Chapter 1 A Warm Welcoming

A big, sleek airplane moved in for a landing. It hit a runway right in the middle of Angel Grove. A pair of bright blue eyes stared out a window, ready to greet home. Katherine Hillard, former pink ranger picked up her bags and began moving out of the plane. After teaching for 4 years at the Royal Dance Academy in London, she needed a break, and a mighty morphin', Zeo, and DinoThunder ranger reunion had come along at just the right time. She had quickly and eagerly decided to come back to the first home of the power rangers and her own home. She, along with others who weren't living in Angel Grove anymore, had been able to get a room in Angel Grove's finest hotel, Angel Grove Heaven, courtesy of Tommy and Trent, since Anton Mercer, Trent's father, had wanted to repay Tommy and given him and the dino rangers, as well as the originals, money to rent a room each in Angel Grove for a little get-together. Kat had been grateful; since she wasn't sure where else she would stay. She gathered up the last of her bags, flipped her blond hair over one shoulder, and began walking to the hotel. She began to head in, and paid for a room on the third floor. She was just walking up the stairs, when a familiar voice called "Kat!" she whirled around to see Tanya standing there. Tanya quickly gathered her in a hug, and Kat smiled as she stepped back from her best friend. "Kat, you're finally here!" Adam's voice spoke up. He was wiping his hand, Rocky trailing behind him. Kat nodded and embraced them too, then stood back to look at them. "Tommy's already here." Rocky announced. "Really? Where?" Kat asked. "He's….um…well; it sounded like he was busy." Rocky said. Tanya burst out laughing. "He's probably busy trying to get his new rangers under control." She said. "Hey! Kira, Ethan, STOP!" An unfamiliar voice exclaimed as a redhead burst in, running from two blue and yellow clad people. The girl with long curly hair reached over and whacked his head and the black boy hit his shoulder. "Don't look at me." A boy in white said to an unmistakable Tommy. "I'm still sane." He said. Tommy shook his head and reached over to tear the three apart, then glanced at the Zeo rangers. "Kat, you're here!" he said, grabbing her in a hug as well. Kat smiled, a little weary from all the hugs. "Yeah…..who are your new friends?" she motioned behind him to a still arguing Conner, Kira, and Ethan. "Oh, these are Conner, Kira, Ethan, and Trent, my ex-students. Also known as the dino thunder rangers." He added in a low voice. "Red, blue, yellow, and white. Tommy's black." Tanya explained. Kat had guessed as much, judging from their color coordinated outfits. "I can see that." She eyed them, then turned back to her friends. "I'm going to get set up, if you don't mind." She began moving her bags into her room which was just around the corner.
