Jen had gotten some rest but it didn't seem like it was very much when her com link woke her up.
"Not now," Jen groaned.
It steadily kept beeping. Jen tried to ignore it but couldn't; she finally got up and answered it.
"Wes!" Jen was surprised to see him on the other line.
"Hey Jen, how are you?" Wes was glad to see her.
"Not very good; I just found out that my little sister was killed in a SWAT mission." Jen sniffed.
"No Jen, she wasn't." Wes told her.
Jen was confused, "What are you talking about? The Captain said that-"
"That she had disappeared off their radar; they just assumed she had been killed. Jen she fell into a time vortex; she's here with me." Wes said.
Jen's heart jumped, "Are you sure that it's her?"
"Jen, I have never seen someone who looks this much like you before in my life; I'll go wake her up if you don't believe me." Wes smiled.
"No, it's alright. I'm going to get on a Time Ship right now. I'll be there soon. Wes, I don't how to thank you." Jen was practically out the door.
Time Force was just closing up for the day when Jen rushed into the office and started to bring the Time Ship online.
Admiral Logan came on the com system a little alarmed, "Jen what are you doing?"
"Jessie's alive; she's with Wes and I'm going back to get her." Jen strapped herself in.
"How is this possible?" Admiral Logan was relieved that she was alright, but confused as to how she got back to the year 2003.
"I'll explain later, right now I have to go." Jen brought the thrusters online.
"Good luck." The com link was shut down.
Jen braced herself as she speeded toward the vortex that would take her to Jessie and to Wes.
A few hours later Jen awoke and remembered what had happened; she climbed out of the Time Ship and onto the all too familiar white sand. At first, she didn't see anyone but then she spotted Jessie walking towards her. Jen ran to her and hugged her.
"Jess, I thought that I'd lost you." Jen sighed into her hair.
"You can't get rid of me that easily Jen." Jessie smiled and Jen kissed her on the forehead.
"I'm sorry for overreacting about the upgrade thing." Jen told her.
"Jen, forget it ever happened." Jessie hugged her again.
Wes smiled.
The three of them had returned to Wes's house and caught up on old times. Jessie was glad to see her sister happy again and Jen was glad to see Wes and to see that Jessie was still alive. Wes was just happy in general but Jen being there made it all the more enjoyable.
"Do you remember the first time we met and I thought that you were completely insane?" Wes laughed.
"I thought you were a spoiled rich kid." Jen laughed.
"Hey, Jen I'm going to head to bed; I'll see you in the morning." Jessie had smiled at the two of them and knowing that the two of them wanted to be alone, no matter how much they would deny it.
"Are you sure Jess?" Jen asked.
"Yeah, you're more than welcome to stay down here." Wes replied.
"I'm still a little rattled from this whole experience." Jessie hugged Jen goodnight and smiled at Wes. Leaving the room, she glanced back on the two of them and thought to herself, "If they don't kiss tonight; I'm going to scream."
"Jen, I'm so happy to see you again." Wes told her.
"I am too Wes, you have no idea." Jen replied.
Wes got up from his chair and moved to sit with her on the couch. Jen snuggled closer to him.
"Jen I really do love you." Wes looked into her eyes.
"I love you too Wes; I always have." Jen whispered.
Wes leaned in closer to her and she met him halfway. Jen and Wes had both waited so long for this moment and when their lips touched Jen felt the entire world fall away from the two of them. Wes felt Jen run her hand over his back and he lowered her onto the couch.
Jessie felt herself awake and for a moment she wasn't sure where she was. Looking around the brightly lit bedroom all of the memories of the past few weeks came flooding back to her. Her eyes, running over the bookcase, couch, and desk, came to the source of the sunlight; the sparkling bay window in the center of the wall. She had to shield her eyes.
"Jesus, Wes haven't you ever heard of blinds?" Jessie remarked and her eyes fell to the dresser in the corner of the room. There was a pair of blue jeans with a light pink shirt and a white jacket. She laughed at the thought of Wes trying to pick out clothes for her.
After getting dressed she went downstairs and found Phillips cooking breakfast.
"Hello Miss Scotts, did you sleep well?" He asked her.
"Please call me Jessie." She smiled and picked up an apple off of the counter. Looking around, Jessie didn't notice Jen and knew that there was only one place that she could be. Much to her surprise however Jen and Wes both came threw the back door laughing.
"See I told you that if you would get up early enough that you would be able to keep up with me." Jen smiled.
"How do you do it Jess? She about killed me." Wes panted.
"It's a gift." Jessie laughed.
All of a sudden Jessie heard a buzzing and pulled a small touch screen object out of her back pocket.
"What's up Jess?" Jen asked motioning to the scanner.
"It's Drasi; he must have followed me back here." Jessie replied.
"What?" Jen looked at the scanner and sure enough, there he was causing trouble in the north square of town.
"Well what are we waiting for? Let's get moving." Wes replied heading out the door.
At the Ellenton Plaza, Drasi was causing trouble and creating destruction but mostly he was just trying to lure out a particular person.
He destroyed a fountain, "Where is she?"
"Are you looking for me?" Jessie stepped in front of Jen and Wes.
"Well it looks like you got lucky and fell into the time hole I created; you would have been destroyed otherwise." Drasi was being cocky.
"I wouldn't be so sure about that." Jessie replied.
"You're not going to get that chance again." Jen yelled.
"Time for Time Force!" The three yelled in unison.
A flash of white, red, and pink and the three Time Force Rangers were standing in front of Drasi.
"Just because you have some friends doesn't mean that you will escape!" Drasi charged at them.
Knocking down Wes and Jen, Drasi struck at Jessie but she counter attacked. Jessie began to raise her leg to kick him but he grabbed it and flipped her backwards. Jen retaliated and shot at Drasi with her chronoblaster; he was taken off guard and the shot hit its mark. Rounding on Jen and firing his turbine, she fell to the ground. Wes and Jessie both took aim, fired, and hit their mark at the same time. Drasi stumbled backwards.
"Well it has been fun, you are more of an opponent than I thought; however, I'm done playing!" Drasi shot several high energy lasers in their direction.
In a shower of yellow sparks, the three of them demorphed and crumpled to the ground.
Drasi advanced toward them, "I figured that the famous Captain Scotts and Commander Collins would put up a better fight. It seems I gave you too much credit."
A high-energy blast came out of nowhere and sent Drasi flying backwards.
"Do you need some help?" Katie, Lucas, and Trip appeared carrying their weapons.
"What? What are they doing back?" Drasi regrouped and vanished.
"Are you guys alright?" Lucas asked, helping them up.
"Yeah, thanks to you." Wes replied.
Back at Wes's mansion, everyone was laughing and catching up on old times. Lucas had returned from the race track on the west coast; Katie had left her husband and son back in the future; and Trip was taking a vacation from the Time Force Technology Lab.
"Wes, it's so good to see you again!" Katie hugged him.
"Katie, Katie, let go; I can't breathe!" Wes choked out.
Katie let him go, "Sorry Wes."
Wes messaged his rib cage, "It's alright; I've actually kind of missed those."
Katie went to hug him again, smiling.
Wes backed up, "Not that much."
Everyone laughed.
"So Lucas how is racing going?" Jen asked.
"It's good; I actually finished first in the pre-limbs and am going to be starting in the championships in a few weeks." Lucas replied.
"Oh yeah well, I'm going to a conference next week for the new technology that Time Force is looking at; Admiral Logan picked me especially." Trip said proudly.
"That's great Trip!" Wes said laughing, he hadn't changed much.
Jessie smiled and walked out onto the balcony. The sound of the other ranger's laughter filled her ears as she stared into the sky.
"Hey, what's up?" Jen asked coming up beside her.
"It's nothing," Jessie replied.
"It doesn't seem like nothing to me." Jen told her.
"It's just that Drasi seemed more bent on destroying me than you guys." Jessie admitted.
"Don't worry about it, he's a mutant they do those kinds of things for no reason. Besides, he'll have to get through me first." Jen nudged her and smiled.
"Thanks Jen," Jessie looked at her.
"For what?" Jen asked.
"For just being you." Jessie smiled.
Jen hugged her, "Always."
"The food's here!" Someone yelled from inside.
Jen and Jessie went into the kitchen along with the others and fought over the pizza.
