AN: I still don't own the Power Rangers, I'm almost sure that Disney owns the rights of Power Rangers. I want to thank the cast call description of the DT Characters which I found online. (The description of the people, when the cast was auditioning for their parts.). They changed a lot of things, between the auditions of DT and the starting of shooting. Connor's last name was 'Ross' and he played basketball. Kira had a part time job at a daycare center. There was no Tommy, but a Dr. Edward Payne. (I'm guessing in case that Jason didn't want to come back.) Devin "Fong" (It's now De Vella, I think) was meant to Asian (Which is why the last name was changed). He was also in a band. Trent Fernandez/Mercer was Trent Gonzales. Mercer was meant to be his uncle, not adoptive father. I couldn't find one for anyone else. Well anyway beside the changes, it was very insightful and inspiring. Now on to the story…. And the premiere of Kim in Reefside…Wow this long and I keep going…..Now here is really the story. Oh and remember that that was written before I posted the 8th chapter (This would be the 10th)

Kira inhaled deeply and then exhaled slowly. "You ready?" She asked Trent, glancing over to him as they exited their algebra two class together.

"You mean to start lying?" Trent frowned. He didn't like the idea of lying, even if it would have a good end result – it was still lying.

"Oh, pish posh." Kira said, waving her hand about as if his words were smoke that she was fanning away. "Don't think of it as lying; just think of it as stretching the truth to better the lives of both her and Dr. O."

Trent shook his head. "It still feels wrong..."

"Don't think of it like that!" She insisted. "Just think of how happy they'll be once they're together."

"But," He began sadly. "What if they don't really belong together? It's been a long time, they might've changed…what if we just end up with them hating each other….We don't belong together and it would be so hard to accept that if we had people trying to force us to be together.."

"We aren't the same, Trent." Kira retorted. "They're different people, different lives, different situations. They were together for so long and they were in love. They only broke apart because of the distance..."

"But still…what if they just aren't meant to be?"

"Trent, we could do this now and then we'd know or we could just forget all about it, not meet her, have her think we ditched and she'll go home and we'll never know if they would've been perfect together…This won't ruin their lives if they come together to find they don't match up, they'll get over it…but it could ruin their lives if they never know and live through life never knowing.." She opened the door slowly and glanced into the outside world. "You coming?"

"Not like I have a choice after what you said." Trent gave her a small smile, though took in a deep breath – not sure if he was ready for this, but still determined to go through with it anyway.

"Ethan!" Connor called into the Spanish class where his friend was still sitting.

"One sec, man." Ethan replied, standing and walking over to Cassidy. "Hey..."

"Hey Ethan..." Her tone wasn't its usually happy one, it was sad, let down, depressed. He hated to hear her so upset.

"What is it?" He whispered, reaching up to brush a bit of hair from her face. "Did you tell him?" He glanced over to Devin, who was angrily packing up his things.

Cassidy shook his head. "Connor did..."

"What! How?" Ethan asked in shock.

"I don't know…it happened so fast..." She mentally groaned when she saw the anger in his eyes. "Don't be mad…It really isn't his fault..." She began, not wanting to start another fight between another set of best friends.

Ethan sighed softly. "Alright…how are things between you and Devin then?" He asked his girlfriend.

"It will get better." Cassidy answered confidently, bright smile on her face. I hope…She mentally added to herself.

Ethan gave her a smile and nodded, taking her hand. "I hate to leave you, but I've got to get going. You'll be ok?"

She nodded. "Of course, go have fun." She leaned up and gave him a quick kiss.

"You're the best, Cass." He told her gently before going and walking over to Connor, who gave a shudder.

"I don't think I'll ever get used to that..."

"You better." Ethan retorted jokingly.

"Yeah, right after I throw up." Connor said with an eye roll, turning and heading off down the hall.

Ethan laughed, walking beside his friend. "How was your date the other night?"

"It sucked." Was the answer, yet it wasn't from Connor.

The two turned around only to see Emily. "Hey, Em." Connor said. "How's it going?"

"You need to stop talking so loudly." Was her only response and it was to Ethan. With that she turned and walked off down another hallway.

"I won't even ask." Ethan said, hands up in surrender. He then froze as he looked over his friend. "Hey! You're not wearing red!"

"Oh, really?" Connor smirked, pulling up his jeans slightly to reveal red socks.

"Yeah, but you're not visibly wearing red…you're wearing blue...Blue is my colour." The blue ranger said pointedly.

"No really, I didn't notice." Connor answered sarcastically. Ethan gave him a look that told him he wanted answers, so with a sigh Connor began to give them. "Kim's a smart girl, who knows the signs of rangers, seeing as she was one at one time. We can't lead her on at any time or we risk blowing our cover and ruining everything."

Ethan faked a look of surprise. "Wait…so you actually thought about all of this?"

Connor playfully punched his friend's arm. "Funny, Ethan." He said sarcastically.

"I try." Ethan smirked. "Did you tell anyone else?"

"Kelly's going to wear white." Connor said, though that was it.

Ethan sighed. "So you tell Kelly, but not your best friends – aka : Kira and me?"

"We'd all end up wearing someone else's colour and things would just get messed up." Connor explained, though Ethan still looked confused so Connor continued. "Ok, look. Say I wear blue, Kira wears pink, Kelly wears red, Trent wears yellow and you wear white. We'd all be wearing different colours, yet we'd still be wearing the same colours of the rangers. It would be a dead give away."

Ethan smirked. "Plus I doubt you could ever stand to have anyone play the part of the red ranger leader." He said with a laugh.

Connor rolled his eyes, though he supposed it was true. He liked being the leader. "Anyway, it all works out. This way both you and me are wearing blue, Kira's still in yellow, and both Trent and Kelly are in white. We couldn't be mistaken for the rangers when we have people wearing the same colours."

Ethan looked impressed. "You really thought this whole thing out didn't you?"

"If we're going to do this – we're doing it right." Connor said in a determined voice, pushing the door open.

Ethan sighed. "Here goes nothing..." He muttered, heading out the door…

Kelly tapped her foot impatiently, leaning against the wall. She was waiting outside of Dr. Oliver's classroom, where Alex had just finished biology. All of the other students had left the room, she was sure that Alex was just taking his sweet ol' time getting himself out.

"Looking for me?" A cocky voice said, pulling Kelly from her thoughts. Alex exited the room, looking her over. "You alright? You don't look so well…"

Kelly looked around before answering. "I'm just a little nervous about pulling all of this off, ya know..." She admitted softly.

The younger boy nodded in understanding. "Well, I think that this could go two ways. We're all obviously hoping for it to go the first way, when it works and we all get less homework. But if it doesn't…"

"Then what?"

"Well..." Alex began. "You've seen him mad, right?"

Kelly nodded, averting her eyes for a moment. More than you know, She thought to herself.

All the rangers had to go through training, with Tommy as the instructor. Sometimes it was one on one other times it was group work. Tommy would never yell at them if they messed up, yet it was easily seen in his eyes, heard in his voice. They all knew he was hard on them because he cared about them, he didn't want to see them hurt in battle. But it also made it hard on them, or at least her, to disappoint him by messing up.

"Kell?" Alex repeated, the first two calls of her name going unheard to her.

"Hm?" Kelly shook her head to clear her thoughts from her mind.

"You alright?"

"Yes." The answer was short and quick, Alex didn't push it. He didn't have the chance to anyway. She was already moving on to a different subject. "Isn't he supposed to stay in his room?" Kelly asked. "He's still in there now…but won't he leave eventually..." She added, speaking of Dr O.

"Jason called," Alex explained slowly. "About ten minutes before the bell rang he called. Tommy spent a good amount of time telling him off, since we were all still in class. But then he told Jason that he would be staying in his room till three before going to help Jason down at the Dojo. Which means that we just need to make sure that Kim steers clear of here and we're good."

Kelly nodded. "I hope it all goes well…"

Alex agreed with a nod, though said nothing. For a while there was silence between the two. Alex was the one to break it. "Kell, you've been here about two weeks longer than me, right?"

She thought for a moment before nodding. "Yeah, why do you ask?"

He thought before answering. "Well…I mean…It hasn't been too long, so...how come you're all so close?"

Kelly couldn't help but smile. "It took work; it isn't as easy as it looks. I think Connor used to hate me for a while, not hate, but you know what I mean…I think it was kinda just one of those things that was meant to be…Since day one they all made me feel happy and welcome, even Connor." She said with a grin. "They're all just really great people and I'm so glad to call them my friends…"

Alex nodded before bluntly asking. "So are you and Trent going out?"

Blush entered Kelly's cheeks. "Well that came out of no where."

The boy shrugged. "You two just seem closer…kind of like Connor and Kira; everyone knows that they're going out." He said as if everyone in the world knew about them.

Kelly smirked a bit. "You know, Alex, all of us are currently single."

"Really?" He sounded a bit surprised.

She nodded. "I wouldn't lie to you. You're like me, you're nosy – you'd find out any way." She said with a laugh. "But what about you? Any special little lady, young man?" She asked with a teasing wink.

"Young man?" He raised a brow. "I'm only a year younger then you."

"Two years." She corrected. "You just turned fifteen."

Alex blew away her comments with a wave of his hand. "A year and some odd months, no difference." He said with a grin as he remembered back to his birthday, or as everyone else called it New Years Day.

"I don't recall an answer." Kelly said with a grin as she began the walk down the short hall to the doors.

Alex smiled a bit. "Well...there is this sophomore."

"Ooh and older woman." Kelly smirked a bit. "Go on, how do you know her?"

"She's in my geometry class...but she's out of my league…she has this rule about only dating older guys." He explained.

"Maybe for you she'll make an exception. Don't give up trying." Kelly insisted.

"Or maybe it's better if I just don't put myself into a position where I know I'll end up getting hurt." He said, opening the door for her.

"But then you'll get hurt anyway, watching her date other men and knowing that you did nothing to stop it." She told him before walking outside to meet with the other rangers.

"That idiot..." Elsa muttered, referring to her ex-husband. "He's such a slob." She added, being in the process of cleaning out the lair. She pushed a few boxes aside and paused, spotting an old looking box hiding in a corner. She looked around before pulling the box towards her. She opened it slowly, sighing quietly. Right on the top was a picture of her from her past, a past that she had believed to be long gone after she had joined up with Mesogog. The picture was fairly nice looking, to most people; to her it brought no nice feelings. It was simple, her and Zeltrax sitting together in the park, back when they were stupid, back when they were humans, back when they hair their baby. The baby she had been forced to give up when she had joined the right side…

"Wow..."A young woman slowly walked up the path towards the high school. She checked her watch and nodded. It was three thirty, just the time she had said she'd arrive. She spotted a group of teenagers and sighed – it was time. She looked herself over quickly. She was wearing a nice fitting pair of jeans, a pink tee-shirt and a jean jacket while a cute pair of pink sunglasses rested on the bridge of her nose. "Here goes nothing..." She muttered, taking a few more steps forward. "Alex?" She asked, hoping that she had the right group of teenagers.

None of them moved for a moment until Alex decided to step forward. "Hello, Ms. Hart..." He began, figuring that this must be Kimberly. He gave her a quick look over. She was really quiet beautiful. Dr O was lucky to have gotten her.

Kim smiled, holding out her hand. "Hey, Alex. You can call me Kim or Kimberly. Miss Kart makes me feel so old and single." She said with a laugh.

Alex gave her a small, yet shy smile. He was wondering why he felt so…intimidated by her. Usually by now he'd have pulled off some smartass comment like he always did. But he just couldn't do that with her. "Um...ok…Kimberly..."

The former pink ranger gave him a kind smile. "Hey, don't be nervous. I'm not that old, ok? Just try and treat me like I'm just a friend ok? I think it'll make it easier on both of us."

Alex nodded. "Alright, I'll try…so...um…what would you like to see first?"

"I think an introduction to your friends would be nice." She said, nodding to the five behind Alex, whom he'd temporarily forgotten about.

He nodded, turning so he could see his friends. "Alright, well this is Connor, Kira, Ethan, Trent and Kelly." He told her, pointing to each one as he said their name.

Kimberly smiled. "Pleasure meeting you all." She said politely, looking them all over, slightly surprised that they all seemed to be the same age, while Alex seemed to be younger.

"I tend to attract older friends." Alex said with a slight smirk, anticipating her question.

Kim blushed slightly though laughed. "No problems with that. So, you're ok with playing tour guide for a while?"

"Of course, I wrote the letter didn't I?" His smirk grew as he and Kelly shared a mischievous glance.

The former pink laughed. "Yes you did. So where to first?"

When Alex looked lost for an answer Connor stepped forward. "Let's tour the school."

"Sure." Kim smiled and allowed them to usher her inside. She had been blind to the fact that her former boyfriend had just driven off in his jeep behind them, though the students certainly had noticed.

"Wow..." Tommy muttered as he looked around the empty room. "I can't believe that you bought this place, Jase..."

"Well, it always has been a dream of mine to open one of these…" Jason said quietly. For the past week Jason had forced himself to keep the dojo secret, at least until the deal was finalized and the place was finally his. And now it was. It had come as a complete shock to everyone, especially Tommy, when he had told them all on New Years Eve.

"What about your degree?" Tommy asked, running his hand along the white painted walls.

Jason smiled fondly as he looked around. "What about it? You need to follow your dreams sometimes."

Tommy laughed. "You're crazy…"

"I know." Jason smirked. "That's what I get for hanging out with you all these years."

"Yeah…wait a minute…Hey!"

Jason laughed. It was good to be back.

"So..." Kim began, still laughing from a joke Connor had told. "How'd you all become friends?"

The rangers were silent, all looking at each other for an answer. Finally they all nodded and Kira answered. "Fate… It just sort of happened..."

Kim shook her head. "I still can't get used to that. You all just staring at each other and talking without talking..." It was odd to see them doing it, yet she could still remember being apart of it back when she was a ranger.

Alex sighed mentally. Boy do I feel left out... He thought to himself. The other teens were all so close, they didn't even need words. "Hey..." He said suddenly. "Why don't we go and show Kim, Hayley's?"

"What's that?" Kim wondered aloud.

"Hayley's Cyberspace," Trent began. "It's a computer café/juice bar type place."

"It's our little hang out place." Kelly continued when he stopped. "Trent and Alex work there…"

Kim smiled, mind fluttering back to her days at Ernie's. "Sure, let's go…"
