Paris

Ladybug and Chat Noir were just finishing up another successful mission of protecting Paris. Ever since Hawk Moth's failed partnership with Rita, he had gotten more aggressive with his attacks on the city. He now went by Shadow Moth since the Peacock Miraculous had been restored, meaning he was able to use both the butterfly and peacock jewels without risk of harm. But even with his upgraded powers and new name, he still wasn't having any more luck than before on defeating the heroes of Paris and claiming their Miraculous. In fact they seemed to be more in sync with each other than ever since the Power Rangers helped them.

"Pound it," the heroes said together smiling warmly at each other.

Both Ladybug and Chat Noir were very tempted to embrace each other on the spot and kiss, but they had both agreed that they would have to keep their love lives strictly as Marinette and Adrien. It would look too suspicious if the public and their friends saw both pairs end up in a relationship at the same time, so they would very reluctantly not be so lovey dovey with each other when they were superheroes and saving Paris.

"Well m'lady, I think we might still have time to resume our respective plans for the evening," said Chat Noir with a sly wink. "I actually had a movie date with my girlfriend, and I'd hate to stand her up since she's the most amazing and beautiful girl in the world."

Ladybug couldn't help her blush as she smiled while looking at the ground.

"Well in that case I guess I better not hold you up," said Ladybug batting her eyelashes just a bit. "I certainly wouldn't want to keep her gorgeous boyfriend away from her any longer than is necessary. If she's smart she'll be wanting to lock lips the second she sees you."

Chat Noir was really struggling to hold in a chuckle as he took out his staff.

"Well, I'll be seeing you next time Ladybug, have a good night," said Chat Noir with one more smirk as he leapt off into the sky in the direction of the movie theater.

"Mmmmmmm, he's so perfect," said Ladybug dreamily to herself in a whisper. Taking out her yo yo she launched herself in the same general direction as Chat Noir but at a different angle.

Ladybug swung herself over several rooftops, waving to fans as she flew by that were cheering for her. She even went low to give a young boy a high five in mid swing before one last high launch. She ended up landing in an alley so she could drop her transformation unseen.

"Hide Tikki," said Marinette opening her purse so her kwami could fly inside where a macaroon was waiting for her.

Walking out into the open Marinette started walking down the block towards the cinema, where she saw her amazing boyfriend Adrien waiting for her. Once he saw that she was coming he gave her a smile and a wave. Too eager to walk, Marinette started running right to him with wide eyes. Adrien started moving in her direction as well with a matching smile. After a short sprint Marinette leapt into Adrien's arms where he gracefully lifted her slightly into the air, hugging her like a boy truly in love, which he was.

"I missed you," said Marinette looking into Adrien's bright green eyes. Adrien returned the smile, getting lost in his girlfriend's deep blue eyes

"You just saw me two minutes ago Marinette," Adrien whispered closely into her ear with a playful smile.

"I know, and that was two minutes too long away from you," said Marinette moving her arms higher to slide around Adrien's neck. His skin felt so warm to the touch and she just couldn't get enough of it. "I'll forever be grateful to the Power Rangers for coming here and helping us realize what it would mean to learn our identities. These last few weeks since then have been the happiest of my life."

"Well I sure hope that someday we find a way to see them again, even if it's just to thank them for everything they did for us once more," said Adrien with a hungry look in his eyes.

"Ditto my gorgeous ray of sunshine," said Marinette, just as eager as Adrien.

"I love you Marinette," said Adrien leaning in and pulling Marinette into a deep and passionate kiss. Marinette returned the passion with interest as they both held each other close, the whole world around them not mattering to either of them at that moment.

"I love you too Adrien, I hope this never changes," said Marinette as they reluctantly separated. Taking her hand in his own, the young couple walked together into the movie theater to enjoy their date. One of many that they will have for years to come in a long and happy life together, powered by love which is always so strong.

Lila Rossi was fuming as she sat on the edge of her cot, fists clenched so tight her nails were digging into her skin. She had barely thought of anything else other than how she got here over the past month as she was awaiting trial for her role in aiding a supervillain. It all boiled down to one thing that she hated with a burning passion. LADYBUG!

"I can't believe that I've been stuck in this nightmare for a month now. I should have had everything, a future career as a model for Gabriel Agreste, Adrien's hand, fame, money, being worshipped. But that pest Ladybug ruined everything." Lila kept gritting her teeth together every time that name was spoken or even thought of.

The troubled brunette kept adjusting herself on her cot trying to get comfortable, which seemed like an impossible task. These weren't exactly the most comfortable mattresses. Not exactly surprising since this was a juvenile detention center rather than a luxury spa. She glanced around the room at all the other juveniles that were around. Some were just minding their own business, others looked like they were looking to stir up trouble.

"It's absolutely disgraceful that I've been stuck in this place with these rats, I do not deserve this," said Lila like an entitled brat.

"Rossi, you have a visitor, let's go," said the guard as he walked into the room with an annoyed look on his face. Clearly not the kind of guard that had any interest in helping these troubled teens.

Lila looked at the guard with an equal look of annoyance as she stood up to walk to the door. They both glared at each other as the guard escorted her to the visiting room. Lila had been a regular cause of trouble in the month she'd been here and the guard had very little patience with her. On more than one occasion Lila had made attempts to spread her usual lies, but unlike the outside world these people were not so gullible. Or they just plain didn't care about the stuff she claimed and would wonder why they should be impressed with her entitled claims.

"Here you go, you have twenty minutes," said the guard blankly as he opened the door so Lila could go in.

Lila gave the guard one more look of hatred that the guard returned before walking in to see her visitor. She strolled over the the table on the far end of the room and sat down, putting both of her hands on the table to put on her fake cheery face that made her seem innocent.

"Thank you so much for coming to see me again mother, is there any news about getting me out of here and the charges dropped?" asked Lila in a sweet voice and smile as she looked into her mother's eyes across the table.

Her mother however had a look of complete disgust on her face, very different than the look she had in her previous visits.

"Lila, you have been lying to me this whole time haven't you," said Clara Rossi with a frown. Lila's smile dropped a bit in shock, she hadn't expected this kind of greeting.

"Wh...what, I haven't lied about anything, I was framed for the crimes I've been accused of and am completely innocent," said Lila putting her hands up in fake shock.

Lila's mother had been away for some time due to her job as an ambassador. She'd only been able to see Lila via video chat and was now here in person for the first time. During this time Lila had been telling her mother anything that she felt was necessary to secure her release from this place and get her life back. But now that her mother was actually here she had been briefed by the police and media of everything that Lila had done, and been shown the video coverage of her daughter trying to be intentionally akumatized to aid Hawk Moth.

"Lila I've spoken to the media and the police, they're told me everything that you did. I've also seen the coverage of what you both did and said to Ladybug and Chat Noir. You actually tried to help Hawk Moth on your own free will. Do you have any idea how ashamed I am to call you my daughter right now?" said Clara, her voice slightly raising towards the end of her speech.

Lila realized that she was in real trouble now if her mother had seen the coverage, but that didn't stop her from drifting from her usual tactics of deflecting blame and lying about it all.

"No, you can't believe any of that stuff," said Lila waving her hands up. "All that stuff has been doctored to make me look bad by people that are jealous of me and what I have." Lila was desperately trying to save face but her mother wasn't having any of it.

"Stop, just STOP Lila, I've had enough of this," said Clara standing up in anger. "Not only have I spoken to the media and police, but I've spoken to Ladybug and Chat Noir themselves. They both told me about not only the trouble you caused during the attack on Paris, but other things you've done in the past. They told me about how you've been terrorizing one of your classmates, Marinette. How you framed her for stealing and faked falling down the stairs to get her expelled. Everything I've been informed of is absolutely appalling and an absolute embarrassment to our family."

Lila was quickly turning red in the face hearing that Ladybug was personally attempting to make sure she didn't get out of this. Even more so that everything that her war with Marinette was also getting brought into this. She still had plans to completely ruin that girl and bring it into this was beyond infuriating.

"YOU'RE GOING TO BELIVE ALL OF THOSE PEOPLE OVER ME, YOUR OWN DAUGHTER," shouted Lila standing up and pounding her hands on the table. "YOU'RE SUPPOSED TO BE ON MY SIDE NO MATTER WHAT." Lila was shouting so wildly that her voice was cracking.

"YOU SIT YOUR ASS DOWN YOUNG LADY," shouted Clara stepping right up to her daughter and getting in her face. Lila quickly backed down from her mother's scary look. Cowering like the fake she is, she sat back looked back up at her mother.

Clara had begun to pace back and forth right beside the table, still finding it hard to believe that her daughter was capable of such unspeakable things.

"I wanted to believe that this was all a mistake, I was convinced that it was," said Clara, completely ashamed that she has to say these words. "I just thought 'there's no way my innocent daughter could ever do such things', but I was wrong. I don't know what happened to make you like this, maybe it was me being away so often for my job, but regardless of that, what you did was nothing short of disgraceful. I can't support or defend you after all of this. So I'm sorry Lila, but I will not be offering my help at your trial next week. You will have to face the full consequences of everything you've done."

Lila's mouth dropped open listening to her mother's words. How could her own mother just be abandoning her like this?

"You can't be serious?" said Lila standing back up, finding her second wind.

"Oh I am very serious Lila. It's about time you learned that when you do something bad, there are consequences and you will have to face them," said Clara clenching her fists behind her back. "I will be there for your trial, but I will not be offering you any support. I may be your mother and I do love you, but I just cannot endorse you getting away with the things you did without punishment."

Lila was starting to shake in anger again. It was looking more and more likely that she was going to be kept away from the outside world for who knew how long. She was being tried as an adult due to the nature of her crimes which meant she could face life in prison, ending any chance she had at the life she had been building herself towards.

"I'm leaving now, I'll see you next week at your trial," said Clara as she started walking to the door where the guard was waiting. But Lila wasn't finished yet as she walked after her.

"Mark my words mother, you will regret deciding not to help me. One way or another I will get out of here and when I do I'll...*smack

Clara Rossi had heard just about enough and wasn't going to tolerate her daughter's attitude any longer. Turning around she brought her hand around quickly and smacked Lila right in the face. Lila reached up to hold her now red cheek in complete shock. Her mother had never struck her before and now that she had, the brunette backing away in fear.

"I will not listen to your disrespectful behavior or lies any longer Lila," said Clara lowering her hand again. "I hope at some point you will learn that none of your decisions are acceptable and reform yourself. Until then you need to really listen to the psychiatrists here."

Turning back to the door Clara started walking again. The guard had seen what had happened after opening the door but didn't react to it at all. He was actually somewhat delighted to see the trouble maker get what she probably had been long overdue for, and the fact that her mother had done it made it even more entertaining.

"Let's go Rossi, back to your cot," said the guard crossing his arms and beckoning Lila to get a move on.

Lila was still in shock at getting smacked across the face by her mother, but didn't put up any resistance as she slowly started walking out of the room. She caught one last glimpse of her mother down the hall as she exited the detention center before turning the corner.

"This is an absolute nightmare," Lila whispered to herself as it was finally sinking in that she was going to face severe consequences for her actions. This realization had her shaking with fear as she sat back down on her thin and uncomfortable cot. Putting her hand into her open palms she started to let tears flood from her eyes freely. This drew the attention of other juveniles, some of which started grinning happily.

"We might have ourselves a new bitch," one of the girls whispered to her friend with a smirk. The other girl nodded in approval.

Earth 2 Dimension*

A few weeks had passed since the Power Rangers had returned from the alternate timeline to assist Ladybug and Chat Noir in Paris. Though all of them made it back safely they all were a little bummed that they had to return so quickly after they completed their mission. Upon returned they all discussed among themselves how they had wished they could stay a bit to further get to know their new friends and explore Paris. It's not as if the Rangers didn't deserve a small vacation from the whole saving the world job and also going to school.

But the one thing that did prove to be beneficial from the whole trip was that it brought Tommy back into their regular lives. After returning the green ranger did unfortunately have to surrender his power again, but that little taste of getting to be a Power Ranger once more brought hope back to him that he could one day get his powers back permanently. None of them know how yet, but they would figure it out one way or another. For now though they were all just happy to have Tommy back to hang out with whenever they weren't fighting Rita's monsters.

The six friends were currently enjoying a volunteer afternoon of helping set up the school for family tree week. It started tomorrow and each of the Rangers were excited to share their family history with their classmates. Each of them had made charts with themselves at the top, and how their family line went back for generations.

"Alright, I guess we'll be able to set ours up right here outside our homeroom," said Jason handing everyone some tape to stick up their charts.

"I'm still amazed that Billy is actually a descendent of Einstein himself," said Zack giving Billy a playful nudge into his arm. "Though with his amazing brains I guess it shouldn't really be all that surprising."

Billy smiled at the compliment, he was quite proud of his ancestor and that he was able to keep the family trend of brilliance going.

"Hey you also have Kimberly whose grandma was an Olympic gymnast, which makes it so much clearer how she's so amazing herself on the balance beam," said Trini putting her arm around her best friend's shoulder.

"What can I say, flipping through the air has always been in my blood," said Kimberly smiling and holding up her own chart.

As the friends were all hanging up their charts some trouble was walking their way down the hall. Turns out a couple other guys were lurking around the school after hours, but not to help set the place up. It was the two punk bafoons knows as Bulk and Skull.

"Well well well, looks like the dweeb convention has come to town," said Bulk trying to sound cool with his leather vest and chains hanging from his pants.

"Yeah, dweeb convention," said Skull in support, his face looking like someone was pulling his lip to the side with a fishhook.

"What are you guys doing here?" asked Tommy looking annoyed. "If you aren't here to help what do you want?"

"Well now, maybe we actually are here to help," said Bulk standing up to Tommy, but it's not a pretty sight. "As in help find a better place to hang all of your charts. Maybe the trashcan would be an upgrade." As he finished talking Bulk made a lunge for Trini's chart with Skull going for Billy's.

The Rangers were all to familiar with the tomfoolery of these idiots and easily side stepped out of their way, letting them crash into the wall. All six of the Rangers were smiling in amusement.

"Don't you two ever learn your lessons?" asked Jason in a half amused half annoyed tone.

"What lesson is there to learn, we're too cool to need to learn anything we haven't learned on the streets," said Bulk cracking his knuckles.

"Yeah, on the street," said Skull like a parrot. Bulk looked at his partner with a frown. He didn't always like that he repeated everything he said.

"Would you shut up, come on," said Bulk as the two punks moved to tackle the Rangers.

Since they did not think their actions through in advance they were not prepared for what was coming their way. The Rangers easily jumped out of their way again and let Bulk and Skull trip themselves over a wet tarp that had been set up along the other wall. Both of them then fell to the floor and went face first into a paint tray that was still full of green paint. Pushing each other apart they stood up and were now sporting fresh green faces that was dribbling all down their fronts, ruining their clothes.

"Wow, I've heard of having a green thumb, but this is something else," said Kimberly sarcastically, crossing her arms.

"Hey it's ok guys, we can salvage this. We just need a little more paint and we can make them be the trees," said Zack with a chuckle.

Bulk and Skull were suddenly started their signature screams of agony whenever they humiliated themselves and running out of the hall towards the exits.

The Rangers all watched the punks run out while laughing together.

"Oh man, that's the kind of thing I kinda wish we could have shared with Marinette and Adrien," said Tommy. "I don't know if they have this kind of entertainment in their timeline."

"Yeah, I know we only knew them for a few hours, but they did seem pretty great and I hope we can see them again someday," said Billy as the Rangers all stood side by side together.

"Well, until that day happens I'm just glad that the six of us have each other, you're all my family too," said Jason putting his arms around both Zack and Trini.

"Yeah, definitely, the Power Rangers are always their own family," said Kimberly as everyone joined together for a group hug.

For the time being life was good for the Rangers. The six of them were hanging out together again, Rita was still not having any luck in conquering the world, and Zordon was fully recovered after creating the portal to let them travel. Nothing can ever bring down the Power Rangers as long as they stick together.
