A couple of years later, we go to Aisha and Adam's ranch style home. We panel into there living room. Adam is sitting in the living-room with Jason and Trini. Trini is holding on to Jace who is knocked out. We panel over to the kitchen and Aisha washing dishes. She shakes her head at Trini who kisses her son and is listening to her husband and Adam have a debate
Adam: I'm just saying….Cowboys are going to give it to the Panthers
Jason: In your dreams frog boy
Aisha: Hey!(they look at her)watch it(smiles)He is my Frog Prince actually
Adam: Thank you honey(stands)are you sure you don't want me too…
Aisha: I have it….relax yourself(he nods and sits down)
Adam: so back to what….
Trini: What do you two have planned for your 12th anniversary next week?(hands Jace to Jason stopping their debate. Trini looks at Aisha who winks)
Adam: Well I was thinking a nice quiet weekend get away to the wine country?(looks at Aisha who shrugs with a smile)
Jason: Just thinking?(sips his beer)You two haven't decided yet?
Aisha: Well no(walks over and sits on Adam's lap. He gladly excepts her presence)I mean Jase it's hard to place a Pre-teen(rolls her eyes)she doesn't want to go anywhere
Jason:(laughs)Didn't know you gave her an option Warden?(Aisha throws a pillow at him but makes sure she misses Jace)
Aisha: You know this warden lets her get away with murder(Trini laughs)
Adam: with my wife yes(pops her butt and Aisha gets up)but her daddy not so much(stands up)Babe she's staying with Kim….either that her grandparents. That's final
Aisha: If you say so(sits down)but your telling Asia
Adam:(sings)I know! I'm the strict parent anyways(walks into the kitchen)your always the good cop
Aisha: Most of the time(turns towards him)but when she steps out of line with my husband! Then we're both on her shit list(Adam laughs. Aisha smiles and looks at her friends)
Trini: Yeah, I'm the strict parent(looks at Jason)he's a sucker for his son
Jason:I'm no ones sucker(Adam walks over, sits down and pops open his beer)my boy(Adam leans back and Aisha leans on him)just deserves the world.
Trini: They both do(Adam goes to drink his beer but Aisha takes it and sips it first. Adam gives her a look and Aisha smiles and passes it back to him)but they don't deserve to get over $100 worth of stuff every time we go to a store.
Adam: Tell them Tree(Trini looks at him)Aisha brought our daughter this $89 leather jacket that she is going to grow out of by the spring.
Aisha: Oh come on Adam! It's the winter!Its in season!(Trini chuckles) and she really wanted it. She is a good kid….why can't we treat her for being amazing?
Jason: Exactly my point(AJ walks in the room)
Adam: You're spoiling them is my point.
AJ: Mom(they look at her)did you make my lunch for school tomorrow?
Aisha: In the fridge baby! You don't have to make it!
AJ: thanks mommy….you're the best!
Adam: AJ….can you put the garbage in the garage for me please?
AJ:(grossed out)Daddy, that bag really stinks.
Adam: That's why I'm asking for you to take it out
AJ: Dad your joking right?(Trini looks at Aisha who sighs)that is so your job.
Adam: It's no ones job! Asia just put the trash in the garage please. I don't need any extra mouth.
AJ: Dad, your being unfair and(crosses her arms and Aisha raises her eyebrow to the change in AJ's body language)I feel like your picking on me.
Aisha: Asia(looks at her)(sternly)take the garbage to the garage and don't make me have to repeat myself please(AJ mumbles under her breath)uhh(stands)
Adam/Aisha: excuse me?(Jason and Trini look at each other)
AJ: Nothing(goes and grabs the garbage)nothing at all Father and Mother(leaves the room. Aisha sighs a long sigh. Adam looks at Trini and Jason who look at him)
Adam. See! Spoiling your kids….ruins them(Aisha sits down and hits him hard)OW!
Aisha: My child is not spoiled!(glares at him)She is an almost teenage girl(pokes him)and you started it with her Adam.
Adam:(simply)by asking her to take out the trash?
Aisha: Since when does she take out the trash Adam Park?(he goes to answer but she stops him)Never is the answer(Adam opens his mouth again)I don't wanna hear nor talk about this any longer(silence) (quickly)I hate(Adam smirks knowing it wasn't over)when you two do that to me(takes his beer)or when I have to put my foot down on her….even when you start it.
Adam: I just asked her one little thing(laughs)Your just mad you had to discipline your precious angle because she has your mouth(Jason whistles and Trini touches his arm. Aisha blinks a couple of times before sipping his beer)(mumbles)did I just say that? No more beer for me(Aisha puts the drink down)
Aisha: No more beer and(happily)no more wine country with your mouthy wife next weekend(grunts)for our 12th anniversary(pats his leg, stands up and walks off)
Jason: Good job(laughs) liquid courage! I expected you to learn by now!(Trini holds in a giggle)
Adam: Shut up(Trini smirks)(sighs)great(stands and looks at them)excuse us for a sec(follows his wife)
Trini: See what spoiling your kids does(looks at Jason who smirks)
AJ:(yells)Mom! Daddy!(they turn to Aisha and Adam who stop arguing in the kitchen)
Adam:(calls)AJ?!(they walk towards the garage, Adam goes first. AJ runs in abruptly)whoa!(Trini quickly stands. Adam catches AJ and Aisha walks over trying to calm her. Jason stands and puts the baby down)
Aisha: Baby! What is it?(touches her face and AJ starts pointing to the back)
AJ: mom….the….in-in-in
Aisha: Baby slow down(Trini and Jason walk over)
Jason: Pumpkin, what's going on?
AJ:(yells)Uncle Tommy is the Black Dino Thunder Ranger(everyone freezes and Tommy walks in the room quickly and out of breath. They look at him)
Tommy: AJ wait!(they just stare at him and AJ turns)
AJ: I saw you in your uniform and then it just disappeared
Aisha: Tommy what is she(he sighs and holds up his watch. Everyone steps back and Jason and Adam get into a protective stance)AJ(puts AJ behind her)
Tommy: whoa!(Trini stands behind Jason ready to protect her son if she has too)Guys it's really me(holds up his hands)Jason and Adam….remember Zach's bachelor party, the Go-Go dancers….
Jason:(cuts him off)oh!(Adam and Jason start to relax)oh ok! We get it….it's you!
Trini: What Go-Go(glares at Jason)dancers?
AJ:(happily)You're a power ranger!(everyone looks at her. Aisha and Adam look at each other. Aisha nods and pulls AJ in front of her)
Aisha: AJ shhh!(touches her face)
AJ: but mom he(Adam touches a pressure point on AJ's neck and she passes out. Aisha quickly catches her daughter)
Aisha: I hate when you do that to her(Adam takes AJ and takes her over to the couch)
Adam: I know(lays her down and kisses her head)I do too(walks back over and everyone looks at Tommy)
Jason: ok Tommy….explain!
Tommy: Ok so do you remember when I got that job with Anton Mercer ?
Jason: Yeah on that private Island?(Tommy nods)
Aisha: The one that blew up about two months ago and thank God you weren't on it(Tommy laughs sheepishly)wait…
Trini: Oh my GOD!(panicked)You were on that thing Tommy?
Tommy: Yeah and I wasn't only on it but(rubs the back of his neck)
Adam: Damn(chuckles)you blew it up too?(Tommy only nods)
Aisha/Trini:(outraged)Tommy Oliver!(Tommy winces)
Tommy: It had to happen because(shows the gem in his arm)some monsters named Tyrannodrones came to the island looking for the gems and so yeah I took them before they could and blew it up.
Jason: I can not(laughs)understand why you are not in jail?
Tommy: because they deemed it as an accident….(laughs)Besides in high school we didn't go to jail and we destroyed a lot buildings that they had to build over and over again.
Trini: This is not a laughing matter. I mean the insurance company didn't do a full investigation?
Tommy: It was a private island(nods no) Anton wouldn't let them do a full investigation. Besides no one was supposed to be there not even for work. It was supposed to be abandoned. They said it below up because of natural causes.
Adam: Hmm! That's a little weird(Trini nods in agreement)Anton must know some people(Trini nods agin)(To Jason) I told you the Black Ranger had the same fighting style(Aisha sits down at her counter)
Jason: Yeah but I didn't think the dough-dough would actually step in the frontline again.
Tommy: Ha! Ha!
Aisha: I can not believe your back in the suit and fighting crime before bed time(Tommy laughs)
Adam: and decided on the Black Ranger
Jason: What's wrong Tommy….you couldn't find Green?(they laugh)
Tommy: Believe me I tried(sits by Aisha)but lets just say green wasn't offered and White was already taken.(smirks)The black Gem chose me.
Aisha: Isn't the white Ranger evil?….
Tommy: Yes!(sadly)he is! He is our biggest problem right now.
Trini: It's like history repeating it's self(Tommy nods a little)I hope you can save him
Tommy: Me too Tree!
Jason: So the gem chose you huh?(crosses his arms)
Tommy: Yeah(sighs)but not without some problems. I was stuck in my suit for like a week or longer.
Adam: You were stuck(laughs) in the suit?
Tommy: Yeah that was hell and a long story for another day.
Trini: So, you have been a Ranger for how long?
Tommy: over a month…..
Aisha: and when were you going to tell us Tommy?
Tommy: Oh, thanksgiving(they give him a look)I don't know! Soon I guess….I just had a lot of things that I needed to factor in when it comes to you guys.
Trini: like?
Tommy: Your protection. If they figure out that I still hang out with you guys and your still in AG. They will come for you. I'm working on something to protect you(They nod)I'm just really sorry that AJ saw me. I'm always careful with my surroundings(looks at Aisha and Adam)I didn't see her behind the car!
Aisha: Behind the car?(looks at Adam)I wonder what she was doing behind the car
Adam: I don't know(shrugs)that's your daughter
Aisha: Yes she is(glares)right down to her mouth(crosses her arms and turns away)
Adam:(annoyed)oh come on?
Aisha: Nope I didn't forget(Tommy gives them a look)and I'm not done with the discussion either(to Tommy)Anyways, Tommy its ok! We were going to tell her anyways. You just sped up the process
Tommy: How do you think she is going to take it?
Adam: Knowing AJ…she can keep a secret that's not a problem(Aisha nods in agreement)she will do anything to protect her mother….
Aisha: and father(turns to him and pushes him)even if he pisses her off(Adam glares at her and Aisha glares back)She'll do anything to keep all of us protected(stands up and looks at Tommy)That's the kind of kid that we have.
Jason: That's that second generation Ranger mind set
Aisha:(laughs)Yep! Tommy, I know you came for dinner(smirks)Are you still hungry?(walks into her kitchen and goes over to the microwave)
Tommy: Famished (Aisha nods and warms up the food)
Aisha: It'll be ready in a few(Tommy nods)
Tommy: Do you think she'll freak out about you two? You saw how she acted with just me.
Adam: mm!(Aisha and him look at each other)we really don't know(looks at him)
Tommy: Man, I feel horrible about this!
Trini: Tommy(touches his shoulder)it'll work itself out. Don't worry!(takes Aisha's spot)So(let's go)how do you like being a Ranger? How do you like the new team? What are they like?
Tommy: Well being a Ranger is harder this time around. You know I'm older….
Adam: I mean yeah who could miss that(Jason laughs)
Tommy: Funny!(gives him a look)Like I was saying I'm older and I'm over teenagers. I feel like I'm Zordon. I don't know how he did it!
Trini: What do you mean?
Tommy: I feel like a baby sitter sometimes. All they do is bicker
Trini: Different Generation!(Tommy nods with a chuckle)So, do they remind you of us….you know other than the small amount of bickering(looks at Aisha and Adam)
Aisha: Why did you look at us when you said that?(grabs the plate from the microwave and gives it to Tommy)here you go!
Tommy: It looks great! Thanks Sha!(she nods and grabs a fork)
Adam: Yeah Trini(crosses his arms) what were you trying to say?
Trini: Nothing at all(looks at Tommy who chuckles as Aisha gives him the fork)
Adam: Yes, my wife and I may disagree sometimes(Jason chuckles)(loudly)but that makes for a healthy relationship(looks at Aisha who winks)
Jason: and making up is much better and passionate huh?(Trini hits him)ow!
Aisha: At least you know! Keeps the marriage spicy(Tommy chokes on his food as he laughs. They laugh at him. Aisha walks over and sits on the other side of Tommy)
Jason: So, what are they like Oliver?
Tommy: Well the Blue Ranger Ethan! He is really smart like Billy. However, he is more into video games(they nod)Conner my red….I really worry about(pause)his brain. He might give bulk and skull a ran for their money(they laugh)but all jokes aside he is a wonderful leader.(they nod)and Kira my yellow….she's Aisha, Trini and Kim put together.
Trini: What do you mean by that?
Tommy: Well(puts his fork down)she is like Aisha because she takes nothing from the boys or anyone(Aisha gives him the thumbs up)she's like Trini she is humble and kind to everyone(Trini smiles)and she is like Kim because she keeps everything running and musically talented.
Aisha: Interesting….she sounds great. I can't wait to meet her!
Tommy: Wait meet?
Aisha: Yeah meet?
Jason: You don't expect to just tell us and not let us meet your new team.
Tommy: But if you come near us you'll be prone to danger.
Adam: Yeah! Yeah! You'll figure it out! Tommy you have a brand new Ranger Team. We can help you with them. We can pass down our knowledge.
Trini: Tommy! You know you need us(crosses her arms. Tommy looks between his friends)
Tommy: Alright! Ok(they smile)we'll set up a meeting sometime next week and after finals.
Aisha: Prefect! I can't wait to meet them
Jace: Mommy(everyone turns and sees Jace sit up sleepily)
Trini: Jacey(walks over and picks him up)Did you enjoy your nap baby boy?(he nods and Trini kisses him)good(walks over to them while moving his hair out of his face)
Jason: There is my son(takes him from Trini)hi champ(Jace lays on his shoulder)yeah your still sleepy!
Tommy: God!(they look at him) He's gotten big(Jace looks at Tommy)hey buddy!
Trini: Jacey(he sits up)(sweetly)do you remember uncle Tommy?(he nods "no")
Jason: Of course you do(throws him to Tommy who quickly catches him. Trini holds her chest)
Tommy: Jesus Jason!(they look at Jace who is laughing)
Trini: Have you lost your complete mind Jason Scott?
Jason: I knew he would catch him!(happily) He's Batman!
Jace: Batman?(happily)hi Batman(hugs him tightly and Tommy looks surprised and holds him)
Jason:(smiles)That's how my son gets comfortable with strangers and long lost relatives(Aisha giggles and Trini hits him)ow!(Jace pulls away from Tommy and gives him a kiss on the cheek. Tommy laughs and they hug again)Look he loves his Uncle Tommy BatMan (Adam chuckles. Trini now smiles at Tommy and Jace hugging)
