Chapter 7- Gemma's Gentleman

Excalibur Hotel & Casino

(Flashback)

Growing up, I didn't know anything about my family. Gem's the only one that's been there for me. He's my brother and filled in when I needed a parent. I'm sure the same thing can be said about me. I think about our parents from time to time, I mean, our 'booming' personalities had to come from somewhere. When we were in Alphabet Soup, I found a friend in Dr. K. Although, I believe she hated how Gem and I would finish each other's sentences.

"What are your names?" Dr. K's soothing voice asked us.

"My name is Gem, and this is-" Gem began.

"my sister, Gemma." I finished for him.

Dr. K looked at us. She didn't question why we did that. K is very smart, I'm sure she could tell you the history of Fraternal Twins. It is fascinating.

"How old are you two?" K questioned.

We were stumped to say the least. The last memory we had was being dropped off at this compound.

"We can't answer that-" Gem answered.

"as we aren't sure ourselves." I completed his thought.

"I'm older by-" Gem offered.

"five minutes, though I beg to differ." I ended, and I denounced his claim.

"She could be older, though, I don't think-" Gem continued.

"so, because I could be the older one since I'm-" I said.

"male." Gem ended.

For K, it was frustrating trying to understand what the hell we were talking about. It's not our faults. By the way, I don't know which one of us is the older one. I do believe we are five minutes apart though. The number 5 constantly flashes through our mind. Gem may think he's older because he got to operate Ranger Series 7. I told him he had to, as Ranger Series 8 had a skirt. Though he doesn't mind wearing the Mia's Samurai suit.

Even though, K didn't like us because of our upbeat personality; we gave her a birthday cake. At first, she was hesitant to take it. She had never received a present on her birthday, actually, she had never celebrated a birthday. She said since the age of 5, she had been in Alphabet Soup. Maybe that's why she's socially inept and awkward. I still didn't mind her though. She was the first female, I've encountered and liked.

When K told us that we aren't hypersensitive to sunlight, we were shocked to say the least. The reason we thought to live in that compound was because we couldn't be around the rays of the sun. We listened to her though. My brother and I do have a high IQ, but hers is far higher than ours.

When K unleashed the Venjix Virus, and the security guards tried to stop all of us from escaping; Gem and I sprang into action. Unfortunately, K wasn't able to put the firewall up. That's why the attacks started to spread. Eventually, we escaped, but Gem and I needed to head back for the ranger suits.

"Take these-" I began.

"Ribbons." Gem completed. We handed them to K. She nodded, and she knew we were crazy for running back to Alphabet Soup.

We ran off to the compound. Obviously, we attained the suits and quickly ran off. We watched the building combust. It was a big "Boom! Kaboom! Bang! Explosion! Pew pew poo poo Brrrr Boom!"

For the year, Gem and I traveled. Finally, we came to the domed, Corinth City. There we made a shelter for ourselves and gathered food. K was always on our minds. We missed her dearly, and I came to a conclusion. She's like a sister I've never had., and we needed to help the rangers. We noticed the attacks on the Corinth were getting out of hand. There were 5 rangers, but we are as capable of helping them. I became the Silver ranger. I don't think there's been a female Silver ranger, as there has been: Ryan, Merrick, Sam, well I guess Nova, can be counted as a Silver Ranger, but she's from the future the far away future like 2040, and Tyzonn. Therefore, I am still the first female operator of Silver!

"We need to help the rangers." I said.

Gem nodded. "LET'S GO NOW! Whoo!"

Our zords were operated into Omega City, first. The rangers were battling Venjix's army. We furiously attacked the army. We accomplished quite a bit. Of course, we left very quickly. Both of us were hungry. In the quarry, the rangers needed help against the Dyno-Bot, so we did what we could. We used our weapons and defeated the monster, in a flash. The monster went kaboom!

The rangers had no way to get out of Omega City, so we gave them a lift. They asked questions, but our mission was to get back to Dr. K. She's the one that's behind the ranger stuff. As she was able to tap into the morphing grid, and she also made the damn Venjix Virus herself, so we needed to see her. We needed to make up a plan to stop the virus. Yes, my brother and I kind of disregarded the other rangers. There were a couple of reasons why. One, my brother and I liked working together. Two, we felt our skills were far more proficient than theirs.

Anxiously, we waited to see Dr. K. We really missed her. When we arrived to their base, and Ziggy gave us the 411. Dr. K was still cold and indifferent, but she had her reasons. As soon as she came through the door, we demorphed. Her tears were her first real sign of emotion. Even I had tears welling in my eyes at the sight of her. She thought we were dead, and I know the other rangers felt stumped as to why or how Dr. K knew us.

We brought out a different side of Dr. K. Poor Ziggy never had a chance with her, at first. She found him to be annoying and rather odd. I had a conversation with her.

"Why don't you like, Ziggy?" I asked her.

Dr. K had been typing on the computer. She faltered a bit at my question. "What are you trying to imply?"

"I had no clue I was implying anything." That's when I got the hint that she had feelings for him. However, her awkwardness prevented her from displaying any type of affection. She needed Ziggy though. He would be the only one to balance her out perfectly. "Is there a reason why you asked that?"

"No." She continued typing. She sighed. "What about you and Flynn?"

I smiled. "He's sweet." I thought more about the Scottish man. "Laid back, which is the opposite of me." I shot at a tool that was on the floor. "Kaboom!"

A few minutes later, Ranger Blue walked in. He looked at the floor. "Ahh!" Flynn screamed. I looked at him. "That was my favorite tool!" His wrench was burnt to a crisp. I tried to hide my laughter. I think Dr. K tried to hide hers too. "Who did this?"

"Gem!" I abruptly answered.

"Gem!" Flynn growled.

My brother came from the back. "What?"

"You did this." Ranger Blue held up his burnt tool.

"No." Gem furrowed his brows. He looked at me. "Did you do-"

"This?" I pointed at the tool. I shook my head.

"1…. 2…. 3… run!" Flynn chased after Gem. It was funny as soon as they got outside of the garage, Gem started to blow things up around Flynn. Flynn ran for his life, so Gem started to chase him.

Summer, Scott, Dillon, and Ziggy came from the back. They watched the chase ensuing.

"What happened?" Summer asked.

"Flynn's tool was burnt to a crisp." Dr. K informed.

Scott was confused. "Then why is Gem making things go boom around Flynn?"

"Who knows?" I shrugged my shoulders. To this day, Dr. K and I haven't revealed that I was the one who destroyed Flynn's favorite tool.

I don't know how, but Flynn got a hold of my diary and read the contents. After reading it, he felt I belittled him by calling him a simple mechanic. Dr. K got on his case about using the jumper cables for the Megazords. She specifically told him not to use it, but he hadn't listened. After that, Flynn started to throw away all of his inventions he had been working on. One of them I was interested in. Together, Flynn and I worked on it. There is more to him that I hadn't realized. He's not so simple, he's a little bit more intricate. I liked working with Flynn. I found he's really sweet, caring, nice, and I liked spending time with him. Flynn, Ranger Blue, is definitely the most fascinating person on the team. I closed my awesome diary. Also, I like that he's a gentleman, for the most part.

He asked to work on another project, and I quickly agreed, but Gem had to step in. After I said my goodnight to Flynn, I had a talk with Gem.

"What was that-?" I was going to finish, but my brother interrupted me.

"About?"

I nodded. "What's wrong if he asked for my help with something."

He sighed. "You don't get-"

"It?" He nodded. "Tell me."

"I don't like him getting close to you."

"Why?"

He went to lie down. "You are my sister, and I don't want-"

"him taking your place?"

He nodded.

"Gem, you are my brother. My twin brother, and there is nothing that can break our bond. You are my only family. You've been there longer than anyone else. He was just asking for me to work with him."

"I should kick his ass."

"What?" I started to get protective of Flynn. "You can't really mean that!"

"You like him." He smirked.

"I care for him as a friend. There's a difference."

"You like him like-"

"every Asian girl loves Hello Kitty." I finished. I hated how he always used that against me. "Good night." I went to lie down. Part of me contemplated what my brother said. I believe Flynn liked me, but wouldn't admit it because of my dear brother.

I have to admit, my time as a ranger, I encountered very colorful human beings. Dillon and Tenaya's brother and sister relationship, is very different than mine and Gem's. Tenaya was taken and turned into an evil robot. Dillon had been searching for her since he could remember. His amnesia would get in the way. A lot of the time, Dillon would be defiant. The only person that could calm him down was Summer. She talked to me about it.

"I really want to help Dillon." She said.

I smiled. "I know that."

"Really, I do." She sat down on a chair.

"I thought you had a crush on Scott."

"I did, but that's before I met Dillon."

"So, what's next between you and Dillon then?"

"What's next between you and Flynn?"

I blushed, and then I changed the subject. "What about Dr. K and Ziggy?"

"I think she's trying to hide her feelings."

"She's not the only one." I referenced her and myself.

"Do you think his sister gets hot headed like him?" Summer questioned. At that time, we hadn't realized that Tenaya and Dillon were related.

I shrugged. "I wouldn't put it pass them though. Don't worry, we will help to find his sister."

A few months later, we had our final battle. It was a bittersweet one, and there was a lot riding on it. Thankfully, everyone was safe. Once we gave Dr. K back our morphers, her and Ziggy started to date. Flynn and I kept talking. A relationship hadn't formed. Summer left with Dillon, and his sister, Tenaya. My brother and I worked with Scott and Col. Truman.

After a year, Summer, Tenaya, and Dillon came back. I saw a certain ring on Summer's left hand. Tenaya and Scott even began talking. The former yellow and I decided to work with Ziggy and Dr. K.

When Scott left to follow the Professor Cog, we became worried. We wanted to take up the power again, but we weren't sure if he needed us. Scott is pretty stubborn, and he demanded we stayed behind, just in case evil happened to infiltrate Corinth again. The Samurai rangers came to us. I heard the talk between Flynn and Mia.

"You don't have a crush on me anymore?" I asked him.

"What are you talking about?" His accent became more pronounced.

"I saw you trying to pick up on Mia!" I blatantly told him.

The portal for the Samurai rangers opened up. We said our goodbyes, and told them to tell Scott we say hi. They left after that.

Flynn chuckled. "Nice to see how jealous you can get."

I glared at him. He grabbed my face and kissed me. Summer, Ziggy, Dr. K, Tenaya and Dillon howled and whistled for us. Gem broke the two of us up.

"You can't go around kissing my sister!" Gem intervened. He looked between Flynn and I.

I got really embarrassed. "Gem!" I hissed.

"Is it okay if I kiss your sister?" Flynn gave him his best puppy dog face.

Gem couldn't deny it. He just nodded.

I smiled, and Flynn kissed me again. I pulled back. "Thank goodness." I sighed. "Otherwise, I would've gone on a date with Scott."

Flynn just nodded. Then he thought about it. "You and Scott?" He contorted his face into a disgusted expression. I nodded. "Remind me to kill him." That's my boyfriend. I have to laugh, he's what every gentleman should be… didn't you hear the sarcasm dripping in my voice! Boom!

The beginning of my life to now, it's changed for obvious reasons. I'm still the hyper girl, but I found reclusiveness being with Flynn. Gem, Dr. K, and I are still close, but we allow other people to be in our little bubble, as I like to call it. Sometimes, I wonder if things were different. If we weren't sent to the compound, would our parents still be there for us? Would the Venjix Virus have never been administered? I wouldn't know. To be honest, it wouldn't have made my life as interesting as it is now.

I-have-a-question. Where is my gentleman?

(End Flashback)

Gemma snapped out of it. The former RPM, Silver ranger grabbed her cell phone from her bag. She needed to hear Flynn's voice. She kept smiling. Then she looked for Alyssa, and saw her playing the slots. The former Wild Force ranger had a Mai Tai in hand. That sounded good to Gemma. She was about to call Flynn, when she was interrupted.

"Excuse me." A man said.

Gemma looked at the man. He was a fairly attractive male, 5'10", green eyes, black hair. He had pasty skin, and dressed okay. "Yes?"

"Are you a magnet?"

"What?" Gemma furrowed her brows.

"Because I am attracted to you." He finished.

She rolled her eyes. That really annoyed her. "Um, okay. I gotta go! Bye! Whoo!" Gemma flew out of her chair to Alyssa. The guy followed her. "Alyssa!"

"What?" Alyssa heard her name, but she was busy with the bonus game on the slots.

Gemma looked behind her. "Seriously, can you get away from me!"

"I just want to talk." The guy said.

"I have a boyfriend!" Gemma finally got to Alyssa.

Alyssa had just finished and cashed out. She looked between Gemma and this random guy. An eyebrow rose. "Who's this?"

Two more guys came. "Whoa. Damn dude you got two hot chicks!" A rather gawky guy said. "I'm Russell, that's Chris." He pointed to the one who went after Gemma. "And this is our friend, Albert."

"Hi." Alyssa got up. She felt rather uncomfortable. "Well bye." The former White grabbed the former Silver's arm.

"Why do you have to leave?" Albert quickly interjected. He looked between the two ladies. He felt he hit the jackpot. Which left Alyssa and Gemma completely annoyed.

Alyssa noted Gemma's hand starting to gather silver energy. She grabbed for it. "Well, you know us, we gotta go!" She nervously laughed while glaring at Gemma.

"Yeah. You know us! Whoo! Boom! Boom!" Gemma rambled. She was beginning to feel grossed out by these guys.

The guys were getting confused with Gemma's lingo. However, they weren't deterred.

"We can buy you something to drink." Russell offered.

"That's okay, I believe we can handle it." Alyssa kindly said. She smiled, and she walked off with Gemma.

The men followed. "Are you sure? We can all go out to eat or something. Maybe shopping?" Chris added.

"No!" Gemma yelled again. Silver energy kept whirling on her fingers.

Alyssa called Karone. "Meet us by the bar. Near the front."

"I'll be there. Is there something going on?"

"Three maniacs."

"Gotcha! Bye."

Gemma and Alyssa turned to them.

"Listen, this has been fun, but we really need to go." Alyssa gently let them down… for the second time.

"Are you chicken?" Albert asked.

Gemma and Alyssa looked at each other. Why would they be chicken? First of all, they don't want to be surrounded by psychos. Second of all, they've piloted Zords, fought monsters, and foot soldiers. Third, they've held weapons that could blast these guys to a different dimension. Fourth, they have superhuman powers that could be used. Are they chicken? You answer that.

"No. We aren't" Gemma scoffed. She really was going to shoot at these guys.

Karone came over to them.

Russell whistled. "Looks like they got one for me."

"What are you talking about?" Karone placed her hands on her hips. Any minute, she would use her powers against them. "Listen, dudes." She sarcastically muttered. "My friends and I are going to meet up with our other friends, so leave them alone."

"Feisty, I like it." Albert said.

"Didn't you get the hint? You idiot!" Gemma sneered.

"Who are you calling an idiot? Babe…." Chris asked.

Alyssa rolled her eyes. "This is getting really stupid." She said. "Why don't you find three other women to talk to?"

Russell grabbed her arm. "Come on, we can have some fun." He tried to get her to go with him. Alyssa smacked his arm off of her. "OW!" He rubbed his arm. "What the hell?"

"Didn't your Mama ever tell you to respect women?" The former Wild Force ranger glared daggers at him.

"Looks like chica thinks she can be a fighter, eh." Albert taunted at her. "Don't you know the man rules."

"Funny, my husband begs to differ." Karone shot back.

The security guard came. "Is there a problem here?"

"No officer, everything is just fine." Albert informed. He tried to get the security guard away.

Gemma just looked at the guys. "Officer-" She looked at his uniform. "Officer Carter, it's okay, we were just leaving." Gemma motioned for the girls, and they went to look for Syd and Kelsey. Gemma looked at her friends. "That was a confrontation 10 minutes way too long."

Alyssa looked at the guys, they were with Officer Carter. She felt like they wouldn't do anything stupid. "No kidding." Alyssa smiled at her ticket. "$75.61…. Drinks?"

"Drinks." Gemma and Karone chorused. They left to the bar.

Gemma's phone rang. "Hello?" All she heard was heavy breathing. "Hello?"

"Gemma! Oh my gosh, I've been running for the past 20 minutes." Gem informed.

"What happened?"

"I was helping Mentor Ji work on his motorcycle, and then I kind of, blew off the back wheel."

"How the hell did you do that?"

"I don't know, I was paying attention, and then boom! It happened."

"Call Flynn. Maybe him and Scott could help you." Gemma advised. Then she thought about it. "Where is Mentor Ji?"

"Back at the Shiba House. I ran for my life after that."

Gemma shook her head. "You better go back there, and tell him you are going to fix it." She heard Gem's name being called. "Ooh, you are in so much trouble."

"Shut up!" Gem snapped.

"Bye big brother!" Gemma quickly hung up.

Karone looked at Gemma. "Who was that?"

"My brother. He blew off the back wheel of Mentor Ji's motorcycle."

"Ouch. From what Mia and Emily have said, Mentor is pretty laidback, for the most part. However, he hated when Scott took the bike twice. Gem must be shitting in his pants."

Karone was texting Syd to meet them at the bar. "No kidding."

The bartender came over. "What can I get you ladies?"

"Strawberry Margarita." Karone answered.

"Bud Light." Gemma replied.

"Heineken, and five shots of vodka." Alyssa said. She knew Syd and Kelsey were making their way over.

"You got it." The bartender left to make the drinks.

"Let me guess, Cole's favorite beer is Heineken?" Gemma asked.

Alyssa thought about her husband. "Yeah, it's his favorite." She missed him a lot.

Syd and Kelsey made their way over. They motioned for a Corona with lime. The bartender got it.

"So, what did we miss?" Kelsey questioned as she sat down.

"Three crazy idiots." Karone said. She shook her head thinking about the douche bags.

Syd laughed. "Good thing we weren't here."

"Here you go ladies." The bartender placed their drinks and shot glasses down. Alyssa paid and gave him a tip.

Her friends thanked her for the drinks. They held up their shot glasses.

"To no more craziness." Syd toasted.

"Not going to happen." Kelsey retorted. She had been thinking of the talk she needed to have with her sister-in-law.

"God Bless America." Gemma saluted. She saw the Military Men pass by.

"I'll drink to that." Karone agreed. The women took their shot. "Bartender!" She motioned for her empty shot glass. He nodded and poured another round. The former evil villainess paid for the round. They held up their shot glasses again. "To Gem, hopefully, you won't get in trouble for blowing up a tire."

Syd and Kelsey were informed of the incident. They giggled and drank to that toast.

"iWONDER what the rest ofthewomen are doing?" Gemma asked. She chased her shots with a swig of beer.

"Pace yourself." Kelsey mock scolded. She smiled at Gemma. The former Silver ranger's speech would get faster after drinking.

The women spent the rest of their time and drinking.
