Lunar Love

Sky smiled at Bridge who was sat in the passenger seat of the Jeep. with all the problems of becoming a Ranger their plans to visit Turtle Cove had been long forgotten, so when Cruger had said the Ranger's where being sent on an errand there Sky was happy.

"So come on you two what's with the whole 'Cruger mentions Turtle Cove and suddenly your both excited' thing?" asked Jack from the back seat.

"Don't you listen in Ranger History Jack?" growled Sky

"not really I only paid attention the time your name was mentioned, by the way which one of your dad's is riding in front?" asked Jack confusedly since he'd never really met anyone other then Sky with gay parents.

Sky growled and sighed as he looked back at Jack though the mirror, he knew Jack meant no disrespect but the fact he had to ask that felt like disrespect to both his fathers.

"that's my Da Commander Eric Myers Quantum Ranger, my Dad was the Red Time Force Ranger Wesley Collins" sighed Sky again.

"Hey Sky"

"What Z?" growled Sky knowing what the next question was going to be.

"If your Da's Myers and your Dad was Collins………."

"why is my last name Tate?" sighed Sky again as Z nodded.

"Not that it's your business but my Dad lost the ability to have kid before I was born, he got sick. My Grandfather pioneered the DNA procedure that gave me both their DNA but they need a woman to carry me. My Mom was Gaia Tate a Silver Guardian under my Dad's command, she was great but when I was about a year old she was called out to active duty. Some creep in a warehouse, one of our first alien Newcomers.

He was selling weapons, my Mom was newly promoted to second in command behind my parents since my Dad was leaving the Guardians to raise me. My Dad's didn't see the bastard coming up behind them but Mom did she threw herself between the and him, she was dead before she hit the ground.

My parents always blamed themselves so I was given her last name legally after she died, Da always said that were ever she is she's kicking the hell out of my Dad for one upping her death" laughed Sky dryly as the Jeep fell silent.

"and to answer the first question Jack posed" said Bridge to brake the tention.

"Turtle Cove is a place were Sky and me used to spend our summers after Eric adopted me, it's the home of what's left of the Wild Force Rangers" said Bridge with a smile.

"hey Sky do you think if we finish this well we can show the guys how cool the Animarum is?" asked Bridge excitedly.

"Bridge Cruger sent us here for a reason" said Sky coolly as Bridge nodded.

"but if we finish it early I can't see Da saying no?" laughed Sky as Bridge beamed

"Plus it would be nice to see Merrick again, he's come home now after…" Sky stopped talking and sighed

"who's Merrick and after what?" asked Jack

"Merick was the Lunar Wolf Ranger, during his time as a Ranger he and Cole Evens their Red Ranger got involved with each other. After the last battle Merick went travelling and Cole remained in Turtle Cove, he come home for short periods usual when my Da would visit.

three years ago one of Master Orgs Generals one that had survived Master Orgs wrath and the end battle turned up, the battle was bad and by the time word reached Merrick and he returned Alyssa and Max had died from the injures they sustained.

Taylor and Danny were too injured to fight so Merrick and Cole fought together, Cole sacrificed himself to save everyone but it destroyed Merrick. He only talks to Da, me or Bridge anymore he's given up on the world now" sighed Sky as they pulled into the Turtle Cove Sliver Guardian HQ.

Bridge started to bounced around in his seat as they all spotted a stranger lent back against the wall, as they parked up Bridge leapt out and raced over to the stranger who hugged him.

"Skyler Tate as I live and breath where's that old fart of a Da of yours?" laughed the stranger as Sky hugged him.

"Merrick nice to see you up and around" said Sky with a smiled as Merrick looked him up and down.

"Living loud and proud in blue I see and you in green Bridge" said Merrick who still had Bridge clinging to him.

"Hey some of us have jobs to do you know?" laughed Eric as he came over and hugged Merrick, they forgot Merrick still had his arm round Bridge suddenly Bridge got a feeling of something that made him smile.

Suddenly the sound of someone clearing their throat brought them back to earth, Eric shorted himself out as the other Rangers watched them.

"Merrick Baliton Lunar Wolf Ranger these are SPD Rangers, Jack Landors, Elizabeth "Z" Delgado and Sydney "Syd" Drew" said Eric as the Rangers leapt into a salute.

"Nice to meet you all, so these are my trainees for the day?" asked Merrick as Eric nodded.

"When did you become a Guardian Commander?" asked Sky as he got over the shock.

"When I came back this one suggested it?" laughed Merrick as he pointed to Eric who was smirking from over Merrick's shoulder.

Bridge watched them and smiled as Sky looked at him and mouthed 'what?' as Bridge just smiled and mouthed back 'later' before going back to his thoughts.

Later that evening Sky and Bridge laughed to themselves as they arrived on the Animarium and watched their faces, Princess Shayla joined them as Eric and Merrick disappeared making Bridge grin. Sky saw the look on his lovers face and went over to join him, Sky sat down and pulled Bridge into his arms.

"So?"

"So what?"

"So how come every time I see you looking at Da and Merrick your smiling like you know something?" asked Sky as Bridge smirked and looked up at him.

"Your Da's in love" said Bridge as Sky looked at him

"WWw…How?" asked Sky shocked as Bridge wiggled his fingers.

"Who with?" asked Sky as Bridge looked off to where Eric and Merrick had disappeared to.

"Merrick?" asked Sky as Bridge nodded

"Wow I didn't see that coming are you sure?" asked Sky

"Yeah when he hugged Merrick I felt their feeling since Merrick still had hold of me. Are you upset?" asked Bridge as he looked at Sky

"No not really Dads been gone over ten years now, I'm happy Da's moving on and Merrick's a great guy" said Sky as Bridge cuddled up to him. He felt Sky love for him wash over him in waves but also in the background he could feel the new feeling that Merrick and Eric felt for each other.

The next morning Sky was up early and smiled as he watched Eric and Merick who were stood hand in hand watching the Sunrise, Merick's head was resting on Eric's shoulder. Sky smiled as he walked over to join them he could hear what they we're saying.

"Cole once said 'he would sacrifice his life for his friends' " sighed Merrick as Eric looked at him.

"Yeah Wes said the same thing too and later added for me and Sky" said Eric as he stroked Merrick's cheek

"He's a good kid Eric you should be proud of him?" said Merrick

"Yeah but I'm not sure he's ready to know about us? He's still hot headed…I know I got that from me? But he still idolizes Wes I can't lose him but I wont give up on you ether" said Eric as he lent in and kissed Merrick.

Sky cleared his throat as Eric and Merrick pulled apart and looked very nervous, Merrick went to leave but Sky stopped him.

"Yes I idolize my Dad but my Da can't mourn forever, you ether Merrick both Cole and my Dad would never have wanted that. Be thankful you had them for what little time it was but don't hold onto their loss forever or it'll kill you" said Sky with a smile as Eric blushed and laughed.

"Your quoting Bridge Sky should I be worried?" asked Eric

"I don't like toast, my minds not that packed and I still don't babble" said Sky pulling tongues at his Da to prove a point.

"I'm happy for you both" said Sky as he left

"We should have known that Bridge would tell him?" said Merrick as he walked over and kissed Eric.

"at least it's out in the open now" said Eric as he hugged Merrick and retuned the kiss.

"Now all I need is for him to relax round his team mates and I'd rest happy?" sighed Eric as Merrick just shook his head.

00000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000000

Sky rejoined the others as they were eating breakfast, Bridge smiled at him as Sky just said 'thing are sorted' to Bridge who nodded and wentback to eating.

Merrick and Eric joined them and they swapped stories of their times as Rangers, both Eric and Merrick offered advice to the new Rangers. Later on as they were packing up to leave Eric and Merrick joined them.

"Cruger sent us here to talk to you about being Ranger's didn't he?" asked Jack as Eric laughed and nodded.

"He thought that talking to two Rangers who lived outside of their own teams, might show you that even the most stubborn of us can learn to work together?" said Merrick with a smile as he and Eric went to leave.

"You not coming back with us Commander Myers?" asked Jack

"No I have some things to deal with down here first" said Eric as Sky smiled as he got the meaning behind his words.

They jumped into the Jeep and took off back towards New Tec City, Sky couldn't shake the happy feeling as he thought about his Da and Merrick and his own life with Bridge.
