Author Note: Some of my favorite couples are introduced, hope you like.
The next two days would have many surprises, as well as incoming guests that would be arriving for the holiday party of the year. The busy desks were filled with many people checking with their families. Some, to say for the most part, were many of the Inn's prospective guests.
Tommy and Jason waited in the lobby as they saw many flocks of people piling into the hotel. The two hoped no one had lost their way in finding the place, or the Inn. It was mid-morning as they waited. The two began talking about who their wives invited.
"Can you believe our wives?" Jason said as he laughed as he flipped through the magazine's pages. The magazine entailed ideas for the perfect holiday getaway, the perfect holiday party plans, etc. He laughed slightly as he read the article. "They certainly did a fine job with planning it."
"Seriously bro, who would've thought Kim, would be such an event planner," his friend laughed as he sipped his hot chocolate. The two laughed as several people started entering into the Inn.
"That's my wife, got to love her sense of events."
The sounds of chatter came from the receptionist's desk as guests began to arrive. Jason turned around as he nudged his friend in noting who was coming in. The two got up as they saw who was all arriving. Their eyes began to light up as they greeted many friends who they haven't seen in several years.
Kimberly and Katherine were outside. The two women were squealing with delight as they saw their friends arriving. As for their children, all of them never realized how big their parents' family was, until they found who was in it.
The first car that arrived was the Myers' clan. The burgundy car pulled up as the sight of a tall, husky man exited out of the car. The two women looked at each other as they wondered who it was as they saw his grim smile.
"My, my, look at these fine women. Say, ladies, do you know where I can find two of Angel Grove's finest be?" the tall, muscular gent said in reply, smiling.
"Eric, a little help please," a familiar voice said as she sighed, carrying a suitcase and a baby car seat. Kim and Kat laughed as they helped the young woman. The three shook their head, helping with the baby car seat. "Forgive my husband; he's been such a flirt lately."
"It's alright Taylor, I'm sure Eric's only joking," Katherine said with a smirk, still shaking her head.
"Who said I was?" Eric said with a smile, kissing his friends' wives on the cheek.
"ERIC!"
The four laughed as Jason and Tommy greeted several others at the desk. Rocky and Aisha were checking in, as well as the Cranstons, the Tates, and the Taylors. Everyone was greeting and having a hugging frenzy, reuniting with many of those whom they haven't seen in years or for the first time.
It had been an eventful year for all of them. Billy and Trini moved across the country to New Jersey, (preferably, Edison) where Billy's pharmaceutical companyCranston Industries topped off the 2007 year as 'The Biggest Breakthrough in History,' providing Billy with a honorary award, whereas Trini became a pre-school teacher, teaching children within the local area.
The Tates – Skylar and Syd (better known as Sky and Syd to many), made their home in Groveston, California, which was an hour away from Angel Grove, two while driving to Reefside. The two have been busy keeping in touch with the SPD gang, as well as enjoying their lives together. Sky recently proposed to his girlfriend, now fiancée last Christmas and was still planning their spring wedding.
The Taylors, Zack and Angela resided in Indiana. After Zack's eventful return, he graduated high school and college, where later he opened up his first dance academy Dance to the Beat. Eventually, he later found Angela again. The two dated on and off for several years, then later were in a close relationship, allowing the two to move in together.
Rocky and Aisha were known as 'the power couple of strength through and through.' After several years of having his karate school open, Rocky decided to go back to school. He later majored in advertising and business in Philadelphia, which to some would've though he would be going to culinary school or opening his own restaurant. On the other hand, Aisha's return home was a happy one. After receiving her doctorate in internal medicine, she began her first practice a few hours away from the city. Within a few months into her practice, the two were reintroduced to each other by mutual friends, who never thought the two knew each other from another friend – Adam Park. During the intervening time, the two are dating each other again with likes of many future plans.
The little group of five circled around their parents' friend as they all heard laughter and curiosity of who was who. Devon remembered a little of Eric, so did Miley. The two were toddlers when they were introduced. Now, they were formerly introduced.
"Girl, the last time you told me about Miley, she was this small," Aisha said as she squatted down to meet them. The oldest of the Olivers smiled as they looked over at her. Their first initial reaction was uncertain, but they gave her and Rocky a hug. "Course, they have their mother's smile and father's grin."
"You can say that again, Ish," her friend smiled, as she allowed the two to hug her friend. Hannah grasped Kim's shoulder as her older sisters met the extended family.
"They've got to so big," Trini and Taylor gushed, looking at the two girls. Taylor and Eric's infant son Cameron slept softly, dreaming away. His little body wrapped tightly with a blanket from the winter's cold kept him snug.
"Now, who's this little guy?" Zack asked as he looked over at Devon. Jared shyly hid behind his mother's legs as he saw someone unfamiliar to him. He stuck out his hand as he received a handshake, and then a hug.
"That's Devon, our youngest and this little guy behind me is Jared," Kat formerly introduced her two boys. The two boys smirked as they were told to give their uncle a hug. The two were in red and black fleece hooded sweatshirts with grey sweats. Jason watched as he saw his boys bond. "And most importantly, you have another one on the way."
The gang laughed as Kat's little belly showed through her jacket. It was still determined whether or not she'd be expecting a boy or a girl, but like any mother, she beamed with delight.
"How's Philly treating you Rocky?" Jason asked his predecessor and former teammate. Rocky explained things were pretty hectic. He was now in his third year of graduate school and still had exams, as well as papers write – which to him, kept him very occupied. "Sky and Syd, what about the two of you?"
"We're…" the two laughed as they spoke in unison.
"You go first," Syd laughed as she hid her rosy cheeks, while hiding her smile.
"No, I insist Syd. You should tell them," Sky playfully fought back.
Syd took a deep breath as she tried to hide her emotions. Sky laughed a little as she rubbed his fiancée's arms. The two looked at each other before breaking the news. Everyone waited as they were told the news.
A sudden gasp from the girls as they figured it out, but as for the guys, their eyes widened as they shook the young former SPD ranger's hand in congratulations. The rest embraced as they were happy for the newest member arriving.
"How far along?" Taylor asked as she saw Syd's face, continuously beaming with joy.
"Four months," the young blue-eyed girl, replied as tears stung her eyes.
"So many babies!" Destiny giggled as she heard that there were more little friends arriving. Miley nodded as she hugged her little sister. Jared and Devon crinkled their noses as the news rang out.
"Hey, a little help please," a voice said in a joking manner, from the desk.
"T.J., Cassie – so glad you guys could finally make it," Tommy said as he raced over, greeting the red ranger and his wife. The two nodded as they greeted their friend. Cassie smiled as she greeted her husband's friend. "Are Andros and Ashley coming?"
Cassie nodded as sounds of two people arguing came into the Inn. Ashley carried her things in as Andros carried his own luggage. The two checked in, trying to be pleasant.
"Remind me not to share a bedroom with you," she scowled.
"It'll be my pleasure to have a room to myself. Remind me why I married you," he hollered back.
"Please."
"They've been like this since we left Stone Canyon," Cassie whispered to Tommy. Ashley and Andros, the infamous couple of K-O35 were going through a lot this holiday season. Everything from an adjustment of jobs to stressors of keeping a galaxy in tune, which wasn't a fun task, but somebody, was to do it.
"All morning it's an 'I love you' or 'I hate you' frenzy," T.J. noted as he signed the papers for the Inn's bedroom. Tommy nodded as he greeted the couple.
"Hey guys, happy holidays," the former ranger said as he shook hands with Andros, providing a hug to Ashley in comfort.
"Likewise Tommy, hope things are going well on your end," his friend sighed.
"They are. Ashley, how are things with you?"
"Peachy."
Ashley rolled her eyes as she walked over to Cassie as the two linked arms and met up with the other ranger women. Tommy patted his friend on the shoulder as he looked on. It was all of a matter of time that things would be better for the two.
What's Ashley's problem? Find out next time.
