Chapter 7:
Two months later...
Cornelia's POV
Well, it's June and school's out. Summer time is here! A lot has happened in the last two months. First of all, my parents came back about a week after I called them and told them what was going on. Turns out that they were finally able to settle any and all arguments about who got what from Great Uncle Tim. Once that was settled, they came home as fast as they could. Lillian, of course was glad to see them. I was, too. But part of me was enjoying staying with Angelo and his uncle. Granted me and Angelo never slept together. He let me have his bedroom, while he slept on the sofa bed in his Living Room. I guess it was the fact that we were so close that made it all the better.
Anyway, when it comes to Billy, like Leon said, she confessed to beating on me and Lillian to avoid a trial. So, the judge sentenced her to a lot therapy. Not to mention progress reports on how she's doing. Leon, took Billy back to her family, who got her into a program, and has been sending the courts progress reports on how Billy has been doing. From what Mrs. Cook tell me, Billy is making some progress.
As for Leon, me and my family get postcards and letters from him as he travels here, there, and everywhere. He says it's his way of trying to move on from Billy. He's not sure if he'll try and work things out with her or not. He says that he writes her every once in a while, so it's a toss up. To be honest, I don't know what to think. I know they say that everyone deserves a second chance, but after all that has happened, trust is the major issue. I guess only time will tell.
As for me, personally, well Cassidy brought me to Kandrakar a few weeks ago, with help from Blunk and his Tonga Tooth. Once there, I spoke to Halinor, who told me about what she went through with her aunt and how she ended up in the hospital. That was an eye opener! Believe me! I was surprised and upset that Kandrakar knew what was going on but did nothing to help. But then Halinor explained why they didn't step in. And I hate to admit it, but she was right. There are some things that our powers can't handle all the time. That's when you turn to those that can help you. In my case it was Angelo, his uncle, Mr. Lair, and Mrs. Cook. I could of turned to the girls but I think that we would of done what C.H.Y.K.N. did for Halinor. And if we did that, then me and Lillian could of ended up in the hospital. Or worse! So, when I finally talked to the girls about it all, we all agreed that if something like this were to ever happen to any of us again, we'd go to someone that can help. I only wish I didn't have to learn this lesson the hard way. Believe me it wasn't something I wanted to go through. And I hope me or Lillian never have to go through it again.
Right now, I just got off the bus and am heading to the Silver Dragon to meet up with the others there. I just got my licence! Between my parents and Angelo helping me and putting up with my slow driving for fear of hitting somebody, I finally earned that little card. I can't wait to show it to the others!
Normal POV
"So, any idea why Corny had us all come here?", Irma questioned as she and Martin were sharing a plate of egg rolls.
"I have no idea.", Taranee said. "All she said was that it was important."
"That's what she told me.", Angelo said. "I offered to pick her up and bring her here, but she said she wanted to take the bus instead.", he said getting a gasp from the girls. "Yeah. I know. I was just as surprised."
"Okay. Now my intrest is peaked.", Will said.
"Me, too.", Elyon said.
Just then Cornelia entered the resturant and walked towards the others, who were waiting for her.
"Hey, guys!", Cornelia said as she sat next to Angelo.
"And where have you been?", Irma asked.
"Yeah!", Hay Lin said. "What's so important that you had us all come here."
"This is!", Cornelia said as she whipped out her licence for them all to see. "I got my licence!", she said in a sing-song voice.
"Oh snap!", Angelo said as he wrapped an arm around Cornelia. "I knew you could do it, Baby!"
"When did you get it?", Elyon asked.
"Yesterday.", Cornelia said as she put it back in her purse. "And some of you thought that I'd never get them."
"Now, now.", Irma said with a smug grin. "I said that you wouldn't get yours before I did."
"Well, I'm man enough to admit when I'm wrong.", Matt said.
"Same here.", Nigel said with a grin.
"Well, I say we get something to eat and celebrate Cornelia getting her licence.", Elyon said.
"Here, here!", Irma said.
"But you just ate, Irma.", Eric said.
"Yeah.", Irma said. "So?"
"Where do you put it?", Caleb asked getting a laugh out of the others.
"I don't think I want to know.", Will said. "Martin. I feel sorry for you and your wallet.", she said earning more laughter from the others.
"She's worth every penny.", Martin said earning a kiss from Irma as well as a few 'awww's' from the girls.
"So, after we eat here, you want to go to the movies?", Angelo asked Cornelia.
"Sure.", Cornelia said. "And maybe... I can... drive us there?", she said hoping her boyfriend would say yes.
"Maybe.", Angelo said with a smrik. "We'll just have to wait and see."
Cornelia then gave Angelo a kiss that he returned.
"That just improved your chances.", Angelo said with a smile making Cornelia smile with a light blush.
"I know I've said this before, but thanks for being there for me when I needed you.", Cornelia said.
"Couple or not, Cornelia, I'll do my best to be there for you.", Angelo said making Cornelai smile a bit more before they shared a kiss.
"Get a room you two!", Elyon joked getting a laugh from the others.
"Actually, we can.", Angelo said pointing to the apartment building he lived in, across the street. "So, don't tempt us.", he said getting a few 'oooohhhs' from some of the guys and girls.
"Oh brother.", Elyon said while rolling her eyes playfully.
"So, how's Lillian doing.", Matt asked.
"She's doing okay.", Cornelia replied. "She's doing a play next week. Which she wants you to come to.", she said to Angelo.
"Oh, I know.", Angelo said with a grin. "She told me about it the other day. And if nothing comes up, I'll be there."
Just then, John Vanders entered the resturant and walked up to the group.
"How's it going, kids", John asked with a smile.
"Pretty good, Uncle John.", Will said.
"What's up?", Angelo asked.
"Well, it seems that Mr. Park needs you and Martin to take care for something for him downtown.", John said as his face got a bit serious.
"Now.", Martin questioned.
"Afraid so.", John said.
"Let's go, Martin.", Angelo said before turning towards Cornelia. "I'll be back as soon as I can."
"I know.", Cornelia said before they shared a kiss.
"Be right back.", Martin said.
"Take your time.", Irma said with a smile. "I'm in no rush.", she said before they shared a kiss.
"You're the best, Irma!", Martin said as he and Angelo headed for the front doors of the Silver Dragon.
"Tell me something I don't know!", Irma said as Martin and Angelo exited the place. "Has anybody noticed how buff Martin has become?"
"Well, he has been taking a few martial arts lessons in my dojo.", John said. "And he's come a long way."
"My boyfriend. Brains and brawn.", Irma said in a dreamy voice. "What more could a girl ask for?"
"A licence!", Cornelia said with a beaming smile.
"Ha, ha. Very funny.", Irma said in a dull tone getting a laugh from the others as John left the resturant.
Once out of the returant, John headed across the street and into the garage of his apartment home. He then got into his car and drove off to Shell Beach.
"Good luck boys.", John said as he continued to drive.
As for Angelo and Martin, they had just arrived at the warehouse district, at the docks, to see people running for their lives from what looked like a seven foot lizard in armour with sharp claws. Also there were three other people dressed in different colored uniforms with helmets, each weilding different weapons.
"The others are already here!", Martin said as he got out of Angelo's car.
"They must of been close by.", Angelo said as the two of them found a place that was hidden from the view of others. "Ready?", he said as he held up his right arm to his chest.
"Ready!", Martin said doing the same.
They both them wiggled their wrist a bit. When they did that, a small device appeared on their wrist.
"Delta Storm! Ranger Form! Ha!", they both said.
THE END
To be continued in... Power Rangers: Delta Force
A/N: Well, folks! That's that! Sort of. Cornelia and Lillian are doing okay. Cornelia is stronger from what happened and she and the girls have learned a valuable lesson from all of this. Not to mention Cornelia getting her licence. But it seems that Angelo and Martin have a secret of their own. A powerful secret! That's right readers! I'm doing a Rangers' story! My first crossover story! Well... the first one I'm doing on my own. Now how will this all turn out? You'll just have to wait for the sequel to find out.
Please review.
Also, if you want, you can take a guess as to who the other three rangers are. I'll give you a hint. Two of them are female. But can you guess what the ranger colors are. Well, ten to one, you've guessed that there's a Red, Yellow, and Blue Ranger. But what are the other two colors? There are no wrong or dumb guesses here people. I already know who's going to be what. I'm just interested about who you think they'll be. Hint. One of them isn't of Earth.
