A Ranger in Need

Summary Tai and Yamato confront Trip.

Disclaimer I own nothing. I wish I did, but I don't :(

A/N I've been gone a while, I know. College kept me busy and I just finished my exams, so I hope to do one update a day. And I got a review saying I mixed up Trip's da and husband, so here it is

Father : Tai

Husband : Yamato

Son : Shoon

I hope this helps you. It should help me :D

Confrontations

Trip sighed as he worked on the computer. The team had been slightly....annoying lately. They'd been very protective and it was annoyong Trip. Even now. Trip was trying to fix this shop's computer and Lucas was standing guard. He was passed off as an assisstant, but he was doing nothing expceot staring at the road. Trip grinned as the computer started to work. The owner grinned and shook Trip's hand, before handing him the money. The two walked out and Trip turned to Lucas.

"When are you going to stop this?"

"What?"

"All of you following me and....looking after me like I'm a child!"

"You're 17. You are still a child. I mean a married child who gave birth and is running from an abusive husband, but a child all the same!"

Trip stiffened and glared at Lucas, who realised he'd said the wrong thing. He stared at his friend.

"Ok , look. We just want you to be safe. You're our friend Trip and we din't want these guys to get you, alright?"

Trip nodded, his head down.

"Trip, are you crying?"

"N..n...no."

"Yes, you are. Come here, but you tell anyone I did this, no Westerns for a month."

Lucas drew Trip into his arms and tried not to think about how good it felt to hold his young friend.

The rangers met up and were eating in a cafe. Jen drank her tea.

"We need to get back to the clock tower. Something could happen."

"We know. Let's go."

They paid and walked out of the cafe, but were stopped by a voice.

"Trip, won't even say hello?"

Trip stopped and turned around, horror in his face.

"Father, Yamato what are you doing here?"

"We came to find you, idiot. Trip come home, back to me, back to our son."

Trip gasped.

"Did you find Shoon?"

Yamato growled and clenched his fist.

"No! We will, don't worry."

Trip stared at his father and husband. He felt his friends surround him and was shocked when Wes spoke up.

"Go to hell. Trip will never go back to you and you can't force him."

"Oh, we can't. But maybe, she can."

Nadira appeared.

"Hello rangers."

"Nadira, what are you doing here?"

"I just wanto to help a family re-unite. That's not a bad thing is it. Cyclobots! ATTACK!!"

The rangers morphed. Trip was worried. This could only end badly with Tai and Yamato there.

A/N Done. Read and review please. Sorry about the absence. Next chapter, will the battle end well for Trip?
