Trini ducked through the crowd at the Youth Center's End of School bash, looking for the familiar forms of Tommy and Jason. As she ducked around another group of dancers, she spotted them. Tommy was dancing with a tall blond who could only be Katherine Hillard. Beyond them, Trini spotted the half familiar face of Adam Park and a pretty black woman who must be Tanya. At the table near by, Trini saw Rocky a woman she thought was Alia. It had been a while since she'd seen the other red ranger, and from the way she looked up at Rocky, things had changed a great deal. That meant that Jason was somewhere, Trini turned to scan the crowd, and spotted him. Dressed in a skin tight black shirt, and jeans, Jason was handing a drink to a pretty brunette who kissed his cheek.

"Trini?" Tommy said, startled.

Trini smiled as she turned, "Hey Tommy. Long time, no see; how are you?"

"I'm good," Tommy said as his hand came to rest on the blonde's hip. "I thought you were still in Europe?"

"No," Trini replied, "I came back here for school."

Tommy nodded, then shook his head slightly, "Where are my manners, Kat, I'm sorry. This is Trini Kwan," he tilted his head down, and Trini knew he was explaining her connection to the Rangers. "Trini, this is Katherine Hillard."

"I'm pleased to finally meet you," Trini said, offering her hand, "I've heard about you, of course."

"The pleasure is mine," Katherine replied, "but please, call me Kat. I've heard about you as well. Aisha told me."

Trini smiled, "Do you know where Jason is? I wanted to say hi."

"He's with Emily," Tommy said, "over by the snack table. They should be headed back this way soon enough." He turned, "Rocky, Adam, Tanya, come over here, look who dropped by."

The three Rangers came over, curious, and Trini smiled, "Rocky, Adam, it's good to see you again. It's been a while," she said.

Rocky whooped, "Trini!" He said, jumping forward to hug her and spin her around.

Trini laughed as he set her down in front of Adam, "Hi," Adam said.

"Hi," Trini replied.

"This is Tanya," Adam said.

"Aisha's friend from Africa," Trini added on, "I'm Trini."

"I'm pleased to meet you," Tanya said, "I've heard a few stories about you."

"Half-exaggerated," Trini replied, "people always like to embellish."

"Trini?"

Trini smiled slightly, winked at Tanya and turned, "Jason, there you are," she grinned, "I wanted to surprise you."

"Consider me surprised," Jason replied. He looked at the girl beside him, "Emily, this is my friend Trini." He paused, "What are you doing here; I thought you were going straight to Massachusetts?"

"Mother wanted proof that she had a daughter," Trini replied, "so I came here. I have to leave in the morning, because the dorms open then." She smiled at Emily, "I'm pleased to meet you, Emily. I'm sure that the letter where Jason talks about you is somewhere between here and Switzerland."

"No doubt," Emily replied, coolly. "Jason, let's dance."

Trini watched Jason lead Emily out for a slow dance and smiled slightly. Jealous much, Miss Emily?
