Wes and Eric were white knuckling the arm rests on their chairs as they shot through the wormhole at top speed. They saw crazy colors and if you had peered hard enough you would see actual time passing you by. The wormhole opened up on the other end and they went through and down toward the ground. "Oh great right onto the freeway! Perfect! Eric yelled. "I was hoping we would land on a beach myself!" Wes said. The shuttle hit the ground and kept going. Cars swerved out of it's way. "Break! Break!" Eric yelled. Wes pulled up the break and slowed the shuttle down to a progressive stop. For a moment things were quiet. "We made it." Wes said. The rear ramp dropped they unstrapped themselves and left the shuttle. They stepped out to warm clean air and sunshine. "The future is nice." Eric said. They saw flashing lights and heard sirens in the distance. "Must be our welcoming committee." 'Maybe we just show our morphers and they'll know we're the good guys." Wes said. "Yeah maybe." "Okay, I'm willing to admit I maybe didn't think this all the way through." "Ya think?"
The time force police car stopped and Katie and Lucas stepped out of the vehicle. "Time force!" Lucas yelled. They walked toward them and realized who they were looking at. "Wes?!" Katie said "Oh my god Wes!" Lucas exclaimed. Katie ran toward Wes and hugged him tightly. "Ouch, ouch. Katie!" "Sorry!" "I appreciate a Katie hug." Wes said. He hugged Lucas. "Hey Eric!" Katie said and she gave him a hug as well. "What are you guys doing here?" "Well I got a message from Jen from the further future asking me to come here. So here we are." "She's down town right now, we'll take you to her."
More police cars show up. The officers step out. "It's all good guys! Get this shuttle downtown to headquarters." Wes and Eric get in the back seat of the car and they're on their way. 'Hey what about our time shuttle?" Eric asked. "I'll have it sent down to Time Force HQ." Lucas said.
Time Force Headquarters.
"Jen got promoted to Lieutenant after the whole thing with the Mutorgs. She sits upstairs now doing a lot of paperwork." Lucas said. "Sounds like your life Wes." Eric said jokingly. "Yeah, yeah. So this is Time Force.." "Yep, you're looking at the biggest law enforcement agency in the nation." "Impressive." Eric said. They got on the elevator. "56th floor." Lucas said. The elevator shot up. "Awesome they have the same kind of elevators here we have back at home." Wes said. They got to the 56th floor. "Straight down the hall." Katie said. They walked down the hall to the closed door at the end. Lucas knocked on the door. "It's open." Jen's voice called out. Wes tensed up with excitement. Lucas opened the door. And there was Jen in her white time force uniform, her hair longer. "You got a few minutes Jen?" "I'm a bit busy, can you come back later?" Wes them chimed in. "What you don't have a few minutes to spar for a familiar face?" Jen looked up. A smile crept across her face. "Wes." Lucas and Katie moved out of her way like clockwork as Jen sprang to her feet and ran over and hugged him tight. "You're here, what're you doing here?" They hugged each other tightly again. "Believe it or not you sent me here." "I did?" "We have something pretty serious to talk about. Wes pulled a device out of his pocket. "Wait." Jen put a headset on her ear. "Trip, my office now." "On my way Jen." "This seems like a Power Ranger thing so Trip should be here." "No arguments here." It almost went unnoticed that Jen had her arms wrapped around Wes's arm holding tightly onto him. Wes had noticed but didn't say anything because he loved it when Jen would hold on to him.
Trip came into the office. "Wes!" "Trip, hey buddy!" He gave Trip a hug. "Okay now that we're all here."
Wes pressed a button showing Jen's message. "It's from 3016."
After viewing the message everyone was silent. "It has seemed like things were getting different lately." Trip said. "What do you mean?" Wes asked. "The mutants, they seem stronger than usual, they seem to function together like someone has brought them together."
"So we get together and call this Cyra out." Wes said. "If she's here yet." Jen said. "I… it seems only told you she arrived in 3005, but never knew exactly when." "So we could be here a while." Eric said. Jen slightly smiled hearing that. Wes will be here a while in her time. "So where's the nearest Holiday inn?" Eric said. "Oh please we can put you guys up we have places we live in. Eric you can stay at my place, you'll love it. Lucas said. "What about me?" Wes said.
"Wes, of course you can stay with me at my place." Jen said. "My shift is over in a few minutes." "I say we all go out and get a drink.' Lucas said. "Yeah it's not everyday all six time force rangers are together." Katie said. "Okay I'm in Jen said.
BLUE OYSTER BAR
Wes is sitting at a table with Trip, Lucas, and Katie. "So there were are on the moon, there's 10 red rangers. I mean every generation of red ranger to that day are there. We're fighting the remnants of the Machine Empire who are trying to raise this robot dragon of doom thing. All the years of experience we had and Cole who's pretty much the rookie of of the bunch at the time. Saves the day!"
The group all laughs and cheers Cole at the same time. Jen is at the bar watching Wes interact with their friends and can't help but smile. Eric takes a seat next to her. "You know, he misses you everyday. I haven't seen Wes so excited until today." "I like seeing him smile." "I'll tell you what I told Wes before we left. You two love each other. Find a way to be together. In a universe of infinite possibilities a relationship between you two isn't impossible." "I will definitely take that into consideration." Jen went over and joined the others at the table. Eric sat and watched now a smile on his face. "Eric get over here!" Wes shouted. Eric got up and joined them as they all drank, talked and laughed. It was like old times again.
Jen's Apartment.
The door slides open and Jen and Wes enter. "Sliding doors. Awesome." "Just the entry the rest of the apartment. Bedroom, bathroom have the regular closing doors. I wanted it somewhat classic." "Very nice. So should I grab a blanket and pillow for the couch. "You can sleep next to me in my bed if you want Wes." "I'd very much like that. "I have a balcony where you can see the whole city. I picked a prime spot to live. And check this out. Skylight." Wes dropped his bag and looked up as the ceiling parted down the middle revealing a skylight where the light of the moon shined through it. "Neat." He walked over to the double doors and opened them. He stepped outside and looked at the city. Really seeing the future for the first time. Tall buildings, flying transportation all over. Small fields of grass on the rooftops. "Wow, the future truly is amazing." Jen stood next to Wes and took his hand. "The view is what sold me on it." Jen leaned in close and laid her head on his shoulder. "What do you do about music in this apartment?" "Watch this." Jen said with a smile. "Stereo, play Live Dolphin's Cry." "Listen to oldies of the 90's here do ya?" Wes said jokingly. Jen laughed and playfully smacked his arm. "I was very surprised to see you. I can't believe you're here." "Well what can I say you needed my help so I came running without thinking twice." "It's things like that which are why I fell in love with you when we were in 2001." Wes looked at Jen and she just stared into his eyes not looking away. "I've waited a long time for this." Jen said. Wes put his hand on her face. "So have I." "Wes. I don't want to let you go again, I don't want to have to say goodbye again." Wes put his other hand on her face and pulls her in close. "Maybe you won't have to, remember what I told you." "You can make your own destiny." Jen said. She leaned in closer and they kissed each other deeply and passionately. Years of dreaming of kissing each other becoming a reality in mere moments. Jen pulled away. "I never kissed you before because I thought I'd never see you again. I didn't want to know what it was to kiss you and then never kiss you again." She pulled him into a tight hug. "It's okay Jen. I understand." She looked up at him and he kissed her again. There was no turning back now, no matter how much time travel was involved. This was forever a moment in time that could never be wiped from existence.
Later when they went to bed Wes laid down next to her and got under the covers. Jen reached over and pulled his arm over her and held onto it with both her hands.. He held her close as they drifted off to sleep.
