Disclaimer: Nope still down own them, but i'm working on it maybe in my dreams.

A/N: Hey guys I'm back. Thanks to everyone for the reviews. That make me happy. Now this isn't as long as my other chapters but there was no way to do it without making it sound forced. So although its not as long as the others I'm very happy with this chapter. So without anyother delays may I present you the third installment of What If.

Chapter Three

Casey walked up the stairs to hear Lily sobbing like nobody's business. Yeah he was so going to have to grovel and pray she wouldn't kick his ass. Yeah he may be the red ranger but she had a lot more training and she was a lady and he was taught to never hit a lady. So he knew he was going to have some bruises coming out of this. He took in a deep breath and let out a heavy, sad sigh. She looked up when she heard Casey's sigh and sent him a very angry, hurt glare.

"Lily, I know you're hurt. Believe me I know it. And you were right we should have told her, but we didn't and we have to deal with it. All of us including you." She made to protest but he held up his hand so he could continue. "You could have told her if you really wanted her to know and you know that but deep down you didn't want to, probably for the same reason I didn't want her to know. She could have been in serious danger had she known and all of us wanted to keep her safe. And if we told her then she wouldn't have been. But to be honest I'm kind of glad she found out the way she did because we didn't get hit by her." He laughed trying to lighten the mood but it only seemed to piss her off more, so he continued. "But what's done is done. And we can't go back. But she told me she forgave me, and you and pretty much all of us, she had this plan to make us beg for forgiveness but she forgot to tell you that so here I am telling you. But Lily please don't hate us. You are the only reason I can stand this team half the time. You're one of my closest friends and I would hate for you to actually mean you hate us. I couldn't bear it. Just know I am sorry, I really am." He finished before going back down the stairs to JKP. He would never admit this but he couldn't take Lily's tears anymore. They made him feel like he was the worst person in the world.

He came down just in time to see Fran slap Theo on the face before running past him and up the stairs to the loft. He looked down to see a flash of hurt pass over Theo's face before he put on mask and shrug his shoulders before going back out to the restaurant. Casey shook his head at his friend's stupidity and decided he was going to start the pizzas sense Fran was too upset to do it. As he started working on the pizzas he wondered what Theo did to piss off Fran so much. He glared at the door as if it could give the answer to his question.

Twenty Minutes Earlier

Theo entered the kitchen to see an impassive Fran. Okay would definitely prefer angry or hurt Fran then impassive Fran. You can do this ,Theo, she's just a girl, a small girl who couldn't hurt a fly if her life depended on it. He told himself yeah he so didn't believe that. But hello he was a power ranger there was no way she could take him; he had years of martial arts training. This was going to be easy, wait no it wasn't she's not a monster she's just a very angry hormonal woman. This was going to suck.

Fran was getting a little worried because Theo wasn't saying anything and he was looking at her strangely. She would never admit this to anyone including her pet hamster but Theo always scared the shit out of her and he was definitely doing it now. She was about ready to talk to him when he beat her to it.

"Fran I don't know what you want me to say other than I'm sorry. There really is nothing else I can say, so I hope that's good enough." He finished, hopefully that would be enough because he really didn't want to say anything else. This was uncomfortable as it is. But apparently Fran thought differently if the glare she was sending him was any indication.

Was he freaking serious? Yes she wanted more, yeah they really weren't that close but he owed her more than just a simple and lame I'm sorry. Who the hell did he think he was? Stupid cat and she meant that in the harshest tone possible.

"That's it? Are you for real? Yes I want something more than just a simple 'I'm Sorry'. Don't be stupid you dumb cat. You owe me more than that, fur ball. So you better have more than that flea bag." She spat at him, he was really starting to piss her off.

"I owe you? What the hell Fran? You shouldn't have even been up there in the first place. So don't go blaming me when it was your fault you found out in the first place. RJ told you to never go up there and what do you do, you go up there. So it's not my fault." Theo yelled at her. She was really pissing him off with her snide remarks. Who did she think she was? He was freaking power ranger, she had no right yelling at him at he was going to let her know that.

"You should have told me Theo that's why I'm pissed you moron. And I went up there to get something that we ran out of jackass. So don't you dare yell at me. What is your problem? Casey apologized to me and so did Lily and their apologies were way better and they actually meant them. So tell me what is your deal you walking mouse trap?" Theo was really pissing her off. If he didn't watch it she was going to have to hurt him and he did not want that. She could really hurt him if she had to.

Theo was getting really pissed at her cat remarks and then she had to go and say his apology wasn't good enough or that he meant it. Who the hell was she to say he didn't mean it. Well fine if she wanted to get nasty so could he.

"My problem is you Fran. Who are you to say I didn't mean my apology. But fine if it wasn't good enough for the almighty Fran then I take it back. I'm not sorry for you finding out because you shouldn't have been up there to begin with. My problem with you is that we don't need you. You bring nothing to us but headaches. So I don't care about you or your stupid feelings! I wish you weren't here!" He yelled at her. Then he stood there after a moment and realized what he had said. Before he could even apologize for what he just said Fran had slapped him and hard might he had. Wow she really could hit hard. And then she stormed off to the loft. He couldn't believe he just said that. He didn't mean it, he was just upset because he knew he wasn't good at apologies and she had basically said it sucked and that he didn't mean it. But he really messed up with this and he knew it. He was really going to have to beg next time if there was a next time. He walked back out the door to the restaurant never noticing Casey there.

Fran stood there shocked and hurt at his words. But they kept coming and oh boy, were they coming. She didn't mean his apology wasn't good; well yeah she did because really all he could say was I'm sorry. He could do better than that and she knew it. He finished and before she knew what she was doing she slapped him and slapped him hard. He didn't care about her well good she didn't care about him either. Screw the stupid excuse for a human being. She ran up to the loft where she knew Lily was. She really needed Lily right now. Was Theo right? Did they not want her here? She really didn't know but Theo's words put more doubt in her head than she needed. She never even noticed she ran past Casey on her way up too.

Casey looked up to the clock to see that it was almost time for JPK to open and Lily and Fran still had yet to come down and Theo and RJ had yet to enter the kitchen since the slap. Casey got fed up with not knowing what was going on so he made his way upstairs to the loft only to stop when he heard the heartbreaking sobs come from Fran. He walked into the loft and cleared his throat but before he could she asked him with broken eyes that would haunt him for years and a question that made him see red, no pun intended at all.

"Do you guys really hate me?"

So make me happy and hit that very pretty review button for me.
