Living the Ranger Life Chapter 7: Memories of the Heart Shared, a power rangers fanfic

Chapter Seven:

Reefside Park (basketball court)

"Jenny pass me the ball munchkin, we are so going to school you boys." Kim said

"Ok let's play some good honest basketball, ok losers has to by everyone dinner at the Cyberspace café tonight." Trini said

"You boys are going down; we are going to teach you a lesson in proper sportsmanship." Hailey said she was nervous having never played sports in her life.

So the playful banter continued and the guys schooled the girls good. Although the girls lost Hailey decided to make dinner that night on the house.

"So Hailey, why did you decide to feed us dinner on the house later tonight?" Kira asked

"Well I already told you that I have never played a sport in my life, and therefore utter humiliation would occur on my part." "I also said I would try my best but to no avail, making dinner on the house my peace offering." Hailey said

"I highly doubt that basketball could be considered a complex sport due to it being simple calculated mathematics." "I believe that one of high intellect as should be able to perform such a simple task as shooting and dribbling a ball." Billy said

"Intellect I have but the coordination that is required for movement in such know sport activities is absent I'm afraid." Hailey concluded

Again the rest of the group had a far away look on their faces except for Jenny, Ethan, and Trini.

"Uncle Billy said that Auntie Hailey should be able to shoot and dribble a basketball due to it being simple calculated mathematics." "And that someone who is very intelligent should be able to do so easily." "Oh and Auntie Hailey said that intellect she has but coordination she doesn't." Jenny finished

The adults looked somewhat surprised that a 5 year old could translate genius speak so well. Then again Jenny was not your typical 5 year old little girl.

"Ok how about the boy getting the steaks and chicken on the grill, and we will get out the drinks and the chips and dip." Kim said

"That is a great idea because all of this activity has made me starved." Conner said

"Well you are going to have to help cook the food, considering that the boys are taking care of the meal." Kira said

So without much more discussion they began to get lunch started as Kimberly and Kira brought out their guitars.

"Hey Kira how about singing the songs that mean a lot to Kim and I, since we have heard you sing it has lifted our spirits." Tommy said

So Kira and Kim began to play "True Love" and then "Patiently"

"This song was written originally as a duet with an old friend, singer Kylie Styles." "It has the same meaning that "Down the Road" has for all of you veteran rangers.

True Love

Kira:
Best friends
They come and go depending on your highs and your lows
My best friend decided not to be there when I needed her the most
I thought you'd be there for me
Then why did you lie to me
Using me to get what you want?
Then I couldn't believe it happened
No, I couldn't understand

Kim:
True love walked out the door
Couldn't take it no more
True love
It broke my heart
You make my whole life sore
He said he'd be my baby
Then why did he betray me?
Temptation got to his head
Then I left him, yeah
And this is what I said

Kira and Kim (singing descant)
It feels like it's gonna be okay
(It's gonna be okay)
It feels right
It just feels that way
(It just feels that way)
It feels like
It'll be a better day
Cause I believe that in the end
Good things are coming my way

"Wow what a beautiful song that was and your right it helps us to treasure our friendships." Kat said

"This next song has added meaning to me now that I have found my love in Conner, and it has added a new depth to just how worth it was to wait for fate to bring Dr. O and Kim back together." Kira said

Patiently

Looking back, I don't regret...
One single day.
Memories will keep me close...
When you walk away.
It's harder than I could imagine.
I guess I should have known that.
Close your eyes, I'll be there.
I'll come running anywhere.

Say goodbye, I'll be okay.
I will wait for you, cause...
True love will never fade.
When it's real, you can feel it.
And I know, that you know..
That I will keep on waiting..
Patiently..
Patiently... for you.

Stormy Tuesday afternoons haven't been the same.
I used to stand outside and taste..
The sweetness of that.
It's harder when it really happens.
Oh, I wish I'd know that.
Close my eyes and you're there.
But I can't find you anywhere.

Patiently...
So patiently..

When I'm lost, I try to find you.
Turn around, I'm right behind you.

"I still remember when you and Dr. O came to me and told me how this song actually brought back memories of your time apart, and how you both knew that love did stand the test of time." Kira said

"Actually we find it interesting and yet wonderful that many of the ranger couples present, excluding Conner and Kira have lasted as long as they have." Ethan said

"Well remember what we said to you kids, love is not all fairy tales and happily ever after." "Life throws situations and obstacles that drive friends, family, and even lovers apart." "But you will always find your way back to what really matters." Jason said while wrapping Kat up in his arms.

"Ok enough with all this mushy stuff and let's have lunch ok." Justin and Ethan both said.

So they had a nice lunch and discussed more plans for the short span of time that they were together.

"I have an idea, beautiful how about a walk around the lake together, since Jenny is ok with the rest of the gang?" Tommy asked

"That sounds great handsome, we really haven't had some time alone for a while." Kim said

"We will be glad to watch over the Jenny, so go out and spend some time together." Aisha and Trini said

So the couple headed out for their walk with little suspicion that Goldar and Rito were hiding in the bushes ready to attack. Dun dun dun till next time :)
