Chapter Eight:

Tommy POV:

As Kira sang I thought more and more about her home life, and how she was now in foster care because of her parents dieing in a car accident. I only asked Kim for a walk to discuss maybe adopting Kira as our own. After all she was much older than most foster kids and deserved the family that she wanted.

"Hey beautiful, what would you say if I asked you if it was alright to adopt Kira?"

"Well handsome, I would say that I was thinking the same thing, since she has technically been our "daughter" and more like a sister than an Aunt to Jenny."

"That's true considering that she and Jenny seem to enjoy being kids together." I concluded

Kim POV:

I would love to have Kira as part of the family she has brought a certain ray of sunshine into our seriously bleak world. Her love for life is so full and vibrant; she radiates joy, hope, and love despite her circumstances. We began to walk back to the group so that we could have a talk with Kira. As soon as we arrived we grabbed Kira to have that talk.

"So Dr. O and Kim what was it that you wanted to talk to me about?" Kira asked

"Well sweetie, Tommy and I have been talking and we were wondering if you would like to be a part of the Oliver family?" "We are making this offer from our hearts especially since you let us into yours." Kim said

"You guys are so not joking are you, of course I would love to be a part of your family." "I have been secretly calling you both mom and dad in private since I consider you guys more of my family." Kira said

"Then it is settled we are going to get you out of the foster home tonight, and sign the papers right then and there." Tommy said as he hugged her tight and Kim had her turn.

Kira POV:

I can't believe it starting tonight I'm going to be Kira Marie Ford-Oliver. I know that they said to keep it a secret but I'm just bursting with joy that they would really do this for me. I was all smiles as the Olivers and I headed to the group home to meet Justice Foster a friend of the Oliver's from City Hall to preside over the adoption stuff.

We entered the home to find Justice Foster with a big folder with him which was the papers, and the head of the home Mrs. Thorndike waiting and she had a relieved look on her face.

"Well, Dr. and Mrs. Oliver here are the papers that you must sign, One to legally release Kira Marie Ford into your care, and the other to legally change her last name to Oliver." Foster said

So the Oliver's signed both documents and took oaths that they would care for me and give me the home that any child needed. This was finally the day that I felt I was going home.

"Well sweetie, how does it feel to be an Oliver now?" Tommy asked

"It feels like a big weight has been lifted off of my shoulders, I feel really good." I said as we piled back into the jeep and headed back to the park to tell everyone the news.

Back at Reefside Park:

"There you guys are we have been wondering where you disappeared to?" Adam said

"Well guys if you all would gather around the picnic table, we have an announcement to make." Tommy said grinning

"This news has to be really big if Dr. O is grinning like a mad man." Trent said

"It is guys and if you don't settle down Kim and I won't tell you today." Tommy said

So the former and current rangers as well as Jenny sat down and waited for Tommy to tell them the news.

"Well guys we would like to introduce starting today the newest member of the Oliver family, Kira Marie Oliver." Tommy and Kim said at the same time

"YAY I HAVE A BIG SISTER, I HAVE A BIG SISTER." Jenny kept on shouting as Kira spun her around.

"This is wonderful guys, I am so glad that you finally got yourself that family you wanted honey." Conner said

So the rest of the team congratulated their leader and his family on the new addition into the Oliver family. Then they headed to Hailey's for that promised "dinner on the house."

"May we crash the party, you power pukes?" Rito asked as he and Goldar brandished their weapons

"Attack them putties, and tengas let us destroy these power pests." Goldar said

The group began to fight off the putties, but the tenga warriors were too strong to battle unmorphed.

"It's morphin time guys."

Tyrannosaurus

Mastadon

Saber tooth tiger

Ninjetti Power

Kim and Tommy decided to use their own spirit animals to fight this battle as well.

"I AM THE APE, MIGHTY AND STRONG!" Rocky cried as his red ninja suit appeared before him

"I AM THE BEAR, CUNNING AND FIERCE!" Aisha cried as she was clothed in her suit.

"I AM THE WOLF, SILENT AND SURE!" Billy shouted as his suit appeared and he began to get into a fighting stance

"I AM THE FROG, COURAGEOUS IN SPIRIT!" Adam said

"I AM THE CRANE, AGILE AND GRACEFUL!" Kim said

"I AM THE FALCON JUST AND ABLE." Tommy finished

"ZEO RANGER I PINK!" Kat exclaimed as she donned her suit.

DINO THUNDER POWER UP HA! The teens exclaim and were instantly transformed as well

They fought off their enemies as best as they could, then it was time for the ninjetti to call on their armor.

"PINK RANGER POWER!"

"YELLOW RANGER POWER!"

"BLUE RANGER POWER!"

"BLACK RANGER POWER"!

"RED RANGER POWER!"

"WHITE RANGER POWER!"

Soon enough Rito and Goldar grew, and to the ranger that meant that Rita and Zedd were back. Then Elsa and Zeltrax made a surprise appearance keeping the morphin and dino thunder rangers busy while the ninjetti called their zords.

"CRANE ZORD"

"WOLF ZORD"

"FROG ZORD"

"APE ZORD"

"BEAR ZORD"

"FALCON ZORD"

They fought as hard as they could individually with their zords but now was the time for putting them together.

"Ok guy's let's bring them together and finish this once and for all." Tommy called

"NINJA MEGA FALCON ZORD POWER UP!" they all yelled and blasted Goldar and Rito into disappearing again

The battle on the ground ended the same way the rangers won again. So they all powered down and finally arrived at the café where Hailey had dinner ready for them. It was a bittersweet day for them all as once again they realized that life as a ranger was never easy.
