Hey everyone I am sorry I have not updated in quite a while I have been so busy that I could not get anything done and I finally have been able to get on my computer so now that I have I will do my best to write more often so sorry. If you get a chance to get me a message please do so. If I have made anyone upset by not getting a chapter out lately sorry about that. We left off with the end of Wes's first day of the Academy it will be a few months later now because I don't feel like going through each day. Also I may do a scene in Jen's apartment which is now both of their apartments.

Jen's apartment day of graduation

Jen and Wes are sitting at the table eating breakfast before they have to go to the Academy for the graduation. They are dressed in their Time Force uniforms so they were ready to leave as soon as they needed to. "Wes are you ready to get your badge and become a Time Force officer?" Jen asks as she takes another bite of her breakfast.

Wes looks up from his meal "Of course I am ready Jen I have been ever since I saw Rob at the Silver Guardians head courters." He tells her and then takes another bite of food. They sit there for a few more moments and continue to eat "so Jen do you know what they are planning on doing to train me to get my morpher back or is it a secret you can't tell?" He asks looking at her.

Jen looks back at him "there is going to be a class that I am going to teach that will have a few different officers to not make anyone suspicious as to why someone is learning how to be red ranger and nobody elts is. So now you will have to not look like a complete looser in front of everyone elts." She tells him with a smirk.

He looks at her and smiles "come on Jen even if I don't do the best I think it is pretty obvious that they cannot unlock the DNA lock on the morpher." He tells her as he grabs the plates that they have finished with to put them back into the kitchen. When he comes back Jen is up and getting ready for the day. He smiles at her and walks up to her and gives her a kiss. They then head out to go to the graduation.

They leave the apartment and in about 10 minutes they are at the school the graduation is set to start at 11:30 so they cheeked the time and it was 10:30 so they had a whole hour before it started.

They parted ways before they entered the building still trying to hide their relationship for a while longer. They go to find their friends so that they could kill some time. After a few minutes of looking for his friends Wes finds them and walks up to Chance who is facing away from him. Wes in one quick movement wraps his arms around Chances putting his head in his hands putting him into a full nelson so that Chance can't move. "Wow, I did not expect them to let you pass moron." Wes says as Chance tries to get free from Wes's grip.

Chance keeps struggling "come on Wes let me go I probably passed with better grades than your dumb ass." He says to Wes as he is finally able to get away from his friend.

Wes laughs at his friend who is rubbing his neck "if you couldn't get out of that you might want to talk to your hand to hand combat teacher." Wes says as he shows off his trademark smile "come on guys lets go find some good seats." Wes checks his watch 11:15 is what he reads.

Wes gets to a seat with his friends who are talking to each other and laughing at something that Cole said. Of course Wes is not paying attention to them because he is looking for a few people one of which he sees most days. He keeps looking until he finds one of the two Rob who is standing up with the other high ranking officers. Then he sees another person he is looking for Alex who he had become one of Wes's good friends because he had been around more than anyone elts.

Finally he finds the one person that he is looking for, for more than a few minutes he sits there looking for the person and when he finds her she is more stunning that when he saw her not an hour ago. While he is thinking Jen looks right at him and winks. He smiles and winks back so that she knows that he saw her.

When he looks over to his friends they continue to talk until the ceremony starts. "Everyone please find a seat so that we may be started." Says Captain Logan as everyone sits down "Thank you everyone now I would like to start this ceremony by saying that this year has been one of the best we have had in quite a while. The past few years have been hard on Time Force so this year has been one of the best changes of passes that we have had for many more years to come of that I am sure. Thank you for listening now I will turn it over to our Lieutenant Jennifer Scotts." He steps back from the podium and everyone starts to clap.

Jen steps up to the podium "thank you for your words Captain Logan, how about a round of applause for him everyone." Jen says and everyone claps again as Logan stands to accept the applause "thank you now I have spent a lot of time with this group and I know for a fact that this group will always be one in the memory of Time Force. This class is one of many that I have trained and I believe that they are the best group so far. If any of them didn't deserve what we are here for I would be shocked beyond belief. We have been though a few rough patches so we know what will happen if we need then to respond and come together to fight." Jen continues on her speech for a few minutes giving the group the honors that they have had so far and she smiles whenever something from one of the groups manly hers is mentioned in her speech. When her time limit for her speech comes down to only a few more lines worth of time "this group never needed our help for many things and one of these lucky individuals will get to have the great honor of being our red ranger. We will choose a select few of you to take a class that I will lead in two weeks to see who has the fire to be a great ranger. Thank you all for coming out to coagulate these fine cadets. Now when your name is called please come up to the officer that has influenced you the most and they will place your badge on your uniform which you will wear for the rest of your life." Jen finishes her speech and everyone starts to clap.

Jen starts to call off names and she watches as each of her group comes up and receives their badge until only one from her group is left. When Wes hears his name he walks up to the stage and once he is there he walks over to the one who has influenced him the most. As he walks he thinks and he almost loses track of where he is and about runs into Jen who stops him and puts his badge on his left breast of his jacket. They smile at each other and salute then Wes walks off stage and takes his seat once again.

Time Force Academy after the Ceremony

Jen is talking with one of the new officers about how they thought the year went and what they hoped would happen now staying in the conversation but without her head in the talk while Wes is talking with Logan about what would happen in the next two weeks and how the process for getting his morpher would go "so when I get a package in the mail about this I will know that I am in the class and that I will be able to get it back?" Wes asks Logan

Logan nods his affirmative "Yes, Wes when it comes in the mail you will come to class five days later so that you can get it back, just don't tell anyone that you were the red ranger before after the class I don't care but before is different because people would think of that as an unfair advantage OK." After that the conversation lasts another few minutes then ends about the same time Jen's ends so Wes and Jen meet up to talk.

They walk to one of the corners in the room so that nobody can hear them "Jen it is so wonderful that I will have my morpher back in just a couple weeks then I can kiss you and neither of us will be judged on it." He tells her and gives one of his trademark grins.

Jen smiles remembering the first time she saw that smile "I know what you mean Wes I have been waiting for that to be an option for a very long time." Jen continues to smile and laughs at their first encounter in 2001 and how much of a shock it was to see his face.

Wes smiles as he looks into Jen's eyes "what would you be doing tonight Jen?" he asks her thinking of something he has wanted to do ever since he first saw Jen and they had started to date.

Jen looks at him somewhat intrigued as to what he has in mind "I don't have any plans tonight Wes not unless you have something in mind that is." She tells him as his smile broadens.

He looks into her eyes then checks to make sure nobody will be able to hear what he has to tell her "Well Jen, I do have something in mind if you would like to go out to dinner with me that is?" he asks making her smile and nod enthusiastically at the idea of a real date. "Great how about we meet in the lobby at 7:30 so that we will be able to get to the restaurant." They both leave with one final wink and go to get ready for their date.

Time Force garage 7:30

Jen meets Wes in the lobby and they walk out to the garage to drive to the restaurant for their date. They get to the car that Captain Logan showed Wes to his first day. Wes unlocks the doors and opens Jen's door so she could get in then goes to his door to drive to the restaurant. "So, Jen do you happen to like Italian food?" Wes asks her as he starts the car and starts to drive.

Jen looks at him and smiles "I love Italian Wes why do you ask?" she comments to his question.

Wes look ahead and gives his usual smile when he is talking with Jen "I ask Jen because I got us a reservation at a local Italian restaurant called Biaggi's." he tells her while they continue to drive.

Jen's eyes widen when she hears the name of the restaurant "Wes that is one restaurant that is always booked in this city how did you get a reservation?" she almost screams as she smiles happily at the thought of eating there.

He glanced in her direction then looked back to the road to keep from swerving off the road "a last minute couple canceled so they had a small two person table available for the night." He tells her as they pull into the parking lot. Wes gets out and rushes out of his door to open Jen's for her.

They head into the restaurant and go up to the hostess who smiles at them "do you have a reservation?" she asks seeming somewhat in a rush as a few more people come into the restaurant to be seated.

Wes looks at her and smiles "Yes we do it should be under Wesley." He tells her so that she can look him up.

"Ah, here it is Wesley party of two." She says looking up. He nods and takes Jen's hand as they follow the hostess to a table in a back secluded corner away from most people. "Here you are your waiter will be Jeffery and he will be with you momentarily." She says with one last smile as she turns leaving the two to sit and look at drinks.

Wes looks up from the drink lists at Jen "do you have any preferences on a wine Jen?" he asks her politely so that she can choose on her favorite.

She looks at the list and decides on a bottle not even looking at the price because she knows that Wes has all of his family's money. When the waiter comes to them they order their wine and the waiter leave to get it while they find what they would like to eat. "So Jen what are you getting for your meal?" Wes asks politely as he skims threw his menu trying to decide.

She looks up from her menu and says "lobster fettuccini with ink died pasta sounds good to me but so does everything elts." She tells him with a smile and a giggle.

He nods looking threw his menu one more time deciding on his dish as the waiter come to the table with the bottle of wine. Then sets down one glass and fills the other slightly handing the glass to Wes so that he may taste it. Wes takes the glass and sniffs it experimentally then takes a sip. He feels a little bit of heat in his throat and a sweet taste from the wine. He smiles "this will be perfect thank you." As he finishes saying this he sets his glass down to be filled.

The waiter fills both glasses and then looks to Wes "are you ready to order sir or do you both need a few minutes?" he asks.

Wes looks at Jen who nods "we are ready Jeffery, Jen how about you go first." He says making Jen smile.

"Ok Wes I will, I would like the lobster fettuccini with the ink died noodles please." She says with a smile handing Jeffery her menu. He nods writing down her order then he turns to Wes.

Wes looks at his menu one last time "and I would like the Chicken Parmesan and could I get a serving of French bread for the two of us to split please?" he asks to which Jeffery nods and takes the menu that Wes is holding.

When he finishes writing he looks up "Ok I will get those in if you need anything just let me know ok." He tells them and then goes to get their order put in.

After about 20 minutes their food comes out steaming hot and they are left to enjoy their food in peace. They eat a few bites each then have the other try their meals.

After they finish their meals and their bottle of wine they pay their bill and head home. When they get back to their apartment they put away the few leftovers they have and go straight to bed remembering that they have work tomorrow. They both fall into a deep sleep as they wrap each other in their arms and drift off for the night.
