Trini was trying to learn a new style of fighting, the Praying Mantis, a form of Kung-fu. Jason watched his fellow team mate as she struggled to learn the move.

Trini was struggling, looking over she saw Jason watching her. She wanted so bad to do this move correctly and perfectly. She could hear Jason tell Bulk to shut up as he started teasing her. She tried to ignore him, but after many failed attempts Master Li told her calmly. "Trini, you will get it. Some times it takes time to learn something knew."

Trini looked at him frustrated and said. "I am not used to this many failed attempts."

Master Li smiled kindly to her and told her. "Then go practice on your own for a wile my child, you shall learn in due time."

After she was dismissed Jason watched as she raced out of the Youth Center upset. Following he caught up with her just outside near the parking lot.

"Trini! Wait!"

The Yellow Ranger stopped and turned to her fellow Ranger and Leader. Tears were in her eyes as she stood there looking at him.

"What Jason?"

He knew she was upset and he told her. "I think you did great."

Trini told him firmly. "I messed up the move Jason, I can't learn it..."

"Trini, you can learn anything as long as you put your mind to it. Your smart and talented, it may take some time to learn the move but you will get it."

Later that afternoon Rita created a monster that has a warped sense of honor, and to make things worse... only the Yellow Ranger can defeat the monster...

Jason could see it in Trini's eyes, he could see that she was scared to confront this monster. He pulled her aside and told her calmly.

"You can do this Trini, I believe in you. I know the others do too, look we will be here if you need us. You won't be alone. Just remember that Rita has no honor, you do. So this monster is a trap to test you big time. Follow your heart on this one girl, and you can do this."

During his pep talk Jason saw the confidence return in the Yellow Rangers as she put her arm behind her back and shouted.

"It's Morphin Time!"

Jason watched her leave in a streak of yellow, jogging back to the viewing globe he stood by his friends and watched as Trini battled the monster. Giving her silent words of encouragement they all watched as she struggled, Jason was so focused on just Trini and the monster he was startled when Billy shouted in his ear.

"Look! Putties!"

Kim gave a look of disgust and said sharply. "Talk about not fighting fair."

Jason looked at his team and said firmly.

"It's Morphin Time!"

The remaining Rangers came to Trini's rescue and defeated the monster with out much trouble. Still morphed Jason walked over to the short girl and told her.

"I told you, you could do it. I'm proud of you."

She looked up at the Red Ranger and told him. "Thanks Jase, for believing in me."

Every one watched the play of emotions running across the former Red Ranger's face, no one said a word as he took a drink from his water and looked over at Zack who had been relatively quiet for the most part.

Zack looked down at the purple table top and said softly. "I remember that too... she was scared of failing us... I can still hear her shouting to Billy when he was up on that cliff the day we first became Rangers... She was so terrified of heights she was sure Billy would be too... Honestly if it wasn't for Bulk she never would have climbed that rope here in the Youth Center, it was an epic scare but it was enough to make her reach new heights..."

Kim remembered that day too, she could feel tears welling up in her eyes again. Zack shook his head and stood up.

"Guys, what are we doing? We are talking about times that makes us all more sad that she is gone. What about the other times? The times that make us laugh? Times that no one else knows about..."

Skull had come back in and was listening to the story Zack was getting ready to tell. He thought about his last statement then it hit him... walking over he asked Zack.

"Was this when you guys first became Power Rangers?"

Zack smiled at him and said. "Oh yea, and there is an added bonus at the end that I don't think you and Bulk knew about..."

Zack was going down the hall of the school when he saw Bulk and Skull hanging near the lockers talking, ignoring them as usual he went on to class. Trini was there before him so he sat down as Ms. Applebee came into the room.

Trini sat up straight in her seat and waited for their teacher to begin the days lesson, Bulk and Skull came in; as usual they knocked other students papers or pencils off their desks and onto the floor. Zack saw a spark of mischief in his friend's eyes as she watched them. It was rare but there were times Trini would play a prank with him.

After class Zack caught up with Trini and asked. "So what was that look for?"

Trini smiled at him and said. "I have an idea, you know how its an old urban legend that breaking a mirror can mean 7 to 10 years bad luck?"

Zack got the idea and said. "Oh yea, my mom was telling my sister that when she broke her mirror one day."

"Well lets find a mirror that is already broken and make the two think that they did it."

Zack's dark brown eyes went wide at the hidden meaning. "Lets? As in us? you and me? Nuh uh! No way! I don't want to be their next target if things go wrong."

Trini smiled at him and told him easily. "How are they going to know it was us unless you tell them?"

Zack knew this was out of character for Trini to want to play a prank, but no harm done right? So after agreeing to the plan they found a broken mirror in the trash at school and planted it in Bulk's locker.

When the large bully opened the locker the mirror fell out and broke the rest of the way. "AH! Bulkie! Do you know what this means? 20 years bad luck! Quick get rid of it!"

Bulk looked over at his friend and said qickley. "It's 7 years you dork! And I don't believe in that nonsense!"

Trini and Zack were hiding behind a wall near by and watched the two trying not to laugh.

"What are you two doing?"

Both nearly jumped out of their skin when they spun around to come face to face with Jason. He had a look of curiousness across his face as he looked around the corner seeing the panicked look on Skulls face and the annoyed look on Bulks he asked the Black and Yellow Rangers.

"Did you two do something?"

Zack tried to put on his best poker face and said. "No way Jase, we didn't do anything."

In the back of his mind he said 'yet'...

Jason gave them a questioning look before dismissing it saying. "OK, just what ever you two are up to... please don't get caught."

In saying he walked away, letting out a sigh of relief Zack told his Yellow companion. "That was close. So what's next?"

Trini smiled mischievously at him and said. "Where do they keep those fake bugs?"

Zack's eyes went wide, he hated bugs. "Nuh uh I am not touching bugs! Fake or not!"

Trini put a hand on his shoulder, "You don't have to, I will."

After a few moments of silence she said. "Besides if we get caught I don't want you to be the one in trouble."

It was a well known fact that Mr. Kaplan did not like pranks, preformed by any one on school property. Who ever was caught would go to Detention. Zack leaned against the wall and looked at her with a worried expression. Trini noticed and motioned for him to follow her. The two Rangers raced down the hall and to the science lab, to their frustration Billy was there tutoring a fellow student. Looking up the Blue Ranger asked.

"What's up guys?"

Trini didn't want any one else in on this so she turned to Zack saying quickly. "Wrong room, lets go to the Drama Class room."

Billy gave them questioning looks but just shook his head when the two exited quickly. Zack and Trini raced down the hall and found no one around and gathered what they needed. Going back to Bulk's locker once the two were gone Zack stayed on look out while Trini did her magic.

"Jase is coming, hurry up!"

Trini slammed the locker shut and said. "Lets go! I don't want to be late for class."

The two took off down the hall and got to their next class before the bell rang. After school that day the group of friends met at the Youth Center where Trini had more plans in store for Bulk and Skull.

She had pocketed one of the fake roaches, when she saw Bulk order a large sandwich she got up when Ernie turned away from the counter and planted the roach in it. Before hand she managed to loosen the table top that the two normally use. All this with out being caught by any one else. Zack had to give her credit when it came to stealth. She was a master at it.

What they did not know was that they were being watched, but the person was not about to intervene.

Every one laughed when Bulk sat his plate down next to Skull and when Skull sat back in his chair to take a bite of his own sandwich is when the table rocked and everything fell on Bulk's lap. The larger bully scowled hard at the table when Skull laughed at him.

The on looker who was spying on Zack and Trini laughed hard at the events of what happened. After a few more unlucky things happening, like Bulk's smoothie glass miraculously dumped in his lap, the chair he was sitting in tipped back knocking him to the floor, his shoes being tied together. Skull told his friend.

"I told you Bulkie! That mirror that broke at school gave you bad luck!"

At the time the cake Ernie had been carrying had tipped out of his hands, so when Bulk answered Skull he had white cake with dark frosting on his head, and lap.

"There's no such thing as bad luck numbskull!"

The harmless pranks continued for a few more days, but, all good things must come to an end. On the third day when Trini made it to where Bulk's desk in the classroom was too high for him, the entire desk toppled to the ground with a loud clang. Papers and books when flying, unfortunately Mr. Kaplan was teaching the class and said sharply.

"Who is responsible for this!"

Jason snorted in his hands trying hard not to laugh, he knew the pranks were harmless, but this time it might have gotten his friends into trouble. A female student raised her hand and said.

"I saw Trini raise the desk, with as high as it was raised it was bound to knock over."

Zack's brown eyes went wide when he realized they had been caught, but so far just Trini had been caught. Bulk stood up and said hotly. "Yea and where did those bugs come from in my locker? I keep getting pranks done to me!"

Trini sunk low in her chair knowing she had been caught, lucky for her she had two friends that stood up for her.

Jason stood up quickly seeing their principal's fast approach towards his yellow clad friend. "Mr. Kaplan, I am the one who did those things."

Zack looked shocked but stood up as well. "Yea and I helped."

Jason looked over at Zack but didn't back down when Mr. Kaplan stood before Jason and said sharply.

"Fine, then both of you can report to DEEE TENTION!"

Trini stood up and said quickly. "No! It was me! Jason what are you doing! It was me, I acted alone."

Mr. Kaplan was not a patient man and said. "Fine, then you can join them! Go! Now!"

Trini didn't even look over at her friends as the three made their way to Detention, when they entered the room they were the only ones there. Jason shut the door quickly and turned to his two friends.

"I know what you two have been up too. I couldn't let you do all of that alone. Besides there is one prank you two didn't pull."

Trini frowned and asked. "What do you mean?"

Jason gave her a knowing look and said. "How do you think Ernie lost his balance when he held the cake? You two didn't even see me when I came up behind him and said his name quickly, he has the worst luck when it comes to being startled and holding things."

Trini and Zack stared at him in aww. Their leader and best friend, pulled a prank with them never knowing about it. Jason grinned at them and added.

"Besides a good leader goes down with his team."

Upon giving him a questioning look the door opened behind Jason and Billy came in as well. Looking down shyly the Blue Ranger said.

"I may have assisted with the events that happened yesterday when Bulk took a drink out of the water fountain and got a mouth full of blue frosting instead... after you three left I confessed what I did yesterday."

Zack was thanking the heavens above that Kimberly had been ill the last few days so she was not going to be joining them. But it was still funny non the less the pranks they pulled...

Every one at the table laughed when Zack was done talking, Tommy looked at his three former team mates and asked.

"So you four got into trouble for pranks? That is not like you?"

Jason smiled and said. "Trini had gotten the idea from when we had those pranksters at school, and she wanted to have a little fun and do something spontaneous. Yea it is out of character for her to do things like that. But you have to admit, Billy and I couldn't resist NOT joining in when he told me about them acting strange. I told him that they were acting just as weird when I caught them doing something the first day. So we plotted to help them out a bit. Like I had said, a good leader goes down with his team."

Kim was laughing hard when she remembered what the others had told her back then, she looked at them and said. "And I was sick during all of that! Darn the luck!"

Conner laughed and looked over at his former teacher. "You weren't in on it?"

Tommy smiled wide and said while still laughing a little. "I wasn't part of the team yet. In fact I think it happened pretty close to when Rita turned me evil but I am not sure how close."

Jason noticed his friend looking at him questioningly and said. "One week later is when Rita turned you evil, it was a day or two after the pranks happened that you moved here."

They all heard chuckling near by and turned to see Skull standing there shaking his head at them. "So that's how it all went down. I gotta say Jason, you and Billy surprised me when you admitted to pulling pranks. So is that why Bulk and I were constantly covered in either smoothies or cake? Was because you four caused the problem?"

Jason shook his head and told him. "No, not entirely, there were times when we did it on purpose but not all the time. That time that the cake machine Billy invented went haywire and covered every one, that was a malfunction with the device, not us."

Skull got a chair and sat near them, he told Jason. "She was really a good person, I miss her a lot. It was hard knowing that she died, but you know what, she left a legacy behind."

He looked between Tanya, Aisha, and Kira as he spoke. He knew about all the former Power Rangers, he and Bulk worked with a scientist for a few years before hearing about Ernie's decline in health. That was when Skull told his life long friend about who he knew the Power Rangers to be. But, Bulk for what ever reasons but his own, did not believe him.

The others around the table nodded in agreement, JJ walked over to them and asked his father.

"Dad? Are you guys talking about mom? And all those adventures you all had?"

Billy put an arm around his only child and said. "Yes, but it's the adventures you know about, there are others you don't."

JJ looked around at every one and said. "I know mom is still alive, well in a sense any way. She is in all our hearts... That's what Grandpa told me anyway. He said that if you love some one enough, just close your eyes real tight and you will see that the person you miss the most is inside of you."

Billy smiled proudly at his son, that had been the same thing that his father, Jason Joel's grandfather, had told him when his own mother passed away when he was younger. He was grateful for the support system he had at raising his son. Jason patted the boy on the back and told him. "That's right little man, don't ever forget it. Your mom was an amazing person."

Jason Joel looked around again at the people at the table as Adam's children came running up behind him. "I wonder if it will be our destinies to be Power Rangers some day? Just like you guys? I mean because there's two girls, and soon to be, three boys. That's the entire team, well almost."

Tanya ran a hand over her stomach and said. "Jason, I think there is plenty of time for this little guy to be part of a team, just remember you all are much older then he is. Besides I am not saying it's not possible because anything is. I never thought I would be a Power Ranger, and I was."

Jason pointed at the former Yellow Turbo Ranger and said. "Justin was quite a bit younger then the rest of you."

Adam, Tommy, Rocky and Tanya looked at each other and Tommy told them. "Good point."

Skull looked around at them and said. "You guys told the kids?"

Billy explained. "Four eavesdroppers. They listened in when we were talking about having this reunion a month ago. Jason and I were talking and one of us said 'Ranger reunion'. The unfortunate part is my child put two and two together very quickly and straight up asked us if we had been Power Rangers. So as long as he kept the secret we told him about them. And his big mouth told Adam's son, and then the girls. So until further notice these four are grounded. And WILL keep their mouths shut. Now no one will believe the twins since they are so young, but the boys... well."

Leonard Park looked at his father and Billy with a crestfallen look, he told his dad. "I won't tell any one else dad."

Adam pointed at his son and said sternly. "You had better not, if I find out other wise there will be sever consequences. We all made a vow never to revel the identities of the Power Rangers. You and Jason had no business listening in."

Rocky told his old friend. "He ain't gonna say nothin are ya? Lighten up Adam, Leonard isn't gonna say a word."

Adam looked over at Rocky and told him flatly. "You were there that day too Rocky, the three of us made a vow, and I will be damned if it gets out."

Tanya rolled her eyes and said. "Rocky's right Adam, back off. It will be alright. Besides what is Zordon going to do? Take our powers away?"

Adam sat back in his seat in defeat, he lost that argument and he knew it. Jason rolled his eyes and told Kim. "I am not sure who the bigger kid is at this table? The 8 year old or the adult?"

Every one chuckled at that as they continued to talk about the old days. Jason Joel came up to them again and asked his dad.

"Dad, can we go visit mom now? You promised we would."

Billy looked at his watch and saw it was now early evening, he looked around at his friends and said. "What do you think guys? Want to join us?"

No one said no as every one got into cars and trucks. Driving to the grave yard didn't take long, it had rained the night before so the ground was soggy. Adam held one of his daughters while Tommy carried the other little girl. No need in them getting muddy. A big wreath was hanging over the head stone that had bright yellow flowers on it. Little Dana said to every one from Tommy's arms.

"That lots of yellow." The little four year old pointed to all the yellow flowers that were around the grave site. Billy smiled to her and said.

"Yes Dana, that is a lot of yellow, but that was Trini's favorite color."

Every one stood around the grave and just stood silently and enjoyed each others company. The weather had cooled off and clouds rolled in; after several moments Billy said.

"You know what, I come out here every year to put flowers on her grave. This is the first time I have had company."

Jason playfully swatted his friend in the back of the head. "Hey!"

"OK OK, Jason comes too! Jeez Jase don't take my head off!"

The others chuckled at that, Skull walked up to the group, Billy saw tears in the man's eyes

"You OK?"

Skull nodded and said. "The last time I came out here... was on the one year anniversary of her being gone. I still can't believe it. When I am behind the bar back at the Youth Center, I half expect to see her walk in."

Jason Joel looked up at his father. "Dad, she loved the Youth Center didn't she?"

Billy put a hand on his shoulder and said softly. "Yes she did, thanks guys for this meeting. It meant a lot. Coming back here and talking about the old memories makes me feel that she isn't really gone. She was a gifted person with so much love in her heart and soul. I was proud to call her my friend as a child, a team mate as a Ranger, and a wonderful fiancee."

As the group said their good-byes a lone figure stood near the trees watching them smiling proudly, she noticed how the two little girls kept looking in her direction. But no one else could see her. She knew that her son was going to grow up to be a fine young man with the aid of their friends. Trini Kwan continued to watch over her friends and family as the years rolled by...
