A/N: here's the next chapter; and thanks to all those that reviewed. You guys are awesome
The next few days passed by very quickly; before they knew it was already Sunday, time for them to be heading out. They had all agreed to meet at the café at around noon. Tommy, Kat and Hayley were the first to arrive, and Connor showed up five minutes later with everyone else.
"So how are we going to do this?" Ethan asked.
"Well, I've got Kat and Hayley with me," Tommy said, "Connor, how many people can you hold?"
"I can hold about four, I think," he said.
"I call shotgun," Ethan yelled as he raced around to the passenger side of the car.
"I can ride with Dr O and Hayley," Krista said.
"Alright, everybody got everything?" Tommy asked.
"Yep" they replied.
"Good, let's go."
The drive to Angel Grove was only about an hour, give or take minutes, so everyone took that time to listen to music and talk about the upcoming reunion.
Connor's Car
"So Connor," Trent started, "You seemed really excited about this Belle girl coming to see you."
"I am," he paused, "She really is a lot of fun you know. She can make you smile even if you're having the worst day."
"I have a question," Angie said.
"Shoot," Connor replied.
"Why were you so rude to Kat?"
At her question, Connor's hand tightened on the steering wheel. He felt the rush of anger flow through him and tried to control before he did something stupid, like crash his car. Kira leaned forward in her seat and lightly touched his arm. When he relaxed slightly, she felt a small burst of joy, but shook it off and focused on him, "Connor?"
"I just don't like her," he sighed, "If I tell you guys something will you promise to not say anything to anybody?"
The others looked at each other and nodded, but Ethan spoke for all of them, "We promise."
"The truth is I kinda know Kat."
"How," Trent asked.
"Kat said she was living in England for awhile right?"
"Yea"
"Well I had a soccer game over there awhile back," he said, "And let's just say that the way in which I got to know her weren't good."
"Did you guys date or something?" Trent asked stupidly.
"Ew, no that's disgusting," he shuddered, "That would be like Kira with Dr O or you with Michelle."(A/N: Michelle meaning former Elsa—Elsa's real name was Michelle Santos)
Trent closed his eyes to ward off the mental picture.
"Look, Kat doesn't know me, and I can't tell you guys what happened or why I hate her," he paused, "At least not yet."
"Alright bro," Ethan said, "But you know you're answering questions later?"
"Yea, besides," he smirked, "I have a feeling all of your questions will be answered at the reunion."
"Why do you say that?" Kira asked.
"Oh, no reason"
Connor had this look on his face. It was the look of someone who had the power to ruin lives and knew that they had it. Simply put, it was a look that was filled with pure mischief.
"You know something don't you," Trent said, "Something big."
"Let's just say this reunion will be that in more ways than one, and there will be more fireworks than the fourth of July."
Tommy's Jeep
As the others were talking, Krista looked at Kat and saw that despite the fact she was happy, there seemed to be something bugging her. She also couldn't help but wonder why Connor had been so rude to her since he came back. Before she even realized it, she was asking the question that was on her mind.
"You know, I still can't figure out what's up with Connor."
"I've never known Connor to be that rude," Hayley said.
"Me either," Tommy frowned, "I wonder what that was about."
"I don't know," Kat said softly.
Krista turned to Kat, "Have you ever met Connor?"
"No, this is the first time I've seen him," she replied, then thought to herself, 'Although, something about him does seem familiar.'
"Well if you guys have never even met each other, then why was he acting like that?" Krista asked.
"I don't know," Tommy said, "But I'm going to find out."
After that the ride was quiet. Before they knew it, they pulled up in front of the youth center where they were meeting Jason and the others. When they got out of the car, they saw that Connor and the others were just pulling up.
"Hey Dr O, is this where we're supposed to meet them?" Kira asked.
"Yea let me just—
He started to say but was cut off by a female's voice, "TOMMY!"
That was all the warning he got before a yellow blur rushed into his arms. He looked down and seeing the braids, wrapped his arm around her, "Hey Sha."
He looked up to see the others coming out of the youth center and Rocky shaking his head.
"Sha, could you let go so we could greet him?"
She shook her head stubbornly, "No, if I let go, we won't see him again until a few years or months from now."
"Sha, if you don't let go, I'll call Kim and tell her not to come," Jason said.
At that not only did Aiesha looked towards him, but everyone else except Tommy and the Reefside gang.
"You wouldn't," Adam said.
"Jason, honey I love you," Trini started, "But if you threatened that again you won't have any kids, understand?"
The others laughed at the look on his face, and he nodded. The kids stood there watching their teacher and his friends interact, too stunned to move. Standing in front of them was the original twelve rangers. Seeing the look on the kids face, Zach nudged Tommy, "Forgot something bro?"
Tommy turned and smacked his forehead, "Oh right, guys come here."
They looked too stunned, and couldn't manage more than a few steps.
"Guys there are the DT rangers," He started, "This is Connor, our leader and holder of the T-Rex powers; this is Kira, our yellow Pterodactyl; Ethan, out blue Triceratops; and Trent, our white Drego."
"Well, I guess I'll finish the rest of the introductions," Hayley said, "I'm Hayley, I helped Tommy create the morphers; this is Angie, Ethan's girlfriend and Krista a friend of the kids."
"Ok, since I was the leader, I'll introduce," Jason said, "I'm Jason and I was the original red ranger and the gold zeo; Trini was our first morphin; Billy was the blue morphin and ninjetti, and Zeo tech advisor; Zach was the first morphin black; Aiesha was our second morphin yellow; Adam was our second morphin black, Zeo green and first green Turbo; Rocky was our second morphin, and blue Zeo; Tanya was our yellow Zeo and first yellow Turbo; this is Angela, Zack's girl."
"Hey wasn't there another pink?" Trent asked, "And another blue?"
"Yep, but Justin, our turbo blue, couldn't make it," Tanya said, "And Kim's not going to be here until tomorrow."
"Which I can't wait for," Zach said. At his statement, the others gave shouts of joy and started planning for the return of their friend.
"I take it you guys really miss her," Kira said.
"We haven't seen her in almost a year," Adam said.
"And this reunion won't be any fun until she gets here," Tanya said.
"What's she like?" Ethan asked.
"Oh you guys are going to love her," Rocky said, "She's one of the nicest people you'll ever meet, and she can make a dull situation fun."
"Well from what you guys are saying, she does sound like someone I'd like to meet," Krista said.
Billy turned to Kira and said, "I think you'll like her especially."
"Yea, why is that?"
Trini looked at her, "Well because both you and Kim handled the Pterodactyl powers—
"And she plays the guitar like you do," Tommy said.
"Really" Kira asked.
"Hey why don't we go to the park?" Rocky suggested.
At that everyone turned and walked off towards the park. Zach grabbed his radio, while the others grabbed the rest of the gear. They walked until they came upon their regular hangout, which was a little out of the way, so no one really passed by there. They chose that spot because it gave them a chance to talk freely without any interruptions. They spread the stuff out and relaxed.
A/N: it's kind of short, but I just wanted to get the introductions out of the way
A/N 2: well the gang's excited about Kim coming home. Coming up, Connor continues to be mean to Kat, and someone picks up on the tension radiating from Trini and Aiesha when it comes to Kat
A/N 3: this is as far as I got, but I will be writing more and I probably won't be able to post the next chapter until tomorrow or Thursday, so keep reading and reviewing
