"What is she doing?" Casey asked, looking down as Kaylee and Lily seemed to fade into a dream world.
"She's showing Kaylee her memories," Ronny explained.
"Okay..."
"She has Kaylee's memories, from talks and the physical contact... she knows how to return them to Kaylee," Ronny smiled, looking down at her two sisters.
Kaylee suddenly screamed, pulling away from Lily before the memories were complete.
"Stop..." she whispered.
"Kayl... you have to see it," Lily told her. "I know it hurts..."
"Stop... please stop..." Kaylee whispered, pulling away further.
"What's going on?" Tori asked.
"I gave her the good memories back," Lily started. "But I can't get her to sit through the bad ones... she needs them back if we want the regular Kaylee."
"Well, what are you working on?" Ronny frowned, turning to Kaylee who was curled up in a corner, looking at her friends. She remembered who they all were, but there were still gaps in her memory. She felt vulnerable and scared.
"The closet... the second time around," Lily said. "When Dustin locked her in..."
"So, you got past the actual memory?" Tori asked.
"Yeah... but she needs this one... she won't sit through it... she can't..."
Tori nodded, approaching Kaylee.
"Remember me?" she asked.
Kaylee nodded, but pulled farther away.
"Those memories Lily's showing you... they aren't real... Kaylee, please, you have to sit through it. I promise you'll be okay."
Kaylee nodded and Lily walked back over to her, pulling her back into the memories.
The Rangers watched as Kaylee started thrashing around. All the bad memories were returning to her. Tori knew Kaylee was going to be in a mood when she was finally pulled out, so she pulled Ducky and Farting Monkey in close.
"As much as she loves those," a voice smiled from the door as Kira leaned against it. In front of her was a twin stroller, with the twins inside. Behind her, the Rangers could hear someone grunting as they walked up the stairs. "I think this guy's going to give a lot more love."
Kira turned, but Conner wasn't there yet. "Geez, McKnight, could you be any slower?"
"You try lifting this thing up the stairs!" Conner growled, still not in sight.
"Kira? What are you doing here?" Theo asked.
"Well, I opened the newspaper yesterday morning and saw my best friend was dying," Kira smirked, showing the teen the paper. "Now, I may be the bitch sister, but I'm still a sister. I couldn't stay in Reefside when I know Kaylee's dying... or dead... or... what are you guys doing?"
Kira pointed to Lily and Kaylee, who were in the center of the room, holding hands and lost in the memories.
"Um... she's alive?" Kelly laughed. "Lily's giving her her memories back."
"Ignoring," Kira shrugged, turning back to the stairs. "Are you still not here, Conner? Geez, for the Ranger with super speed, you're painfully slow!"
Conner finally made it to the top of the stairs and fell over as a big, blue bear fell on top of him.
"Carrying this thing is just like carrying you nine months in," Conner growled, glaring up at his wife as he pushed the bear off him. "Except he's not heavy, just wide!"
"Oh, you're totally going to regret that one day," Kira frowned, gently kicking her husband. Conner groaned in pain as he stood up and threw the bear over the handrail.
"There, it's in the loft, can I sleep now?" he asked.
Summer and Sam started wailing and Conner groaned.
"Please?" he asked, knowing Kira was going to rope him into changing their diapers.
"I'm too fat to do anything," Kira growled, walking over to the others.
"Is this everyone?" she asked Tori. "Ronny's here, you're here, Kelly's here, Lily's... here?"
"Um... it's a long story," Engel laughed, patting Kira on the back.
"Leanne's not here," Kelly frowned. "Which is weird... she's Kaylee's master."
Engel cleared her throat.
"Other master," Kelly corrected herself.
"Now that I've thought about it, I haven't heard from Leah at all in the past little while," Blake frowned, checking his phone for any sign of his foster sister. "She told me she would call when she made it in Ocean Bluff... she still hasn't... and she left yesterday."
"She's a big girl, she can handle herself," RJ assured the navy Ranger. "Right now, I want to know why there's a big, blue bear on my training mat."
"Oh, that thing?" Kira asked. "It's Kaylee's bear. She leaves it at my house now that Karly's around... that cat and this bear don't get along!"
Ronny looked over at her bag, where her lucky socks were hiding. That demon cat had better not have come with the Rockstar.
Kaylee screamed once more as she was slowly pulled out of the dream. Everyone in the room jumped at the sound of her voice.
Kaylee opened her eyes, remembering the flashbacks all too well as they sank in. She pulled her knees to her chest before spotting the big blue bear.
"Oh my God!" she yelled, running to the bear and jumping on it, hugging the bear. It was bigger than she was, there was no doubt about that, and it also looked like it could take her down, given the chance. "I missed you, Insecto!"
"Kaylee!" Tori cried, running over to her sister. Kaylee looked up, spotting her sister.
Both Hanson girls crashed onto the bear, hugging, until Tori was pushed off. She landed beside the bear and laughed.
"So... are you... you now?" she asked her sister, looking up at Kaylee, who was resting on the bear.
Kaylee nodded furiously, jumping on her sister for a hug, "It's me! I promise! I'm back, and I remember..."
"Good," Tori smiled.
The buzzers went off, and the Jungle Rangers ran to the monitors.
"It's Dustin and Camille," Casey announced. "We better go."
"Kayl, you good to go?" RJ asked.
"Oh, I have a few questions that need answering," Kaylee nodded, cracking her knuckles.
"Um, I'll tell you now, Dustin saved you life... he didn't kill you," Lily told the older girl.
"Yahuh," Kaylee growled, turning to leave. "C'mon guys."
As the Rangers left, Engel walked over to the bear and tried to pick it up. Sadly, it was too big for her to do, and she dropped it.
"Are all stuffed bears this size?" she asked.
"No..." Tori groaned. "Only carnival bears."
"Why do they come in such a size?"
"To scare the living crap out of the older sister sleeping on the couch," Tori frowned, patting the bear on the head.
-----Jungle-Fury-----
Down in the city, the Rangers were face to face with Dustin and Camille.
"Hey, if you want to kill me, make sure you go all the way!" Kaylee yelled, standing in front of the others. Dustin had a smile on his face as he looked at Kaylee, alive and well, but Camille stood in shock.
"I thought you killed her."
Dustin had to lie. It was the only way Camille could think he was influenced by Dai Shi at the moment.
"I... I did... her powers must have healed her!" he growled.
"Dustin... I never thought you would go that far," Kaylee frowned. "I thought you loved me."
It was Dustin's turn to be surprised. Kaylee wasn't supposed to remember anything about her life before. He could understand why she would be upset about dying. The others probably told her about it. But she knew he loved her. She couldn't...
"You... you remember?" he asked. He clenched his fist. "How do you remember."
"Friends," Kaylee frowned. "People who love me... I thought you did too."
Lily walked up to Kaylee, explaining everything Dustin did in her ear. She knew Kaylee had a right to be angry, her fiancé pretty much killed her for 24 hours, but she didn't want Kaylee to hate Dustin for what he had to do to save her.
Dustin's blood was boiling. It was Lily. She made Kaylee remember. He didn't know how, or why, but he knew she would have something to do with it.
The reason he gave Kaylee the serum was so that she would forget all the pain she had been through recently. She could start over, happy. She wouldn't remember Sammy's death, nor would she remember Dustin loving her. She wouldn't remember Dai Shi taking over his body, and she wouldn't remember him choosing the dark side over her. He wanted to her to be happy, and Lily had stepped in the way.
Kaylee's eyes widened as she listened to the truth. Suddenly, Lily was pulled away from her by Dustin. Kaylee tried protecting her sister, but Camille jumped in the way.
"If I want you dead, I'll have to kill you myself!" she yelled, summoning Rinshi to keep the boys busy while she and Dustin took on the girls.
Dustin threw himself on Lily, knocking her to the ground. He slammed her back into the ground.
"She wasn't supposed to remember!" he yelled, hitting Lily in the jaw. "You made her remember!"
"Dustin, I had to!" Lily yelled, grabbing Dustin's fist to keep him from hurting her again, but Dustin was too strong for her.
"She had to be happy! She had to forget! It was the only way!"
Lily managed to squirm out from under Dustin and tried to run, but Dustin grabbed her foot and tripped her. He pulled her back up and threw her into the wall.
"You've ruined it!" he yelled, hitting her in the face, making her nose bleed. Lily growled, pushing him away, but Dustin slammed her into the wall, unleashing his animal spirit. The lion jumped out at Lily, clawing at her.
"LILY!" Casey yelled, finishing his Rinshi and running over to the cheetah. He pulled Dustin away and prepared himself for a fight, but Dustin could only stare at Lily.
Hurt.
"I... I..." he stammered, backing away, holding his head. "I... I'm so sorry, Lily... I... I didn't mean... I'm..."
Dustin looked down at his hands in shame. He had lost it. Dai Shi was dormant at the moment. His actions against Lily... they were his own.
"I'm sorry, Lily... I'm really... really sorry."
He ran off towards Camille, pulling her and Kaylee apart, before running into the distance.
Casey helped Lily to her feet, holding her close as the others gathered.
"Are you okay?" Kaylee asked. Lily nodded.
"Ronny's going to be motherly when I get home, but I think I'll live."
"What was that about?" Dom asked.
-----Jungle-Fury-----
"I knew it!" Camille smiled as she and Dustin stopped running. "I knew you had the power to fight against the Rangers... it just took time."
"I can't believe I did that," Dustin frowned, looking down at his hands, covered in Lily's blood.
"Well, now that you're officially one of us..."
"I'm not!" Dustin yelled.
"Dustin, master, you beat the yellow Ranger. Do you really think they'll want you back? Will Kaylee really want to take you back after hurting her little sister?"
Dustin thought for a moment. Kaylee was protective of all her sister, especially Tori and Lily.
"I guess not," he sighed.
"Come on... Jellica's alone in the temple... who knows what she's up to," Camille smiled, kissing Dustin quickly and taking his hand, leading him off.
-----Jungle-Fury-----
"You know, I'm totally renaming this team," David laughed, finishing with the bandages for Lily. "Mighty Hospital Power Rangers."
"This is, by far, the worst team I've been on," Kaylee sighed, sitting on Blue Bear's lap (it was that big). "I'm losing everything..."
"Not everything," Kira smiled, sitting beside her friend. "You still have the six of us, and Engel, and the guys, even the babies are here for you."
"Yeah... I guess," Kaylee put her head on Kira's shoulder. "But I almost did you everything... if I couldn't remember..."
"Let's not think about it, okay?" Lily smiled. "I wouldn't have let that happen. I've spend too many nights listening to you rant about life, good and bad. That is not going to waste."
"I owe you so much, Lils," Kaylee looked over to the young girl. "Remind me to take you out to a million lunches."
"Can do," Lily nodded.
"Hey, speaking of you seven girls, Leanne still hasn't called yet... I'm really starting to worry," Blake spoke up, looking at his phone.
"I texted her, I'm still waiting for an answer," Tori told her husband.
"I've got a bad feeling about Kit," Engel announced, looking to the sky. "Dustin has four of the eyes... if the starlight shone through them... we may have a huge problem on our hands."
"Master Phant asked me to teach his daughter a dance routine... I'll ask him if he's heard from Leanne when he comes to pick up Gabby," Lily said. "I guess we have to wait until then. Maybe she's gone on some kind of Master/Sensei retreat."
"No... Hunter would have been going too," Blake shook his head.
"He's not a sensei and a Master," RJ reminded the motocrosser.
"I'm sure it's nothing," Dom smiled.
"I hope so," Kaylee nodded. "I don't think I can deal with anymore problems..."
"I'm just glad you remember them," Conner said.
"Oh, and I heard you call Kira fat," Kaylee frowned. "Fat jokes are reserved for Tori."
"They... are?" Conner asked.
"Yes... okay, Kelly gets the redhead jokes, I pull most of my pranks on Leah, Tori gets the fat jokes, Kira gets the bitch jokes and Ronny gets the rest. Lily gets nothing because I owe her a million lunches," Kaylee explained.
"There are too many of you..." Conner groaned.
