Note: So.. Hi Guys! How are you?
Uhm..well. I just want to thank you to keep reading this story and I wouldn't get mad if you review it. Really, I wouldn't. So please review it :D

Enjoy the chapter!

After having such conversation with Mr. Watanabe, Kevin now had new reasons to have nightmares. He had never been so scared neither because of Master Xandred. He was sure Xandred wasn't even that bad.

So the moment when his parents arrived, he hugged them very tightly as though it wouldn't be tomorrow. Her mother naturally hugged him equal but his father kept the calm. Kevin though, didn't care and nothing stopped him to hug his dad.

And as Mia's parents, Kevin's parents were surprised with the grown samurais. Kevin's mother was quieter since she didn't know them because she was out of town with Kevin when the war started so she barely saw her husband's team and more than that, their children. But she greeted them all gently. And Kevin's father was surprised about them since they were just kids when he saw them last time and was impacting how big they were.

"I promise you guys, I won't lose the touch with you again. You've grown up so much"

"Thanks" Lauren smiled. She wasn't sure at all how to answer but at least she was more secure about her words. All the kindest felt…weird.

"Well, I think it's time to dinner" Ji interrupted them as he walked inside the common room.

"Yeah… I agree with you" Kevin's mother said. "Let me help you" She got up and walked with Ji to the kitchen.

In her seat Mia's mother turned to see her husband and said "I'm going to help them, ok?"

"Yeah, it's fine"

Just as the wives left the room to prepare dinner for everyone, the rangers and the two older men stayed in their seats. Silent remained until Mr. Watanabe looked to Lauren

"Girl…uhm would you help me to find my room, please? This house is huge and I can't difference any in here"

Lauren nodded and walked down the hall with Mr. Watanabe. When Kevin saw they were far enough he let out a deep sigh.

"Good he's left" He said to himself.

Mia turned to see Kevin, swearing he had said something but ignored it when Kevin frowned. She was chatting with her brother when Mike came and gave Terry a pat on the shoulder.

"Hey Terence…. you wanna play some video games?"

"Sure" Terry smiled "It's been awhile since I haven't played them"

"Bad for you dude, but c'mon let's play. Hey Jayden c'mon and play with us"

Mike started to connect the cables with Terry's and Jayden's help and Mia rolled her eyes. One thing she never would understand from boys was their love to video games.

The pink Ranger turned to Kevin who was next to her and stroke his cheek "Hey Kev, what are you thinking?"

The blue ranger shook his head as though it was a reply "Me? Uhm…nothing why?"

"cause you've been distracted all afternoon. Are you okay?"

"Yeah fine" Kevin answered. Mia frowned and raised an eyebrow. " Ok, well… I…you're father is kind of scary. No offense "

"My father?" Mia asked confused "Really Kevin? But he's pretty cool"

"Sure…" Kevin sighed

Mia crossed her arms over her chest "What do you mean?"

"Mia…your…have you had a boyfriend before?"

Mia bit her lip and shook her head "Not really… some romantic interests but no…"

Kevin rolled his eyes and said " That explains everything"

"What explain…"

"Kevin come and join us" Terry said as he lifted the fourth controller of the console. Mike turned to looked Terry and then looked up to Kevin.

"Yeah buddy, Antonio's not here so you can take his place"

The blue ranger nodded and took a seat nearer of his friends as Mia just watched the boys play.

Outside the Shiba house, the yellow and gold rangers were sitting on a bench. Emily had her flute in her hands and Antonio was looking to the sky.

Both rangers had decided to go outside for a moment because inside the house was so noisy as though a party was about to start. Emily was tired and very deep inside her she was sad. Mia's and Kevin's parents had come from a far city and now her friends were more than happy. Their parents had hugged them, kissed them and told them how much they had missed them. No one missed Emily- or at least that was on her head.

"And, what about you Antonio?" Emily asked the gold ranger

Antonio just shrugged his shoulders " Nothing…we were talking about you, don't change the topic"

"I'm not" Emily shook her head "It's just we have finished"

"No we ha…"

"Yes. I told you, I don't know anything about my parents and I don't know where they coming… ir if they going to do it"

"I'm sure they will, Em" Antonio wrapped one arm around her.

"Yeah, whatever…Uhm but it's your turn. Tell me about yours"

Antonio shook his head "No, no Em.. We haven't finished with you… do you…"

"Yes Antonio" Emily huffed "I miss them, I want them, but they're not here, ok? Now… I finished it's your turn. You never talk about your family and we're friends you can talk"

The gold ranger sighed and shrugged " I have nothing to say" Emily glared at him and he continued "Ok, fine…I guess…I haven't seen my family in a while"

"Really?..."

Antonio rolled his eyes. Emily this time wrapped her arm around him and asked "C'mon Antonio. It's good to talk; sometimes…it's what we need"

"Yes… but I don't know what to say. What can I tell you? You already know everything"

"Not really" The yellow ranger shook her head " I maybe know you left your family to become Ranger. And to be with your best friend but…I don't know what you have thought." There was a little pause and she continued "You're always smiley and laughing but we can't see the real Antonio…how are you doing?"

"You know…I actually haven't stopped to think on the good side. It's easy when you're the only child and your parents always kept you working on something you have fun. I always try to think positive and in the worst problems try to find something to laugh for. My parents love me very much; I have no doubts…so when I came here to help you I knew it would be for a long time"

"And you never talked to anyone about this? I mean in all this ranger stuff"

"Nou… I did this because of myself. I always dreamed with become a power ranger and help the people, and I was sure if I would say something to my father he would never let me come here. That's why they don't know. That's why I lost touch with them."

"Cause if you had said something, they wouldn't let you come or they would be so sad" Emily added

"Yes" He nodded his head "I thought in them all time"

Emily put her head on his shoulder just to show support. She knew how bad he could be feeling all this years. He always put his family on the top of his priorities and that was admirable. Just as her, his family was important and they would do everything for them; including giving their lives. She always thought Antonio loved his family but didn't care about them so much because he never showed any sign of weakness. He was the spirit of her team in all scenarios. He was the one smiling for everyone.

"You're a very good person Antonio"

Antonio smiled and shook his shoulder slowly to away Emily from him. Then looked her in the eyes "How do we get to this point of the topic?"

"I don't know" Emily chuckled "You were the one talking"

At this moment Mia came from inside and shouted to both rangers " Guys! Dinner is ready!"

"Great!" Emily smiled " Xandred Junior is killing me"

"C'mon Xandred's mom….we have nothing more to wait for" he said grinning.
