Troy carried his lunch tray around the cafeteria looking for signs of his teammates. After his trip to Panorama he was motivated to get to know them a little better. If he was going to risk opening himself up to anyone, it might as well be the people he trusted with his life.

At least, he might as well make it the people he needed to trust with his life.

He found them all sitting together at a table. Jake had somewhat alienated himself from his soccer friends in recent weeks. Since scoring for the wrong team and costing the school a win against Panorama High, most of the team didn't want much to do with him, especially as rumours started to circulate that Jake's mistake had been intentional.

Jake also didn't want to hang out with his soccer friends. Mick and Alex were both on the team, and Jake wanted to keep as much distance from them as he could.

Noah didn't have many friends outside of Jake, so he usually ate his lunch with his best friend. He was a member of a couple of clubs, but the other members preferred to eat while they worked on experiments or projects together. Noah joined them on occasion but for the most part he stuck with Jake.

Gia and Emma were always together, no matter what. Troy had no doubt they would be eating together. To see them all at one table was a little shocking and Troy realized he had likely missed out on some team bonding moments that had already occurred, choosing instead to spend some time alone or to train. He would have some serious work to do to get himself into the Ranger social group.

His team's smiles as he sat down were encouraging. He took the seat at the head of the table, where he thought he would be a little more included. Then, he noticed everyone had a meal from the cafeteria except for Emma, who seemed to have packed herself a lunch.

"No money?"

Emma shook her head, "There's only one vegetarian option."

"You're a vegetarian?"

"It would be hypocritical to preach about saving the environment and taking care of animals, and then turn around and eat meat," Gia stated and glared teasingly at Emma. The pink Ranger sighed and turned to Troy.

"I couldn't imagine eating any animals, especially given the way some of them are treated before they die."

"Don't even get her started on organic vs. non-organic," Gia whispered. "We'll be here all day."

"I think it's pretty cool," Troy said with a smile, "but, I don't think I could give up burgers."

"It's not for everyone," Emma laughed and turned her attention to Gia, "Right?"

Gia rolled her eyes, "You always say I won't be able to tell the difference, and I…"

"Always do. You know, it is healthier, right?"

"You know, I can eat bacon," Gia bit into her burger with a smirk.

"So, Troy, what's up," Jake asked as he shifted the conversation back over to Troy. "Aren't you normally in the gym or something?"

"I thought I would hang out with you guys today. Turns out, you were on the right path with the whole team getting together for the dance. It's good we get to know each other."

Jake was reminded about his news for Gia and turned to her happily, "By the way, Troy's coming."

"Didn't I just say that?" Troy asked as he leaned into Noah. The blue Ranger sighed.

"Don't worry, delusions aren't contagious."

Gia gave Jake a little smile, "I guess that means we're all going to the dance. It should be… fun…"

"You don't sound too excited," Noah sat up straighter in his seat. Gia set her burger down and picked at her fries. Emma placed her hand on her friend's back.

"You guys understand."

"You can tell them," Gia whispered to Emma. "Troy's right, it's best we get to know each other."

Emma let out a breath before nodding her head, "Gia had a nightmare about… well…"

"About the dance," this was a detail Gia hadn't shared with Emma just yet. "Let's just say, it was an instant replay of what happened at the party. They usually are."

"So this has happened before?" Noah asked. "Dreams about what happened at the party?"

"Yeah," Gia answered and then looked up and forced herself to smile, "but if we're all going, nothing's going to happen, right?"

"We're going to have fun," Jake assured her. Troy then cleared his throat.

"Uh… speaking of… well, dreams…"

"You have them too?" Emma asked with a look of concern. Troy shook his head.

"Not those kinds of dreams. They're… stranger. They're about… well, us."

"Us?"

"That's creepy," Jake glared at his leader, "We just met. I think you have to know someone a little better before you start dreaming about them."

"This coming from you?" Gia teased. "When's my birthday?"

"Today?"

"Nope."

Troy shook his head, "Guys, these aren't dreams like that. In fact, I wouldn't even call them dreams. Before Gosei ever summoned us, I dreamed about the Megaforce Rangers. I dreamt about a lot of other Rangers. Mostly red. I guess I know why, now."

"Have any of your dreams come true?" Noah asked.

"Not exactly. Some of the details have, like the Megaforce Rangers and Gosei, but…"

"Premonitions?" Gia looked to Troy skeptically, "Is that what you're trying to tell us? You're psychic?"

"I don't know," Troy said, "but there's something to it. I just thought I would share. You know, let you guys know why sometimes I'm staring off into space."

"Let us know if one of us is about to die or something," Jake chuckled. "Until then, I like my future to come as a surprise."

"Jake," Emma scolded with a shake of her head and then she touched Troy's arm, "If these dreams do mean something, I'm sure you'll figure it out."

"Yeah," Noah nodded, "If you need any help, I'd love to help you figure them out. Let me know next time you have a freaky dream and we'll try to decipher it."
