Izzy smirked "You mean like you did when we were eleven? No" Javi smiled "You gave him coal?" I asked her causing her to nod "Nice one" I laughed as we high-fived "It's been great, actually." He retorted with a smile "Hey, I thought you finally found a replacement for this key?" Izzy asked him as she noticed a missing key on his keyboard "Nah. I looked all over, but they don't make them anymore." He sighed "Really?" I muttered "That's a shame. You got your secret Santa present ready, right?" Izzy checked "I uh haven't finished my shopping yet," He told her "Haven't finished or haven't started yet?" I laughed "Haven't started" He admitted "Dude Amelia's group calendar has reminded us twice a week for the last three months. We're exchanging them at the base in an hour!" Izzy reminded him "And Amelia will never let it go if you don't have a secret Santa present" I added "Sure I know. I'm gonna go get a gift right now." He told us "Mm-hm" Izzy nodded "Sure Javi" I smirked "I'm gonna head home I have a few more presents to wrap, See ya," Izzy told us before jogging off "See ya" I called after her "Bye Iz" Javi yelled as he finished packing up "So you seriously have nothing for secret Santa?" I asked him "No and I have no idea what to get" He sighed "Who could be that hard to buy for?" I wondered "Nice try you know I'm not allowed to say, Amelia would kill me" Javi laughed "That's fair enough" I agreed as we walked towards the shop "Merry Christmas Santa" Javi called out to the man "And you Javi, And thanks for that wonderful music" Santa smiled at him "Sure" Javi nodded "Hey, can I ask you something? I need to buy a gift for a friend, But I never know what to get" Javi told him "Well finding the perfect present is a tricky thing! I've been doing it forever, and I'm still learning." Santa told him "Well, what was the best give you ever got?" Javi asked "One year, Mrs Clause made these wonderful gloves. They were the perfect gift for keeping my hands warm through long sleigh rides the night! Brrr." Santa answered as he held up his hands to show the gloves "That's sweet" I uttered causing him to smile "Gloves? that's a great gift and the stores are still open" Javi said as he looked at his watch "Oh, I may be able to save you the trouble, young man." Santa told him as he reached down to get something as we watched curiously "My elves gave me this magical sketchbook. Now, I don't love technology, and I can never make Bluetooth work ever. But they say this is easy." He explained as he held up a large notepad "I can draw the idea of a gift, sprinkle a little magic, and it becomes the real thing. Seems pretty powerful huh?" Santa continued causing Javi to nod "Would you like me to make some gloves?" Santa asked him "That is an amazing sketchbook, but no thanks. I don't need help." Javi politely declined "I know exactly what to get and I've got enough money to get the best" He smiled as he pulled out some money "Then good luck Javi" Santa smiled "Bye Santa" Javi yelled as he grabbed my hand and began walking off "Cya Santa" I laughed./p

"There you two are" Zayto greeted as he turned away from the Christmas tree and spotted us "Finally" Izzy laughed "Wow, Guys, the tree looks amazing!" Javi complimented "Yeah not bad" I agreed earning a smile from the four "And I've got just the right topper." Javi told them as he bent down to open his keyboard case "Oh what ya got?" Ollie asked Javi pulled out a gold star with a thick purple outline "Aw, Nice touch" Izzy awed as Javi walked towards the tree and reached up placing the star on top "Now it's complete" Izzy giggled. Amelia teleported into the base "Sorry I'm late, fam. Check out all these Christmas cards Buzzblast collected from power rangers fans." She called out as she turned the sack she had upside down spilling loads of cards all over the floor "Wow. So much love for our team" Ollie commented as we all crouched down to look through the cards "Thanks for bringing them, Amelia" Zayto thanked her "What time do I need to be at your mum's tonight?" Amelia asked me "She said to be there half nine" I told her "She also wanted me to ask if you received the dress, shoes and accessories she wanted you to wear?" I asked her "Yeah I did,What colour did she buy for you cause I got red" She wondered "Atleast that's close to pink I got green, which we both know ain't my colour" I smirked"Yeah it's totally gonna clash with your hair" Amelia joked making me smile "Where is Solon? I'm ready to open up these presents" Aiyon said as he stood back up looking for the dinosaur "Wait did you sort your gift out?" Izzy asked her brother. He nodded as he showed the group the gloves "Uh those are human gloves, Solon has claws" Ollie stated "Aw man, I knew I'd blow it. I've always been bad at picking gifts." Javi sighed "What do I do? Solon deserves a nice gift" He wondered "Don't worry. We'll go find a gift for you to give to Solon" Amelia assured him as I moved over to the tree to put my secret Santa gift for Amelia under the tree "Stay here and stall her until we get back" Izzy told him "You guys are the best" Javi smiled at them as the five teleported out "Don't worry they'll find something" I reassured him with a kiss "Where'd everybody go?" Solon asked as she entered the main room "I thought we were gonna open presents, You guys are too old for hide and seek, Aren't you?" She continued "The others went out to get some last-minute things" I covered "Wanna sing some carols?" Javi offered "Oh if only I was musical like you two." She sighed "Knowing how to play all those different songs is impressive, Especially with a missing key too. But please, no Christmas carols." Solon asked us, "It makes me sad that I can't sing along" She admitted "Solon" I uttered as I side-hugged her "Well, Why not?" Javi asked, "I get too nervous to remember the words, It makes it tough to feel the Christmas spirit." She explained, "Oh, What's all this stuff?" Solon wondered as she noticed the pile of cards on the floor "Oh these are holiday greetings from all the fans of the power rangers. Let's see what we got?" Javi suggested as he reached down to grab an envelope "Oh, How lovely. Cards are so much more personal than emails" Solon agreed as Javi walked towards the table, I nodded at her as Javi opened the card and a blue energy wave burst out "What the fuck" I yelled as anything with electricity began to short circuit "What just happened?" Javi asked as I examined my morpher "I wanna sound mean and tough" Mucus's voice sounded out from a hologram in the card "Ok, I'm ready, Is it recording? Oh, It is! Ohh" Mucus continued "Uhh" Solon jumped "That's Mucus, Shes back?" Javi stated, "Is that even possible?" I asked "Ho-Ho-Ho, Rangers. Slyther and I hope you got our special gift. It'll light up your base like a Christmas tree! Kaboom!" Mucus cheerfully exclaimed, "But you can't have a gift without a card, So we sent this to disable your comms and teleporters!" Mucus taunted "She right" I groaned as I tried to contact someone "There's no escape now. Merry explosives, Rangers" Mucus laughed "And cut," Mucus said again before being replaced with a ten-minute countdown "It's a countdown we only have ten minutes before the whole base explodes!" Solon worriedly exclaimed, "No one has seen Mucus and Slyther since we destroyed Void Knight." Javi stated "Yeah" Solon agreed, "I thought they were gone," Javi said "The computer maybe it can tell us just how badly we've been hit" Solon suggested as the two raced over "Is that what we should be focusing on right now?" I asked but they ignored me "All of our comms and teleporting systems really are down. We're stuck in here with a ticking time bomb" Solon confirmed "We need to find it" Javi stated "And fast, But where do we start?" Solon asked "The presents?" I piped up pointing to the presents under the tree "Mucus said it was a gift, What if they switched a secret Santa gift?" I continued "So you think one of these gifts could be an explosive?" Solon wondered "It's the only option we have right now" I shrugged "So, which gift is rigged to blow?" Javi wondered as he picked up a gift wrapped in blue wrapping paper "For Izzy let's see what's in it" Javi said "Here we go" Solon nodded as he opened it "An electronics kit?" Javi uttered "When Izzy was struggling with her electronics class, you and Ollie helped her and she aced her test" Javi remembered "Well It ain't from me so this has gotta be from Ollie" I figured "So it's totally not the explosive" I concluded, "Let's try the gift from Ollie next?" I suggested as I picked it up "Cute wrapping paper" Javi commented "No prizes for guessing who it's from" I laughed before opening it "Hopefully it doesn't come with a cute explosion" Solon hoped as I opened it "Oh?" Solon said "A rain poncho, made to look like a ghost?" Javi asked as I laughed "Nice" I smirked as Solon let out a small laugh "Amelia told me how she and Elouise met Ollie" Solon told Javi "She thought she saw a ghost and tried to catch it, But turned out it was just Ollie wearing this poncho" Solon laughed "She even electrocuted him" I added with a smirk "She knows exactly how to push his buttons." Javi laughed "Those two gifts are safe" Javi confirmed as I put the gift down "Let's look at the gift for Elouise next" Solon suggested picking it up "Huh" Solon wondered as she opened it "A hot chocolate gift set, Who got you that?" Javi asked I thought for a moment "It could be Aiyon" I guessed "Why would Aiyon give you hot chocolate?" Solon wondered "Hm oh do you remember when we were fighting against that plant sporix with the mist and I stayed up late working on the antidote," I asked them "Yeah why?" Javi nodded "Well Aiyon couldn't sleep either so I introduced him to hot chocolate," I told them"Is that where my marshmallows went?" He asked "Maybe" I smiled at him "Well at least we know this isn't the explosive" Solon said as she put it with the others "That's three down, Four more to go" Javi nodded I picked up the gift I got from Amelia and opened it "Well this isn't the explosive" I confirmed, "What is it?" Solon asked as Javi picked it up "Ghost hunting 101 and Ghost hunting for dummies" Javi read "Who got her that if it wasn't Ollie" Solon wondered "I did" I smiled "Why?" Solon asked "We always buy those kinds of gifts for each other it's tradition" I shrugged. Solon grabbed another box "Less than five minutes until it blows" Javi announced looking at the countdown "Shit, We're running out of time" I mumbled Try this one" Solon said holding out the box "What is it?" Javi asked as we looked inside which had another box, I reached in and pulled off the lid "Whoa! Frosty!" Solon commented as Javi grabbed something from the box he looked at the label and let out a sigh of relief "It's home-made ice cream for Aiyon" He read "Of course, he loves the stuff" I said "Yeah, Aiyon helped save a runaway ice cream cart at the beach, Then he got offered free ice cream and took full advantage" Javi remembered, "What flavour is it?" I wondered "Flargon flavoured. What's that?" Javi asked Solon "Oh Flargon is a Rafkon delicacy! Only Zayto would know that; It must be from him." She concluded "Good thinking Solon" Javi praised her as I grabbed another that was for Zayto "This is for Zayto," I said as Javi opened it "Oh my a hand-stitched punching bag" Solon exclaimed as Javi handed it to her before pulling out a shirt "And a gym shirt with some, um, uh unique needlework." Solon commented "Considering it says Izzy's gym, I think we know who got Zayto this" I noted "Izzy's become a great trainer. She must have made this new gear for Zayto. How thoughtful" Solon said "Well only one gift left" I pointed out as Javi picked up the last gift which was for him and opened it "Oh wow, the missing key!" Javi stated as he picked it up "Yep, I custom-made it for your keyboard." She explained as Javi walked over to his keyboard "I hope it fits" Solon nervously uttered as he tried it out "That's an amazing gift Solon" Javi smiled at her "Oh you're welcome. But I'm afraid it won't be much use if we can't find that bomb" She reminded us "Right, Mucus said the explosive was a gift..." Javi said "But we've gone through all the gifts in the base" I pointed out "So which ones the bomb" He groaned "There's no way one of them is an explosive" I sighed "Nothing else has come into the base." Solon stated "Wait" I realized "The star on the tree," Javi said at the same time and I immediately raced over to get it "Someone dropped it in my case while I was playing carols.
It's a gift, that guy must have been Slyther in disguise." Javi guessed "That's got to be it," I said as I joined them "How do we get rid of it?" Javi frantically asked "We only have 30 seconds" I stated "Wait I've got it," Solon said as she took the star out of his hands before rushing towards the chest where the sporix we held "If our chest can contain sporix, let's hope it can handle an explosion" Solon suggested as she quickly placed it in the chest before turning to move away "get down" Javi yelled as the explosion went off "That was way to close" I muttered as the explosion died down "No kidding. But our systems are... they're back online" Solon stated as the lights on the systems switched back on "Hey does anyone copy, You guys okay?" I asked into the comms "Man am I glad to hear your voice! Hang tight we've got a spider to catch" Zayto replied "A spider" Javi wondered. "Solon where are they?" I asked and the dinosaur quickly began searching for the others. Once Solon found them we both morphed and teleported to meet them/p

Slyther yelled. I activated the hyper dino key as the others activated their own boost sleeves before fighting off the hengemen, "Why are you so good at ruining everything?!" Slyther whinned "No more tricks, Hand over santa's book Slyther" Zayto told Slyther "But tricks are literally my thing, Observe" Slyther countered as he chucked the notebook making it grow somehow "All these pages, I can fill with monsters. but what next? Ah I got it! I'll draw the greatest monster of them all!" he announced before jumping up to the notebook and drawing a copy of himself "Welcome to the stage, Giant me." The two flashily announced "Hello little me, Shall I sprinkle some pain?" The giant Slyther asked as he turned to the smaller version "Guess it's zord time-again?" Zayto sighed "Dinomigo Zord Megazord mode" I yelled as the others formed their megazords, We then teleported into the cockpits "You ready for this? Aiyon, Elouise?" Zayto asked us "Hell yeah" I smiled to myself "The faster we can do this the faster we can get to presents!" Aiyon agreed and the three Megazords charged the giant Slyther "Step right up" Slyther taunted us, As we fought with Slyther announcing his every move Aiyon and I charged at Slyther and managed to get the upperground and threw him up into the air allowing the others solo zords to repeatedly attacked him before coming back together to form the megazord and using the megafury sabre to destroy the giant Slyther "Dino fury victory" we chorused "Oh yeah, present time" Aiyon cheered./p

But the most important thing is the bad guys didn't get my book" Santa waved off his apology "We're happy to help! Merry Christmas" Zayto happily said "Hey, can we open presents now?" Javi asked "Yes finally" Aiyon loudly cheered and we each went to grab our gifts for each other I handed Amelia hers as we both watched Oliie open his "So that's where my poncho disappeared to" Ollie joked as Aiyon gave me my present "Enjoyed your present?" I asked Aiyon who had Ice cream around his face "Obviously, it's ice cream" he smiled, Izzy interrupted us before pointing over to Javi and Solon "You said you got nervous and forgot the words of songs. When we were little, our family sung carols with this songbook. It's always helped me get into the Christmas spirit. Now it'll do the same for you." Javi told her "Thank you Javi, Can we sing one now?" She happily asked "Of course" Javi agreed. The eight of us and Santa sat around singing carols for a few hours/p

I asked he nodded "Well Dani has decided that she will tell me everything if I went to this damn event" I sighed "Why does she want you to go so badly" He wondered as I dried my hair "Uhm I don't know for certain but I think it has to do with my ex" I admitted "Your ex? Should I be worried" He joked looking at me I laughed "Deffinetly don't need to worry he's horrible" I assured him with a kiss before walking into the bathroom to put on the dress "My ex being there is the whole reason I'm forcing Amelia to come so she can be a buffer and since its normal for her to be with me it wont annoy Dani" I told him as I put the dress on "Can you zip the back up?" I asked him "Of course" Javi agreed before zipping the dress up "You look good" He smiled as he kissed my cheek "Shut it" I smirked. After doing my make up and hair I had around fourteen minutes until I had to be at my mums so I decided to go early. Once I said goodbye to Javi I teleported to Dani's house, I walked in and my brother immediately ran towards me "Hey buddy" I signed "How was your trip" I asked "The worse" He signed "I need to tell you something I found in the woods" My brother told me but stopped when Dani walked in "Elouise, you look amazing darling" Dani greeted me warmly, I was about to say something until she looked at Ethan and then motioned to a group of people behind her. I smiled back at her "Thanks mum, you too" I told her although my tone definitely didn't match my words as she hugged me before I had to deal with any more fake niceness Amelia walked in early "Hey Ami" I smiled at her, Ethan noticed her and ran up to give her a hug "Amelia why don't you head into the hall with Ethan I need to speak to Elouise about something" Dani suggested, Amelia looked at me I nodded and the two walked off "I need you to do one more thing and then I'll" She told me "No" I cut her off "What" She asked looking shocked "We agreed I come here and you tell me, Simple as that I'm not doing anything else." I reminded her "don't forget YOU still have to tell Ethan not me" I warned her before walking off. I entered the hall and quickly made my way to Amelia "Where's Ethan?" I asked "He went to get a drink, Left me all alone" She fake cried. for the next two hours everything went fine we had both been able to avoid my ex or Dani until my brother decided to go to bed "Don't you both look nice" Charlie complimented me as he walked towards the two of us "Thanks" Amelia dryly replied as I shrugged "So Elouise, You missing me yet" He cockily asked, Amelia started laughing "Far from it" I admitted "Come on I'm single, you're dating no one. Besides can you get better then me" He smirked "I ain't single and trust me I got far better than you" I smiled at him "As if" he scoffed before laughing "Didn't know you were a liar" Charlie glared at me "Huh, I never said I was single. I don't know where you got that shit from" I told him "Stop lying your mother said you were single and that you wanted me back" He continued "I've barely spoken to my mother since I left home, you know something you still refuse to do because that means you have to look after yourself" I taunted "And I can promise you I would die before I ever want you back" I told him before walking away "Damn" Amelia laughed "Shall we go, I have two tubs of Ice cream, Cozy pj's and a bunch of Christmas movies to watch at my house" I suggested "Please" She nodded and we started making our way towards the exit as we reached the door Dani's voice stopped me "What is wrong with you" She yelled at me "Huh?" I asked her "Charlie told me about what you said to him, How dare you his family is important to our business" She glared at me "Important to your business not mine, And besides I'm not an idiot I know why you wanted me here and it isn't going to work. If you were actually a good "Mum" you'd know I was in a relationship" I reminded her "I'll see you tomorrow when you finally fucking tell me everything or I'm going to tell everyone you know how much of a shitty person you are and your image of being the nice caring responsable lady you make people you think you are" I threatened her before smiling "See you tomorrow Dani" I told her before leaving./p

I was sat in the living room for about fifteen minutes before she returned "So explain" I glared at her "Fine when you were born month after you were born you mother sent me the first letter, When I read It I was confused they both were so excited when they found out my sister was pregnant but here they were suddenly asking me to look after you, I told them that I needed a while to think it through since I never really wanted children" She explained "If you didn't want kids why'd you take me in" I asked her "My husband had always wanted children but was unable too, When I approached him about my sisters offer he was enthusiastic about taking you in. He told me it was the right thing to do since not only would we be helping my sister but that he would be also be able to have a daughter like he'd always wanted" She told me "After thinking it over for two months we went to meet you, My husband was great with you and I could see how much the idea of giving you away was killing both of your parents so I agreed and within the next week we were preparing to bring you home" Dani said "Only your mother was there when we officially became your guardians you father had to work, she couldn't stop crying the whole time she was saying goodbye. As we got on the plane my husband took you and immediately began promising to give you the best life possible over the next few years I tried to form the same connection with you as he did but I just couldn't, you always were more comfortable around him but I knew he wanted me to have good relationship with me if not as a mother but atleast as an aunt." She continued "So up until he died it was what an act?" I wondered "Don't get me wrong I do care about you but I never wanted to be a maternal figure, but once I began distancing myself from you my husband began spending more time with you to make up for the lack of affection on my side" She answered "You say you never wanted to be maternal figure, yet you were the perfect mother for Ethan"I countered she sighed "When you were twelve, My sister got in contact with me she was pregnant again and their job was dying down so they should have been able to finally meet you again but five months after Ethan was born and a month before you were supposed to meet them they got a call and once again we were in the same predicament, Upon learning that Ethan was deaf I surprised myself and agreed to take him in, My husband was just as excited as he was with you. When we arrived home with Ethan you were so excited to have a little brother, and just like my husband had made a promise to you I heard you promising to make sure you would always be there and that if he needed anything he could come to you and I think that was what made me realize how bad I had been to you. But I knew the damage was already done with you so I resolved to do the best for Ethan" She revealed. The two of us fell into a silence "What are my parents like?" I wondered "Your mother despite the way she looks and acts at first glance is one of the nicest people I know, She always makes sure to be there for anyone. Growing up she spent most of her time with her friends at the juice bar in town either teaching dance classes or practicing gymnastics" She stated "Gymnastics?" I asked "Yeah your mother was one of the best in town even got to compete in the pan globle games" Dani told me,I smiled "What about my dad" I asked "Your dad, I didn't know him that well but from what I did know from my sister he was kind, outgoing, friendly and always ready to stand up for someone. he was also insanely good at sports and martial arts, he won quite a few competitions aswell not to mention he and two other of their friends were chosen to be ambassadors at a peace conference in Switzerland" She informed me "You still haven't told me their names, the only thing I know is that my mums name begins with a K or where they are or what they know about me and Ethan" I pointed out Dani pulled out a few pictures before handing them to me "Your parents names are Kimberly and Jason, they live in angel grove and as for what they know about you and your brother they know everything we made sure to keep them up to date on everything" She stated "Will I be able to meet or speak to them ever?" I asked "If you want I can arrange something" She nodded "Yes please" I agreed./p

I looked all over, but they don't make them anymore." He sighed "Really?" I muttered "That's a shame. You got your secret Santa present ready, right?" Izzy checked "I uh haven't finished my shopping yet," He told her "Haven't finished or haven't started yet?" I laughed "Haven't started" He admitted "Dude Amelia's group calendar has reminded us twice a week for the last three months. We're exchanging them at the base in an hour!" Izzy reminded him "And Amelia will never let it go if you don't have a secret Santa present" I added "Sure I know. I'm gonna go get a gift right now." He told us "Mm-hm" Izzy nodded "Sure Javi" I smirked "I'm gonna head home I have a few more presents to wrap, See ya," Izzy told us before jogging off "See ya" I called after her "Bye Iz" Javi yelled as he finished packing up "So you seriously have nothing for secret Santa?" I asked him "No and I have no idea what to get" He sighed "Who could be that hard to buy for?" I wondered "Nice try you know I'm not allowed to say, Amelia would kill me" Javi laughed "That's fair enough" I agreed as we walked towards the shop "Merry Christmas Santa" Javi called out to the man "And you Javi, And thanks for that wonderful music" Santa smiled at him "Sure" Javi nodded "Hey, can I ask you something? I need to buy a gift for a friend, But I never know what to get" Javi told him "Well finding the perfect present is a tricky thing! I've been doing it forever, and I'm still learning." Santa told him "Well, what was the best give you ever got?" Javi asked "One year, Mrs Clause made these wonderful gloves. They were the perfect gift for keeping my hands warm through long sleigh rides the night! Brrr." Santa answered as he held up his hands to show the gloves "That's sweet" I uttered causing him to smile "Gloves? that's a great gift and the stores are still open" Javi said as he looked at his watch "Oh, I may be able to save you the trouble, young man." Santa told him as he reached down to get something as we watched curiously "My elves gave me this magical sketchbook. Now, I don't love technology, and I can never make Bluetooth work ever. But they say this is easy." He explained as he held up a large notepad "I can draw the idea of a gift, sprinkle a little magic, and it becomes the real thing. Seems pretty powerful huh?" Santa continued causing Javi to nod "Would you like me to make some gloves?" Santa asked him "That is an amazing sketchbook, but no thanks. I don't need help." Javi politely declined "I know exactly what to get and I've got enough money to get the best" He smiled as he pulled out some money "Then good luck Javi" Santa smiled "Bye Santa" Javi yelled as he grabbed my hand and began walking off "Cya Santa" I laughed./p

"There you two are" Zayto greeted as he turned away from the Christmas tree and spotted us "Finally" Izzy laughed "Wow, Guys, the tree looks amazing!" Javi complimented "Yeah not bad" I agreed earning a smile from the four "And I've got just the right topper." Javi told them as he bent down to open his keyboard case "Oh what ya got?" Ollie asked Javi pulled out a gold star with a thick purple outline "Aw, Nice touch" Izzy awed as Javi walked towards the tree and reached up placing the star on top "Now it's complete" Izzy giggled. Amelia teleported into the base "Sorry I'm late, fam. Check out all these Christmas cards Buzzblast collected from power rangers fans." She called out as she turned the sack she had upside down spilling loads of cards all over the floor "Wow. So much love for our team" Ollie commented as we all crouched down to look through the cards "Thanks for bringing them, Amelia" Zayto thanked her "What time do I need to be at your mum's tonight?" Amelia asked me "She said to be there half nine" I told her "She also wanted me to ask if you received the dress, shoes and accessories she wanted you to wear?" I asked her "Yeah I did,What colour did she buy for you cause I got red" She wondered "Atleast that's close to pink I got green, which we both know ain't my colour" I smirked"Yeah it's totally gonna clash with your hair" Amelia joked making me smile "Where is Solon? I'm ready to open up these presents" Aiyon said as he stood back up looking for the dinosaur "Wait did you sort your gift out?" Izzy asked her brother. He nodded as he showed the group the gloves "Uh those are human gloves, Solon has claws" Ollie stated "Aw man, I knew I'd blow it. I've always been bad at picking gifts." Javi sighed "What do I do? Solon deserves a nice gift" He wondered "Don't worry. We'll go find a gift for you to give to Solon" Amelia assured him as I moved over to the tree to put my secret Santa gift for Amelia under the tree "Stay here and stall her until we get back" Izzy told him "You guys are the best" Javi smiled at them as the five teleported out "Don't worry they'll find something" I reassured him with a kiss "Where'd everybody go?" Solon asked as she entered the main room "I thought we were gonna open presents, You guys are too old for hide and seek, Aren't you?" She continued "The others went out to get some last-minute things" I covered "Wanna sing some carols?" Javi offered "Oh if only I was musical like you two." She sighed "Knowing how to play all those different songs is impressive, Especially with a missing key too. But please, no Christmas carols." Solon asked us, "It makes me sad that I can't sing along" She admitted "Solon" I uttered as I side-hugged her "Well, Why not?" Javi asked, "I get too nervous to remember the words, It makes it tough to feel the Christmas spirit." She explained, "Oh, What's all this stuff?" Solon wondered as she noticed the pile of cards on the floor "Oh these are holiday greetings from all the fans of the power rangers. Let's see what we got?" Javi suggested as he reached down to grab an envelope "Oh, How lovely. Cards are so much more personal than emails" Solon agreed as Javi walked towards the table, I nodded at her as Javi opened the card and a blue energy wave burst out "What the fuck" I yelled as anything with electricity began to short circuit "What just happened?" Javi asked as I examined my morpher "I wanna sound mean and tough" Mucus's voice sounded out from a hologram in the card "Ok, I'm ready, Is it recording? Oh, It is! Ohh" Mucus continued "Uhh" Solon jumped "That's Mucus, Shes back?" Javi stated, "Is that even possible?" I asked "Ho-Ho-Ho, Rangers. Slyther and I hope you got our special gift. It'll light up your base like a Christmas tree! Kaboom!" Mucus cheerfully exclaimed, "But you can't have a gift without a card, So we sent this to disable your comms and teleporters!" Mucus taunted "She right" I groaned as I tried to contact someone "There's no escape now. Merry explosives, Rangers" Mucus laughed "And cut," Mucus said again before being replaced with a ten-minute countdown "It's a countdown we only have ten minutes before the whole base explodes!" Solon worriedly exclaimed, "No one has seen Mucus and Slyther since we destroyed Void Knight." Javi stated "Yeah" Solon agreed, "I thought they were gone," Javi said "The computer maybe it can tell us just how badly we've been hit" Solon suggested as the two raced over "Is that what we should be focusing on right now?" I asked but they ignored me "All of our comms and teleporting systems really are down. We're stuck in here with a ticking time bomb" Solon confirmed "We need to find it" Javi stated "And fast, But where do we start?" Solon asked "The presents?" I piped up pointing to the presents under the tree "Mucus said it was a gift, What if they switched a secret Santa gift?" I continued "So you think one of these gifts could be an explosive?" Solon wondered "It's the only option we have right now" I shrugged "So, which gift is rigged to blow?" Javi wondered as he picked up a gift wrapped in blue wrapping paper "For Izzy let's see what's in it" Javi said "Here we go" Solon nodded as he opened it "An electronics kit?" Javi uttered "When Izzy was struggling with her electronics class, you and Ollie helped her and she aced her test" Javi remembered "Well It ain't from me so this has gotta be from Ollie" I figured "So it's totally not the explosive" I concluded, "Let's try the gift from Ollie next?" I suggested as I picked it up "Cute wrapping paper" Javi commented "No prizes for guessing who it's from" I laughed before opening it "Hopefully it doesn't come with a cute explosion" Solon hoped as I opened it "Oh?" Solon said "A rain poncho, made to look like a ghost?" Javi asked as I laughed "Nice" I smirked as Solon let out a small laugh "Amelia told me how she and Elouise met Ollie" Solon told Javi "She thought she saw a ghost and tried to catch it, But turned out it was just Ollie wearing this poncho" Solon laughed "She even electrocuted him" I added with a smirk "She knows exactly how to push his buttons." Javi laughed "Those two gifts are safe" Javi confirmed as I put the gift down "Let's look at the gift for Elouise next" Solon suggested picking it up "Huh" Solon wondered as she opened it "A hot chocolate gift set, Who got you that?" Javi asked I thought for a moment "It could be Aiyon" I guessed "Why would Aiyon give you hot chocolate?" Solon wondered "Hm oh do you remember when we were fighting against that plant sporix with the mist and I stayed up late working on the antidote," I asked them "Yeah why?" Javi nodded "Well Aiyon couldn't sleep either so I introduced him to hot chocolate," I told them"Is that where my marshmallows went?" He asked "Maybe" I smiled at him "Well at least we know this isn't the explosive" Solon said as she put it with the others "That's three down, Four more to go" Javi nodded I picked up the gift I got from Amelia and opened it "Well this isn't the explosive" I confirmed, "What is it?" Solon asked as Javi picked it up "Ghost hunting 101 and Ghost hunting for dummies" Javi read "Who got her that if it wasn't Ollie" Solon wondered "I did" I smiled "Why?" Solon asked "We always buy those kinds of gifts for each other it's tradition" I shrugged. Solon grabbed another box "Less than five minutes until it blows" Javi announced looking at the countdown "Shit, We're running out of time" I mumbled Try this one" Solon said holding out the box "What is it?" Javi asked as we looked inside which had another box, I reached in and pulled off the lid "Whoa! Frosty!" Solon commented as Javi grabbed something from the box he looked at the label and let out a sigh of relief "It's home-made ice cream for Aiyon" He read "Of course, he loves the stuff" I said "Yeah, Aiyon helped save a runaway ice cream cart at the beach, Then he got offered free ice cream and took full advantage" Javi remembered, "What flavour is it?" I wondered "Flargon flavoured. What's that?" Javi asked Solon "Oh Flargon is a Rafkon delicacy! Only Zayto would know that; It must be from him." She concluded "Good thinking Solon" Javi praised her as I grabbed another that was for Zayto "This is for Zayto," I said as Javi opened it "Oh my a hand-stitched punching bag" Solon exclaimed as Javi handed it to her before pulling out a shirt "And a gym shirt with some, um, uh unique needlework." Solon commented "Considering it says Izzy's gym, I think we know who got Zayto this" I noted "Izzy's become a great trainer. She must have made this new gear for Zayto. How thoughtful" Solon said "Well only one gift left" I pointed out as Javi picked up the last gift which was for him and opened it "Oh wow, the missing key!" Javi stated as he picked it up "Yep, I custom-made it for your keyboard." She explained as Javi walked over to his keyboard "I hope it fits" Solon nervously uttered as he tried it out "That's an amazing gift Solon" Javi smiled at her "Oh you're welcome. But I'm afraid it won't be much use if we can't find that bomb" She reminded us "Right, Mucus said the explosive was a gift..." Javi said "But we've gone through all the gifts in the base" I pointed out "So which ones the bomb" He groaned "There's no way one of them is an explosive" I sighed "Nothing else has come into the base." Solon stated "Wait" I realized "The star on the tree," Javi said at the same time and I immediately raced over to get it "Someone dropped it in my case while I was playing carols.
It's a gift, that guy must have been Slyther in disguise." Javi guessed "That's got to be it," I said as I joined them "How do we get rid of it?" Javi frantically asked "We only have 30 seconds" I stated "Wait I've got it," Solon said as she took the star out of his hands before rushing towards the chest where the sporix we held "If our chest can contain sporix, let's hope it can handle an explosion" Solon suggested as she quickly placed it in the chest before turning to move away "get down" Javi yelled as the explosion went off "That was way to close" I muttered as the explosion died down "No kidding. But our systems are... they're back online" Solon stated as the lights on the systems switched back on "Hey does anyone copy, You guys okay?" I asked into the comms "Man am I glad to hear your voice! Hang tight we've got a spider to catch" Zayto replied "A spider" Javi wondered. "Solon where are they?" I asked and the dinosaur quickly began searching for the others. Once Solon found them we both morphed and teleported to meet them/p

Slyther yelled. I activated the hyper dino key as the others activated their own boost sleeves before fighting off the hengemen, "Why are you so good at ruining everything?!" Slyther whinned "No more tricks, Hand over santa's book Slyther" Zayto told Slyther "But tricks are literally my thing, Observe" Slyther countered as he chucked the notebook making it grow somehow "All these pages, I can fill with monsters. but what next? Ah I got it! I'll draw the greatest monster of them all!" he announced before jumping up to the notebook and drawing a copy of himself "Welcome to the stage, Giant me." The two flashily announced "Hello little me, Shall I sprinkle some pain?" The giant Slyther asked as he turned to the smaller version "Guess it's zord time-again?" Zayto sighed "Dinomigo Zord Megazord mode" I yelled as the others formed their megazords, We then teleported into the cockpits "You ready for this? Aiyon, Elouise?" Zayto asked us "Hell yeah" I smiled to myself "The faster we can do this the faster we can get to presents!" Aiyon agreed and the three Megazords charged the giant Slyther "Step right up" Slyther taunted us, As we fought with Slyther announcing his every move Aiyon and I charged at Slyther and managed to get the upperground and threw him up into the air allowing the others solo zords to repeatedly attacked him before coming back together to form the megazord and using the megafury sabre to destroy the giant Slyther "Dino fury victory" we chorused "Oh yeah, present time" Aiyon cheered./p

But the most important thing is the bad guys didn't get my book" Santa waved off his apology "We're happy to help! Merry Christmas" Zayto happily said "Hey, can we open presents now?" Javi asked "Yes finally" Aiyon loudly cheered and we each went to grab our gifts for each other I handed Amelia hers as we both watched Oliie open his "So that's where my poncho disappeared to" Ollie joked as Aiyon gave me my present "Enjoyed your present?" I asked Aiyon who had Ice cream around his face "Obviously, it's ice cream" he smiled, Izzy interrupted us before pointing over to Javi and Solon "You said you got nervous and forgot the words of songs. When we were little, our family sung carols with this songbook. It's always helped me get into the Christmas spirit. Now it'll do the same for you." Javi told her "Thank you Javi, Can we sing one now?" She happily asked "Of course" Javi agreed. The eight of us and Santa sat around singing carols for a few hours/p

I asked he nodded "Well Dani has decided that she will tell me everything if I went to this damn event" I sighed "Why does she want you to go so badly" He wondered as I dried my hair "Uhm I don't know for certain but I think it has to do with my ex" I admitted "Your ex? Should I be worried" He joked looking at me I laughed "Deffinetly don't need to worry he's horrible" I assured him with a kiss before walking into the bathroom to put on the dress "My ex being there is the whole reason I'm forcing Amelia to come so she can be a buffer and since its normal for her to be with me it wont annoy Dani" I told him as I put the dress on "Can you zip the back up?" I asked him "Of course" Javi agreed before zipping the dress up "You look good" He smiled as he kissed my cheek "Shut it" I smirked. After doing my make up and hair I had around fourteen minutes until I had to be at my mums so I decided to go early. Once I said goodbye to Javi I teleported to Dani's house, I walked in and my brother immediately ran towards me "Hey buddy" I signed "How was your trip" I asked "The worse" He signed "I need to tell you something I found in the woods" My brother told me but stopped when Dani walked in "Elouise, you look amazing darling" Dani greeted me warmly, I was about to say something until she looked at Ethan and then motioned to a group of people behind her. I smiled back at her "Thanks mum, you too" I told her although my tone definitely didn't match my words as she hugged me before I had to deal with any more fake niceness Amelia walked in early "Hey Ami" I smiled at her, Ethan noticed her and ran up to give her a hug "Amelia why don't you head into the hall with Ethan I need to speak to Elouise about something" Dani suggested, Amelia looked at me I nodded and the two walked off "I need you to do one more thing and then I'll" She told me "No" I cut her off "What" She asked looking shocked "We agreed I come here and you tell me, Simple as that I'm not doing anything else." I reminded her "don't forget YOU still have to tell Ethan not me" I warned her before walking off. I entered the hall and quickly made my way to Amelia "Where's Ethan?" I asked "He went to get a drink, Left me all alone" She fake cried. for the next two hours everything went fine we had both been able to avoid my ex or Dani until my brother decided to go to bed "Don't you both look nice" Charlie complimented me as he walked towards the two of us "Thanks" Amelia dryly replied as I shrugged "So Elouise, You missing me yet" He cockily asked, Amelia started laughing "Far from it" I admitted "Come on I'm single, you're dating no one. Besides can you get better then me" He smirked "I ain't single and trust me I got far better than you" I smiled at him "As if" he scoffed before laughing "Didn't know you were a liar" Charlie glared at me "Huh, I never said I was single. I don't know where you got that shit from" I told him "Stop lying your mother said you were single and that you wanted me back" He continued "I've barely spoken to my mother since I left home, you know something you still refuse to do because that means you have to look after yourself" I taunted "And I can promise you I would die before I ever want you back" I told him before walking away "Damn" Amelia laughed "Shall we go, I have two tubs of Ice cream, Cozy pj's and a bunch of Christmas movies to watch at my house" I suggested "Please" She nodded and we started making our way towards the exit as we reached the door Dani's voice stopped me "What is wrong with you" She yelled at me "Huh?" I asked her "Charlie told me about what you said to him, How dare you his family is important to our business" She glared at me "Important to your business not mine, And besides I'm not an idiot I know why you wanted me here and it isn't going to work. If you were actually a good "Mum" you'd know I was in a relationship" I reminded her "I'll see you tomorrow when you finally fucking tell me everything or I'm going to tell everyone you know how much of a shitty person you are and your image of being the nice caring responsable lady you make people you think you are" I threatened her before smiling "See you tomorrow Dani" I told her before leaving./p

I was sat in the living room for about fifteen minutes before she returned "So explain" I glared at her "Fine when you were born month after you were born you mother sent me the first letter, When I read It I was confused they both were so excited when they found out my sister was pregnant but here they were suddenly asking me to look after you, I told them that I needed a while to think it through since I never really wanted children" She explained "If you didn't want kids why'd you take me in" I asked her "My husband had always wanted children but was unable too, When I approached him about my sisters offer he was enthusiastic about taking you in. He told me it was the right thing to do since not only would we be helping my sister but that he would be also be able to have a daughter like he'd always wanted" She told me "After thinking it over for two months we went to meet you, My husband was great with you and I could see how much the idea of giving you away was killing both of your parents so I agreed and within the next week we were preparing to bring you home" Dani said "Only your mother was there when we officially became your guardians you father had to work, she couldn't stop crying the whole time she was saying goodbye. As we got on the plane my husband took you and immediately began promising to give you the best life possible over the next few years I tried to form the same connection with you as he did but I just couldn't, you always were more comfortable around him but I knew he wanted me to have good relationship with me if not as a mother but atleast as an aunt." She continued "So up until he died it was what an act?" I wondered "Don't get me wrong I do care about you but I never wanted to be a maternal figure, but once I began distancing myself from you my husband began spending more time with you to make up for the lack of affection on my side" She answered "You say you never wanted to be maternal figure, yet you were the perfect mother for Ethan"I countered she sighed "When you were twelve, My sister got in contact with me she was pregnant again and their job was dying down so they should have been able to finally meet you again but five months after Ethan was born and a month before you were supposed to meet them they got a call and once again we were in the same predicament, Upon learning that Ethan was deaf I surprised myself and agreed to take him in, My husband was just as excited as he was with you. When we arrived home with Ethan you were so excited to have a little brother, and just like my husband had made a promise to you I heard you promising to make sure you would always be there and that if he needed anything he could come to you and I think that was what made me realize how bad I had been to you. But I knew the damage was already done with you so I resolved to do the best for Ethan" She revealed. The two of us fell into a silence "What are my parents like?" I wondered "Your mother despite the way she looks and acts at first glance is one of the nicest people I know, She always makes sure to be there for anyone. Growing up she spent most of her time with her friends at the juice bar in town either teaching dance classes or practicing gymnastics" She stated "Gymnastics?" I asked "Yeah your mother was one of the best in town even got to compete in the pan globle games" Dani told me,I smiled "What about my dad" I asked "Your dad, I didn't know him that well but from what I did know from my sister he was kind, outgoing, friendly and always ready to stand up for someone. he was also insanely good at sports and martial arts, he won quite a few competitions aswell not to mention he and two other of their friends were chosen to be ambassadors at a peace conference in Switzerland" She informed me "You still haven't told me their names, the only thing I know is that my mums name begins with a K or where they are or what they know about me and Ethan" I pointed out Dani pulled out a few pictures before handing them to me "Your parents names are Kimberly and Jason, they live in angel grove and as for what they know about you and your brother they know everything we made sure to keep them up to date on everything" She stated "Will I be able to meet or speak to them ever?" I asked "If you want I can arrange something" She nodded "Yes please" I agreed./p
