When the Truth Comes; Follow By The Last

Summary: The parents get together and have one of those talks.

Disclaimer: Don't own them.

"Our kids are power rangers. I still can't believe it," Johnston Bly said

"It isn't that hard to believe," Cassandra Thorn said as she took a sip of her coffee.

"Maybe, not for your son but Maddie and Vida?" Thomas Rocca said with a sigh.

"Point taken," She said.

"Where is Julie? I thought that she would be joining us," Johnston said.

"She has to deal with some creature that Vida brought home. Momboo or something like that?"

"Matoombo," She said.

She learned that simply on how many times her nephews want to touch or ride the poor creature. She promised him hot chocolate next time he came over. She had a feeling that there will be no next time.

"Close enough. I never knew that we had so many creatures living in our woods," Thomas said.

"I nearly had a heart attack when I first saw one driving into town. You two could have warned me," Johnston said with a sigh.

"And we did with a couple of phone messages," She said.

"And emails."

Johnston flushed at their words. As she questioned Johnston's parenting style, she knew the man loves Xander.

"So, let get down to business on why we are here. What are we going to do about our children," Thomas said.

"Pray that they don't become power rangers again," She said.

She doesn't think that any of them could go through it again. She knew she couldn't. She may have not have known but she saw the effects.

"Agreed but what about the reporters and phone calls? I know that Maddie and Vee have been getting emails as well. Some are fine but some are down right creepy. I have serious thoughts about borrowing Carl's gun and changing my number and email accounts," Thomas said.

She frowned. He wasn't borrowing her brother's gun. Julie would kill her or scream into her ear.

"It will blow over. Next year, there will be another power ranger team to show up. The media will jump on to that," Johnston said with a wave.

"True but we have to deal with it now."

"Our children were…are power rangers. Xander is a big boy. He can handle himself."

He had a point but it didn't stop her from worrying.

"Chip is loving it but the moment a reporter tried to crossover the line. He told them a big fat no. I was kind of impressed. He was almost imposing. I believe that knight training of his is really having effect," She said.

"If wizard wasn't enough…now there are knights. I don't want this to get back to my daughters but that Leanbow scared the crap out of me," Thomas said.

"Leanbow is a nice gentleman and so is Daggeron after we had our little chat about Chip and his training," She said with a frown.

"Yes because you aren't scary either," Johnston said with a mumble. She gave him a look.

"That was only one time…"

"Even the kids still remember it."

She sighed. She was never going to live that down.

"He has changed and I kind of missed it."

"All of them have," She said as she patted Johnston's arm.

"Maddie has really come out of her shell. It is remarkable. I wished that I was paying attention more to both of my girls. Vida seemed to have settled down. You know how much of wild child that she could be. She had me and Julie worried so much. I thought that it was because of Chip. Maybe it was or both but I see her more relaxed." Thomas said in wonder.

She had to think to herself.

"Chip is Chip. I don't think becoming a power ranger changed him. I think that…it refined who he is."

"And you missed it," Thomas said.

"I did. We all did."

"Does that make us bad parents?"

"No."

"Then what does it make us, Cassandra?"

She thought a moment.

"Human."
