Chapter 1
Just walking by you would expect nothing but normalcy out of 1993 Meadowlark Road. The simple brick house with its two car garage, maroon shutters, and perfectly trimmed hedges showed no outward signs of anything other than a perfectly average couple living there. Little did the people innocently passing by know is that the habitants of this particular home were once part of a specifically chosen group of people who helped to save the world.
Jason Scott and Katherine Hillard reconnected several years after their last individual stints as Power Rangers. They bonded quickly over their shared pasts and within no time they were dating. Just one year later Jason found himself on bended knee asking Kat to become his wife and one year after that they were wed. They purchased their beautiful home on Meadowlark and the world has been seemingly quiet ever since.
Until last week that is. Last week came a phone call they never expected. Tommy Oliver was back in spandex as the black dino ranger leading three teenagers into battles. Tommy had this idea to introduce Zordon's chosen to his new team and requested a family reunion so to speak.
"Jason? Are you sure she's going to show? She said she would be here by 11 a.m. and it's almost 12 now."
"Give her 10 more minutes Kat. I just can't imagine her not showing up for this," came Jason's reply.
"I hope she does. I may sound selfish, but I just want to see her! It's been almost a year. Why are we all so awful at getting together?"
"Because you two are the only ones who stayed in Angel Grove! I've missed you guys!" said the girl Jason and Kat had been patiently waiting on busting through their front door. Her light brown hair had grown to the middle of her back, but everything else was still perfectly her. Including her signature pink clothing.
"Finally Kim. We were leaving in 10 minutes if you weren't here," said Jason while going in for a hug. "I have missed you so much. I was worried you had changed your mind."
"I'm still considering calling my cab back. That's what took me so long by the way. My plane was delayed, then I couldn't find a cab, once I found one we hit some traffic, and it was just one thing after another. Maybe that's a sign. Maybe I shouldn't have come."
"Stop it," came Kat butting in, "Tommy has asked for all of the originals. That's you too. He wants you to come."
"I just don't know. We didn't speak at your wedding. We've barely said 5 sentences to each other since that time Jason and I got kidnapped and turned into lava food. Maybe including me is just a formality and he didn't want to be rude."
At this Jason interrupted, "Kim. Shut up. Get your bag; put it in the trunk, go pee, and then get in the car. It's time to go."
Kim went and got her pink suitcase with white polka dots and put it in Jason's car. She just couldn't believe she was about to be spending a weekend with all of her best friends, including Tommy. No work, no bills, no responsibilities. Just friends, fun, and being carefree. And hopefully not making a bigger mess than she already had all those years ago.
*I hope this weekend goes good. It's been 7 years since the letter. And I know it was the right thing at the time to do. I need to talk to him. To explain why I sent the letter. That's my goal for this weekend. And to figure out how many other colors Tommy is going to try and occupy as a ranger*
"Alright. Just let me run to the restroom real quick and I'll be ready to go. As ready as I'll ever be anyway," said Kim.
Ten minutes later and the three former rangers were piled into Jason's car and they were pulling out of the driveway.
Reefside was only a 2 hour drive from Angel Grove. So at 2:05 the car was pulling into the local Marriot and the three passengers were walking to their rooms.
"We're lucky they had 2 adjoining rooms left. That's the last time I don't try and make reservations ahead of time. I did not want to be rooming with the two of you. No offense."
"None taken Kim. We didn't want you in there with us either," said Jason while laughing.
"Before you two start a verbal war, how about we take 15 minutes to put our stuff away and then head to the Cyber Café Tommy has mentioned. Did he say his friend owned it or something?"
"Yeah, Haley owns it. Sound good to you Kim?"
"Sounds great. I'll see you in a few," said Kim opening the door to room 207. "And you two keep your clothes on! No time for a quickie!" she yelled before quickly shutting the door.
*Well, I made it to Reefside. One step at a time Kim. One step at a time*
