"Sweet! Kaylee exclaimed. Tori suddenly remembered her sister and knelt down beside her.

"What?" she asked.

"Look! Morpher!" Kaylee smiled like a three year old, holding up a green and black morpher that resembled her sisters. But, instead of having a dolphin insignia, it had a fist, which represented her samurai abilities.

Kaylee smiled as she watched the many videos of her time as a Ranger. It felt good to finally say she was going to lead a normal life, but that didn't mean she wasn't going to be in the Ranger business at all.

She found she couldn't part with it. No matter how many times she tried, being a Ranger or even just a part of the team was now who she was. So, she had begun plans for blueprints of the newest morphers which she would hopefully never need.

"It's called a roll call," Kaylee said absently, earning a curious glance from the three. She realized what she had said and grinned sheepishly. "What?! I liked Power Rangers when I was…ah…younger! So sue me!"

"She's right, it's a roll call," Tommy stated. "And all you four have to say is 'Dino Thunder, Power Up' and you'll be transformed. You'll know to do."

Kaylee crossed her arms and turned to Kira, "I still haven't touched the scary bones outside the bat-cave thanks to you."

Kira frowned, rolling her eyes, "Are you still holding a grudge about that? We were seventeen!"

"Bahumbug!"

Kira laughed, hugging her friend as the next video began.

Kaylee was the first to recognize her—and she screamed, ducking behind Dustin. "Scorpion Lady! Hide my head! And all shiny silver plates!"

"Please, Kaylee, I mean you no harm," she smiled warmly, touching a hand to her heart. "The good magic of the Mystic Mother runs through me, remember? I have seen the light."

"Sabrina, right?" Kira questioned, remembering the transition Scorpina had made not so long ago, after chasing down Kaylee and the Dragonzord.

"Kira Ford. Yellow Ranger of Lightning," Sabrina bowed, and then did so to the other four. "Conner McKnight, Red Ranger of Fire. Dustin Brooks, Orange Ranger of Earth. Kelly Holloway, Pink Ranger of Wind. Kaylee Hanson, Green Ranger of Nature. I am honoured in your presence, Mystic Warriors."

"He-he," Kaylee giggled, watching the video and turning to Kelly, "remember when I put that frog down your pants!"

"Shut up," Kelly frowned.

"Everything I told you is true!" he said, looking into her soft brown eyes. "I need your help! We need to protect this from falling into the wrong hands."

"You're rich, buy an army," Rose suggested. She saw Kaylee was tense, and seemed ready to attack, ever since Hartford grabbed Ronny, keeping her from leaving. It was most likely in case he tried to pull something funny. When Kaylee had introduced herself, she mentioned that she was invited here for her martial arts skills.

"An army can't stop them!" Hartford frowned. "You can! The five of you have the physical and mental qualities needed, and I have the technology and the money to fight this evil. I can turn you into Power Rangers!"

Kaylee turned to Hartford and glared at him, before smiling, "You still suck."

"I know," Hartford laughed.

"Sunglasses?" Kaylee frowned.

"They're not just sunglasses," RJ smirked. "They're solar Morphers! You ever hear of the Power Rangers?"

"Oh boy," Kaylee groaned, putting her head in her hands, "here we go again! Look RJ, I really want to help but..."

"Who hasn't?" Casey asked, answering RJ's question. Kaylee huffed, crossing her arms over her chest as she felt ignored.

"Well, guess what? You. Be. Them." RJ smiled.

Every cheered as the last team passed on the screen. Kaylee smiled and waved at all her friends as she walked over to the couches in Storm Chargers and stood on the middle cushion of the larger one. Storm Chargers had been chosen as the location to host the party because it was where Kaylee got her start in everything.

"He-he," Kaylee giggled, looking over at her friends, "None of you got a party! HA!"

The Rangers' faces all dropped and Kaylee started chuckling a lot more.

"Look, guys, I honestly don't know what to say," Kaylee smiled, holding her glass of wine as she looked down at everyone, "You all know just how hard being a Ranger is and I've done it... five times... I think... God, I don't like counting, and stupid Bridge confused me... anyways, I've done it way too many times to count and as happy as I am for it to be over, I'm really going to miss it."

Kira ran up on the couch and hugged her friend with one arm, while the other carried a guitar. Kaylee was confused as she saw the instrument. Was she going to be asked to sing? Not that she would mind, it would be fun ending this party with one of hers and Kira's songs, but it would have been nice having a rehearsal.

Kira pushed Kaylee off the couch then grabbed Lily from the crowd.

"Okay, so this brat here probably acted as the biggest snot catcher any of us have ever seen," Kira smiled, looking over at Lily. She shifted her gaze to Kaylee and raised her eyebrows. Kaylee quickly caught on to what Kira was doing and joined her on the couch.

"This is true," she nodded, "if it weren't for Lily, then... well I wouldn't be here first of all... and if I weren't here I don't know where you guys would be."

"So," Kira continued, "when Lily told me she wrote a song for Kaylee I decided now would be the best time to sing it."

Kira fell onto the couch and set her guitar on her lap. Lily started to turn a little red as Casey pulled her into his arms. Kaylee sat on a foot stool in front of Kira to listen.

"Lily, mind doing a little introduction?" Kira asked, smirking as Lily turned a darker shade of red.

"I dunno," Lily shrugged, "I just worked on this song whenever I got a little frustrated at Kaylee. I mean, there's only so much you can to do help someone before you start thinking suck it up... but I knew Kaylee needed me... and it really hurt to see her upset, so instead of writing a Kaylee's such a bitch song I decided to go with this..."

Oh what the hell she says I just can't win for losing
And she lays back down
Man, there's so many times I don't know what I'm doing
Like I don't know now

By the light of the moon she rubs her eyes
Says it's funny how the night can make you blind
I can just imagine

And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
But if she feels bad then I do too
So I let her be

And she says
Ooh, I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
'Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

Kaylee got a copy of the lyrics at this point and decided to start singing along. She began tapping her hands on her thighs, following this rhythm of the song as Kira faded out and she faded in.

She sits down and stares into the distance
And it takes all night
And I know I could break her concentration
But it don't feel right

By the light of the moon she rubs her eyes
Sits down on the bed and starts to cry
And there's something less about her
And I don't know what I'm supposed to do
So I sit down and I cry too
And don't let her see

Kaylee jumped up, pulling Lily in, inviting her to sing. Lily rolled her eyes, knowing there was no denying Kira and Kaylee when they had a plan. The two singers stopped singing, allowing Lily to finish her song, with her own words, giving them a lot more meaning.

And she says
Ooh, I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
'Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

She shuts out the night
Tries to close her eyes
If she can find daylight
Then she'll be all right
She'll be alright
Just not tonight

And she says
Ooh, I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
'Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling

Ooh, I can't take no more
Her tears like diamonds on the floor
And her diamonds bring me down
'Cause I can't help her now
She's down in it
She tried her best and now she can't win
It's hard to see them on the ground
Her diamonds falling down

(Author's Note: Obviously Lily didn't write this song. It actually belongs to Rob Thomas, but it kinda fit the Lily/Kaylee dynamic so well that I had to somehow include it. I heard it on TV one day and fell in love. You guys should check it out.)

While the music was still playing, Kaylee jumped over to Lily, crashing into her in an attempt to hug her. Lily laughed, trying to pull away.

"No, I owe you two million lunches, and about a bajillion hugs!" Kaylee smirked.

"Guys, I think it's time," Dr. O called. The others nodded, grabbing Kaylee's morphers from where they had been placed on a table.

Sensei walked up to Kaylee, handing her, her Wind Ninja morpher. Kaylee accepted it, smiling as she placed it in a box, where it fit perfectly.

Dr. O took her Dino Bracelet and offered it to her. Kaylee smirked, sticking her tongue out at her predecessor Ranger legend and placed the Bracelet in the box.

Kelly took the Mystic Force Morpher and gave it to Kaylee, giving her a hug before Kaylee put it away.

Hartford gave Kaylee her Tracker. She smiled, shaking his hand (he wasn't special enough for a hug). Kaylee put the tracker in the box, then turned to RJ.

He gave her the sunglasses and she looked up at him, "Be honest, when you made these morphers, you gave the four of us fat ass sunglasses, and you gave Dom a little tiny bracelet, while you got the cool wrist morpher... were you keeping the cool one for yourself?"

RJ smirked, shoving Kaylee playfully as she put the sunglasses in the box. She closed the lid and, with a green key, locked it up.

"There, officially retired!" she smiled, "there is no room in the box for anymore, and I can no longer access any of my suits... sorry Dustin."

"Meh, I'll find the key," Dustin shrugged, pulling his wife in his arms.

"OH!" Kaylee gasped, her hands going to her mouth as she remembered something, "maybe I should thank all my mentors... they've all been a huge part of my career!"

Kaylee jumped back onto the couch, looking down at the crowd again, "Sensei, Leanne, Dr. O, Hayley, Mystic Mother, Hartford, Spencer, RJ, Engel, Leanne again, and Kayleigh not me Kayleigh..."

Kaylee took a deep breath and smiled, "Thank you, goodnight."

She jumped off the couch and smirked before hopping back on, "Seriously now, I owe you guys the world... wait a minute..."

Kaylee started to giggle, realising the world was now safe, and it was thanks to her and the many other Rangers on earth.

"Okay, the world owes you guys," Kaylee smirked, "I would totally not be where I am now if it weren't for any of you teaching me, coaching me, picking me up when I was down, knocking me down when I was up, thanks for that Leanne..."

"No problem," Leanne smirked, pulling Kaylee's foot out from under her, causing her to fall on her butt, on the couch.

"Yeah, Seriously, no matter how much I said I hated you all when were training and you made me work far beyond what I thought possible, I love you all so much. Thank you, thank you, thank you and Hartford, I still don't like you!"

Kaylee pointed to Andrew with a smile on her face. He knew she didn't mean it... to an extent.

"Oh, and to all my fans out there, you guys rock!"

Kaylee hopped off the couch and grabbed her box. She looked down at it, before taking off.

"MINE!" she yelled, running out the door of Storm Chargers with the box in her hands.

Leanne walked over to Tori and sighed, "Should we go after her?"

Tori shrugged, taking a sip of her drink and turning to all the other guests. They seemed to be having a good time.

"I say we lock her out of her own party," the blonde giggled, "that would be funny."

Author's Note: Yes, this is the end of the Jungle Fury story. I hope you all enjoyed it, because a lot of hard work went into it. Fortunately, this is jus the tip of the iceburg as we enter the second part of the series.

Look out for the Next story, A Little Miracle. It takes place not too long after the end of JF, and the Ranger family starts to grow.

As usual, let me know what you think!
