Five Years Later…

I'm back with a new story!! Yippee! I hope you guys enjoy it!

Chapter 1: A letter, a plan and a road trip!

Kira sighed as she re-read the card in her hand,

Miss Ford,

We are extremely pleased to inform you that

Reefside high is having a reunion for the class of 2004.

We do hope that you would do us the honor and grace us with your,

presence. This is a once in a life time chance and we do hope that

you will attend.

Please RSVP ASAP.

Chairman of the Old Student Foundation

Cassidy.

Kira had to laugh at all the exaggerations in the card. It was so like Cassidy to make thing seem bigger than they were. Guess after five years she still hadn't changed. But she had kept their secret, so she wasn't so bad. Kira put down the card and picked up a letter from the table in front of her.

Hey Kira!

It's been a while hasn't it? How have you been? Is life ok? Your job good? Ok, now that I'm done with the formalities let's move on the serious business.

Did you get the card? The horribly exaggerated card from the person who spent her entire senior year trying to out the power rangers and in the end decided to keep it a secret and is now inviting us to a high school reunion? Well, if you didn't never mind. It's not that important. But seeing as how Reefside High is having a reunion, I think that it's only proper that we, that it is to say you, me, Trent, Connor and Dr. O, have our own little reunion? Five years ago we all lost our powers, so it's only fitting that we all get together and reminisce about the old days

You could bring Adam if you want. I'm sure Dr. O will be more than pleased to see him. In fact the two of them could have their own little reunion and reminisce about the really old days. I still can't believe that you're roommate is one of the veteran rangers! That is so damn cool! You never really told us how you met him…That's yet another thing we can talk about when you get here.

So call me when you're done thinking about it. As the card says RSVP ASAP…

Love,

Ethan

(President of Thunder Securities)

May the thunder protect you…

Kira smiled at the letter, it had been a long time since she had seen her friends. Sure they kept in touch via e-mail and phone calls, but it wasn't the same. So many things had changed since they graduated from Reefside High. Connor now ran his own soccer school in Reefside. He managed to do that mostly because of Anton Mercer who had generously sponsored the entire thing. He had gone to UCLA on a soccer scholarship but decided that helping kids play was better than playing himself. Trent had gone to NYU to pursue a career in art and was now a successful comic artist with his own series. He and Connor were roommate, sharing a small 2 bedroom apartment in Reefside. Ethan ended up the most successful out of them all. He had gone to MIT and graduated early. Using his savings he started his own company, wanting to make Reefside a better place. Now, Thunder Securities was the most successful business (not counting Anton Mercer's companies of course) in Reefside. Dr. O had quit teaching at the high school and took up a researching job at Reefside University. He had promised the four of them that he would not mess around with experiments and create a new evil monster.

Kira felt that it was she who had changed the most. After she got her powers back and helped out the Overdrive rangers, she didn't feel the passion she felt when she was fighting when she sang. So she turned down the recording contract and decided to travel. Her travels brought her to Angel Grove. It was there she remembered Adam Park, the black dino ranger. She remembered he said he owned a dojo there and looked him up and went tot visit him. After spending a few days in Angel Grove she fell in love with the place and decided to stay. She got a job working at Adam's dojo and shared an apartment with him. The two of them got along great and were now close friend.

Kira sighed as she re-read the letter. She had only recently told her friends about settling down in Angel Grove and living with Adam. She had yet to tell them that she had gotten her power back. She didn't know why she was so scared about telling them. She knew they would accept it…eventually. Kira ran a hand through her hair in frustration. That was yet another thing her friends didn't know about. Her new look. She had gotten tired of her blondish curly hair so she had it darkened and straightened. She liked her new look but was sure that the others would be some what shocked.

Just then the front door opened and Adam came in.

He looked at her holding the letter, "Ok, you're holding a letter and looking half excited and half scared. So I'm guessing that the letter is from Connor, Ethan or Trent."

Kira frowned at him, "Why do I have a smart aleck for a roommate. Who else would write to me?"

"A secret admirer perhaps?"

"Very funny."

"Yeah, it is. So who is it from?"

"It's from Ethan." She said.

"Okaay… and?"

Kira sighed and handed him the letter. Adam read it and burst out laughing "'In fact the two of them could have their own little reunion and reminisce about the really old days.' The really old days?! I'm not that old!" he said indignantly. "So are you going?" he asked Kira.

"Yeah, I probably am. And I guess I have to tell them about getting my power back." She said.

"Great! Can I come? Please? I promise I'll be good!!" Adam asked, like a little boy asking for a treat. Kira laughed at him, "Sure Ad. As long as you drive. I don't think I could stand driving for three hours."

"Yay!" Adam reached over and hugged her. "Wait a second! You're boss hasn't given you permission to take leave yet!" he added.

Kira frowned at him, "Permission to take leave? Isn't the boss going as well? Isn't that like an automatic holiday for everyone?" she asked teasingly.

Adam laughed, "I guess it is."

Kira grinned, "So when do we leave?"

After a long three hour drive the next day, Kira and Adam met the others at Haley's Cyber café. It was there that Ethan told her that Dr. O still didn't know about their little reunion and that they were planning on surprising him. It was there that they others met Adam for the first time and kept on throwing them suspicious look no matter how many times she told them that they were just friends. And it was there that Ethan revealed to all of them that he was dating Haley and had been for the last year. After the shock had subsided all of them, minus Haley, drove over to Dr. O's house.

"You guys ready?" Connor asked, hand poised over the doorbell.

"Geez Con, do you have to make it sound like we're going to fight some big bad evil? We're only going to surprise Dr. O!" Ethan said rolling his eyes.

"Whatever dude." Was Connor well thought, smart reply.

Kira and Trent looked at each other and rolled their eyes, Ethan and Connor would never change, no matter how old they got.

Adam cut into the two's argument by reaching out and pressing the doorbell himself.

Five minutes later Kira was tapping her foot impatiently. Dr. O still hadn't answered the door and Connor was pressing the bell so many times that it was really starting to get on her nerves. She went up to the front door and banged on it. Still no answer.

"That's it…I'm breaking this damn door down!"

Adam grabbed her and pulled her away from the door, "I don't think that damaging Tommy's property would be the best way to greet him." He looked at Connor standing next to the door, "Try opening it. Knowing Tommy he would have probably forgotten to lock it."

Connor turned the handle and the door swung open.

"I was just kidding…" Adam said.

Ethan shook his head and sighed, "This place is a haven for thieves. I should talk to Dr. O about adding some security to this place…"

They all entered the house and looked around, Tommy was no where I sight. Kira looked towards the door that led to the underground lair. She saw a light from under the door. Some things never change.

She pointed towards the door, "I'll give you three guesses as to where he is."

Trent frowned, "Wonder what he's doing in there…"

"Probably creating a Mesagog 2 and a whole army to go with it," Ethan said sarcastically as he led the way. Down there they saw Tommy staring at his computer intently and head phones on.

"That's why he didn't hear the bell" Connor said.

"Really?! Gosh Connor you astound me with you're sense of deduction!" Trent replied.

Connor grinned at him, completely unaware that his roommate was being sarcastic.

Kira was about to go up to Dr. O and alert him to their presence when she heard Adam make a funny noise. She turned and saw him trying to control his laughter, his face was contorted into an expression of focus and his hands were shaking. Kira raised an eye brow at him. He just motioned for her to go ahead. So she went up to her mentor and the ex-black ranger and tapped him on his shoulder. He was so startled that he jumped out of his chair and nearly touched the ceiling. He yanked of his head phones and enveloped Kira into a hug.

"Kira! What're you doing here?" He then realized that there were others in the room as well. His eyes went over each one of them before resting on Adam. His eyes widen at the sight of his old team mate, "Adam!"

By now Adam had lost all control and was laughing hysterically. Tommy frowned at him, "I have two questions. Why are you laughing like a hyena and what are you doing here?"

Adam controlled his laughter enough to answer him, "I'm laughing because after all these years, the only thing about you that had changed is your hair style. And I'm here because I needed a holiday and Kira," he jerked his thumb towards her, "needed a ride."

Tommy narrowed his eyes and looked from Adam to Kira and back to Adam again, "How exactly do you to know each other?"

Kira was suddenly very nervous, it was time to tell them. "Um…before I answer that I have something to tell you guys."

Connor gasped, "Oh my god! You and Adam eloped!"

Both Kira and Adam reached over and smacked him, "No you idiot!" she took a deep breath, "Maybe it's better if I show you guys." She said as she took a step back from them. She realized that 4 pairs of expectant eyes staring at her did not help her nerves. She sought Adam's eyes; he gave her a small nod of encouragement. It was all she needed.

She took another deep breath, "Dino Thunder Power Up!"

"Holy Crap!"

"No freaking way!"

"Kira! You're in your ranger costume!"

Kira powered down and faced her friends. "Kira how did you get your powers back?" Tommy asked. Adam raised his hand, "I can answer that." He said as he launched into the story of how the overdrive rangers had lost their power because the morphing grid had been damaged and that they had to be called back into action to help them. "So now Xander, Tori, Kira and I have our powers back. Bridge never lost his to begin with so he never actually got them back."

Trent, Ethan and Connor looked at the two of them in awe and only Tommy looked indignant.

"Out of all the original rangers, they picked you?!" he asked in disbelief.

Adam went over and patted him on the back, "Bro, you've been a ranger 5 times and have stolen colors from Jason, Rocky and me. At least I'm still my original color."

Tommy frowned but then smiled at his friend, "I guess you're right…Frog Boy."

Adam glared at him, "No, I got my dino powers back because we all still have our ninjetti powers remember."

"Ah…Right…Mastodon the most unheard of dinosaur in the world."

"Hey! At least it was a dinosaur. Not a tiger or a dragon!"

While the two continued their banter, the Dino Thunder rangers were having a discussion of their own.

"How come you never told us you got you're powers back?!" Connor asked Kira.

"I don't know…It wasn't a big deal. It's not like I'm an active ranger or anything. I have my powers and I can't use them. Like Adam and Dr. O."

"Dr. O? He got his powers back as well?" Trent asked.

Kira sighed, "Don't you guys ever pay attention to anything people say? Dr. O still has his red Zeo powers. He never lost them, he just sorta upgraded to the turbo powers."

She shook her head at the three shocked faces in front of her. She turned to Ethan, "So Ethan, did you book the rooms?"

Ethan looked at her confused, "Rooms?"

"The rooms at the hotel that Adam and I are supposed to stay at…"

Ethan widen his eyes, "Crap! I completely forgot about that!"

"Great! Where are we supposed to go now?"

Trent's eyes sparkled, "I have an idea…"

So what do you guys think? Is it worth continuing? Or should I just drop it?

This is going to end up a Kira/ Tommy fic.
