Disclaimer: I don't own PRJF, no matter how much I'd like to. All I own is Jen. Don't sue.
"Hey, daddy!" A girl of about sixteen exclaimed. "I'm back!" She the threw her arms around the young Pai Zhuaq master.
"Whoa. Jen?! You're back already?" RJ asked the girl after the hug was over.
"What do you mean already?! Do you know how hard it was to find two other Pai Zhuaq masters?! I mean-"
"Not now, Jen. Let's go to the kitchen. I have a few poeople you might wanna meet." RJ cut off.
"You already found other cubs? Ouch!" the girl named Jennifer was wearing black leggings under a pink mini skirt, a green tank under a half-zipped pink jacket, a pink watch, hat, shoes, sunglasses, and a gold heart pendant. "I'm gone for half a year and you found other cubs?! What kind of a father are you?" the girl asked, in mocked hurt.
"I didn't find them; they found me. Master Mao sent them."
"Oh, You mean the other three chosen ones?"
"Yeah."
7:30 P.M. Kitchen After hours
"Okay, people - this is my cub Jennifer-"
RJ was interrupted by Theo, Casey, and Lily. "You have a daughter?!"
"Technically, yes. I was the first Pai Zhuaq student RJ taught. I came here when I was about eight, so I started calling him my daddy, and he started calling me his cub." Jennifer explained. Now, nobody noticed RJ go upstairs, to the loft.
"Oh, Well, I'm Lily. This is Casey," she gestured to the boy in red, "this is--"
"Before she could finish, Jennifer had to ask something. "Is he your boyfriend? You guys look cute together!"
"WE ARE NOT GOING OUT!" both Rangers said simultaneously.
"Really? The why are both of you blushing?" Jennifer countered, noting Casey and Lily's red faces.
"Never mind them. I'm Theo." Theo introduced himself, extending a hand.
"Hey." the new girl shook Theo's hand.
"Jen, you wanna go shopping?" Lily asked the newcomer.
"Yeah, sure!" Jennifer replied. "I gotta go ask daddy for money first, though. Is he at the loft?"
"Probably. But it's only open to employees."
"Don't tell me I can't train up there anymore!"
"You know?"
"Yeah. I used to go to Pai Zhuaq, remember? I was in the advanced class when I was about seven."
"You were that kid?! Yeah, I remember. I was kinda jealous of you, you know."
"Well, don't be. It wasn't fun, being the youngest in your class."
"Never mind. Let's go find RJ."
The two girls climbed the stairs to the loft and found their master sleeping on his green chair.
"Daddy!" Jennifer yelled.
"Huh? What?" RJ, surprised, asked.
"Could I have some money so I could go shopping with Lily?"
"No." This answer earned a pout fome his pseudo-cub. "But you can work here to earn the money."
"Really? Great!" Jennifer hugged her master. "Thanks, Daddy."
"Have you told Lily about yourself yet?"
"No." the girl's answer made Jennifer's friend frown.
"What are you not telling me?"
"Well, um, I'm a Power Ranger, too." Jennifer confessed. "That's why I was gone for half a year. Daddy sent me out to train with Masters Dolph and Eron(1). Sorry about not telling you."
"Oh, really? That's okay. Let's go tell Theo and Casey, ok?"
"Yeah. Let's go. Oh, sorry about the shopping thing. Maybe next month."
"That's ok, too."
"Jen?" RJ called, just before the two were out of the room. "Since you're here, you can room with Lily, Casey, and Theo, if you want."
"Really? Thanks!" The two girls then continued on down to the kitchen, chattering indistinctinvely.
"Casey! Theo!" Lily called from the kitchen. A few seconds later, the two guys appeared on the scence." guess what? Jen's a Ranger and she'll be rooming with us! Isn't that great?"
"Yeah, Lil. Welcome to the Team, Jen!" Casey greeted.
"Oh, Jen?" Theo asked. "What color are you?"
"Pink. Haven't you noticed?" the girl turned around.
"Not really." But you do look cute. What the heck?! Where'd that come from?
"Anyways, after work tomorrow, why don't we all hang out at the loft? You know, get to know each other." Jennifer proposed.
"Sounds great."
"Cool."
"I'm in."
"Tomorrow, it is, then."
