Autumn grabbed Becca in a big hug, "We'll deal with it as it comes ," Autumn smilled , "I hope you realise, you'll always be one of us,and in 10 years time we need to be nattering on like Billy, Trini and the others,"

Becca laughed and hugged her ack. "Absolutely we will," Becca agreed

All of what was being said by the olders , apparently, rangers wasn't totally lost on her ... the one thing however that didn't escape her was the fact on Rocky saying welcome tio the big top .. whic meant ...

She was a Power Ranger?

Charlie watched ROcky disapeered in a light flash, and then two otehrs, appearing, gtiving her looks. She crossed her arms over her chst and looked down at her shoes. She felt quite out of place, especially since she was in an akward age range. Obvoiusly she was older than these other rangers ... but so much younger than the former rangers ...

God, she was a Power Ranger. But the coin, the ... robot girl thing said she couldn';t use it much ... until the right coin was located ... she was confused now ... and showd so as ryla patted her on the back.

"Heh ... gets easier with time ..." she shrugged, not having much otehr advice, other than, "And don't be too alarmed if weird things start happening to you ... but do let Beez and Billy know ... just to be safe," she then rounded on Billy, "And what the hell man ... WInter's here and you just forget to tell us?"

Ryla's eyes shrouded in an angry way, very unlike Ariana's features. She shook her head, but smiled slighrtly, "Ias he ... there must be hope .. .right?"

--

MAeve turned away grinning, "Very well ... we'll leave you ..." she grabbed jace's arm and hauled hi maway downstairs, shaking her head, "Boys ..."

Billy blushed a little, " i didn't want to tell you guys when it didn't look like i'd got any good news to share, I can see i was wrong now, there's still hope he's starting to show progress,"
Billy paused, "i'm sure you can understand Ryla," he looked to the blues too, "Felix, Billie, that with our current problems already on your mind I didn't want to add Winter in an indefinate coma,"

"Shall we go grab a bite to eat then, ?" Autumn asked.

Nathan had been up hours he'd even done all of Tai's training infact he'd quite startled himself, he could have swore he was less docile than that doing as he was told, he picked up a pencil and piece of paper and sat down in Tai's main room starting to doodle, the forms of the gang in a group pose started to emerge on the paper, his drawing was really good , art was one of his subjects, he took a minute to laugh at his freaky overachieving, "brill, now i'm turning into Rex," he laughed aloud to himself.

Ros pounced down the stair's "Come on, i'll make breakfast, it's fry up time, we need to celebrate,"

"Eh...whatever..." Billie told Billy absentl, already looking over the data Beez had collected thus far t her console with Felix peering over her shoulder

XD that has to look strange to Ryla XD considering her breif Rex crush
--

Becca smiled. "Yeah, ok. SOunds great. I'm famished," she declared
--

Tori slipped into the youth center, incognito, meaning she was wearing oversized, not blue clothes and Billie's hair under a ski cap. She made her way over to the counter and sat heavily with a sigh

Taran appeared slightly behind her, though coincidentally so. He needed an expresso fix
--

Tai closed the door and everyone and proceded to hunt down something that wasnt plaid or some faded out teeshirt or jeans or steeltoed workboots on taran's wardeobe

Autumn grinned, "Brill my place then," Autumn paused, "wel.. you know what i mean ," she said locking the doors and teleporting out to the alley behind the Youth center.

Wood laughed, he couldn't help it, " You going to rob a bank then," he asked. " Your fellow geek need's resetting,"Wood said jovially to Taran a bit of a joke at Felix and Billie.

Becca was lead in and sat shaking her head at Autumn. She wasn't fooled. In place of Zack, who hadn't been hanging around as much lately, or Rei, who also hadn't...she turned to Taran. "Better go talk to her..." she said quietly and explained to him what was happening

Taran nodded. One didn't hang round as a creepy alien without picking on things. He slipped past Zoe and located Autumn at the fryer. "Autumn..?" he asked since no one else was about

Tori smiled shakily and laughed, hugging him readily, which was probably odd and hoped Rei (Tori wasnt aware she knew what was happening really) didn't see Billie hugging Sora

"mmm, " Autumn said , her attention very much on the fryer, which now contained one hell of a lot of fries, someone was very intent on majorly comfort eating. She didn't look up probably trying to hide her face altogether.


A large calendar on the wall marked out holidays, Zack was signed off till next week, Rei's handwriting was scrawlled on that day, 'be gone all morning , be back later," bizzarely enough it followed with some kanji, Autumn hadn't noticed it yet,
"Cheer up Autumn," it said "you look beautiful in yellow,"
a doodle of Nanna ordanained a few days from now, Winters handwriting followed, "Nanna back from Reefside, SS coming next week."

Wood grinned, "oo i've missed hugs , want my body back though, Sora has stumpy little arms ," he sniggered, yeah Wood told a bit of a white lie but what the hell it was funny.

Taran glanced around a bit...he'd never been in this part of the YC before. He read the calender and chuckled at Rei's scribbling (when dealing with people from all over the globe you either learn the language or you're lost). He looked into the fryer and sighed, running a hand through his..felix's hair..who's roots were showing but he had no idea (or the desire to) how to touch them up. "Becca told me about her Mom....it's not a bad thing you know...her goin' away...and if this isnt cleared up before then, we'll work something out so you won't have to leave in her place.

"I know it seems kinda scary, but when you've had as many peple on your team coming and going as much as I have, you learn to deal with it. That don't mean you can't have friendships with em. Bob and Shen told me the other day they were going to Australia when this is over...and I won't be with the other Reavers anymore...but that don't mean you can't worry or still keep and touch..you know..unless...it's Jace..." he said on a slightly amused note

Tori gave a muffled giggle. "Don't let him hear you say that. Besides...aren't these the arms that pick up that humongou sword?" she asked teasingly, making no attempt to move away

Ryla shook her head, eyeing the two blues. It was odd to say the least, but eh ...

Ryla turned to Charlie, "Alright ... since you're offically a part of the team. Time for some damage control on the whole ... us not in our body situation ..." she pointed to BIllie, "That lovely thing over there .. .is my body ... how I miss it." she pointed to the two of them, "Those are the blue rangers ... in the black and red ranger bodies ..." she thought a moment "You knw .. .we need like a chart ... with pictures, god that's be so much eaiser ..." she looked to BIlly, "And the other rangers need to be notified of the new developments ... Charlie and Winter ..."

Charlie simply nodded, though she was confused of course ... "HOw big is this ... team ..."

"Ohhhh ... huh ..." Ryla began counting on Ariana's fingers, "Me, Tai, Felix, Billie, Tori, Nathan, Wood, Becca, Autumn, Winter, Zoe, Rex, Taren, Sora, Ariana, and you ... 16 I guess ... wow ..." she hadn't realized the tam was that big ...

--

Zoe watched Autumn move behind the coutnr, and smlied, though she could tell something was up ... but she didn't pursue it since Taren was o nthe job. And she didn't even dare try his expresso ... he never touch it ...

Ariana walked into the YC slowly, yawning. SHe'd wanted to get more sleep but Zoe's parent were up early for work so ... she'd woke up to.

Ariana moved to the coutner and sat down, before resting her head on the coutner. She was wearing a pair of blak jeans and a white dress over it with a black zip hoodie over it. SHe was actually enjoying ZOe's fashion sense, it was qwuite nice ...

Autumn looked up, Becca's cheeks were a little tear stained, she sighed deeply, "I, i i i'm just sick of everything bad happening, it's bad enough worrying about Becca, then worrying i may have to go, i can't cope as it is there i want my freedom back ," she peered round," my kitchen, my home with no parents, my day-time shopping trips with Rei, girly night time chats with Rei, my my brother, "
Tears started to roll again, "i don't even know if he's okay,"

Autumn peered at the calender, "then Nanna's going to be back and the week after that Summer and Spring are coming, hows Zoe going to fool my family and keep up a convincing lie about Win's whereabouts," Autumn paused and looked at the calender, "has she left another message in kanji again?"she suddenly asked surprised, the tears stopped with shock.

Wood laughed , "well i was only kidding to be honest, no wonder Sora wears sleeved shirts, he's got arms like popeyes, i could probably squeeze you in two," he laughed . "Then big bad Glitch really wouldn't be happy,"

Billy nodded, "i'll call a meeting in a bit , introduce yourselves and point out your bodies," he exclaimed matter of factly. "MMm, you are a big team, biggest recorded, good age range too all the way from 16-23, Tommy bet Winter to that record though ," he laughed

Almost immediately upon Ryla's words about a chart, one apeared along with halograph Beez and began to explain the switches in a clear and concise way even a child would understand
--

"You look tired. Not used to being told to go to bed by concerned and caring parents, huh? Just the weird pink eyed cat.." Becca remarked to Ariana


Taran sighed. "Yes she did. SHe says for you to cheer up," he couldn't really bring himself to say the ret of it so he moved on. "And besidesm sweetheart, you aint the only one missing being you. I cain't fer shit and I'm afraid at any moment Tai's gonna do something with my body he wont be able to control and kill everybody by sheer clumsy accident. I miss being able to sleep as long as I need to...

"Sometimes I absolutely loath being trapped as Felix and I don't loath anything," he finished off with a sigh and rubbed the bridge of nose under his glasses
--

"Oh, she's not happy with me anyway for making her look pretty," Tori sat an sighed and moved away slightly, reluctantly

Charlie jumped a bit, but was able to take it in, nodding, "Ohkay ... aside fomr the initial diapeering and reappearing freaking me out ... I think I get it ..."

Ryla had to laugh again, "yea ... Beez is a little ... takes a bit to get used to her," she smiled and nodded to the real Beez, "I love the look by the way ... we have enough blonde anyways ..." she went to primp her hair, then remembered, "Right ... not blond right now ..." she shrugged and grinned, "SO Charlie ... you're a ranger now ..."

Charlie nodded and clutched onto the coin Beez had given her, "It appears so ... tell me chica .. .is it supposed to feel this way?" she held the coin tightly, feeling it vibrate, before soon it was gone, like it b]mleted away. SHe opened her hands and stared amazed as it was gone.

Ryla laughed again m,adn tapped Chalrie's wrists, which her cuffs now appeared. She shook her wrist, and her cuffs showed with the dino gem, "You 'll get usded to it ... we all have .. more or less ..."

Just hope she doens't pull a Kia ...

--

Ariana murmered a bit ebfore lifting ehr head, nodding, "In the home where I stay .. .there is not much to do other than t and sleep .. but in Zoe's home ... there is so much ..." she looekd toZoe, "I am marveled at that game box you have ... a PS2 ... that's what Tasren said it said o nthe side ..." she flexed her fingers, "I have played it quite a bit ..."

Zoe grinned and nodde,d "yea .. that was both mine and Felix's christmas gift, on of ... it's in my room since .. well since he got Beez to play with ..."

Autumn managed a bleak smile, " You know i think Rei knows more than she lets us cotton on, she keeps writing her normal notes to me in Kanji since the switch, they was always in english before, its like she wants to make sure they get read by me," Autumn pulled a piece of paper out of Becca's pocket, "look at this one, it was on the counter , not the usual place, talks about going away for two days, got something to do, tracing some memories, thinks shes found someone who'll help her remember," Autumn skimmed the details, she dropped the paper startled, " i misread that before, Autumn said it out in it's true form, then in english as if to be sure of it, "Sure big brother will be back with us soon, i'll make it so,"

"Oh my god, thats what Winter was saying to me," it finally dawned on her, "poor Rei having to re-remember all that," she always did do better feeling sorry for others.


"Ah well, " Wood sighed, "the sooner we're back to normal the better , i miss my dread, " that wasn't what Wood's brain had thought though, he stole a brief look at Becca, He wanted cheerfull cheerleading Tori back too, oh he loved just watching walk around school, it made waking up seem worthwhile.

Taran nodded thoughtfully. So that's why the little sister was keen on talking to Rei. She wanted information about Winter. He didn't talk out loud. He didn't think AUtumn would be able to handle the information right now. He merely smiled at her. "Now see there, next time you go getting all down in the dumps, just remeber, someone always has it worse," he stated
--

"Ah...yeah, not so big on video games..." Becca said with a shrug

Tori giggled. "Me too. Tall half asian guys don't do it for me I suppose," she stated then her eyes widened and she bushed and covered her cheeks, not beleiving she said that out loud
--

Beez smiled. "I hadn't thought about what apparance I would take...it had not cocerned me before, but I found one of Tori's magazines and compliled a few of the things I preferred," she eplained

Autumn sighed, she had it half in mind to swap with Rei, she drained off the fries and put them in a massive bowl, taking a very unlady-like handful and shooving them in her mouth, nothing spelled out depressed like Autumn eatting like a pig infront of Taran.
"Best go share with Becca," she said swallowing, "i can't go fattening her body up,"

Wood blushed too, "what you prefer dreadlocked, rather short freckled black boys with chubby cheeks,"

Ariana giggled a bit, she understood what they were talking about ... she'd spent some time with Beez, uploading best she could things on being this age. She was slowly progressing from the child mindset ...

--

Ryla graoned and stretched, "Well I've had enough fun here ... want to come back with me and introduce to the others? I'm sure they'll be keen on meeting you ..."

Charlie nodded, before looking down, "How are we supposed to ... gt there ..."

SHe smirked and nodde,dbeofre lifting her wrist, "The cuffs. Pressed the coin in and concenrated on exactly where you want to be ... we're going to the YC ... so best to concentrated on the alley outsdie ... much less conspicuous ..."

With that she disapeered in a flash of light ...

Charlie nodded tio gerself and presed the coin, thinknig hard. Soon enough she was beside Ryla though she landed a bit ahrd on her ass, grumbling, "Hope it gets smoother ..."

Ryla just laughed and pulled her in to the YC, and then towards the others, "Hey y'all ... I got some news ..."

"Taran chuckled. "Ok," he said and followed her out

Tori blushed bit nodded quickly

Becca looked up at Ryla and raised a brow
