Tori beamed hugged him tighter and before she could stop herself brush a quick kiss at the corner of his mouth. Then she flamed, shicked, and looked down stepping away. "I'm sorry. I...was just so happy to be me again. I..it must have been aweful for you, though," she said in a hushed whisper

Rex cleanered his thraat and closed his eyes. "On that case...i'm afraid I'm still unconscious," he said in a conspirative whisper

Billie rolled her eyes. "She's a bit smarter than that I think," she declared and stood, shaking her head at the pair before walking over to help Beez

"The bed's assessing his damage, as well as Beez," Taran stated, looking at Billy thoughtfully

Lammy appraoched them. "I need to know soon what he's done. I can't even attaempt to pull Ryla back together until I know," she said softly

Wood blushed, " Don't be sorry, it was awful, but you just did a fantastic job of dtopping me thinking about," butterfly were flying round Woods stomach, and because he couldn't resist and wanted that nice warm feeling back he moved in on Tori aiming a kiss for her lips, after all he'd been thinking about them being back to normal for weeks.

Nathan laughed, he lay back down on the floor though woozily, and was nodding off again, "I ain't going to twit tale on you," he said sleepily, proclaiming his support.

Autumn nodded,

A rather uncomfortble grunt and Billy started to stir,

"what on earth did you do Billy?" A concerned Tommy asked him,
Billy opened his eyes meekly, "Overload, tried to fix the defeciencies in the morphing grid, overcompensated."

Tori flushed but was jumping for joy on the inside as she didn't deflect his aim one little bit.

Rex's only answer was a grunt. He really was rather out of it though

Tai brushed a bit of hair from Ryla's face and looked up. "Beez, get the boy wonders down there teleported onto a couple of these beds," he instructed

Nathan and Rex were immediately telported the short distance to the remaining two beds

Billie nodded, the readings she and bBeez were going over saying the same thing

Lammy went to to look and nodded as well. "Well, then, if no one else attempts to be a hero, I'll try and get Ryla back together first thing tomorrow. I think we've had enough exceotement for the time being," she declared softly

Wood smilled sheepishly , he felt an awful lot better now that was for sure, "Well we all need cheering up now, maybe proper Autumn can open her presents,"Wood suggested,

Nathan was fast asleep on the medibed, he'd been teleported too,


"Just fixing the grid , i didn't intend of causing the swaps, good though, happy birtday Autumn," he smilled and with that Billy was out for the night.

Autumn grinned at the idea and smilled at Billy, she mosied over to the table of presents quite amazed , "guys i haven't had this many presents in all my other years put together."

Tori flushed slightly but kept one arm wrapped around Wood's waist and turned toward Autumn. "Well, looks at these people here Autumn. They all came to party and they couldn't get in without a present for you," she teased mischeviously

It wans't only Wood that had seen the change. Ryla had watched, seeing the coloring spirits of each person fly past her, though they were solid, and she could see their forms. Tori, Nathan, Rex Autumn ... but she was still here ... scattered around. She hadn't been concentrating to know that Lammy had figured a way to pull her together, so she was still hoplessly ad. Thoug hseing Tai holding ehr body to him brought warmth, some hope that maybe ... just maybe she might get back there ...

Zoe groaned heavily, and her eyelids fluttered. She too had ben in the same body, like Rex, the whole time. Zoe sat up very slowly, and reached to rub her head, not finding the longer Auburn strands, but her own platinum blonde shag bob. her first instinct would have been to whoop outloud, but her vocal chords felt lik she hadn't used them in days ... which in truth was right .. her body had ben empty. She opened her eyes slowly and they stung i nthe light. After a few moments of adjusting, she saw her brother, and she smiled. She couldn't string words together just yet, until the ache went down in her throat, so she simply flung her arms around him and grinned, hugging her brother, "... H-Hey ..." she looked over to where she had been before, where Autumn was now, and graoned, as she saw her PDA scattered in a heap of wires, obviously dropped, landed on and stepped on during the blackout ... "Great ..."

THough Maeve hadn't been able to see any of the spirits like Wood and Ryla had, she certainly felt the lot of it. All that energy displaced, the overloa of the grid. The use and disperse of eneregy is what gave Mave her strength, and albiet, weakness. When the overload happened and all the spirits, Maeve had tried to cling to something, and ended up grabbing onto Raoul unintentionally. Her breathing was shallow, and she was glowing, not enough to show i nthe dark, but her own energy reacted with the others, she could sense the power. Once the lights returned, Maeve found it hard to stand, she was shaken from it, so she held to Raoul, and brethed in and out slowly, trying to catch her breath.

Adam didn't move until the lights came back on, in which time he moved to Trini, reaching for her arms, a reflex reaction, "Well ..." he smiled, "At least , almost everyone's abck to normal," he didn't mention Ryla becasue he saw the look in Tai's eyes, the same look he know he'd have if anything happned to Trini ... or if she refused to marry him ...

Charlie had remained stealthily stil and quiet. With ehr training, she had been able to pick up on sounds and breahting, but it wans't a threat here, just ... instinct. Papa always said be ready for battle.

Once the lights came back on, she'd moved to sit a bit out of th way, let all the action go on with the ones involved, she hung abck, the only one besides Winter not to be affected in the switches ...

Kim smiled and nodded, taking the piece. She poked at i,t not really hungry. She wanted to hold him, wanted to kiss him ... but felt so horrible ... she'd mucked up their relatinship again ... but she looked up and attempted a small smile, trying to ease Tommy, ven if that wans't possible.

Tommy managed a brief smile back, taking a bite out of his piece of cake, a piece of the pink ranger, how ironic a roving part of his mind thought as a roving part of his mind focused in on Kat, and a roving eye too, his other eye still fixed on Kimberley, he was in enough torment already without the recent bombshell.

"Billy's going to be okay," he said a pretty lack lustre attempt at conversation.

Kim looked down at her piece of cake, and found she'd been prodding and stabbing at the green ranger, Perfect I even mangle the ckae Tommy too ...[/i]

SHe sighed and nodded, "That's good. I would hate to have him hurt ..." she frowned a bit and took a bite of cake, sighing, not daring to look him in the eye, ashamed ... why couldn't he have ju tssigned the papers? She'd be single, free .. and happy with Tommy ...

i'm pulling the bored outta my skull card and ending this party and this day...we need to get Ryla back so our friendly magical buffs can get back to figuring out how to free Solaria...and we need a decint battle complete with Zords. Any objections?

lol, none, time for a dragonzord, zord too XD , and i want to see rito purple ranger in action

Next day

Lammy was making sure the CC was mostly empty, so..she was doing this during school hours. Not even Billie or Felix was haunting the place. She didn't need a huge audience. What if she screwed things up again? That'd be aweful

Taran was there. To help. He'd suggested if they tried together, they wouldn't expend so much energy singularly.

Tai was there. He'd absolutely refused not to be

Beez was monitoring things, so naturally she was there as well
--

Widow stood in the throne room of the palace and drew a circle with her finger in the air. "I spy, with my little eye...a prome target to attack," she said softly. Sunny Days Childcare was written on the side of the building that shimmered into veiw. She smirked evilly

just setting up an oppertunity..i think jaycee dibbed next monster

Nathan still hadn't quite got over all his swaps, he was sound asleep at home, having teleported there around 5 ish feigning flu to his parents,

Braith watched him intrigued, she got Chelseas attention who was also watching him, Nath would have jumped with surprise if he'd been awake to see his two sisters watching him sleeping with sibling love and wonder in their eyes,
"<must be feeling more like his old self again, he's doing that cute pouty thing with his lips again in his sleep>" she signed to Chelsea.

Autumn hadn't opened most of her presents , only Win's so far, she was way to preoccupied , she sat behind the counter, biting at her nails, she had to man the YC, but it still wasn't going to stop her thinking of Ryla and in honesty worrying Taran was going to knock himself out again.
A bag of her presents was on the floor she was meant to be opening them.

Winter was sitting at a booth in the YC, uniform finally back on again, doing some of the work, the finances were spread under his arms, a cold coffee the side of him untouched, he wasn't focusing on the finances though, he sat biting his finger nails the mirror image of his sister, worrying about Lammy getting knocked out,

Rei watched them from where she was sitting with Sora, " they do make me giggle sometimes, I'm glad i've got a family like them," she smilled,

Sora pulled her in to a hug with his arm that was over her shoulders,

Rei smilled , "and when i sort out that sister of mine, no more curse for you and you'll be all mine," she smilled.

Sora looked at her pensive, "Rei you don't have to be jubilant, I know she's going to get me again before i'm clear of all this,"

Rei eyes showed there true worry, "I won't let her ," she said sttubornly , "not without a fight,"

.......

Billy was still outcold on a medibed.

Tommy stood in the CC, a quick detour before the conference, he was there to help as much as he could with Billy out of it, he did know quite a bit about ranger tech, but he wasn't no Billy.

Lammy was setting her stage, so to speak. Since she had Ryla's body now, she didn't really need the doll. But she decided it wouldn't hurt (and would make her feel better as well). She discussed everything at length with Taran. WHat they were trying to do was comletely new magick...as in it'd never been attempted before...that they knew of anyway

Taran watched for a long moment then looked around quietly. He turned toward Tai. "Sure you wanna be here. Things may not go according to plan..." he gestured toward Billy. "As we all know," he stated

Tai shook his head. "Nope. I'm staying," Tai stated

Kat aappeared, her arms around a large box. Since she didn't have a job at the present, Lammy had asked her for her assisstance, thus she'd been off collecting things from DF...a woman she found rather reminded her of the aboriginal shamaness her aunt and uncle's family deals with on their farm often. "All right. I have everything you asked for and Dawn Feather sends Grandmother's blessings," she stated to Lammy and Taran

Taran smiled slightly and chuckled. "Thanks, ma'am," he said politely and freed her from the box and took it to lammy who began to layout certain items in key places. She wasn't taking any chances

Kat smiled. "Please, just call me Kat," she said and turned to consult with beez about something and smiled casually at Tommy before moving on to engage Beez in a discussion

Tommy felt butterflies flutter in his stomach, a little voice in his head told him to grow up, crushing after two girls , plus all the other problems, part of Tommy was really looking forward to tonnes of Dinosaur lectures, anything to escape his current dilemma, he could talk over old times with Anton even the more bizzarre one which were begginning to seem to Tommy easier times.

Tommy smilled back, he stood eagerly waiting for Kat to finish talking to Beez, she was so pretty those deep blue eyes of hers they made his heart light up when she smilled, the same way it does when Kim has that mischevious look on her face,
Tommy was really annoyed with himself, he was just about ready to make everyone call him Dr. O and not have a personal life at all.

Winter looked worried, "I should have got Hayley to come and help," he sighed mostly to himself.

Done with Beez, Kat turned to Tommy, hearing him speak. "Did you say something, atommy?" she asked, real interest on her face. When not evil she was really quite guiless and nice, wasn't she. She also majorly respected his relationship with Kim, which had been quite obvious since she arrived here.

Lammy sighed and put Taran and Tai to work setting things up. SHe was more or less procastinating

"Not really, just giving myself a guilt trip for not getting Hayley to come and help , she nearly knows as much about this stuff as Billy, if not the same," Tommy managed a smile, "Don't mind me i'm just down in the dumps,"

Kat nodded some. "Who's Hayley and why are you down in the dumps?" she asked him with real concern. The last time she saw him so down was when Kim dumped him via 'Dear John' letter.

the other three consider to set up a strange wicked ritual area around Ryla's body

"OOh Hayley," he'd known her so long he always forgot no one else did, "my best friend from college, and partner in crime back in reefside," he said with a smile,"just complicated problems," he said , "not quite like a dear John letter," he said with a brief smile as if he'd read her mind , but Kat just knew Tommy so well.

major love triangle XD
