"Well my mom was a third grade teacher," Jennifer said. "In fact she was my third grade teacher." She got a faraway look in her eyes. "I was so upset about that. The other kids thought I was teacher's pet and would tell on them. It wasn't until a new girl started that I finally made a friend. It took a little while but the rest of the kids gradually warmed up to me." She smiled. "When I was in the sixth grade I used to sometimes help her in her classroom. They were just so eager to learn. So I would like to teach that grade."

"Well, if I was back in school, I'd love to have you as my teacher. Your sweet, charming, understanding and beautiful." Nolan said as he got red before he mustered up the confidence and grabbed Jenn's hand and held it.

Jennifer felt her cheeks grow warm as a blush spread across her face at his compliment. She looked down to hide her face and then her eyes widened when her took her hand.

"Remember how I stated that maybe that there's a guy who's shy and didn't know how to approach you with his feelings? I was talking about myself." Nolan said as he held Jenn's hand. "I can't hide my feelings anymore. I'd like to be your goofball. Your an amazing, sweet, caring and passionate woman." Nolan said as he looked deep into Jenn's eyes.

Jennifer's breath caught in her throat as he admitted his feelings for her. She looked down at their hands for a moment as she tried to put her own feelings into words. "From the day I met you I've seen your bravery, your willingness to do what's right and your kind heart." She looked up at him and placed her free hand on the side of his face. "I wouldn't want anyone else to be my goofball."

After getting chewed out by Jules, Joey retreated to his quarters, getting a shower in to wash away the training sweat and dirt. When he was done, he sat on his bed replaying that conversation over again, hating that she left the way that she did but all it did was put more pressure on himself to win this war so that he'd at least soften the proverbial blow. He just hoped that will all of the stress, he doesn't lose what mattered most to him.
It didn’t take too long for Daniel to remember this location. So he breathed out of his nervousness and knocked on the door to Joey’s room. There was a long moment and he had already started drafting his apology for intrusion while trying to wait patiently.

"Yeah!?" The sound of Daniel knocking on his door, brought the Red Ranger back to reality for a brief moment. The large door slid open, revealing Daniel on the other side. He was staring at Daniel for a moment, debating on whether or not he wanted to entertain anyone at the moment. After a brief mental deliberation, he determined that Daniel only meant well. He waved his hand, motioning for him to enter.

Memphis continued his walk, continuing to ride high off of the wave of pride he felt with saving those people and feeling appreciated while doing it.
"Hey! Hey you! Hero Boy!"
Memphis turned around to see the person calling him was a woman. She was one of the patrons in the store that was almost robbed by those criminals. "Can I help you?"
"I could have taken care of myself you know."
"Excuse me?" Memphis paused, closing his bag of hot cheetos and putting them in the same hand holding his tea.
"Those thugs who tried sticking up the store. I didn't you to play hero with your fancy moves."
"You're welcome." Memphis admired her pride. It reminded him of his early days with the RPM team. "What's your name?"
"It's Rachel. And don't think that just because you saved those people that I'm going to swoon all over you either."
"The thought never crossed my mind." Memphis deadpanned, appreciating the entertainment. "Was that all you planned on telling me?"
Rachel seemed taken aback by how nonchalant Memphis was. Normally, guys would seize this opportunity to overly boast, sleep with her, or a combination of the two. "I guess. Are you off to save some kittens from a tree or something? Don't let me keep you."
"No. I'm actually heading home." Memphis pointed at the large Delta Command building a few miles away.
"The big dog head building. You work there or something?" Rachel asked.
"Something like that."
"Oh that explains it! You work there and think you're some super hero because you watch the Power Rangers train every once in a while."
"That's exactly it. If you want, you can come by and see me mop the floors. If we're lucky, we'll see one of the Rangers wave at us!" Memphis' sarcasm started oozing out. He was oddly entertained by the banter with this woman. It had been a while since he enjoyed this type of dialogue.
"Oh so you're a comedian now, Hero boy?"
"That's my night job when I'm not saving women who tend to poke their chest out." Before he knew it, he was having a full on conversation albeit one with humorous banter and snarky responses to keep the mood light.

Breathing a low sigh of relief through his nostrils, Daniel went inside his Red comrade's quarters. His good eye briefly observed this place until he reminded himself what he's here for. "Hi Joey. I noticed you're feeling down so brought you something to cheer you up." He said with honesty as he took out an item from his trenchcoat pocket and opened his hand. It was one of Joey's favorite snacks. "I know it's not much, but I hope this will make you feel better."

"Thanks." Joey stood up and walked over to Daniel, accepting the snack and placing it on his dresser in case he was hungry later. "I'll be fine. It was just another case of me being a dumb ass. Nothing for you to worry about." Joey smiled, briefly clapping Daniel's shoulder, showing appreciation for his kind gesture.

Daniel tilted his head. "I do not think you're a dumb ass." He contradicted firmly. "You make mistakes. Everyone does that, even me. It's part of a human way." He assured Joey. "What makes you think that?"

"Nothing you need to worry about. It's just something I've gotta process on my own."
Joey didn't want to go into too many details on the matter, although it wasn't really a secret. He made the decision to push his lady away so he could focus on the mission. He just hoped that this didn't come back to blow up in his face.
"Don't worry. I'll be good. I appreciate you checking on me."

"I wouldn't want anyone else to be my goofball." "You sure it wasn't my hard head and my stubborn attitude?"Nolan said as he smiled and was able to breath a bit better after he let his feelings out into the open and the moment her hand rested on the side of his face. Today was a good day. Phenomenal even. Nolan made a mental note to thank Memphis for the opening.

"I knew I forgot something," Jennifer said. She laughed softly and rested her head against his shoulder. "I will have to add it to the things I love about you."

"So what do you do when you're not dreaming of saving the world?" Memphis and his new friend Rachel continued to walk and conversing with one another.
"I'm a DJ when I'm not working a stuffy 9-5. What about you? I don't think your career choice was to be a Power Ranger groupie. Unless you're into that sort of thing.."
"You'd probably like that but no." Memphis answered. "I used to be a quarterback in high school. Now I've spent the rest of my years as a...protector of sorts."
"Is that a cute way of saying you worked security?" Rachel smirked, sneaking a feel of his arm.
"Nope. It was more than that. The pay was crap but the benefits..." Memphis trailed off, thinking back to his time with his friends back home, especially Regi with whom he developed a relationship with.

Daniel thought of what to say but decided not to. The last thing he didn't want to do was pushing people further to the point of snapping at him. So he respect his teammate's wishes. "You're welcome. It's the least I can do." He smiled, happy that his gesture cheered him up a bit. He then head towards the door, but before he could leave, he glanced at Joey. "Just in case if you need anything, if you want to vent, I'm all ears. I may not know everything, but I'll try. Okay."
