Chapter Text
With the monster destroyed and the city safe, the Rangers opted to return to their normal attire. All eyes turned to Shelby and Tyler, who were now dressed in fancy clothes instead of their normal street clothes.
"Wow. You guys look spiffy," Riley said. They both shared a look, one that conveyed we can't keep this a secret now.
"We're going to a fundraiser at City Hall. Ms. Morgan asked us to go because she has other plans."
"Make sure to take lots of pictures."
"We will," Shelby promised. Bye."
She grabbed Tyler by the wrist and led him away.
"Koda and I are leaving too. I've asked him to assist me on a project. It would be premature to discuss it but I think it might be of help for us in the near future," Ivan explained. Chase and Riley watched them leave.
Riley turned to his friend and looked him up and down. He was wearing his usual clothes but it was a Friday night and Riley knew it wasn't likely for Chase to be without any plans. "Let me guess. You have a date?"
"How'd you know?"
"Lucky guess. Well, I'm heading to the base to finish cleaning up the mess I made when the alarm went off."
"You were surprised; it wasn't your fault."
"True, but Ms. Morgan said I still had to clean it up. See ya."
Chase started to watch him leave but he quickly caught up. "I'll go with you. I left my board there and I'm meeting Amy outside of the museum."
"Is Amy the girl with blond or red hair?"
"Neither. She has black hair."
Riley laughed. He wished he himself could be as lucky when it came to dating. Such was his life, he figured, and being a Power Ranger had become enough of a distraction to allow him to focus on other things.
"Hey, do you feel okay?" Chase asked.
"Sure. Why?"
"Euphoria blasted all of us with that orange beam of light. I'm just wondering what it was supposed to do."
Riley shrugged his shoulders. "Who knows? We were morphed though, so we were probably protected."
"Yeah, I bet you're right."
