(A/N: The timing of this chapter comes after a tragedy

RIP Jason David Frank a.k.a. Tommy Oliver of the Power Rangers1973 - 2022

Grew up to see him only become the White Tigerzord Mighty Morphin Ranger and bits of Zeo, only to see him become Black Dino Thunder then see the Super Megaforce and Ninja Steel Cameos. Always impressive that he started off as villain then ally, then leader into a mentor.

I wrote this as a comment but gonna let it here again

Green Mighty Morphin Power Ranger, White Mighty Morphin Power Ranger (Tigerzord), Red Zeo Ranger, Red Turbo Ranger, Black Dino Thunder Ranger

No matter the color, one thing is the same, a legend.

Rest in Peace and may your soul be in the Power Grid

Onto the chapter)

August 11, 2019
Hotel
Toronto, Ontario, Canada
Morning

After a grueling match 24 hours ago, P.A.3.K. was resting in his hotel room. He woke up and did his morning stretches and now needed to find breakfast.

After washing up, he was informed by Johnny that the hotel had a breakfast buffet downstairs. He joined them on the way down but for some reason, they let P.A.3.K. sit on his own table as the rest sat near him.

Johnny: Sorry man. Candice wants us two to have our own table to discuss married couple things. You'll understand when you're at that point. Well sooner or later *smirks*

Candice: *playfully slaps Johnny's arm* Johnny! Pay no heed to my husband's silliness. 

Dakota: And dude, B.R.E. wants us to have a table together so yah. Not that we're other-ing you but best you get your food first. Leave your phone too. Don't worry, we won't flood your phone with our pics *smiles*

P.A.3.K. got his food first as Dakota and Johnny were able to contact Tegan to join P.A.3.K. for his breakfast. 

Tegan over on her side was partly awake as she was all pouty expecting P.A.3.K. on the other side of the screen.

Tegan: Cheree!?! Kick ro...

Dakota: Now before you finish that, all in good fun. Besides, he's been waiting for ya. 

Johnny: I kinda heard you two will chat so we helped.

Dakota: Oh, we got to go Johnny. P.A.3.K.'s coming back!

Tegan was unable to respond back as she was blushing. Dakota left P.A.3.K.'s phone laying faceup. P.A.3.K. returns and was shocked to see a blushing Girl with the Shiniest Wizard.

P.A.3.K.: Steff! You called? 

Tegan: *shyly shakes her head* I wish I could but Kota used your phone to...

P.A.3.K.: *realized what happened* of course. Now I get why they had me have a table all to myself.

Johnny: *from nearby* So it can be intimate my guy..oww!

Candice smirked as she slapped Johnny's arm again as she gave P.A.3.K. a thumbs up to continue their chat with Tegan.

Tegan: Ah, You guys are still over in Toronto, yeah?

P.A.3.K.: Yup. Just having breakfast and...

Tegan: Ooooh. Luckily, I got finished with my workout and rehab along with the NXT UK team so now I'm gonna go to the nearest eatery for a bite myself. Luckily I finished my order when Cheree and Johnny used your phone to call me. *smiles*

P.A.3.K. set his plate down and his glass of orange juice as he props his phone up with the glass as a makeshift stand as the both of them began to snack away. 

While mixing in bites with small talk, P.A.3.K. listened on as Tegan recounted the first few days of rehab with the NXT UK team.  

Tegan: So, they helped get my knee away from pain but now I am feeling it return slowly. Surely I will be able to compete again and hope I do so *smiles* So, how did the last few hours go?

Tegan asked, looking all adorable with curious wide eyes at her friend on the other side. P.A.3.K. melted as she asked.

P.A.3.K.: Well, it wasn't exactly a fine match but more of a mix of WWE and cagefighting so a lot of shots and hits.

Tegan: Oh, but is your head ringin'?

P.A.3.K.: Not as much as after last night. We won't be competing in the coming NXT.

Tegan: Oh no! *pouts*

P.A.3.K.: We knew what will happen but we got just the way to settle the score between Chris (Kassius) and I.

Tegan: Then I'm all game for when it happens *smiles*. Toronto's got a lot of good spots. Want to video call after your time out with the rest of the gang there?

P.A.3.K.: I had thought I'd be travelling alo....

Johnny then smirks and cuts in.

Johnny: Say no more Steff, we'll handle this big guy here.

Dakota: Yah, before he become's a friendly Canadian girl's new housekeeper yeah?

Tegan blushed at the thought as P.A.3.K. defended his friend.

P.A.3.K.: Cheree, kindly dial it down a bit.

Shayna: Huh, Romeo's defending Juliet. Ah the star-crossed lovers

Tegan: We aren't lovers! *pouts*

P.A.3.K.: Just friends!

Johnny: *smugly shrugs his shoulders* That's how it starts usually.

Candice: Hey Steff, let us handle Pat here first alright? You two can talk it out after.

P.A.3.K.: Uh, that's what I said.

Tegan: Yeah!

Dakota: Okay, Shiniest Crutchiest Juliet, we won't let your Romeo away from sight. He will still be your housesitter and pupper sitter.

P.A.3.K.: Okay, I'll join your tour! 

Johnny: Man we were just kidding but the more the merrier as they say!

Tegan: Best you let them tour you or join their tour around Toronto. It will be fun *smiles* I will call you later.

P.A.3.K.: Yeah, see you later then.

P.A.3.K. turned off the video chat as he joined his new friends as they toured around Toronto before they would have to turn in and prepare to return to Full Sail University by the following week.

Timeskip to that evening after the tour
P.A.3.K. was back in his hotel room he waited for Tegan to signal to him to call her. As soon as he received her reply, he propped the phone sideways against the wall as he sat back on the chair by the window. 

Tegan: Ooooh a beautiful night side view!

P.A.3.K.: What the hotel can offer. We need to do an NXT here in Toronto before heading back to Full Sail.

Tegan: Ahh yeah, the post TakeOver NXTs at times.

P.A.3.K.: Gonna take a lot of getting used to.

Tegan: But I bet there are big things in store for you

P.A.3.K.: Same with you. I mean, you told me you had good progress with rehab

Tegan: Yeah, but enough about me. How is Toronto so far?

P.A.3.K.: They kept making me get a picture. Even had me stand a bit outside of the CN Tower in a failed attempt to make me look bigger than it

Tegan giggled like a school girl.

Tegan: Well you are quite the big bubba

P.A.3.K.: Bubba?

Tegan: I used that word before *smiles then sighs*

P.A.3.K.: I heard that sigh, Steff. What's bothering you?

Tegan: I miss you all.

P.A.3.K.: I miss you too

Tegan blushed deeper red as she heard P.A.3.K.

P.A.3.K.: *notices* Oh gosh, I'm sorry if I made it uncomfort....

Tegan giggled then gave a reassuring smile to P.A.3.K.

Tegan: You think after I made known my sexual orientation, my pasts, my worries I'd still be uncomfortable around you?

P.A.3.K.: I've never had anything like this to be honest with you. Some people just see me and either use me or run away once I'm no longer useful to their cause or need.

Tegan: Hey, change that mindset will ya. I'm here not because I need a constant chat companion. I'm here and entrusted my puppers and house to you because of you. All of you Pat is what I like. An honest, gentle, giant of a man that I can open up to without any worry of being misused or tricked myself. 

P.A.3.K.: So relaxed but I hope that you aren't pressured into being relaxed with me.

Tegan: Nonsense you cheeky plonker! Out of anyone I've met, I have trusted you with my dogs, my house and now, my feelings. I just hope I'm not being too much on ya

P.A.3.K.: Oh no no! You're not. In fact, I hope just as you don't feel me weighing you down, I wish the same for you

Tegan: Wait, *blushes* what's going on with us? Why are we just going off like this? *giggles and covering her cheeks*

P.A.3.K.: Because maybe we feel the same way despite the distance? Steff, gosh I cannot keep this any longer. I know we're miles apart but I like you.

Tegan: Pat, I like you too...

P.A.3.K.: Not just like like a friend, but more than that

Tegan: Tosh, Pat don't play with me like this. *blushes* I don't want to pressure you or make things awkward. I mean, I let you know what I am and my stand on stuff like this.

P.A.3.K.: I love you Steffanie Newell!

Tegan was shocked and left in a surprised state as she heard those words. 

Tegan: Despite the distance?

P.A.3.K.: It is as the saying goes, absence makes the heart grow fonder.

Tegan: Are you sure you really want to deal with me?

P.A.3.K.: I am. I am sure of it. I just hope you are too that....

Tegan: Yes! You plonker! *teary eyed* Distance can kick rocks that we cannot hug *giggles and wiping her tears*

P.A.3.K. felt himself melt as Tegan had said yes. 

P.A.3.K.: Gonna let it settle, but that means, will you be my girlfriend?

Tegan: I said yes didn't I you cheeky plonker you! *blushes* I love you Patricio Jose!

P.A.3.K. and Tegan blushed as they have finally let their honest feelings out for one another despite the distance. The only gesture they can do is blow a kiss to the camera. Tegan "caught" P.A.3.K.'s kiss and places the "kiss" on her heart as she acts like she got shot and melted. P.A.3.K. did the same as both giggled and laughed at the gesture.

Tegan: It's getting late here *pouts*

P.A.3.K.: We wait for now Steff. But expect your loving now-boyfriend to welcome you home with open arms.

Tegan: Awww cheeky but hey, good luck with whatever you have in store *blushes and giggles* boyfriend.

P.A.3.K.: Good night my Sweet Steff. Kick ass in rehab!

Tegan: Good night luv!

Both blew kisses at the camera again and turned off the video feed from their end. P.A.3.K. felt warm inside as he had finally given his heart to Tegan and they have become official even if it was over miles away and through a cellphone screen. For Tegan, she hugged her blanket as she was all giddy and warm that finally, she is now in a relationship but this time with a loving and trusting man.
