Kwan Residence
Boston, Massachusetts
July 9th, 2002
It was supposed to be the happiest day of her life.
Trinity Jade Kwan, or Trini as she likes to be called, sat in the darkened living room; nursing her fourth glass of red wine as she allowed angry tears to fall from her brown eyes. She didn't care if her mascara was running down her face. She didn't care if she was still in her wedding gown; her veil sticking to her face and her ego bruised. She didn't care if she came home, after running out of the church, crying hysterically, trying her best not to trip and fall on the ground because her high heeled shoes were hurting her feet.
She just didn't care anymore.
Wiping her face with her free hand, the original yellow ranger started out the window; the reflection of her tear-stained face staring right back at her. She still couldn't wrap her mind around what had transpired earlier today. Here she was, being escorted down the aisle by her father, looking all happy, in love and anxious to start the next chapter in her life with the man standing at the alter. He was looking so handsome in his black tuxedo; his killer smile radiating off of his handsome face, his jet black hair slicked back and he was looking dapper. He appeared to be happy at the thought of getting married to her.
Only, deep down inside, he wasn't as happy as he thought he should be.
After her stint at the peace conference in Geneva, Switzerland, Trini returned to America and decided to pursue her dream of becoming a lawyer. A successful internship at her father's law firm lead to her attending Harvard law school in Boston and another successful internship with a prestigious law firm downtown.
And that's where she met Russell Chang.
He was handsome, older, smart and a highly regarded criminal defense attorney. He was immediately taken in by her charm, her wits, her smarts and her undeniable beauty when they accidently ran into each other; causing papers to fly out of her arms. Being the gentleman that he was, he helped her picked them up, but he never took his brown eyes off of her. After the situation was properly handled, he wasted no time in asking her out for lunch at a nice restaurant.
To his immediate shock and disbelief, she turned him down; saying that it was unethical for her to date a co-worker and that she has too much self respect to even go down that road. She promptly walked away from him without saying another word.
However, as she would soon find out, Russell was very persistent.
And his persistence eventually paid off.
In time, Trini has warmed up to him and agreed to go out to dinner with him. She actually was surprised to find that he was a great person to talk to and that they have quite a few things in common. It wasn't long before she really started to fall for him; especially after he kissed her while they were a romantic date in the park.
After over a year and a half of dating, Russell had a very important question to ask her and he was pulling out all the stops. He invited her family, his family and some of their closest friends at the office to a fancy Italian restaurant. It was there, with her father's blessing, that he got down on one knee and pulled out a stunning 18 carat diamond engagement ring and asked for her hand in marriage.
Overcome with emotion and giddiness, Trini eagerly accepted.
It was the most magical, most romantic moment of both of their lives.
They immediately set the date, hired one of the best wedding planners in all of Boston, invited their friends to be apart of this big moment and even one of the best caterers to plan the menu for the reception. Trini even reached out and contacted Kimberly Ann Hart, now Kimberly Ann Oliver (having married Tommy Oliver), her childhood best friend from Angel Grove, California to be her maid of honor. The rest of her friends wouldn't be able to attend her wedding due to prior commitments, so Kim was the only friend who was able to make it.
Everything was paid for, the food was gonna be fantastic, the music was gonna be entertaining. Russell and Trini couldn't ask for anything better, right?
Wrong!
Well, now, everything had just gone straight to hell. Trini still couldn't comprehend what made her fiancé drop a bombshell on her as they were supposed to be exchanging vows. Her heart was literally torn into pieces as Russell confessed that he was having second thoughts about the whole thing; especially after he revealed he has fallen in love with one of her bridesmaids and intended to marry her instead. The bride went from being all happy, joyous and elated to being heartbroken, shattered and humiliated in one fell swoop. Even everyone in the church were absolutely stunned at Russell's shocking admission.
After slapping him hard across his face, Trini picked up the hem of her wedding gown and ran out of the church, crying hysterically. Kim, her family and some of her friends attempted to go after her, but by the time they got outside, Trini was long gone; which was an incredible feat considering she was wearing high heeled shoes.
Now she was back in her apartment, sitting in the dark, nursing another glass of red wine and nursing her now broken heart. She grabbed the veil off her head and threw it down on the floor, getting sick to her stomach at the sight of it. She had every intention of taking her dress off and burning it, but Trini's known for being peaceful and only strike out when it's absolutely necessary. So, as much as she would love to have her own "Waiting to Exhale" moment, she wouldn't get any satisfaction later on.
No, what she needs to do is pick herself back up, dry her tears and remind herself that there are brighter days ahead of her. Though today has been utterly painful, it's not the end of the world. The Vietnamese beauty realized that she's gonna have to make some major changes in her life and in order for her to do that, she's gonna have to confront her past in order to make a brighter future for herself.
Because she has every intention of getting the hell out of Boston and going back to her familiar place: Angel Grove.
A knock on her door jolted her out of her self imposed funk. She didn't wanna deal with anyone right now, but knew whoever is at the door won't be going anywhere. Sighing deeply, she sat her wine glass down on the table and dragged her feet towards the front door, making sure to cut lights on as she was making her destination. Then she peered through her peephole to see who was there.
Not surprisingly, it was Kim. And she was looking extremely worried and apprehensive.
Not to mention she was still in her maid of honor's gown.
Taking a deep breath, Trini opened the door, only for the original pink ranger to immediately wrap her arms around her best friend and squeeze her tightly; causing Trini to look a little bit perplexed and feeling the air leaving her lungs.
"I...can't...breathe," she huffed, causing Kim to release her immediately.
"I'm so sorry, Tri. I wanted to come over here to check up on you. How are you feeling, hon?" Kim asked as she stepped inside the cozy apartment.
"Honestly? I feel like hell. I can't believe Russell would do this to me! It was supposed to be the happiest day of my life and he ruined it by confessing that he has fallen in love with that tramp I work with, Vivian!" Trini roared, more tears streaming down her face.
"Oh, Tri. My heart absolutely broke for you. I don't know what possessed him to do that, but if you even see him again, I'm sure he'll probably offer up a good explanation on why he did what he did," Kim said as they sat down on the sofa.
Trini snorted in annoyance. "I doubt that'll happen. I mean, what kind of person would stand at the alter and shout to over a hundred people that he's fallen in love with one of the bridesmaids and intends to marry her instead of me?! I mean, really, he's such a jackass for doing that!"
"Trini, I'd calm down before I end up having a stroke. So what happens now?" Kim asked as she reached over and rubbed her back soothingly.
The original yellow ranger sighed deeply. "I don't know. I can't even go to work without having to endure a pity party from my fellow co-workers. I'm thinking about leaving."
"Leaving? Leaving the law firm, right?" Kim asked, looking confused.
Trini looked at her best friend with determination in her eyes. "No, Kim. I'm thinking about leaving Boston altogether."
"I don't understand, hon. Where will you go?" Kim asked, looking curious and perplexed.
"Back to Angel Grove. I miss it there. I miss my family, I miss my friends. I'm going back to where life was much simpler for me before the peace conference," Trini revealed, rubbing her neck with her free hand.
"Angel Grove? Uh, hon, I hate to break it to you, but the only people living in Angel Grove that we know of is Adam and Tanya. Everyone else has relocated all throughout California," Kim reminded her, patting her shoulder gently.
Now it was Trini's turn to look perplexed. "What? Are you serious? I know you and Tommy live in Reefside, but I'm sure Adam and Tanya aren't the only ones living in Angel Grove, right?"
"Wrong. Like you said before, Tommy and I live in Reefside, Kat moved back to Sydney, Australia after her stint with the London Dance Academy and Billy ended up going with her after he came back from Aquitar. Zack and Angela are living in Los Angeles, Rocky and Aisha are living in San Francisco and Jason's living in Malibu. So, yeah, we all live hundreds of miles apart," Kim explained, causing Trini to groan ruefully.
"Great. It doesn't matter, though. I'm still going back to Angel Grove. I can't take staying here for another second. It's gonna take me some time to get everything in my apartment packed and put in storage. I have to hand in my notice at the law firm, cancel my gym membership; not to mention give everyone back the wedding gifts..." Trini rambled on and on.
"Hon, hon, it's okay. Let's take this step one at a time. Don't over-think or overwork yourself to a tizzy. Now, are you sure you want to go back to Angel Grove? Wouldn't you rather stay here and work some things out? After all, you were always the practical, responsible one of the group," Kim said, attempting to crack a joke.
Trini gave her best friend a tainted smile. "Yeah, I guess you're right. I need to think things clearly. Still, I'm moving back to Angel Grove. It's gonna take some time for me to get everything situated. Will you stay and help me out?"
"Of course, I will, sweetie. Anything you need, anything at all, I'll be there for you every step of the way," Kim assured her before wrapping her arms around the fragile woman. Trini ended up breaking down and crying again because she's still reeling from her now ex-fiancé's shocking betrayal at their wedding. How she'll be able to go on remains a mystery.
"I-I just can't believe he'd break my heart like this. I never thought I would end up being jilted at my own wedding," Trini sobbed softly.
Kim was mumbling obscenities to herself and vows to give Russell a piece of her mind before it's too late.
He owes Trini an honest explanation on why he broke her heart on what was supposed to be the happiest day of her life.

Scott Residence
Malibu, California
July 9th, 2002
Jason Lee Scott, the original red ranger and original leader of the power rangers, plopped his feet up on the coffee table and felt himself relax as he nursed a bottle of beer. Living in southern California proved to be a fresh change for him as he embarked on a new chapter in his life. Living on his own for the first time, having a great career as a real estate agent and enjoying the single life, he has no reason to complain.
However, there was one thing missing in his life: true love.
After his breakup with Emily, the girl who ended up working at the beach club, Jason spent much of his time figuring out what he wanted to do with his life. After his kidnapping incident and having to be turned evil for a moment, the former gold ranger decided to give real life a chance. He ended up going to UCLA in Los Angeles and majored in real estate and business management, while putting his dating life on the back burner. After completing his degree, he got a sweet job offer from a prominent real estate agency in Malibu; since he applied for and got his license six months after graduating from college. Jason immediately accepted the position and began his new life and his new career in Malibu.
Within his first year of working at Jones Realty, he sold his first home and got a huge commission as a result. That enabled him to buy his first home; a beautiful condo that overlooked the gorgeous Pacific coast. He even put together a last minute housewarming party; inviting his friends and some of his co-workers over to spend some time with him. There was even some very attractive single females trying to vie for his attention, but the baby faced former teenager politely turned them down.
His heart just wasn't in it.
Besides, there was one girl who has managed to get away from him. The one girl he had secretly loved ever since they were eight years old and his love for her grew as they became teenagers, became power rangers and became inseparable.
That one girl just happened to be Trini Kwan.
Jason mentally kicked himself for not telling her how he felt before, and felt even more guilty for keeping his feelings to himself after he learned she had relocated to the north east after her stint at the peace conference and had settled nicely in Boston, Mass.; not to mention Jason had learned from Kim that Trini was supposed to be getting married to a handsome and successful lawyer.
To make matters more complicated, he was invited to fly up to Boston to attend the wedding, but he didn't have the heart to go. He couldn't bear the thought of seeing his childhood best friend and longtime crush marry someone else, so he politely declined; with an excuse that he had a business trip to attend to.
So as he kicked back and nursed another bottle of beer, Jason realized that he was too late. He didn't tell Trini how he felt, they ended up going their separate ways and fell out of touch, she ended up in Boston while he ended up in Malibu.
Little did he know, she was heading back to California; heartbroken, jilted and anxious to start a new chapter in her life.
And little did either of them know, fate will unexpectedly bring them back to one another.
