Another day in nature, David thought as he breathed in the fresh air. Once again, on another one of his hiking trips, and in his usual attire. While this has become his routine, he hikes on this trail regularly. Every time, it still gives him the same sense of peace and security. Something he needed after what happened at the end of the Power Rangers. 

For at times he does think about the old days of being a ranger. The rush, the fighting, the action, and the bond they had. Which gives way to the bad memories like the deaths of his friends. Eduardo, Andre, Parker, and Silas. Even though it was ten years ago, the pain feels the same, and with the constant reminder of it being on his chest. It is hard to forget, and even his chest scar hurts sometimes. Like it is reminding him of what he has been through, but still. He tries not to dwell on it and move on with his life. It was ten years ago, and he has not seen a former member of his team since. Yet it lingers in his mind.  

So back to enjoying the outdoors and continuing with his hike. He thought as he walked along the trail. Life has been good to him since the end of the Power Rangers. He graduated from college and is working his way to his dream job. Things could not be better, though he feels like something is missing, he just does not know what. It bugs him, and he cannot for the life of him figure out what. So David tries not to think about it until he finds a breakthrough or finds out what is missing from his life.

Going on these hikes tends to remove these thoughts from his mind, and he can just relax. But sometimes they pop up like an unwanted ad, and David just drowns them out with positive thoughts. He is not a pessimist, the opposite, in fact, and now is not the time to think about the past or bad thoughts. Now is the time for peace and relaxation. David thought stubbornly and focused back to good vibes. 

As he was doing this and took a moment to stop and rest. David spotted two people and heard them talking. Which normally, he would just mind his business and carry on with his hike. But while the one has a camera and was probably taking some pictures, which at this part of the trail was guaranteed to get some good shots. But the other person seemed familiar to him, and when he heard her voice. Gears started to turn in his head. He was trying to remember if he knew this person since she sounded oddly familiar.

In order to find out for sure, David approached the two. [color=3CB371]"Hello there, and I hope I am not interrupting but..."[/color] That was when David saw her face and knew who she was. Someone that he did not expect to see again. [color=3CB371]"Jade?"[/color] David's words reeked of surprised wonder, and his face showed it.[color=3CB371]"Is that you? I thought you left town and..."[/color] David tried using the right words for this revelation. [color=3CB371]"I did not expect to see you again."[/color]
