wow... this was... it was so... it was...

TOTALLY WICKED!

seriously though, amazing job. loved the whole thing! ^_^

was poking around the site when i stumbled across this fic and i must say that it was flat out awesome. The Kira/Conner pairing was totally cool, and the part where Conner offered to hook Zeltrax up with Elsa was great. I don't suppose that there is a sequal floating around out there somewhere because with the way this one ended it basically screamed sequal

this is an interesting story kept me going all the way through but whats up with the ending you planinng on a sequal or something

poor trent :(

wow. awesome.

Wow! Awesome AU! LOVED it! Such a cool spin! Great job!

Awesome! Please make a sequel! Please! :)

i cant believe someone that isnt writting for the show wrote this.great job!

I loved this story! The ending was good and realistic, and a little evil. Conner/Kira was perfect. Definitely one of hte best Dino Thunder fics out there... I'm sad to see it's over but look forward to more from you.

You know I'd willingly poke, provoke, inspire, and not kill you any time. Thank you for the lovely dedication because no story has ever made me feel like crying, raging, laughing, and smiling with every single sentence. This is truly the finest fic I've ever read.

The whispers started around them. Were Conner and Kira together? Everyone had thought it was strange that they were friends, but when the truth came out that they were Power Rangers together, the weird alliance sort of made sense. Now that the Rangers had disbanded, they had no obligations to hang out anymore, right? He was way too good for her, right? So why was he holding her hand?

Ooh, if that doesn't capture the essence of high school, the idea of Conner and Kira, and their roles in high school, I don't know what would. M, so good.

He smiled at her gently, and she felt some of her tangled insides unravel. Conner would never change, that much was evident in his careless grin and warm brown eyes.

Lovely and perfect.

"We never really got to have a first date, you know?"

"Oh, you mean being trapped in an island fortress by a demonic man-lizard doesn't count?"

"Clearly, you have a low ceiling on romance. This works to my advantage," he retorted.

*giggles with delight* And before Kira can totally kill the mood, here comes my darling Ethan to crow about his newfound popularity. Aw, and he's giving the first interview to Cassidy and Devin. Rock on. Yay for their exchange about egos (how much do I even love the idea of Ethan giving Conner a run for his money in the ego department) and yay for Ethan's tribute to Dr. O.

Calrissian? I

"Dude, you are so the man of the hour."

"When am I not?"

I love Eric/Conner. Whee! I adore Ethan asking if Trent got dropped on his head. Stupid Trent.

Ooh, I like the explanation for what happened to the Gems and that powers. It makes sense particularly in the context of just how much power they had to donate and what happened with Triassic. And Hayley's right, the power isn't necessary with everyone dead or hospitalized.

Aw, my poor Ethan with his clutching of the Gem. *sniffle* I'm so glad Conner still thinks of Trent like his enemy. Stupid Trent.

Hmm, that was an intriguing way to go with Trent. I'm glad Tommy and Hayley are making the effort to comfort him. How is that you can make me pity Trent even a little bit?

"It was over. It was finally, finally over."

I feel so empty right now. Even funny images of Conner's body parts flopping around in the wind as he DDRs isn't helping any.

MTriassic. *thinks about it for a few minutes*

"All of you..?" Conner said, frowning, his eyes landing on Trent. Trent grunted and looked away. Conner glanced questioningly at Ethan, who nodded. "Hey man," Conner said quietly, looking to the White Ranger, "thanks." Sincerity was just as apparent in his voice as confusion, and Kira hugged him again. This time, Conner had the presence of mind to hug her back, however briefly. He tried to search her face for answers, but she wouldn't meet his gaze.

Conner is just too good and noble for his own good. Yay for Affectionate!Kira! Dude, Con, it totally would have been Trent if it wasn't Kira. I love Ethan's reaction to Kira's departure and Conner's utter cluelessness. Aw, poor Conner, always so eager to make things right. I adore him for immediately wanting to follow her. Go Ethan go! *cheers favorite Blue Ranger*

"Conner, wait," she said, and he felt her hand clamping around his wrist. He stopped, turning to look at her. "I love you," she whispered, and she actually had tears in her eyes, Kira Ford crying over him. Conner didn't know which stunned him more, the tears or her admission. "I'm sorry," she said, "I didn't realize it before now, and you probably think I'm insane, but..."

Conner kissed her. It was the only thing that made sense at the moment. She didn't protest, rather, she kissed him back quite eagerly, both of them obviously thankful that they were alive, that the other was alive, that they'd somehow made it out of this whole crazy thing.

Awesome and fitting and glorious. Climaxes are spectacular and I love when you flex your ability to write beautiful denouements.

And because I love humor: Over boxers, which he discovered were not the ones he'd been wearing when this whole debacle had started, his mom must have brought him a new pair from home, thank God. and
Conner winced, knowing that his picture was going to be plastered all over the paper by tomorrow morning, and it would be a photo of him in a paper dress. Fantastic. Another one of those days.

Although the "Another one of those days" just takes me back to the first part of his day with the towel and stuff. M. Such a great way to tie it back to the title.

Oh, there are no words for the way this chapter is. It's all there, everything I love about this story, the humor, the sweetness, the friendship, the love, the Trio.

Tommy is so awesome: "You know why we have to keep our identities secret. It's safer that way, for everybody. But the importance of keeping a secret is relative, and this is one of those rare situations where it's all right to break the rules. It's for a greater good."

Good, I'm glad Kira can't quite forget the way Trent acted or what he's done to all of them.

The medical diagnosis stuff is perfect particularly Dr. O's "Something went wonky" and Ethan's crack. Could I love this team's dynamic in your hands anymore? The answer is obviously yes, but still, it's so fabulous. Yes! Glowing gems rock! Handholding is like the best thing ever.

Die, Trent, die! My rage is building yet strangely alleviated by this passage:
"Screw off," he said. "If Conner dies, I win."

"If Conner dies, you die," she said sharply. "Because if anything happens to him, so help me, I will come after you and you will wish he had left you to die on the island. Do you hear me?"

"I could take you," he said, sizing her up without emotion. And Kira was well aware that he'd almost killed her an several occasions. But she didn't care about that now.

"Ever hear the phrase, 'hell hath no fury like a woman scorned'? Well, hell hath no fury like my desire to kick your **, should anything happen to him. Get back in there," she said, biting off the end of each word. "You will help. You have no choice."

Aw, I love Ethan's silent apology to Hayley. Ooh, and you did go with the whole Trent just wants to prove who's the better man. I love that. *giggles* Poor Dr. O. His experience is both a good thing and a bad thing.

Ethan's attempt to be authoritative really doesn't work well when he's been seen, too. *giggles* "Some black dude!" God, I love the Ethan/Kira friendship so very much. At least she got some good news with the whole Dr. O thing. And this is classic:
"But he was faking it so we would release him. Then he tried to attack Hayley. So I shot him."

"You shot him?"

"You revealed your secret identity!" he countered, his voice rising with anxiety.

I both love and hate the conflictedness behind Trent saving a piece of the rock. But there is no hate in my feelings for Ethan. I

I'm normally not someone to clamor for a sequel -- I know how annoying it can be for an author -- but I think that, in this case, I must join the chorus. ;) This was absolutely stupendous, and there is NO way you can leave the bunch of us with that last scene, and NOT do something with it. (You must be planning something. *prays that you're planning something*)

I will admit that I'm not normally a Conner/Kira fan, but you made me believe it. You made me believe your Trent. You made me believe everything. It was like watching the show -- only better.
