Ah, the weekend. The time when kids get to sleep in and not worry about a thing. After he and the rangers had won their battles, Burst was getting a much needed sleep. He was still off in dreamland until he felt something caress his cheek. Burst slowly opened his eyes, and saw Nightmare with one of her arms wrapped around him.
"Good morning Burst.", she said with a smile as she kissed him. "So did you enjoy your wake-up call?" Burst smiled.
"It was more pleasant than waking up to a blaring alarm clock." Burst got out of bed and gathered together his outfit for the day. "Of course, it also kind of helps that its one of my girlfriends waking me up." Burst changed in the bathroom and came out soon after. "Now to start my weekend morning." Burst made his way downstairs and turned on the TV after he got his breakfast. "Sweet! Just in time for Transformers!" Moon joined him as Burst hummed the theme song as he watched.
"Huh. No wonder you had such a huge Transformers collection. This show rocks!", Moon said as she ate.
"Yeah. Just wait until you see the Dinobots!" Burst then got a text from Celestia. "Huh. Wonder what she wants?" Burst read the text. "Well this'll be a first."
"What is it?"
"She wants the three of us to go on a date. I'm open for it. What about you Moon?" Nightmare smiled.
"Sounds like fun. Maybe we'll even get in our first make-out session.", Moon said in a flirty tone.
"We'll just have to see where it goes. We'll be meeting up with her at noon. In the meantime, lets enjoy our morning together." Nightmare smiled as she got closer to Burst. Soon enough, the time came for them to meet up with Celestia. On their way, Moon noticed something that caught her interest.
"No way...Burst!"
"Yeah?"
"You're not gonna believe this. Look!" Burst went to see what she was going on about, and nearly froze. Moon was pointing to t-shirts that had him and the others in ranger form. "Looks like certain people are getting popular."
"Huh. I wouldn't have guessed. I knew people were thankful that me and the others saved the world, but I didn't expect to ever get popular for it. Even if I'm not showing my face." Nightmare smiled.
"At least you're not letting it get to your head. If Celestia's nephew back in Equestria was in your position he'd be expecting everyone to kiss his hooves. Speaking of you being a ranger, why do you still have your morpher? Haven't things died-down now?"
"Moon, from what you told me Equestria faces a major threat almost every other month. And considering I've watched a lifetime of cartoons and anime, and read lots of manga, there's ALWAYS some stronger badguy lurking around the corner. It's just a question of when they'll pop up."
"Wow. That's pretty solid logic. No wonder you're the leader.", Nightmare said with a smile. "Oh. Looks like Celestia's waiting for us." Burst and Nightmare walked up to Celestia. "Hi Celly! So what's the flick we're going to see?"
"Well...Burst might kind of be tired of this sort of thing. It's a kaiju movie based on the kaiju archetype Industrial Illusions released. And I'm pretty sure he's tired of seeing monsters that tower over buildings."
"You kidding? That was one of the best parts of being a ranger! Summoning a gigantic robot and fighting monsters until they explode with one final strike!" Celestia and Nightmare giggled.
"You really haven't grown up since my second visit to your dreams.", Nightmare said sweetly. "Now let's see how many buildings get trashed!" The three went in, ordered their snacks, and got ready to view the clash of giants on the movie screen. Meanwhile, the other rangers were hanging out with their own girlfriends. The exception being Shadow and Ice.
"It's nice to have things be calm for once.", Ice said with a satisfied sigh. "Still. I am gonna miss calling out our zords."
"Well if youtwo ever get a girl, maybe the two of you could take your zords out for a spin if they find out your secret.", Ace said with a smile. "Besides. If we apply anime logic like Burst does, you can bet we'll be facing another major villain soon."
"What makes you say that bro?", Shadow asked.
"Think about it. Each time a new threat showed up, we all got a power-up. We're basically a shonen anime made real. Heck, all we're missing is our girlfriends undergoing a magic-girl transformation to fight monsters too."
"Hmmm. Nightmare Moon. Sombra. Chrysalis.", Sunset listed.
"Something up Sunset?", Gold asked. "You look troubled."
"Gold we've faced some of the worst villains in Equestria. It's just got me wondering...who's next?"
"Well whoever it is, you can bet they won't be able to take us down!"
