Chapter 1

In? Or Out?

Disclaimer: Its time to party it up in the 'A Mother's Caring Hart' 'Verse! As always, I own nothing but what you see here! Takes place a weekend after the events of 'Scott Men Showdown!' and will introduce my version of Tommy. Now, let's roll on!

1:15 PM At The Ship

"Hey guys!" Greeted Jason enthusiastically once he was inside the ship wet free courtesy of the teleportation system that had been put in place recently.

Which was a little unusual cause a lot of the time he was there before any of the others were. "Fearless leader finally grants us with his presence!" Called out Zack jokingly and getting a few chuckles from the girls for it.

Jason gave him a mock glare in return. "Decided to risk sleeping in today, Rex?" Kimberly asked curiously.

Knowing that things between Jason and his dad weren't the greatest at the moment after his surprising revelation a week ago. "Heh, yeah. Ended up in a 5 hour conversation with my cousin last night after I got things set up with him about our night at his club for tonight."

Said conversation being about Mimes and if whether or not they were agents of evil of all things. "Wait, you were serious about that?" Trini asked in surprise.

"Of course! Why wouldn't I have been?"

"Other then the fact you've been a real narrow straight edge kinda guy since we met? No reason." Supplied Zack with a shrug and getting a nod of agreement from Trini.

"The fact you didn't make that sound more insulting says something about you, Zack." Kim told him teasingly and getting an eyeroll in return while chuckles were heard from Trini.

Who would ask a rather important question. "But what about Billy? You know how he is about touch."

"Got that covered, my cousin's gonna let him hang out in the VIP area since it'll be less crowded. Which means we've got access to that if we want to use it."

Zack chuckled with a shake of the head. "Man, you really are the man with a plan."

"Who's got a plan?" Came the curious voice of Billy as he made his entrance with a welder's helmet on his head and various pieces of protective gear on other areas of him with a blowtorch in one of his hands.

Trini and Kim smiled at him. Each having a fairly good idea he'd just been knee deep in some project somewhere on the ship he decided to help Alpha with. "Jason, Billy. He's got everything figured out for that whole let's go clubbing idea of his." Supplied Kim helpfully.

Her words made the Blue Ranger look towards a grinning Jason. "Oh, you were serious about all that?"

"Have I seriously given the impression I'm some kind of straight edge guy now to actually get asked that!?"

"YES!" Came the replied chorus of the other four and making him rather surprised in the process.

He then shook his head, deciding to worry about that later. "Anyways! All for or not? And Billy? I got you access to the VIP room by the way so you won't have to be around so many people." Added the Red Ranger enticingly.

"In that case? Why not. At any rate, my mom will be happy to know I'll be attempting to socialize more."

"I'm in." Decided Kim with a grin. As this promised to be fun!

Especially since she had something in her closet she was pretty damned sure would catch Jason's attention and hopefully get him to finally make a damn move already. As there was only so many hints she could drop as it is before giving him up as a lost cause! "Hmm… This would definitely not be classed as normal in my mom's view so count me in."

"So long as I know someone's keepin' watch on my mom, I'm down."

"Hey, you know my parents love having her around so I'm sure they wouldn't mind having her over while we're in LA." Offered Kim to her friend.

Knowing it would help set his mind at ease a little more. "Get the okay and I'll talk to my mom."

"You got it."

Jason smacked his hands together and rubbed them against one another happily. "Alright guys, let's get this show on the road! I'll talk to Zordon so he knows what's up."

Granted, the guy probably would have an issue with their plans but as far as the Red Ranger was concerned, they deserved this night. "Uhh, since I've never done anything like this before, I have no idea what to wear." Admitted Billy with a nervousness about him and a frown on his face.

"I gotcha covered buddy. I gotcha covered."
