A/N: Another Power Rangers/Suite Life X-over. This time, involving the Royal Rumble, and a surprise visit to California for the East Coast Eight, thanks in part to Winter Storm Juno.

A/N 2: Nothing is mine. Power Rangers belongs to Saba and Disney, all wrestlers and their names belong to WWE and the Pink BracketBuster universe belongs to psav2005.

Ch. 1: Travel Plans and The Royal Rumble

Saturday, January 24

The Scott Household

Reefside, CA

"I'll get it!" Hayley Scott grumbled as the phone rang for what seemed like the umpteenth time on this Saturday. At this point of the day, Hayley was just getting annoyed by the last couple of days in general; there had been four phone calls to the house that day alone, and some rambunctious lunatic kids had taken over the Cyberspace earlier that day and almost cost her a lot of money in property damage. In addition, Stanford had lost to Arizona Thursday night and the Sooners were losing to Baylor at that very moment.

She half expected another sales call when she went to pick up the phone, but when she saw who it was on her caller ID, her frown immediately turned upside down.

"Hello…oh hi, Wilfred! What can I do for you?" she said, referring to London Tipton of the East Coast Eight's extremely wealthy daddy. It was the same Wilfred Tipton who had engineered the East Coast Eight's trip to Boston for the 2012 Elite 8 and to New Orleans for the Final Four that same year, and who had chipped in a little bit of help for the Spring Break trip the previous year to California.

"Hi, Hayley," came the voice of Wilfred. "I'm calling you because I am concerned for the kids."

"Why, because of the snowstorm that's coming?" Hayley said. "I hear it's going to be pretty bad."

"Yeah, I'm in Boston and it's supposed to be pretty bad news," Tipton said. "The kids mostly have classes on Tuesday, Thursday and Friday and I'm just worried sick that something's going to happen. I can feel it in my bones."

"You think school's going to be closed early in the week, I can tell," Hayley said. "Where are they now?"

"I arranged for them to go to the Royal Rumble Sunday so I think they are still at their respective campuses now but they'll head to Philly tomorrow," Wilfred said. "If I book a flight from Philly to LAX Monday morning, would you guys be willing to take them in for a few days?"

"You know, things have kind of bogged down around this place and I think it would be really nice to have them here for a few days, yeah," Hayley said. "Besides, they deserve a reward for even deciding to go to that cesspool…even for a pay-per-view. Filthadelphia is an absolute dump."

"I hear you," Wilfred said. "OK, I'll book the flight and tell the kids. I just want them to be safe and to enjoy themselves…it is their senior year of college after all."

"That it is. Thanks for the call, Wilfred and I can't wait for Monday," Hayley said. "Be sure to tell the kids TO KEEP IT TO THEMSELVES. I want this to be a surprise because I know this brightened up my day."

Sunday, January 25

1 hour before The Royal Rumble

Wells Fargo Center

Philadelphia, PA

"Man, GREAT seats!" Bailey Pickett said. "The only thing I see wrong with these seats, is that we have to look at Michael Cole's dumbass."

The East Coast Eight had acquired very good seats for the pay-per-view thanks to Mr. Tipton; they had seats about 20 rows directly behind the announcers, facing the ring opposite the stage where they could see the participants come out.

"Yeah, but we at least get to look at JBL," Cody Martin said. "Wrestling…."

"GOD!" said the rest of the kids.

"Yep, best commentator going today," Addison Reynolds said. "It's too bad what King has become. He used to be so funny."

"Yeah, now all he does is kiss Cena's ass," Maya Bennett said. "John Cena's #1 fanboy is what he is now. Of course he squealed for the Rock too when even when Rock was a face."

"Predictions for the Rumble tonight, guys; let's start with the championship. Who wins?" Cody said. "I'm saying Seth Rollins (referring to the current Money in the Bank holder)."

"Cashes in or wins outright?" Bailey said.

"Cashes in after The Authority take out Lesnar following his win in the triple threat," Cody said.

"OK, as much as I hate it, I pick Cena," Bailey said. "Plus, I'm not picking anyone from Iowa."

At that, the rest of the East Coast Eight laughed; everyone knew that as an avid Jayhawk fan, Bailey didn't think much of the state of Iowa with Iowa State being a huge rival of KU's basketball program.

"Brrrrock Lesnar retains," Zack Martin said.

"As much as I hate it, Cena," Maya said.

"Rollins," Woody Fink said.

"Rollins," Addison said.

"Lesnar," Marcus Little said.

"Cena," London Tipton said.

"OK, now for the Rumble," Cody said. "I'm going with Hulk's pick, my man Daniel Bryan."

"Out there pick, Bray Wyatt," Bailey said.

"I'm going with Rusev," Zack Martin said, referring to the Russian who at that point was still undefeated in WWE. "And Lana gives a victory speech in the name of Russia and Putin afterwards."

"Wow, undefeated Rusev vs Lesnar is your pick. That would be…interesting," Cody said. "Maya?"

"Bray Wyatt," Maya said. "Wyatt deserves to be competing in a main event."

"Roman Reigns," Woody said. "I'm pulling for Bryan though…and Miz of course."

"l'm going a bit of a different route, I'm going with Phil Savitt's man Dean Ambrose," Addison said. "I'm pulling for Bryan too though."

"The Authority's enforcer, The Big Show," Marcus Little said.

"Daniel Bryan," London said, to which everyone laughed; she always picked the faces, no matter what. They then leaned in close to make sure no one would hear what they were saying.

"Man, I can't believe your daddy did it again, London," Bailey said (Wilfred had contacted the kids and told them of the impromptu plan he had concocted with Hayley). "I can't wait to get to California. He had our best interests at heart."

"Yeah, I am not looking forward to this snowstorm at all," London said. "I just know it's gonna be bad."

"Yeah, I'm looking forward to avoiding the snowstorm…and I'm looking forward to getting out of this Philadelphia hellhole, Rumble aside," Cody said in a very low voice. "I know that someday when I open my own restaurant this will not be the place to do it. Lawler once said…well, it's not appropriate language for the situation but he thinks this place sucks for lack of a better term. I believe that."

"Agree," Zack said in an equally low voice. "No wonder this city had the only NFL stadium with a jail underneath it. This place is a pit and the people here are just so rude."

"Guys, we're pushing our luck!" Bailey said, calming the kids down. "We get the point, the place is a pit, but be careful because they might throw stuff at us."

"As much as I hate it, she's right," Maya said. "Let's reserve the rest of our comments for later."

They were glad they stopped right there because as the building was filling up, a rather rude and obnoxious group of fans came in and sat right behind the East Coast Eight.

The East Coast Eight would have to deal with that for the rest of the pay-per-view.

Four hours later….

"Man, that ending sucked, Rock aside," Cody said as the East Coast Eight filed out of the Wells Fargo Center. "Woodchuck, good call, but I wish that hadn't happened."

"Yeah, I don't like Reigns, but I had the feeling they are pushing a Reigns/Rollins feud at some point. We've said it before but Vince is so senile and has no clue what he is doing these days," Woody said. "I thought Rollins would win the triple threat and cement that. Almost did."

"You were right, I should have listened. And yeah, we're going to see a Reigns/Rollins feud probably after WrestleMania when Rollins wins the title," Addison said. "Phil should appreciate me picking Ambrose though."

"Hell of a triple threat match though," Bailey said. "That almost made up for the crappy Rumble match itself. Almost. I don't care for Rollins as I've said but dude is a star in the making."

"Yep, the future champion no doubt. Addison is right, there is no way Brock is walking out of Mania champ, everyone knows he's gone back to the UFC. That is where Rollins should cash in," Cody said. "That jump which took out Brock was outstanding."

"That Triple H/Rock staredown though," Maya said. "That was a flashback."

"Yeah, what a rivalry. The West Coast group probably remembers all those matches," Zack Martin said as the group neared its hotel.

"Remember to get a good sleep, guys, we have a 10:30 a.m. flight tomorrow so we have to be ready to go early," Cody said.

Monday, January 26

12:30 p.m. PST

Los Angeles International Airport

Los Angeles

As the United Airlines plane came to its final stop at LAX, the East Coast Eight prepared for what was to come. 48 hours ago, an impromptu trip to California was the last thing on their minds. However, with none of them having to be back on the East Coast till Thursday night (those who had classes Thursday had managed to get friends to help fill them in on notes), they were ready for some sun for a few days.

They were ready for anything.

As the East Coast Eight filed out of the plane, Cody turned to the rest of the group and said, "I don't need to tell you guys this, but remember, until we pull up at Dr. and Mrs. Oliver's for dinner tonight, lips stay shut."

"Yes, Cody, we know," Maya grumbled irritably.

"Well, I'm washing myself of any wrongdoing if one of you guys somehow blows it," Cody said as the group walked into the terminal. Not 30 seconds after they walked into the terminal, a crimson and cream blur came rushing at them, enveloping each one of them in bear hugs.

"Oh, I'm so glad you guys are away from that impending mess," Hayley Scott said. "I just know it's gonna be bad."

"Yeah, London's daddy was smart to get us out of there. I hate to miss a class, but if it means a few days in the sun just to stay out of that mess as long as we can, so be it," Maya said.

"Don't feel bad, your work ethic is still strong. I'm sure the people you guys got to get notes for you are trustworthy. When I celebrated my 21st birthday my senior year at Stanford, I asked someone to take notes for me so my friends and I could go out to celebrate," Hayley said as the group headed for baggage claim. "What did you guys think of the pay-per-view?"

"Triple threat match…awesome," Zack Martin said.

"The Rumble…sucked," Cody said.

"Philly…you were 100 percent correct. Hellhole to the max," Bailey said. "We'll have to fly back in to get our cars, but after that if I ever step foot in that city again it will be too soon."

"Ha, I knew I was right about Philly. Worst fans in…oh, try the entire universe," Hayley said. "Try going to a Cowboys/Eagles game there. Yikes, those people are nasty."

"Yeah, my Jayhawk peeps aren't perfect, but I can be satisfied that we aren't anything like Mizzou fans…or Philly fans for that matter," Bailey said as she saw Cody go get his bags. "Both groups are foul mouthed and obnoxious. Did Kim ever make it to Allen Fieldhouse for the KU/Florida game?"

"Yes, and she loved it. You'll have to ask about that tonight," Hayley said. "As a warning, you guys are going to meet another member of the spandex family tonight. I'll tell you now, she's got a temper and she isn't easily impressed, so be ready. There is another secret there that I'm asking you to keep."

"Is she a full-fledged member of our group?" Cody said.

"No, not yet, although she could be in the future if Arizona wins a championship. She's wanted to be a part of our group for a while but her business is very busy and dealing with patients takes a lot of time out of her day. She's stated she'll leave her business if Arizona wins a title someday, to be with us," Hayley said as Maya and Bailey went to get their bags. "Tonight at dinner you'll meet Jen Scotts, Time Force Pink. Probably the second greatest Pink after Kimberly. She's also Wes's ex-girlfriend because she's from the year 3000 and helped the Time Force Rangers defeat their baddie. She and Wes grew close in that time."

"Then why did she come back in time? And when did she come back?" Zack Martin said.

"To my knowledge, she came back in our year 2006 because there was just nothing there for her in 3006, and she wanted another chance with Wes some day," Hayley said. "She went to Arizona like Wes did but graduated in 2010, years after Wes did and then Eric's wife Taylor, the Yellow Wild Force Ranger, helped get her a psychology job here in Los Angeles."

"The only reason she's coming over tonight is we're deliberately playing keep-away between her and Wes until Arizona wins the championship in basketball, whenever that is," Hayley finished.

"And I guess Wes and Eric won't be there?" Woody said, eyebrow raised as he came over with his bags, having overheard the conversation.

"Nope, they'll be on Time Force business," Hayley said. "We met Jen last summer while Wes was in San Diego on Guardians business and she never forgot about him. Ideally since OU or Stanford won't win, Arizona would beat Kentucky for the title. Even though I don't like any Pac-12 school but Stanford, I would root for that scenario."

"Since Arizona was at the Pond last year, weren't they both at both of those games?" Addison said as they headed for Hayley's car.

"That is a good point, but we were fortunate Jen was up in the nosebleeds and couldn't see the gang. She had really bad seats for those games; she even admitted that to us," Hayley said.

7:30 Pacific Standard Time

1492 Valencia Drive

Reefside, CA

As Kim finished setting the table up for dinner (fried filets of cod were on the menu tonight, with potatoes, green beans and some nice rice), she and Tommy both were getting concerned. Everyone was here, except for Eric and Wes who were on Guardians business. Thus, Jen was in the building.

Except for two people, who were normally on time.

Tommy looked at Kim, who nodded her head. Something smelt funny to them both…it wasn't like Jason and Hayley to be late.

Just then, the doorbell rang.

"That's got to be them," Kim said. "I'll go get it."

As Kim opened the door and greeted Hayley and Jason, she said, "You guys better have a good explanation for almost being late. That's not like you guys."

"We do," Jason said. "Let's not spoil the suspense, your surprise is about to be unveiled. Come on, guys."

When Kim saw the eight individuals who stepped into view, her eyes grew as big as saucers and her mouth flew open with shock.

"OHMYGOD!" she uttered. "Guys, come look who's paying us a visit!"
