"Students, we have a special guest today," Ms. Appleby stated. "This is firefighter Newman. He's going to talk to us about the upcoming Fire Safety Week." Aisha and Kimberly turned to each other.
"He is so cute," Aisha whispered.
"I know, right?" Kimberly agreed. Billy and Jason looked at other and rolled their eyes.
"Geez. What is it with girls and older guys?" Jason wondered.
"I've got no clue," Billy admitted.
"Thank you, Ms. Appleby," firefighter Newman said. "The best way to fight fires is to prevent them from happening. This week you'll learn some helpful ways to keep your homes and your surroundings safe from fire. As you'll see, most fire prevention is just common sense."
"Firefighter Newman is going to select the Fire Safety Captain from Angel Grove High School based on the essays you've written."
"Well, I was very impressed with all of your essays, but one of them was outstanding." Bulk and Skull stood up.
"Say no more," Bulk stated. "As Fire Safety Captain, I think it's best if we all took the rest of the week off from school and think about what fire really means to us," he continued in a mock serious voice. Billy, Jason, Aisha, and Kimberly laughed.
"Sit down, you two," Jason said.
"Quiet, dweeb," Bulk barked. "Now, as I was saying---"
"Bulk, Skull. Sit down," Ms. Appleby interjected angrily. The two did so and Aisha looked at them.
"I thought it was a good idea," she whispered. Bulk gave her a half smile.
"Please continue, Richard."
"The student I've selected is Aisha Campbell." The class clapped.
"Outstanding. That's quite an honor," Billy told her.
"Way to go. That's awesome," Jason added, clapping her on the shoulder.
"Wow! I am so excited!" Aisha said. I can't believe I was chosen out of everybody, she thought to herself. Bulk stared at her. She's really into this stuff. I guess I'll have to prove that I know about it, he determined.
"That is so great," Kimberly commented. They laughed. On the moon, Zedd frowned thoughtfully, though you couldn't tell from looking at his visor.
"So, the Power Rangers are interested in fire safety. I've just become interested in fire myself. I'm going to make Angel Grove the hottest spot on Earth," Zedd declared.
"I've noticed that the Purple Ranger takes her responsibilities seriously. And seeing as how she's new to the team, it should be easy to use a type of fire monster to lure her away from the other Rangers," Goldar stated.
"That's not a bad idea, Goldar. I'm impressed," Zedd commented. Goldar let out a soft growl but said nothing. Zedd was starting to get on his nerves. Why didn't I remain loyal to Rita like Scorpina did? I could've easily helped her throw him out, he thought to himself. He forced himself to pay attention as Zedd continued. "And if the Rangers don't surrender, I'll bring Angel Grove to its knees!"
