"Aw, man. I don't believe this," Tommy sighed. How come we didn't see this? he wondered.

"We were all so focused on getting Rocky back to normal that it didn't even occur to us that Alpha's retrieval of the antidote was too easy or that another of us had been infected," Billy said. I regret that I failed to anticipate such a turn of events, he thought to himself.

"Guys, be careful around Kim! She's been turned into a vampire!" Jason said into his communicator. Oh, man. I should've realized that it wasn't going to be that easy, he berated himself. He was the leader. He was supposed to think of these things. Okay, granted, he was grounded from those responsibilities right now, but he still should've thought of it.

"Billy, we gotta get her back," Tommy stated. I'll never forgive myself if something happens to her, he thought.

"Don't worry, Tommy. We will," Billy assured. In the youth center, Justin, Hilary, Chris, Tina, Zane, Curtis, Angela, Richie, and Bulk, and Skull stared at each other worriedly.

"Kim's been turned into a monster?" Skull asked. Oh, man. How are we going to rescue her? he wondered. Just then, the girl in question came into the youth center. However, her features had returned to normal. She grinned as she smelled the blood pumping in the veins of the other people.

"Hey, Richie. Could I get a Strawberry Smoothie?" Kimberly queried, settling herself at the counter and leaning in close. He smells good. If I turn him, he'll turn Trini, and then we can turn the others and Empress Rita and Lord Zedd will be pleased, she thought to herself.

"Uh…sure," Richie answered. I think I better-he cut his thought off as he backed away from her, nearly tripping over his feet.

"You okay?" Ernie asked, steadying him. What's going on here? Why is he so afraid of Kim? he wondered.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine, Ernie. Kim wants a Strawberry Smoothie," Richie stammered.

"No problem," Ernie stated. He stared at the boy in concern. "Are you sure you're okay?"

"Yeah. I-I'm fine." He went to the back and started making the drink. However, his hands were shaking so bad that it took him a while to get it done. When he finally got the drink prepared, he brought it over. Kimberly looked at him in concern.

"Are you okay, Curtis?" she queried.

"Yeah, I'm fine," he answered.

"Just fine?" she asked, leaning in close. "I bet I could make you feel a lot better than 'fine'," she continued. He stammered as she started caressing his chest. Remember, she's not herself. She doesn't know what she's doing, he silently reminded.

"Richie! We'd like to order!" Curtis shouted.

"Be right there," Richie called in relief. "I'll talk to later," he told her. He then hurried to the others. "Thank you," he told him.

"No problem," Curtis replied. Richie took their orders and then went to the back. After he got done with the orders, he took them to his friends. On the moon, Rita cackled. Things were going so well. So much better than she had even anticipated.

"Yes! Our plan is working wonderfully! The Pink Ranger is a vampire and she'll soon turn the other Rangers!"

"And then imagine it, My Sweet: our own army of Rangers ready and willing to do our bidding!" The two monarchs laughed.
