Serena couldn't believe the crazy Nighlok that came out during the summer. First the love inducing Nighlok, and now this? As she and the other Samurai hurried to the center of the city, where a new Nighlok was causing trouble, she noticed the city was full of children.

There were children, babies even, in suits, with briefcases, pushing strollers, carrying purses, and sitting in the drivers' seats of cars.

"Serena, Mia!" Jayden cried out, "Get the kids to safety."

"Bad parenting 101," Mike muttered as he looked around, "Who lets a kid drive a car?"

Serena and Mia looked to each other and then they split up from the group. Unfortunately, even with kids behind the wheel the cars wouldn't stop. They were going to have to find a way to get the cars to slow gently to a stop, and then get the kids out of the cars and somewhere safe.

Mia seemed to know what to do right away. With one symbol, the cars were all lifted into the air. The wheels could spin all they wanted, but the cars were now stopped. Serena followed Mia's lead, lifting herself up to open the driver's side of the first car. She grabbed the little boy and lowered him to the ground and then pulled the keys out of the ignition, stopping the car. She did this for all the cars in the on the street and hoped it was enough to keep as many people as safe as possible.

After the last car had been turned off and the last child had been rescued, Serena carried an armful of children back over to Mia, who had collected about a dozen herself. Mia's symbol power wore off and the cars all crashed to the ground. She double over, resting her hands on her knees, exhausted from using so much power.

"Know a good babysitter?" Serena asked her as one boy tapped on the side of her helmet and asked if she could feel it. Serena had to resist the urge to knock him senseless.

"If everyone in town is a baby…"

"This Nighlok couldn't have gotten everyone," Serena shook her head and then saw a couple of cop cars coming down the street. She set the kids in her arms down on the ground and pointed to the shining lights.

"Look, a cool police car! Go annoy the policeman!"

The kids, fascinated by the police car rushed off to get a closer look. Mia and Serena took this as their chance to run and join the others in the fight against the Nighlok. Whether the Rangers needed their help or not it was best to show up. But when they turned the corner, the Nighlok raced past them. Judging by his dry, peeling skin, he seemed to be drying up and was trying his best to get away. Before the girls could do anything, he disappeared into a gap.

"Looks like even the Nighlok are learning to fear us," Serena chuckled and nudged Mia gently. The pink Ranger didn't laugh. She didn't even turn to Serena. She was too busy staring at the scene.

"Where are the others?"

Serena looked and shrugged her shoulders. Then she felt someone tugging on her skirt. She looked down and saw a little boy who was wearing the exact same clothes Kevin had been wearing under his Ranger suit.

"I don't remember hearing about a white Ranger."

Mia knelt down and looked the little boy in the eyes. He seemed to be about six years old, if she guess right, and he looked a lot like a younger version of her fiancé. In fact, he looked exactly like her fiancé from the pictures she had seen of him as a kid.

"Kevin?"

The little boy nodded his head and bowed.

Mia rose to her feet and looked to Serena, "Yep, definitely Kevin."

"So those kids over there must be the others… MIKE! No, that's sharp!" Serena cried and rushed over to the little boy in green, who found his Spin Sword and was now trying to show off to young Jayden and Antonio. Serena reached him just in time and ripped the sword from his hands right before he could slice Antonio's head off. "What the hell do you think you're doing?"

"Relax, lady," Mike tried to take the Spin Sword back, but Serena held it up high, far out of his reach, "Hey! Give it back! I'm a Samurai in-training! I know what I'm doing."

"I'm a Samurai in-training too," little Antonio grinned happily and he picked up his barracuda blade, "Watch! Jayden's teaching me to be a Samurai!"

"No, no, no!" Serena took Antonio's blade, and then picked up Jayden's Spin Sword before he got any ideas. She looked at the three young boys, "New rules. If it's sharp, none of you touch."

"A white Ranger?" little Jayden looked up at Serena curiously, "I don't remember a white Ranger?"

"I'm new, okay," Serena grumbled. Jayden just looked around and then sighed.

"Serena, we really need to get home," Mia said, walking with Kevin by her side. "If the cops come and see us taking kids away…"

"Yeah, that might look suspicious," Serena nodded and gestured for the boys to follow the pink Ranger, while she looked around, just to make sure she hadn't forgotten anything. She counted the kids' heads as they walked with Mia and then her eyes widened, "SHIT!"

"Uh-oh!" all four boys turned around and pointed at her accusingly, "You said a bad word!"

"Samurai never say bad words," Kevin crossed his arms over his chest and shook his head, "I don't know who you are, but if you're going to be a Samurai, you need to act like one."

Serena rushed over to the boys and knelt down in front of Kevin, "How old are you?"

"Six. How old are you?"

"A lot older," Serena gave him a pat on the head and looked to Mia, "If Kevin's six then Emily's…"

"Wena! Candy!" two year old Emily cried out as she crawled out from under a bench and held out a piece of previously chewed gum in her hands. Because it was a bright colour, like most of the candy her parents and Serena fed her, she assumed it was good to eat. She was too young to understand that it was dirty, and hadn't grown up in the city so she didn't understand that people were… well pigs.

"Emily, put that down!" Serena shouted and stomped over to her little sister. Emily hadn't been a troublesome child, but she had always needed someone keeping an eye on her. Her years of being accident prone started the minute she learned how to crawl. If this Nighlok's spell was going to last, Serena knew she was in for a hard time.

And then she thought about what the boys could have possibly been like as children. A shiver travelled down her spine. She picked up her little sister, ripped the gum from her hand and carried her back to Mia and the boys.

"Now we can go home."

-Samurai-

Storm had no idea what she was in for.

Like usual, there had been a loud alarm, followed by everyone leaving the house in a hurry except for the oldest human. The house was empty for a while and then a bunch of children came back.

Children who were excited to see that their new home had a dog.

As she ran away from Mike and Antonio especially, Ji watched and shook his head. This was going to be chaos. Anytime a Nighlok used a spell on even just one of the Rangers it was chaos. Now, five out of seven of his Samurai were children, all between the ages of two and six.

While Mike and Antonio raced after the dog, Jayden and Kevin sat on their stools. Despite their young age, they were already acting like grown up. Jayden seemed to understand that right now wasn't a time to play and he was doing his best to sit still and listen, and Kevin was even trying to join into the adult conversation.

Emily had fallen asleep on the way home and was napping in Serena's arms, giving Serena, Mia, and Ji a little peace for now.

Ji sighed as he looked around the house, "In this state, I'm afraid it would be too dangerous to send the Rangers into battle, should the Nighlok come back."

"Wait, that was an option?" Serena looked to Ji in shock and then she pointed to her sister, "Emily's two! She can barely hold her teddy bear in her arms without tripping over it when she walks! She can't hold a sword and fight a Nighlok."

"We're not old enough to be Samurai," Kevin shook his head. "My dad says that even if the Nighlok come back, I'm not going to fight them until I'm sixteen."

"So it's just us, then?" Mia sighed and turned to Serena. "You know, the irony of this happening only days after I learn I'm not pregnant is not lost on me."

Suddenly there was a crash from the other room and Storm ran into the common room and ducked under the table. Serena, Ji, and Mia exchanged looks before getting up to see what had happened. They turned the corner and saw Mike and Antonio standing over a broken bonsai. The tree had been pulled from the dirt, the stones were scattered on the floor, as well as the dirt, and the pot that held the bonsai had smashed.

Both boys saw the older Samurai and pointed to the other, "He did it!"

"Antonio!" Jayden had followed and looked to his best friend. He then looked up at Ji, "Sorry. I told him not to play with the trees."

"Mike did it!" Antonio insisted and threw his hands up in the air, "I didn't touch it! Pinky promise!"

"Dude…" Mike muttered and then caught the looks he was receiving from the others. Then he shook his head, "Nahuh, I didn't do it!"

"You so did!" Kevin had come along as well to see what had happened and pointed an accusing finger at Mike, "You did! You did!"

"No I didn't!" Mike cried and stomped his foot, "Stop it! I didn't do it!"

Mia knelt down so she was at eye level with Mike, "If you didn't do it, then tell me what happened."

"I didn't do it!" Mike shouted again, shoved Mia and then stormed off into Mia and Kevin's bedroom, where he slammed the door and then locked it. As Mia picked herself up, Serena went to the door and tried to open it. Ji started picking up the broken pieces of his bonsai, muttering about how that was the fifty third to break since he took the Samurai into his home.

When Serena found the door was locked, she knocked loudly, "Michael, open this door right now or I will…"

"Wena! Wet!" Emily ran from the common room, her hand stuffed down her pants and she looked like she was crying. Then she tripped over her own legs and smashed into the floor. Serena held her head in her hands, completely stressed out and Mia went to pick Emily up. As she held Emily on her hip to inspect her head, she felt something wet press against her side. She sighed loudly and turned to Serena.

"Let me guess. Wet means she peed herself."

"I forgot, she needs diapers when she sleeps," Serena took the crying Emily from Mia's arms and hugged her, "It's okay, Emy. Accidents happen. Let's go get you changed into…"

"We have no children's clothes," Ji reminded the white Ranger. "I threw out Jayden's clothes as soon as he outgrew them."

"Stupid Nighlok," Serena muttered. Antonio, Jayden, Kevin, and even Emily gasped and pointed at her.

"You've got to watch that potty mouth, Serena," Mia chuckled. She took Emily back from Serena and walked excitedly to the front door, "Now, seeing as we don't have any clothes, let's go shopping! I have a dress in mind that would look adorable on you!"

Serena watched her leave with Emily and then she looked at the boys, "Great, that means I'm shopping for you. I guess it'll be good practice for when Terran gets older."

"I don't want to get clothes," Jayden shook his head. Kevin and Antonio agreed. Shopping was last on their list of things to do.

"The only clothes you can wear are the ones you have on now. Nothing else fits." Serena told them. "C'mon, boys, we need to go. We don't know how long you'll be stuck like this."

All three boys ran off in different directions, and Mike was still locked in the bedroom. Serena groaned and then did something she swore she would never do with Terran. She let them win.

"I'll buy you all a cool toy if you come with me."

Four little heads poked out from behind doors and around corners. Suddenly, all four young Samurai were by her side, tugging on her arms.

"Let's go!"

As they dragged her off, excited to pick out their toys, Serena looked over her shoulder at Ji.

"Unless you want another bonsai to break, baby-proof the house while we're gone."
