Meanwhile, on the beach, Rocky walked around and looked out towards the water as Jason, Aisha, and Billy jogged up to him.

"Hey, Rocky," Jason greeted.

"Hey," Rocky acknowledged.

"How's volunteer life-guarding going?" Jason wondered.

"Great," Rocky answered. "I'm a little worried about Dougie, though. He won't go in the water," he continued.

"Why not?" Aisha wondered.

"Well, he's got this thing about monsters in the lake," Rocky answered and they all turned to the boy, who was gazing at the ground anxiously.

"Valid concern. We have fought sea monsters in the past," Jason responded in a low tone.

"Oh," Rocky said in surprise

"I know just how he feels. You know, there was a time when I wouldn't go swimming myself," Billy commented, bringing them back to the topic at hand.

"Hey, where's everybody else?" Rocky wondered.

"Tommy, Kim, and Zack went scuba diving, Trini's somewhere around here with Richie, and Adam's also here, but he's doing something with Justin and the others, but I'm not sure what," Billy responded.

"They said they all wanted to meet at the hotdog stand for lunch though…well, except for Trini and Richie," Aisha stated.

"Cool," Rocky said, and they all chuckled. Meanwhile, Tommy, Kimberly, and Zack swam through the lake. Seeing a fish, Kimberly pointed it out to the boys, earning a thumbs' up from Zack. Back on land, Trini and Richie were sitting in a secluded corner away from everyone else.

"I'm having a really good time, Richie. I'm glad you asked me out," she told him.

"Well, I'm glad you said yes," he responded. She ducked her head shyly. Back where Rocky was working, everyone was chattering happily. Then, someone noticed two fins sticking out of the water, and started screaming.

"Shark! Shark!" another person yelled and the cry was picked up. Hearing the yells, Rocky, Aisha, Jason, and Billy looked towards trouble.

"Uh-oh. Trouble," Rocky commented.

"I think we better check this out," Jason determined.

"I agree," Aisha said. They all hurried towards the water and Dougie stood up apprehensively. I told them there were monsters in there! he thought to himself. How come no one had believed him? Grabbing a wave runner, Billy and Rocky headed for the water as Jason and Aisha herded people out of the water and then got their own wave runner and followed their friends. Dougie hurried up to the girl he had been talking to before.

"See, I told you there were monsters!" he told her. When the Rangers got there, they were surprised to see that it wasn't sharks at all, but Bulk and Skull. I don't believe this! Aisha thought to herself. How could they be so irresponsible?

"Hey!" Bulk exclaimed. "Why do you dweebs always have to mess everything up?"

"Yeah, the Power Rangers would've been here any minute," Skull added.

"That's not funny, you guys. The lake isn't a place to be fooling around," Rocky scolded.

"Yeah, and you're lucky the Power Rangers didn't catch you! They wouldn't appreciate being called into action if there aren't any monsters to deal with!" Aisha shouted.

"Aisha---" Bulk began to say. Why is she so angry? he wondered.

"This was really stupid, Bulk! How could you be so irresponsible?" Aisha demanded. Bulk's head recoiled as if he had been slapped. I've never seen her so angry, he thought. What was up with that?

"Hey, calm down, girl," Jason murmured.

"Now you two stay out of trouble. I've got enough kids to look after," Rocky told them. Then, they drove off.

"I can't believe them," Aisha fumed. "What did I see in him?"

"Come on, girl. Everyone makes mistakes. Granted, this one took the cake, but if you really like him, why don't you give him another chance?" Jason advised. I can't believe I'm defending Bulk to her, he thought to himself.

"Hey Bulkie, can we get out here now? It's freezing in here," Skull said.

"Yeah, might as well. The Power Rangers aren't going to show up after this," Bulk responded. The two headed back for shore, unaware that Zedd's monster was tailing them from underwater. Dougie ran up the teens.

"What happened to the monsters?" he queried.

"There were no monsters, Dougie. They were just faking," Rocky answered, putting a hand on the boy's shoulder.

"Well, all this excitement's made me work up an appetite. Come on, let's go to the hotdog stand," Billy stated. And they took off. Meanwhile, Tommy, Kimberly, and Zack swam through the water. Up on the moon, the Slippery Shark had been completed.

"Where are they? Let me at 'em! Let me at 'em!" it cried. Goldar used his sword to transport the monster to Earth. With a cackle, it bounded across the lake.
