Bridge breezed into his room and came to a halt when he spotted a large package sitting in the middle of his bed. Curious, he made his way over and skimmed the note that rested on top of the box; To our fav Green Guy.

"Huh, wonder who it's from?" He shrugged absently and ripped open the package. Nestled inside was some odd gadget he'd never seen before. His jaw opened slightly in awe as he took in the sight of it. "Cool!"

He immediately cleared a spot on his already impossibly crowded desk and eagerly retrieved his new gift and set it gingerly on the desktop. I wonder what it does? He spied the familiar bits of a toaster and some long metal strings that ran from the toaster's underside up along a fret board to a tuning head. Oh, I guess it plays music while it toasts. Double cool! He studied it further; finally noting the long skinny board it was mounted on; Wheels? It must be self-propelled!

Bridge thought he would pass out from sheer joy. He'd always longed for a toaster that could follow him everywhere he went, but trying to hold a toasty appliance would prove difficult in the midst of combat, even for a Ranger.

He leaned over the machine, poking, prodding and twisting knobs in an effort to turn it on. Gotta be a power switch here somewhere, I might have to do some rewiring to make it more accessible though...

------------------------

Jack was starting to grow impatient. Their plan didn't seem to be working as they hadn't heard one peep from the Green Ranger since he'd entered his room nearly an hour ago. "What the heck could he be doing in there?"

"He's probably dissecting the thing by now. I told you this was a bad idea," Sky glanced up from his book to peer at the Red Ranger, "I knew he'd either never fall for it or he'd be trying to fix it to make it work."

The door to Bridge's and Sky's room hissed open and Bridge squeezed through the narrow space before the door had fully retracted. "Guys! You gotta check this out! This is so cool!" He turned back towards the room, then glanced over his shoulder and motioned to his teammates when he saw that none of them had budged an inch. "Come on! It's awesome!"

Though Sky didn't say it aloud, he shot a look of 'told you so' to each of his fellow conspiring teammates.

Jack sighed and admitted a silent defeat at their plan-gone afoul. "Sure, Bridge. What have you got?"

Syd and Z exchanged a quick glance after Jack stared them down, indicating that they'd 'better follow too since they were in on this plan after all'.

Sky followed in mild amusement, having told the other three Rangers they were out of their minds for even trying such a trick in the first place. He smirked as he prepared to enjoy the look of defeat on Jack's face.

"Okay!" Bridge turned to face his friends as he stood next to his desk, "So I came back to my room after training, right? And I found this large box with a note that said something about favorite Green Ranger or something of that sort, I don't remember exactly, but it was a very nice thing to..." he quickly shifted gears as he noted the matching sets of rolled eyes, "Anyways, turns out someone gave me a really cool gadget! Want to see how it works?"

Syd and Z could do nothing but stare wide-eyed at their teammate as Jack nearly choked and sputtered as Sky tried not to laugh out loud.

"Uh, Bridge? I'm not sure that's a good idea..." Jack began.

"Why not...?" But it was already too late; Bridge had already flipped a switch that Jack was quite certain hadn't been there before as the lights flickered briefly and there was a sudden spark as the contraption began to spew oily smoke and burst into flames.

"Shit!" Sky sprinted for the nearest fire extinguisher, which happened to be on the opposite side of the common room as Bridge attempted to beat the flames out with any nearby object he could find. Jack moved in to help him, but there wasn't much he could do other than to shove the rest of Bridge's things off the desk so they wouldn't catch fire as well.

"I'll get some water!" Z yelled.

"No!" Bridge shouted back, "Water doesn't work on electrical fires; it'll only cause more damage!"

"Then unplug it!" Syd screamed.

"Its wireless!"

Just great! Jack groaned mentally, Cruger's going to have our asses for attempting to burn the Academy down! "Sky! Where's the damn..."

"Move!" Sky yelled as he charged back in and quickly dowsed the contraption, the desk, a part of the floor and parts of Bridge and Jack as well.

When he stopped spraying, Jack glared at him. Why does this seem so familiar? he mentally groaned as he attempted to wipe the white stuff off his jacket. "Perhaps you should re-read the handbook section on the proper usage of a fire extinguisher."

"I told you this was a bad idea."

"Hey! This is kind of cool!" Bridge was distractedly poking a mass of foamy mess on his arm when Sky's last words finally seemed to sink in. "What was a bad idea?"

Jack groaned, resigning himself to the fact that Sky would never let him live this one down. "Bridge," he took a large breath and glanced briefly at the girls before continuing, "It was a joke. We were trying to confuse you by giving something that couldn't possibly work; figuring you'd finally be stumped by something," he shrugged, "It didn't seem to work. Sorry." Sky looked smug as he mock-holstered the extinguisher. Jack sighed again, "And Sky tried to tell us that too. Sorry."

Bridge seemed confused, "But...I don't understand..."

Jack cringed as he faced the possibility that Bridge would probably be crushed at the idea of his friends trying to play a trick on him. Just as he was about to try to reassure his teammate though, Bridge spoke up.

"But it should've worked. I knew it was faulty to begin with; I mean all the wires weren't properly grounded and the power supply wasn't hooked up at all..."

Four groans echoed throughout the small dorm room.
