A/N: Here we go, cute six year old rangers moments

Chapter Three:

Jason let out a sigh of relief when the lunch bell rang, telling all first graders to line up, the teacher was trying out a new seating chart in class and he had been sat next to Eugene Skullovitch, or Skull, as everyone called him, mainly because there wasn't anything in his Skull. Most of the class was reading on their own and he still couldn't recognize the alphabet. The teacher had explained that he was in the top of the class and she was hoping he could help Skull.

Didn't the teacher care that Skull and his friend Bulk, who was in the other first grade class beat up Billy last week, or pulled Trini's pigtails, or spill a bucket of paint on Kim while she was wearing a brand new outfit.

Luckily there was no assigned seats in the cafeteria, just assigned tables for the different grades. He looked around as the lunch line crept forward, Zack and Kim already had their food and was seating down, hopefully there was room by them when he got there. He frowned, was Kim crying? It look like Kim was crying. If someone made Kim cry he was going to punch them.

Soon he had his lunch and he was sitting down next to Zack and Kim and could tell that Kim was crying, "What happened!" he demanded.

"Amber," Kim said with a sniff, pointing to another little girl with blonde hair that rode their bus and lived two houses down on the other side of the street from them.

"What about her?" Jason asked.

"She's having a party," Zack explained, "and she invited all the girls in our class except Kim."

"She says she can't have someone like me at her house 'cause I might steal something." Kim said with a wail.

"Nonsense," a new voice stated as Billy and Trini arrived, "just because we are foster children doesn't mean that you are a bad person."

Kim smiled at Trini, "I know that, but it doesn't mean it doesn't hurt when people judge us for what we are."

Just then Skull appeared, clutching a brown paper bag, "Can I sit by you?" he asked meekly.

"You don't want to sit with them," a bulkier boy stated with a snort, "They're foster kids, they're such losers their parents didn't even want them."

That comment set Kim off again which made Jason mad, "You made Kim cry! Take that back!"

"So, she's just a crybaby!" the boy taunted.

Jason had to get him to stop, he made Kim cry, so he did the only thing a first grader could think of, punched the other boy hard.

While Jason and Bulk fought it out Skull caught interest in something Trini had, a magnifying glass her parents had given her. "What's this?" he asked grabbing it.

"That's mine," Trini stated, launching at it.

However Skull move it away, "I like it, I think I'll keep it."

Zack stood up, placing his hands on his hips, "Give Trini back her magnifying glass!"

"Make me," Skull ordered with an annoying laugh.

Zack was on top of Skull in a heartbeat.

...

Zordon could just imagine the lecture he was going to receive from Ms. Peterson the next time he saw her. He was sure she would be able to find a way to blame the whole fist fight on his lack of discipline or the fact that he encouraged them in their interest in martial arts. He pulled up at the school and got out of his car shaking his head as he went into the office where Zack and Jason looked at him sheepishly.

"It's not our faults!" Jason cried out, "Bulk made Kim cry!"

"And Skull took Trini's magnify glass!" Zack added.

Zordon perched his lips, thinking about something, "Aren't those the names of the two boys that were bullying Billy last week?"

Jason nodded his head, "And they like pulling Trini and Kim's hair too."

Zordon turned to the secretary, "The paint was their doing as well. If you aren't protecting my children from bullies, why should you punish their brothers for doing it for them."

"I'm sorry, I'll talk to the principal and teachers and see what I can do."

As the secretary hurried away Jason asked in awe, "You aren't mad?"

"No, next time though, get a teacher when Bulk and Skull are picking on you, Violence is seldom the answer."

After talking to the principal for several minutes, insisting that the other boys involved in the fight get the same punishment, Zordon pointed out that Jason and Zack were sticking up for the other kids. However, the two little kids got suspended for a day.

...

Zordon groaned as he stood up, he had expected it to be a couple of days before Ms. Peterson heard of the suspension. He opened the door to realize that it was not the grouchy social worker but one of his neighbors and their young daughter, "Good day Mr. Ranger, Amber here would like to talk to Kim if she may." the woman stated, indicating the girl.

Zordon nodded his head, "Of course," he stated before stopping Jason, who was running by and saying, "Can you find Kim for me please?"

"Sure," he said nodding his head, before noticing the visitor, "What are you doing here? You are not going to tell Kim that she isn't good enough to come to your stupid birthday party because she's a foster kid again are you!"

"Just get Kim," Zordon ordered before turning to the to visitors, "I take it what Jason just said had some thing to do with what is going on?" he asked a tinge of anger in his voice.

The poor woman flinched, "Yes, I told Amber to invite all of the girls in her class, I didn't know that she was purposely leaving one out until I got a phone call from her teacher this afternoon around lunch about how she invited all the girls but one, Kim, and well you heard what she told Kim..." she paused for a moment, "Anyway as soon as she got home from piano I made her come over here."

"I see," Zordon said, wondering if she was just doing this because her daughter had been called out on it or if she wanted to set it straight.

Just then Kim came running down the stairs, "What is it Zordon?"

"Amber has something to tell you." he explained.

Amber scuffed her toe and looked down at the ground, "I'm sorry that I didn't invite you to my party, would you like to come?"

Kim nodded her eyes sparkling, "Can Trini come too, she's like my sister, only she's in the advanced class."

Amber opened her mouth only for her mother to interrupt her, "That's fine honey."

As they left her mother told Zordon and Kim, "I am sorry about what happened, I've tried teaching her manners."

"Well at least you try, some of the children they associate with make me wonder. When is this party, I'm afraid I'm taking the children to one of my summer homes for spring break, we will leave after school lets out Friday."

"It's the Saturday before School starts up again." she explained.

"I'll see to it that we get them there on time then."
