Andrew had been driving for last two hours since he was taking all detours as possible. True, the drive would been shorter if he had just stayed on the highway and went on straight. But he had gotten a call from Kermit saying that Finster attacked him again. They were sure the rangers knew that Tommy was missing. More than likely it had probably been reported, and posters with Tommy's picture would be posted all over Angel Grove. However, he knew all the back roads in the area since he had his own trucking business.

"It's been really quiet back there," Andrew said as he came back on the main high way. "I haven't heard a peep out of Tommy lately."

"That's because Zeddy snapped his fingers," Rita smirked as she removed the sun glasses. For the first time, Kelly noticed that Tommy was hanging his head down and his chocolate eyes were looking down towards his lap. "We wanted to surprise you-"

"-Kelly, what is she talking about?" Andrew puzzled as he stopped when the light turned red.

"Until one of us snaps our fingers again, Tommy is a petrified statute," she explained when turn around and she saw Zedd braid the other side of Tommy's hair.

"Zeddy and I thought it would be nice if we could remove his sun glasses so we could enjoy seeing how helpless he looks," Rita added.

"Weren't those sun glasses designed to prevent him from seeing which routes we took!" Andrew shouted when the light turned green. "We worked hard to trick the rangers and we can't afford him escaping!"

"When Tommy returns to normal, he will only remember what happened before he was a statue," Kelly finished.

"Prefect," Andrew smiled looking at Tommy through the front mirror. "We'll be there in a half hour. When we get there put the glasses back on him."


Meanwhile, Maya paced around the command center with Kimberly tight in her arms. For the last hour Billy had been adjusting Aisha's old communicator. "When do you think we'll get to see Finster in his alien form?" She whispered to Kimberly.

"They still have to make modifications to the zeonizers," Kimberly answered when Maya took a seat in a chair. "It's going to take a while since Tommy and Kat didn't originally hand over their powers. I never told you this, but the morphers and communicators were designed to be reprogramed in case we have emergencies like this."

"So, that means, Aisha will be the pink ranger and Billy will be the red ranger for the time being?" Maya guessed looking up at the huge column at Zordon's head.

"That is correct, Maya," Zordon answered. "We are doing everything we can to find Tommy. But, for some reason his location can't be tracked."

"I bet it was probably my step-mother!" Kimberly said angrily when he eyes flashed pink. "She's been causing us all kinds of trouble."

"Kermit wanted Kimberly for some reason," Maya revealed. "But, Finster came and attacked him."

"Maya, I saw him in the mall three times today," Finster informed jumping up into her lap. "I saw him when I was looking for you and he walked out. An hour later, he came back into the mall and tried to attack your friends-"

"-I know," she interrupted giving him a kiss. "Kermit snuck back in and was looking for me. That's when you attacked him. Can you do it in your alien form."

"Unfortunately, I can only do it in my dog form," Finster answered licking her across the face. "But, Kimberly tells me that you are into art. When I'm in my alien form, I like to make things out of clay. I made all kinds of monsters for Rita and Zedd. Now, I want to use my sculpting to help the rangers out."

"Do you think you could learn to draw!" Maya gasped as her mouth dropped out.

"I'm sure I can," he beamed as he jumped out of her lap. He began to transform into his alien form. A few seconds later, a Finster was much taller than her. He still had on his glasses and head band on. But, now he was wearing a white tee shirt and overalls. He also had on a pair of gray sock and black boots.

"He's so cute!" Maya cried jumping out of her chair. She ran over to her dog and hugged him. "How often are you going to stay in this form."

"When I'm in the power chamber," Finster answered when he lifted her off the floor. "I'm going to design weapons and other special items to help you out."


Andrew pulled up at Hart Home which was close to Angel Grove High. Rita slipped the glasses back over Tommy's eye's and snapped her fingers. Tommy looked up when Rita removed the necklace with the orange stone over Tommy's head and removed the necklace with the clear stone.

"We're here," Kelly announced as Rita unbuckled Tommy's seat belt and Zedd lifted Tommy out of the truck. "I want you to look like Kermit."

"Follow us," Andrew ordered as he opened the front door.

Tommy's legs began to move as if they knew where to take him, even though the sun glasses prevented him from seeing anything. He walked into the house and heard a door open. Tommy walked down a stair case and walked down a long hall.

"You can look like Tommy again," Kelly spoke as she removed Tommy's sunglasses.

Tommy began to look around to view his surroundings. He was in a dark empty hall and it was barely lit up. "Come this way," she instructed as she led him down a stair case.

He walked down the stairs and saw he was in a large room. It had its own bathroom but it was small and appeared that it could hold only one or two people. In the left corner of the room was a small bed which was built into the wall. In the right corner was a chair with leather straps. Right in the center of the room there was a bench and several feet above it was a window."

Rita muttered a spell and his restraints fell off his body.

"What do you want with me?" Tommy demanded when the stripe off tape fell off his mouth.

"You wished to become the green ranger bear," Rita smirked when Tommy looked over to a mirror. "And we are going to give you what you wished for."

"I've had a change of mind," Tommy confessed when he saw his hair was braided. He pulled the hair bands out of his hair and started to unbraid his hair. "And I never want my hair braided again."

"Tommy, you'll love being a green ranger bear," Kelly taunted walking over to Tommy. "You will finally be the same size as your precious Kimberly and you will get to spend more time with her. Rita said the reason that you wanted to be a green ranger bear, was so she wouldn't have to go through it alone."

"That was before, you kidnapped me at the mall!" he shouted looking up at the window.

Tommy climbed up on the bench and peaked through the window. He was below the youth center. Rocky and Adam were prating karate. Across the room was Maya who appeared to be watching TV. Kimberly was sitting in Maya's lap. A greyish white terrier was lying next to them.

"Maya!" Tommy shouted as he started to peck on the door. "MAYA! KIMBERLY! HELP!"

Kelly and Rita walked over to Tommy who was still pounding on the window. "The room is sound proof," Rita smirked and Tommy turned to face her. "No one can hear you."

"And the window is a one-way mirror," Kelly added as Tommy's eyes flashed green. "You can see in, but no one can see in here."

Just as Tommy was about to charge at Kelly and Rita, Tommy's necklace flashed orange and he stood with his feet together and his hands at his sides. "That's fine," he approved in a hypnotized voice. "I'd like it down here much better anyway. I want to have some fun."

"You said that you want to be a green power ranger bear," Kelly reminded him and a smile appeared on his face. "We can give you."

"Really?!" Tommy gasped as his eyes lit up. "I've always wanted to see what life would be like as a toy, ever since I saw Toy Story. What do I have to do?"

Rita and Kelly turned to look at each other and they both started to snicker. "You need to go get down in the chair," Kelly stated as she pointed to the chair with straps. "While you are going through the transformation, you need to hold very still."


Author's note:

Will Tommy regret being turned into a toy? Do you think he'll have any memory of being hypnotized? What do you think is in store for Tommy as a green ranger bear?
