This one takes place after 'Ranger Green' and probably before my fanfic 'Anniversary'. In case you haven't heard, I don't own the Power Rangers but Haim Saban does. And there's a PJ reference… but Rick Riordan owns PJ, not me.
8: On the Town
"Seriously, Dillon? You barely leave the Garage," Ziggy complained, following Dillon down the stairs. "I got you to Corinth, and I can show you around Corinth!"
"And get you kidnapped by the cartels again? No thank you," Dillon snorted. Ziggy rolled his eyes.
"That was a one time thing! Besides, after doc scared them with her sound cannon I doubt they'll come after me again."
Dillon made a noncommittal sound.
"Great! After lunch sounds good to you?" Ziggy asked before dashing off to his training session with Dr. K. Dillon exhaled wearily. How did Ziggy do that?
So after a lunch of PB&J sandwiches the two friends left the Garage on foot, their Ranger jackets left behind in the Fury. Allowing Ziggy to skip ahead of him slightly Dillon asked, "Where to first?"
"The candy store!" Ziggy proclaimed. Both of them knew about Dillon's sweet teeth.
After a complete pig out at the candy store Ziggy showed Dillon around the park and then the beach. When Dillon asked how the heck could there be a beach under the dome Ziggy shrugged and told him to ask doc.
Then they toured the miniature Statue of Liberty… although to Dillon it didn't seem all that small. But Ziggy insisted that it was. They got hot dogs and cotton candy there, eating them as they toured downtown. Because of the odd cartel members Ziggy spotted they had to take occasional detours. After that they headed into the center of the city. Dillon saw a lot of businesses and houses there… some of them quite spacious and elaborate. That struck him as somewhat unfair, but who was he to judge? Not even Dillon knew.
For a while they just stared up at the command tower.
"What if it fell down?" Dillon asked, having finished off his cotton candy. Considering how it was just hanging from the zenith of the dome, it seemed to be a valid query to him.
"Five words," and Ziggy counted them off on his morpher hand. "That would be real bad."
They continued to visit places around Corinth, but as the virtual sun dipped lower and lower in the virtual sky the two ended up walked along the city wall. Standing under the spot where the 'sun' was setting, Ziggy asked, "So did you like the tour?"
"Not bad," Dillon conceded. "But let's go back to the Garage."
"Home sweet home," Ziggy half-joked as they headed back into the city.
