To those that are waiting for the story about Tommy's and Kiki's wedding Im going to wait a little while to get this one farther along than I'll start posting that one. THANKS

"So this is the Youth Centre," stated Ethan as he stood across the street from the grey building.

"Dr O didn't say anything about a gym; maybe I could get a session in later?" Said Connor dreamily.

"Earth, to Connor, come in Connor, remember why we are here, to watch for our mutual friends" said Kira sarcastically, she then proceeded to wave her hand in front of Connor's eyes to snap him out of the day dream he seemed to be in.

"We have just enough money for a smoothie each, not for you to flex your pecks" said Ethan.

"Um, Kira mutual friends?" asked Connor.

"The Power Rangers! Duh" replied Kira in a low tone as not to be overheard by passers-by. She rolled her eyes at the sheer stupidity of her fellow Ranger. "Come on lets check this place out" interrupted Ethan.

The three teenagers crossed the street and entered the Youth Centre. They followed the corridor to the main hall, which opened up to the gym and juice bar. All three of them stood to the left of the door and surveyed the area. Ethan was not happy.

"Is this it?" he quietly enquired "three quarters of the sports hall dedicated to gym work and the rest covered with tables and chairs to serve customers for the juice bar, what about computer fun?"

"What about those arcade machines in the corner?" pointed Connor who received a shocked 'no way' look from Ethan "Well, I think this place is cool! A place to work out and then a refreshing drink, Dr O was so lucky!" whispered an excited Connor.

"This place is ok but do they actually listen to music here? Probably recorded" snorted Kira "Come on guys, let's get a drink and play the waiting game."

Kira lead the way to the bar and sat on the second farthest seat on the counter; Connor sat next to her and Ethan next to him. They found a menu and studied it. Ernie came out of the storeroom and greeted his new customers.

"Hi Guys, Welcome to Ernie's Juice Bar, I'm Ernie what can I get you?"

"Hi" replied Connor "I'm Connor, this is Kira and to my right is Ethan" each Ranger nodded in greeting" Um... Can I have a special smoothie please?" Connor had not really studied the menu so he just said the first thing that came into his head "make that two" added Kira "No three" added Ethan.

"Three Specials, coming right up, you won't be disappointed." replied Ernie.

Connor handed over the money and Ernie went onto the store cupboard to collect the ingredients.

Connor spun round on his seat and scanned the Youth Centre, "There not here yet" said Connor, both Ethan and Kira turned round and looked around themselves.

"Of course not Connor, if a strange group of Rangers turned up to help you fight a monster and then disappeared, would you return to your civilian life? Of course not, you would spend sometime researching the newcomers. They could be awhile yet," replied Ethan.

All three rangers swiveled on their chairs back to face the bar, when they heard Ernie returning with the ingredients. After a few minutes there were three special smoothies sitting in tall glasses in front of the teens.

"Enjoy" said Ernie; he then left the students to serve other customers.

"Better make this last guys, we have 45 minutes left until we meet Dr Oliver," stated Kira.

"Ummm this is nice," said Connor who was sucking his smoothie through as straw. "Got to get the recipe, maybe Hayley could make this at the cyber café?"

"I second that," stated Ethan.

The three students stayed seated on their seats, drinking their smoothie's and watching the coming and goings of the teenagers of Angle Grove.

In the command centre, the Power Rangers were having no luck in researching anything about the Dino Thunder Rangers.

"There is nothing about them anywhere in the Command Centre database" said a frustrated Billy.

"You mean not even the term Dino Thunder?" asked Kimberly.

"No" replied Alpha.

"Did they lie to us?" inquired Rocky.

"I don't know," replied Tommy "If they don't exist what can we do?"

"You can do nothing at the moment Rangers, Alpha and I will continue to monitor for the foreign Rangers and try to find more information on them. For the moment I suggest that you return to your normal lives, "commanded Zordon ",I fear that the alliance that will surely happen between Zedd and the new monster will cause more chaos in Angle Grove. I believe that we will see the Dino Thunder Rangers again."

"Your right Zordon," replied Adam ", There is nothing more that we can do here, let's go to the Youth Centre, I need a smoothie after today's events"

"That's a good idea, anyway if we do meet the Rangers again we can ask them our questions," asked Tommy.

"Aisha and I will meet you there" replied Kimberly "when we got the call, we were shopping and we had to hide our bags, I bought this really great top, which I would like to go and get."

"Ok, we'll see you at the Youth Centre in 15 minutes. There is something about the new team that I can't put my finger on," Tommy paused for a second ", Ready to go guys?"

"Sorry guys but I'm going to stay here for a couple minutes, ok?" Kiki replied.

"Yeah it's fine Kiki just don't stress over it," replied Billy and after surveying the other rangers said ", and the rest of us are ready to go, Tommy."

"Ok lets go then and be careful Ki," said Tommy to his oldest friend.

"Yeah I will don't weary, ok?" replied Kiki. The rest of the gang just nodded in agreement.

The six other teenagers gathered in a group in the middle of the command centre, touched their communicators and teleported to there respective places.

Kiki looked back to where her friends were moments before. With a loud sigh she turned back to Zordon and Alpha. "Zordon I don't understand how this could happen. I mean how could there be a team that you don't know about? It makes me wearied that their after you and Alpha or one of us and our power." Kiki was freaky out about it. She was wearied that they could lose both of them again and she didn't like to think about that at all.

"Kiki I understand your concern and I thank you for caring about both Alpha and myself. But I believe the DinoThunder Rangers are good at heart and is here because of the evil Phantom Stinger. I also believe that the reason that I had no information on them is because they are from a different time." Zordon informed her.

Kiki's head was spin from the info Zordon told her. "A different time? How… I mean how is that possible? I…. Wow!"

"I am not sure how it happened but in till Alpha and myself talk to them personally. In till then, Kiki, I would appreciate it if you would not tell the other rangers about this yet. Not in till we have all the information."

"Sure Zordon I won't tell them. But there is one more thing that's bugging me though. It has to do with their Black Ranger. I don't know what it is but something is telling me that I know him, and that I've known him for a long time. Plus his style of fighting seemed really close to Tommy's style."

"I see. Thank you for telling me that. With that information we could find out who the DinoThunder Rangers are and when in time is their home. But in till then , Kiki, I would truly appreciate it if you would not tell the other rangers. Now, then I think its time that you go back and be with your friends and have fun."

"Ok Zordon I'll go but if you or Alpha need help just call." And with that said Kiki teleported to the Youth Center.

Dr Oliver was feeling a lot happier than he had been for the last couple of hours. He was very glad to see Angle Grove again but not when a younger version of himself was here! For some strange reason, he had always kept warn pre 1995 bills in his wallet, with very few later ones. He couldn't remember why he had this habit but it had come in handy today. His three young students were going to be impressed with the accommodation he had acquired. It was a Bed and Breakfast, located in the outskirts of the city near the mountains. For a reasonable price he had managed to get two rooms for two nights, with a lot of persuading. The task had taken 30 minutes and with the walk back and forth from the city centre he was going to be 15 minutes late to meet the rest of his team.

"Heh Heh" thought Dr Oliver "First time back to this city in years and I am already falling back in to old habits of being late!" Dr O proceeded to walk towards the Youth Centre, walking past the mall entrance, when suddenly the doors opened and out stepped Kimberly and Aisha talking about their latest shopping trip. Dr Oliver stopped in his tracks, causing his heart to leap into his throat. When she was morphed it was easy to ignore her and focus on defeating the monster but here she was unmorphed and as beautiful as ever. Part of him was still slightly bitter at what she had done to him and at what she was going to do to the Tommy of this time. The other part of him was glad to see his ex-love back before the letter was sent. "Come on Oliver get over it! Remember your married to a beautiful woman that you love and loves you back," he thought. Reality suddenly struck him as he remembered where he was and who she was with. He quickly looked around for an escape route as he couldn't afford to be seen, it would lead to unwanted attention. Slightly panicking he turned towards to mall window, seemly fascinated on what was on display. Kimberly and Aisha both walked past him more concentrated on shopping and their destination than on faces on the street. Dr Oliver turned to face their retreating figures and was convinced that if he where the slightly shorter, slimmer version of himself now, with his long hair, he would surely have been recognized. He silently thanked his racing manager, in his racing days, who suggested that for better performance he should have shorter hair, something about air resistance.

"That was close. If there here that means the Command Centre could be free of Rangers, I gotta hurry and tell the others," he thought as he set off in the same direction and Kim and Aisha, the youth centre.

Dr. Oliver stood across the road from the Youth Centre learning up against a streetlight. 10 minutes ago he had watched Kimberly and Aisha walk into the centre with their shopping bags. He had expected Connor, Kira and Ethan to be hanging outside the Centre complaining about how late he was.

"For making me wait this long maybe I could put them in detention before Randall gets hold of them?" he thought evilly "They'll really love me for that!"

Dr O waited for another 10 minutes "Where the hell are they, " he thought ", I have no choice, I'll have to go in and see if they are still in the Youth Centre, but if the other Rangers are in there, how can I go in?" As he thought about how to enter the Youth Centre his eyes caught his Black Dino Gem reflecting sunlight brightly from his bracelet. He smiled, and then mentally smacked himself for not remembering his own special gift the Dino Gem Bond had given him. Dr Oliver looked around for a suitable spot to turn invisible; and headed to the back of the building as he had an idea. To avoid being bumped by students he would use Ernie's storeroom exit as it was usually unlocked and only Ernie would be around, who he could easily avoid. As he came round the back he spotted the door, which was wide open, Dr Oliver grinned at his sudden good fortune. He glanced around to check if anyone was watching, there was no one; he stood completely still and concentrated. The Black Gem glowed gold briefly and then invisibility cloaked him. Dr Oliver headed for the storeroom, which was completely empty of people except for ingredients. He could hear sparing coming from the Youth Centre hall and from the sound of it was very intense. Dr Oliver slowly made his way towards the noise, and stopped in the doorway. Everyone in the sports hall was frozen in place in fascination watching the sparing duo.

Dr Oliver ignored the attraction and scanned the area looking for his students; they were still at the counter but had turned to watch the entertainment. He chuckled to himself. They had gotten so involved in the fight that they hadn't noticed the time. While everyone was stationary, Dr Oliver easily weaved his way around the bar, through the few teenagers that were in the immediate area, and made his way to the empty seat next to the wall on the left side of Kira. From the intense look on her face, she was too engrossed in the battle to notice if he suddenly reappeared at the side of her. He decided to wait until the little show was over before he made his presence known. Only now did he look at what event had the whole Youth Centre's attention. It didn't surprise him one bit when he found himself watching his younger self and Rocky sparing. "Oh the recuperative powers of youth" he thought "not too long ago they were fighting a monster and less than 2 hours later, here they are going through intensive sparing, how did I do it?" He physically shook his head in disbelief. "They haven't got long left of this pattern before they take a break, I'll have to wait until then to make my move." Dr Oliver made himself comfy on the seat and settled down to watch the entertainment.
