On earth at the Nasada Space Port, the rangers exited the megaship. Wes and Cole jostled each other as they headed down the ramp, the rest of the rangers trailing behind them. Andros and TJ stayed on board a little longer, making sure everything was locked down. When the group reached the bottom of the ramp, they paused and looked around at each other.

"Alright," Jason said. "So, before we all take off back to our own lives, I've got an invitation for all of you. I spoke to Trini on the way home, and we'd like to have you all over for dinner tonight. And you don't have to worry about a place to sleep. We've got guest rooms and a couch."

Tommy groaned quietly as the others exchanged excited glances.

"Sounds great to me," Wes said. "We don't need to be back tonight. Right, Eric?"

Eric shrugged, nodding in agreement.

"I'm in, too," Cole said. "Now that we're back on earth my team can just call me if I need to be back."

"Aquabase will survive without me for one more day," Carter said. "I'll just let them know I'll be home tomorrow."

"Well, I can't leave until Andros and TJ leave earth," Leo said. "So count me in."

"Great!" Jason said. "What about you, Tommy?"

He turned around to look at Tommy expectantly.

"I don't know, Jase," Tommy said slowly. "I—"

Before Tommy could finish answering, he was interrupted.

"YOU IDIOT!" a woman screamed across the hanger.

Tommy groaned again, rubbing a hand across his forehead. The other rangers all turned to see who was yelling, and why. The woman was storming across the hanger toward them.

"Aww… crap. This day just keeps getting better," Tommy muttered.

"Who is that?" Wes asked as she came closer.

"Someone I was hoping wouldn't catch me here," Tommy sighed.

His head jerked forward. She had reached them, smacking him in the back of the head.

"Ouch!" Tommy exclaimed, putting a hand to the back of his head and turning around. "Hi, Hayley."

The other rangers were looking at her in surprise. Hayley stood in front of Tommy, glaring at him with her hands on her hips.

"Umm… He does have a concussion," Carter said in concern.

Tommy groaned as Hayley's eyes narrowed.

"Oh good," she said. "We can add that to the list."

"You just had to tell her, didn't you," Tommy grumbled.

"Sorry," Carter said. "I was just trying to help."

"I know," Tommy sighed. "You're fine. Anyways, how did you find me?"

Hayley crossed her arms in front of her.

"Hmmm… I don't know," she said. "Maybe it was when I called the resort and Bulk and Skull said you had left early. Or that I couldn't find you anywhere. Or that you weren't answering your phone. Or the fact that I used to work here. Or how about the GPS tracker I planted on you?"

"Hayley!" Tommy exclaimed. "I thought had that discussion already. How that is not ok."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," she said. "And I haven't actually done it yet. But at the rate you're going I will."

All of the other rangers were staring at Hayley in complete shock. They didn't know how to react to her.

"Ummm… Is this your girlfriend, Tommy?" Jason asked hesistantly.

"NO!" Tommy and Hayley both yelled, glaring at Jason.

He put his hands up, taking a step backward.

"So when were you planning on telling me you were going to the moon?" Hayley snapped, turning back to Tommy.

"Well—Never," Tommy said. "I wasn't planning on telling you."

"Did you really think I wouldn't find out?" she asked.

"I can hope," Tommy grumbled.

Cole looked around at the others, and then back at Hayley and Tommy.

"Is she your pink ranger?" he asked.

Hayley immediately whipped around, turning her glare on Cole.

"Hayley, no," Tommy said, putting at arm out to stop her. "That's the rookie. His team isn't done yet and they need him. You can't kill him right now."

She stopped, her glare still focused on the youngest red ranger. He took a step backward.

"Fine," she snapped, turning back to Tommy. "But his team won't need him forever. I can wait."

Cole paled, looking around at the others. They just shrugged.

"Way to put your foot in your mouth, rookie," Jason muttered, leaning over to Cole. "And she's definitely not a pink ranger. Not even close."

TJ and Andros emerged from the ship, talking as they came down the ramp. Halfway down, they realized Hayley was there. They froze for a moment, looking at each other in horror. Spinning around, both men headed back up the ramp.

"Freeze!" Hayley yelled, catching sight of them.

Groaning, TJ and Andros stopped.

"You two aren't going anywhere yet," Hayley said. "I'm not done with you."

Sighing, both of the rangers walked dejectedly down the ramp to join the others.

"Wait, you know her, too?" Wes asked.

"Yeah," TJ said. "We know her."

Hayley glared at them and they flinched.

"Now," she said, looking at Tommy again. "Is there anything else I should know? Besides the concussion? And the fact that you missed your appointment?"

"Hayley," Tommy hissed quietly so no one else could hear. "Not in front of them. And I'll be fine. Andros and TJ took care of it on the megaship."

She shot the other two rangers another glare. They both flinched again. The others looked around in confusion, trying to figure out what was going on.

"Fine," she said. "But I'm still telling your mother."

"Wait a minute," Tommy responded. "Hayley—"

"Nope," she said. "You're not going to get out of it this time. I'm telling your mother that you skipped out on part of the vacation she set up for you to work."

"Hayley," Tommy groaned.

Crossing her arms in front of her, Hayley smirked.

"I guess next time you won't try and keep secrets from me," she said. "You know I always find out."

Tommy sighed, rolling his eyes and muttering under his breath. Jason glanced back and forth between the two.

"Ok," Jason said. "So, I don't mean to interrupt this—discussion, but I need your answer Tommy. We gotta get going."

"I don't think it's gonna work this time, bro," Tommy said, running a hand through his hair. "It's not that I don't want to. It's just that I really need to get back to wo—"

"The answer to what?" Hayley interrupted.

"Oh," Jason said. "I invited everyone over to my house for dinner tonight. The rest of the group is coming, but I guess Tommy is busy… You know Trini is not going to like that answer, bro."

"Oh!" Hayley exclaimed. "But that's perfect! He can definitely come."

Tommy groaned.

"Hayley, I need to get back to work," he protested. "I already took almost a week off. They're expecting me back."

"Well, maybe next time you won't cut your vacation short," she said. "You're supposed to be relaxing."

"I didn't exactly plan this," Tommy argued. "It just came up."

"Too bad," Hayley said. "You're going and you are going to have fun."

"But all of my stuff is still at the resort," Tommy said. "I have to go get it."

"Oh. And just how were you planning on getting back there?" Hayley asked.

"Cab," Tommy said with a shrug.

Shaking her head and rolling her eyes, Hayley reached into her pocket.

"And how were you planning on calling one?" she asked, holding out a cell phone.

Tommy frowned, patting his pockets.

"You left it in the apartment," she said. "I found it this morning after I called it for the twentieth time."

Sighing, he reached out to take the phone from her. But she pulled it away, sticking it back in her pocket.

"Wait, you two share an apartment?" Wes said.

TJ snickered and Tommy turned around to glare at him.

"Yes," he growled. "We're roommates. Although sometimes I'm not sure why."

As he finished talking he turned around to look at Hayley again. She just smirked.

"He's like my little brother," Hayley said, shoving Tommy's shoulder. "Someone needs to look after him. If I didn't, he'd be dead."

Tommy shook his head, grumbling again.

"I know the feeling," Jason said. "He almost got himself killed on the mission saving his butt."

Jason jerked a thumb at Cole.

"Hey!" Cole protested. "I was doing just fine on my own. It's his own fault he got hurt."

Tommy turned to stare at Jason in horror, too late to stop him. Hayley turned her glare back on Tommy, her eyes narrowing as she took a step forward. Jabbing a finger into his chest, she started pushing him backward as she spoke until he ran into the ship.

"You what?" she said, a dangerous glint in her eyes. "What happened?"

"Hayley," Tommy said, his hands up. "Everything is fine. I'm standing right here. See? I'm alive. Nothing to worry about."

"Spill," Hayley hissed, jabbing her finger in his chest again.

"Can't this wait til later?" Tommy asked, looking over at the others.

They were still staring, not really sure if they should help him or not. Hayley took a deep breath, glancing over at the rangers behind her.

"You are so lucky they're here," she muttered. "But we will be finishing this."

"Fine," Tommy relented. "I'll tell you everything. Just not now. Alright?"

Hayley nodded, taking another deep breath before turning around.

"Alright," she said. "Now, Jason, right?"

Jason nodded.

"Tommy will be coming with you," she said.

"Hayley—" Tommy started to protest behind her.

She turned around to glare at him. Sighing, he stopped, leaning back against the ship.

"Like I was saying," she continued. "He'd be happy to come visit you tonight. I will be going to pick up his stuff from the resort if someone else could give him a ride."

"Well, I'm on a motorcycle," Jason said, glancing around.

"He can ride with me," TJ said, shooting up his hand.

"TJ!" Tommy exclaimed.

"What?" TJ said. "I'm sorry. But she scares me more than you do, man."

Hayley smirked.

"Thank you, TJ," she said. "Tommy, get in the car."

"Hayley—" he said.

"Get. In. The. Car," she said, point toward TJ's car.

"Fine," Tommy grumbled, straightening up and heading toward the car.

"Yeah, Tommy," TJ said, laughing. "Get in the car."

Tommy paused, turning to look at TJ. The rest of the rangers had started dispersing to their own vehicles.

"Do I get to drive?" Tommy asked, holding out a hand.

"Yeah right," TJ said. "I'm not letting you drive my baby."

Tommy raised an eyebrow.

"I might feel safer," Andros said.

"Hey!" TJ exclaimed, turning to frown at Andros.

"What?" Andros said. "At least he's trained to drive fast."

The walked over to the car with Tommy and started to climb in.

"And besides," he said. "I'm pretty sure everything I've read about driving on earth says that stop signs aren't optional."

"Nah," TJ said. "The ones with the white borders are always optional."

He and Andros shut their doors, cutting off their conversation. Tommy groaned, opening his door and climbing in. Shaking her head, Hayley turned to Jason. She pulled a card out of her pocket and handed it to him.

"Here," she said. "Text me your address. I'll meet you guys there after I stop at the resort."

Jason nodded, taking the card. Without another word, Hayley turned and strode out of the hanger. Shaking his head, Jason headed to his motorcycle. He climbed on, pausing to text Hayley before taking off, leading the caravan of cars to his house.
