Flynn noticed Gemma coming back down the steps and grinned. Gem was fully distracted by Summer, Scott, Dillon, and the pool table. He cleared his throat and acted fast.

"Gemma."

"Yes?" She asked as she approached him.

"I've been thinking, the Road Attack Zord isn't quite perfect yet, and to help him get there he's going to need-"

"A few upgrades!" She exclaimed eagerly.

Flynn smiled and nodded, "Exactly. I was hoping that we could work on it now unless you have other plans."

Gemma glanced worriedly at Gem, but seemed to breathe a sigh of relief when she noticed he was busy. She smiled brightly up at Flynn, "No other plans what so ever."

"Good, so we can get started?" He asked as he scooted to the right and made room for her at his work station.

He watched contentedly as she began typing away. She was running every single scan or test she could think of that might tell them how to make the zord more efficient. After a few minutes she spoke up thoughtfully.

"It might help if we program it to activate with only one engine cell," She suggested.

"Can't hurt to try," He smiled. "What do we need to do?"

He stood there for a few minutes as she attempted to explain it to him. He understood some of it, but most of it sounded like gibberish to him. He stared at her in silence for a few minutes after she finished.

She bit her bottom lip, "It has a lot to do with the computer chips and the motherboards."

"Uh huh," He said as she scratched the back of his neck. So much for her not thinking I'm simple, he thought as he stared at her blankly.

"Maybe I'd better do it," She told him with a gentle understanding smile.

"Yeah," He agreed quickly. "I think that's a good idea."

He stepped to the side and let her approach the zord instead. She picked up one of the tools on the counter and popped open the hatch that accessed all of the zords computer systems. He watched her hands move rapidly as she shifted boards and chips from place to place. One of these days he was going to have to learn how she did all of that. Then again that might take away his excuse to spend time with her. He noticed she was having trouble getting the hatch closed again and he quickly picked up a tool he had sitting on the table and handed it to her. For some reason he was starting to feel a little drowsy and light headed.

"Thanks!" Gemma said excitedly as she accepted the hand tool. "I can't wait to see this upgrade in action!"

"Yeah," He said as he tried to focus on something other than the heavy feeling that was taking over his eye lids.

"There!" Gemma said as she shut the hatch and put the tool down on the table. "Just a few more adjustments on the programming and it will be battle ready!"

"Guys?" They heard Summer ask as they both turned around. Gem, Scott, and Dillon were unconscious on the floor.

"Guys, are you-" He felt very tired himself all of a sudden. The last thing he saw before the world went black was Summer's yellow top. He briefly registered saying something and hearing some one protest as he surrendered to exhaustion.
