Just a reminder, I cannot PM anonymous reviewers.

High school was hard on crutches. It was even harder when she knew no one in school. The Rangers had all been called by Ms. Chesterfield to the principal's office because they had missed their first day of school and so Rebecca was left to fend for herself in the hallway with a badly sprained ankle and a bag full of books.

"Out of the way, new kid," a big kid walked up to the locker next to hers and seeing she was taking up a lot of his room, decided to push her out of the way. Rebecca had no balance and fell into the other guy going through his locker next to her. Frustrated she would push him, he pushed her back, and both the boys squeezed her away from her locker and pushed her on the floor.

"Hey! That's mean!" Rebecca said. The two boys looked at her, then each other, and then laughed. The collected their books and started to walk to class. It was then they bumped into Gia.

"Help her up," Gia said. The boys shrugged their shoulders.

"Who?"

"My friend," Gia pointed to Rebecca. "You pushed her over. Help her up."

"We have to get to class."

"She does too. Help her up."

One of the boys grumbled and put his books in his friend's arms. He walked up to Rebecca and held out his hand. He pulled her up to her feet and handed her her crutches.

"Now say you're sorry."

"Sorry…" the boy said. He took his books back from his friend and they rushed off to class. Rebecca looked over to Gia.

"Thanks."

"No sweat," Gia shrugged. "This school isn't exactly friendly with new students."

"Shouldn't you be with Ms. Chesterfield?" Rebecca started to gather up her books again while Gia held up her bag to make it easier to pack everything. The yellow Ranger nodded her head.

"She gave us our schedules. We've got private classes. You know, because of the Ranger thing."

Rebecca nodded her head and assumed that when they got together at school, Troy confirmed to the other Rangers that Rebecca knew who they were.

"Are you on your way to class, then?"

"Not quite," Gia shook her head. "I talked to Ms. Chesterfield about that idea we had. You know, talking to the ninth graders?"

"Yeah."

"She's on board with it. She says she really likes the idea. Apparently, she's seen a lot of kids start high school with a lot of potential, and then had to watch them throw their lives away over bad decisions. She actually wants the whole school to hear the presentation."

"The… the whole school?"

"We'll be anonymous," Gia reassured Rebecca and put a hand on her shoulder. "Ms. Chesterfield is going to have the drama club come up with some presentations based on information we give her."

"What kind of information?" Rebecca asked.

"How you got involved with drugs," Gia explained. "How you got pregnant…"

"Uh, can we skip the how? I think everyone knows how."

"How it happened. Like… what led up to it."

"That's better. I guess I can share that. And the drama students are going to write a play?"

"Ms. Chesterfield didn't say what, exactly. I think she wants the students to come up with something creative. We'll talk to her more about it over lunch."

"Am I eating lunch in the office?" Rebecca asked with a groan. "I thought I put those days behind me. That's not fun."

"Ms. Chesterfield is pretty cool," Gia shrugged her shoulders. "And it's the only time we'll have to talk, unless you want to do so after school?"

"Lunch it is," Rebecca chuckled. Then she and Gia heard the bell ring, which signalled the start of the school day. Rebecca groaned when she realized she wasn't sure how she was going to get around her new school on crutches when she barely knew where any of her classes were. Just as she was about to head off to figure something out, positive whatever she did, she would be late anyways, she felt Gia take her bag of books from her.

"I can be late. Dr. Oliver will understand," Gia smiled. "What's your schedule?"

"Science first period with Mr. Hurley."

"Burley," Gia corrected her. "That's a good class. Mr. Burley's great."

"He seems kind of weird," Rebecca said. "I don't think his head is screwed on straight."

"Probably not," Gia shook her head as she started to lead Rebecca down the hallway. "But he knows his stuff. That's probably the one class where I was never completely bored out of my mind."

-Megaforce-

Emma walked into class as the bell rang. Like Gia said to Rebecca, she and the other Rangers were in a special class. It was the same format Ms. Chesterfield had adopted for them at the end of their junior year, when she noticed the five of them were skipping classes quite a bit and falling behind. She could see a lot of potential in each of them, and rather than punish them with detentions she took matters into her own hands and tried to adapt the classes so they would be more motivated to learn. This year, she knew they were Rangers. Thomas Oliver, a teacher she hired to start working this year, had informed her that those five students were the Power Rangers. Ms. Chesterfield would take their secret to her grave, but knew something had to be done to help these kids. On a daily basis they put their lives in danger to protect the planet from monsters Ms. Chesterfield used to think only existed in nightmares. The least she could do was ensure they received a proper education.

Ms. Chesterfield had done a little shuffling, but she put all five of the Rangers in one classroom with Dr. Oliver as their teacher. She figured the best thing she could do for the current protectors of the Earth was give them a former Ranger as a teacher. Of everyone, Dr. Oliver would understand the trials of being a high school superhero. When she had to explain her decision to the principal, she simply stated that this was an experiment for future classrooms, and if the students did well, they could consider opening up more specialty classes.

Emma was looking down at her cell phone as she walked into class. This was her second full day without Jordan and she already missed him. They kept in touch through text messages, especially after the day before. Jordan liked knowing his girlfriend was a Power Ranger, but hated all the dangers that came with it. When he heard Emma had been kidnapped, he had almost driven himself crazy wondering if she was okay. Now, he was texting her almost non-stop to make sure she got to school safely and that she was never by herself and vulnerable.

"Emma…" Dr. Oliver said when he saw his student on her phone.

"Sorry, Jordan's freaked after yesterday," Emma quickly texted a goodbye to her boyfriend and put her phone in her pocket. She took a seat at her desk. Jake looked to her with a kissy face.

"You're texting Jordan? Aw, do you miss him?"

"Yes," Emma answered him with a straight face. "Not everyone is lucky enough to be in the same school as their partner. Much less the same class."

"Alright, alright, settle down, guys," Dr. Oliver said. The bell for class had rung, and though he could see he was one short, he decided he would get started anyways. Today was the first day for them, after all, and he had a lot to cover. "I'm sure this is an adjustment for everyone, but we're here to learn. Cell phones should be put away."

Emma made sure her phone was silent and tucked out of sight. Noah raised his hand and looked to Dr. Oliver.

"So, we all know why we're here. How is this going to work?" he asked. "I mean, do we get extended time for assignments if monsters attack the city? Can we suggest assignments?"

"Dude, no," Jake groaned and put his head down on the desk. "Come on, Noah, isn't it bad enough the teacher gives us assignments? You want to add more on top of that?"

"Yeah, you know, like something interesting," Noah nodded his head. Jake rolled his eyes and then his hand shot up.

"Do we get more field trips?"

Dr. Oliver was about to answer when the door opened and Gia walked in. He looked to the yellow Ranger and then pointed to the clock.

"I understand you're all a little confused about how this class is going to work out. I agree, this is a little strange for me as well. But I do expect you all to arrive on time."

"I was helping Troy's sister get to class," Gia explained. "She's on crutches."

"Monster attack," Troy said. "Thanks, Gia."

"Monster attack?" Dr. Oliver asked. "You mean the one that kept you from school yesterday? Troy, your sister got involved?"

"She knows," Troy nodded his head. "She's pretty smart when she wants to be. She figured it out by herself and then decided to come and help us out."

"That's going to happen," Dr. Oliver agreed. "Perhaps not people wanting to help out, but you are going to have civilians who think they can get in on the action somehow. Reporters who want a great shot or story. Kids who don't understand how dangerous your job can be."

Jake pretended to cough, "Jordan."

"Shut up," Emma frowned at the black Ranger, "He learned his lesson."

"I'm sure you've all experienced it before," Dr. Oliver said. "But I don't think it can be stretched enough. Your identities are secret for a reason. If you love and care about your friends and family, you'll do all you can to keep them out of harm's way. Troy, Rebecca knows she can't talk about this to anyone, right?"

"Yeah, she knows," Troy answered. "Like I said, she's smart when she wants to be. She learned her lesson the hard way."

"Jordan's good too," Emma nodded her head.

"Hey, wait a minute," Jake put his hand up again, "If our identities are secret, and they need to stay that way to protect the people we care about, why did you blab about us to Chesterfield?"

"That's a good point," Noah agreed.

"You guys needed help," Dr. Oliver answered. "Do you have any idea how many detentions my teammates and I got because we had to ditch school to save the world? Never mind how quickly all our homework piled up. It's stressful, and I knew this was the best way to help you. Ms. Chesterfield has only your best interest in mind and I knew she would be a safe choice."

Dr. Oliver picked up some papers from his desk and started to hand them around, "Look, we'll have time to talk about Ranger duties as the year goes on. Why don't we all start off with a little pop quiz?"

"Are you kidding me?" Jake dropped his head down on the desk and groaned loudly. Dr. Oliver chuckled.

"Relax, it's not graded and it's just revision from last year."

"I didn't study."

"No one studied," Gia chuckled. She looked down at her paper, "Jake, c'mon, this stuff is easy."

"For you," he grumbled.

"Alright, class, you have ten minutes. It's just short answers and multiple choice. Ms. Chesterfield said you were all gifted and bright students but I'd like to see for myself what I'm working with."

"Does anyone have a pencil?" Jake raised his hand. Noah didn't look up from his paper but chuckled to himself. Jake was good in school when he was committed, but getting him started in a new year was always a challenge. Dr. Oliver would have to come up with an interesting first lesson if he wanted to get Jake on board quickly.

"You can use mine," Gia offered Jake the pencil she was using. When he gave her a funny look, thinking she would need it to write out her test, she put the pencil down on his desk and then walked up to the front of the class with her paper.

"You're done?" Dr. Oliver asked her and looked over her answers. It didn't take him long to mark it. All the answers were correct. "Wow. Ms. Chesterfield wasn't kidding…"

"Done," Noah jumped up from his seat and handed in his paper, and then he stuck his tongue out at Gia. "If this had been all science questions, I'd have beaten you."

"Dream on," Gia shook her head. Again Dr. Oliver didn't need long to correct Noah's test.

"I'm going to have to come up with harder quizzes."

"Guys, you're killing me," Jake grumbled as he erased one of his answers. "You two know that some of us actually have to try to get into college, right?"

Suddenly, Troy and Emma started to move from their seats. When they saw the other was done at the same time it was a race to get their papers to Dr. Oliver first. Troy jumped over his desk while Emma sprinted quickly across the room. They put their papers down at the same time.

"Why don't you teach the Rangers?" Dr. Oliver grumbled as he picked up the papers. "You have experience. It'll be fun. Ms. Chesterfield doesn't know what she's talking about."

"How did we do?" Troy asked. Dr. Oliver graded the papers quickly.

"Ninety to each of you. I've circled the question you missed. And by the way, no flips, sprints, or jumps in the classroom. Training takes place outside."

"Sorry," both of them said as they looked over their papers. Emma then looked back up at the former Ranger.

"You know, considering the size of the class, it wouldn't be too difficult to email homework and assignments back and forth, and you could save a lot of paper."

"I'll consider it, Emma."

"Yes!" Jake said and put his hands up in the air, "Aha, go Holling!"

"Jake, are you done?" Dr. Oliver looked over. Jake glanced up and then shook his head.

"What? Oh, no. I got my first answer… why is everyone standing?"

"We're done," Noah smirked. Jake looked down at his paper, heard his friends chuckling and sighed.

"I have summer brain, alright! Just wait until gym class. I'll kick all your butts!"
