Cat: Hey all! SOOOOO sorry for the long wait! I had massive writer's block. However, I'm kinda on a roll right now and I've written several more chapters and the end is in sight (for me—y'all still have to wait looks devious) Thanks so much for your patience and enjoy!!!

Disclaimer: It's official. I no longer desire to own the Power Rangers—Operation Overdrive is Turbo all over again. So I sold it on eBay to the highest bidder.

"I don't get it." Dana admitted. "We've always avoided the ball park, and now you want to go?"

"Yeah. It'll be fun." Carter assured her. "And you and I won't be the only known Rangers there so they shouldn't bother us too much. Besides," He continued, "It's the Fourth of July. We need to get out of here. And Hannah'll love it." Dana sighed.

"Fine. Whatever."

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"Now guys," Joel said to Conner and Ethan just outside of the ball park. "There's a few things you've got to know before going in there. It's going to be crazy. The Rangers love it when Power Rangers come. But, if they ask you to morph you say 'no.'"

"Duh." Conner said. "We can't morph."

"Right well, if they ask you to show off a couple moves, you also say 'no.'"

"Also duh." Ethan said. "Conner had no skill anyways.."

"And if they ask you to wear the suite," Kelsey interrupted.

"Wait, what suite?" Conner wondered.

"The one the mascot wears." She clarified. Conner's eyes widened. "Well, if they ask you to wear it you say that Joel really wants to." The Green Ranger stared at her in horror.

"I do?"

"Come on Ethan." Conner said, grabbing his friend. "Let's go!"

"Wait!" Joel shouted after them. They didn't pause. "I don't wanna wear the suite!" It was pointless.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"No." Joel said for the fourth time.

"We'll give you a complimentary travel mug." The manager offered.

"I don't need a travel mug. I'm just here to watch the game." The manger sighed and took a step back. Joel had been there enough times that he knew he couldn't be pressured. Besides, he had an entirely new source of extra income.

"A commercial?" Conner repeated. "Dude, are you serious?"

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"CHARGE!" The Rangers yelled as the giant screen prompted.

"So, when was the last time they actually won a game?" Alyssa wondered.

"I don't think they've ever actually won a game." Dana replied. "Oh, popcorn!" She grabbed the bucket from her husband and put it between herself and Hannah. "Thanks, sweetie."

"Hey. I wanted some!" Both girls looked up at him innocently. He sighed. "Never mind."

"There's nobody here." Wes observed.

"There's never anyone here." Kelsey replied casually.

"At least we know this is one place we're not gonna get thrown out of." Wes said. "No way they'd toss the Power Rangers out of a baseball game for a team named after them and who nobody watches anyways."

"True." Joel said. "But we still have all the restaurants in Mariner Bay."

"Let's not try to get thrown out." Taylor said.

"Why not?" They turned to her, waiting for an answer. But she couldn't think of one.

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"I cannot believe we got thrown out." Wes said in amazement. They were all standing in the parking lot, staring at Tommy and Conner.

"What?" Tommy asked innocently.

"Why did you do that?"

"Do what? He was making an idiot of himself."

"So you decided to chase him through the entire stadium? That makes perfect sense."

"Hey!" Conner said defensively. "You all were being too noisy too!"

"What're you talking about?"

"That lady behind us? Yeah, that was the owner's wife."

"Oops."

"Hey! I said leave or I'm calling the cops!"

"Okay! Okay!" Conner shouted back. "We're leaving!" he turned back to his friends. "Can I drive?"

"No."

"Can I drive?" Kelsey asked hopefully.

"NO!"

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"You're back?" Kira questioned. She glanced down at her watch. "It's only been, like, an hour."

"We got thrown out." Ethan explained.

"For what?"

"Oh, the usual." Conner answered casually. "Except this time I think we violated some kind of noise ordinance."

"How did you manage that?"

"Dr. O. was running around the bases screaming." Answered Conner.

"What?!"

"So was Conner." Added Ethan.

"What?!"

"During play."

"Hey!" Conner shouted defensively. "I apologized to that guy I knocked over and he's knee is going to be fine."

"What?!"

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"They did what?" Captain Mitchell said in loud disbelief.

"It's a permanent ban." Haylie continued. "But the manager isn't pressing charges."

"What?!"

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

"Kira's healing really quickly." Dana said. Tommy, having returned to sanity, had also returned to his previously depressed state. She got no response from him. "It could have something to do with those genetic modifications." Still no answer. "Do you have any of your research notes? Maybe some past records of similar incidents?" Yet again, Tommy said nothing. "They could really help." He sighed.

"Yeah. But they're back in Reefside."

"Well, let's go get them."

"No!" Tommy said quickly. "I mean, you're a doctor. You need to stay here with Kira. I'll go by myself."

"It's not safe."

"Doesn't matter." He stood up. "I've got to help."

HHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH

Kimberly and Dana watched Tommy stalk out the door in silence.

"You following him?" Dana predicted after a moment.

"Yeah. Someone has to."

"You want me to come?"

"Nah. We'll be fine." She waved her off. "Catch ya on the flip side." And she vanished through the doors.

Cat: There it was, light and fun! But also it set up the next chapter which is going to be much more emotional, so stay tuned (and I promise it'll be out by next week!!) R and R please!
