A/N Just so we are all clear: There were no animals harmed in the making of this fic.

"Good Luck," said Trent reaching up to take Kira's empty water bottle before her first act.

"Thanks," she said, flashing him a killer smile.

Trent nodded, then turned and disappeared into the gathering crowd. Kira looked out over the sea of people for a familiar face and found herself staring at Conner and Ethan. Deep in conversation, they barley noticed when their teacher stalked into the room and strode purposefully over to their table, with that look on his face. Smiling, she gently strummed her guitar and began to sing, never taking her eyes from the heated argument that was taking place in the back. What has Conner done now, she wondered as the crowd suddenly broke into boisterous applause. Realizing that she had finished her song, she moved from the stage and pushed her way through the crowd to her friends table, just in time to catch the end of the argument.

"No," said Tommy heatedly. "I don't care if it was an accident or not, and I really don't see how something like that could be!"

"But Dr. O, I told you, Frank had never done anything like that before!"

Tommy shook his head and leveled a threatening finger at Conner. "You are going to call him and apologize."

The jock started to protest, "But I didn't…"

"No!" Tommy threw up his hand. "You. Are. Going. To. Apologize. To. Him."

Kira couldn't stand it any longer. She leaned over to Ethan and whispered in his ear, "What are they talking about?"

"Well, do you remember that last mission they went on? The one to Silver Hills?"

Kira nodded and rolled her eyes at the memory. It had been the only thing Conner had talked about for a week after his return; he really thought he was something getting to work with "the legends" as he called them.

"What about it?"

"Well, apparently there was a little 'incident'."

"Oh? Surely not with Conner along," she said sarcastically.

Ethan grinned but offered no further information. "Here, read this, maybe it'll help."

He handed her the next part of Tommy list. She took it and with a confused glance at her teacher, began to read.

161. If I build something, I expect you to APRECIATE IT! (Lots of love, Billy)

162. You may think you're a badass, but you're not. So quit making yourself seem like it. (Lucas!!)

163. If you're wandering through the forest make sure there aren't any sinkholes around…

164. Cole, the 'I WAS raised by animals' excuse will only work so many times! (Either give it a rest or learn some table manners)

165. "Meet my little friend' is such a cliché phrase; refrain from using it when pulling out a really big weapon. (Seriously, the monsters are starting to laugh at us.)

166. When a certain Red Rangers show boats...remind him that a certain red ranger saved his head from being trapped inside a pumpkin!...( Jason)

167. Don't take your magic for granted! (It's not for conjuring up pizza!)

168. Just because your teammate is a little strange doesn't mean they aren't right (Just ask Chip and Bridge)

169. Don't leave pictures of a guy kissing you on the cheek lying around. Your 'dead' fiancée may show up and he will be pissed.

170. Yes, the brooding rangers do have hearts. Just because they aren't as bubbly as you are doesn't mean they don't have feelings. (When you get to know him, Eric is really sweet.)

171. Ghostbusters will not be there to help, so just get on with it!

172. You are NOT superman, so stop looking for a phonebox and trying to extend your cape!

173. Younger male rangers stop hitting on EVERY female ranger, they WILL hurt you and the guys who secretly love them will exact revenge. (Conner stop trying to flirt with Maddie...Nick looks like he's about to burn a hole through your head.)

174. People do occasionally get injured in the line of duty, but don't worry, no one has ever died….…not permanently at least.

175. The zords and bikes are colored coded so don't show the world your stupidity by asking which one is yours. (Ahem, Conner)

176. Evil doesn't sleep…so you can't either…

177. Rangers, you are not allowed to have a Myspace! (Do I really need to explain the ramifications that this can have?!?)

178. I don't care how 'beautiful' that women is, when I call for help I mean now, not when you can tear yourself away from her. (FYI, she's a monster in disguise anyway, how sad is that? Can't even get a real girl to go out with you…)

179. There is no 'Ranger Hall of Fame' so stop trying to out do your predecessors. If they didn't make it, neither will you.

180. When going on a secret ranger mission, leave your pets at home!! (Frank, the family cat, "snuck" into Conner book bag during at trip to Bio Lab. They arrived on a Friday. When they left on Sunday, Eric's bird was MIA…)

Kira's mouth fell open as she reread the last rule. "No way!"

"Oh, yes way," said Ethan with an evil smirk. "All they ever found was a broken feather. My guess is that Frank the cat had a little midnight snack in Silver Hills."

"That's horrible," said Kira, glancing at Conner and Tommy.

"Yeah, course the bird could have just as easily escaped and flew away."

"I can see that now," replied Kira sarcastically, "the bird just opens the cage door and flies away into the sunset."

"Or someone let it go; it wouldn't be the first time. Either way, Dr. O seems to think Frank is the culprit. "

Kira let out a derisive snort, "have you ever seen frank?"

"No, why?"

"Just picture Garfield, only as a Siamese and fatter. He's too lazy to walk to his own food bowl, what makes them think he would go prowling around looking for a snack?"

Ethan shrugged, and then grinned as the argument took a tragic turn. In his attempt to defend Frank's honor, Conner leapt to his feet and knocked over his glass of coke.

Kira closed her eyes as the glass crashed to the floor and landed on Tommy's inadequately protected foot. He let out a low growl as Conner backed slowly away.

"I, uh, I'm going to go call Eric now," he said hurriedly, stepping far out of Tommy's reach. "And I think I need to go home and feed Frank, he gets testy when he doesn't get feed on schedule…."

A/N Ok, so one more chapter to go...any special suggestions you want to see? If so, you know what to do...make me smile...lots of love, you guys rock! And no, I haven't forgotten about the mysterious rule #6. :-)
