Kira was standing in front of her open locker. She looked around for Parker, but instead of seeing her boyfriend she saw Trevor and Rick coming her way.
"Gee and I thought I could get through 1 day without running into those two." Kira said to herself.
Kira turned her back to them and leaned up against the lockers.
"So Babe, given any more thought to my offer, or do I go and tell Dr. Oliver that you were making out with Parker." Rick said.
Kira rolled her eyes and turned to face them.
"First, don't call me Babe, it is not my name. Second of all, why don't you two go back to the Circus where you belong." Kira said.
"Oh very funny this coming from somebody who is dating a 19-year-old that is still in High School." Trevor said.
"You guys are the ones that are dumb. Seriously why don't you go pick on somebody with your own IQ!" Kira said.
"Oh yeah and who might that be?" Rick asked.
"Try the Zoo; they're right up your alley." Kira said smiling.
"You think you are real cute, I'll show you something you haven't seen before." Trevor said as he slammed her locker shut.
Kira jumped at the sound the locker made when it closed.
"How about I show you something you haven't seen before. Oh wait that would be the alphabet." Kira said sarcastically.
"You will pay for insulting us!" Trevor said.
Kira expected them to leave her alone. Why isn't it working, it worked for Kim on Bulk and Skull. Now she has to defend her self. Trevor tried to grab her and she moved and shoved him into the lockers. Principal Randall came walking down the hall and saw just Kira shoving Trevor into the locker.
"Ms. Ford, what do you think you are doing?" Principal Randall asked.
Kira looked to see her standing there.
"We were minding our own business and she comes and starts insulting us and the she attacked us." Trevor lied.
"That is not how it happened." Kira said.
"Hush, I know what I saw. Come to my office. Trevor, Rick you should join us so that I can get the full extent." Principal Randall said.
Kira rolled her eyes, she knew she was in trouble and they were lying as she followed Randall to her office.
Tommy was in the hall outside his classroom when Conner and Mercy came by.
"Mercedes, how are you doing?" Tommy asked.
"I'm okay. I keep expecting something to go wrong though. I know that Dad said I shouldn't worry about my real dad, but I am." Mercy said.
"Jason won't let anything happen to you. Neither will the rest of us." Tommy said.
"Dr. Tommy Oliver, please come to my office immediately." Randall said over the intercom.
"I have to go. Conner, get her home safely and come straight home." Tommy said as he walked down the hall.
Tommy reached the office, what could she possibly want now? He thought as he knocked on the door.
"Come in!" Randall said.
Tommy opened the door and saw Kira sitting in the chair in front of Randall's desk. Also in there was Trevor and Rick.
"What is going on?" Tommy asked.
Randall said, "This one," pointing to Kira, "Insulted and attacked these two." Pointing to the boys.
"That is not how it happened?" Kira said to Tommy.
"There are 2 sides to every story, did you even bother to hear Kira's side." Tommy asked Randall.
"I saw her shove Trevor into the lockers. That was all I needed to know. Boys you may go." Randall said dismissing Trevor and Rick.
The boys left and smirked at Kira as they left the room.
"You said she insulted them, what exactly did she say?" Tommy asked.
"I didn't understand her comments; something about them belonging in a Circus, picking on someone with their own IQ and it being in the zoo. The last one being that they hadn't seen the alphabet." Randall said.
As Tommy listened to the comments, he got them and he knows where she got them. From Kimberly, it contained all the same context that Kim used on Bulk and Skull back in high school.
"What are you going to do?" Tommy asked Randall.
"I think 3 days suspension and 2 weeks detention. Oh and Ms. Ford you can not make up any assignments or tests during your suspension." Randall said.
"3 days suspension, that is not fair!" Kira exclaimed jumping up.
"Are you trying to go for a week suspension?" Randall asked.
"No she's not. 3 days it is. Kira let's go." Tommy said angrily.
Kira and Tommy left the office and went to her locker so she can get her books.
"They lied. They attacked me first." Kira told him as they walked.
"Save it. Right now, I don't want to hear it. Get your books." Tommy ordered.
Kira got her books and left with him. In his jeep they drove in silence. Kira didn't understand why he was angry at her.
"Dad, I am sorry about getting suspended." Kira said.
"I know where you got those comments. From Kimberly right, they were the same ones she used when we were in high school." Tommy said not taking his eyes off the road.
"Then why are you angry at me." Kira asked.
Tommy said nothing else until they arrived in his parents' driveway.
"If you were having problems with Trevor and Rick, why didn't you tell anyone? Me or at least the boys, they would have looked out for you." Tommy said.
"I am not helpless; I can take care of myself!" Kira exclaimed.
"You did a real good job of it didn't you. You are suspended, but that is not why I am mad." Tommy said.
"Then why?"
"I am mad; because you thought you could insult and face them alone. We were always right there when Kimberly did it, in case things got ugly it did. Bulk grabbed her, Zack and Jason had to get her back. Things could have gotten ugly and you had no backup. You could have been hurt." Tommy said.
"What are you going to do?" Kira asked knowing that she will probably be punished at home as well as the punishment at school.
"I don't know yet. Just go to your room and stay there until dinner." Tommy said.
Kira got out of the jeep and went inside the house. Tommy still sat in the jeep thinking about how he is going to handle this. He never thought Kira would be the one to give him trouble and even if she did not this much trouble. Tenisha and Tony came out to the car and knocked on the window. Tommy got out of the car.
"I saw Kira stomp upstairs, what happened?" Tony asked.
"She was suspended for insulting and fighting 2 boys that were bugging her." Tommy said.
"She took on two guys at the same time. That's bold even for a Power Ranger." Tenisha said.
Tommy looked at his parents and were shocked that they said that and that they knew.
"Mom, what-" Tommy began.
"Save it. She is a Ranger, so are you now and back then. So were Kimberly, Jason and the others." Tenisha said.
"How did you figure it out?" Tommy asked.
"It became obvious, not to long after we moved here. The Green Ranger lost his powers and all of a sudden you wanted to go to my brother's cabin. You came back and the White Ranger showed up and now everything you wore was white." Tenisha said.
"Mom that could have been a coincidence." Tommy said.
"Was it?" Tony asked.
"No, we were the Rangers." Tommy admitted.
"Why lie about it?" Tony asked.
"We were sworn to secrecy. Plus we didn't want anyone worrying about us. We handled everything we had to." Tommy said hoping that this would be the end of it.
"So Kira took them on huh." Tony said.
"She used the same insults, Kim used on Bulk and Skull back in high school. The boys attacked and Kira shove one of them into the locker just in time for Principal Randall to see. I don't know how to handle this; I mean I was right there with Kim when she was doing it. With Kira though it is different she had no backup because no one knew there was a problem." Tommy said.
"You have to do something. You are the parent here. You can't let her get away with it; if you do she won't learn." Tenisha said.
Jason and Kimberly came home with the girls.
"Daddy, look what we drew in school." Star said as she and Diamond went running to him.
"That is real cute; you know who I think would like that. Trent, why don't you go see if he is home yet." Tommy said giving the girls a kiss.
The girls ran inside.
"Are you okay?" Kim asked.
"Beautiful, Kira got a 3-day suspension for fighting and insulting them. I am just trying to figure out what to do about it." Tommy said.
"She used my comments didn't she? I asked her if there was a problem she said no." Kim told him.
"2 known bullies Trevor and Rick have been in her face. She insulted them, they attacked her and she fought back alone. She thought the insults would make them go away." Tommy explained.
"What are you going to do about it?" Jason asked.
"I don't know; any suggestions." Tommy said.
"You have punished the boys before. What is different about this?" Jason asked.
"Mostly Conner, because he can have an attitude, so I ground him. Occasionally when Ethan forgets to do his homework, I take his computer away. With Kira, I think this has more to do with her not wanting the guys thinking she is helpless in battle." Tommy said.
"You do have to punish her. Just make it whatever you think your parents would do if you were in her spot." Jason told him.
