Theo went to the freezer and took out a packet of frozen peas. He then sat down on the nearest chair and held the packet of frozen peas to the back of his head, where he had been hit earlier that day.

'Theo, wouldn't it be easier to get a bag of ice?' Casey asked his friend.

'Yes, but there is no ice in the freezer and freezing some ice would take too long so I'm using the next best thing, frozen peas.' Theo answered.

'We could freeze some ice by putting some warm water in the ice trays.' RJ said. He then opened the freezer door, looked inside and then shut the freezer door. 'On second thoughts, frozen peas are perfect because we don't seem to have any ice trays in the freezer. We also don't have any ice cream.'

'It's ok RJ,' Lily said, 'I'll go to the shops and buy some ice trays and ice cream tomorrow morning.'

'And some vegetables, ham, chocolate bars and some of those really nice chocolate chip cookies.' RJ said while looking at the contents in the fridge.

'Tell you what RJ, you make a list of what we need to stock up and me and Lily will go and buy the stuff tomorrow morning,' Casey said, 'what do you think Lil, is that ok with you?'

'Yes, I'm sure that RJ will come up with a long shopping list now that he's started to check the contents of the fridge freezer,' Lily chuckled as she walked over to the sofa. Casey put his arm around her shoulders as he joined her on the sofa.

'Yes, you are right and I am going to write this list now before I forget,' RJ said, 'now, why can't I ever find some paper and a pen when I need them the most?' RJ walked downstairs to the restaurant in search of a pen and some paper.

Meanwhile, Theo had been listening to the whole conversation with a look of bewilderment on his face. 'Are you guys joking?'

'No, what makes you think that Theo?' Casey asks.

'Because the only thing that you guys can think about is shopping while Fran is still out there with some psycho family!' Theo yells at Casey. Lily looked to the floor. RJ returned, clutching a pad of paper in his left hand and a pen in his right hand. He looked up and saw Theo glaring at Casey and Theo.

'Why are you looking so angry Theo? We can't make a move in finding Fran until the Ramparks do because we don't know who they. We don't even know if the Ramparks took her.' RJ said.

'They did,' Theo countered.

'Did you see their faces?' RJ asked.

Theo looked at the floor and replied, 'no'.

'Besides, they may not have killed Fran yet. They may, if they are in a good mood, want to trade Fran with Lily. If that is the case, then it is completely up to Lily on what she thinks is the right thing to do.' RJ said.

The alarm went of and everyone crowded around RJ's monitors. RJ sat in his chair and flicked through the channels until he came to a picture of a square in Ocean Bluff. It was being attacked by two large, pale yellow cheetahs. 'I guess you'll have to make that decision sooner than you thought Lily. Good look rangers, and remember, you're a team, so work together,' he directed the last part at Theo.

Afterwards, the three Jungle Fury Power Rangers took hold of the vines and swung through the holes in the attic, morphing as they went, to go and face the new threat as well as the biggest decision that Lily had to make in her life so far.

I know the chapters are short but this seems like a good place to leave it at the moment. And please, do review. Each review makes me feel happy about the fact that people like my story.
