Chapter 11:

Rocky, Adam, Tommy, Billy and Zack were 'helping' Jason set up for his Bachelor Party that night. Of course helping was a strong word seeing as all Zack and Rocky were doing was arguing over who could throw the best party.

"Leave this to the Zack-man, and you'll have the best experience ever." Zack insisted.

Jason gave his friend an odd look, "Last time you said that we ended up spending the night in jail."

Tommy snorted, "And the time before that we ended up in the middle of the Independence Day Parade."

"Then it looks like the Rock here is here to party." Rocky announced with a silly grin.

Adam shook his head, looking at the others, "Last time you held a party, you got me grounded for a month."

"I was just a kid back then, I won't do anything stupid."

"That was two months ago."Adam pointed out much to the others amusement.

Just then Mr. Scott entered the room, carrying a box of party stuff, "Do I want to know what I just walked into?"

Tommy looked at Mr. Scott and then at his friends, before saying, "Probably not."

Mr. Scott nodded, placing the box down before leaving the room; he knew when he wasn't wanted.

As soon as he left, Billy asked, "So, Adam, when should I plan my next trip to Earth."

The rest of the boys laughed as Adam blushed, "We've talked about marriage and stuff, but she has her music career and I have my gym to worry about. So I haven't popped the question yet. Maybe I can get the gym established enough to leave it with employees for a while."

The others were distracted by Zack who was yelling at Rocky, "You wouldn't know how to have fun if it reared up and bit you on the nose."

Rocky opened his mouth to respond, but Billy beat him to it, "Do I need to remind you what happened last time you decided to throw a party."

Zack smirked, "You have to admit everyone remembers that day quite well."

"It was on every single news station for a month following it." Tommy pointed out.

…Fourth of July 1994, Angel Grove…

The power rangers were huddled around the bar at the Youth center, "So what are we going to do today?" Kim asked, "The Parade and activities at the park don't start until one and it's only ten, we got three hours to kill."

"Follow me," Zack announced, "I can guarantee that you won't forget this day for a long day."

"What merriments do you have designed?" Billy asked.

"Uhh…" Zack said looking at Trini for a translation, "What did he say?"

"What do you have planned?" Trini asked.

Zack glanced around, making sure that no one was in ear shot, and whispered, "I think we should take our new Thunder Zords out for a test run, figure out how they run and such."

Jason leaned forward, "Don't you think that that would break the rule of not using our powers for personal gain?"

Zack shook his head, laughing slightly, "We're 'training,' getting use to the new controls."

Tommy left the group then, followed closely by Kim, "Tommy what's wrong?"

Tommy shrugged his new girlfriend's hand off his shoulder, "You guys get new Zords and I'm stuck with my old DragonZord and failing powers."

"I wish there was something I can do," Kim said, smiling up at Tommy, "I know you can ride in the Firebird with me! You can control the DragonZord from there."

…

Jason smiled, as he transformed his Zord from warrior form to its red dragon form, laughing as Kim had to pull back to avoid him as he took to the sky. "Watch where you're going Jason, you nearly knocked Tommy and me out of the sky!"

"If you won't so distracted by kissing Tommy, we wouldn't have nearly crashed." Jason responded through their intercoms.

"You leave me out of this!" Tommy snapped from his place behind Kim. Just then a glob of mud flew through the sky and landed on Kim's Firebird.

"Zachary Taylor, you did not just throw mud at my Firebird, did you?"

"Negative, I'm afraid that that gobbet of muck projectile that insulted your Zord came from the Unicorn liberating itself from the sludge from the previous night's cloudburst." Billy stated.

"Trini, translation please," Kim whined.

"Basically he said, 'My bad,' this terrain we're covering is extremely muddy." Trini explained, as she growled when her Zord got stuck again, "You and Jason are lucky, you don't have to drive through the mud, grr…I'm stuck again."

Zack quickly approached Trini's Zord, only to get stuck himself. "Great, just great, I'm stuck too."

"Let's see if I can liberate the two of you." Billy stated, maneuvering the Unicorn Zord back into the mud.

"Should I call DragonZord?" Tommy asked as Billy's Zord got stuck as well. As if in response all three of the ground based Zords spewed up a wall of mud, coating the air based Zords with sludge, as they tried to escape their sticky situation.

"All this mud is going to ruin my outfit, I just know it." Kim moaned as she applied the windshield wipers to wipe off the mud on the windows of the firebird.

"Um… Kim," Tommy began, "You're morphed, and your outfit is stain proof."

It took both Tommy's DragonZord and Jason's red Dragon Thunder Zord to free the other Zords from the mud, and by the time they were all free, all the Zords, even Kim's, were coated with mud.

Jason looked at the disaster that all six Zords were in, "How are we going to cover the fact that we went Joyriding, if our Zords are covered in mud?"

"We wash them off, duh," Zack announced, his eyes sparkling with amusement behind his helmet, "We all have stuff to wash cars with at home right?"

"Informative," Billy stated, "However, none of our driveways a big enough to fit the Zords and even if we could it would raise suspicion on why we are doing it there. We will need to find a public place with plenty of room for the zords."

"How about the Youth Center, the parking lot should be big enough." Tommy suggested, "But I do have one more problem, my powers, I need to conserve what I have for battles."

Zack smirked, "I have an idea."

…

Ernie came out of the Youth Center to see a strange sight, Jason and his friends washing the Zords in the parking lot, they weren't even morphed.

"What's going on here guys?" Ernie asked.

"We took the Power Rangers' Zords joyriding and figured that we better clean them up before they find out." Zack stated, carefully hosing down his lion zord.

"You stole the Rangers' Zords, isn't that dangerous, what if there was an attack?" Ernie asked.

"The probability of there being an attack this morning is highly unlikely, there was an attack yesterday and if Lord Zedd does want to cause trouble today it would be during the festivities." Billy explained.

Ernie nodded, shaking his head, their excuse was very shaky, but with the news reporters covering the set up for the Independence Day Festival at the park, he was certain it would hold, if not, he'll come out and save them. He just needed to come up with a good cover up that the rangers would catch on to.

No sooner had he left then Kim declared, "No way am I helping, I just got my nails done yesterday."

Tommy rolled his eyes, flinging a wet rag over to Kim. Kim squealed and ducked out of the way, avoiding the wet projectile which hit Jason instead. Soon the friends were throwing wet rags around, and somehow managing to clean the Zords while attacking each other.

By the time that the Zords were clean the teens were soaking wet, mainly because Zack had turned the hose on the others. "Whew," Tommy said, sitting down on top of his DragonZord foot. "We better head back to the command center, but we have to hurry if we want to meet up with our families before they realize that we are missing."

Zack smirked, "Leave it to me, I know a short cut." He jumped up, morphing, and climbing into his Lion thunder zord.

"I have a feeling that I'm going to regret this," Tommy muttered to Kim as he climbs into his zord.

Jason smirked, "This better work, Zack, or you'll be cleaning the zords for a month."

It wasn't until they reached the police barricade for the parade did they noticed that they would have to cross the parade route, and would most likely get caught in the Parade.

…Jason's Parent's house, Present Day…

"Needless to say, we never listened to Zack's crazy plans after that one." Tommy concluded.

Billy laughed, "I seem to recall you enjoyed it a little too much."

…Independence Day Parade 1994…

Tommy was standing on top of the DragonZord, playing his flute to cause the DragonZord to dance, although the only dance he was able to do was the robot. Zack had set his Zord to autopilot so he could stand on top of it and toss out candy, revealing the fact that he had planned it that way all along.

Jason, must to the others amusement, produced a stack of autographed photos of the red ranger and started to pass them out, much to the joy of all the kids. Billy, not wanting to be left out, grabbed the first thing he had available, a stack of different owner manuals and instruction books.

"You are not seriously passing out instruction manuals, are you Billy?" Trini demanded as she started passing out Granola bars, which she just happened to have bought in bulk.

"It's what I had on hand." Billy explained.

Kim did a loop-de-loop and flew her zord closer to the others, "Anyone concerned on what Zordon's reaction to this is going to be?"

"What's wrong, Pink, don't you have something to hand out?" Zack asked, only to get nailed in the head with an apple.

"I have apples." Kim replied, bouncing another one in her hand as she fixed Zack with a stare.

"Suddenly I'm glad I have a helmet on." Zack announced.

Tommy laughed as his DragonZord danced down the street. Bulk and Skull tried to get close enough to unmask them, but Kim nailed them both with apples. Trini finally convinced Billy that instruction manuals might not be the best thing to pass out. In which Billy responded, "I guess I could pass out my comic books, but they not nearly as intriguing."

All the other power rangers' face palmed at that statement, and face palmed again when Kim knocked out another news reporter that had gotten too close. "An apple a day keeps everyone away if you throw it hard enough."

…Jason's Parent's House, Present…

"I was so glad that I had my helmet on that day." Jason stated, "She was on automatic, get too close and you got an apple to the head."

Just then Mr. Scott stuck his head in the room, "Should I be concerned about the bombs Rocky and Zack are building in the backyard."

Jason looked over at Tommy, "Tommy's here with us, so I don't think they are planning to blow the house up."

"I blew up one old homestead that was on the verge of falling down anyways, and suddenly I can't be trusted with bombs, jeesh."

Mr. Scott gave Tommy a sideways glance, before slowly backing away, when one of his son's friends say something like that, made him wonder what kind of friends his son had.

The rangers all raced outside to discover Zack and Rocky building Confetti Bombs together. "Trust me," Rocky was telling Zack, "these will get the party going."

"I'm still cleaning my apartment up from the last time Rocky made Confetti bombs." Adam murmured to the others, shuddering slightly at the thought.

"Maybe we should bow out, before those two get us arrested." Billy whispered, nodding to how Zack was talking about his epic stereo, and Rocky was listing food items. If they kept this up they would probably get shut down by the police before the party was over.

"Did Rocky just say Ape," Jason asked, leaning forward towards the two conspiring friends, "I can't have Balbir running all over the place."

Tommy cleared his throat, "Let's find the girls and seek shelter, this is going to be a stormy night."
