Okay for those of you who have been reading this you may notice that most of this is very familiar. There is a good reason for that... it has already been posted once, only we apparently had a computer malfunction and a chunk vanished, (I blame hazergirl1220 or Timmy the resident little dwarf in our apartment he likes hiding all our stuff it wouldn't surprise me if he moved on to technology). So, here is the chapter again only with a rewritten beginning! (This might also explain why suddenly Leo is no longer in the story, Oops.) :) Enjoy!


"That was really good pizza," Wes said.

After Jason had managed to calm Trini down, she had ordered pizza for everyone. Now that everyone was done eating, the group gathered back into the living room. Tommy grabbed a seat in one of the reclining chairs while the rest of the group made themselves comfortable on the rest of the furniture or on the floor. Leo didn't sit right away, looking around the room.

"So, I don't mean to rush out or anything," he said. "But I really don't want Andros and the others going too far without me…"

Shifting in the recliner, Tommy reached into his pocket and pulled out his phone. He tossed it to Leo, who caught it.

"TJ's number is on there," he said. "Call and tell them they forgot you."

"Thanks," Leo said.

It was silent for a moment as he waited for TJ to answer.

"Hey, TJ," Leo said. "No, it's Leo…Yeah. You guys kind of left me stranded here…Yes, that would be nic—"

Leo suddenly disappeared in a flash of light. Tommy sighed, shaking his head.

"And there goes my phone," he muttered.

"Guess you're getting a new one," Zach laughed.

"Nah," Tommy said, leaning back in the chair. "They'll bring it back. Or at least TJ will."

Jason frowned, glancing over at him.

"Why would TJ have to come back?" he asked.

Tommy didn't answer. Instead, he reached into his other pocket and pulled out a set of car keys, holding them up. The rangers stared at them for a moment and then, once they realized what they were, everyone burst out laughing.

"Oh, he'll be back alright," Zach grinned.

"Yep," Tommy said, sticking the keys back in his pocket. "Anyways, thanks for dinner, Trini. It was great."

"We were supposed to have spaghetti," Trini sighed. "But considering everything that happened—I'll save it for another night."

Rocky suddenly sat up straight from where he was lounging on the floor.

"Honey," he said, putting a hand on Aisha's arm. "I learned what basil is today."

"That's nice, dear," Aisha said, looking over at Trini in confusion.

Trini just shrugged, shaking her head. She glanced over at Tommy, who was leaning back in the recliner.

"Tommy, are you sure you got enough to eat?" Trini asked. "You said it was great, but you didn't have any pizza."

"I'm good, Trini," he said, closing his eyes. "I had a protein shake."

Trini frowned in concern.

"Don't worry about it, Trini," Hayley said. "He doesn't eat much of anything these days. His dietary restrictions make it difficult."

"Hmm…" Trini said. "We'll have to talk about that at some point. I want to make sure he's able to eat while he's here."

Hayley smiled.

"That's ok," she said. "He always has something in his bag, just in case. No need to plan everything around his diet. We'd all be drinking protein shakes."

"So what are the restrictions?" Carter asked.

Tommy sighed. Hayley just shook her head, answering for him.

"Well," she said. "He's fine with protein. Lots of protein. But he has to limit his potassium intake by a lot. He can have some carbs and has to watch how much water he's drinking, since he can't drink too much. Oh. And no alcohol. Period."

"Aww, man," Zach said. "No alcohol? That stinks."

"I'm actually ok with it," Tommy said. "I don't trust her."

He pointed at Hayley, who rolled her eyes.

"That was one time," she said. "And it was before all of this started. It's not my fault you decided to let someone cut your hair."

"What?" Rocky exclaimed. "I gotta hear this one."

Tommy threw a pillow at Hayley, his eyes still closed. It hit her in the head and she turned to glare at him.

"Not a word," Tommy said.

"Mmm hmmm," she said. "It was your own fault."

"Anyways," Tommy said. "I don't miss the alcohol. And I make do with the rest."

"Why can't you have water?" Wes asked.

Tommy shifted in the chair, making himself more comfortable.

"Can't filter it properly," he said. "And I can have some. Just not a lot. I have to be careful."

"So, is all this the reason we never really saw you eating on the ship?" Leo asked. "Cause you really didn't eat the whole way back."

"Yeah…" Tommy said.

"Wait a minute!" Rocky said, interrupting. "I meant to ask earlier. Why wasn't I invited on the mission?"

Tommy groaned.

"I called you," he said. "You didn't answer. Or call me back. And we couldn't wait for you forever."

Rocky frowned. Aisha sighed and rolled her eyes.

"Honey, did you ever replace your phone?" she asked. "You know, after you dropped it in the toilet?"

Everyone burst out laughing and Rocky's face turned red.

"This morning," he protested, and then realized what that mean. "Oh…"

"How did you manage that, man?" Zach asked, trying not to choke while he spoke.

"I was cleaning it," Rocky mumbled.

"The toilet or your phone?" asked Jason.

"The toilet!" Rocky snapped, glaring at Jason.

"You mean you were actually doing chores?" Zach laughed.

Rocky turned his glare on Zach.

"Yes!" he said. "I was cleaning the toilet and the phone rang. So I pulled it out to answer and dropped it."

There was a pause as something dawned on Rocky.

"Actually," he said slowly, sighing. "That was probably you calling me…"

The group started laughing even harder.

"So you literally threw the mission down the toilet," Zach snorted, nearly falling off the couch.

"Good to know," Tommy said. "I see what a phone call from me gets. Good to know how you feel about me, Rocky."

"Tommy…" Rocky said.

Tommy just laughed, shaking his head. Cole looked around, frowning.

"Wait a minute," he said. "Why would you get an invite anyways? The mission was just for reds."

Rocky turned and glared at Cole.

"I am a red!" he exclaimed. "I was red first—well, second in the line-up. But it was my first color!"

Cole looked at him in confusion.

"Wait, what?" he said.

"He took over after Jason," Tommy said, still leaning back with his eyes closed. "He was red under me while I was white, and then became the blue ranger when we got the Zeo powers."

"But I thought reds were always the leaders," Wes said, frowning.

Jason shook his head.

"Tommy is special," he said with a smirk.

"Hey!" Tommy exclaimed, sitting up and glaring at Jason.

"What?" Jason said. "I mean that in the best way."

"Uh-huh," Tommy said, leaning back again. "Sure you do, Jase."

Jason grinned.

"You were a white ranger?" Cole asked, looking at Tommy in surprise.

"Yes…" Tommy said, raising an eyebrow.

Jason snorted, shaking his head.

"He was white twice," he said. "You've got to pay more attention rookie."

"So you were two colors?" Cole exclaimed.

The rest of the rangers started laughing.

"What?" Cole said, even more confused.

"Tommy's been three colors," Zach snorted.

Cole looked around in surprise and confusion.

"And how many powers?" Adam asked.

Tommy sighed, frowning.

"Well, let's see," he said, pausing to think. "One, two—no—two, three, four…five. Five. Right?"

He looked over at Hayley for confirmation. Hayley rolled her eyes and nodded.

"Yes," Tommy said. "Five."

"There's a reason TJ called him a legend," Wes said. "You really gotta brush up on your ranger history."

"He's one of the original six," Carter added.

Cole started shaking his head, still not putting two and two together.

"But there wasn't a white ranger on the original team," he protested. "And Jason was red."

Tommy groaned, closing his eyes again.

"White wasn't Tommy's original color," Billy said.

"I'm confused," Cole muttered, shaking his head.

The other rangers exchanged looks and shrugged. Trini sighed.

"Alright, time for a history lesson," Trini said. "So let's start from the beginning. The original six, or the first Mighty Morphin' team, were Jason, Tommy, Zach, Billy, Kim, and myself. Tommy was green. Ok?"

Cole nodded.

"Second Mighty Morphin' team," Trini continued. "Tommy, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Billy, and Kim. Tommy was white. Still on the same page?"

He nodded again. Some of the other rangers snickered, shaking their heads at him.

"Then was the ninjetti team," said Trini. "Same people, different powers. Except that's where Kat comes in. She took over for Kim at that point. After that they gained their Zeo power and Billy became their tech. And this is where it gets confusing, because everyone starts switching colors. Tommy becomes red, Adam is green, Rocky is blue, Kat is pink, and Tanya takes Aisha's place as yellow. Got it?"

Cole just stared.

"Wait a minute!" Jason said. "I was there too."

"Yes," Trini said. "Jason came back for a little while as the gold ranger."

"Thanks, honey," Jason grumbled.

"Yeah," Rocky said. "And he didn't tell us it was killing him."

Jason glared at him.

"Yeah, yeah," Jason said. "But you guys needed my help."

"We still need help," Tommy muttered.

"Look who's talking, bro," Jason shot back.

Tommy shrugged, his eyes closed again.

"I'm not denying anything," he said.

Billy frowned, looking at Jason and then at Tommy.

"You know, Jason," Billy said. "Perhaps we should run a scan to make sure your body is functioning correctly. Especially now that we know what happened to Tommy."

"No, Billy," Jason said, shaking his head. "I'm fi—"

"I think that's a great idea!" Trini interrupted.

"Trini," Jason groaned. "I don't need a scan. It's been years since then and I've had no problems. I'm fine."

Tommy snorted. Jason glared at him.

"You be quiet," Jason said. "Trini wouldn't even know if you hadn't opened your big fat mouth."

Tommy looked at Jason, raising an eyebrow.

"Well forgive me," he said. "It was at your engagement party. I would have thought you'd have told her by then. Apparently I was wrong."

"You have no idea," Jason muttered. "She didn't talk to me for the next week! And if we hadn't been engaged already I don't know if she would ever have spoken to me again."

Trini smirked.

"Guess it's a good thing you picked a beautiful ring," she said.

"See, Jase," Tommy said. "I told you the other one was too gaudy."

Trini whipped around to glare at Jason again.

"Tommy picked out my ring?" she exclaimed.

"What?" Jason said. "No!"

Tommy started laughing.

"Don't worry, Trini," he said. "Jason picked out the ring. It's just fun seeing the look on his face."

Jason glared at Tommy. Trini frowned, looking over at Tommy.

"It's true," Tommy said. "I was just the driver."

"Hey!" Rocky said. "Why wasn't I invited?"

Tommy shook his head.

"Rocky," he said. "I'm pretty sure you would have been bored out of your mind. We went to at least six different stores."

"Oh," Rocky said. "Thanks for not calling."

"Not a problem," Tommy said. "I think I went through two tanks of gas driving around in circles. Jason couldn't make up his mind about which one was good enough."

"I paid you back," Jason muttered.

Tommy just shook his head, closing his eyes again. Trini smiled at Jason.

"Really?" she asked. "You spent that much time on it?"

Jason shrugged, his face turning red.

"Yeah," he said. "I wanted it to be the right one."

Still smiling, Trini leaned over and gave him a kiss.

"Hey!" Cole interrupted. "What about the colors?"

Trini turned to look at Cole.

"Oh right!" she exclaimed. "Sorry, we get distracted sometimes."

Taking a breath, she got settled back in her seat to finish the history lesson.

"Finally, the Zeo team shifted up into turbo," she said. "Except for Rocky, who did something stupid and hurt himself."

Rocky frowned.

"Hey!" he exclaimed. "It wasn't my fault."

"Uh-huh," Trini said, raising an eyebrow. "Sure, Rocky."

"It wasn't!" Rocky protested.

"Anyways," Trini said. "Justin replaced Rocky. After a while, Tommy, Adam, Kat, and Tanya chose replacements, who later became the space ranger team. And thus ends Tommy's long history as a ranger. Quite a few of us have actually changed colors at least once. Except the girls."

"That's because we're perfect the way we are," Kim said. "We didn't need to change."

"Hey!" the guys exclaimed.

The girls laughed.

"I should probably be offended by that," Tommy grumbled. "But I'm too tired right now. Hayley, be offended for me."

Hayley shook her head, rolling her eyes.

"Sure, Tommy," she said. "Now go to sleep."

"I'm trying," he mumbled.

Trini looked over at Cole, who was still frowning.

"Do you understand now?" she asked.

He shook his head. Trini sighed.

"I am not explaining it all again," she said.

"You're on your own, rookie," Jason said.

"Perhaps a diagram would help?" Billy suggested. "Trini, do you have pen and paper?"

"Sure!" Trini said, hopping up.

She hurried out of the room, coming back with a notepad and a pen. Trini handed them to Billy. As she was sitting back down, Cole suddenly leapt up from his seat and took a defensive stance facing Tommy.

"He's an evil ranger!" Cole yelled.

The other rangers and Hayley stared at Cole in confusion.

"What?" Adam said.

"The first green ranger was evil!" Cole said. "Tommy was the first green ranger."

There was a collective sigh around the room.

"He's not evil," Zach said. "Well, he was. But he isn't anymore. We broke him out of it when Jason destroyed the sword. And that was the last time—wait. Jason told me about the time with the machine… That was during—umm… When was the last time you were evil?"

Zach looked at Tommy expectantly.

"During Zeo," he mumbled.

"Right," Zach said. "So he's good now."

"But how can you be sure?" Cole asked.

He was still holding his defensive stance, looking at Tommy suspiciously. Tommy groaned.

"Yes, Cole," he said. "I'm evil. Fear me."

Tommy let out an evil laugh, the same one he had used when under Rita's spell. The other five original rangers jerked, their eyes widening. Cole's face went white and he tensed up. Tommy started laughing harder, normally this time.

"Not cool, man!" Zach said. "How many times do we have to tell you not to do that? It's creepy."

"Sorry," Tommy laughed. "It's just too hard to resist. I'm gonna have to do that more."

Sighing, Hayley rolled her eyes.

"Tommy, go to sleep," she said.

"Yeah, yeah, yeah," he muttered. "Working on it."

Cole looked around the room, frowning.

"But—" he started to protest.

Eric grabbed the back of Cole's shirt.

"Sit down and shut up," he said, pulling Cole down.

Billy handed the complete diagram to Cole.

"Is this helpful?" Billy asked.

Cole frowned, studying the paper.

"I think so," he said. "But what is this line?"

"Oh," Billy said. "That was Tommy's fault. His—laugh—startled me."

Tommy let out another evil laugh and the originals jumped again. They all turned to glare at him. Grabbing a pillow, Trini whipped it at his head. Tommy caught it, laughing even harder.

"Yeah," he laughed. "Definitely need to do that more often."

"That really is creepy," Rocky said, frowning.

"You have no idea," Jason said. "You weren't there when he was actually evil and laughing like that. It was bad."

Hayley sighed.

"That's it," she said. "He's obviously not getting any sleep down here. Tommy—bed. Trini, where is he sleeping?"

Tommy groaned.

"Oh," Trini said. "He can sleep in the upstairs guest room. It's all set."

Hayley nodded.

"You heard her," Hayley said, looking at Tommy.

He sighed and sat up.

"Hayley, I'm fine," he said.

"I don't know, man," Rocky grinned. "Does he snore?"

"How would I know?" Hayley asked. "He has his own room and if he does snore it isn't loud enough to wake me up."

"Nothing is loud enough to wake you up," Tommy said. "But for your information, Rocky, I don't snore."

Some of the rangers looked over at Tommy and Hayley in surprise.

"Wait a minute," Rocky exclaimed. "You live with a girl?"

Tommy groaned, falling back in the chair again.

"Didn't we do this once already?" he muttered.

"Yeah," Zach said. "But none of them were in the room."

"Wow, Tommy," Kim said. "I never would have expected that."

He sighed, shaking his head.

"Yes," Tommy said. "We're roommates. Who did you think she was when she got here?"

The rangers exchanged glances.

"Well," Rocky said. "I thought maybe she was your cousin or something."

Hayley frowned, looking at Rocky.

"Why would he bring a cousin to a ranger gathering?" she asked.

Rocky shrugged.

"I don't know," he said. "Close relationship?"

"Wow," Tommy said. "You went in a completely different direction than I thought you would with that."

"But why would you bring your roommate?" Adam asked.

"Because she would kill me if I didn't," Tommy said simply. "She's known for years, so it's not like I was blowing any big secret."

"Wait a minute," Tanya said. "How did—"

Hayley held up a hand, stopping Tanya.

"I explain that again in a moment," Hayley said. "Tommy. Bed."

"Hayley," Tommy groaned, sitting back up again. "I'm fine."

She just picked up his bag and dropped it on his lap.

"Nope," Hayley said. "Here's your bag. Bedtime. Go."

"You're not my mother," Tommy said.

Hayley smirked, pulling out her phone and started to dial. Tommy frowned.

"What are you doing?" he asked.

"Calling your mother," Hayley said, pausing before she hit send.

Tommy groaned, but stood up.

"Fine," he muttered.

"Nice trick!" Rocky exclaimed, pulling out his own phone. "Can I have that number?"

"Shouldn't you already have that number?" Adam asked.

"I dropped my phone in the toilet, remember?" Rocky snapped.

Shaking his head as he walked by, Tommy snatched the phone out of Rocky's hand.

"Thanks," he said. "I needed an alarm clock. Leo took mine."

He continued out of the room and up the stairs while Rocky just stared after him.

"I just got that this morning," Rocky muttered, looking down at his empty hand.

"Guess you won't be too attached to it then," Zach laughed.

Rocky glared at him.

"Why is Tommy going to bed so early anyways?" Kim asked. "It's only 9pm."

"Because he needs the sleep," Hayley answered. "Especially after dialysis last night. He'll be better tomorrow."

Cole, who was still staring at the diagram, looked up at Billy.

"Billy," he said. "I think you made a mistake."

Billy frowned, leaning over to look.

"Where?" he asked.

"Here," Cole said, pointing. "You have Tommy as the green ranger twice."

"That's correct," Billy said.

"But he said he only had five powers," said Cole.

Jason sighed, shaking his head.

"He had the green ranger power twice," Jason said. "He had it the first time and lost it after the green—anyways, he lost it. Then Zordon gave it back to him for a while before he lost it for good. After that Zordon brought him back as the white ranger. Without telling anyone. Don't ask, still a bit of a sore spot."

"But seeing Kim pass out was still hilarious," Zach laughed.

"Hey!" Kim exclaimed, hitting Zach in the head with a pillow.

He just laughed harder.

"So worth it," he said.

Cole frowned.

"You guys keep talking about what a legend Tommy is," Cole said. "But if he's such a legendary ranger, why can't he fight?"

The other rangers and Hayley stared at Cole for a moment and then burst out laughing.

"You're kidding, right?" Zach said. "Tommy is a third de—"

"Fifth degree," Hayley interrupted, holding up a hand.

"Oh, ok," Zach said. "He's a fifth degree black belt in karate. Tommy could wipe the floor with any of us if he wanted to."

Cole frowned again.

"Then why did he do so badly in the sparring match this morning?" he scoffed. "Jason took him down without breaking a sweat."

Hayley turned to glare at Jason.

"What?" she exclaimed. "Why was he sparring this morning? He just had dialysis last night!"

Jason ducked his head.

"That's my bad," he said. "I kind of pushed him into it."

Hayley's eyes narrowed.

"Hey!" Jason said, putting his hands up. "In my defense, I had no idea about anything this morning."

"Lucky for you," Hayley said. "Or you'd be dead."

Looking around the room, Trini took a deep breath.

"Alright," she said. "I think it's time to start winding down. It's been a long day for all of us. So why don't we figure out where everyone is sleeping?"

The others nodded in agreement, turning to look at Trini. She frowned, looking around the room, muttering a count under her breath.

"Umm… Well," she said. "I guess the girls can take the other guest room. There's a king size bed in there and I have a blow up mattress. It'll be a little tight with five of you, but—"

"That's alright, Trini," Hayley said, holding up a hand and standing up. "I'll just head back over to the Olivers' house."

"Are you sure?" Trini asked. "I don't want you to feel like I'm kicking you out."

Hayley smiled, shaking her head.

"It's fine," she said. "Mrs. Oliver loves me. She'll be glad to have me for the night. I'll let her know Tommy fell asleep over here and I'll be back first thing in the morning."

"We'll see you in the morning then," Trini said, smiling.

Hayley nodded and head out of the room toward the front door. They heard the door open and close.

"Anyways," Trini said. "Kat, Kim, Aisha, and Tanya. Will you four be alright in the other guest room?"

"We'll be fine," Kim said. "None of us take up much space."

Trini turned to look at Jason.

"Honey, will you go grab the blow-up mattress and get it ready for them?" she asked.

Jason nodded and headed out of the room as the four girls grabbed their things and headed for the stairs.

"I'll grab pillows and blankets, too," he said. "The guys are gonna want them."

Trini nodded as he left the living room. She turned back to the rest of the group.

"Alright," she said. "There is a couch in the basement and a couple of recliners. The couch folds out into a bed."

"We'll take the basement," Zach said.

Rocky, Adam, and Billy nodded in agreement. They all grabbed their bags and headed toward the basement stairs.

"Adam and I can take the couch," Rocky said.

"Fine with me," Adam said.

Rocky grinned, looking over at Adam.

"And if it gets too cold we can spoon," Rocky said. "Right, Adam?"

Adam glared at Rocky.

"You leave your side of the bed and you're gonna find yourself on the floor," Adam growled.

"Aww… Come on, man," Rocky said. "We've done it before when we were camping."

Adam stopped and whirled around to face him.

"That was one time!" he snapped. "And it wouldn't have happened if you hadn't left your sleeping bag out in the rain. You're lucky I let you. So NEVER bring it up again."

Zach started laughing hysterically, nearly falling over as he opened the door to the basement. Billy started laughing, too.

"Shut up, Zach," Adam growled. "Get down the stairs before I push you down."

"I'm going," Zach sputtered, still laughing. "I'm going."

He finally got the door open and headed down the stairs. Rocky, Adam, and Billy followed behind. Trini sighed, shaking her head.

"I swear," she muttered. "They're never going to grow up. Anyways, that means you four get the living room. Unfortunately, this couch doesn't turn into a bed, so one of you will have to use the floor. I'll make sure Jason brings some extra bedding though."

"Thanks, Trini," Carter said.

She smiled and hurried out of the room to help Jason. The four red rangers looked at each other for a moment.

"I'll take the couch!" Cole said.

He sat down, but Eric reached over and pushed him off onto the floor. Eric plopped down on the couch and stretched out. Cole looked around in surprise.

"I've got a recliner," Wes said, sitting down in the chair Tommy had vacated.

Grumbling, Cole hopped up from the floor.

"I'll take the other one," he said, turning around.

He stopped. Carter was already in the other recliner.

"Wait a minute," Cole protested. "Why am I the one on the floor?"

"Because you're the newbie," Eric said, his eyes closed.

"Besides," Wes said. "You lived in the jungle for a while, didn't you? The floor and a pile of blankets should be just fine."

Cole glared at him. Trini walked back in the room followed by Jason. They were both carrying a pile of blankets and pillows.

"Well, Tommy's already out cold," Jason said. "Don't need to worry about sharing with him."

Trini set down her pile on the floor next to the couch while Jason headed toward the basement.

"Here you go," she said. "There should be enough there for everyone. Plus some extra for whoever is sleeping on the floor."

"Thank you," Carter said.

Nodding, Trini headed toward the basement after Jason. Eric grabbed the pile of bedding and started passing it out. He handed Carter a pillow and blanket and then turned to toss Wes his. The pillow hit Wes in the face, but Eric had already turned to give the rest to Cole, leaving a blanket and pillow for himself.

"Hey!" Wes exclaimed.

Wes whacked Eric in the back of the head with his pillow. Eric turned around, glaring at Wes. Cole started laughing.

"Oh, you think that's funny?" Wes asked.

He chucked his pillow, smacking Cole right in the face. Cole staggered backward in surprise, falling down. Leaping right back up, Cole grabbed another pillow and swung it at Wes, who was standing by the couch. But Wes ducked out of the way and Cole hit Eric. The other ranger growled and grabbed his own pillow. Soon, the three of them were involved in an all out pillow fight. Carter stayed in the recliner, occasionally ducking when a pillow flew his way. The basement door opened and Jason came walking upstairs. Seeing the pillow fight, he paused.

"I'm not even going to go there," he muttered, shaking his head.

Turning away, Jason headed upstairs. A moment later, the door opened again and Trini walked upstairs. She paused at the top of the stairs, still looking down in the basement.

"Rocky! Adam!" she yelled. "Knock it off! And Zach, stop laughing! You're only encouraging them. If you guys don't shut up and go to sleep you're going to be spending the night in the backyard. No tent. No blankets. No anything. And the sprinklers turn on at three."

There was silence from the basement. Trini nodded in satisfaction and turned around. The four rangers in the living room were staring at her. Carter was still in the recliner, but the other three were frozen in the middle of their pillow fight. Trini groaned.

"Are all of the men in this house five?" she exclaimed, marching toward them. "It is time for bed!"

"I'm sorry," Carter said. "But I would like to point out that I had nothing to do with this."

"I know, Carter," Trini sighed. "You're fine. But you three, on the other hand."

Trini turned to glare at the other three rangers. Wes dropped his pillow, staring at Trini wide-eyed.

"Wes started it," Eric muttered, grabbing his pillow and blanket.

He dropped back down on the couch, wrapped himself in the blanket and closed his eyes.

"Hey!" Wes exclaimed.

"Lay down, Wesley," Trini ordered. "Don't make me act like your mother."

"Geez," Wes grumbled, grabbing his bedding and curling up in the chair. "No need to be so snippy."

Trini just glared. Wes stopped muttering and pulled his blanket up over his head. Turning back around, Trini crossed her arms in front of her and looked at Cole expectantly. His eyes grew wide and he dropped to the floor, clutching his blankets and pillows.

"That's what I thought," Trini said. "Now don't make me come back down here. Good night."

Taking a deep breath, Trini turned away and headed upstairs to her bedroom. She paused at the bottom of the stairs to turn the lights off. Once Trini was gone, Cole scooted to the corner of the room by the basement door and made a nest out of the blankets. Making himself comfortable, he wrapped himself up and lay down to sleep.
