Part 1 of The Wedding Trilogy! In case you don't know, because I don't say anything about what really is happening, Rita has returned and she has Finster make her beautiful and a love potion for Zedd to fall in love with her.

I don't own Power Rangers!

It's been a couple of weeks since the PhotoMare and Rock of Time incident and not much has been happening in the way of Lord Zedd's monsters. Zordon was telling us about how Zedd was going to be preparing to take his 100 year recharge. Basically, it's that every hundred years, for a few days, Zedd will be sleeping, recharging his evil. So there wasn't really much attacks, which was good, especially given the situation or school put us in that afternoon during our final class.

Mr. Kaplan, the principal of the school, came into our classroom, having a special announcement to make. He stood in the front, with his arms behind his back and he had a big smile on his face. I liked Mr. Kaplan, and I think he likes me. He never once has yelled at me or any of my friends, saying we were really good students.

Anyway, he started speaking, "Class, I'm pleased and proud to announce that Angel Grove High has been picked as Teen Exchange Speakers to represent the United States in Australia." He said, looking really happy for his school. The class clapped in excitement, especially me. I had a very big connection with the country/continent.

Apparently this thing in Australia meant that the whole class was going to go. So, with my mother's permission and my stuff all packed, I went with the gang to the train station. Ernie drove us, which was very nice of him. He turned to us before he left. We were just waiting by a bench on the platform. "You guys all set to go?" He asked us.

I nodded from my seat on the ground, leaning against a pillar and Rocky's legs. Hey, don't judge me. He has very comfortable legs. The rest of the gang nodded and made sounds of agreement. Ernie looked at his watch, "The train will be here soon to take you all to the airport." He then leaned forward "Do me a favor. Keep an eye on Bulk and Skull and don't forget to send me a postcard from Australia!" he announced.

We laughed, nodding. He left us, after saying goodbye one last time. Rocky turned to the group, "Wow, this is so cool!" He said, making me roll my eyes. Cool was an understatement.

Adam nodded, "I know, a trip to Australia!" He noted. Well, at least we know Adam's been paying attention to the last couple of days. Good to have you onboard buddy! I thought, sarcastically.

Billy spoke up from his seat next to Kimberly on the bench. "Yeah, I'm just glad Zordon informed us that our trip's coinciding Lord Zedd's 100 year recharge." He noted. I nodded, raising my head, "Amen to that!" I announced, making everyone laugh.

Tommy nodded, "Too bad he couldn't stay asleep for 100 years." He joked, making us all nod.

"At least we know there won't be any trouble while we're gone." Aisha said.

Kim looked forward, at nothing, "I just hope nothing interferes with my shopping because I hear the stores are really incredible."

I rolled my eyes, "Of course, it's always about the shopping." I muttered, looking at her with amusement. She glared at me. "Okay Mr. Wiseguy, what are you most excited about?" She retaliated.

I laughed, "That's easy. I'm hoping to see some Koala's and maybe reunite with my old friend Kitty." I told her, sticking out my tongue, because I had a more valid reason for being excited. You can go shopping anywhere, but seeing a rare animal and a person you haven't seen since childhood is something you can only do in a certain place.

"You mean the one you grew up with?" Tommy asked. I nodded, "Yep, hopefully we're going to be near where she lives." I told him. "I'd love for you all to meet her. She's just great. A little quirky, but great."

There was a loud horn and rumbling. Rocky got so excited, he nearly kicked my head, had I not moved to get up. "The train's here!" He cried. I pat his shoulder, "Yes Rocky, we can see that. Now be a good boy and calm the hell down." I chastised. The rest of the group laughed, while Rocky just pouted. "Excuse me for being excited." He mumbled.

-After the Train Ride and The Plane Ride-

Nothing interesting happened on either of the trips that I know of. I fell asleep on both. During the train ride, I fell asleep on Aisha's shoulder, and during the plane ride, I fell asleep on Rocky's shoulder. No doubt Kim and Aisha were going to torment me later for that one. It wouldn't surprise me if they took a picture of it.

We first headed to the hotel where we were sharing hotel rooms. I was paired with Adam, so it wasn't totally horrible. The place was actually rather nice, and not like any of the shoddy ones I've ever been to. Maybe it's because my family was bigger than most and we didn't have enough money for the nicer ones.

I was slightly disappointed to see that we were in Sydney, when Kitty was on the complete other side of the country. It was only a small upset, lasting maybe twenty minutes or so. It quickly faded away when Aisha dragged me and the rest of the gang to some port where a bunch of really cool boats were. Some were sailboats, others were motor boats. Some only had one story, while others had two or three. Aisha waved to most of them. Some people on the boats even waved back.

Then we proceeded to the shops that Kim was 'so' excited about. It was nice, with her buying a few things for her family. I didn't buy anything yet, because it was just a tiny gift shop and there was bound to be more types of stores.

Rocky, however, was on the same page as Kim, shockingly. He bought something for his brother, his parents and an extra gift that I didn't see. I just know that he had an extra bag. He wouldn't buy anything for himself, as he was selfless. He preferred others to be happy rather than him.

By that time, it was lunch, so we stopped by a little outdoor restaurant across the way of the Sydney Opera House. I sat on the end of the table, away from the water. Everyone understood, seeing what happened at the lake.

We all ordered stuff so we could share a bunch of Australia's best. So, we got some burgers, sandwiches, and some other things. I was happy with really everything they gave us. It was very good. Australians knew how to cook and cook well! I heard Bulk and Skull screaming about something, making me look over. They had a live lobster sitting on a platter in front of them. I laughed, "Those two probably ordered a fresh lobster." I commented.

Kim nodded, "Knowing them."

There was a weird energy that just shot through the air that made me shiver. I looked around, seeing if everyone felt that. They all had some sort of reaction, looking on edge. Tommy looked to us, "I wonder what that was?"

Billy looked around the sky, along with the rest of us. "I don't know."

Adam looked a little edgy, "Should we be concerned?"

Kim looked unsure, but answered, "Well, Zordon said he'd contact us if there's any problems, right?"

We nodded to confirm that she was right. Aisha smiled, "They only problem I have is how we're going to get all these souvenirs back to Angel Grove." She said.

Rocky just smirked, "How about a tug-boat?"

That made us all start laughing our faces off. It was actually really funny, whether it being what he said or the tone of voice he said it in. All I know is that we were in stitches. Rocky then proceeded to bend down to one of his bags. "Um, Kaleb, I wanted to wait until we got back to the hotel, but I can't really take it." He said, looking very nervous for some reason.

I took a sip from my orange juice, which I may or may not have an addiction to, before giving him a weird look, "What are you talking about Rocky?"

Rocky, still bent down to his bag, spoke, "Well, as far as I know, we aren't going to any zoos on this trip, so I figured that I could still let you see a Koala." He explained, sitting up and handing me a big stuffed Koala. I grinned and grabbed it, squeezing it.

"Gah! I love it! IT'S SO FLUFFY!" I announced, shaking it in the air. (1)

The gang just laughed, before I smiled at Rocky, "Thanks Rocky. I really appreciate it. You didn't have to do that though."

He shrugged and I could've sworn he was blushing, "Well, I wanted to. It wouldn't be right if you came to Australia and you didn't see some type of Koala." He told me, scratching the back of his neck. He looked so nervous and embarrassed at the same time, and I don't think I could take the adorableness he was showing.

Kim pulled out her camera, "Kodak moment!" She screamed, quickly snapping a picture. It printed and she smiled at it. "Ah, this is just too cute. A boy and his Koala." She cooed.

I glared at her playfully, "Well, you're lucky it isn't a girl and her tiger." I teased, giving a quick glance at Tommy. She gasped and kicked me under the table. I jumped, and bit my lip, as to not scream out in pain, "Right, wrong move, sorry."

Kim just smiled, and tilted her head slightly, "Mhm, that's what I thought."

I gave her a dirty look, but it went away as soon as I looked back at my Koala bear. I don't know why I liked Koalas so much. I just like how they eat a lot, they are adorable, in a dopey kind of way, they are perfect cuddle material and they are just so perfect. Wait, did I describe Koala Bears or Rocky? I think they are both the same to me, except I don't do that beastiality stuff. Ugh.

I was into the Tyrannosaurus type guys myself, if you catch my drift.

After lunch, we walked around some more, with our chaperone finally catching up with us. She had a clipboard with her and a bunch of other people with her. She grinned, "Oh good, you're all here. So, we're going to go to the biggest shopping area for a few hours, so enjoy. Meet back here in two or three hours, okay?"

Way to tell us this after we've already done so. Our group just walked over to a table. I hugged my koala, before placing it in his bag. Yes, I did call it a boy. It is. I called him, at least in my head, Rocky II. Don't judge me, I'm not obsessed. I just think that if I can't hug and cuddle the real Rocky, why not have my own? I don't have a problem!

Anyway, Kim just gushed on about the shops, "You guys, I just love Australia. The shops are just to die for!"

Tommy laughed, "Keep shopping and you'll end up bringing the entire continent back home." This didn't amuse Kim, while me, I was in a stupid daze. Ever since Rocky gave me the bear, I've been feeling so strange. It wasn't a really bad feeling, just one of those feelings that you know is there and it's just sitting and buzzing around your body. I don't know what it was, but it felt nice.

Kim's communicator went off, snapping me out of it. I groaned, "Really?"

Kim just sighed, "I knew it was going to happen."

Tommy looked around, making sure no one was around, before answering. "We read you Zordon, what's up?"

Alpha came through instead, "Rangers, this is Alpha. Morph and teleport to the abandoned theatre in downtown Angel Grove. Once there, wait for further instruction." He explained. Something wasn't right about this. Where is Zordon? Why hasn't he said anything yet?

Billy lifted his hand to his mouth, "Alpha? Is everything alright? Alpha? Alpha?" He turned to us, "Something not right guys."

I nodded, "You're telling me." I muttered. Rocky tried this time, "Alpha, are you okay?!"

Billy once again tried contacting the robot, "Alpha come in!"

"Rangers! This is an emergency! I will contact you as soon as I can!" He said, sounding back to the way he normally spoke. Panicked and under pressure. But where was his classic 'aye yi yi aye!' schtick?

Aisha just shook her head, "Alpha sounds pretty weird."

Adam looked confused, "Maybe he's just worried?" He offered.

Kim just looked down to the ground, "Alright, we better go." She grabbed her bags and I did the same with my koala. We all walked down and around the corner of a building, me and Kim dropping the bags where we stood. Tommy waited for us to gather and then we all reached to our morphers, "It's Morphing Time!"

TigerZord!

Mastodon!

Pterodactyl!

Triceratops!

Saber-Tooth Tiger!

Parasaur!

Tyrannosaurus!

After we morphed, we teleported the coordinates that Alpha sent, and it ended up being some creepy theatre that was in the middle of some sort of thunderstorm. I hated thunder and lightning, even though I am a Power Ranger with the power of a ThunderZord. I just hated the sound thunder makes and the damage lightning causes.

Kim and Aisha both agreed with my thoughts, even though I never said them out loud. We started walking up some stairs, with my Yellow Ranger pal asking what we were doing here. I didn't answer, for fear of my mouth not even working due to fear. Seriously, this is a problem. I can't control this fear, no matter what anyone tries to say.

Tommy sighed, "I guess we're just going to have to wait for Alpha you guys." He said, sounding really freaked. We then started walking down a bunch of corridors, while bursts of thunder kept booming. I let out a slight whimper, but I kept on pushing. I didn't want to be the weak link in the team's chain. I had to be strong.

Suddenly, a bunch of doors started slamming shut, making me jump, along with the rest of my friends. We turned around, but didn't see anything strange. Kim seemed really shook up, "What's going on?" She asked.

Tommy started contacting Alpha, "Come in Alpha. Alpha so you read me?" He asked.

When it didn't work for the seventeenth time, we stopped him. We just walked around some more, deciding that we should wait for Alpha to some through. I didn't like this place at all.

I was in the middle of the pack, with Kim behind me and Adam in front. We were walking on this small little aisle where you could see the whole theatre. It looked like it could be very cool and amazing, in the light. It wasn't at the moment, with all this noise going through.

Suddenly, the same energy wave as when we were at the cafe surged through us again, and it was coming from across the opening. A monster appeared and it was strikingly familiar. It was the same SoccerShark monster that attacked me on the very first day I met the rangers. I glared at it from my helmet, completely forgetting about my fear.

A bunch of other monsters appeared, and we didn't have enough room to fight. We all decided that down in the clearing would the best, so we all jumped down. Suddenly, there was like an army of monsters surrounding us. Tommy went on guard, "There's too many of them. Let's teleport out."

I nodded, eager to leave, but when we tried, our power failed. Then Rocky tried summoning his Power Sword, but it didn't work either. The monsters all started laughing and singing, making me regain my fear.

We were trapped in a creepy building, in a thunderstorm, with an onslaught of monsters surrounding us and our powers weren't working. Could this get any worse?

That was that. There is a part 2 and 3 coming up. They won't be up until later today or maybe early tonight, but they'll be up. Now, what do you think about Rocky giving Kaleb the bear? Cute or what?

(1) - I had to add this line from Despicable Me. It seemed like the perfect moment. I don't own the line!
