Chapter 24 Fairy Tale Gone Wrong

It was Saturday morning, and Kim was waiting for the rest of the group to get there. She pulled out a book from the lost and found and put her hand over her mouth.

"Kimberly, Kimberly, you found it," a little girl yelled.

Young Kelly wrapped her arms around her older cousin's leg.

"I've been wondering where that book was," she said.

"I'm glad you found it. I would've had to buy it again," Kelly's mother laughed.

Kim looked at her aunt and smiled.

"No worries. Mom wouldn't have known it was gone," she said.

"Bye, Kimberly," Kelly waved.

"Take care," she said.

Kim sat down and laughed as she flipped through the pages.

"Hey there, Beautiful," a voice said.

Tommy leaned down and gave Kim a kiss.

"What are you reading," he asked.

"Hey, Tommy. It's a fairy tale my mom used to read to me. I read it to Kelly every now and then," Kim said.

"Cool. So, why do you have it with you," Tommy asked.

"Oh, she had left it here one time I'm guessing," Kim said.

Kelly would always take a book before going back home.

"I can tell you like fairy tales," Tommy replied.

"I love them. I've always wanted to be princess and get rescued by a handsome prince on a white horse," Kim smiled.

She finally closed the book and looked up at Tommy.

"Well," Tommy said, turning and smiling at Kim, "how about a white tiger?"

"That would work," Kim said.

"I knew somehow it would," Tommy smiled.

Zedd and Rita walked into the throne room.

"So, Kimberly likes fairy tales," Rita asked. "Zeddy, what can we do with this?"

"I see Jason has joined them. We'll put them in a fairy tale that they will never forget. Goldar, I want you to join them and keep them entertained," Zedd said.

"As you wish, my Lord," he nodded.

Kim and Tommy got up when Jason kissed Emily before going to see her uncle.

"Jason, where are the rest," Kim asked.

He gave her a puzzled look.

"You mean they're not here yet," Jason asked.

"No," Kim sighed.

"Let's check the park," Tommy said.

"Good idea," Jason replied..

"Where could they be," Kim asked.

"They're probably just running late," Jason said. "We'll just tell them to meet us at the park. I feel like playing a little basketball."

Zedd laughed as he saw the three at the park.

"Great," he smiled, "they're all alone now. Goldar, be ready to put into Kimberly's story."

"Right," he said.

"This plan is brilliant," Rita laughed.

"Goldar, I want you to make sure they don't make it to the end of this story," Zedd said.

"Yes, my Lord," he nodded.

Jason gave a high five to Tommy as he made a shot.

"Good shot bro," he said.

"Kim, want to join us," Tommy asked as the book came flying at him. "Whoa, what was that for?"

"I didn't do it, I swear," Kim said. "It just flew out of my hands."

The three looked down at the book in confusion. How could the book just fly out of her hands?

"What's it doing," Jason asked as the book began coming up off of the ground.

Before they knew it, they were being sucked into the book.

"What's happening," Kim asked.

"Hold on, Kim," Tommy yelled, reaching for her hand.

"It has to be Rita and Zedd," Jason said, dropping to the ground.

"Whoa, where are we," Tommy asked.

Looking around, Kim knew where they were.

"Oh, no, we're in the book," she said.

"You're kidding, right," Tommy asked.

"Afraid not," Kim said. "We have to go through the story."

"You'll never get out of here," a voice laughed.

"Goldar," Kim yelled.

She quickly got behind Tommy.

"Where the hell are you," Jason asked.

"Wouldn't you like to know," Goldar laughed.

"Come on you guys," Tommy said "let's get the hell out of here as fast as we can."

"I couldn't agree more," Kim replied.

Zack, Trini, and Billy looked around in confusion. They were at the basketball court at the park where Jason told them to meet them.

"Didn't Jason say they were here," Zack asked.

"Affirmative," Billy said,

"Then where are they," Trini asked.

"I have no clue," Billy said, looking around.

Zack's communicator started to go off.

"This is Zack," he answered.

"Zack, you, Trini, and Billy need to teleport to the Command Center immediately," Zordon said.

"But what about the rest," Trini asked.

"That's why you three must come," Zordon said.

The three looked each other concern in their eyes.

At the Command Center, Zordon told them what happened to Tommy, Kim, and Jason.

"What do you mean they're in a book, Zordon," Billy asked.

"This can't be happening," Trini said.

She turned away from the viewing globe.

"How do we get them out," Zack asked.

"I'm afraid there is no way to help them get out," Alpha said.

"Is there anything we can do," Trini asked.

"They have to go through the whole story before they can get out," Zordon said.

The three looked at each other in shock.

"Where the hell would that book be at," Zack asked.

"The park," Billy yelled out.

"We got to get to get before someone finds it," Trini said.

The three of them went to the middle of the Command Center.

"Go quickly, Rangers," Zordon said, "and may the power protect you."

"Come on you guys. I hope we get there in time," Billy sighed.

"I'm sure we will," Trini said.

Jason, Tommy, and Kim stopped quickly.

"Putties," Kim yelled.

"Aw man," Tommy moaned, getting into position, "we're so close."

"Goldar's just trying to delay us," Jason said, taking down two of the putties.

"Well, at least there are no monsters in this book," Kim laughed.

"You mean Goldar's not a monster," Tommy asked.

They laughed as the putties disappeared.

"Come on, we're almost half way through," Tommy said.

Kim gave Tommy a puzzled look.

"Oh and how would you know that," she asked.

"Well let's just say I've heard this story before in the past," Tommy admitted.

"We got to get to the end of this book fast," Jason said.

"I hope the rest know where we are," Tommy sighed.

Kim put her hand on Tommy's shoulder.

"I'm sure they do," she said.

She sat down on a rock and sighed.

"I just hope we're already at the Command Center, if you know what I mean," Kim said.

"What if someone found the book before them," Jason asked.

"Come on, let's try to morph and see what happens," Tommy said.

"Do you think it'll work here," Jason asked.

"I hope. Who knows when Goldar will show his ugly face," Tommy sighed.

"Let's do it," Kim said.

She got up and stood beside Tommy.

"It's morphin time," Tommy yelled, but nothing happened.

"Somehow, I knew that would happen," Jason said.

"Great. Absolutely great," Kim panicked. "What are we going to do without our powers?"

"Hope for the best," Tommy said.

Trini, Zack, and Billy had teleported to the basketball court at the park in hopes in finding the book.

"Any luck you two," Zack asked.

Trini and Billy shook their heads.

"Not yet," Trini said. "I'm going to check those bushes over there by the hoops.

"Man, where could it be," Billy asked.

"I found it," Trini yelled.

"Are you sure it's it," Zack asked.

"I'm pretty sure it is," Trini replied.

"Let's look through it first," Billy said.

They flipped through the pages and finally spotted them.

"There they are," Trini said. "Let's get back to the Command Center."

Trini put the book under her arm to teleport.

A flash of yellow, black, and blue entered the Command Center.

"Zordon, we found the book," Trini said.

"Well done, Rangers," he replied.

"Where are they now," Alpha asked.

"They're three quarters away," Zack said.

"So, now what are we going to do," Billy asked.

"We have to wait for Tommy, Kimberly, and Jason to get to the end of the book," Zordon said.

Trini, Billy, and Zack all moaned.

"I hate waiting," Billy said.

"Me too, Billy," Trini sighed, "but these things take time I'm afraid."

Zack looked down at the book and sighed.

"Time is something we don't have," he said.

Kim was almost about to fall asleep as she leaned on Tommy's arm.

"You think I'd make it easy for you to get out," a voice laughed.

"Goldar," Kim yelled. "Stay away from me!"

Tommy pulled Kim behind him.

"Jason, get Kim out of here. The end's right behind Goldar," he said.

Jason took Kim's hand and started running.

"Tommy, I'm not leaving you," Kim cried.

"Kim, go," he yelled.

Tommy blocked all of Goldar's kicks and smiled when he saw Kim and Jason jump out of the book.

"You've lost, Goldar," he laughed.

"You're still here, and I'm not letting you leave," he said.

"We'll see about that," Tommy smared off.

Kim and Jason fell to the Command Center floor as they jumped out of the book.

"You guys made it," Trini smiled.

Trini ran over to Kim and Jason and hugged them. Kim looked all around and started to panic.

"Where's Tommy? He made it, didn't he? Please tell me he did," she sobbed.

With another flash of light, Tommy appeared on the floor.

"Tommy," Kim cried, running over to him.

"Did I make it out," he asked.

"You sure did man," Zack smiled.

"I'm glad you three are back safe," Zordon said.

"Thanks," Jason smiled.

"How was it being in that book,' Billy asked.

"That gave me a new meaning of fairy tale," Kim laughed.

"I never want to go through something like that again," Jason said.
