Chapter Twenty Seven-Ditching School
"Do you think they just moved without telling anyone?"
"Maybe they got put in the witness protection program. Those people are always leaving their homes unannounced and all. I bet that's what happened."
"That is the stupidest idea I have ever heard."
"I don't hear you coming up with any ideas."
"At least I'm not saying every little thing that pops into my head whether it makes sense or not."
"I wish Ann was here. She makes the two of you stop fighting all of the time. How is she so good at that?"
Ann's three best friends were sitting outside during lunch. They had been trying to figure out where the Oliver family was for the past two months or so. The twins and Dr. Oliver still hadn't shown up at the high school. Gymnastics and dance were still being coached by the assistants, and the dojo had remained closed. Not to mention that the star and the soccer coach still hadn't shown up, and the café was still closed. And the triplets were mysteriously absent for school as well.
"What if they really are just sick?" Anthony said.
"Do you know how unlikely it is for someone to be sick for over two months? Let alone their whole family being sick for the same amount of time, with none of them being heard from at all." Maya said. "Something fishy is going on, and I intend to find out what it is."
"How are you going to do that?" Lauren asked curiously.
"We are going to go to their house. Right now."
"Isn't that ditching?"
"Be quiet Lauren. You are such a goody two shoes."
"Am not. I'll drive."
But the three friends were sorely disappointed when they arrived at the Oliver home. All they found there was many layers of dust, and a whole lot of mail on the porch.
"Where are they?" Maya cried exasperatedly. "If they were sick then they would be at home. And they aren't in the hospital, because we would have heard about that. That one reporter is so nosey, she goes to the hospital all the time to find out about what patients are in there for. I think her name is Cassidy or something."
"Who cares?" Anthony said. "I jut want to know where my friends are."
"Let's just head back to school." Lauren said. "We've already ditched sixth period, I'd rather not miss seventh as well."
The three teenagers drove back to the high school in silence, not knowing that their friend had been watching them the entire time.
"Zordon, you seriously need internet."
"We have internet."
"You do?! And you didn't tell me! Can I go email my friends?"
"Check with your parents first. You all need the same cover story. And make sure that it's different form the ones everyone else comes up with."
"Yes sir." Ann ran off to find her parents. They approved of her emailing her friends and they had already come up with a good cover story. It incorporated the reason why they weren't at their house as well.
When Ann finally found the computer with internet, she hurriedly opened her email to find that her friends had been sending her stuff about five times a day, wanting to know where she was. This was going to be harder than she thought.
"There you are Ann." Billy had appeared out of absolutely nowhere. "You do realize that school started half an hour ago, right?"
"Uh, I don't have a watch."
"So? There are a ton of clocks everywhere, and lots of other people have watches. You could have asked someone."
"I was um…"
Billy was tapping his foot impatiently, waiting for her excuse.
"Fine. I'll get a watch."
"And?"
"Oh, alright. I'm coming. I'm coming." Ann turned the computer off. "I can't wait to get out of this place."
"That isn't something you should ask for." Billy warned. "You know how the only way to get out of here is."
No sooner had he said that, when Ann's communicator went off.
"Saved by the bell." Billy said. "But remember when you come back, you have to take a physics test."
"I hate physics." Ann replied before running off. She ran straight into the main room, where she found Zordon and everyone else.
"It would appear that Scarlette thinks you are all still missing. She has sent monster's to attack downtown Reefside." Zordon said. "I will send you there, and your zords will be on standby. Crystal, you will command the phoenix zord. But I believe you have already used it, have you not?"
Crystal nodded. "Now go." Zordon said, pushing a button on the panel beside him.
Downtown Reefside
"They're coming."
Goldar glanced at Haxel out of the corner of his eye. "If you say so."
"Just wait for it."
The power rangers appeared out of nowhere.
"Wow. You're good." Goldar muttered. "Now, where did those putties go?"
"Ok guys." Ann said, turning to the six other rangers. "It's only the two of them right now, but some putties or something will probably show up sooner or later."
But before any of the rangers could attack, and before the putties appeared, two other people appeared in a bright flash of pink and white light. A boy and a girl in white Ninjetti uniforms. It was the girl who spoke.
"Oh, this isn't good. This isn't good at all." The two people were the Ann and David Oliver who had gone to the past of fourteen years ago. But now, they were here, in the alternate future they had helped to create, and a future that they definitely did not belong in.
a/n-i really need to know what you think of this chapter. i had a lot of trouble writing it, and i want to know if you think the two showing up and the end of this chapter is weird or confusing.
