A New Life
Chapter Two
"Do you have... A three?" Dulcea asked.
"Go fish," Alpha 5 replied.
Dulcea groaned and picked up a card from the deck.
"ANY LUCK?" Zordon asked.
Dulcea shook her head. "Unfortunately, no. I thought Go Fish was a game of luck, not skill."
Zordon chuckled. "WELL, WHEN YOU'RE PLAYING AGAINST A LEXIAN-MAKE ANDROID, IT'S NOT."
"I think I'm learning this," Dulcea replied, setting a card from her hand in front of Alpha.
"I win!" the robot exclaimed, jumping up and down.
"Yet again," a voice said from across the room. Billy Cranston crossed the distance of the Power Chamber and leaned against the console that the two had been playing cards on. "Alpha, I challenge you."
Alpha titled his head to the side in curiousity. "Can you lose time in your research of the Black Zeo shard?"
"I have completed my research for today," Billy said. "All work and no play is my life of yesterday."
Dulcea smiled. "The true wise words of the Wolf."
"Or just the words of a young genius tired of working all the time," Billy replied.
"That might be it," Dulcea laughed.

Tanya Sloan sat down at a table at the Youth Center. She opened up her algebra book and flipped to the assigned page. She sighed after reading through the problems.
"Great. This is definitely not my week," she muttered.
Many things had gone wrong for Tanya that week, indeed. First, a woman from the planet of Pheados came and got captured by King Mondo of the Machine Empire. Then, that same girl was rescued by Tanya's boyfriend Adam, and he ended up falling in love with her. The relationship between Tanya and Adam had ended, leaving Tanya a bit lonely, even with the comfort and support of her best friend Kat Hillard. And now, to top off the week, Tanya was loaded with homework.
Jason Scott walked into the Youth Center and looked around for his friends. He saw Adam Park and Tommy Oliver sparring on the mats, Rocky DeSantos and Aisha Campbell sitting in a booth by themselves, Tanya Sloan sitting at a table studying, and Sarah Hughes watching Adam and Tommy spar from her vantage point at a table near the mats. Jason was almost tempted to go and ask Rocky if he wanted to spar, but second thought the idea. He knew that Rocky and Aisha would probably want to be left alone, considering that they had finally gotten together days earlier and had no other time to themselves. Jason smirked and walked over to Tanya's table.
"Is this seat taken?" he asked, indicating to the seat across from her.
Tanya shook her head. "No. Go ahead, I don't mind."
Jason sat down in the chair. "Thanks. So, what do you have?"
"Everything besides gym," Tanya replied, grimacing. She indicated to the three textbooks and various papers spread out around her.
"And let me guess, it's all due tomorrow."
"Yeah," she said. Her face looked saddened by that fact. Then, suddenly, she looked up at Jason and smiled. "Unless, you want to help me. I don't mean like do it for me, but you know--"
"In case you get stuck," Jason said, grinning.
Tanya blushed, but it was hidden with her darker skin tone. "Uh, yeah."
Jason laughed. "Sure."

"You know, Shikaku, maybe trying to use the Pheadocian girl as a ploy isn't such a good idea," Queen Machina said.
Shikaku raised an eyebrow. "Sorona? Now, why would use my own niece has a ploy? On the contrary, I intend to kidnap that Black Zeo Ranger, and therefore put her on such a level of stress that she won't be able to fight."
"So you do have family values," Klank concluded.
"Little ones," Shikaku laughed, putting his thumb and forefinger millimeters apart.
"So, how do you plan to attack the Rangers?" King Mondo asked.
"From the inside and then outwards, one might say."
