A/N: Ok, I'm pretty sure I screwed with the time line here... so sue me. I had to make it fit and I haven't seen an episode in this area in ages. So they still have the Ninjetti powers but they've already been turned into kids...they just found another solution besides the zeo stuff. Hope it doesn't ruin it too much for ya! :)

Adam looked up in thought and began whispering to himself.
"The tenth...what did we do then?...hmmm..." Then it hit him. "Yeah, I think we were! BILLY!"
The blue ranger's head appeared from the kitchen door on cue.
"You called?"
"Weren't we all at your house on February tenth?" Billy's face looked puzzled for a moment, not realizing the importance of the question, then he shrugged.
"Yes..I believe we were. My father had gone to a convention in New York for a week. That was when you we were all turned into children by Master Vile, right?..."
"Thank You Billy!" Tommy cried happily.
"...though I don't remember you being there Tommy."
The white ranger groaned. "You're killing me here."
"I knew it. You've got no alliby Thomas so stop lying!" Kim yelled and then turned to Adam. "I'm going to go say goodbye and apologize to the others. It was a sweet gesture Adam but it didn't work. I'll go back to your place for the weekend. Keys?"
She held her hand out. He sighed and reluctantly placed the house key, attached to a frog keychain, in her petite hand. She smiled as she studied the little amphibian then closed her hand tightly and walked into the kitchen. As soon as she was out of sight Tommy sent a cold glare at Billy.
"What?!" The genius asked in defense.
"You just had to say I wasn't there... Kim thinks I... but I didn't and...oh!" He threw his hands up in frustration.
"I'm sorry Tommy, but I really _don't_ remember you being there."
"Now that I think about it," Adam interrupted. "I don't remember you being there either."
"Thanks for the support guys. Where else would I have been? You can't honestly think I did what she said....can you?" His brown eyes changed from vexation to hurt.
"No no, of course not. It's just that well... we don't know where you were then." Adam reassured. "Don't you remember?"
Tommy thought for a moment, then held his head from a sudden headache.
"I- I don't know." He said sadly when it subsided.
"What exactly did she say you did that you didn't do?" Billy paused, trying to see if the question made sense. "That is..what DIDN'T you do on the tenth?"
"Set her apartment on fire." Tommy stated numbly. If Billy wasn't sitting at that moment he'd had fallen on the floor.
"What?!"
"Long story." Adam briefly massaged his temples.
"I have an idea. If you'd like, I'm sure Zordon would-"
"That's it! You are a genius Billy!" Tommy jumped up and ran into the kitchen.
"Uh...thanks..." The Wolf's reply came too late.
*Meanwhile*
Kim walked into the kitchen as calmly as possible after the horrible encounter.
"Kim!" Aisha greeted in a chipper voice. "How'd it all go?"
Kim's sad smile gave all the information her, Kat, and Rocky needed.
"I'm going to go back to Adam's guys, but thanks anyway."
"No, Kim. Please stay?" Rocky pleaded.
"Yeah, stay Kim." Kat agreed.
"I don't think that's a good idea.."
"What happened??" Kim was never so withdrawn and Aisha knew something big had to cause such a reaction in her best friend.
"I..nothing..I'll explain some other time." She proceeded to give each one a hug. "I'll see you all later." Kim was about to walk out the door when Kat's voice stopped her.
"Wait! Kim! I, uh, I have something to tell yo-" But before the pink ranger could finish, Tommy rushed in and placed a hand on her predecessor's arm, teleporting them both.
"What was that all about?" Rocky turned to the girls.
"I don't know..." The yellow ranger muttered and walked out towards Billy and Adam. Rocky was close behind, leaving Kat with her hand in her pink sweatshirt pocket..turning something nervously before she finally followed.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Why can't anyone remember where Tommy was? Did he really do something? What will Zordon say? And what was Kat going to say?
