A/N: I know we run late in updating. But bear with us here. We are trying to make things more interesting. Besides we have finals and other things. School is letting out also. So no flames.

Chapter 2: I've got a theory and more rangers?
At the Magic Box the next day, the bell jingles, and Buffy enters.
"Good morning, Buffy!" Giles greets.
Willow and Tara are standing by the counter. Giles is near a bookshelf.
"Oh, hey," Willow smiles. "Did Dawn get off to school all
right?"
Buffy seems distracted. "What? Oh, uh, yeah. I think so."
Buffy walks farther into the store. Xander sits at the round table holding a
donut in each hand.
"Respect the cruller," he holds one up. "And tame the
donut! "
Anya passes by going to the counter.
"That's still funny, sweetie."
Anya goes behind the counter. Giles looks in the box of donuts, takes one
out, takes a bite.
" So, uh, no research? " Buffy asks. "Nothing going on?
Monsters or what not?"
Giles and Xander shake their heads "no," continue eating donuts.
"Good! Good." She looks around awkwardly. "Uh, so, did
anybody ... uh ... last night, you know, did anybody, um ... burst into
song?"
Giles stops chewing. Everyone twitches and stares at Buffy for a moment.
" Merciful Zeus! " Xander gasps.
Willow, Tara, and Anya rush over. Everyone talks at once.
" We thought it was just us! " Willow starts.
" Well, " Giles shrugs " I sang but I had my guitar at the
hotel..."
"It was bizarre," Tara comments. "We were talking and then
it was like-"
"Like you were in a musical! " Buffy interrupts.
" Yeah! "
" That would explain,"; Giles nods, "the huge backing orchestra
I couldn't see and the synchronized dancing from the room service
chaps."
" We did a whole duet about dish washing," Willow grins.
" And we were arguing and," Anya puts in, " and then everything
rhymed and there were harmonies and the dance with coconuts. (coconuts! um...like *twitch twitch*)
" There was an entire verse about the cous-cous," Willow
remembers.
" It was very disturbing," Xander puts in.
Everyone talking at once.
" What did you sing about Buffy?" Giles asks.
"I don't remember," Buffy puases, "but i-it seemed perfectly
normal."
" But disturbing," Xander tells. "And not the natural order
of things, and do you think it'll happen again? "
" I don't know," Giles shrugs. "I should look into
it."
" With the books," Willow nods.
" Do we have any books on this? " Tara asks.
" Well, we just gotta break it down," Xander sits. " Look at
the factors before it happens again. Because I for one-"
The bell above the door goes off again, and they all look up. Seven young
people walk in and look around. Buffy immediatly walks up to them and
smiles.
"Good you're here." She motions them to come in more, and
looks at the rest. " I met these guys last night. I asked them to come
here."
The Rangers were cautious. They had to be. Maybe they weren't Rangers
anymore, but the secret still had to be kept. Tommy look at Buffy, not too
sure about the others.
" Don't worry," she says. " They're used to the
wierd. That's Giles our brain, Xander the multipurpose one, Willow and
Tara are witches, and Anya is an ex demon. Guys, these are the Power
Rangers."
Tommy steps forward more at Rocky's push. " I'm Tommy, and
that's Kat, Tanya, Rocky, Adam, and Billy. "
" Power Rangers? " Giles asks. " I've heard of you. The
ones who fight the space monsters, right?"
They nod. Buffy can see the tension, so she tries something.
" They helped last night in the cemetary. Their enemies were there, and
gathering of baddies can't be good, right?"
" Hey, did you guys burst into song?" Xander asks.
The Rangers trade glances before grining.
" A small one," Rocky shrugs. " At least we're not the
only ones."
Things relax a little, and the Rangers take seats around the place. Tommy
explains things a little.
" We were sent here by our mentor, since the current team has their own
problems. We're expecting more of our friends to show up, too. All we
know is that somebody planed this years ago and it's aimed at us to keep
us from finding something.
" That's not helpful," Anya mutters.
Rocky shrugs, " Dimitria won't say more, and she's usually a
cryptic pain in the--"
Kat and Adam smack him and he shuts up while wincing. Billy just grins from
the background. Just then...
TOMMY:
I've got a theory
That it's a monster
A dancing monster!
No, something isn't right there.
WILLOW:
I've got a theory
Some kid is dreamin'
And we're all stuck inside his wacky Broadway nightmare. [Tara doing
jazz hands]
ADAM:
I've got a theory we should work this out.
KAT/ADAM/TANYA/XANDER:
It's getting eerie, what's this cheery singing all about?
XANDER/ROCKY: [jumps up]
It could be witches!
Some evil witches!
Willow and Tara glare at them.
Which is ridiculous, 'cause witches they were persecuted,
Wicca good and love the earth and woman power
and I'll be over here. [sits]
ANYA: I've got a theory! It could be bunnies!
Silence. The others just stare at her. Sound of crickets chirping.
TANYA: I've got a-
Suddenly the tune changes to a frantic hard-rock beat with electric guitar
and a roving spotlight that waves crazily over Anya.
ANYA: (shrieking a la Alanis Morissette)
Bunnies aren't just cute like everybody supposes!
They've got them hoppy legs and twitchy little noses!
And what's with all the carrots?
What do they need such good eyesight for anyway?
[playing air guitar]
Bunnies!
Bunnies!
It must be bunnies!
Fireworks go off all around her, then the smoke clears away. The others
continue simply staring.
ANYA: (back to original melody)
Or maybe midgets.
WILLOW/TANYA: (quickly sits down beside Giles and opens a book)
I've got a theory we should work this fast.
WILLOW/GILES/BILLY/TOMMY:
Because it clearly could get serious before it's passed.
Giles gets up, starts to climb the stairs to the loft.
BUFFY:
I've got a theory. It doesn't matter.
Giles pauses, turns back. Everyone looks at Buffy.
BUFFY:
What can't we face if we're together?
What's in this place that we can't weather?
Apocalypse?
We've all been there.
The same old trips
Why should we care?
ALL EXCEPT GILES:
What can't we do if we get in it?
We'll work it through within a minute.
Buffy looks at Giles throughout this. He watches her too and finally joins
in.
ALL:
We have to try
We'll pay the price
It's do or die
BUFFY/ZORDONin background:
Hey, I've died twice.
Giles smiles, comes down off the ladder.
ALL: What can't we face if we're together?
GILES: (descant) What can't we face...
ALL: What's in this place that we can't weather?
GILES: ...if we're together...
ALL: There's nothing we can't face.
ANYA: (sits) Except for bunnies.
" See, okay," Rocky sits, "that was disturbing."
" I thought it was neat," Willow also sits.
" So what is it? " Buffy asks. " What's causing it? "
" I thought it didn't matter," Giles looks at her.
" Well, I'm not exactly quaking in my stylish yet affordable boots, but
there's definitely something unnatural going on here. And that doesn't
usually lead to hugs and puppies."
" Well, is it just us? I mean, is it only happening to us? 'Cause that
would probably mean a spell or-"
Buffy goes to the door, opens it. The bell jingles.
In the street. A man stands in the street holding a shirt in a dry-cleaning
bag.
DAVID: (sings) They got ... the mustard ... out!
A whole crowd of people standing in dance formation holding dry-cleaning
bags. They do a synchronized dance, waving the clothing around.
CROWD: (sings) They got the mustard out!
Buffy turns back into the store, closes the door.
" It's not just us," Buffy shrugs.
" What we do know," Billy starts, " is that if our foes and
your own team up, they'll unleash a powerful evil."
" So what else is new? " Anya and someone from the door asks.
They turn to see five more people standing there. Kimberly is smiling as she
is the one who said it. With her are Trini, Zack, Jason, and Aisha. The
other Rangers bolt up and greet their friends. They guide them to the
others.
" These are the other Rangers," Tommy starts, then sees
Jason's look. " Don't worry, bro, they're cool. Jason,
Kim, Trini, Zack, and Aisha."
The Scoobies introduce themselves as well. As the need to figure what's
going on becomes apparent, they all settle down and begin to talk and
think.
