They came up upon the Youth Centre, and Ryla grinned,
I love this place
Tommy grabbed the door and held it open for everyone. Ryla smiled at him, "Thanks Tommy."
He nodded, and closed the door behind him, "No problem . . .oh, and I'm sorry about your arm."
She grinned, and rubbed her arm, "No big, but thanks."
He nodded and dropped down next to Kimberly at one of the tables. Ryla saw Billy up ordering for everyone, so she went up to join him,
"-and a protein shake for Tommy." Billy looked over and grinned at Ryla.
She smiled back, then turned to Ernie, "And I'll have a soda."
Ryla reached to grab some change, but Billy touched her arm, "Put it on our tab."
"Oh no, you don't-"
Billy shook his head, "Yes . . . indeed I do."
She sighed, "Well, if you're sure."
"Affirmative." He nodded, slipping the bills to Ernie.
Billy and Ryla made their way back to the table, "It shall only be a few minutes."
Rocky nodded, "Cool. So . . . Ryla. We're, a TV show, that's what you said? What kind of show?"
"Yea," Adam nodded, swiping his arms through the air, "Is it some action slash drama series, he yaw!"
Billy shook his head, "Or rather, some fantasy sci-fi, in occurrence of all the facts of super natural tendencies in the area?"
Ryla shook her head, "Nope. It's neither of those."
Tommy leaned in, "So . . . what is it?"
She shrugged a bit, "It's . . . a Kids Show."
"What? You're telling me that it's a show where we kill monsters and fight with weapons . . . for kids?"
Ryla nodded, "Ya . . . I never really thought of it like that, but I guess it would be gruesome, except, I don't think I've ever seen a spot of blood shown."
She laughed a bit, just as Ernie walked over with the tray of drinks, "Alright. Here's Tommy's protein shake, Adam's vanilla milkshake, Kim's iced tea, Rocky's citrus lemonade, Aisha's cran-apple spritzer, Billy's spinach juice, and . . . I'm sorry, I never caught your name."
Ernie turned to look at Ryla. She grinned and nodded, "It's Ryla."
He smiled, "Well then, Ryla, here's your soda."
Ernie flipped his empty tray up and walked back to the counter. Ryla picked up her glass and took a sip through the straw. She felt a small chill go through her, but decided to ignore it. Aisha turned back to look at her, and with one grin to Kim, asked "So . . . which one of us was your favorite?"
Ryla's eyes widened just over her soda, "Umm . . . what?"
Kim grinned, "In every TV show that I've watched, I've always had a favorite. Who's yours?"
She opened her mouth to try to stammer her way out of the question, when she heard,
"Well . . . what do we have here?"
"Ya! What do we have here?!"
Ryla groaned as silently as she could before she turned around, "Bulk! Skull! H-hey guys . . . what's up?"
Skull turned to Bulk, "Ya Bulky, what's up?"
"Shut up nimrod!" Bulk shoved him with his arm, "What are you doing with these geek-oids?!"
Billy stood up, "Hey, guys . . . why don't you just leave us alone, ok?"
Bulk stepped up to him, and prodded his chest, "Hey! Was I talking to you?"
"I think you should go Bulk, please." Ryla waved her hand at him.
Bulk shook his head, "Don't say I didn't warn you girly . . ."
"Ya! Girly!" Skull laughed loudly and smacked his gum.
Bulk grabbed him by the collar, pulling him away with him, "Come on."
After they walked away Ryla grinned a bit, "Sorry about that. I ran into them just after I got here. I had to be . . . sickeningly sweet them to find out where the Youth Centre was."
Kim pursed her lips, "Ooh . . . that must have hurt."
The whole table began to laugh, and Ryla nodded, "Oh so very much it did."
Aisha waved her arms, "Ok, we've had our laughs . . . but don't it's getting you out of telling us who your favorite was."
"We won't care really. It's just fun to see." Adam nodded reassuringly.
Rocky agreed, "It's not like we'll get jealous or anything."
"Ya . . . so just tell us . . . come on." Kim prodded her a bit verbally.
Ryla held up her hands, "All right! All right! You really want to know?"
"It seems as though they do." Billy nodded and brought his straw up to his mouth.
"Fine . . . my favorite . . ." Ryla sighed audibly, "It's Billy."
Billy's straw came from his mouth and he cough on his spinach juice, causing Tommy to have to hit his back several times to get it down. When he was able to take in air, he looked over at her, "Me?"
Ryla nodded, "Yes Billy . . . you."
Kim stifled her mouth to hold back laughs, while Aisha kicked Adam under the table to keep him from chuckling. He looked up at her, "But . . . why?"
It was time for Ryla to laugh, "Honestly Billy . . . it should be obvious. You've evolved the most out of everyone. In the beginning, you didn't have the skills to fight, but that didn't stop you, you kept at it . . . and look at you now. It's amazing . . . not to mention the fact that you're a genius. You've done a lot for the Rangers."
Tommy clapped him on the back, "That's for sure. He's fixed the Zords and other stuff hundreds of times."
Kim held up her wrist, "not to mention inventing the communicators . . . and color coordinating them."
"See Billy? You're just . . . Morphinominal." Ryla nodded, and touched his arm softly, grinning.
Billy blushed a bit and lowered his head, "Geez guys . . . thanks."
Kim laughed, "Don't thank us . . . Ryla brought it up."
This caused Ryla to blush. Then she felt something against her arm. She looked down to see a spider crawling over her, "Ahh!"
She stood up and began shaking her arm fiercely; trying to get the spider off, "get it off! Get it off!"
Tommy jumped up and brushed it off her arm, squashing the spider with his boot. Ryla let out a huge sigh and dropped back down into her chair, "Sorry guys . . . The only thing that scares me worse than Rita . . . is spiders."
