Chapter 7: A Family Day Gone Bad

Author's Note: Before you go and read the chapter, could you help me a bit please? You see, I've only seen clips of Power Rangers in Space and I know the story, but I just don't know about Andros and Ashley's personalities. Could you please tell me? That would be great. Okay, I'm done talking on with the story.

For Rebecca's birthday, Tommy took his family to the beach. Kimberly had spread out the beach blanket on the sand and pulled out her video camera. She was taping Tommy playing with Josh in the water. He was holding onto his hands and lifted him up into the air and carefully set him back into the water. She carefully switched over to show the girls playing together in the water. Kimberly was so glad to see her daughters so happy together. Tommy placed Josh on the blanket, since their son was falling asleep in his arms. He placed a blanket over him so the sun wouldn't harm him. Kimberly walked over and sat back on the beach chair. She placed a towel over her eyes and relaxed.

After a few minutes, Tommy had an idea. He called Rebecca and Ann over. "I have an idea. Go fill up you bucket with water, then walk over to mom and pour it on her," he whispered. Rebecca grabbed her bucket and the girls ran to the water. When they filled it up, it took Ann and Rebecca to carry it over to Kimberly. Tommy held up the camera and smiled as the girls dumped the water on her. Kimberly shrieked and shot up in shock.

"Ann! Rebecca!" She gasped.

"DADDY SAID TO DO IT!" They exclaimed in unison.

Kimberly stood up from her chair and Tommy put the camera down and waited for the pounce. She hurried over to him and Tommy was able to catch her. However, with so much force, Tommy fell back into the water with a loud splash. The girls giggled to see their parents acting like children. Tommy picked Kimberly up and threw her over his shoulder. She hit his back like a child throwing a temper. "THOMAS JAMES OLIVER! PUT ME DOWN NOW!" She yelled.

"Okay," he sighed.

Kimberly yelped as he dropped her in the water. Ann and Rebecca were rolling on the ground with laughter. Kimberly reached up and pulled her husband down to her. Ann and Rebecca finally got out off the ground, giggling. "Now, you'll be paying for that," she fake snapped. She stood up and when her husband got up, she shoved him backwards and laughed as he fell back into the water. Tommy jumped up and then the kids ran over to them. Tommy grabbed the girls and held them.

"I have two hostages," he teased.

Kimberly ran over and then Tommy had the girls on the beach. The girls giggled and then Kimberly had her husband on his back. "I WIN!" She yelled triumphantly. The girls cheered before Josh starting crying again. Kimberly got out of the water and walked over towards Josh. She picked the baby up and cradled him in her arms.

After another hour of fun, they saw that their children were getting tired. "I think its time to go home," Tommy mentioned. He picked Rebecca up from the sand and they got everything back in the car.

As they drove home, Tommy looked in the backseat to see his three children fast asleep. Rebecca had her head on Ann's shoulder and Ann had her head on her sister's. He looked over at Kimberly to see her falling asleep as well. "Are you tired, Beautiful?" He asked.

"I am a bit tired. I'm worried though. Mesogog hasn't attacked in the past few weeks. I'm getting quite worried," she replied.

Tommy held onto her hand with a sigh. "When he does attack, we'll be there to fight his evil again," he assured. She looked over at her children with a smile. Just then, an explosion went off in front of the jeep, making the jeep swerve. "HOLD ON!" Tommy yelled. Kimberly grabbed the side of her seat while the girls screamed. The jeep stopped swerving and Kimberly threw her seatbelt off to look at the children.

"Is everyone all right?" She asked.

"I'm okay, mommy," the girls said in unison.

Josh was whimpering and Kimberly was able to hush the infant while her husband went out towards the back of the jeep. "Is everybody okay?" He asked.

"We're fine, how's the jeep?" She asked.

"Come and take a look yourself," he replied.

Kimberly got out of the jeep and joined him behind her. "What on earth?" She asked. The tires on the back seemed liked someone just grabbed them right off the back. "Now what?" She asked. Just then, dinodrones surrounded them. "Ann, Rebecca, watch your brother," Kimberly ordered. They nodded while their parents stood in front of the jeep.

"DINO THUNDER! POWER UP!" They yelled.

They morphed and they fought the dinodrones. Elsa then arrived and attacked Kimberly. "KIMBERLY!" Tommy yelled. The White Ranger then came at Tommy.

"DADDY!" The girls yelled.

"Stay where you are," Tommy ordered.

They nodded and watched the fight. Kimberly pulled out her swords and fought Elsa with them. Elsa pulled out her sword and pinned Kimberly up against a tree. Kimberly kicked her in the gut and the evil woman fell back to the ground. "It's very sad you had to destroy our Blood Red Ranger," Elsa sighed as she circled Kimberly.

"Your master just about destroyed my life," Kimberly snapped.

"You know, he wasn't always created by my master. He was once a human being, but when Mesogog appeared, I got a reading in Miami and that ex-boyfriend that you called 'Jake' was already dead. The real Jake did die in that car accident you read about. However, we created a new Jake, so your torture can keep going. We wanted your spirit to break and we almost succeeded," Elisa explained.

Tommy was thrown next to her and they were chained together. "We got some DNA samples for a new and improved Jake. We gave him Jake's profile and his name. We had to make it look like he survived the crash, we erased the doctor and his family's memories to that point in time so they believed that he was alive. We wanted the gem and we would have succeeded if your lover and his friends didn't rescue the gem from our lair," she added. Kimberly held onto Tommy's hand as they disappeared. Ann looked at Rebecca and then she screeched when someone grabbed her shoulder. She looked up and undid her seatbelt and jumped into the person's arms.

"Connor," she whimpered.

The Red Ranger held her and looked around. Rebecca curled up against Kira. "Trent, grab Josh, let's get out of here," Kira demanded. They nodded before hurrying away.

When they entered the house, Connor and his friends, who were still morphed de-morphed. Ann was whimpering in Connor's arms when he tried to put her down. "Now what?" He asked. He sat down with the young child in his arms. "I wasn't expecting to baby-sit tonight," he groaned. Rebecca was doing the same with Kira.

"I guess you guys are going to have to watch them for the night. Trent, Ethan, you guys can go home. I'll help Connor and Kira with the kids for the night," Hayley offered.

They nodded before walking home. Ann whimpered with tears falling from her eyes and into the Red Ranger's shirt. "The mean lady took mommy and daddy. They took my parents," she sobbed. Hayley sat down with Josh in her arms. Connor then had Ann look at him.

"Was it Elsa? Did Elsa take your parents?" He asked.

"The creepy lady with the guy in white," Rebecca replied.

They nodded when they knew that it was Elsa and the White Ranger clone that took Tommy and Kimberly.

Tommy and Kimberly fought against the dinodrones that dragged them to Mesogog. "Well, I don't think that my evil White Ranger has been completely introduced to the Pink Ranger," Mesogog pointed out. He had both Tommy and Kimberly strapped in the chairs while the White Ranger walked over to Kimberly.

"I have never seen a Power Ranger with such beauty," he commented.

Kimberly glared at him. "Stand in line, buddy. Just about every enemy I come up to say that and you guys aren't the first ones to capture me," she snapped. Tommy held back the urge to laugh at her comment. It was true, remembering when Lord Zedd kidnapped Kimberly so she would be his queen. Mesogog walked over and stood between them.

"I remember capturing the Pink Ranger before," he reminded.

"Don't remind me. I'm still trying to shake it off," she mumbled.

"How could you harm such a beauty?" The White Ranger asked.

"I needed her energy crystal."

Kimberly closed her eyes when the White Ranger touched her hair. Tommy began to feel anger go through his body when he saw the guy touch his wife. "Leave her alone," he snapped.
