Meanwhile, in Hailey's Cyber-Cafe, the Dino Rangers, Ethan James, Kira Ford, Trent Fernandez, and their leader Conner McKnight were discussing the changes that had just ocurred.
"Can you believe how many Rangers there are now?" Ethan asked.
"I know. It's amazing," Kira agreed. They looked over to the other group who seemed to be having a conversation of their own. Just then, Hailey Johnson, the cafe's owner walked up.
"Hey, guys," she greeted.
"Hey," the teens chorused.
"Have you guys seen Tommy?" Hailey wondered.
"No. Why?" Ethan responded.
"Is it Mesogog?" Trent interjected before Hailey could answer.
"No. I---was just wondering why he hadn't shown up," Hailey finally said. However, the door opened a few minutes later, and a man wearing a white shirt and black jeans walked in.
"Dr. O?" Ethan asked in surprise. Everyone else was as equally shocked. They had never seen him wear anything but black since it was his color. Their confusion mounted when Tommy Oliver simply walked past them and headed for the other group.
"Hey, Tommy," Rockwell "Rocky" DeSantos greeted.
"Hey, guys," Tommy acknowledged. Kimberly Hart turned around in her chair.
"You're wearing white," she noted, a happy tone in her voice. Tommy laughed.
"Of course. It's my color again," he stated.
"And it looks so good on you," Kimberly said, semi-flirting. Jason Lee Scott, Zachary "Zack" Taylor, Trini Quan, William "Billy" Cranston, Adam Park, Aiesha Campbell, and Katherine "Kat" Hillard each stifled a laugh. Kimberly fixed her friends with a glare. Meanwhile, Conner, Kira, Ethan, and Trent glowered at the large group.
"Look at them. It's not fair," Kira grumbled.
"Yeah. He's with our team," Conner agreed.
"Guys, they're his friends," Hailey pointed out.
"He doesn't have to abandon us," Trent said moodily.
"Oh, you guys," Hailey sighed, somewhat exasperated. However, her gaze lingered on the group. One of the men in red said something which caused Tommy to throw his head back and laugh. The kids were right. It wasn't fair. Tommy had never acted that carefree around them. Could it be that they were all drifting away from their Black Ranger?
AUTHOR'S NOTE
Quick question: do you guys want me to put the title of the chapters before the disclaimer, or do you prefer just the disclaimer and then the story?
