Kimberly knocked on the Grayson's door. Carter got up from his seat on the living room couch and opened it.

"Hey, Kim, Trini." He greeted. He stepped aside to let them in. Kimberly came in and Trini followed.

"Hey, where's Dana?" Kimberly asked out of curiosity. Carter gave a sigh.

"In bed. She said something along the lines of baby being a pain, just like it's father." He said. Kimberly couldn't help giggle.

"Don't worry, in four months, the baby will be born and she'll be the happy Dana you fell in love with." Kimberly said. Carter sighed.

"I don't know if I can survive it." He joked. "Anyway, are you two settling into the guesthouse all right?" He asked.

"Yeah, Uncle Carter, it's really nice." Trini smiled. Carter laughed and ruffled her hair. Trini squirmed away from him.

"You don't know how much I appreciate you guys letting us stay in your guest house." Kimberly said. Carter waved his hand dismissively.

"You and Dana were best friends in college, that plus the fact that the three of us did have similar past occupations," he said, alluding to their ranger history, "makes you family." He said. Kimberly smiled.

"Well, thanks. Listen, I was wondering if you could watch Trini for a little while, I wanted to go by the hospital. You know, check to see if Jason's all right, organize my new office." Carter nodded.

"Sure, no problem." He looked at Trini. "Did you have dinner all ready?" He asked. Trini nodded. "Hmm, because I was going to make some sundaes, but if you're full, I guess not." He joked. Trini's reaction was as expected. She jumped up with glee.

"No! I'm not full." She said. Carter grinned.

"All right then, I'll go get ready, meet me in the kitchen." He said as he went to the kitchen. Kimberly knelt before Trini.

"OK, baby, mommy's going to be back in a little while, are you going to be a good girl for Uncle Carter and Aunt Dana?" She asked. Trini nodded. "That's my girl." She said, hugging her daughter. She got up and Trini ran off to the kitchen. Kimberly smiled and left.

Eric and Naomi ran into the woods.

"OK, I think we lost them." Eric said, trying to catch his breath.

"Are you sure?" Naomi asked. Just then, they heard footsteps.

"I think we lost them." Came Devin's voice. Cassidy groaned.

"We need to find them. Getting this interview can totally make me famous." Cassidy said. Eric grabbed Naomi's hand and the two took off running, trying to get as far away from Cassidy and Devin as possible.

---

"Guys, do we really need to tell Dr. O about this?" Ethan asked as Kira and Conner dragged him to the base.

"Hmm, let's see, lying to Naomi, using your ranger-ness for things other then protecting the universe, and taking out the cycle…Yep, I think we need to discuss this with him." Conner said.

"I didn't lie to Naomi." Ethan said. Kira and Conner both gave him a look. "…I just didn't tell her that I'm the blue ranger.."

"A lie by omission is still a lie." Kira pointed out. Ethan groaned.

"Come on, Dr. O's going to kill me." Ethan said.

"He won't kill you. Just nag you so bad you wish you were dead…And make you clean the zords for a week." Conner said.

"Oh, wonderful." Ethan sighed, rolling his eyes.

---

"I think we need to split up." Eric said.

"What?" Naomi asked.

"I'll go this way and make lots of noise, make them come after me, you go that way. It'll distract them."

"Are you sure?"

"Totally, go." Eric said. Naomi nodded and the two went their separate ways.

Tommy was sitting in the lab, thinking about Kimberly. He couldn't believe she was here, in Reefside, and he definitely couldn't believe she had a child. Wait, he thought. Trini's seven years old…Kimberly sent me the letter around the time she must've been pregnant with her. So, I guess that means that the guy in the letter is Trini's father. But, then- Tommy was torn from his thoughts at the sound of three sets of footsteps clamoring down the stairs into the lab. He turned to see Ethan, Conner and Kira.

"Hey guys, what's going on?" He asked.

"Dr. O, I believe Ethan has something to tell you." Kira said, nudging Ethan forward. Ethan gulped.

"Uh, Dr. O…I…….Kind of……Might've……..Taken the raptor cycle out the other night." Ethan stammered.

"What? Why?" Tommy asked.

"I met up with Naomi." Ethan said sheepishly.

"Was she being attacked?"

"Not…Exactly." Ethan said.

"What do you mean, 'not exactly'?" Tommy asked, getting the feeling he wasn't going to like this. "Was she in danger or not?"

"Well…It was…Uh…A…." Ethan began.

"Date." Conner said. Tommy's eyes widened.

"A what?"

Kimberly walked into Jason's room. It looked a lot like the one he had before, except the equipment monitoring him was far more advanced and probably expensive. She sat down beside him and took his hand in hers.

"Hey, Jason." She said. "Well, here we are in Reefside." She said. "You didn't think I'd let you be transferred without me, did you?" She asked with a smile. "Trini's doing all right. She and I are staying with some friends of mine. You know one of them, Carter Grayson, red Lightspeed Ranger. Speaking of fellow rangers, guess who else is here? Tommy. Trini and I saw him a few hours ago, in a grocery store. He asked me out to coffee. I accepted. I know, you're probably thinking 'well, duh'." She smiled. That is, if you're thinking…Kimberly thought sadly. "But, it was nice, reminded me of high school before we got together. We were both nervous, and I don't know about him, but I know I was feeling a little awkward." She said, laughing softly. She looked at Jason. He was unresponsive, the same way he's been for two years. "Jase, come on, you need to wake up." She whispered. "It's not fair, you can't die just because you were trying to help me." Tears filled her eyes. "Please." She said, sobbing softly. She held his hand up to her chin and kissed it softly. "I know you'd say it wasn't my fault, but I don't care. I know Tony cut your rope because you wouldn't tell him where I was. I know this wasn't an accident. And you need to wake up and tell me if I'm right or wrong." She sighed. "I've got to go, it's late." She got up and kissed Jason on his forehead. "I'll be back tomorrow." She promised as she left.

Naomi was running deeper into the woods, trying to escape Cassidy and Devin. She soon realized that she hadn't noticed her surroundings, and was now lost.

"Oh, wondef-OHHHHH!" She yelled as she fell into some sort of pit in the woods. She fell down and landed in some sort of cave or something. She got up and dusted herself off. "Ow." She muttered. She paused as she heard some indistinct voices in the distant. "Maybe they'll be able to tell me how to get out of here." She thought aloud as she walked in the direction of the voices.

"Of all the irresponsible, immature things to do." Tommy said to Ethan, trying to keep from being angry. There were rules to being rangers, rules that Tommy had told them, rules that several years before, Zordon had told him, and now Ethan had blatantly ignored them. It was as if Ethan was spitting on the whole ranger ideal that Zordon had created.

"I know…Dr. Oliver, I messed up." Ethan said, feeling ashamed. He sighed. "I didn't mean to."

"No, you didn't mean to get caught." Tommy said. Ethan sighed.

"OK, that too. But, ok, not that this saves my butt or anything, but Dr. O, wasn't their ever a girl in your life that you just wanted to do anything for so she'd just look your way?" He asked. Tommy sighed, of course there was. Kimberly. But that was different, Kimberly fought beside him. Nonetheless, he could relate to Ethan's plight.

"Maybe so, but Naomi isn't looking your way, she's looking the blue ranger's way." Tommy pointed out.

"Yeah, but-"

"And short of telling her who you really are, it's not going to work out the way you want it to work out." Tommy said. "And you're not going to tell her." He quickly added.

"Of course I'm not." Ethan sighed. "I just…..I mean, did you see how ecstatic she was about me…him….whatever?" Ethan asked Kira and Conner. "The fact that I made her feel that way is more then I could ask for."

"Well, all noble thoughts aside, it doesn't help your situation at all. The fact still remains that Naomi Carlton doesn't like Ethan James." Kira said.

"Besides, what are you going to do if she someday wants to kiss?" Conner asked. "Blindfold her while you take off your helmet?"

"That's not a bad idea." Ethan said.

"Ethan!" Tommy exclaimed.

"Conner, maybe your insight isn't going to help." Kira sighed. Conner rolled his eyes and stood by the wall. Kira went and stood by Tommy as the two continued barrading him.

"I don't mean to come down as the big bad dictator, but this thing with Naomi ends now." Tommy said, laying down the law. Ethan looked down. "Look, it's just going to cause you more heartache and devastation in the end. Naomi's attracted to the blue ranger."

"Gee, I didn't get that the first 100 times people said that, but now I do." Ethan grumbled. "Besides, I am the blue ranger."

"Yeah, you know that, we know that, but she doesn't." Conner's eyes widened at what he saw at the cave entrance to the base.

"Uh, guys, you sure about that?" He asked. Everyone turned to see what he was talking about. Tommy and Kira's breaths caught in their respective throats, Ethan's jaw nearly dropped. Standing at the entrance, with a shocked and confused look on her face, was Naomi.

"N-Naomi?" He managed to say.

"Y-Y-You're the blue ranger?" Naomi stammered out.
