Original characters still belong to Fox Kids, Haim Saban, and Disney. I can only claim Gragon and the Crangons.

Meanwhile, Conner McKnight was talking to his best friends and fellow teammates, Ethan James and Trent Fernandez.

"So, are you guys taking anyone to the dance?" Conner asked.

"No. I haven't really found someone I want to ask," Trent replied.

"And I don't think anyone's gonna want to go with me," Ethan replied.

"Dude, then it's their loss," Conner declared, placing a hand on his friend's shoulder.

"Well, hey. What about Cassidy?" Trent suggested.

"Cassidy and I are just friends," Ethan protested.

"There's nothing wrong with going to a dance with a friend," a voice told them. The threesome turned around to see their science teacher.

"Dr. O, you've been eavesdropping," Ethan scolded.

"Sorry," Dr. Oliver apologized. Then, "I'm serious Ethan. It's okay to go to a dance with a friend. Heck, I've done it before."

"Yeah, okay," Ethan said. "I think I'll ask her. The worst she could do is say no," he continued.

"Conner, do you have someone you want to ask?" Trent wondered.

"I was thinking of asking Krista,"

"Krista?" Ethan, Trent, and Dr. Oliver repeated.

"Yeah. I mean, I know she's not my usual type and all, but…she makes feel different," Conner replied.

"Aw, our little Conner's growing up," Ethan teased. Trent and Dr. Oliver laughed as Conner whacked him on the arm. Then, the bell rang.

"Okay, guys. Time to go," Dr. Oliver told them. With that, they all headed into their class.
