It was March now, Tuesday, March 15th. Tommy was just about to leave school, when Connor found him.
"Hey, Dr. O, canyou sign this permit for me?"
"What's it about?"
"It's allows me to practice with the others in the mornings. Please!"
"Sure, Connor." Tommy took a quick second to sign it.
"Thanks Dr. O!" Connor ran out.
Tommy got home to hear yelling and screaming. Kimberly came out from the hallway carrying a screaming Trisha. Trisha tore herself from Kimberly and ran to Tommy. She held Tommy's legs and buried her face into his pant leg.
"What happened?"
"Your darling daughter broke the statue."
"The statue!" Kim nodded.
"I didn't mean to Daddy!" Tommy sighed and put his bags down. Trisha was lifted up into his arms.
"How did she...?"
"She used a chair."
"Trisha Rose Oliver, you know better! Daddy told you not to touch that statue!"
"But why! The wall moved."
"You shouldn't have touched it."
"But you and Mommy always touch it!" Tommy looked at her.
"Because Mommy and I can. That is for grown-ups, not a spoiled little princess." Tommy pointed to her chest and stomach. "No dessert tonight or all this week."
"WHY!"
"Because I said so! Upstairs to your room, now." Tommy kissed her cheek and put her down.
"But I did my homework!"
"Doesn't matter now princess. You are in trouble. Big trouble. Go." Trisha pouted and stomped upstairs. Kimberly leaned up against the doorway. She held her head. "Beautiful!" Tommy quickly caught her. He felt her forehead.
"You'rewarm!"
"I'm fine!" She held his arms to help steady herself. "Just a little lightheaded, it's nothing. Really."
"Let's go lay down."
"Dinner needs to be made and..."
"I'll do that." Tommy picked her up into his arms and carried her upstairs. "Where's Maddy and Mack?"
"Room, coloring, reading, whatever. Sydney has been weird since the baby talk."
"Baby talk?"
"I told her about the baby. She felt our baby boy move and kick in me."
"Is she okay?"
"I guess, she is looking at me funny now. We need to call to set up those classes again."
"Kim, we have had 4 children, now, don't you think we are set with the child birthing classes?"
"Doctor Walker still wants us doing those things."
"Fine. I'll call them, after I put you down for a short nap."
"All I seem to do is nap."
"Do you want me to call Doctor Walker?" Tommy settled her to the bed. Kim groaned. Tommy placed a pillow between her legs and for her belly. "Better?"
"A little." Tommy rubbed the tension in her back. He kissed cheek and forehead, as he used the tension balls against Kim's back, Doctor Walker suggest them long ago, when she was carrying the twins. Tommy waited and watched his wife. Tommy left Kimberly sleeping. Tommy found Sydney about to walk down the stairs.
"Whoa, baby!" Tommy quickly picked her up. "You know better! Not without your sister's help!" Sydney giggled as Tommy tickled her.
Tommy went to make dinner.
Tommy put the plates out and called the rest down to eat. Trisha sat in her chair pouting.
"If you don't stop that, then you can just go to your room."
"NO dinner!"
"Yep." Trisha unfolded her arms across her chest. "Go wake your mother."
"Why me!"
"Because I told you to." Trisha got up and stomped upstairs. "Trisha Rose Oliver, pick those damn..er...feet up now!" Mackenzie and Madison looked at their father as he corrected himself. They had smiles on their faces. Trisha did pick up her feet. Tommy kissed the twins' headsas he placed Sydney in the high chair. "Don't you two start with me." They covered their mouths with huge smiling, having heard their father curse. Trisha knocked on the door and found Kimberly in the bathroom puking.
"Mommy?" Trisha stood in the doorway to the bathroom.
"I'm fine, princess." Kimberly wiped her mouth. She had woke up from a terrible dream about losing the baby to Mesogog again. It had been a constant nightmare for a few weeks now.
"Daddy made dinner."
"Good." Kimberly stood up and brushed her teeth. Trisha took Kim's hand and pressed her head and hand to Kim's belly.
"Mommy when is the baby coming?"
"Soon, Trisha." Kim spit.
"Will he like me?"
"Of course." Kimberly put her toothbrush down after she finished.
"Will he love me?"
"From the moment he sees you." Kim patted her head and walked out the bathroom.
"You love me?" Kim quickly turned to her daughter and bent down to her level. She held her face and smiled.
"Every single day, from the first moment I saw you." Kimberly lifted Trisha up into her arms and hugged her tightly. "I love you so much. My beautiful, beautiful, baby girl." She rubbed her head against Trisha's head. Kim kissed her head. "Come, let's eat." Trisha smiled and kept her arms around Kim as they walked downstairs.

Next morning, Trent and Ethan were helping Connor practice some soccer skills. Trent was able to steal the ball from Ethan and score.
"Whoa, dude! Where did you learn those moves from?"
"I played a little soccer myself." Principal Randall walks over and demands a permit. Connor happily pulls out his letter signed by Tommy.
"I see, Dr. Oliver has saved you once again." She walked away.
At the Hayley's Cyberspace, Trent's favorite artist, Carson Brady, was there signing comic books. Principal Randall came in claiming to be a big fan and gives him a special pen.
Next day, this pen was used to turn the rangers day inside out, turning them into a comic book. The ending to the comic book, shows the rangers in trouble. Trent was looking through it and was surprised to find Dr. Oliver asking for help. Trent looks ahead to see the rangers don't survive. Trent goes to Carson and together, they change the ending after Trent reveals to Carson that he is the white ranger and his friends needs his help. Trent is able to save the rangers. Carson reveals to Trent that all their work was sponsored by Antor Mercer, which surprised Trent, since his father didn't like his comic book and drawings in the beginning.
Friday morning, Tommy woke up to find Kimberly gone from the bed. Tommy went downstairs to find his wife playing with the dogs in the backyard, tossing balls around. She was sitting at the steps.
"Morning." Kim looked back.
"Morning," she said. Tommy took a seat beside her after she moved the baby monitor.
"Why are you up so early?" Tommy took a ball and tossed it for the dogs. Kim did the same when Jack brought back one.
"Couldn't sleep with a bouncing baby." Tommy reached over and pressed his hand to her belly. He could feel the baby's head as he pressed down.
"He is up, not down."
"He hasn't moved much."
"Still got time. Doctor Walker says sometimes babies don't move from breech until a month before delivery."
"I know. Trisha didn't rotate until Doctor Walker made her, remember. I can't believe that the twins were the easiest."
"Me either, especially when you see the devils now." Tommy tossed the ball again.
"They are not devils, you spoil them!"
"You spoiled Trisha!"
"You did first!"
"I did not!"
"Yea you have! You've been spoiling her since we brought her home!"
"She is daddy's first little girl."
"See." Kim tossed the ball as well. Ducky tackled Jack for it. Tommy laughed and tossed 2 balls. Mooshu got one, as Jack fought Ducky for the second one. Tommy put his arm around Kimberly and kissed the side of her head.
At school, Ethan and Devin were playing 'Dragon Wars'. Principal Randall takes the cards. Elsa decided to make the Ruby Dragon into a monster to defeat the rangers. Tommy finds a depressed Ethan during class and then decides to help his student out by going to talk to Principal Randall at lunch break. Tommy walks into the office to see Principal Randall transform into Elsa. Elsa and Tommy battles. Students crowded around as they moved outside fighting. All the students gasp as their principal transforms into Elsa, then vanishes through an invisaportal.
Trent decides to help Ethan back and get the card from Elsa. He goes to Mesogog's island. He knew unlike the rest that Elsa was Principal Randall. Elsa and Trent battles and the Ruby Dragon is created. Elsa unleashes it on the rangers who were waiting on Trent in the woods. The rangers with Trent's help are about to defeat the monster.
They head back to school. Dr. Mercer comes and ask about the new principal job. Tommy wonders if Dr. Mercer is interested in taking up the job, but Trent protests, saying his father is a little too busy for that. Elsa sneaks the Ruby Dragon card into Mercer's pocket, so as he reaches to answer his cell phone it falls out. Ethan picks up the card.
"Hey, I know this card. How did you...?"
"I don't know. Is it yours, Trent?"
"No, Dad." Dr. Mercer could feel Mesogog coming. Tommy quickly grabbed his arm, as Dr. Mercer nearly collapsed.
"Anton, you don't look so well, let me.."
"I'm fine." Dr. Mercer walks away. "Just leave me alone." He begins to run as they follow. They found Dr. Mercer in a class room. Dr. Mercer collapses to his knees and Mesogog surfaces. Kira, Connor, Ethan and Dr. Oliver are stunned by this.
"You have betrayed me, son!"
"No, Dad, I wouldn't," Trent said.
"You lied to us!" Connor said. Dr. Mercer reappears.
"I'm sorry, Trent." His hand reaches up and he disappears into an invisiportal.
Kimberly sat on the couch with Sydney on her lap, as the rangers came by after school, minus Trent. Tommy had told her about Dr. Mercer being Mesogog and Elsa being Principal Randall.
"I knew I didn't like her for some reason."
"Beautiful, that's not the main concern here. Trent lied to us."
"He was protecting his father, Tommy."
"He lied to us! We are his teammates, he should have trusted us," Connor yelled. "How could he do that to us!"
"Calm down, Connor," Kim said. Tommy had his arm around Kimberly, his hand being held by Sydney's hands. She was playing with his hand.
"Kim's right. I am willing to give Trent a chance to explain himself. But, if he can't trust him, I'm going to ask him to give up his morpher."
"Where is Trent?"
"After school he disappeared, probably to go help Mesogog."
"He is not evil," Kira said. "Sure, he lied to us and had made mistakes, but who hasn't."
"Kira's right," Kim said. "We have to give him a chance, one chance."
"Fine."
"We'll all talk tomorrow, until then, you 3 go home and get some rest."\

Since it was Saturday, Tommy called for an early meeting. The rangers all arrived around 9 am. Kimberly opened the door for them.
"Morning, Mrs. Oliver."
"Morning, come in. I made breakfast, so I hope you all are hungry."
"Great," Connor said. They followed her into kitchen. Tommy was feeding Sydney some cereal. He was making funny noises and doing the airplane gameto help Sydney eat.
"Yum, yum, yum." Sydney smiled and ate. Tommy kissed Sydney and went back to feeding her.
"Wow, what a sight," Connor said. He laughed with Ethan. Kira simply smiled. Tommy cleared his throat and sat up straight.
"Where is Trent?"
"He's not here yet."
"Didn't you call and tell him 9?" Kim asked getting more plates down from the cabinet.
"I'll go get him," Tommy said. Tommy kissed the top of Kim's head as he left.
"What would you 3 like to drink ?"
"I'll get it," Kira said taking the plates away. "You should be resting." Connor smiled as Kim was made to sit down.
"Have you been talking to my husband!"
"Mrs. O, he would inflict serious pain,serious pain, if we allowed you to wait on us," Ethan said. "You just sit."
"Well, help yourself to whatever you want." Connor made himself a huge plate. Kimberly went to feeding Sydney. Trisha came downstairs ready to go outside.
"Mommy can I have some more juice?"
"Go ahead." Mackenzie looked up from her empty plate. The last girl to finish up. Madison upstairs looking for her handheld video game to go outside with. "You too." Mack smiled as Ethan filled her juice cup with more milk.
The rangers ate, as Kimberly took the girls outside to play for a while. Madison was playing her video game as Trisha, Sydney and Mackenzie ran around with the dogs.
"Mommy, help." She moved beside Kimberly to help her. Kimberly pulled her to her lap and they played.
"Trisha watchoutSydney!" Trisha helped Sydney back to her feet after Ducky and Jack jumped up and pushed her down.
Inside the kitchen, Connor, Ethan and Kira were talking about how far they have come since becoming rangers. They waited until everyone had left the kitchen.
"I mean, who would believe how far we have come since we first meet?"
"Especially you two," Kira said getting some more juice.
"I have changed." Connor smiled as he remember his first battle with the Tyrannodrones and his last battled against Zeltrax to save Krista.
"Yea, you have!" They all smiled. "I'm still the same, though," Ethan said. "Just the smartest and coolest Blue Ranger." Connor and Kira looked at each other.
"Your head has definately swelled," Connor said. Ethan kicked his feet up on the table.
"Hey, but what about Dr. Oliver. Can you believe our science teacher was a legendary Power Ranger?" They all smiled as flashes of finding out Tommy was a former ranger and when he first morphed into the Black ranger.
"That is pretty sweet."
"It hasn't all been sweet. I mean, we almost lost Trent because of the white gem's spell," Kira said. "Don't you think he deserves one chance to explain himself?" Ethan and Connor nodded.
Tommy arrived with Trent. He found his wife and children outside playing.
"Where are they?"
"The lab," Kim said looking up from the video game. "Hey, Trent."
"Hey, Mrs. Oliver."
"Go on down, they are waiting." Tommy led the way. Trent finds the Rangers talking about him.
"I just can't believe he lied to us," Connor said.
"It hasn't been easy," Trent said. Trent told them how the white gem chose and how he discovered his father's secret. "I believe that my father could get rid of Mesogog. I promise him to keep that secret, because I felt like he could handle it. He's my father."
"I knew Dr. Mercer, Trent. He was, is a great friend. I understand your loyalty for him, but..if we can't trust you. We are not a team." A monster appeared on screen. Trent joins the rangers and ends up saving Connor from a powerful blow. As a team, the rangers defeated the monster and return back to Dr. Oliver's house.
"Good job, Trent," Kira said, as Ethan and her are congratulating him on a great job. Both Kira and Ethan vote Trent to the team. Dr. Oliver agrees and looks at Connor.
"Connor, how do you feel?"
"You know one of these days we are going to have to face Mesogog. Can you do that? Are you willing to do that? Will you help us and defeat him?" Connor asked. He wasn't too happy to find his friends and Dr. Oliver had opened their arms for Trent again so quickly after battle.
"If Mesogog's wins. I lose my father forever. I can't allow that. I won't. I will do whatever it takes to defeat Mesogog. It's the only way to save my father."
