Disclaimers: I don't own Power Rangers or sock puppets.

A/N: This was going to be a one-shot, but what the hell. More chapters to come.

Chapter 2

"Hello!" Bridge said to the three in the common room. Syd, Z, and Jack, who were all sitting down, looked up at Bridge.

"Hi, Bridge," Z greeted.

Bridge walked into the common room with his hands held up. "What are those?" Jack asked, pointing at sock puppets.

Bridge smiled and said, "This is Avian and Aussa. They're some new friends I made."

"Hi, Avian and Assua. How are you guys?" Syd asked.

"I'm good," Avian answered. Then Aussa said, "Hey, pretty lady." Syd turned a light shade of red.

"Aussa..." Bridge warned.

The puppet looked at him. "What?" he asked innocently.

Bridge shook his head. "Never mind. Let's go and get something to eat."

Syd, Jack, and Z all looked at each other. "I think Bridge has finally snapped," Jack said, leaning back into his chair.

"Maybe he's lonely and he wants someone on his level to talk to," Z suggested.

"Maybe he's drunk," Syd said, running her hands through her hair. Jack and Z looked at her and laughed.

Bridge was walking down the hallway, talking to the puppets, when Cruger came out of a nearby room. Bridge stopped a few feet from Cruger.

"Carson, what are you doing?" he asked, looking at his sock puppets.

Bridge smiled and said, "Talking to my new friends, Avian and Aussa." Bridge held up his hands to show them to Cruger. Cruger gave a nod of his head.

"Why do you have sock puppets?"

Bridge crossed his arms and said, "Sky won't let me finger paint."

"So why are you using Cadet Tate's socks for puppets?"

"He wasn't wearing them."

Cruger looked at him. "Cary on, cadet." Then he walked away, so Bridge resumed his walk to the dinning area.

"So what do you guys want to eat?" Bridge asked his new friends.

"Lets get takeout," Avian said, looking up at Bridge.

Bridge smiled at him. "Okay. Where do you want to go?"

Aussa spoke up. "Let's get Chinese."

"All right. Chinese it is." With that settled, they went to the front door and left the base.
