Chapter One: I've Seen You Before

"Man, I need help," Conner said, throwing his pencil down on his math book in frustration.

"We all know that," Ethan joked, not bothering to look up from his laptop, being too engrossed some game. Conner glared at him and Kira surpressed a giggle. They were all at the usual hangout, Hayley's Cyberspace, working on the load of homework thier kind teachers had given them for the beginning of the week. Trent came over with their drinks and sat down between Conner and Kira.

"Mondays suck," Conner continued to complain. He looked over Ethan's shoulder to the screen Ethan's eyes were glued to and waited a moment until he pushed some random buttons causing Ethan's game to restart.

"Conner," Now it was Ethan's turn to whine. "I was almost finished with that level."

"Told you Mondays suck," Conner replied, with a solemn look. Kira and Trent exchanged glances and shook their heads.

Trent eyed Conner suspiciously. "Was soccer cancelled?"'

"YES," Conner spat. "And from fighting those stupid triptoids all weekend, it messed up my extra practice I wanted."

"Hey I didn't get to practice for my gig either, but I still lived," Kira said. She grabbed Conner's paper and looked at the problem he was on. Erasing something and scribbling back on it she handed it back to him. "Here,"

Conner took the paper back and looked at it. "Am I really that stupid?"

Ethan began to open his mouth.

"Shut up," Conner pointed before any smart reply came back.

Suddenly Conner's communicator went off. "What's up Dr. O?" he answered. Listening to the response, his eye widened. "I'll be right there."

"What's wrong?" asked Kira in alarm. She began to get up out of her chair as well. Ethan an Trent following.

"I'll tell you all later," Conner said, swinging his bag over one shoulder and grabbing his books. With that he was gone.

The rest were left there standing. "I wonder what's going on," Kira sat down.

Ethan shrugged. "Guess we'll find out soon enough," He went back to being engrossed in his game.

"I'd better get back to work," Trent sighed and began to walk away to the front. But before he turned something caught his eye. "Hey, what's Conner doing back so soon?"

Ethan and Kira looked up. "I dunno," Ethan shrugged. "Maybe it wasn't that important after all."

Kira thought for a moment. She looked over at Trent. "Since when does Conner wear something like that?"

"Maybe he got dirty and that's all he had," Ethan replied, not looking up to notice the change. Kira huffed and rolled her eyes. "Hey!" she waved Conner over. "We thought you had to go."

Conner gave her a weird look. "Do I know you?" he said slowly.

"What are you talking about?" Kira put her hands on her hips with an 'are you kidding me' look.

"So what did Dr. O want?" Trent asked. Conner gave him the same look and said, "Who?"

This was bad. Conner didn't remember them or anything. "Yeah, yeah, play all innocent to make up for ruining my game," Ethan waved him off.

Conner still had the same expression. Just then, Cassidy and Devin walked in, and Cassidy ran into Conner.

"Watch it!" Conner grumbled.

"Um, hello? You're standing in the middle of the way," Cassidy retorted. She looked at him, practically snorting. "And why in the world are you wearing that?"

Conner looked at her and then back down at his "skater" like clothes. "I always wear this," he said matter-of-factly.

"Yeah, sure," Cassidy nodded. She began to walk away. "Devin?! Are you coming?!"

"Sorry!" Devin ran past Conner with his camera, almost tripping over a chair.

"Hurry up!" Cassidy shook her head and threw her hands up in disgust.

Conner stared on at the two for a few seconds then turned back to the rangers. He was still recieving odd looks from Kira and Trent. "Conner, this isn't funny," Kira decided to stop this once and for all.

"Did you just call me Conner?!"

"Hey guys!" Conner walked in happy as a jay bird. Kira, Trent and even Ethan looked up at Conner. Then back at the other Conner.

"Did Dr. O clone you?!" Ethan asked incrediously. "Wow..."

"What are you talking about..." the Conner who just came in said, giving Ethan a crazy look. He then realized what Ethan was talking about. He looked up and saw himself.
