Bridge: You may be able to fool some of the people all the time, or all of the people some of the time, or some of all of the people all of the time, but you can't fool me! A-Bridged
AJ Roberts was sipping a cup of Mt. Dew in the commissary when Cadet Landors and Cadet Drew came in after going to the bank robbery.
"Look, it's not that I don't like him, 'cause I do. Bridge is great it's just….I don't understand him." Landors was saying as he and the blonde stood in front of the synthetron. AJ raised an eyebrow.
"I mean, the way he's going nuts over this case, it's ridiculous. Its obvious T-Top is the one we have to catch." He told her as he pressed a button for coffee. Cadet Drew shrugged.
"Bridge has always been like that. It's just who he is. You'll get use to it." She told him, ordering a glass of water. The two rangers grabbed a table a few feet away from AJ. She looked down at her cup, not wanting to eavesdrop but not being able to control herself.
"Great, so I'm never gonna understand him?" Landors grumbled. Drew tilted her head before turning around.
"What do you think, Lieutenant? Do you think anyone will ever be able to understand Bridge?" Syd asked the brunette curiously. AJ looked up to find both of the rangers watching her expectantly. She set her cup down, thinking.
"Every ranger has certain personality traits that make up who they are, just like the rest of humanity. Rangers are just much more identifiable. Traditionally, Red's are really dedicated to the physical aspect of rangering. They also have a habit of being very broody. Blue's are the eclectic smarties while the Green and Black's are the fun-loving smarties. Blue's are also usually the shy and/or quiet ones. Yellow's are full of energy and sass. Pink's are usually the heart of the team. The sixth members can fit into any of those types. For the most part, you guys tore those types apart. Tate is more like a red ranger type. You, Landors, are more like a green or black. Bridge is more like a blue. Delgado, and you Drew, are the only ones who actually fit your types well." She explained. Landors sat his table, thinking.
"So it's normal that we don't understand Bridge?" Syd asked. AJ nodded.
"By the way, you'll probably never fully understand Carson. After all, Tommy Oliver still doesn't get Billy Cranston and they've been good friends for over thirty years." She picked her cup back up and stood.
"I have to get back to work. Talk to you later, cadets." With that, she left to find a certain green ranger.
B Squad Commons
"Cadet Carson, may I ask what all these books are for?" AJ asked when she came upon the babbling brunette.
"I have a hunch and I have to follow up on it." He replied absently. Wow, he must be concentrating really hard, I actually understood that. AJ bit her lip to keep from laughing.
"Yes, I can see that. What's this hunch you have?" she asked curiously, picking up a copy of Intergalactic Plant Life by Kinwon of KO-35.
"You're going to think it's impossible." He mumbled, finally looking up. She smiled at him.
"Nothing is impossible." She told him knowingly. Carson suddenly smiled.
"I think a plant robbed the bank." He told her in a stage whisper. AJ blinked at him. Okay, maybe I was wrong.
"Pardon?" she asked. Carson's expression fell.
"I knew you wouldn't believe me." AJ rolled her eyes.
"Cadet, do I have to order you to tell me your theory?" she asked in an amused tone. The green ranger looked at her, startled. Then he shook his head, sighing.
"I think a plant robbed the bank. At least, a plant-based life form." He told her, watching her expression. AJ thought about it and realized it wasn't as unlikely as she thought.
"There are plant-based life forms that came to earth years ago, at the behest of the Galactic Immigration Office. I suppose it's more than possible." She spoke slowly, thinking it over. The brunette brightened.
"You believe me?" he asked happily. AJ nodded, watching his face.
"Like I said, nothing is impossible." She told him and smiled at his ecstatic expression.
"However, get more evidence before you do anything rash." She warned him. Carson nodded, frowning. One of these days, I'm gong to count all his expressions, just to see how many he has. She thought absently to herself.
"The thing is, I need to get an air sample from my prime suspect." He told her in a soft whisper. AJ leaned forward, eyes twinkling. This, I can help with!
"To test lung capacity in human children, some doctors use virtual balloons." She whispered. His face lit up.
"Of course. I could ask her to blow up a balloon for me. Thank you Lieutenant." AJ nodded, grinning. She glanced at the clock.
"I need to get some work done. Good luck." She told him before walking off. He didn't hear her, too absorbed in planning his mode of attack. AJ snickered and left.
Later that night, AJ was walking past B squad commons when she heard Carson and Landors talking. She peeked through the door and smiled. The green and red rangers were standing on their heads and talking. She was just about to leave when Landors' fell. She walked away, shaking her head and laughing softly.
