Vida looked up from her conversation with Z in time to notice that Nick was staring at her sister and began to wonder what he was thinking.
Then the SPD ranger's communicators started to go off.
"Commander Cruger…" a female voice said over the communication line
"Go ahead Cadet Manx" he replied
"Where are you sir?" she asked
Cruger told her to wait where she was that he'd find her; then left with Sky close at his heals. Nick didn't know why Sky was in such a hurry to leave, but was glad he was going.
Bridge looked over his shoulder at Nick and realized that Nick had been watching him for the last twenty minutes or so.
"Gee, I wonder what his problem is." Bridge wondered.
"I don't know" Madison replied
A few minutes later and Sky and Cruger returned with about four other teens that soon fanned out among those that were already there and started to socialize.
One of the girls stuck close to Sky, and Nick wondered if she was his girlfriend, he had no idea that the truth was she was Sky's wife.
Kat looked up and noticed her daughter standing with Sky and felt relieved that she now had proof that her daughter was just fine… or was she? That was yet to be seen. All Kat knew was her daughter was there and seemed okay on the surface
A few minutes later and Kathleen had drifted off to join the conversation brewing between Z and Vida, and Madison walked over to him (Nick) with a few questions.
"Nick, why have you been watching me?" she asked
"I just wanted to make sure you were going to be safe…" Nick said
Madison said nothing; it seemed suspicious that he was being so protective of her all of a sudden.
After a while, everyone decided it was time to leave Rootcore and head out into the city to find something to waist time with.
Kathleen, Vida and Z went to Rock Porium and Vida played them her latest mix c.d.
"What do you think?" Vida asked
"It's awesome" Z replied
"I couldn't agree more!" Kathleen said happily as the music continued.
"Kathleen, you're always bragging about how good you are behind the turntables, why don't you go on and put your money where your mouth is!" Z challenged
"Go ahead, I'd love to hear your style!" Vida said
"Okay… you got it!" Kathleen smirked and headed to the turntables and started going through a rack of records while Vida's mix continued to play until she was ready to show her stuff.
She picked out a couple of records that she liked and put them on the turntables with then stopped Vida's CD to start her own mixing.
"Whoa… this bumps!" Vida exclaimed as Kathleen started her mix work having a truly good time and was now in the 'zone' when suddenly Vida's morpher went off.
"That's Udonna, let's go" Vida sighed
The rangers arrived at Rootcore to find out that the strange robots were attacking again along with the Hidiacs.
"No one ever told us what those robot-things are," Xander pointed out
"They're Krybots" Sky said
"And the really ugly things are…" Syd started
"Hidiacs" Madison said in disgust
The rangers left to try and stop the attack and Udonna sighed… Kat had been the only one to remain at Rootcore as she felt the rest could handle this without her help.
The rangers found this battle a challenge but the monsters easily defeated.
They returned to Rootcore and Kathleen began to get dizzy for no apparent reason which concerned her husband along with everyone else. She stumbled and Sky caught her before she could hit the ground and placed her in the nearest chair. Everyone was worried as to why a seemingly healthy young woman would faint out of the blue.
Kathleen had a major secret hidden within her that even she didn't know about yet and it would come as a surprise to everyone.
Kat seemed extremely stressed, as any mother in her position would be when there was something mysterious wrong with their daughter.
"Kathleen, do you have any idea what might have caused this?" Sky asked
"No, I have no idea" Kathleen replied understandably shaken by what had just happened.
Udonna came forward to talk with Kathleen and try to figure out what was wrong with her, and Sky began to pace the floor over by the brooms. He would have never told it to a living soul but he was terrified for his wife, he had no idea what was wrong with her… but the more he thought about what was happening the worse the probable cause seemed to him.
Then Udonna called him over to where she and Kathleen were and then they went into a private area and Kat and Cruger made sure no one was eavesdropping on the conversation between the three of them… it was up to them to tell the rest what was going on.
"Well, do we know what's wrong with Kathleen?" Sky asked in nervous agitation
"Yes, Sky, but I believe she will want to tell you this." Udonna said "I will leave to let you two have some privacy" Udonna left and Kathleen looked at Sky nervously.
"Sky, you… you remember how we were talking about having children someday?" Kathleen asked
"Yes, what about it?" Sky asked
"Well, I guess someday has come sooner than we thought… Sky, I'm pregnant"
