Normal POV
Six twenty-nine am inside Tracy's room D.E.C.A notices her tossing and turning violently and her sensor pick up that her mumbling in her sleep Mike stay away I don't want to fight you. In Tracy's dream, she is being chased down the halls of the Mega ship. She turns around to see Mike holding his blaster like in her previous nightmares aimed at her chest. The odd thing in this nightmare, however, Kira is with him and is now threatening that she will use weapons to finish her as well if she doesn't surrender her gem. Luckily for her the nightmare ends a few seconds later thanks to D.E.C.A calling to her telling her to wake up. When she does Tracy's eyes dart open and she screams loudly while the cold sweat along with a few tears rolls down her face to land on the covers.
"Tracy, are you alright, it sounded like you were having quite a nightmare." D.E.C.A says.
"I was, but I don't understand why Kira was in it. What time is it?" Tracy says.
"6:30 am," D.E.C.A says.
"I guess that I'll go get some breakfast since I'm awake," Tracy says.
She uses the covers to dry her face off before getting out of bed. Yesterday at the mall Cassie was able to convince Tracy to do a little clothes shopping to buy a new outfit to wear so she would blend in more while she was here waiting for Alpha to finish fixing the machine. Her outfit is a navy sweatshirt with a hood, a pair of faded light blue Diem jeans and some white flats that have a lace-like appearance. She goes over to the desk to grab the necklace (one side the charm looks like a branch the leaves the other side some of the chain goes through one of the leaves and has a little bird hanging off the end). Her new bag is sitting on the desk too (it's gray and has a unique pattern on it). She pulls her hair into a ponytail so it wouldn't get tangled in the necklace chain while she put it on. She decides to leave her hair up and walks out of the room.
Tracy goes to the part of the ship were the food synthetron is. She presses a button to get a healthy breakfast. She opens the door and takes out a plate with a breakfast burrito topped with some avocado and a glass of milk. She sits down at the table and starts eating. Ten minutes later she finished eating and goes back to her room.
Dr. Oliver's house 2004
Back in Reefside, Benjamin and Christi pull into Dr. Oliver's driveway. A few seconds later Aaleahya and Galan pull in behind them. The men turn off their cars. Everyone gets out and meet up a few feet away from the front steps. Christi is wearing a three-quarter sleeve white blouse, light blue Diem jeans, a suede jacket, and a pair of flats with blue flowers on the toes. She is loosely carrying her purse on her right shoulder. Benjamin is wearing a blue Merona button down shirt; dark blue boot cut Diem jeans, and a pair of light brown casual Ox Cole Haan Air Colton loafers. Aaleahya is wearing a v neck button-down pink shirt, a nice pair of matching slacks, and a pair of flats with roses on the toes. She also is carrying a rose red handbag. Galen is wearing a plain button down shirt, dark khaki jeans, black loafers and wristwatch on his left wrist. Galen and Benjamin hear their wife let out a nervous sigh.
"Come down, honey, you know our daughter is a good kid," Benjamin says reassuringly.
"I know sweetie. Why did Dr. Oliver call us then?" Christi asks.
"I guess we'll find out after we go inside." Benjamin answers.
The group walks up the steps. Inside the house, Dr. Oliver is sitting on the couch. He couldn't believe what he is about to do, but deep down inside he knew that Tracy and Mike's parent deserve to know what really happened to their kids. He gets up when he hears a knock at his front door. When he opens the door, he sees Tracy and Mike's parent dressed like they were at the last parent teacher conference.
"I'm glad you could make it. Please come in, and I'll explain why I called you here." Dr. Oliver says.

Tracy finished eating her breakfast. She gets up from the table and goes back to her room. She walks to the desk and picks up her bag. She looks down at her gem and sighs sadly.
I can't believe that Rita's beam was able to cut off my morphing powers. Now, how can I call myself a Power Ranger? Maybe I should just give up I'll never fight as the pink ranger again. Tracy thinks.
Tracy shakes her head and tries to shake off her last thought. She remembers what Dr. Oliver told her a real Power Rangers never gives up and keeps fighting whether they have their powers or not. She still feels worthless even after she remembered those encouraging words from her mentor. She looks back up. She places her left hand over her bracelet, and slowly removes it to put it in her bag.
"Tracy, why did you just take off your communicator?" D.E.C.A asks.
"It doesn't belong on my wrist anymore," Tracy says sadly.
She leaves her room for the second time and goes back to where the jump tubes are. She goes over to the tube. She mimics the Space Ranger's motions before she jumps into the pink tube. She sits down on the inside of it for a few seconds.
"Where are you going?" D.E.C.A asks.
"The park, I want to be alone," Tracy answers.
"You shouldn't go off alone. You're injured." D.E.C.A reminds her.
"I'm fine D.E.C.A, stop worrying about me. You should just focus your concern on someone else." Tracy snaps.
She quickly slides down the tube before D.E.C.A is able to say another word. When she reaches the end Tracy feels herself being teleported to the park.
Dr. Oliver's house 2004
Dr. Oliver's POV
I lead Tracy and Mike's parents to the kitchen. We sit down at the new kitchen table, I bought two weeks ago. An awkward silence fills the room and lasts for a few minutes till I break it by clearing the nervous lump in my throat.
"I'm sure that you are aware the monster attacks that have been happening over the past few months?" I ask.
"Yes, so what does this have to do with our kids?" Galen asks.
"There is no way to ease into this, so I'm just going to come right out and say it. Mike and Tracy are power rangers."
"How did it happen?" Christi asks.
"Well, Mrs. Burlew, Tracy found her the pink gem at the bus stop the day you moved here."
"What about our son, how did he get involved in this?" Galen asks.
"During Spring break, while he and Tracy were taking their walk through the woods. They found the green gem."
"Who exactly are our kids fighting against?" Benjamin asks.
"Mesogog, he wants to return the earth to the way it was when the dinosaurs ruled."
"Where are our kids now?" Christi asks.
"During the last battle against one Mesogog's monsters. His henchman Elsa created a machine that opened a time portal. I'm afraid they got sucked into it, so to be completely honest, I don't know."
"I still can't believe that our kids are rangers." Aaleahya says.
"I'm not all that surprised; I knew that our daughter was meant to be part of something bigger. I never thought that she would be a power ranger." Christi says.
"What do you mean by you always knew that Tracy was meant to be part of something bigger."
Benjamin takes out his wallet. He takes a picture out it, and set it on the table. We look down at it to see a tiny baby inside a ventilator. I read the caption under it, Tracy A Burlew our baby girl Date of birth 9/8/91 1lb 5oz and 11 inches long.
"Wow, if she was that tiny. When did you have her?" Aaleahya asks.
"26 weeks," Christi says.
"Wow, is a miracle that she is even here." Aaleahya says.
"Yes, school has been tough for her. She was in special Ed till she started sixth grade." Christi says.
"I have a feeling that you're really proud of her for graduating even more than other parents."
"Yes, considering that doctor said that she wouldn't even survive." Christi says.
Angel Grove 1999
Normal POV
Back on the Megaship, the others had breakfast. Kira is wearing the new clothes she bought yesterday that matched her usual style just with clothes from this time period.
"HI, Kira," Andros says.
"Hey," Kira says.
"Have you seen Tracy?" Andros asks.
"No, it's not like her to get up early." Kira asks.
"Where is she?" Cassie asks.
"She went to the park thirty minutes ago." D.E.C.A says.
"Why?" Ashley asks.
"I have a pretty good idea. I'll go bring her back." Kira says.
"You sure that you don't want one of us to go with you," Carlos offers.
"Yes, I'm sure. I think its best that one of her teammates talk to her." Kira says.
She goes over to the jump tubes, and goes inside one. She lands in the park and goes off to find Tracy. She finds her sitting on the same tree where they hid the machine. Tracy looks up at her when she hears her teammate walk up.
"Hey, Kira, Why did you come out here?" Tracy asks.
"We aren't allowed to talk to each other anymore?" Kira jokes.
Kira's POV
Tracy tries not to laugh at my decent attempt at telling a joke. She cracks a small smile as I come over to sit down next to her.
"I guess I did okay with telling that last joke?" I ask.
"Yes, so what did you want to talk about?" Tracy says.
"What you're doing out here alone for one,"
"I had that nightmare again, but it was worse this time." Tracy says.
"How,"
"You were in it and fighting alongside Mike." Tracy says.
"Why would I be fighting alongside Mike? I didn't get turned evil."
"I know, but you believe me about Rita's spell turning Mike evil, don't you." Tracy says.
"Yes, but are you thinking that the more people that believe you. They'll team up with Mike in the nightmare."
"From the one I just had, I'd say that would be a yes." Tracy says.
"You aren't thinking about not telling the others about Mike when we get back?"
"No, we can tell them. I just won't tell them about my nightmares. Hayley will have her work cut out for her since she has to figure out how to unblock my powers." Tracy says.
I look down at her right wrist and didn't see her gem. I'm hoping that she just left it back on the ship before she left. I was about to ask her another question before I hear it go off inside her bag. She takes it out and I lift mine to my mouth.
"What's wrong, Alpha?"
"There is an attack downtown. Andros and the others already left." Alpha says.
"Okay, Alpha, I'm on my way."
I lower my left wrist while Tracy puts her gem back inside her bag. I rush off to help the others while Alpha teleports Tracy back to the ship.
Tracy's POV
I land on the bridge and sit down in one of the chairs in front of the control of the ship. I see the monster on the main screen that Alpha told Kira and me about. It looks like an owl and it stands on two feet like a human. I feel even more useless than before. I know that I couldn't fight because of the bruise on my arm, but I hated watching them struggle against it. I turn to my left to see Alpha working the machine. I wanted to ask him how it was coming along, but I decided not to bother him since fixing it was more important right now than trying to unblock my power since without it we wouldn't be able to get back home. I just turn back around and start spinning around in my chair. I try to find a spot to focus on to prevent myself from getting dizzy. I spin around ten times, before I start to get bored. I set my feet down on the floor to stop it from spinning. I try to stand up, but I immediately start to fall backwards. I grab the chair to catch myself, but it slides to the left. I groan as I hit the floor with a thump.
That didn't go as well as I planned.
Alpha walks over to me. I look up at him and I take hold of his hand as he helps me back up. He helps me over to the chair.
"Are you okay?" Alpha asks.
"Yes, I got a little dizzy." I answer.
"I'll have the machine done once the rangers get back from this battle." Alpha says.
"That's great," I exclaim.
Alpha goes back over to the machine. I turn the chair around to face the main screen to watch the battle to see the monster grow big and the space rangers call for their zords. D.E.C.A teleports Mike and Kira back to the ship. They demorph and walk over to me.
"I have good new guys. We'll be heading home soon." I say.
"That's awesome," Kira says.
Normal POV
A few minutes later, the Space rangers return. The two teams meet up in the middle of the room. Alpha hands the machine to Kira.
"Tracy, I have something to give you?" Andros says.
"Really, what is it?" Tracy asks.
Andros reaches into his pocket. He hands her one of the space rangers' communicators and a disk with the video on it that Alpha found yesterday.
"Thank you, I'm sure that the video will help me explain to the rest of our team why I can't morph." Tracy says.
"Why did you give Tracy a communicator?" Kira asks.
"It's so she still can have a way to communicate with the rest of you while Hayley figures out how to unblock her powers." Andros says.
"Thank you again, Andros for everything." Tracy says.
"You're welcome," Andros says.
The Dino Rangers say goodbye to the Space Rangers before Kira turns on the machine. They watch the time portal open up in front of them. Kira, Mike and Tracy walk into it and the Space rangers watch the portal close quickly as Tracy gets completely inside.
"I hope that they make it back to whatever time they are from." Andros says.
