Chapter 5 - Animal Instincts

Kim and Ron sat in there usual booth. In front of her was a chimmerito , which had been half-eaten. Meanwhile Ron was going to town on the two nacos on his tray.

Sitting across from them was a woman with strawberry blonde hair and a cheerleading uniform which looked to be a little small for her adult frame.

As they ate , the teens watched woman pick at the item before her , almost like she was examining it .

"Are you sure this is edible ?"

"Of course , it is ." Ron's reassurance was muffled ; he still had some of his own naco in his mouth.

Kim whipped her head toward her friend. "Ron , manners!"

"Sorry K.P." He swallowed the food. "Like I said , it's not only safe to eat , but it's delicious."

Kim jerked her thumb to him . "Ron created it , you know ."

"No ." Gadget couldn't believe her ears .

Kim nodded . "Yes ."

Gadget took a bite out of the naco and swallowed it . "Golly , this is good ."

"Yeah . You know , this would've been pretty hard to eat as a mouse."

"So , what was it like ?"

"What was what like , Ron ?"

"Being a mouse ."

"Well it was exciting , but kind of dangerous ." Kim turned to the woman across from her. "I don't know how you do it , Gadget ."

"It's a little hard , avoiding humans and all , but it can be a lot of fun .

Ron leaned in . "And you go around the world helping people ? That's amazing ."

"I know ." The former mouse let out a sigh .

"Let me tell you . As ...interesting as it was being a mouse , I'm glad to be me again . I didn't want to have to explain or have someone else explain how I became an animal ."

Ron turned to face his friend . "Still , that was pretty funny when you became a goldfish. It's a good thing we were near that fountain in the park ."

"Well how about you ? Talk about a frog prince ."

"I didn't turn into a prince , but you still kissed me . That was nice ."

"Then there was the squirrel phase ," the former mouse offered .

"Yeah , Kim . We had a hard time getting you down ."

"Well... I found the best acorn and this chipmunk took it from me . No way I'm gonna let that go ."

Gadget breathed a heavy sigh . Kim rubbed her hand . "You miss him , don't you?"

"I miss all of them , but him in particular ."

"Who's him ?"

"Girl talk ."

"Oh . Gotcha ." Ron turned away .

"Remember what I said , about regret ?"

The former mouse banged her fist on the table . "I'll do it ." She picked up the naco and took another bite .

"There sure is a lot of cheese in this thing . It kind of reminds me of Monty."

"Who's Monty ?"

"Monterey Jack . He...has some cheese issues ."

"He's lactose-intolerant ?"

"Oh , no . The opposite actually . One whiff of cheese and he loses control . There's no way he could get within twenty feet of this place ."

"I don't know . I mean , they let him within twenty feet . Ron pointed to Rufus, who had made a mess of the extra cheesy nacho plate in the center of the table .

"Good point . You know , this has been fun , being a human , but I think I ought to get back to my original form."

Gadget considered this a once in a lifetime opportunity . A number of people couldn't help but stare at her . As a human , she was quite attractive . Even so , she wasn't sure how the other Rangers would react to seeing her like this .

"Do you think I could get one of these, to go ?"

"Not a problem ." Ron arose from his seat ."

"I really need to thank you for your help , Gadget ."

The two women stood up . "It's no problem , Kim . Whether you're a girl or a mouse , there's something you can do ."

The redhead hugged the blonde . At that moment , Ron came back with a bag . "One naco to go . Extra cheesy ."

"Thanks ." Gadget took the bag from Ron and kissed him on the cheek . The boy looked a little lost , until Kim nudged him in the gut .

Rufus looked at Gadget walking out the door , followed by Kim and Ron . He jumped off the table and hurried after them .

"By the way , I think you ought to give me the penlight ."

Kim's eyebrows shot up . "Are you sure about that , Gadget ? I mean , it's pretty dangerous , and don't you want to be changed back ?"

"I am , I know and I do . I just have...a feeling , like it could be useful . Drakken may have built it out of spare parts , and who knows ? Some of these parts could help fix the Ranger Wing ."

The plane is under her arm , having retrieved it not long after leaving the high school . Climbing trees as a human was unusual...and a bit more strenuous .

"I don't know..."

Gadget put her hand on the redhead's shoulder . "Kim , trust me."

Kim took a breath . "Okay ." She pulled out the penlight and aimed it at Gadget .

Ron put his hand up . "Wait !"

"What is it ?"

Ron handed her a napkin . "You might need this ."

With a smile , Gadget took the napkin . The young woman closed her eyes as the red light from the device engulfed her . She let out a groan as her body shrunk , her bones reforming .

The cheerleading outfit fell to the ground. From out of it crawled a mouse . One of Ron's other transformations on the road back to humanity was a mouse. Gadget made a mark for such an occasion .

Taking note of her unclothed form , she blushed and grabbed the napkin , wrapping it around her body . She offered the humans a smile .

XxXxXxXxX

It took Gadget roughly a half-hour to repair the Ranger Wing . To her relief , it was mainly exterior damage to the wing , but the engine needed some patching . Destroying the penlight and repairing the plane effectively killed two birds with one stone .

She started the ignition on the plane .

A sigh of contentment escapes her lips as the craft lifts into the sky .

Carrying the takeout bag weighed the plane down a bit , but it managed to get airborne.

"So long , and thanks for all your help."

Rufus jumps from Ron's pocket and waves . "Goodbye! It was good meeting you . Take care !" To Kim and Ron , however, the farewell sounds like "Ho ! Bye-bye !"

The redhead looks back at her friend .

"This has been one weird day ."

"Yeah . Kind of fun , I admit , but weird. Who knew that Drakken had so many settings on that penlight of his ?"

"Speaking of Drakken , where is he ?"

"Well , he's...getting a new perspective on things ."

"This didn't have anything to do with that trip to the post office , did it ?"

"It's a possibility . Now , come on ." She heads down the street . "Let's go home , monkey boy ."

"You got it , mouse girl ."

In an abandoned warehouse in Lowerton, a bespectacled groaned while thumbing through various blueprints . Given the mess the place was , this suggested either a brilliant but disorganized mind...or that he had a plan thwarted by some unseen threat .

He heard a thump outside his door .

"Now who in the world could that be ? Lousy kids and their pranks . "

XxXxXxXxX

The door opened and the man stepped out . He looked around for any intruders . Instead , he found a package with air holes in it . It was addressed to 'Professor Norton Nimnul' , care of this location , but there didn't seem to be a return address . Shifting his eyes left and right , he took the package inside .

XxXxXxXxX

"Who would send me something ? Who would even know I'm here ?" He set the box down on the table and opened it . Inside was a cage containing two mice .

The pale green mouse seemed to be glaring at the blue one .

"What a pleasant surprise . These will make great guinea pigs in stopping those accursed rodents ." Nimnull started to cackle madly .

"This cannot be happening ."

The blue mouse rolled his eyes . "I hate irony ."

THE END.
