A/N: Okay, so there were a few people who wanted to see past Kim in the future, so I caved and gave in. Another interlude. I hope the whole Zeltrax thing comes as surprise. It's probably not even that good. Sorry. It's not that believable. Again sorry. This takes place a day after past Kim arrives.
"Achoo!" Kira sneezed as she snuggled deeper under the covers. She was sick. At least that what she had been told. Nothing more than a cold, but sick enough to get to stay home. Home. It had been a very long time since she really called any place home. She sighed and smirked. Jason had to call both Kim and her in sick. That phone call was something that had gotten her out of bed, even if her head really did feel like it was falling apart. She peaked her head out of the covers when there was a knock at the door.
The teenage Kim stuck her head in the door. "Hey."
Kira smiled. "Hey." She sat up. "What's up?"
Kim shrugged. "I was wondering if you were feeling any better." She offered. Plus, she was bored. And curious. She had seen pictures that was in her future selves house. But that wasn't like hearing about it.
"I'm fine." Kira smiled at her concern. Maybe, her past and present selves weren't so different. "What do you want to know?" She slid over to one side of the bed to let Kim sit down.
Kim took up her offer and at beside her. "What am I like?"
Kira sighed and took a sip of the water bottle beside her. "You're... You're... Well, you're a teacher." At Kim's look, she elaborated. "You're an adult at times, and you kinda act like a teenager at other times. Just like Jason." Kira smirked. "Or maybe I should say Coach Scott."
"I'm a teacher?" Kim wasn't sure what to make of that. A teacher of what? The only thing that came to mind was gymnastics.
"You're my science teacher." Kira informed her.
Science teacher? That wasn't what she was expecting.
"Yep." Kira replied to the other teens silent question. "Plus, you are a pink ranger."
Kim's eyes shot straight at her. "I'm still the pink ranger." She said.
Kira made a sort of move with her hand. "You are a pink ranger, just not the one you are know." Kim's expression prompted her to explain. "You are the pink dino thunder ranger." She lifted her wrist to show her bracelet. A moment later it had changed in to the morpher.
"You're yellow?" Kim asked. At Kira's nod she decided to ask farther. "And Jason..." She left at lot of room for an explanation.
"Black." Was the one word answer. Kira was feeling much better. "Come on. Let's get something to eat." She hopped out of bed, intent on getting a couple of Tylenol as well as a sandwich.
"Homework." Kira stated as Ethan laid the books on the table in front of her.
Ethan grinned. "It's my way of saying get well soon."
Kira blinked. Someway of saying that. "You know, chocolate say that even better."
"I did all you assignments. All you have to do is sign your name." He watched her reaction.
A genuine smile came over her face. "Chocolate means nothing to be."
"Hey!" Conner called out from his place on the couch. "How come she doesn't have to do her work!"
Ethan grinned. This was another reason that he did Kira's homework for her. For Conner's reaction. "Because, she's sick."
Kim had to laugh at them.
Conner mumbled something about double standards, an annoying yellowing ranger, and not even sick. He reached for some chips from the bag that Kira was holding. She pulled it out of his reach. Conner frowned. "You're tryin' to Bogart the cheesy chips. What's that about?"
Kira grinned at the annoyed red ranger. "I don't want to spread the germs."
Conner snorted in an I-don't-care way and grabbed some chips. "How did you get sick anyways?"
Kira grabbed a tissue, just a moment before sneezing. "I blame it on Coach Scott."
"Jason?" Kim asked. Why?
As if reading her mind, Kira replied. "He's the one who kicked me out of the house. I got caught in the rain coming home."
Conner frowned. "Why did you call me? Or take Dr. H's jeep?"
"One, I left my cell inside and didn't think of it till it was to late and two, Ethan has Kim's jeep." Kira glared. She was feeling irritable. It showed.
Kim was about to say something, but Ethan stopped her. "Ignore her."
"Whatever." The teenage yellow ranger mumbled, leaning back. She suddenly perked up, remembering something Ethan had told her yesterday. "So, Conner... Ethan told me you got a new girlfriend."
Conner, surprisingly, blushed. Something few had ever seen. "She's not my girlfriend."
Ethan grinned. "She couldn't speak a word of English."
"So?" The red ranger replied.
Ethan snorted. "You couldn't understand a word she said."
He grinned and pulled a book out of his bag. "I've been practicing. Try me." He passed the book to Kira. "Uh... bra ist un caparu. Love is our language."
Kira smirked. "Actually, love is your sandwich, but thanks for playing." She passed the book back.
"Whatever, OK? We shared this thing... this, ummm, cosmic connection." Conner frowned and to the book from her with a jerk.
Kira blew a raspberry at him.
"You shared half an hour and a coffee." The blue ranger replied.
Conner glared at his fellow rangers. He sat down beside Kim. "Ist bra limolay? What do you know about love?"
Kira rolled her eyes. This was such a him thing. He was going to start picking up girls in another language. If he could ever get it right. "Conner, you're hopeless. You can barely conjugate English..."
"Who cares about being grammatically correct. I'm in love..." He passed the book to Kim, hoping she would help. "Help?"
Kim hesitated before finally taking the book. "Okay."
Conner concentrated. "Love make the world go around. Deprimere ille bubula linter."
Kim flipped through the book, finding the words. "Debase... the... beef... canoe." She smiled. "Why does that strike me as not right?"
Jason frowned as he clicked a couple of the buttons on the computer, figuring that the readouts must be wrong. Because, that wasn't possible. He had ran a spectral scan on Zeltrax, Elsa, and Mesogog. They were human. But that wasn't what had him in shock. The computer had found a match for Zeltrax.
"Tommy."
Conner shook his head, sort of laughing. "No. No way, cause that would mean..." He turned back to the teenage Kim and his jaw dropped as he gaped at her.
"Oh my..." The teenage version of the science teacher blinked and walked out of the room in a daze.
Kira frowned. "So Zeltrax and Kim..." She trailed off leaving him to fill in the blanks.
"Yep." Jason replied.
"I think I'm going to be sick." Kira stumbled out of the room, her hand over her mouth.
