"So..." Connor said slowly, "We are in a hotel filled with power rangers and their allies, so why don't we go ask around for the stories that Dr. O never told us."
"I think I saw Zack Taylor in the lobby, Original Black, I bet he knows some embarrassing stories," Ethan stated.
"What will happen if Dr. O finds out we were asking for embarrassing stories?" Trent asked.
"There isn't anything he can really do," Connor pointed out, "Besides follow us around all week."
"Then let's go," Trent shouted, racing eagerly out the door.
...
"Why hello Red, you look exquisite today," Hayley groaned, the one thing she hated more than crazy power ranger leaders were crazy black and green power rangers, and Joel was no exception.
"Not interested Joel," she said with a sigh, before walking away, why oh why did she let Tommy and Kimberly talk her into closing the Cafe for a week and going on vacation. She was one of the few female allies that were single, she and Ms. Fairweather that is and a room full of flirtatious Black and green rangers. Some had girlfriends or wives to reel them in, but some, like Joel, and Zack had no one and therefore was trying to see who can get the most dates in the shortest amount of time.
Unfortunately this was a power ranger convention and everyone knew about their antics.
"Come on," Joel cried out, "You, me, dinner."
Hayley shook her head, "Joel, I'm sorry, but I'm not interested."
"Now," the green ranger said happily, "that's because you don't know me," he stuck out his hand, "Hi I'm Joel the Sky Cowboy and Green Lightspeed Rescue Ranger, and you are?"
"Hayley," she said shortly, not reaching out to take his offered hand, "Tech support of Dino Thunder."
"Oh, I get it, you only date smart people I get it, Ms Fairweather was that way too."
Hayley sighed, "If you are still having a hard time accepting that you and Ms. Fairweather are over after all this time, you should see Mrs. Oliver."
Joel snorted, "Why should I go see a shrink?"
Hayley didn't have time to answer for at that moment a flash of red appeared and nearly knocked her over, "Conner, watch were you're running!" she shouted.
The red blur skid to a stop, revealing the young red ranger, "Sorry Hayley, do you know where Zack is?"
"Over in the center of that Gaggle of girls," Hayley stated, "Good luck dragging him away."
"Hey Zack!" the young red ranger called out eagerly running, at a must more normal speed, towards the former black ranger.
Zack, however, wasn't even listening, he was too busy trying to win a date with one of the girls, Connor didn't recognized any of them and figured that they were some of those that had been selected to help preserve the identities of the secret identity power ranger.
"Zack!" he called out again, wiggling his way through the crowd, "I'm Connor McKnight, your friend Dr. Tommy Oliver was my science teacher."
Zack turned to look at him, "So you're one of those students," he said with a grin, "I bet Tommy painted himself as a huge hero."
Connor nodded, "I was wondering, seeing as you knew him when he was my age."
Zack grabbed his hand, "Not here," he hissed, "If Tommy or Kim get wind of this... Come with me."
...
Tommy looked around the large board meeting room at the sea of red rangers that were seating around the table, staring at him, waiting for him to speak.
Give him a monster to fight any day.
"We have no zords, weapons, or the ability to morph," he finally confessed, everyone nodded, it made sense, it was rare for a power ranger to keep the ability to morph. Even if they could morph they would most likely hang it up unless needed. In fact Tommy was almost certain that Light speed rescue was the only team that not only kept the ability to morph but use that ability on a daily bases.
TJ cleared his throat, "For everyone's information the Power Ranger Bill passed and became law, so we don't have to worry about law suits." He gave Carter a pointed look.
Carter gave the famous Astro Ranger an innocent look, "Why are you looking at me like that?" He asked.
Everyone rolled their eyes at him, it was a silly question, it was no secret that Carter and his teammates were constantly getting into trouble with the local police of Mariner Bay about several law enforcement problems. Carter and Ryan especially tended to intervene in domestic and child abuse, which caused trouble with the police.
"Please note that if you are a secret identity you need to be in uniform," Andros added, this time looking at Cole Evans, who snorted.
"I took one dog out of a horrible place, and told them I was the red ranger, how was I suppose to know that would get me in more trouble?"
Everybody laughed at the innocent question, before turning towards the door as it opened, and Hayley stuck her head in, "Should we be concerned, Zack took Connor 'out on the town'?"
Tommy jumped up, "Extremely, those two together spells trouble, and they'll probably end up arrested."
"Who's car did Rocky jump into when we came to check in?" Aisha asked appearing next to Hayley in the doorway.
"And things just got worst." Tommy groaned, getting up, "Jason, you're with me, we need to stop those three before they get arrested."
"Come on," Jason shouted, grabbing Tommy, "We'll grab Kim on the way out."
