Conner eyes went round as he listen to the story that Zack was telling him about having to battle a monster called the Knasty Knight by himself on his birthday.

"Wow you defeated a monster all by yourself?" Connor asked surprised, defeating a monster by yourself was a difficult thing to do.

Rocky snorted, "How could you defeat a monster by yourself with the Megazord? Don't you need everyone there to summon the separate zords?"

"Technicalities," Zack insisted waving his hand, "I'm pretty sure if Tommy wanted to he could summon the Zords by himself."

"Yes, but you aren't Tommy, and this was before he became a ranger," Rocky pointed out.

"Wait a minute," Conner exclaimed, "There was a time when Dr. O wasn't a power ranger?"

Zack and Rocky looked at the younger red ranger, "Tommy didn't become a ranger until four months after I did," Zack insisted.

"Wow," Connor insisted, "I always thought that Dr. O had just always been one. I mean the way he talked, he knew everything we ever needed to know, and fighting came so easily to him."

"Yeah," Zack said looking around for anything to change the topic to, before Connor asked any more question about his mentor's power ranger past. Tommy's green ranger powers where a taboo subject, all of the power rangers knew that Tommy started out as green, but Zack wasn't even sure Rocky knew why Tommy changed colors. He got expiration as they drove past a fancy restaurant, "That's the restaurant that I took Angela to for our first and only date, I wonder if her getting frozen in place and me having to leave to fight a monster had anything to do with that?"

"That's why dating outside the family rarely happens," Rocky commented, "Even some of our allies can't keep up with us."

"You know a lot of people would take that the wrong way if they heard that." Connor pointed out.

"I know," Rocky shouted out, totally out of the blue, "let's go to the zoo!"

Zack shot his follow ranger a look, "Last time we went to the zoo together I ended up in the lion's den."

"How did you end up in the lion's den?" Connor asked with a laugh.

"It was Rocky's fault."

"You can't blame me, you were the power ranger, I was just an innocent bystander." Rocky insisted, putting on a indignant look about being accuse for the crime."

"If you're innocent then I'm Zordon," Zack insisted, "you got me band from the zoo for life."

"That was almost ten years ago, I bet they've forgotten all about it."

"I doubt it," Zack grumbled.

"Let's go see," Connor encouraged.

...

"Where did you think they went?" Jason asked, leaning forward to talk to Kim and Tommy in the front seats.

"I don't know, but I promise the McKnights that I would make sure that Connor stays out of trouble, and him getting arrested on his first night is not going to look good."

"Come on the last time we left Zack and Rocky alone they didn't get arrested," Kim pointed out, trying to be the positive one in the conversation.

"No, they just trashed my parents house," Jason snapped, "Do you realize how many years it's been since my wedding? Mom and Dad are still finding glitter."

"The time before that they got arrested," Tommy pointed out, "and the time before that."

"Maybe they'll behave themselves with Connor with them," Jason offered.

Kim and Tommy both snorted, "I'll have to say Trent is the level headed one on the Dino Thunder team." Kim stated.

"Hey, what about me?" Tommy demanded.

Kim glanced sideways at her husband, "Yep pretty sure it's Trent."

Tommy slammed a hand on the steering wheel, "See what I have to put up with?"

"I warned you not to marry her," Jason smirked.

"You did what?" Kim demanded, twisting around to shoot Jason the death glare that the pink ranger was famous for.

"Nothing," Jason insisted, ducking his head, not wanting to have to deal with the wrath of the original pink ranger. Geesh, you would think that she could handle some ribbing after all she had been there when he had jokingly told his friend that living with Kim would be to expensive.

"This is nice and all," Tommy interrupted, "but this isn't helping with the fact that one of my students is with two rangers that has the tendency to get in trouble with the law when left on their own..." he paused for a second, "While on their own together."

...

Zack and Rocky removed the hats and sunglasses as they got further from the entrance gate.

"I can't believe that actually worked," Rocky said with a laugh.

"Of course it works, it's done all the time in movies," Zack insisted.

"Helps that the person at the gate was my age, and wasn't here when you... did what you did to end up in the lion's den."

"Actually," Rocky said cheerfully, "that kid was in our group all those years ago, boy, has he grown up.

"How do you know that?" Zack asked.

"He told me to stay on this side of the fences."

"He recognized you," Zack groaned.

"Apparently watching someone fall into the lion's den gives a nine year old nightmares for the rest of his life."

"How did you know this?"

"I talked to him and his family when they where at my restaurant last week," Rocky shrugged, "he told me that if I don't draw attention to me l like I did last time, I'll be fine."

"If you knew you could get into the zoo," Connor asked, "Why did you put on a disguise?"

"Because I thought it looked cool."

...

"Is that Zack's car in the Zoo's parking lot?" Kim asked.

Tommy slammed on the brakes, "Oh no!"

"Oh, don't worry," Jason said, "There is no way that Zack and Rocky could repeat the lion's den incident," he paused for a moment, "Right?"

"What's the lion's den incident?" A new voice asked as there was a slight shimmer before Trent appeared seating next to Jason, who screamed in surprise.

"How long have you been in my car!" Tommy screamed.

"Since you picked Connor and Kira up."

"Follow up question, Why are you in my car?"

"I'm hiding from Dad," Trent confessed.

"Kira," Kim suddenly shouted, "Kira is the most sane person on the Dino Thunder Team."

"But you just said I was."
