Tommy still couldn't believe that he couldn't find the missing rangers there was no screaming, no yelling, and no sirens, and that made Tommy nervous very very nervous.
"Don't worry Handsome," Kim said softly, pulling her husband into a hug, "There isn't sirens and shouting so they haven't done anything to outrages... yet." she added as an after thought.
"We are looking for Rocky right?" Jason asked, "Why don't we check the food court."
"What is the story with Rocky and food?" Trent demanded, "It seems you can't have a conversation about Rocky without mentioning food."
"Were do we even begin," Tommy said with a groan, "according to his mother his first word was food."
"He met Adam and Aisha after stealing Aisha's pudding cup in first grade," Kim added.
"And there was the ice cream incident," Tommy added.
Trent snorted, "don't just mention them, tell me what happened."
"Not right now," Kim began, "We need to..." suddenly Kim's world started to spin as she grabbed hold of Tommy for support as she staggered on her feet, almost tipping over.
"Are you alright Beautiful?" he asked, concern in his voice.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Kim insisted, "Just had a sudden dizzy spell, that's all, it's past already."
"Do you want me to call, Dana?" Jason asked, pulling out his cell phone, "If it's something serious then we should find out about it sooner rather than later."
By this point in time Tommy had helped Kim to a picnic table, Kim shook her head, "I already know what's going on," Kim insisted, "No need dragging Dana to the zoo, I already suspect Ryan to drag her along to the zoo while they are here anyways."
"You sure that you're okay?" Jason asked again, reminding Tommy that while Kim was his wife, Jason was and always would be Kim's big brother.
"I'm fine," Kim stated, "I just need something to eat that's all, it's been awhile since we stopped for lunch."
Tommy was about to go grab her something when Jason grabbed his arm, "You might want to talk her into seeing Dana before you leave, she doesn't look so good."
"Look, like Kim said, we know what is going on, and there's no reason to be worried." Tommy stated.
"Are you going to tell me what is going on?" Jason asked.
"No because we have a bet going on who is going to figure it out first and what their reactions are going to be."
Trent slid onto the bench with Kim, "so are you going to tell me about all these food related accidents or not?"
Kim laughed, "He met Aisha and Adam, two of our other teammates when he stole Aisha's pudding cup, His ice cream once was turned into a monster and ate him, so he ate it. Don't ask about his logic, even for a ranger his logic is a little bit on the whack side."
Trent nodded his head, by this time he was getting use to the strangeness of the power rangers, "Okay," he said, just as a loud scream came from the primate house.
Jason glanced at Tommy, "I suggest that we look over in that direction," moving towards the sound.
The four rangers raced over to were a crowd was forming next to the giant glass wall that kept the apes in their exhibit.
"Rocky," Kim, Tommy, and Jason said in unison as they pushed their way through the crowd to the front, Tommy clearing his throat as he spotted the newest red ranger and original black with their faces pressed up against the glass. Rocky was nowhere in sight and that made Tommy extremely nervous, a sense of deja vu over coming him, this was just like the lion's den incident.
... five minutes earlier the ape exhibit...
Rocky let out a sigh as he leaned against the giant glass wall, "I think we lost them." He said.
Connor watched as the occupants swung around on ropes and climbed their climbing structure, "Man it must be nice being an ape, no annoying science teacher telling you that he couldn't accept the excuse that I was attacked by tyrannodrones on the way to school and they vaporized my homework."
Zack rose an eyebrow, "Why didn't Tommy buy that, it's a good excuse, he was attacked by putties on the way to school all the time."
Rocky shook his head, "Face it Kimberly and Tommy attract danger like a magnet attracts metal. I once saw Tengas start to attack me and ended up dog piling Tommy."
"Believe me I know, Ethan hacked into his video diaries, which, by the way leaves out a crucial piece of information about his personal life, and afterwards well, it was Dr. O did this and Dr. O did that... until something caused his laptop to explode."
"I feel your pain," Zack said, "Whenever someone finds out that I'm from the original team they always ask what it was like to serve with The Tommy Oliver."
"And what was it like serving with Dr. O during his glory days?" Connor asked, finally what he had been waiting for, the inside scoop on his mentors pass.
"He was always late for battles, and spent his time either arguing with Jason with who should be in charge, or trying to impress Kimberly. But mostly he was trying to stay out of medical bay, which I didn't even know existed until he showed up." Zack explained.
Just then a little boy pushed in front of the renegade rangers, "Wow, they're so cool."
One of the apes jumped down and pressed its face against the glass, startling the boy, "Ahh..." he screamed, stumbling backwards.
Rocky steadied him by grabbing his shoulder, "Relax, it can't hurt you," he said, "Even if it could escape, I could capture it with one hand tied behind my back."
"Really?" The little boy asked, amazed.
"Sure," Rocky announced, puffing his chest out with pride, "I once fought a bear with my eyes closed."
The little boys eyes grew round as he ran off to answer his mother's call, "You did not fight a bear with your eyes close!" Connor insisted.
"Yes I did," Rocky insisted, "and I can prove it," with that he pushed a button on his communicator and disappeared only to reappear inside the cage.
Someone behind them screamed after noticing the man in the ape enclosure. Connor watched in fascination as Rocky began swinging around with the apes.
Someone behind them cleared their throat loudly before an all too familiar voice asked, "would you care to explain what is going on here?"
