Tommy prayed that none of his former teammates decided that an early lunch of pizza was necessary, because one look at Kim's pizza and anyone who knew her would get suspicious, the girl who didn't like pepperoni and wouldn't touch mushrooms with a six foot pole was chowing down on the pepperoni and mushroom pizza.
"You know," Tommy said softly, "Keep this up and everyone is going to figure out what's going on."
Kim sat her pizza slice down, "What do you mean?"
"With how many pizza parties we had in high school, don't you think that the rest of our team will know that you eating pepperoni and mushrooms is really weird. We don't want Zack and Rocky to get it in their minds that you're under an evil spell."
"Kim's under an evil spell!" a new voice called out in alarm, causing Tommy to groan, seriously, he thought they had finally lost Trent, but now he was hiding out here, in the corner, pretending to be a potted plant.
"Trent!" Tommy and Kim gasped at the same time.
"Let me guess," Tommy muttered, "You're hiding from your father?"
"No, I'm hiding from Zack," Trent announced, "I don't want to watch my dad make googly eyes at my principal, and I don't need to watch Zack make googly eyes with some woman either."
"Sounds like Zack," Kim confessed, "Glad to see that he hasn't changed a bit."
"So long as he doesn't try the take three girls to the same movie again, I'm good."
"How did we get involved in that one?" Kim asked, "I seem to remember having to shield Zack from an angry Angela."
"I think that was a case of us being in the wrong place at the wrong time," Tommy insisted, "Worst date ever."
"I don't know, that monster attack on that one date we went on was pretty bad."
"Yeah that was bad," Tommy agreed, "But it's better than the time Lord Zedd tried to marry you.'
"Ugg, remind me to punch Goldar for that next time that I..." Kim was cut off suddenly when Tommy placed his hand over her mouth.
"Remember what happened last time we did a Ranger Reunion?" Tommy hissed, "Let's not tempt fate."
Kim nodded.
"What happened the last time we had a power ranger reunion?" Trent asked.
"It was Jason and Trini's wedding," Tommy explained.
"And I got Kidnapped, as usual," Kim said, "Something would be wrong if something didn't happen to me when the gangs all together."
Trent blinked, "I'm starting to understand Hayley's complaints about you guys being crazy."
"Don't worry, it took us a couple of years to get to this level of crazy, which remains me," Tommy turned to look at Kimberly, "Mom wants us to have dinner with her."
"That will be… interesting… what's she going to try this time?"
"Something about us having a romantic get away?"
"She wants a grandbaby?"
"Yep."
"And I'm out of here," Trent announced, spinning on his heels and exiting the building as quickly as he could.
Trent hit something small, something that landed on the ground with a thump before bursting into tears, "Mommy!" Trent had plowed over a little girl.
"I'm so sorry," he exclaimed, "I didn't see you there," he insisted, glancing around, wondering if this little girl's parents would cause him problems. He had already figured out that it was a bad day when you got on the wrong side of Kimberly Oliver, But he had also heard that Yellow Rangers where known for their sort fuses. Was this little girl a yellow ranger descendant?
"Mommy!" the little girl called again, swiping black bangs out of her eyes as she looked around in alarm.
Shoot, not only had he ran over the girl, but the girl was lost as well. He grimaced, he had never been good with kids his own age, not to mention kids younger than him, but he was the only one around, well, the only one aware of the lost little girl, and he was a power ranger, he should be able to help no matter what the situation. With that in mind, he knelt down in front of the girl, "Hey, are you lost?"
The little girl nodded, her bottom lip trembling, now that he was face to face with the little girl, she looked familiar, large brown eyes peering up to him behind long black hair.
"What's your name?" he asked softly.
"Zoey Scott," the little girl sniffed, swiping at her nose with the back of her hand.
Trent didn't know the power rangers as well as Dr. O but he did recognize that last name, that of the Original Red Ranger, Jason Lee Scott, "You're Jason's daughter, right?"
"Uh huh," the little girl confessed, "I had to tie my shoe," she whimpered.
"Well," Trent said slowly, "Do you know your Daddy's phone number?"
Zoey shook her head, tilting her head to the side, "No," she admitted.
"That's okay, I know for a fact that Dr. O has his number on his phone, I'll just call him."
"Dr. O?"
"Dr. Tommy Oliver, he was my science teacher," Trent said, he wasn't sure how much Zoey knew about the secret life that her family lived, and he wasn't about to reveal it.
"You know Uncle Tommy?" Zoey asked, sniffling slightly.
"Yeah, I do, let's see," Trent frowned trying to remember what his parents had taught him about what to do when he was lost when he was little, "We'll stay here, and I'll call Dr. O and get your Dad's phone number."
"Okay," Zoey said with a sniffle.
Trent pulled out his phone and dialed the number that he had practically memorized over the school year.
Tommy answered on the second ring, "Trent, seriously, you are a legal adult, you don't need to hide behind me to avoid your father."
"If you and your father are having relationship problems, I'm willing to help," Kim called out, "Remember I'm an actual shrink as Conner would put it."
"No, I just, Jason's daughter got separated from her parents, and I was wondering if you could call him and tell him that I'm with Zoey between the Pizza Parlor and..." Trent trailed off, looking around him, "Blue Ranger's Wild Ride, it looks like some sort of roller coaster."
"I remember the day that inspired that ride," Tommy muttered, shaking his head, "We were really worried that Billy would end up flying into the sun. There's a reason that he usually teleports."
"Can you get a hold of Jason, please, Zoey's pretty upset."
"Yeah, yeah, Kim's already texted him. They're headed your way."
Trent nodded, "Great thanks Dr. O," he said, hanging up the phone, "Your parents are on their way," he insisted, looking around as a red streak rushed over to him.
"Trent you will never believe what I just learned."
"Well it was obviously not to super speed through a crowded park," Trent pointed out.
"Did you know that Dr. O had an older brother, he looks just like him, it's freaky!"
"Let me guess, he's here, and you mistook him for Dr. O?"
"Yeah, I was wondering why his hair was so long and he didn't start lecturing me about using my super speed."
"He had long hair and you mistook him for Dr. O? What does Kira see in you?"
"She says I have a great personality," Conner announced, "And Mrs. O said that she knew we were meant to be together from the very beginning. Apparently I have the same personality as her.
"Yeah," a new voice called out as an older man dressed in red appeared, "But you obviously didn't get her brains, at all."
"Daddy," Zoey cried out, running up to the man and flinging her arms around his legs, "I couldn't find you!"
Jason bent down scooping his daughter up, "I'm sorry Zoey, I didn't even notice you weren't with us until Aunt Kim texted me telling me where you were," he turned to Trent, "Thanks for staying with Zoey, Trent, right?"
"Yeah," Trent said, nodding his head slowly.
"So Trent, fresh out of high school," Jason said, a look on his face that Trent couldn't quite place.
"That's right."
"Heading off to school next fall?"
"Yeah, Art school, why?"
"You must be needing money to pay for it, aren't you?"
"Not really, I have a job, and Dad's offered to pay for my tuition and books."
"Are you sure you don't want to earn a little extra cash, you know buy your girlfriend a souvenir," Jason wiggled his eyebrows at Trent with that statement.
"Thanks for the offer, but I'm really not seeing anyone."
"Come on, all I need is a babysitter for like three hours, is that to much to ask for?"
"I'm available," Conner offered.
Jason took one look at him, "You're the red ranger that we had to chase down last night with Rocky and Zack aren't you?"
"The one and only."
"Yeah, I don't trust you."
"Ouch," Conner said, "You hardly know me."
"And in the twelve hours since I've met you, you forced me to chase you around Angel Grove!"
"We wouldn't have ran around town if it wasn't for the fact that you where chasing us!"
"We wouldn't have chased you if it wasn't for the fact that we know that we can't trust Rocky and Zack to be alone together."
"They weren't alone together, I was there," Conner insisted.
"Yeah, and Rocky still ended up in the Ape exhibit at the zoo."
"Aisha was with us when we got into that car chase."
Jason rubbed his face, grumbling to himself, why did it take the younger generation to calm down a little after serving? "She tried to get you guys to stop, but you were insisting he kept going."
"I thought all power rangers where crazy?" Conner pointed out, "that's what Hayley keeps saying anyways, so why should you be mad at us for that."
"There's crazy and there's throwing your secret identities away by doing something stupid," Jason insisted, "Plus I think we mellowed out a little once we had children."
"Ug," Trent exclaimed, throwing his hands up, "Why does every conversation I end up in have to do with starting families, honestly," he stormed off with that.
"You know what, I'll check to see if Kira is interested in watching my kids," Jason suggested.
Conner frowned as he watched the original red ranger walk off, okay, so now what was he supposed to do, besides go on the ride right in front of him. He glanced at it, an hour wait time, yeah right. Maybe he could just use his super speed to get past people. Come on he just saved the world, why should he have to wait in line.
