Hint: Code Pink
Aisha was with Kelsey, Tanya, and Hayley when she saw Zack teleport in front of Rocky. She quickly pressed a finger to her lips, nodding towards them, "That's not a good sign," she announced, "I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Rocky, but when he and Zack get together there's always trouble."
"So I might or might not have accidentally revealed the identity of one of the Dino Thunder team to Angela," Zack announced.
Aisha groaned, great, just great, this was totally what she needed to deal with today. Hadn't Zack and Rocky reached their limit of chaos they are allowed to do in a week last night?
"How did you accidentally reveal someone's secret identity?" Rocky demanded, actually her husband had a point, how does one Accidentally reveal one's secret identity?
"Simple," Zack shrugged, "I mentioned that he was one of Tommy's students, and she assumed that he had a dojo, and reasoned that if he taught karate then any student he taught that was here was a power ranger."
Rocky let out a low whistle, "That is impressive, but how were you going to know that she was going to automatically assume that any student of Tommy's was a power ranger?"
"Well," Zack drawled, rubbing the back of his neck, " I kind of mentioned that it was impressive that she could come to the right conclusion with the wrong information, out loud."
Aisha groaned, "Looks like we have a code black on our hands," she said as Zack and Rocky ran off.
"I'm sorry, but what's code black?" Kelsey asked.
"Code Black, identity at risk?" Aisha pointed out, "Name that because Zack was always doing stupid things that risked revealing his identity?"
"Yeah, we didn't have secret identities," Kelsey pointed out, "Or a black ranger."
"I'm pretty sure that we're the only ones that used color codes," Tanya pointed out.
"We have a code pink in progress, I repeat a code pink in progress."
"Wait," Tanya murmured, "We're dealing with Code Black and Code Pink? Seriously, we've not been together for twenty-four hours, surely there are rules about this."
"What I want to know is who was stupid enough to grab a ranger."
"Uh, need I remind you that my team didn't use the color code," Kelsey pointed out, "What's Code Pink?"
"Kidnapping," Aisha and Tanya said in unison.
"Five bucks that it's Kim."
"Okay, you're on," Aisha said.
"Really, even I know why code pink is code pink, and you want to lose five bucks."
"True, but you never served with Kimberly," Aisha pointed out, "Tommy initiated the Code Pink. He used to do that whenever Kimberly dragged him off to the mall, especially if they stopped at the beauty salon. I bet Kimberly dragged him off to the mall and he wants a quick save."
"This is why I should have stayed home," Hayley announced, "Is it a shopping trip, or a kidnapping."
"If Kim is involved it could go either way," Aisha insisted, "She doesn't take no for an answer, and sometimes doesn't even wait for one anyway. She probably kidnapped Tommy or one of the newbies."
"I didn't kidnap him," a voice called out, as Kim appeared with Tommy, rolling her eyes, "Tommy seems to think Code Pink means shopping."
"Ninety percent of the time it involves shopping," Tommy pointed out, "Remember that time Jason asked us to pick up some things for him at Wal Mart and Rocky and Zack kidnapped us?"
"Yes, yes I do," Hayley said, "I was dragged all over Angel Grove because the two of you insisted on leading the others on a wild goose chase."
"Well, Kira and I are going to the mall," Kim announced, bouncing slightly on the heels of her feet, "And we're taking Karone with us."
"How come I have a feeling that this False Code Pink is going to turn into an actual code pink?" Aisha asked slowly.
"I need your help nabbing Karone and getting her away from Andros," Kim announced, grabbing Aisha.
"And this is why I should have said no," Hayley announced, turning on her heels and stomping off.
"You know, Hayley would make an amazing Yellow Ranger one day," Tommy announced.
"You might have to take a leaf out of Rita's book to get her to go along with it, Handsome," Kim insisted, patting him on the arm before dragging Aisha and Tanya away with Kira following close behind them.
…
"So how are we going to kidnap Karone?" Kira asked from her place hidden behind a large trash can.
"We count to three, rush them, grab Karone, shout spa day, and drag her off," Kim announced, "It works every time."
"How many times have you kidnapped Karone before?" Tanya asked, "She doesn't come to earth to visit very often."
"I've never kidnapped Karone before, but it always seems to work with Jason and Tommy."
"That explains why Code Pink could mean shopping," Aisha muttered.
"Well, if anyone knows anything about kidnapping, it's Kim."
…
Andros, Ashley, and Karone were discussing what to do next, while Karone gently bounced her young nephew in her arms, they were seriously thinking about going over to the water park area when suddenly there was a blur of pink, followed by several blurs of yellows and Karone was being dragged off, Andros and Ashley's son still in her arms.
"Shopping trip!" Kimberly called out in triumph as she sped off as quickly as she could with Karone in her grip.
"Daddy," the little boy called out in surprise as his aunt, who was still holding him, was whisked away from his parents.
Andros and Ashley looked at each other in amusement, "I think that's a code pink," Andros suggested, "Justin tried to explain the color code to me once but it was really confusing."
"It doesn't help that each color has like three different meanings depending on how it's said and who said it."
…
Zack smirked at Rocky as he opened the door to the Dojo and bowed him in, "We should be safe from Kim and Tommy here," he insisted.
"Lucky for us there was a code pink," Zack insisted with a sigh, "Tommy's probably too busy to deal with us, either Kim's been kidnapped, or Kim kidnapped him."
"Is it still considered kidnapping when the two of them are married?"
"Probably not," Zack confessed, "But still, we dodged a laser blast with this."
"You're telling me, so do you think that he has a TV somewhere in here?"
"I honestly don't know, let's check the break room, or possibly the waiting area, surely Adam gives the Moms something to do while they wait for their kids."
…
"Seriously Kim, you could have just asked if I wanted to go with you," Karone insisted as she was thrown into the backseat of a car."
"If I had asked, you could have said no," Kim insisted, sliding into the driver seat.
"But I might have said yes," Karone insisted, sitting up in the backseat, "No need to get the police involved."
"Yeah, well, then, your brother would insist on tagging along, and he's the worst person to go shopping with," Kim insisted, studying her fingernails, "And I've gone shopping with Rito once so that is saying something."
"Rito?" Aisha and Tanya echoed, blinking in surprise.
"Who's Rito?" Kira asked.
"Rita Repulsa's younger brother, he wasn't very bright but he sure did have a sense of style."
"I've served with you for how long?" Aisha asked, "How come I've never heard of this?"
"It happened while I was in Florida."
"Rito showed up in Florida?"
"Multiple times, which was strange seeing as it was after I wrote The Letter."
Kira frowned, she could hear the capital letters, "What's The Letter?"
"I dumped Tommy with a letter when we were your age," Kim said, shrugging.
"You wrote Dr. O a Dear John Letter? But you're married?"
"We weren't married back then," Kim insisted, "We broke up for about three years, and then we got back together and got married."
"As in one day they haven't seen each other in years, and the next they were married," Aisha insisted.
"We dated for about three months before getting married, and you know that Aisha; Jason and Trini got married between the time we got back together and got married."
"Still doesn't cover the fact that you got back together and married before I could find a job."
"Can we go back to the fact that you took Rito shopping," Tanya asked, "I haven't heard that story before."
Kim scanned the mall before shaking her head, "Sorry, not here, there are way too many people here."
"So where's the spa?" Kira asked, scanning the map of the mall.
"It's... Kim frowned, "They moved everything around, Aisha what happened?"
"They remodeled the mall about a year and a half ago due to some major flooding and monster damage."
"Monster Damage? But there hasn't been any monster attack in like four years."
"They've been fighting with the insurance company about it," Aisha admitted, "They patched things up when it happened to hopefully keep things going, but they only truly fix things up recently."
…
Tommy wasn't sure who he needed to strangle, Kim, who almost succeeded in kidnapping Andros and Ashley's son as well as Karone. Kira for suggesting going to the mall. Zack for revealing a Dino Thunder Team member's secret identity to Angela. Angela, simply for being there and too smart for her own good, or Joel, for inviting her along.
It was so bad that he was back at the hotel in the conference room with TJ and Jason.
"Let me get this straight," TJ said, "Zack accidentally revealed the identity of one of the Dino Thunder Team to Angela, who was Zack's crush in high school, then ran off somewhere with Rocky."
"Yep," Tommy said.
"The same duo that we had to chase all over Angel Grove just last night?" Jason asked.
"You sound surprised Jason, remember, these are the two that thought it was a good idea to lock Kim and I in a closet."
"And Kim dragged the girls all over to the mall," Jason added, "And Trini and I still haven't found a babysitter."
