AN: This chapter is a different take on Parents' Day
Jason, Kimberly and the rest of the kids are sitting around the breakfast table with the adults.
"So tonight is Parents' Day at the high school, or they should be calling it 'Parents' Night' considering it doesn't start until 4." Lacey commented.
"I have to work, so I will meet you guys there." Nick told them.
Kim sat there in quiet.
"I'll baby-sit tonight!" Kim spoke up.
"Jeremy and Leslie can baby-sit; I was hoping that you will come tonight." Lacey told her.
Kimberly shrugged and then went to grab her backpack and started to walk to school, all on her own. Jason grabbed his bag and chased after her.
"Kimberly! Wait up!" Jason called after her.
Kim just kept walking; in fact she started walking faster. Jason finally caught up with Kim, and actually managed to get in front of her.
"Kimberly, what was that all about?" Jason asked.
"Nothing, it is nothing." Kim said not even looking him in the eye.
Jason knows Kimberly to well and is not buying that.
"Does this have anything to do with Parents' Day?" Jason asked.
"I am so sick of hearing about it all the time, I don't do need any reminders as to the fact that I don't have parents." Kimberly told him.
"Yes you do, you have my parents. They love you, always have and always will." Jason tried to convince her.
"I know, but it is not the same. I can still remember my own, just barely. But I remember." Kim cried.
Jason decided to drop it for now; he doesn't know or understand how she is feeling. He used to tease her about being a stray.
Youth Center 4:00
The teens are all inside hanging out with their parents and each other. Lacey looked around for Kimberly, she was really hoping that Kim would show.
"Jason, where is Kimberly? Is she coming?" Lacey asked.
"Mom, she is feeling left out. I don't know if she will come." Jason admitted.
Jason's communicator went off. Jason quickly gapped his hand over the communicator sound, so his mother doesn't hear. Lacey noticed Patricia Taylor and went over to say hi. Jason rounded up the others (minus Kimberly) and they went into the corner so they could respond.
"Go, Zordon!" Jason said.
"KIMBERLY IS BEING ATTACKED BY PUTTIES RIGHT OUTSIDE THE YOUTH CENTER." Zordon said.
"We are on it." Jason said.
They ran outside and saw Kim trying to fight off 15 putties. She was not doing very well, her arm is still broken, and so it is harder for her to fight. The other Rangers started to fight the putties, pulling them off of Kimberly. The putties kept coming and then in an instant, they were gone.
"Alright, let's go inside. That means you too Kimberly!" Jason ordered.
Kim rolled her eyes, but Tommy took her hand and led her inside. They were shocked when they got inside. The room was empty, everyone was gone.
"Where is everyone?" Trini cried.
"They were just here." Tommy said.
"We better go to the Command Center." Jason said.
Command Center
"RANGERS, I AM AWARE OF THE SITUATION." Zordon said as they arrived at the Command Center.
"Where are they?" Trini asked.
"Are they okay?" Zack asked.
"ALPHA IS TRYING TO LOCATE THEM."
"Here let me help you with that." Billy said walking up to the control panel.
"Thank you Billy, I could use all the help I can get." Alpha said.
On the viewing Globe, the captured people appeared. They were all scared and trapped in one room. Jason saw his mother, she look scared.
"Where are the kids?" Lacey cried to Joseph
"I don't know; I am sure they are around her somewhere." Joseph said.
"I just hope that they are okay. What about the others, are we going to see the others again." Lacey cried on her husband.
"Mom! Do they know what is happening to them?" Jason asked.
"UNFORTUNATELY YES, THEY ARE AWARE OF THEIR SURROUNDING, DEFEAT THE MONSTER AND THEY SHOULD BE SET FREE." Zordon informed.
"Guys let's do it! It is MORPHIN TIME!" Jason said.
The Rangers morphed into battle. The battle was tough, and it seemed hopeless. The monster was strong. It looked bad for the Rangers; the only thing that kept them going was, if they don't win they will never seen their parents. The Rangers finally manage to get the upper hand and the monster runs away.
"NO!" The Rangers yelled.
"How are we going to get them back now?" Billy asked.
"I don't know. I don't want to lose them, even with all the rules and the punishment. They are our parents." Jason began.
"Yeah, we haven't even made up. I know he is disappointed in me, for the choices I made. But, I know that he loves me and always will. Even when he is angry and yelling at me, and I love him." Tommy admitted.
"We will get them back, the monster will show up again and this time, we will defeat them." Kimberly told them comforting them.
"I'm Back, miss me!" The monster said.
"Guys let's get him!" Jason ordered.
