Trini, Billy and Zack excitedly walked into the Youth Center to reunite with their parents. But they didn't see them.
"Where are they?" Trini asked close to tears.
Jason came up and put his arm around his girlfriend. "I'm sure they are around here somewhere." He said in a soothing voice, which only made Trini want to cry more.
"Mine aren't here either. What if something happened to them? What if they didn't make it back?" Zack wondered out loud.
"That is a possibility, my father also seems to be MIA" Billy commented.
"MIA?" Kimberly asked.
"Missing In Action. It is a military term; it is used when someone disappears during a battle or fight." Nick explained being in the Army when he was much younger.
"Oh, I'm sure we will find them." Kimberly tried to comfort.
On the moon
Rita was watching smirking as 3 of the Rangers were panicking at the fact that they can't find their parents.
"That is one way to get rid of 3 Rangers and Ms. Pinky has a broken arm so she is not much trouble." Rita said.
"How is killing three of the Rangers' parents got rid of them?" Goldar asked.
"It is so simple, with their parents gone. The kids would be on their way to orphanage, one far away from here." Rita chuckled.
"Yeah that is brilliant! Now all we have to do is make sure that those Rangers know that their parents are dead. Nothing more than a causality to war" Goldar agreed.
Back at the Youth Center
"They are gone. They are dead I know it." Trini cried.
"No Trini, we can't be sure of that. We can't be sure of anything." Kimberly said giving her best friend a hug.
The teens talked huddled in a group around their friends who can't find their parents after this horrible experience. The adults were also huddled talking.
"We were there, it was a bad situation. We do have to accept the possibility that they were killed." Lacey commented.
"What will happen to them now?" Dana asked.
"Most likely they will go to an orphanage." Lacey said shaking her head.
"There is no Orphanage in Angel Grove. They will have to leave their friends and the town they know. I wish there is something we could do to help them." Dana said.
"I have taken in Kimberly, my nephews and we recently adopted 2 little girls on top of the 3 kids we already have. Social Services will only let me take one more. The only problem is which one will I take, Billy, Trini or Zack?" Lacey said looking at the sad look on the 3 children's faces.
Nick and Dana looked at each other.
"We will take Billy and Trini. You guys can take Zack. This way Trini and Jason won't be living together considering they are dating and Trini is the only one that understands Billy. This makes the most sense and they don't have to go to an orphanage." Nick came up with.
"Do you realize what you are saying? You are agreeing to take in two 15-year-olds who are in no way a blood relation to you." Joseph told Dana and Nick.
"You guys do it; you take in children and don't even think twice." Dana replied.
"Yeah, but we know what we are doing. We started with Kimberly; she was 8 and lost her father to an accident while her mother was dying of cancer. She was our best friend's daughter; we couldn't let her go to an orphanage. Then my brother died and we took his sons. Now we take in children in need, as many as Social Services will allow." Joseph explained.
"Was there ever any doubt that you were doing the right thing?" Nick asked.
"No, we knew what we are doing. Just be sure that you do before taking in those teens." Lacey told them.
Nick and Dana went into the corner of the Youth Center to really discuss what they were planning. While Lacey and Joseph went to talk with the teens, they weren't going to say anything yet. Nick and Dana came on over as well.
"We should get you guys out of here!" Nick said.
"We can't go home without our parents." Zack said.
Lacey looked over to the Oliver's who nodded. "Zack you will come home with us. You can share a room with Jason. Trini and Billy, you two will be going home with the Dana and Nick.
This is a temp situation that may become permanent depending on whether or not we find your parents."
Zack, Trini and Billy were all in shock by the day's events. All they could do was nod.
"If their parents don't turn up or turn up dead, are you adopting Billy and Trini?" Tommy asked his parents.
"If it comes to that, then yes we will adopt them. For their sake I do hope their parents turn up. Unfortunately, I doubt they will. We were there, if they are alive. They would be here." Dana said hugging her new daughter. Dana always wanted a daughter, she only has boys.
"It will be okay, we will help you through this. I know how you are feeling. I thought my life was over when I lost my parents. With Jason and the Scott's help I got through it. You will too." Kim said as she gave Trini a hug and let her cry on her shoulder.
"Come let's go home. Billy you can share a room with Tommy. Trini, you can have the guest room. Tomorrow you can make the room your own." Dana said letting Trini cry on her shoulder.
"NO! They were not supposed to find a family! They were suppose to go away!" Rita yelled.
