Disclaimer-Don't own the power rangers

Chapter Five-Secrets

It had been a very eventful day, for everyone. The triplet's had turned twelve, and a new team of power rangers had surfaced. All in all, it had been time well spent. But not for everyone. Because some people had questions. Some people, like Willie.

"Hi Ann." Willie said, standing in his sister's doorway.

"What do you want Willie?" Ann said without turning around.

"Jeez! What makes you think I want something?" Willie asked.

"Because you are being polite. Which is something you hardly ever do around me. But that's what comes with you being the youngest. Never polite at all." Ann said, while still working on her computer.

"Ok then, good guess. I was just wondering where you and everyone else disappeared to this afternoon. You said you would be right back, but you didn't come back for a while. Then I heard mom and dad talking about the power rangers being on TV. It was pretty weird."

"They were talking about what?!" Ann said, suddenly turning around to face her youngest brother.

"I don't know. They said something about some new team of power rangers being on TV. Nothing really exciting. I don't really care about the power rangers that much, it's basically mom and dad's generation that saw them."

"I care." Ann said, before running out of her room and across the hall, leaving her brother standing there.

"Ok then. Thanks so much for letting me know where you were." Willie said to David's door, which Ann had slammed shut after barging in there without knocking. Willie heard Ann shouting hysterically at David. "Wow, wonder what set her off."

"What did you say honey?"

Willie turned around. His mother had just walked out of her room, which was right next to Ann's, after hearing the slamming door.

"Nothing. I was just wondering what's wrong with Ann. She's yelling at David."

"That girl is so headstrong." Kimberly said, before turning to walk back into her room.

"Wait. You aren't going to tell her to stop?"

"No, I'm not. Why would I, it's not really a big deal."

Willie stared at his mother's closed door. His mother cared a lot about her children fighting. It was something that had to do with her childhood. Usually, she got very upset when her children fought amongst themselves, or with anyone else for that matter.

I wonder why she wouldn't tell Ann to stop? Willie though to himself, as he walked down the hall to his bedroom. What is she hiding? She must be hiding something, that's why she wouldn't yell. Maybe she knows something about where they went this afternoon.

What if it has something to do with the power rangers? Willie thought suddenly. Somehow, it didn't seem so far-fetched of an idea. That's what set Ann off. Me mentioning the power rangers. I wonder…

His thoughts drifted off. It wasn't impossible. His three siblings, and three cousins had all 'disappeared' twice that day. The second time it happened, the power rangers had showed up. Could they be the power rangers? No! That's impossible. They are way too young to be power rangers. Kimmie, Jason, and Kaylie are only twelve. And the other's are only sixteen. And that's quite a bit of an age difference for a team, isn't it? I mean, sixteen sounds reasonable, but twelve?

Just then, Jason came into Willie's room.

"Hey Will. What's up with Ann? Why is she yelling at David?"

"No idea." Willie answered truthfully. After all, his theory was just that, a theory. "I was talking to her, and something just set her off all of a sudden."

"Really, what?" Jason asked curiously.

"Nothing really. We were just talking about this afternoon, and I mentioned something about hearing mom and dad talking about seeing the power rangers on TV. Then, she just ran into David's room, and started yelling hysterically at him."

Jason's eyes widened. "The power rangers, really?" He sounded a little nervous.

"Yeah. Don't know why she cared so much. They haven't been seen in years. It's almost like they don't exist anymore. Not that I really care, they don't affect me at all."

"Almost." Jason agreed quietly. To himself he added, they affect you more than you know. "Well, if that's all, that that shouting is about, I'll be going now."

"Ok." Willie said curiously. Jason looked just as worried as Ann had been, before he took off running down the hall. Willie heard David's door crash open. What was all that about? Whatever it was, it had something to do with the power rangers. The three of them knew something about the power rangers, and they weren't about to share it.

And, if he wasn't mistaken, his mother knew something too. And she wasn't bout to tell him anything either. His last chance was that his father knew something.

"Hey dad." Willie said, standing in the door of his father's study.

Tommy looked up. "Oh, hi Willie. What's up?"

"Nothing really. Did you know that Ann was yelling at David?"

"No, I didn't. I'm surprised I didn't hear it. But I suppose your mom made them stop."

"No, she didn't. She said it wasn't a big deal."

"She did? Do you know what they are yelling about?"

"No, but something about the power rangers set her off."

"The power rangers?" Tommy said, then he smiled knowingly. "You know, I agree with your mom. I bet it isn't a big deal."

"Ok." Willie said, walking out of the room. IT was official now. Something was up, and it had to do with the power rangers and two of his brothers, and his sister. And also by the looks of things, his parents knew something too. So only one question remained, what was the secret?

"Jeez Willie! Watch where your going!"

"Oh, sorry Zachary."

"No problem." Zachary said from the ground. "Just next time, try not to walk into me."

"Yeah right."

"Do you know what all that yelling is about?"

"Not clue."

"Oh. I wonder why mom hasn't stopped it?"

"Me too. Well, I'll see you later." Willie walked away.

Something was going on in his house, secrets were being kept, and it involved the power rangers. And he wasn't the only one who noticed.
