Chapter Thirty Four-Which Should Have A Title But Doesn't Because I Can't Think Of One

"I WANT MY MOMMY!" Ernie hollered.

"Er-nie." Ann said. "You don't need her, you have me."

"BUT I WANT MY MOMMY! NOW!" With that final word, Ernie broke down sobbing.

It had been like this for the past week. One by one, everyone of the younger children was starting to realize that their parents weren't coming back for them. None of them really understood why they weren't there, but they knew enough to know that they were missing.

So, one by one, every child was becoming homesick in their own way. The older kids, basically the seven rangers plus the two other triplets, and the rangers from Eltar, were doing what they could to comfort the children, but you just can't replace a parent.

While everyone else was busy with the kids, the alternate twins were trying to make a plan that would help get the adults back. When Billy had sent them to the past, he had given each of them a copy of all of their computer's files, just in case they had trouble proving who they were. Now, they were using this data to try and find a way into the Moon Palace, past Scarlette's henchmen, and back out again without being noticed. Needless to say, they weren't having much luck.

"Ernie," Ann began calmly, "If Mommy was here, do you think she would want you to be crying?"

Slowly, Ernie stopped crying. Looking up, he shook his head.

"Then you shouldn't be crying." Ann ssaid firmly. "You want to be a good boy and prove to mommy how well you can behave without her here. Okay?"

"Ok." Ernie said softly, wiping the tears off of his face.

"Now, go into the kitchen and make David give you a cookie or something." Ann told the boy, winking at him.

Ernie grinned and ran off into the kitchen.

"Nice job." A voice said behind Ann.

She turned around to find Ted leaning against the doorframe. She got up from where she had been sitting on the floor.

"What? You think you can do better?" Ann questioned, walking closer to him.

"Maybe." Was his reply.

She walked up to him and wrapped her arms around his neck. Ted obligingly wrapped his arms around her waist, and was just leaning down to kiss her when--

"AAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN!!!!!!" A voice hollered from somewhere else in the house.

Ann smirked at Ted, then called back. "WHAT?"

"COME DOWNSTAIRS! WE HAVE SOMETHING!" It was her alternate self.

Ann's eyes went wide in surprise and removing her arms from around Ted's neck, grabbed his hand and pulled him along after her.


"We need a plan." Scarlette stated. "It's been over a week, and neither of you has thgough tof anything. We need to find those little brats. Everything will be ruined if we don't find them."

"What's going to be ruined?" Goldar asked, confused.

"I have the white ranger." Scarlette said. "he is the greatest power ranger ever, and I have him in my power. You remember last time. It was because of your blunder that we lost the power then."

"My blunder? What did I do?"

"You teleported into their command center before I told you to and took them in front of witnesses!" Scarlette shrieked. "That blunder."

"Oh." Was all Goldar said.

Haxel was silent throughout this entire conversation, not having been around 'last time'. Now though, he had an idea.

"Mistress?" Haxel said hesitantly.

"What?" Scarlette snapped.

"I have a plan."

"It's about time. Tell me."

"Well, as you know, we couldn't find anyone else at the rangers command center." Scarlette nodded impatiently. "Well, what if they were at this other command center. It was a different one than we searched, wasn't it?"

Scarlette nodded slowly. "It was."

"Well, they are probably hiding at this other command center. So all we have to do is go there."

"But we don't know where it is." Goldar interrupted.

"How did you get there las titme then?" Haxel asked confused.

"I didn't get there at all." Goldar said. "I was watching the house, I have no idea how I ended up in that command center."

"Find this command center." Scarlette said softly. "Or else."

Goldar and Haxel nodded hastily and left the throne room, leaving Scarlette all alone.

She glanced at the entrance to the Dark Dimension beside her throne. She hadn't seen any of the rangers in ages. It was time for a little visit.

"Hello Rangers!" Scarlette announced as she walked into the Dimension.

AS one, it seemed, they all groaned.

"I see that you're all pleased to see me."

"Not as pleased as I'd be to get out of here." Tanya muttered.

Scarlette rose her eyebrows. "Is that so? Well, I think I can fix that, don't you?"

Now, everyone looked worried. That was more like it.

"What are you going to do to us?" Hayley asked worriedly.

"Just wait, and you'll find out." Was all Scarlette said.

Moving so she was standing in the middle of the room, Scarlette stretched her arm out, the one holding her staff. Purple light, like lightning, shot out of it and went onto each individual in the room. All glowed the same purple as the light for a moment. Scarlette lowered her arm, and the light disapeared. The only residual light was the purple glow in all of their eyes, except for in Hayley and Kim's, but Scarlette didn't notice.

"Now," Scarlette began, "You are all under my spell. My evil spell. You will do exactly as I say."

Kim and Hayley, who were standing next to each other, shot each other worried glances. They weren't under any spell.

"I want you to find those puny little power rangers." Scarlette said. "They will have a bunch of little brats with them. We don't know for sure where they are, but we think it is at and old command center. Find them, and bring them all to me."

With a wave of her staff, they were all teleported to Earth.

Kim grabbed Hayley's arm as the other's ran off in every direction. Under the spell, they didn't know where the dino thinder command center was.

"Come on, Zordon gave me this communicator." Kim said, indicating the object she pulled out of her pocket. "It'll be much faster. And we can warn them."

Holding Hayley's arm firmly, Kim pushed a button on the device, and they were immediately teleported to the basement command center.


"What did you find?" Ann questioned.

"It's not what we found." Alternate David stated. "It's what found us."

He stepped aside to reveal Kim and Hayley standing there.

a/n-so, correct me if i'm wrong, but isn't today kim's birhtday? just so you know, that's just me being random and it doesn't have anything to do with this story. btw- 2 more reviews breaks 100.
