"Please, remind me again why we are here," said Kira quietly out the corner of her mouth.

Conner stopped crawling momentarily and turned to face the yellow ranger, "because I want to make sure that Dr. O is ok, and that he isn't planning on assassinating me for revenge."

Kira snorted at the look on Conner's face. "Yeah right, Dr. O wouldn't do anything to compromise his teaching position. Besides, he's not the revengeful you-hit-me-in-the-face-with-a-toy-soccer-ball-so-I'm-gonna-beat-you-up type. He'll cool off in a day or so, and if he doesn't…" she shrugged, "well you know what they say, revenge is a desert best served cold."

Conner's mouth dropped open. "Are you serious?"

"Well, if he does catch us…um, you, lurking around his house at 2 am, all he'll do is throw you out. You'renotworthhisgettingintroubleover."

"What did you say?"

Kira stood as she walked cautiously into the lair, her flashlight held out in front of her, "never mind."

Conner followed her up to the desk and looked around for any sign that his mentor was awake and lurking in the shadows.

"You know what. I'm beginning to think that this was a bad idea," he said in a whisper.

"Why are you whispering," asked Kira as she brushed dirt off the front of her jeans. "No, Conner," she grabbed his arm as the red ranger hurriedly made for the door. "You did not have me crawling around in the forest with the bugs, and break into my science teacher's house at 3 am to chicken out on me. No, you go upstairs and make sure that Dr. O is ok."

Conner looked Kira straight in the eye, "no, this was a bad idea. Let's just read the list and go. We can make sure that he isn't permanently disfigured tomorrow at school, besides you heard what he told me earlier about not coming back, it he catches me here…."

Kira rolled her eyes as she picked up Tommy's rapidly growing list. "Fine Conner, but next time you decide to go traipsing through the forest, you can go alone."

141. Its not your fault that you were turning into a bug, just say the after effects of time travel threw you off, it's believable. (Cam!)

142. If someone on your team has been in the Air Force DO NOT PISS HER OFF!! There's probably three different ways she could stun your ass before you knew what was going on.

143. Ethan quit tapping into NASA's satellite system; they can trace it back to you no matter how careful you are.

144. An example to learn from...being put under any spell...can bring out a side of you that really wasn't mean for everyone to see! (-Innocent Smile- Billy's underwear….)

145. Stop making Wizard of Oz references about Zordon. (There are no curtains in the command center Justin!)

146. There's nothing wrong with teaching generations of children to put a mask on, run around in spandex and attack ugly people! Is there?

147. Stop with the innocent whistling, bushes do not whistle!

148. Yes Trent, you are the white ranger. But there's never gonna be a 'Forever White' mission.

149. The word is TEAMWORK, not ten copies of myself. (Repeat after me, "There is not I in team")

150. If you give us a bad name, we WILL go off into space and leave you behind. (…wonder who that could be…)

151. Xander quit playing "Pink" by Aerosmith, Vida's eye is starting to do that twitching thing.

152. Just because you do spend an inordinate amount of time at someone's house, that does not give you permission to leave your car there... (CONNER!)

153. Do NOT let Shane have sugar; he's like Twitchy after having coffee.

154. Being baked into a pizza doesn't get you a fan club. (Sorry TJ)

155. Just because you are a power ranger doesn't mean you can wear your color all the time...someone's bound to notice color coded kids that disappear when the rangers show up.

156. Stop sticking your gum under the seats on the zords. (It's disgusting and the techs hate cleaning it up!)

157. The Lair is not the Batcave Conner, stop referring to it as such. (It's not funny! - Tommy)

158. If the planet has a force field around it, it's probably not a place you want to visit. (Andros…TJ does occasionally know what he's talking about.)

159. When someone makes a mistake do not tell them that the village called and they want their idiot back. (It's mean people! You'll make them cry!)

160. You had better make damn sure that monster is destroyed before you walk off; chances are its just playing dead. (You will regret it later!)

Conner suppressed a grin at the mention of his name.

"You see that Kira, I made this list quite a few rimes. I'm gonna be famous one day."

Kira couldn't help bursting the red rangers bubble, "yeah, too bad none of it is good stuff about you…"

Conner shot her a death glare and was about to reply when the overhead lights suddenly switched on.

"Conner," said a cold voice from the doorway.

Slowly, Conner placed the list back on the desk and turned to face Dr. O.

"We were just leaving," he said noting that his teacher, wearing only black jogging pants, was blocking the only exit.

Tommy faced his students torn between burning their ears for being at his house at such an ungodly hour and just throwing them out and failing them. Both would be equally satisfying.

"Conner, what did I say earlier?"

"To leave and not come back for a very long time."

"Then why are you back? And at 3 am no less?"

Conner gulped and looked to Kira for help. "Well we were just…"

Tommy moved aside and motioned towards the door. "Leave, and I mean it Conner, unless the world is coming to an end or you are dying I don't want to see you at my house for at least three weeks. Do I make myself perfectly clear?"

"Yes sir," said Conner edging past him out the door and using Kira as a shield.

"Good. Just remember that you have a test on Friday…I'd hate to see you flunk it…." He let the threat hang heavy in the air as his students hurried up the stairs and disappeared into the darkness above.
