Ryleigh's alarm clocked buzzed loudly, waking both her and her boyfriend. Finally the seemingly endless school week came to a conclusion and everyone could spend their first true weekend at college.

"Did you have to keep your alarm for a weekend morning?" Johnny asked out of frustration.

"I guess I just forgot to set it off." Ryleigh scratched her head. "I'm so tired."

"Yeah, no kidding. You woke us up with an alarm on a Saturday morning." Johnny replied sarcastically.

"Uh, sorry about that." Ryleigh apologized.

"It's cool." Johnny smiled and kissed his girlfriend on the cheek.

"At least we can spend the entire day together." Ryleigh shrugged.

"Even though I have to leave tomorrow morning." Johnny reminded her. "Your college isn't too lenient on overnight guests."

Both of them got up and walked around the room looking for stuff to use to get ready. Since Ryleigh was very well organized, it wasn't hard for her to find all of her shower supplies. Johnny, on the other hand, hand things scattered all around the small dorm room. When he got his stuff all together, Ryleigh looked into the mirror.

"I need to get ready, I look like a total mess." Ryleigh joked.

"Yeah, but you're my beautiful little mess."

Since it was still morning and he hadn't exactly eaten anything the night before, Shane thought it would be a good idea to go out and get breakfast. Lucky for him, there was a good donut place on campus where he could go grab a bite. He walked in and stood patiently in line for his turn to come.

While he stood in line, he thought about a few things. The first thing that bothered him was that he had killed a human being. While it had been provoked, it was something that he couldn't easily digest; nobody could easily digest that. The second thing was that no questions could have been asked. Since the perpetrator was dead and Katelyn was clueless about the whole situation, there wasn't any information that could have been obtained.

"May I take your order, sir?" the person at the counter asked Shane, who was lost in thought.

"Oh, yeah!" Shane zapped back into reality. "I'll just take two glazed donuts and a medium coffee."

As he waited for his order, more thoughts started to come to him. They had just finished off one menace at Smalltown and now they had something else to go through. Not to mention the fact that they were fighting humans...or at least what was left of humans.

"Here's your order, sir." the cashier handed Shane his bag and cup.

"Thank you." Shane nodded and took a seat.

It was hard for Shane to eat his food when there was so much left unanswered. He didn't want to be the one to take a nice relaxing break when there was a job to be done. Not to mention the fact that Ryleigh probably wanted to spend as much time with her boyfriend as possible before he had to leave, making Shane the sole Ranger on duty.

Shane finished his food and wrapped it back up in the back. When he walked out of the door, he tossed everything in the recycling bin. He put his hands in his pockets and walked down a secluded path to his dorm hall. As he was walking, he started to hear two students talk about something in a really sketchy and dark tone. Curious, he hid behind a corner and listened in.

"Yeah, it's practically a no-go." the first student said.

"We can't really do anything until we get the proper orders." the second student replied.

"Man, I really want to get on the field." the first student jittered.

"I know, we're only new recruits and we have so much to prove!"

"What about tonight?" the first student asked. Shane's ears perked up as he heard this.

"We have to handpick our girls." the second student answered.

"I wish they would just make themselves known to us."

"Yeah, but we're the ones who have a name to prove." the second student shrugged.

Shane instantly realized what they were talking about ran in and grabbed the first student by his neck and held him against the wall. He kneed him in the gut and held him there until the second student grabbed him and threw him off.

"What are you doing?" the first student asked in rage.

"I know who you are!" Shane shouted. "You kidnapped her!"

"What...what are you talking about?" the second student asked.

"You guys were talking about the kidnappings!" Shane exclaimed. "I heard you conversation!"

"Um, no, we're on the football team and that's what we were talking about, weirdo." the first student answered, still clearly angry.

"Then what did you mean by 'get on the field'?" Shane asked.

"We were talking about our upcoming game against Arizona." the second student answered.

"Then what did you have to prove?"

"We're both wide receivers." the first student said. "We're freshmen who were recruited from high school and we were talking about how we had to make a name on our team..."

"Then what did you mean by tonight and handpicking girls?" Shane asked, realizing how much of an idiot he actually was.

"We were talking about going to parties and picking up girls. We're on the football team, you know..." the second student groaned. "You should just walk away right now."

"I'm...uh...I'm sorry." Shane apologized before walking off. That was painfully embarrassing for him, but he knew it had to mean something. His task was his first priority, and everything was worth questioning when there was still a criminal at large.

Raylan and Tyler woke up to a harsh knocking sound on their doors. Both Rangers got up and slowly answered the door to find an impatient Emma standing there.

"Do you have to be so early?" Tyler asked her. "It's kinda early in the morning."

"It's two in the afternoon." Emma stated. "You guys don't need to sleep in that much."

"Oh, come on. Let us be tired." Raylan pleaded with his girlfriend.

"No, you guys are big growing men and you need to eat. Let's go and get lunch." Emma grabbed then by their arms.

"We're not even ready yet!" Tyler protested.

"Then throw on a t-shirt or something because I'm not going out by myself."

"You have a Morpher on you..." Tyler groaned. "You have the best protection in the world. Not to mention you have an extremely defensive boyfriend with teleporting powers."

Just then, their Morphers started to warm up. At first, the Rangers were confused. Usually, their Morphers only warmed up when there was a Shadow attack, but something was different about this time. The trio turned to Gadget-X.

"What's going on?" Raylan asked the robot.

"I've programmed your Morphers to warm whenever there's a report of a kidnapping on or off campus."

"Shit, let's get out there." Raylan commanded the two.

"Are you kidding me?" Tyler asked. "It's only the afternoon."

"Do we have much of a choice here?"
