Chapter 3: A Convincing argument

"Please Haley," begged the former ranger for the 37th time in 5 minutes, "Please!"

"No Tommy! How many times have i got to say it?"

"At lest 38 apparently," cut in a third voice wryly.

"Keep out of this Ethan!" snapped Tommy grabbing for him.

Backing away quickly, toward the safety of the Dino thunder Ranger's Ethan made a strange squeak of fear.

"Please?" resumed Tommy, "It'll be your Christmas present for me!"

"No!"

"Please?"

"Tommy!" there was a threatening glare in her eye that said it was probably better for Tommy to quit now, while he was ahead, or at least alive.

He ignored it! "I can't face it on my own! Everyone will laugh at me! Please!"

"Tommy I said no, and that isn't going to change."

He sighed, about to give up when an idea hit him.

"Then I'll just have to ask Kira."

There was a chorus of four "ewwwws" from behind him.

"Yes," said Hayley sarcasticly, "Because turning up with a high school student will be better than turning up alone. Especially once the school finds out and you lose your job because of it."

"Exactly!" declared Tommy, "and wouldn't you feel incredibly guilty knowing that I lost my Job all because you wouldn't do me one little favour."

"Tommy!" she cried exasperated.

"Please?" he asked, bringing out the final weapon at his disposal: big puppy Dog eyes.

Sighing heavily, exhausted with arguing and almost feeling sorry for him she agreed. "Fine," she said, "but you owe me big time."

"Whooooo!" called Connor enthusiastically, "Go for it Dr O!"

He promptly got smacked around the head. "Do you even know what's going on?" asked Kira sharply.

"Um... Dr O got Haley to agree to go out with him?" he asked hopefully.

"No Connor."

"Oh," he said deflating a little, "So you gonna take us with you Dr O?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No."

"Please?"

"No"

Kira sighed and looked away from her red Ranger to gaze lovingly at the white. "Trent," she muttered to herself, "definately Trent."

Some time later.

"Please?"

"For the last time Connor- NO!"

"Wait!" said Connor, "What were we arguing about?"

"Dr O taking us with him to Angel Grove," supplied Ethan helpfully.

"Thanks Ethan," replied Tommy through gritted teeth.

"You were gonna take Kira!" pointed out Connor.

"No... well... that was... um... different!"

"Wait! you were going to take Kirs as your girlfriend until you realised it'd get you sacked! If you don't take us we'll tell the School Kira is your girlfriend and you'll lose your job!"

There was a moment of Silence as the group considered whether this suggestion was brilliant or completely idiotic. Then they all smacked Connor round the head.

"Don't" said Kira, hitting him again,"even", slap, "go," slap, "there."

"Your totally not coming," said Tommy.

"Oh i don't know," said Haley an evil gleam in her eye, "they could help. Without them to remind me, i might accidentally forget I'm supposed to be your girlfriend and let it slip to Kim your all alone and sad."

He shook his head, defeated. "Fine."

"Wait," asked Connor, "who's Kim?"

The others just rolled there eyes.
