2007: (The Future, before the dino teens left)

"There, we've managed to stabilise the connection" Hayley said cheerfully, "It was simple really we just had to route a cellular function to the frequency modulator within the morphing grid, thus stabilising the call and ensuring the power doesn't overload the power coins or the dino gems"

"What..."All 6 dino teens shouted at the same time just as confused as one another; no matter the time zone she was just too smart for them causing her to roll her eye

"I think she said she's using the morphing grid as a relay between the past and the future, and Hayley and Billy have ensured that this won't overload over morphers" Adam's voice said over the screen, after Trini left it was up to him to help the others understand Billy's techno jargon .

Billy gave him a glance, "She just said that" obviously the only one that got it the first time around


1995: (Dino teens and Morphing teens)

"So now that we've got a firm connection to the future, what do we do now?" Asked Aisha, looking slightly bemused at what she had just said

"We have to coordinate our efforts with the dino teens from 2007; we both have to construct the same device and both synchronize our efforts to get these dino teens back to their future" Billy explained

Tommy was still looking at the viewing globe, it was a bit un-nerving seeing his future self, lucky the other teens on both sides were busing themselves with their efforts, leaving the two staring at one another

"So…" the both said at the same time, causing his younger self to chuckle slightly

"I see I grow up to be such a great conversationalist" the younger man smiled

"Well something's never change" The older Tommy said throwing a glance towards Conner and Rocky in the white Tommy's command centre, causing the younger to turn to see Rocky giving Conner 'tips' it was either on how to get a girl or how to be a good red ranger

He smiled back at his self, lowing himself down to sit on the step in the command centre floor, he was about so speak but was broken off

"Guys, lets leave the blues and black to work their brains off" Aisha joked

"Aisha's right, there's no point all of us being here, besides" Kim smirked as she linked arms with Kira "Means we can go shopping, and I can tell her a few thing's about 'Dr. O' that her mentor might not of told her" Kira's eyes widened, though she didn't like the idea of shopping for fashion let alone fashion 12 years out of date but the idea of getting some dirt on Dr O was worth it. Both Tommy's threw each other a glance and then glared at Kim

"Not the green ranger stare, ones bad enough now there's two of them" Kim said feeling her skin crawl she walked over to the young Tommy and kiss him on the forehead and blew one to the older Tommy on the screen, which earned him some 'whoops' of joy from the Conner on both sides

"Ok we are so outta here" and with that the two red, two yellow and one pink ranger teleported out of the command centre on route for angel grove mall

--

Adam looked towards Tommy looking at himself in the viewing globe "Your not going along?" he asked

The younger Tommy looked up towards where Adam's voice had came from "I'm gonna get acquainted with myself, if that makes any sense" Tommy smiled

"Owww" someone on the older Tommy's side was in pain, Billy, Adam, Alpha and the younger Tommy all turned to see what the commotion was

"Conner has just been hit by Dr O for the 'whooping' remark" Ethan said not even looking up from his console, he was right the older Tommy had Conner's arm behind Conner's back

"Uncle, uncle!" Conner cried over the speaker, finally getting him arm back "Sorry Dr. O", Zordon's command centre was completely quiet, the older Tommy walked back to the screen and sat back down in the chair that was at the desk

"Teenagers" he said putting his face in his hands, and then slowly looking up from them "No offence" he had forgotten they were all still teenagers back than

Alpha broke the silence

"Tell me about it, just yesterday we only had to deal with these 6, now we have 9" Alpha joked "Aye yai yai"

This caused all the teens in the same room to start laughing, even the older Tommy was enjoying the jokes old days

--

"So what are things like in the future?" Tommy asked rewarding him a frown from his older self "nothing that would affect the future, like I already know about me becoming a doctor some how, but a mentor to the rangers, that's a bigger jump from green to white"

The older Tommy sighed "You mean things like the pop quiz your math's teacher is gonna make you take tomorrow?" he joked trying to lighten the mood

"You're joking right?" The young Tommy said unsure as to what his older counterpart was saying Ethan took this chance to make a comment, knowing Dr O couldn't get him for it

"Oh no, Dr O's too uptight for jokes, he the serious one, and the really really dull one" Ethan smirked, though how the next few minutes played out wasn't quite as he planned

"Ethan could you come over here please" asked Dr O to the oblivious Ethan

"Yeah Dr O" the Ethan on Dr O's side had taken his bate "Owww" Dr O had smacked him at the back of the head "What was that for?"

Dr. O smiled not sure if it was the right tense but said it anyway "Something your gonna say"

Ethan added to his description of Dr O for the younger Tommy "And ruthlessly mean"

The younger man smiled "I'm guessing another green ranger trait" he said glancing at his older self


Still 1995: Angel Grove mall

"That is so lame and so cheesy" Kira said nearly spilling her soda over the table "When we get back I'm gonna use that the next time he tries to give us detention" he actually enjoyed being able to talk to girls about 'colorful' things

"Wait Tommy gives you detentions?" Kim frowned "That's a scary thought"

"What's even scarier is the fact Tommy, of all people, became a teacher" Rocky exhaled at the thought, Conner had finally found it comfortable to be around a living legend like Rocky and had laughed at the joke without seeming like he was still sucking up to the greatness what was rocky.

"He maybe the world greatest ranger, but he is one mean teacher, I mean who gives their team mates homework?" Conner said almost in disbelief. Kim threw her hands up and motioned Conner to stop talking "If its all ok with you I think I don't wanna know anything more about my boyfriend being a teacher" she said in a disgusted tone, Kim twisted on her chair to face Kira "So Kira, tell me more about this Trent".

Conner decided to punch in before Kira could even register the question "What's there to say about him, evil white ranger, tricked Dr O incasing him in amber, tricked us into thinking he was good, finally turned good, still not too trusting of him though", Kira threw him an evil glare to even rival Tommy's green ranger stare, Kim rolled her eyes "other than that I'm sure he real sweet" she smiled at Kira, Kira dug into her backpack and pulled out her cell phone and showed Kim and Aisha a text Trent had sent her a few days before. Both girls sighed lovingly after reading it

"Uh-oh" said both red rangers as they began to scarper from the table they were sat at, once they were clearly outta earshot Kira turned to Kim and Aisha "There was nothing on that text, I showed you the wrong one" she said puzzled. Kim and Aisha looked at one another

"Oh it's a little trick we've picked up if we ever want some girl time" Kim said trying to sound angelic as she could with a big evil grin on her face, "works every time" emphasizing the last words, "So what was this text thing you were gonna show us?"

"Basically phones can send mini letters to one anther" Kira explained, not knowing the full details of how texting works "Ah here it is" she handed over her phone so the two other girls could see

The yellow rose of my eye

My white glove cresses your face

As the colors combine I know your mine

And my lips await your embrace

"If that's not love I don't know what is" Aisha said warmly handing Kira her phone.


"Zeddy!" Rita screeched

"What's wrong my little sugar plum?" Lord Zedd said through the grill plates on his face

"Finster's taking forever to make a new monster, and I want those new power brats gone" the witch complained knowing that she would get her way if she bugged her gruesome husband long enough. Zedd was sitting in his chair tapping his claws against his throne, then he walked over to the balcony looking over the earth, he used his scope and spotted something that might cheer up his wife

"Why look Rita, the red power punks are all alone in the park playing 'football'" Zedd said beginning his scheming, Rita joined him, "Let make it a match they won't forget, Goldar get down there now" he screamed

--

Conner was in a great mood given the current time zone, he was playing football, hanging out with one of the red rangers of legend it was like a dream come true, then he heard something that thought it might be more of a nightmare

"Puny red rangers prepare to meet your doom" Goldar had announced his entrance Conner looked up at Goldar, he wasn't impressed this lackey was no where near as bad as Zeltrax

"I'm supposed to be afraid of some golden monkey thing?" he said raising his voice to Goldar, "Your 12 years outta date from where I'm standing" this angered Goldar causing him to fire bolts out of his sword towards the rangers, with that instinct took over, in mid back flip no doubt

"It's morphing time, Tyrannosaurus"

"Dino thunder power up!"

As the smoke cleared Goldar was presented with two red, fully morphed, rangers, Conner was amazed his morpher worked, he turned his gaze towards the other red ranger

"Mighty Morphing Red Ranger" Rocky called taking up his usual red ranger stance

"Dino Thunder Red Ranger" Conner followed suit taking up a pose not to dissimilar to Rocky's.

The two red rangers back flipped their way up to Goldar both simultaneously punching him in the stomach, Goldar brought himself back upwards towards the two rangers and started slashing his sword at them, if Goldar was gonna use weapons so were they

"Power sword" as usual Rocky's weapon appeared from the depths of the morphing grid

"Tyranno Staff" unfortunately the same could not be said for Conner's weapon a red cylinder flickered in and out and then vanished, 'I guess there has to be some limit to this morphing fluke, hopefully this one still works' Conner thought "Scrub that, Super dino mode!" 'Yes' it had worked he could feel the power flowing,

Conner caught up with Rocky who was in a power struggle over swordsmanship, he went behind Goldar's back and tapped him on the shoulder

"What" Goldar said as turned to see a red fist knock him to the floor and proceeded to drag him along the park grass towards a tree, placing his back to the trunk next thing he saw was two spinning hook kicks from both sides causing him to fall forward, Rocky and Conner then placed their boots on Goldar's back, pinning him to the floor. Rocky looked over towards Conner and tilted his head

"I say that is one nice suit" he said in a fake posh accent though there was some truth to it, Rocky was impressed, still keeping Goldar pinned, Conner knew this tactic and reciprocated "Why thank you, I must compliment on your colorful outfit" he played back to rocky "Red is rather dashing on you". That was it Goldar couldn't stand the usual red rangers banter let lone have it in stereo and vanished beneath their feet, Rocky looked down then at Conner "maybe he doesn't like red?" he joked. A loud cheer was heard around him, Conner looked around the park, everyone had seen their fight, and hopefully they only saw the part after the smoke or else they would be in trouble with both Tommy's.

A reported approached the two rangers, she was in her mid 20s, knee high skirt, pink blouse and long blond hair, the rangers couldn't see her camera-man behind his camera, and she smiled at the two

"Wow that was amazing, Sarah Fox channel 3 news" she smiled cheerfully as she extended a hand out to the red rangers, Rocky shook it, he wasn't too sure about this after all, he didn't know what she was gonna wanna ask one red ranger let alone two. She shook Conner's gloved hand "I don't think the people of Angel Grove have been introduced to you" tilting her head slightly, Conner decided he might as well play along "Dino Thunder, red ranger" he said striking a slight pose, Rocky put his left arm over Conner's neck and placed his hand on Conner's shoulder "He was in the area and decided to look me up" Rocky said trying to disguise his voice and thumbing between Conner and himself. "Oh so he's not replacing you?" she asked sincerely, Conner could feel Rocky's grip tighten on his shoulder at her words it took all of Rocky's restraint to stop himself pulling his blade blaster and shooting the camera, Conner shock his head and nearly laughed "Me? Replace him" Conner said thumbing towards Rocky "I could never replace the original red ranger, I mean sure I'm good but not that good" he felt Rocky's grip loosen, playing to his ego worked well, Sarah arched a brow "ok…Do you have any words of advice for the kids at home?" she said slightly scared of this new red ranger. Conner couldn't think, Rocky had managed to get something out "Stay in school" the pressure was on Conner had to say something

"Play-doh tastes funny" he blurted out, Rocky dipped his face into his glove, he took his arm off Conner's shoulder and gave him a shove. Sarah was amazed; this red ranger wasn't as bright as the usual one "uh…ok, that was enlightening to say the least" she said trying to show sympathy, Rocky couldn't believe it, here he was trying to be a good idol for the kids and Conner goes and blows it, "I'm sorry the helmet must be cutting the oxygen to his brain, We best get back to our command centre" and with that Rocky grabbed Conner and activated the transporter command on his morpher, he was not gonna live this down anytime soon

The TV screen had shown a full report and the blond hair woman was finishing her segment "I'm Sarah Fox reporting live for channel 3 news", the woman had disappeared and the program had went back to channel 3's news room. Kira, Kim and Aisha were all in shock they looked at one another trying to see if they all saw the same thing then Kimberly spoke "Play-doh?!" that was it they all lost it, the couldn't contain themselves, Kira was trying to get her breathing back to normal "wait….till Trent and Ethan…hear about this" she managed to muster before breaking down again.


"Two red beams of energy filled the command centre and there stood the two red rangers, they both took off their helmets

"Man, that was dumb" Rocky said dryly

"What could I of done? They put me on the spot, we're not used to professional reporters interviewing us" Conner tried to grasp at any excuse he could

Rocky smiled back "Well you were right about one thing, Play-doh does taste funny" giving Conner a friendly shove, their antics were broken by alpha

"What's Play-doh" Asked alpha as he turned around from his console being shocked at the sight "Aye yai yai yai, what are you doing Conner, we haven't been able to stabilize the morphing grid to support the additional rangers, you could have been destroyed" Rocky looked at Alpha, with a look of confusion

"Didn't the alarms go off? Goldar attacked us in the park" Rocky explained "He blasted us and we did what came naturally"

Zordon's booming voice filled the command centre "It appears our connection to the future has compromised the command centre's security, however due to the circumstances I must say that Conner, Tommy has been trained you well, risking your life to save another rangers" the older Tommy felt his heart swell, Zordon was proud of what he had accomplished, it was good to know

"Dude, how come's you were able to morph?" Ethan asked thinking it was unfair.

"Dude" Conner mimicked "Sure it was fun fight along side Rocky but I couldn't call for my staff" the people around him were in amazement at the fact he risked his life and all he could care about was his Tyranno staff

"I think I can explain" Hayley's voice said "I believe when your Conner morphed in your time he was partially in sync with the morphing grid of this time, granting him his morpher, but being partially in sync means he has a limited arsenal, such as no Tyranno Staff and definitely no megazord, the only reason I have as to why he wasn't destroyed was the fact there was only 2 rangers engaged in combat, allowing Conner's dino gem to feed off the other rangers powers"

Billy nodded "basically like a leech drawing blood from a body, except in this case it's a red ranger and a morphing grid"; everyone one was relived that he had put in plain words what Hayley had said,

"But that doesn't explain the play-doh" Adam joked

"I'm quite perplexed about that as well" Billy agreed,

Rocky smirked "It was the fifteen minutes of humiliated fame for the tough red dino ranger" he dodged a punch from Conner "We had just finished fighting Goldar and this reporter comes along asking for a quick interview so we though why not they had already seen us, so she thought Conner was replacing me"

"Lemme guess you pulled out your blade blaster and shot at the camera man's camera" said both the older Tommy and the younger one

"Oh god, we've got them in stereo" Rocky joked looking at Adam and Billy "no I didn't, lucky Conner said that he could never replace me, so she asked if we had any advice, I said stay in school, was the best I could think of, Einstein here blurts out that play-doh tastes funny" everyone had began laughing, lucky the dino teens on Dr. O's had went home, this was just too rich cause he was in hysterics

Ethan quoted Rocky "'fifteen minutes of humiliated fame of the red ranger', I'm sure you could find a place for it in the viewing globe archives couldn't you Dr O?" he said very smugly.

"Trust me Ethan if I had the footage the whole of Reefside would have seen it" Dr O gave an evil smirk, just then two yellow beams and one pink beam of energy filled the command centre, an all to familiar tone was in Kira's voice "You know Conner that's great advice, Play-doh does tastes funny, if your crazy enough to eat it" it was her usual mocking tone, Conner's head dipped lower into his gloved, he wanted the command centre to swallow him whole

"Is there anyone who doesn't know?" He asked not aiming it at anyone; Ethan was the only one that spoke "Trent, that's about it" Ethan said smiling.

"Oh that can be fixed easily" Kira said evilly, she showed Ethan the video she had taken on her cell phone, Ethan had to hold his sides in this was too rich for their tastes, it was pure gold, she played it back to the mighty morphing teens, Billy was the only one amazed at how cell phone technology had advanced in 12 years.
