Dino Days Chapter 5

Conner let out a loud yawn, battling Goldar and time travelling really took it out on a person, and almost destroying himself by morphing didn't help either, then he realised he had no where to sleep "er…guys we have a problem" he stated in a tired tone

"You're all outta play-doh?" Kimberly teased pointing a finger at Conner's stomach as it rumbled right on cue, he looked up out of his now gloveless hand, it had been some time since his red ranger outfit had made its way back to the morphing grid, and threw Kimberly a glare, but she was unfazed.

"No, we have no where to sleep" Conner pointed out, the shock had sunk into Kira and Ethan at that point.

"For once Conner's right, we don't live here and I doubt our parents would appreciate some stranger knocking on their door claiming to be their sons and daughter from the future" Ethan said looking towards Conner as he was playing out the scenario in his head,

"My parents would freak" Kira said jokingly "I could see it now! 'oh hey mum, its me Kira, yes I know I'm 5 years old, but I'm from the future, whilst we're on the subject of things that might give you and dad a heart attack I'm a power ranger and I risk my life everyday fighting a crazy mad man' She would either shut the door on me or breakdown in tears" the morphing teens thought that would be quite funny, after all they hadn't even told their own parents about their ranger activities

"Well I'm sure we can think of something, after all us yellows have to stick together!" Aisha said putting an arm around Kira, Kim did the same but on Kira's other side "and us pinks, we girl rangers have to stuck together" she joined in, "Well Kira, Aisha and me could stay at Aisha's house and tell her parents that we're having a sleepover, I'm sure that won't mind" Kim planned "But you guy's couldn't come along, it's a sleepover rule, no guys till we're older" she said tilting her head in sympathy.

"You could always sleep in the command centre" Alpha suggested, to which the reaction was quite shocking, all 6 mighty morphing teens took no hesitation to shout "No"

"Er..." Everyone had began to look a Tommy "…We wouldn't want them getting in your way that is", lucky for Tommy Alpha had taken his excuse, he could hear Kim whisper something about the command centre not standing there the next day if Conner was left alone in a high-tech base of operation.

Adam was still pondering their situation then it came to him "The beach house by the lake, doesn't Tommy's dad still rent it?" Tommy had nodded to Adam's question, that was a good idea, the beach house would be empty seeing as how Tommy's parents had went on a second honeymoon, leaving Tommy alone, "That's a great idea Adam, and it means that I wouldn't have to explain to the neighbours why 2 guys wearing weird clothing are sleeping in my house, and we could get some beers in", whoa had Conner, Kira and Ethan heard the younger mentor correctly, he's going to let them drink beer!, but all too soon their dream's of the sweet nectar were crushed

"Thomas Oliver, I don't care if you are me, you are not allowed to give the dino teens beer! You may be the leader of your rangers but I'm their leader and responsible for them" The older Tommy was still on screen his expression was crossed, but the younger Tommy had a plan.

"Sorry older me could you repeat that? Your breaking up a bit" the younger man had walked over to a console and started playing with the dials, the finally turned it off, the dino teens were in awe

"Dr. O just got cut off by Dr. O" Conner said as he rejoiced

"You guys know he's not going to be happy tomorrow" Ethan said in fear for the fate of his counterpart on the older Tommy's side

Billy was not impressed, Tommy threw him an apologetic look, "Don't worry, it's just a turn of that dial and it should come back on" Tommy promised, Billy was a bit more sceptical "Should?" it was official Billy wouldn't be joining the guys at the beach house.

---

The older Tommy Oliver looked at his screen as it was flicking with white noise, "Teenagers" he shouted out of frustration, causing the dino teens around him to draw their attention, Hayley was the only one brave enough to break the silence "Tommy, what did you do! We need that connection!" she shouted at him, He threw her a glare "I was gonna give the dino teens beer and then I cut me off" he explained

"You're letting us have beer? Right on Dr O" Conner signalled for a hi-5, which was met by a low growl from Dr O.

"Not me, the younger one version of me, you idiot" Tommy growled at Conner

"As I seem to recall you were rather rebellious when ever someone called you Thomas" smirked Hayley "You of all people should of know that", she was about to receive a growl for her comment as well but she silenced him before he could start "Oh no Tommy Oliver you are not growling at me" she said with ferocity, everyone was scared now even Tommy, and he was bigger and physically stronger then Hayley.

"Good, now they maybe going to be drinking at night in 1995 but you, you have afternoon classes to teach at school" she ordered as Tommy nearly sprinted out of the dino lab

"She's worse than Lord Zedd and Mesogog at times" he whispered to Kira, only to hear this "I heard that Thomas Oliver" ring from the dino lab entrance

'Mental note: Kill the dino teens for drinking, secondly avoid Hayley for the next week, and third kick the white mighty morphin' ranger mannequin in the crotch' Tommy thought to himself, although he wouldn't be able to remember this whole thing when the dino teens are sent back to the right time but he will sure as hell get some relief out of the ones he had in this time. Tommy drove to work that afternoon with a swirl of green ranger styled thoughts.


They had made it to the beach house, Ethan had chickened out for two reasons, one he was slightly pissed off that Tommy would do something like that to his, Billy and Adams work and secondly he didn't wanna have to face Dr. O tomorrow with a hang over, so now it was just Conner and the three rangers of legend, 'Black white and red all over' Conner joked to himself, Tommy fumbled about with the keys trying to remember which keys fit which lock

"Hurry up Tommy this keg is ice cold and heavy" Rocky complained, Adam rolled his eyes, they were only ment to bring a couple of cans and some bottle along with pizza and potato chips, how rocky mistook that for 'hey bring a big keg of beer, last ranger to down it gets to be the new white ranger' was beyond him

"There" Tommy said as he managed to get the door open, as the rangers piled in Conner looked towards the entertainment system couldn't help point out

"This place is outdated I know your zords are from the dinosaur age I didn't realise you lived there as well, where's the DVDs', the plasma screen TV, and the Mp3 players?" everyone looked at Conner as if he had turned bright pink, sprouted wings and a mini skirt and was singing I'm a little teapot backwards

"What are you on about Conner? This is 1995; these things are state of the art" Adam said in a confused tone at Conner's jargon. It then hit Conner "Duh, It hasn't been invented yet, hey what's this?" Conner said being distracted by some small rectangular object which he picked up for a closer look. Rocky snatched it outta his hand,

"That my friend is music, it's a cassette tape" Rocky said dryly waving it in front of Conner's face

"You got to be sh…" but before Conner could finish Tommy had opened one of the cans of beer and shoved it in Conner's hand, "Dude, your nothing like our Dr. O, your awesome, what happened?" Conner joked

Tommy and rocky both jumped down on the couch and began fighting for space, Adam put a hand on Conner's shoulder, "something we thought he would never do, grow up" he joked before jumping on top of the other two, shouting "Leap Frog!". Conner was still in awe, these guys were legends in his time, but in their own time they were just like him and did the same things he did, like goofing off with his friends, Conner had to save this moment, and he took out his mobile setting it to record a video

"Hey guys wanna say something to Dr. O back in his dusty lab?" Conner knew he was gonna get killed for this but while Dr. O was 12 years away he didn't care

"What are you doing?" Adam asked, Conner had to explain that phones could take pictures and make videos in the future

"Well in that case" Tommy said smiling into the mobile "I Thomas Oliver, leader of the power rangers do here by give Conner another beer! Against Dr Oliver's wishes" he joked trying to sound serious, but cracking up towards the end

"Don't worry Dr. O, I'll make sure he's safe and stays outta trouble, nothing could distract me from watching out for another….Hey are those peanuts?" asked Rocky abandoning all attempts to finish his speech, Conner was beaming ear to ear, these guys were just like him, that would drive Dr. O mad, he looked into the phone "Hey Dr. O don't blame me, not my fault your friends are cool, oh by the way bottoms up" he joked as he took a swig from the bottle Tommy had given him he closed his phone and walked back towards the couches where Adam, Rocky and Tommy were looking at him in shock

"What?" Conner didn't know what was going on

"Conner, that was the most foolish thing to do" Tommy said in his responsible leader tone "I mean 'bottoms up', and your calling us outdated" breaking the tone as Rocky burst out laughing

--12 bottles, 4 cans and ½ a beer keg later--

The conversation had moved on from the older Dr O to more ranger related things

"You know, when I was….what was I oh yeah, evil Rita made me her evil lilac ranger!" Tommy said drunkenly howling like a mad man

"Dude. Your wasted man!" Conner couldn't help but try to take a video of this

"Conner why do you…..keep going 'dude', and I don't know about you but I know I'm a man" Rocky tried to act all macho by jumping up on the couch and doing muscle man poses. "Dude, Dude, you're a wasted as well" Adam said trying to mimic Conner, he jumped on the other couch and started doing kung fu kicks "I'm a man cause I can do this" Adam proclaimed trying to do a high kick causing him to land behind the sofa, he tried to get back up, he waved his arms in victory "I'm ok!"

"Pffft, that's nothing" Conner said waving his arm in Adam's direction "This is what makes me a man" Conner said using his dino gem power to move about the room, unfortunately no-one told him he was heading for a wall and sure enough, SMACK, he was kissing wallpaper, Everyone had burst out laughing, and then Tommy shouted out "YELLOW!" loudly, "Rita made me her evil yellow ranger to destroy the other rangers!" Tommy was cackling manically, "Tommy you were the green ranger man!" even Rocky when drunk knew that, Tommy gave him a glare, "I was green, now I'm white, I'm gonna be black, I'll be what ever colour I want"!


Luckily the real yellow rangers were having a nice time without the aid of alcohol, they were talking about crushes they had or from Kim and Aisha's point of view ones Kira will have and doing quizzes from girls magazines

"Ok, final question, Does your man:

A. Holds you in his arms?

B. Holds your hand? Or

C. Holds you tight and never let's go?" asked Aisha, she paused to let Kim and Kira reply, Kim was cuddling her pillow and Kira was strumming on Kimberly's guitar, "C" both girls said, Aisha looked at the results and tallied them up, "Ok, mainly C's 'You enjoy the man who loves to be clean, always a gentleman, but does have his wicked side and dark past', woo spooky" Aisha said getting looks from Kira "Girl, this book's got you down to a T, you sure your not ment to be the pink ranger?" Kira grabbed something behind her and threw it at Aisha, lucky it was just a stuffed animal. Kim lied on her back, "you know girls its right though, Tommy doesn't like getting dirty, and he always treats me like a lady, and he was the evil green ranger" Kim sighed, Kira rolled her eyes she never believed those books, she never brought them, she would read some of her mums

"Oh please, like that has anything to do with me and Trent", she wished she hadn't said that, the other girls both looked at each other then looked at Kira, she rolled her eyes, "look, Trent's not all that clean" she said taking out her phone and showing them a picture of Trent smiling at the phone, Kim and Aisha didn't get what she ment, to them Trent looked quite clean wearing a crisp white shirt with a strange graphic on it, Kim looked bemused "Ok, other than him looking totally hot in the shirt and the fact its taken on your first date doesn't explain why he's not clean" Kim explained her confusion, Kira looked at the photo, "Oh wrong one, wait how did you know it was our first date" Kira said changing the screen to the right picture, Aisha replied this time "Its obvious, the guy put so much effort into looking good just for you it has to of been a first", Kim saw the new picture "Oh. My. God." She was in shock; Trent was covered head to toe in mud with a 'hug me' gesture. Kira had proved her point "That's after he was playing football with Conner, he chased me round the pitch trying to get me to hug him, it took forever to get the mud stains out of my top" she explained. Kim and Aisha rolled their eyes "Kids now-a-days" Kim said trying to sound like her grandmother "they don't know love even if it's staring them in the face" Kira burst out laughing. Aisha had managed to change the phone to show a video, it was of Trent and Kira.

"I love you" Trent voice said as he leaned in and kissed Kira

"I love you too" said Kira's voice as she leaned in and kissed him back

Slowly the deepened the kiss

Aisha threw the phone back to Kira "Good to see the technique hasn't changed much, and the white ranger all ways get the girl" she said turning red, Kira picked up the phone and stopped the video, also turning one or two shades of a darker red than Aisha. "I thought Trent had deleted that" Kira said, keeping her head focused in Kimberly's guitar not wanting to show how badly she was blushing. She decided to break the silence by strumming a few bars of a song she had written, but then felt compelled to sing some of the lyrics:

"Whisper to me in the voice
The one that's only heard by me
Tell me all the things you only told me in your dreams
Whatever you say
I won't leave
I won't judge you for what you believe
Be it good or bad
It's all the same to me

They're just words
so talk to me…"

Kimberly put her hands together and was slowly bobbing her head with the song; she then gave Kira a mini-applause to which Aisha joined in, "That was so nice, did you write it yourself?" Aisha asked, Kira just nodded, she still had Trent on her mind, and the video made her miss him.


"Goldar, you incompetent ninny, you let, not just one but two red rangers, slip what do you have to say for yourself?" Lord Zedd shouted as he began to glow a deep red slamming his fist on the balcony causing sparks to fly from his fist

"I'm sorry sire, it won't happen again" whimpered Goldar, why he kept Goldar around was beyond him, maybe it was Rita's doing, she must be turning him soft

"Make sure it doesn't happen again" he replied sitting down on his throne. 'I'm definitely going soft', "you there" he said pointing towards on of his loyal putties "Tell me have I gone soft?" the putty was confused, if he answered wrong he could be blasted to pieced, if he didn't answer he would be blasted to pieces

"bluuurrbble" he replied he said using his arms to express confusion, Zedd stroked his chin, "Just as I had though, for that honesty I'll spare your life", the putty was safe he let his arms flop back down and relaxed his body, he was about to leave when Zedd punched him in the Z, "I lied" and gave his largest evil laugh "I'm bad to the bone", feeling rather pleased with his evil deed he started to plot the rangers demise for the morning coming

"Shut up Zeddy, some of us are trying to get their beauty sleep to look beautiful in the morning" his wife screeched out

"That woman would need to be a coma to look good in the morning" Zedd murmured

"What was that Zeddy?" Rita screeched again

"I said 'so that's why you look good in the morning'" Zedd lied, 'Finster better be ready with those 2 monsters, they had better be good' he thought, remembering Finster had said he wouldn't need to make anything on earth into a monster, "Tell that to Terri the terrifying teapot" he murmured


Kimberly opened her eyes and got outta bed, she felt great, she had a wonderful nights sleep, she had gotten to gossip to a new yellow ranger about boyfriends, and they had a wonderful Saturday to look forward to, she opened the curtains, the sun was shinning the bird's were happily singing a merry tune

"Kid's, me and the wife are going out to work, have a nice day" shouted Aisha's dad

"Thanks Mr. Campbell, have a nice day as well" Kimberly said as she had rushed to the bedroom door to reply "Aisha says 'bye mum and dad lots of love'", Kimberly loved Aisha's parents they were so nice.

Kira let out a long yawn, "morning" she mustered still half asleep "What time is it?"

"Its 9am, and it's a wonderful day" Kimberly replied, Kira jumped slightly, and then shook her head slightly "Lemme guess, thought that 1995 was just a dream?"

"Something like that I guess" Kira replied "So what's on the agenda today?"

Aisha had finally woke up "First off girl, its breakfast, then we're meeting the guys at the beach house, and I guess we'll be doing what all teenagers do no matter what time their in, Hanging out with friends" she said as she draped an arm around her and Kimberly.

--

The girls had gotten dress, Kim in a short pink skirt and white blouse, Aisha in a yellow t-shirt and denim shorts, Kira, who didn't have a wardrobe was going to wear what she had on yesterday but Kim insisted that she wore some off their clothes; she was wearing a pair of Kim's jeans, which stopped just past her knee, and a flowery yellow top of Aisha's, she wasn't too happy with the flowers but it did make her look nice, Kim had insisted Kira put her hair up with some yellow ribbon, Kira knew she wasn't going to be allowed out of the house without ribbon in her hair. The walk to the beach house was quite pleasant, one guy who looked about 18 wolf whistled at Kira, she had rolled her eyes, she commented to Kim and Aisha that he was 30 to her and that was just gross.

The door to the beach house was locked, but lucky Kim knew where Tommy kept a spare key, and stretched to reach the ledge above the door frame, and sure enough there was it was, Kimberly slowly opened the door, "The guys must be asleep still" Kim said as she walked in, the place was littered with cans and potato chip bags, then there was a sight that nearly broke the 3 girls down, the boys were asleep, Adam looked so peaceful tucked up in a ball asleep on the couch, making the girls simultaneously let out a soft "aww", their eyes moved towards rocky who was sprawled out on the coffee table, then they got to the other couch, "Oh. My. God." Kimberly mouthed, she signaled for Kira and Aisha to turn around and huddle up, Kira could see the grin on Kim's face

"Way ahead of you Kim" she said pulling out her phone to take a photo, she turned around and top the snap Click, the sound confirmed it, that would be one moment she wouldn't let Tommy and Conner forget.

Blissfully unaware of their surroundings Tommy had Conner wrapped in a hug and Conner was facing Tommy no less than 4 inches from his face, also reciprocating the hug, "Kira watch what Kim's about to do" Aisha said as she walked over to Adam and slowly shook him awake, he looked back at her slowly opening his eyes, she had her fingers over her lips and was pointing to the other couch where Kim was standing behind the couch nearing Tommy's ear, Adam saw that he was hugging Conner, and had to stifle a laugh

"Good morning handsome" she whispered in his ear

Tommy slowly opened his eyes, he couldn't make out where the sound had came from his eyes were still blurry, "Up here" Kim helped him, he looked up as his eyes stated to focus, it was Kim, wait if that was Kim who was he holding, he quickly turned back and saw he was really close to Conner's face and was hugging him,

"Ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh" Tommy cried, causing him to drop Conner on the floor with a loud thud waking up both red rangers, and causing Adam to cringe at how loud Tommy was, after all he didn't think that Tommy, Conner or Rocky made sure to drink water before they when to bed, or what ever he and Conner were up to

Rocky woke with a start "I'm up!" he blurted, Conner was now nursing his sore head "What's going on" noticing the grin on a very girly looking Kira, Kimberly turned and hugged Kira "Oh good morning handsome Conner (!)" Kim teased, Kira grinned even more "Speak for yourself Tommy, your not bad your self", they pretended kissed one another on the cheeks "Mwah". Conner still looked blank; Tommy was blushing bright red to rival Conner and Rocky's wardrobe, Aisha had shown the picture to Rocky who was now joining in the kissy noises "By the power invested in me by Zordon, I now pronounce you Mr. and Mr. Tommy Oliver" Adam joked, Kim and Kira broke their little re-enactment, Kim put her arms around Tommy's neck, "That's Mr. Mr. and Mrs. Tommy Oliver, Adam" Kim corrected him.

"Ok will someone please explain what's going on?" Conner was still puzzled, Rocky passed him Kira's phone showing him the photo of himself hugging Tommy and being face to face, Conner's face went deep red, if the teens didn't know any better they could of said he had morphed and was wearing his helmet. Kira snatched the phone off him before he could figure out how to delete the photo

"Kira, you delete that this instance" keeping his voice down, Kira was gonna have some fun, She had often wondered what would happen if she used her dino gem power on someone who didn't like loud noise, this was her chance, she soon found out that they didn't appreciate it, as rocky was trying to bury his head in the couch, Conner was try to put his fingers in his ears, Tommy was just cringing but making no effort to stop her. Adam was just laughing, Kim threw him a questioning look "I'm one of the smart ones" he mouthed back.


Author's notes: Yep, the song is 'Just words' by Emma Lahana, Yes Tommy isn't that responsible when he was Conner's age, and yes Conner is going to be in trouble, and nothing happened between Conner and Tommy or did it? Find out in the next chapter
