Chapter 17

The first two classes went by on uneventful all though Billy and Jason had to tell the teachers that Zack had a dentist appointment. Recesses had just started when Zack came running into the school grounds and over to them.

"Zack where have you been?" Trini asked him.

"Getting something" Zack told her. "Where's Michelle?"

"Over there" Kimberly pointed over to a tree.

"I don't see her." Zack told them.

"She's around the other side." Billy said.

"Thanks." Zack said as he ran off.

"I hope his plan works." Jason told the others as they watched him run over to Michelle's hiding spot.

"Hey Michelle." Zack said when he saw her sitting with her back against the tree.

"Hi Zack" Michelle muttered.

"Can I sit down?"

"If you want."

Zack smiled and dropped down next to her. "What's wrong?"

"They ruined your birthday present now it's lost for ever."

"I would not say that." Zack told her. "You see this morning I went back to the place we had had the battle and." Zack pulled a small box out of his bag and handed it to her.

"What is this?" Michelle asked him.

"Open it" Was all that Zack said.

Michelle gave him a strange look and took off the lid of the box. Michelle looked down into the box, to see what looked like piece of clay painted black. After a couple of minutes looking at it then realized that it was all the piece of the Mammoth that she had made for Zack.

"Zack why?" "I knew it was something that you had made from the heart and I could not let a gift like that slip away." Zack smiled. "Even if it is broken I will always keep it." Zack said taking the box putting the lid back on and slipping it into his bag.

Michelle's eye started to water. "Oh Zack," She cried and hugged him.

Zack smiled at her. "You ready to join the others now?" Zack asked after Michelle had stopped crying. "Billy is really worried."

Michelle just nodded and got to her feet.

Suddenly Zack communicator went off. "Zack here" Zack said into it.

"Zack there is a monster attacking Angle Grove park joins the others at once." Zordon told him. "Got to go Michelle" Zack told her and transported out of there.

Michelle shrugged and sat back down. There was no point going any where she had the next line off and the others were fighting a monster of some sort. Suddenly she was transported out of there.
