"Dr. O, how was it?" Conner asked walking up to his science teacher with a broad grin on his face. They had all been placing bets on how long it would be before Kim and Tommy got back together. Conner had been betting on Jason and Trini's wedding, but by the look on Dr. O's face, that did not seem likely. It seemed more likely that they had fought yet again.

"Good, Trini and Jason say hello," Tommy said as he walked on to his classroom and Conner just stared at him.

"How did things go with…" Conner started as Tommy turned to him and shut him up with one glare. That alone let him know that he had obviously lost, but that was all right, he had only placed twenty dollars on the day. "Okay, I'll see you in class."

"Be on time, McKnight," Tommy said as Conner barely nodded and then turned to go back down the hallway towards his first period class.

"Any luck?" Ethan asked as Conner shook his head no and dug out a twenty. "Keep it man…it's not like we thought it would really happen."

"That's what you say," Conner said as Kira walked up to the two of them. Ever since the defeat of Xanderien they had become friends, maybe not in the most literal sense of the word, but they no longer quarreled constantly which was definitely an improvement over last year.

"So they're still not together?" Kira asked as Conner nodded his head yes and she let out a sigh. "I'm starting to think that we're going to have to do something."

"Like what?" Conner asked as Kira looked over at him. She didn't really have a full idea, but she at least had an inkling of what needed to be done, like lock them in a room and throw away the key. "I'm sure that the others have tried many times to get the two of them back together and it just never works."

"That's because they won't allow it to work," Kira said, pointedly, as she was shoved into him by a passer-by. "Hey! Watch where you're going!"

"Sorry," Trent said turning around and Kira gave him a surprised look. He then continued on his way as she stared at his back, before Conner began waving his hand in front of her eyes.

"Sorry, he just looks so familiar," Kira said as Conner and Ethan nodded.

"He's in our science class," Ethan offered as Kira shook her head.

"It's not from here guys, I'm just not sure where it's from," Kira said as Conner grabbed her hand and pulled her along towards their classroom. It was going to be a long day at Reefside High. They just didn't know exactly how long it would be.

"And that is the anatomy of your average brontosaurs, any questions?" Tommy asked, finishing out his last class of the day only moments before the bell rang. "Good, then would you please do pages 15-20 for homework tonight, tomorrow I expect it to be turned in on my desk, I'm going to have a substitute, but I will know if you don't do it."

"Yeah with his bionic biceps," Cassie murmured as Kira glared daggers at her.

Ever since Dr. Oliver had appeared at Reefside, there had been a non-stop stream of chatter about him, well more precisely his body. Kira, being a girl, was not immune to it, but she had gotten used to the way Dr. Oliver looked and she saw that underneath the strength that he had, there was a man that had been hurt, more times than anyone wanted to count. Well, maybe she only knew that because she knew the story of Kimberly, but that was his business and no one else's.

"Whoa, Kira, you could kill somebody with that," Conner said as he caught her gaze and shuddered. The three of them were hanging behind, like usual, just to see if Dr. O had anything for them to do. Although they were technically retired, they still had powers and were technically the serving rangers, so they had to make sure that nothing new had occurred.

"Guys, I don't have anything for you today, why don't you just go home," Tommy said as he sat down at his chair and placed his head in his hands. He had gotten a call from Jason earlier today that had him worried, but he did not want to share that with the kids just yet. He wanted to make sure that everything had been double, maybe even triple checked before he called them back into the life of being a ranger.

"All right, Dr. O, but don't work too hard on your day off," Kira said with a smile as Tommy barely nodded. If she only knew what he was about to attempt to do, she would not have said that so jokingly. He knew that he had hours of research left tonight before he could lay down to sleep and if he was lucky, tomorrow would be his only day missing from work.

Tommy had seen his fair share of monsters throughout his career, but for the most part the monsters had kept a safe distance away from him once they found out who he was. That was why the phone call from Jason worried him. Whoever this was, knew more about him than he honestly liked to admit. From the fact that he was a ranger, to the fact that his best friend had just gotten married it was too much. It also made him wonder what else they knew.

Did they know about Kimberly? Did they know exactly what his feelings were? It honestly scared him to think that they would know about her and would possibly come after her. He was sure that if Jason took the time to call him that he would also take the time to call Kimberly as well, at least that was what he hoped. The fact was he had been so dumbfounded that Jason and Trini had been attacked that he hadn't thought to ask. He had just thought of getting home and starting to scan the earth for this new evil.

"Dr. Oliver," Principal Randall said as she walked into his room and he looked up from his desk. "What is this emergency that you have that you must take a day off tomorrow?"

"No real emergency, I just need a personal day, the last couple of weeks have gotten to me," Tommy lied as Principal Randall gave him a searching look. "Is there something wrong with that?"

"No, Dr. Oliver, I was just assuming that you would want to be here for the presentation tomorrow," Principal Randall said as Tommy gave her a confused look. What sort of presentation was she talking about?

"I'm not quite sure that I am following you," Tommy said as Principal Randall leaned over his desk and stared him in the eyes.

"The presentation of Mesogogg, I thought you would have figured it out by now," Principal Randall said as she morphed into Elsa and Tommy sprung up from his seat, before slamming himself into the chalk board, out of pure shock. "I guess it's time you come out to play."
