Nicole sat on a stool in Tommy's classroom at lunch, "Something on your mind, Bro?"
"It's Connor, He wants to quit being a ranger," Tommy replied. "I'm not sure what to do about that."
Nicole bit her lip, thinking of a way to help the red dino ranger, trying to think of a way to let Connor know that being a ranger is something that has to be done, "I think I know how to help him,"
"Really?" asked Tommy, did he dare hope that Nicole would talk some sense into Connor.
The warning bell rang signaling the two teachers it was time to get back to class, "I'll see you later, Tommy,"
"You too, and thank you." Tommy replied
Nicole walked down the hallway filled with students going about their business, she walked passed the red ranger, she paused as she saw Randell out of the corner of her eye.
"McKnight!" She barked,
Connor paused as he was about to go to his locker, and saw who called him the music director, and second Mentor of the Dino Ranger team. He walked over looking down like he been caught at something he shouldn't have done.
"You wanted me to see me, Mrs. S?" Connor asked
Nicole glared at him "Meet me after school,"
"Yes, Ma'am." Connor replied, wondering why she wanted to talk to him.
By the end of the day, Nicole knew how to address the problem of Connor wanting to end his career as a Ranger, she would let it slip somewhat of her past as a Solider, and she was a ally of the Senshi of Japan.
"Mrs. S?"
Nicole looked up dazed, she was thinking about helping Connor she clearly forgot to dismiss her seventh hour,
"Sorry, You may go." Nicole stated. She looked at her watch, it was three on the dot. She was going to pick up Trini at three fifteen, so she had ten minutes to discuss quitting the team, with Connor.
The said Ranger walked in, Nicole smiled at him, "Come sit with me in my office, while I get ready to leave,"
"Okay, but I have soccer practice." Connor stated,
Nicole raised an eyebrow at that, "You know I lived in Juban District of Japan before I moved to Angel Grove."
"So," Connor asked "What does that have anything to with me."
"It doesn't, but I had this group of friends that ran off as soon as there was a monster attack, the second they were gone, the Sailor Senshi would appear, for the longest time, I thought they were the same people, but their leader Sailor Moon, decided she didn't want to be the leader anymore."
"Dr. O told you about me quitting the team." Connor guessed.
"Yeah, but Sailor Moon found out she was a princess and her team was bent on protecting her," Nicole stated, "You on the other hand are only thinking about what you want."
Connor looked at her,
"Let me explain, You tried out for the Reefside Waves, how about thinking about the others, Kira is in a band and has to leave her rehearsals to save the world, and Ethan...well he has computer alone for five minutes."
"what about the mentors?" asked Connor not seeing the point.
"I'm not sure what that terminal bachelor is giving up to mentor you bunch of misfits, but I'll tell you what I'm giving up. My family life before Mesogog, right now I would be picking up Trini from school then going to home to clean the place, but no..I have to go to Tommy's place and watch your battles and find dino eggs," Nicole answered, "Think about what would happen to Kira, Ethan, and Tommy if leaving is what you decide then have a farewell battle,"
"Right," Connor stated then his communicator beeped,
"Go, I pick up my kid then meet you guys at Haley's." Nicole was already on her feet getting her grade book and quizzes together, with her purse.
~~~~Sometime later~~~~~
Nicole was watching the battle on the computer screen, her daughter sleeping on Tommy's couch upstairs, She gasp as a little girl was in the way of the tyrannodrones. But a morphed Connor saved her,
"I knew he would make the right choice." Nicole stated,
"What did you tell him and did you see that?" Tommy
"I just told him about Serena wanting to quit being a Senshi, without revealing about who i am or was." Nicole answered, "No, I didn't see it coming."
~~~At Haley's Cybercafe~~~~
Kira and Ethan didn't look happy as Nicole walked in, she decided that she would spend some mother-daughter bonding with Trini and Haley's was the only place she could think that would be fun.
"So was that your last battle?" asked Ethan
"No, that little girl thanked me for saving her and we're a team aren't we?" Connor replied.
Little did they know Tommy was kidnapped by Zeltrax tyrannodrones.
