"One hundred and seventy nine more miles," Jason Scott told himself. He had been riding his motorcycle all day. He had been taking a few breaks here and there, of course; no one in their right mind would drive from San Francisco to Angel Grove all on one trip. The heat of the California sun was beating down on Jason's jacketed back. His dark brown hair was wet with sweat.

Not being able to take the heat any longer, Jason took the next exit in search for a good place to cool down in. It didn't take him too long to find a place, seeing that he was not particularly picky. He rode is motorcycle into a parking spot and took off his helmet and gloves. He wiped the sweat of his forehead and began to take off his jacket.

"Hi," a random girl said as she passed by. Jason only gave her a small smile.

"Jail bait," Jason thought. He looked up at the sign that read Cyberspace Café. He noticed the small groups of teenagers walking in. He also noticed the many looks the teenage girls were giving him. Jason looked up and down the street. Seeing that there was nowhere else he could go to cool down and grab a drink, he hesitantly entered the café. The girl from earlier spotted him from across the room and gave a small wave. Jason ignored her and decided to stick to the bar that was being wiped down by the only adult in the café. He sauntered over and placed his jacket on the bar stool beside him.

"Hello," the redhead said.

Jason nodded his greeting.

"Either you're new in town or just passing through."

"Just passing through."

"Well, welcome to Reefside! "

"Thanks."

"So, what can I get for you?"

"Just a root beer please."

"Nothing to eat?" Hayley asked as she reached for a mug.

"No, thanks. I'm just here for a drink and to cool down."

Hayley set the mug filled with root beer in front of him. She took note of his tan face with sweat streaks running down. She then glanced out the window and caught sight of a motorcycle.

"Yours?" Jason followed her gaze and nodded. "Where you headed, if you don't mind me asking?"

"Angel Grove," Jason smiled.

Hayley showed a look of surprise . "Angel Grove?"

"Yeah, home sweet home."

"A good friend of mine used to live there. When was the last time you were there?" Hayley asked, curiosity coming over her.

"Seven years ago," Jason replied. Beginning to feel uneasy with Hayley's questioning, he asked for the location of the men's rest room. Hayley pointed it out and Jason excused himself.

"Angel Grove…Seven years ago… From what I recall, Tommy was still there with his old group of rangers." Hayley shook her head as if to dismiss her thought. "It's just a coincidence. But he does look familiar…"

"Hayley!" The redhead jumped, dropping the glass she had in her hands.

"Connor!" Hayley, Kira, Ethan, and Trent all cried at the same time.

"Sorry!"

"You better clean this up Connor McKnight!" Hayley cried. Connor made his way to the back to grab the broom and dustpan.

"Are you okay Hayley?" Kira asked.

"Yeah, Connor just scared me."

"Well, we did try to get your attention once we came through the door," Ethan told her.

"Sorry, I was just deep in thought."

"About what?" asked Trent.

"About him," Hayley whispered as Jason made his way back from the bathroom.

"Who is he?" Trent whispered back.

"Is that your boyfriend?" Ethan asked, not bothering to lower his voice. Hayley blushed then glared at Ethan.

"He looks familiar," Kira said.

Hayley nodded," That's what I thought to. And get this, he's on his way to Angel Grove."

"Isn't that where Dr. O-"

"Am I interrupting something?" Jason asked. He heard what the teenager dressed in blue had said but didn't want to make a big deal out of it.

"No!" they all cried together. Jason just smiled.

"Well, I gotta get going." Jason brought out his wallet.

"Oh no, the root beer's on the house."

"You sure?" Jason asked.

Hayley nodded. Jason thanked her once again and walked out the café.

"Who was that guy?" Connor asked, finally coming back with the broom and dustpan.

"I didn't get his name," Hayley explained. "But he said that he was on his way to Angel Grove."

"So?" Kira rolled her eyes at their former leader.

"So it means that Dr. O could've known him!"

"Kira, Angel Grove probably has hundreds, maybe thousands of people living there and, in my opinion, Dr. O is just not that popular."

"Really?" Connor froze before slowly turning around.

"Dr. O! Didn't see you standing there!"

"Did you just get in?" Hayley asked.

"Yeah, why? And why does Connor think I'm not popular?"

Kira looked at Hayley, who only said, "No reason. It was just a silly thought of mine that-"

"There was a guy who was just in here and he looked familiar and Hayley said he was on his way back to Angel Grove and we were thinking that maybe you knew him," Kira said all in one breath.

Tommy looked from Kira and Hayley, confusion written all over his face. "O…kay? I'll humor you and ask how he looks like."

"Or you can just see for yourself," Trent spoke up. "He's coming back in here."

Tommy turned around a saw a guy walking in with a motorcycle helmet on his head. The man walked towards the bar, not noticing Tommy.

"Hey, did I happen to leave my jacket here?"

Tommy's jaw slightly dropped at the sound of the stranger's voice.

"Jason?!"

The guy with the helmet over his head turned to look at Tommy.

"Tommy?!"

Jason lifted the visor of his helmet. The two friends both stepped forward and gave each other a hug.

"What are you doing here?"

"I live here now," Tommy replied.

"You two actually know each other?" Connor asked. "So Kira was actually right?"

Kira smacked Connor's head.

"Yeah, Jason and I went to high school together."

"Was he also a power ranger?"

Kira, Ethan, and Trent all jumped to cover Connor's mouth.

Jason looked shocked, while Tommy looked embarrassed.

"Wha- you- he-" Jason stammered. He turned to look at his old friend. He then noticed that Tommy was clad in a black tank with a black and white plaid shirt. "You have a lot of explaining to do bro."

Tommy nodded and threw a glare at Connor. "Why don't we all head to my house? I can explain there."

Jason nodded. Tommy, Jason, and the teenagers filed out of the café and took their separate vehicles to Tommy's house.
