"Come on, is this the best you can do?" Theo smirked cockily as his two friends held him steady on the mat. They were attempting an arm locked, but apparently it wasn't working so well.

"Stop your jabbering and just get out of it, if you can," Lily grinned, turning to her best friend for a moment. She would have held a tighter grip on Theo, if Ronny wasn't glaring down at her with an angry gaze.

When RJ had heard of Ronny and her Ranger days, he gave her permission to train the three cubs. Kaylee took this as time off and sat watching them from the kitchen.

"Ron, seriously, you gotta back off," Lily growled, kicking her sister's leg.

"You can do better than that, Lillian Kayleigh Chilman," Ronny frowned.

"How can we do better?" Casey grinned, "Theo's stuck! There's no way he's getting out of this one!"

"You've gotta be kidding me!" Theo laughed, shaking his head in shame, "This is child's play! It's not even worth breaking a sweat over!"

"I knew it," Lily smirked, "Theo can't get out of it!"

"Don't get cocky, runt!" Ronny yelled, enjoying being the boss.

Theo took this as his cue and jerked him arms forward carelessly, slamming Casey and Lily into each other, before pulling them apart and dropping them on their backs on the mat.

"Aha!" he beamed, skipping happily, rubbing his victory in their faces.

"he got out of it," Casey sighed, rubbing his head as it stopped pounding.

As soon as Lily opened her eyes after the harsh drop, she saw her sister standing over her, with her face inches above her. Lily growled and swatted the older girl away.

"Don't say it," she frowned, dusting herself off.

"You fail!" Ronny laughed, poking her sister in the shoulder as Lily walked to the bench to get a drink from her bottle. "F-A-I-L! FAIL!"

"I knew she was going to do it," Lily shook her head as she looked up at Kaylee. "She always does it."

"Poor, poor little sister," Kaylee laughed, quoting herself from her Overdrive days.

-----Jungle-Fury-----

As if beating Casey and Lily upstairs wasn't enough, Theo decided it would be fun to show off another talent he possessed, spinning pizza pies on sticks. Fran, Casey, Lily, Kaylee and Ronny watched on, impressed.

"Get them while they're hot!" Theo called, pushing the door to the dining room open. Using the sticks he tossed the pizza plates up into the air, catching the pizza on a wooden board before tossing them to the correct tables. Everyone in the room applauded as he cut the slices evenly.

"He's amazing," Casey marvelled, finding it hard to take his eyes off Theo's demonstration of skill.

"That's Theo," Lily nodded, "When he does something, he does it better than anyone."

"Better than me?" Ronny asked, looking down at her sister and nudging her playfully.

"Ron, no one is better than you," Lily laughed.

As Theo took on all the jobs single-handedly, the others continued to watch in amazement.

"I wonder how he does it," Lily smiled.

"I wonder how he's so good," Casey added.

"I wonder if he could teach me," Fran smirked.

"I wonder if he's the only employee I need," RJ said from nowhere as the others turned to look at him, surprised by his sudden appearance, and a little offended by his comment. RJ noticed this and put his hands in the air defensively, "I joke... it was a joke."

The solar morphers suddenly beeped simultaneously, causing it to echo through the store. The Rangers quickly shoved their belongings and notepads in Fran's arms as they ran off.

As Fran tried to balance all the extra stuff, RJ and Ronny slowly backed away into the kitchen, towards the loft.

"This is mean," Ronny informed the store owner, but RJ shrugged.

"Do you want to tell her this is going to happen for another year or so?" RJ asked.

Ronny shook her head no, before the two ran upstairs.

Back in the dining room, Fran watched as the others left and sighed, "Why are they always leaving me?" she frowned. "Well, it looks like it's just you and me, right boss?"

She turned around, but noticed RJ was gone, "Boss? RJ? Ronny?" she looked around for the two others, but couldn't see them.

-----Jungle-Fury-----

Gakko stood on the side of an office building, laughing as he saw civilians running for dear life.

"Look at them running from me," he chuckled, "They scatter like aunts! They know they're about to meet their end, and no one can save them!"

"Up there!" Lily yelled, pointing to the side of the building where Gakko stood. The others followed her point and frowned. Kaylee sighed, hitting her helmet with her hand.

"That's a new one," she said, "Fighting on the side of a building... how odd."

"Come up here, kitties!" Gakko taunted, waving his hand.

"Come and fight on the ground, coward!" Casey yelled.

"What's the matter? Did you lose your roar?" Gakko grinned, pacing along the building. "You may be able to fight on the ground, Rangers, but on the side of a building, that's where real warriors battle."

"Since when?" Kaylee asked, "I don't remember the battle of Troy happening on the side of a building... or even the Romans, did they fight on buildings? Did they have buildings?"

"Kaylee, shut up."

"Sorry," Kaylee breathed. She heard Ronny sigh on the other end before communication died.

"I'll come up to you!" Casey yelled, jumping up to the building, wielding his junglechuks, until Gakko kicked him in the chest, knocking him down to the ground.

As Casey got to his feet, with some help from the other three, Gakko laughed happily.

"Now pay close attention," he called to the Rangers, "Geckos have an uncanny ability to stick to anything they walk on!"

"So does duct tape!" Kaylee yelled.

"If you wanna fight up there, tell you what, I'll bring it on!" Theo yelled, jumping up, before being slammed down by the monster, just like Casey. As he cradled his injuries, Gakko laughed harder.

"Not even close," he grinned, before sending an energy wave down and slamming it into Theo, "Apparently you have no stick-to-itness."

Gakko turned to walk up the building, while the others helped Theo to his feet.

"I'm clearly superious," Gakko smirked, waving goodbye to the Rangers. "You're lucky Rangers! Cause us no more problems, or I'll return an show you no mercy! Bye-bye!"

"Another day Gakko!" Casey yelled. When the gecko was gone, he turned to Theo, "Good try, Theo, you almost got him."

"No... he made a foold of me!" Theo sighed, pushing away from his friends and walking off.

"What?" Casey frowned, turning to the girls.

-----Jungle-Fury-----

Theo sat in a borner booth, sulking over the last battle as he played with a jaguar figurine. From the counter, Ronny, Lily, Kaylee and Casey watched on, worried.

"What's up with Theo?" Ronny asked, pointing to the blue Ranger. "He ordered that pizza an hour ago and he still hasn't even taken a bite."

Lily shrugged before walking over to the booth, sitting across from Theo. The others watch her from beside the jukebox.

"What's up, Theo?" Lily asked in a voice that made her sound a little too cheery. Theo looked up at her, annoyed, but let her speak. "You wanna do something, have some fun, go for a..."

"Go. Away," Theo snapped. Lily looked a little hurt by his comment. She joined her friends by the jukebox as Casey tried his hand.

"Hey," he smiled, sitting at the table. "You know, Lily drives me crazy sometimes, always trying to be so peppy... oh, by the way, can you show me how to spin pies like you were doing before?"

"No."

Lily growled, approaching the table and slamming her hand down, "Snap out of it, T. If RJ finds out you've just been sitting here all day he could fire you!"

"Good, fire me, please," Theo sighed.

"Look, I'm just the new guy here," Casey started, "and I may not have the right to say this, but you lost a fight. We lost a fight, it's not a big thing! You can't just fold your tent and go home."

"You're right," Theo smiled, before it dropped, "You don't have any right. And yeah, I can just fold my tent and go home! I lost that fight..."

"You're acting like this is the end of the world," Lily frowned.

"It is!" Theo growled, "I lost that fight! I never lose anything! The gods better just take me now, because..."

"Shut the fuck up, T," Kaylee yelled, her fist clenched and her blood boiling as she glared at the little blue Ranger. "You lost a fight, whoopdy-do! One, little fight! We're not dead! We're not injured! If Gakko came back now we would be ready to fight!"

"You don't get it..." Theo started, but was cut off roughly but Kaylee.

"SHUT UP!" she yelled, attracting some attention from the customers. Ronny waved their attention away before Kaylee continued. "We lose sometimes... big deal! That shouldn't stop us! So you lost a fight. One fight, one sad, pathetic, barely even a fight, fight! Wanna know what I've lost since this career began?"

"No..."

"I lost my parents! I lost my last few teenage years! I had to drop my music career! I lost my daughter in a miscarriage because I was too damn stupid to realise she was there, and I lost my fiancé to the big bad dragon we're trying to kill! I have to kill the man I love because I lost him! So shut up and count your blessings, T, because you certainly have a hell of a lot more than me!"

Kaylee turned sharply and ran out of the dining room with Lily right on her heels.

Ronny glared at Theo before he too walked off. She sighed, sitting down in the booth, across from Casey.

"That went well," she said, rolling her eyes.

-----Jungle-Fury-----

"Kaylee, wait," Lily called, finally catching up to the blonde. She grabbed Kaylee's arm, ignoring the images flashing in her mind as she stopped Kaylee from running off once more.

"Leave me alone, Lils," Kaylee frowned, sitting on the couch.

"Kayl, it's okay to be upset," Lily said gently, sitting next to her friend. "I know you lost a lot."

"He's in there sulking because he lost one fight; meanwhile I'm losing everything I care about!"

"You haven't lost everything," Lily smiled.

"Name one thing I still have," Kaylee challenged. Lily hated this. She and Kaylee had only really just met, and though they were already great friends, Lily didn't know enough about Kaylee to answer, so she decided to wing it.

"Friends, family and other people who love you. Sure some of them are dead, or possessed, but you still have a handful of people ready to put their life on the line for you."

"Yeah, all of which live in different cities, and visit occasionally," Kaylee muttered.

"What about me?" Lily asked, "I'm one of them too. I may not be a sister or even anywhere near family, but I still care about you."

"You are family, Lil," Kaylee smiled, pulling the cheetah into a bear hug. "You're Ronny's little sister. That makes you my little sister. Thanks for reminding me."

"Anytime," Lily beamed.

-----Jungle-Fury-----

RJ was just finishing up a dance routine that would put Lily to shame, when he noticed Theo was sitting on the purple exercise ball. He looked to the bedroom, where he saw Lily and Kaylee retreat. He turned back to Theo and decided to tackle this one on his own.

He walked over to the boy and called his name a few times, but Theo didn't respond. He tried waving his hands in front of Theo's face, but Theo didn't move. RJ finally tapped the ball with his foot, throwing Theo off balance and causing him to land on a large beanbag chair.

"I pay you cubs for working, right?" he asked.

"Yup," Theo answered, getting comfortable.

"Aren't you guys supposed to be working?" RJ asked.

"Yup..."

"Then, why are three out of five of you upstairs?" RJ frowned. "Are any of you going to work?"

"Why bother... you can get someone better," Theo sighed.

RJ pondered that thought for a moment, "Possibly," he laughed, "But right now I've got you."

"Yeah, too bad," Theo said, finally getting up, "I got beat in that fight!"

"Yes you did," RJ nodded, smiling as he remembered the recording of the fight. "Beat pretty badly. Ronny and I saw it on all five screens... it was ugly. Recorded it, played it back, it was still ugly. You're not going to let that stop you, are you?"

"Yup..."

"I see," RJ thought for a moment, giving time for Ronny to walk into the loft. He snapped his fingers and turned to her and Theo, "Come on you two, we're going on a road trip. Help me with my chair!"

"Your chair?" Theo asked.

"What?" Ronny asked, biting the chocolate bar as she turned to Theo, "How did I get roped into this? What did I get myself in? What does any of this have to do with me?"

-----Jungle-Fury-----

Downtown, Casey, Lily and Kaylee had been called into battle as a group of Rinshi, Gakko and Camille strolled the streets of Ocean Bluff.

"We will terrorize the humans! Sooner or later, the Power Rangers will make their feeble attempt to save the day!"

"How about now?" Casey yelled, running up to the villains with the two girls.

Camille looked at the Rangers and frowned, "Too bad, only two. But that'll do," she turned to the Rinshi and snapped her fingers, "Get them!"

As Casey and Lily took on the Rinshi, Camille charged her way through the group, attacking Kaylee. Gakko watched from the sidelines.

"Two women, scorn by love," he smiled, "Who will win this epic battle?"

Camille pulled out her Sais and grinned menacingly as Kaylee did the same.

"You know, I think Dustin and I are really making progress," she taunted the green Ranger. "I think he was getting ready to propose to me."

"You're a bitch, you know that?" Kaylee frowned. Camille stopped fighting momentarily as she glared at the green Ranger.

"I've know that for centuries," she grinned, slicing Kaylee across the chest and sending her flying backwards. Kaylee landed in a heap, beside Casey and Lily.

"When Theo gets here – if Theo gets here - he's gonna have to fight me as well!" Lily yelled, slamming her fist against the ground.

Casey nodded, exchanging glances with the two girls as he put his solar morphers on and pulled down the communicator.

"RJ, it's Casey. Where is Theo?"

-----Jungle-Fury-----

In the forest, the JKP jeep was parks by a tree as RJ sat in his green chair, holding a walkie-talkie in one hand and a drink in the other.

"RJ, it's Casey. Where is Theo?"

"He's with me," RJ smirked.

"Good, Lily, Kaylee and I are engaged in a battle with the Rinshi and Gakko."

"And the royal bitch!" Kaylee's voice rang.

"Well, fight on, my man!"

"But we need Theo!"

"You do not need him. You may want him..."

Kaylee came onto the line and groaned, "We want Theo, RJ."

"Sorry, not possible. Theo's occupied at the moment," RJ explained. "Ronny's throwing orange balls at him."

RJ shut off the walkie-talkie and looked over at his cub. Theo was balancing on a beam, high in the air and suspended to the trees, as Ronny threw orange plastic balls at him, hoping to knock him off balance. One of the balls hit him in the head, nearly knocking him down.

"Oh, just great," Theo frowned, catching the ball and throwing it down. "Can I come down now?"

"Not until you get to the top," RJ pointed high up in the trees, where a flag was waving.

"Was that Casey and the girls?" Theo asked. "Are they in trouble?"

RJ stood beside Ronny, taking a few balls in his hand and throwing them at Theo, "Big trouble. But what good are you? You lost your confidence in that last fight!"

"I can try..."

"Trying without confidence is called dumb luck," Ronny coached, quoting her oldest brother.

Theo groaned, making his way to the top. When he finally reached the flag, he looked down.

"There, I made it," he said. "Are you happy?"

"Most of the time," RJ beamed, "But not quite yet. Incoming!" he called, smiling at Ronny and giving her the signal to throw three balls at once. Ronny did just that and Theo caught them. He began to juggle them, looking down at the two.

"This is ridiculous," he sighed.

Twenty-minutes later, Theo was still juggling and balancing on the beams. He finally decided to catch the three balls and sit down on the beam.

"I can't do this," he said.

RJ stood up from his chair and smiled at his young cub.

Four years ago, when I first opened my Pizza Shop, I needed a little help learning how to run a business," RJ started, playing with a business card he always kept in his pocket. "I went to Blue Bay for a few months to mentor under a successful business woman."

Things started clicking in Ronny's head. Not only because he had mentioned Blue Bay, where Kaylee and Tori were originally from, but he mentioned a successful business woman who worked there. Ronny only knew of two, Tori and Kelly. She knew he had met Tori before, so that would mean it wasn't her, but there was still a possibility it was Kelly.

"I had no employees when I first started working, and I needed crash course training in solo business," RJ continued. "This entrepreneur also had experience in working alone, seeing as her three employees kept running out on her and she explained to me what I needed to work until I could afford to hire employees. She taught me the key to success."

"What's that?" Theo asked.

"Confidence," RJ smiled, "Confidence is always with you, my man; you just have to believe in it."

"I was beaten," Theo sighed.

"So what dude? We all lose at some point in our lives. What makes great warriors is not winning every fight, it's what we do with ourselves when we lose," RJ said. "You had what it takes before that loss, and you still do, you just don't know where to look for it. Just remember, it's not a thing, but a state of mind."

"What if I can't find it?" Theo frowned.

"What if you can? Your choice; confidence is a state of mind. Choose it! I have all day. Lily, Kaylee and Casey... they may not."

Theo looked down at his master and nodded before getting back into position. He juggled the balls for a few seconds before throwing them up in the air and flipped off the beam. He landed perfectly on the ground, catching one of the balls. The second landed in RJ's hand, and the third bounced off Ronny's head.

RJ nodded to his cub, allowing him to run off. When Theo was gone, Ronny turned to RJ.

"What was the name of your mentor?" she asked, extending her hand, asking for the business card he was still playing with.

"Kelly Holloway," RJ smirked while Ronny looked down at the card. "Besides Master Swoop, she was the nest mentor I could ask for, and a very nice person."

"Someone has a crush, huh RJ?" Ronny teased, nudging the Master.

"Had," RJ said, taking the card back. "We didn't keep contact. I haven't heard from her since I left Blue Bay to come here."

"Well, Kaylee's originally from Blue Bay," Ronny smirked, "and I know it's a small town. I'm sure she's met Kelly once or twice before."

Ronny pulled out a business card from her jacket and handed it to RJ for him to examine. It was identical to the one he was holding.

"And I think I know her too."

-----Jungle-Fury-----

As Lily and Casey morphed to take on Gakko, Kaylee charged towards Camille, anger coursing through her veins as the emo-barbie taunted her endlessly about Dustin's love for her.

"I wonder how long before I have a child of my own," Camille grinned, hitting Kaylee in the side of the head with the blunt end of one of her Sais. Kaylee dropped to the ground, holding her head as Camille kneeled down over her, pushing the Sais against her neck, "and maybe I won't lose my daughter with my careless actions."

Kaylee's tears were now streaming down her face. Camille had thrown out every taunt imaginable, from Kaylee allowing her parents to die, all the way to Sammy's death being her fault, and Dustin falling out of love with her to be with Camille. Kaylee screamed loudly, trying to push Camille off, but the chameleon slammed her back on the ground.

"Give up now, Green Ranger," she grinned. "I've won. I have everything you wish you had: Love. Dustin loves me now, more than anything on this earth. He was the only one that truly cared for you, No one, not even your family cares for you. You're through

Kaylee felt her body give in. She was tired of losing to the bad guys. She wanted to end it now.

-----Jungle-Fury-----

"I'm getting tired of this!" Lily yelled as she was thrown across the battlefield, landing next to Casey.

"Me too," Casey nodded, grabbing his morpher. "Ready?"

"Ready," Lily called

"Kaylee, are you ready?" Casey yelled over to Kaylee, before seeing her position. Camille was kneeling over her, holding her Sais up in the air. Within seconds the sharp, pointed weapon would find itself in Kaylee's chest.

"Lils, go help her," Casey ordered, pushing the yellow Ranger towards the Leopard. Lily and Casey both morphed instantly, as Lily looked to her leader.

"What about you?" she asked.

"He's got me!" Theo called, fully morphed, as he stood on the roof of a building. Gakko jumped up to the side and stood there, smiling.

"I see you need another lesson about fighting on my turf," he smiled. "Do your best!"

As Theo rolled down the wall, attacking Gakko on 'his own turf', Lily ran over to Camille.

"Bring out the Cheetah!" she yelled quickly, attacking the chameleon with her animal spirit, knocking her off the green Ranger. Camille growled, holding her stomach from the attack, before disappearing.

Kaylee shoved the yellow Ranger's hand away as she helped herself up. She walked past Lily and away from the battle.

"Kaylee, stop!" Lily yelled.

"You didn't hear her, Lil! She's right, about everything! No one cares about me!" Kaylee screamed. "My sister's in another town right now because she would rather be at home with her husband. My best friend's..."

-----Jungle-Fury-----

"... gone home as well. She doesn't want to be here! She doesn't want to be around such a failure! Leanne even left me! She's sent me here and hasn't once tried to call to see how I was doing! I haven't heard from Kelly in ages, and Ronny's only here for you!"

Ronny heard this over the monitors as soon as she walked into the loft. She sighed deeply as she pulled out her cell phone and the business card.

-----Jungle-Fury-----

"No one cares about you?" Lily asked. "Then what do you call what I just did for you?"

"Following orders!" Kaylee yelled.

"Yeah, because Casey cares about you!" Lily snapped. "And I care about you too! I know this is a lot to deal with, but remember what I said before! You have a group of people here to support you. But they have their own lives! They can't be by your side 24/7!"

"Girls, break it up," Casey and Theo called, stepping between the two once Gakko was defeated.

"I'm going home," Kaylee frowned, turning away.

-----Jungle-Fury-----

While Kaylee was sulking up in the loft, everyone else was in the kitchen. Lily was practically throwing the cheese onto the pizza while the others watched Theo, happy he was back to normal.

"Looks like the regular Theo is back," Fran smiled.

"Confident," Ronny nodded.

"Self-assured..." Casey added.

"Working," RJ sighed in relief.

Theo flipped the dough in the air and waited for it to fall down. When it didn't he looked up, only to catch the dough with his face. He peeled it off and smiled.

"You forgot, only human," he smiled.

As the others laughed, Ronny turned to her sister. She pulled Lily to the stairs and sat down next to her.

"Kaylee's pretty high-maintenance right now, isn't she?" she asked, wrapping her arm around her sister's shoulders. Lily nodded, pushing back the tears. She had tried hard to get Kaylee to remember she had people who loved her, then the blonde turned her back on her when Camille told her the opposite. She knew Camille's words would hurt Kaylee to the point where she felt weak, and would believe whatever the emo-barbie would say, but it still hurt Lily to know that Kaylee was ignoring her friendship.

On top of all that, Lily could feel Kaylee's pain. Every time she touched the older girl, she saw images of what was making Kaylee so upset. To say Lily could understand what Kaylee was feeling was an understatement.

"You saw flashes again, didn't you?" Ronny asked. Lily nodded, putting her head on Ronny's shoulder.

"The ship exploding in space, Marah's final blows that killed Samantha and Kaylee seeing Dustin as Dai Shi's vessel for the first time," Lily whispered. "I saw it all. I know exactly what happened and how it happened, and Kaylee hasn't said more than a few words about any of it. I just wish she would trust me."

"Lily, she's been through a lot," Ronny smiled, hugging her sister. "Give her time, don't push her. She'll come to you when she's ready."

Ronny suddenly got up and grabbed her bag from beside the door, "Now I got to go."

"Now?" Lily frowned. "But Kaylee needs you!"

"Lils, I wouldn't just leave Kaylee alone like this," Ronny laughed. "In a few minutes, a red-head should come into the store. She'll walk up to whoever's on cash and introduce herself as Kelly. Tell her you're my sister and that Kaylee's in the loft. Trust me, things will get better, for Kaylee and RJ."

Ronny hugged her sister one last time before waving goodbye to the boys. Lily followed her sister out, stopping at the cash to take orders. Moments after Ronny left, a red head walked into the store. She approached Lily and smiled.

"I got a call earlier from a woman named Ronny," the red head smiled. "She told me to meet her here."

Lily smiled. Her sister always came through. She extended her hand, shaking the red head's.

"Ronny's my sister," she said. "She just left though. I take it you're Kelly?"

The red head nodded, smiling.

"Kaylee's upstairs," Lily said, leading the red head into the kitchen and to the stairs. "It's a direct path up the stairs. If she's not on the training mat, she'll be in our room. The green and yellow door."

Kelly nodded, laughing under her breath as the boys and Fran looked up at her strangely. She didn't recognise RJ, because he was wearing his white uniform with the hat and had flour all over his face, but he recognised her.

"Kelly?"
