Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. Reference to "Return Of An Old Friend".
Back at Angel Grove High, the Rangers and their friends were still enjoying the book fair.
"Come on, maybe there's some more fairytale books over there," Tommy said, pointing in a direction. She followed her boyfriend.
"Hey guys, look at this book on meditation," Richie said.
"Yeah, it's really good for the martial arts," Rocky continued, holding up another copy of the book.
"Hey, can I read it when you're done?" Tommy asked, taking Richie's copy.
"Uh…sure," Richie responded. Tommy started flipping through the pages as Ms. Appleby walked up to them.
"Are you kids enjoying the book fair?" she questioned.
"Absolutely Ms. Appleby," Kimberly answered.
"I'm glad to hear it. Remember, the more books we sell, the more the library benefits," she stated, walking away.
"So listen, I have to cut out early to help Ernie, could you tell Trini?" Richie requested.
"Yeah, sure, no problem," Kimberly assured.
"Thanks," Richie said.
"Oh, uh, here's your book back," Tommy stated, handing his friend the book. Richie thanked him and then left. While this was going on, Bulk and Skull were also at the fair.
"Skull, would you hurry up and get the book for your mom's birthday? This isn't my kind of scene," Bulk stated. Skull looked around. As Bulk waited, Jason, Trini, and Rocky who had run into Tommy and Kimberly came up.
"Hey," Trini greeted.
"Hey. Oh, Trini, Richie said he had to leave early to Ernie at the juice bar," Kimberly stated.
"Oh, okay. Thanks," Trini accepted.
"Jase, check out what Tommy bought for me," Kimberly said, proudly displaying the book.
"Grumble The Magic Elf," Jason stated. "Didn't your dad used to read this to you?"
"Yep." Jason smiled softly. He remembered Kim talking about the book all the time when they were kids. It had been her favorite book. Skull let out a noise of frustration breaking his reverie and they turned to him.
"Hey, guys. I didn't think this was your kind of thing…no offense," Trini stated. I wonder if he's trying to find Aisha, she thought to herself.
"None taken. It's not," Bulk assured.
"You looking for Aisha?" Tommy asked.
"No," Bulk answered.
"So, then, why…" Jason trailed off, realizing that there was no way to ask his question without sounding rude.
"Skull's trying to find something for his mom's birthday," Bulk replied.
"I see. That's sweet of him," Trini said. "Oh, hey about this? 'How To Cook A Thanksgiving Feast'," Skull stated, holding up the book.
"Ah, that's perfect for your mom-she loves to cook," Bulk responded.
"She…does?" Trini asked in surprise, remembering the woman's attire at previous year's parents' day.
"Don't let her clothes fool you. She's actually really into the whole 'mom' thing, which is good," Bulk answered. Then, his gaze fell on a book.
"Monster Making Made Easy?" he asked, picking it up. Jason, Trini, Rocky, Tommy, and Kimberly looked at the title.
"Uh-oh," Rocky said.
"Who'd be dumb enough to buy a book like that?" Skull wondered. Imagine, wanting to make your own monster, he thought derisively. The Rangers looked at Bulk who had a strange look on his face.
"Yeah, you're right. That's just inviting trouble," he finally agreed. Then, "You ready to go yet?"
"Yeah." They went to pay for the book.
"So, I haven't found anything else. You guys want to go to the youth center?" Rocky questioned. "Aisha and the others are gonna meet me there." Tommy and Kimberly looked at each other before making a decision.
"Okay," Kimberly agreed.
"All right," Tommy responded at the same. "Jase, Trini, what about you?"
"No, I'm still looking," Trini answered.
"Jase?" the others asked of the boy who hadn't answered.
"I'm still looking too. Like Skull, I'm looking for a birthday present for my mom," Jason answered.
"What are you going to get her?" Rocky asked.
"She's really into books, but I've gotta find one that's really morphinominal!" Jason answered.
"Good luck with that man," Tommy said.
"Come on, let's go see what we can find," Trini said. They made plans to meet, Kimberly stating that they would cut through the park, and the two went back to the fair as Tommy, Kimberly, and Rocky left. On the moon, Squatt and Baboo clapped excitedly.
"Ooooh! Trapping the Rangers in a storybook! This is going to be fun!" Baboo cheered.
"Empress, three of the Rangers are out in the open. You could easily dispose of them now," Goldar told her.
"Yes, you're right, Goldar," Rita agreed, turning her attention to Earth. She aimed her staff and fired it.
"I am so glad I found this book, Tommy," Kimberly said. She screamed in surprise as electricity crackled and the book flew through the air and into a trash can.
"Whoa. That was weird," Tommy commented and they headed for the bin.
"Do you think Rita or Zedd had anything to do with it?" Rocky wondered.
"I'm thinking 'yes'," Kimberly replied as the book pulsated in a red-ish glow. Lightning filled the sky.
"Whoa. What's happening?" Kimberly wondered before they all felt themselves dematerializing. Seconds later, they landed in a heap on the ground. The trio stood up.
"Where are we?" Tommy wondered.
"This place looks really familiar," Kimberly noted, looking around. Why do I feel like I know this place? And what are Rita and Zedd up to? she wondered.
"It does?" Rocky questioned. A bluebird chirped as it and two white butterflies flew by.
"Uh-oh," Kimberly said, realizing at once where they were. Great. Just great, she thought to herself. This was not how she wanted to spend her day.
"Kim, what is it?"
"We're in my book."
