Zack sat before an audio mixer with a large pair of headphones on, oblivious to the pink-clad girl walking up to him. She gently touched Zack's shoulder and asked "What'cha got Zack?"
"Whoa!" Zack sharply uttered, slightly jumping at the startling touch. Removing the headphones, he replied, calming down, "Oh hey Kim. I'm picking out the right music for the dance party. I am so pumped for this festival, and I can't wait to play all this hot dance music from all over the world. "
"Nice!" Kimberly replied. "Well, for my contribution to the multicultural festival, I'll be making and modeling some lovely outfits from Renaissance era Europe."
"I'll have to stop by your booth and check it out" Zack affirmed. Turning his attention, Zack shouted to the young man handling a large speaker, "Speakers gonna be ready soon Billy?"
"Affirmative, Zack" Billy responded. "Just finishing the connections to the console. Then we can focus on the lighting."
Trini entered the main room of the youth center from the side areas, pushing a cart with a mounted glass bottle containing a model of a Chinese treasure ship. Jason followed her carrying a large plastic bucket containing many sports balls and various other athletic gear. Zack, Kimberly, and Billy all walked over to greet their friends.
"'Mazing ship, Trini!" Zack declared. "Did you make that?"
Laughing slightly, Trini modestly replied "No, Zack, it wasn't me. Uncle Howard built it. He says building a ship in a bottle with long handled tools helps improve dexterity and focus."
"It certainly exercises obscure muscles." Billy added.
"I bet it does" Jason acknowledged.
"So Jason, what'chu got?" Kimberly asked. The teens turned their heads to Jason accordingly.
"I'm hosting a demo of lesser known sports from other nations. We're going to play a couple exhibition games, and I also picked out some safer games that people at the festival can try out." Jason explained.
"Fun!" Zack opined.
Bulk and Skull slowly strutted into the Youth Center. "What's up, geeks?" Bulk projected. "You preppin' for this nerd-fair."
"'Course, I'll take you anywhere Kimberly. Even some boring old art show!" Skull threw in.
"Or, I could go there to make sure I'm rid of you." Kimberly replied in disgust.
"Hmph," Bulk grunted. Turning his attention to the ship in the bottle, Bulk sarcastically pondered, "How do even get the ship in there anyway? I bet you…" His tone suddenly ceased reflecting sarcasm and started to reflect excited awe, "..are those diamonds in that little treasure box? Skull, if we get them out of there we'll be rich!"
Trini sternly stated, "They're cubic zirconia, Bulk. And you still can't steal them!"
Not listening, Bulk reached his hand inside the bottle opening and squeezed his thick wrist into the body of the bottle. Unable to move his arm in any further, he retracted his arm until his wrist refused to move back through the bottle opening. With an "Uh oh" he pulled it harder but it barely moved. Becoming flustered, he kept trying to force it out, soon saying "Get me out of this thing Skully!"
His tugs prompted Trini to shout "Careful you'll break it!".
Jason darted over and instructed Bulk, "Hold still." Then, he and Trini gripped the ship bottle as Skull came over and wrapped his arms around Bulk's wide waist. Everyone pulled for several seconds, and then suddenly, Bulk's hand popped out of the bottle, causing him and Skull to recoil backwards several steps until Skull fell backwards into a large plastic garbage bin, taking Bulk in with him.
The rangers laughed a little. Jason carefully placed the mounted bottle back on the cart telling Trini, "It's OK. No damage."
Meanwhile, Skull's muffled voice from the garbage can could be heard saying "Get off me, Bulky!" With a hand from Jason, Bulk and Skull climbed out of the wide gray garbage bucket.
After helping the punks out, Jason said to them, "Y'know guys, you might like this so-called 'nerd fair'. There's food there. Ernie's even giving out prizes for eating."
Quickly recovering from the shake up, Skull looked up and asked, "Food?"
Bulk followed in turn, "Prizes for eating?"
Jason confirmed. Bulk headed for the exit of the center saying, "C'mon, Skully! We gotta see about those prizes!"
Tommy briskly walked into the Youth Center, asking Jason, "What are Bulk and Skull so excited about?"
"I told them about Ernie's food challenges," Jason informed him with a devious smile.
"Yeah, that would do it." Tommy agreed.
