Other than getting detention, the kids enjoyed their first day of high school. Some of their teachers, were some of their former teachers from the middle school. The most interesting classes were History (of course), math, science, and Health/PE. All of Maya's friends seemed to like her aunt and uncle.
After school, the kids met in Maya's uncle's classroom. Tommy decided that he'd take the boys and Kimberly would take the girls. Tommy drove them to the museum, but it was closed. There was a note that said, "meet at the city park." So he drove them all to the park.
"Hey, Aunt Kimberly, did you know that there are secret passages in the playground?" asked Maya.
"No, how do you know that?" asked Kimberly.
"Because, the we locked Riley and Maya in the playground;they had an argument," answered Farkle. "Riley fell through a hole and found a secret passage. It lead to her dad's old class room at the middle school. He made arrangement for us to go look through the hidden passages. But, principal Yancy never approved it."
"Well, we can go explore hidden passages now!" declared Maya.
She took off running to the hole that Riley fell through. It was still there. No one had filled it in yet. All of the kids followed Maya down the hole. She ran to the place that had the old library. In that area she saw that there was now torches on the wall. The room was all lit up.
"MAYA!" shouted Riley.
"I'M OVER HERE!" answered Maya.
Maya had to wait a few minutes for her friends to catch up with her. Once they caught up with her, she lead them down a narrow hall. As they walked down the hall, they saw dinosaur pictures painted on the way.
"We're out of detention!" shouted Farkle.
Maya noticed something shining at the end of the hallway. They walked until they got to the end of the hall. At the end of the hall way, there was a table. On the table were gems. Beside each gem was a picture of a dinosaur. Beside the yellow gem was a picture of a pteranodon. The green gem was next to a picture of parasaurolophus, the red gem was next to a picture of tyrannosaurs. The purple gem was next to a picture of Oviraptor. The blue gem was next to a picture of a triceratops. The pink gem was next to a picture of a stegosaurs. A black gem was next to a picture of a brachiosaurs.
"Yellow is my favorite color," declared Maya. "So the yellow gem is mine!"
She picked up the yellow gem and it bounded with her. She noticed that she had new ability, which was sonic scream.
"Okay, it's my turn," stated Riley. "My favorite color is purple, so I am going to chose the purple gem."
Riley picked up the purple gem and it bonded with her. She noticed that she had a new special ability, which was running fast.
"It's Farkle's turn!" demanded Farkle. " Farkle is going to choose the blue gem."
Farkle picked up the blue gem and it bounded with him. He noticed that his new special ability was that his skin could turn rough.
"Since, everyone else has picked out a gem, I will take one!" declared Lucas. "I think I will chose the red gem."
The red gem bounded with Lucas and he noticed that he had a new special ability too, which was lifting heavy objects.
After all of them gem picked up a gem, they noticed that floor was crumbling. Before they could move, the floor collapsed and they fell through a hole. They landed on the ground in a strange room. It had computers, scanners, and monitors, TV screens, etc. Maya noticed that her mom, her aunt, and uncle, were in the room.
"I see you found the gems," stated Tommy.
"Yes, we did!" declared Maya. "Uncle Tommy, do we get out of detention?"
"Yes, you do," answered Tommy. "Your aunt told me that you went down to a secret passage. I guess you found the dino gems. That means they have already bounded with you. You'll form a new team of rangers."
"Uncle Tommy, we didn't sign up for this!" declared Maya. "We just looked at the gems and picked them up!"
"Maya, what you don't understand is, that the gems were shining because you were the right kids to form the team. They picked you," answered Kimberly.
"But, we chose the colors," shouted Farkle.
"Farkle, lets say you decided you wanted a the red gem," interrupted Katy. "You wouldn't be able to pick it up, because the blue gem had already picked you to bond with."
Tommy handed all four of them sliver bracelets. Each bracelet had a different color inside it.
"Don't take these off," ordered Tommy. "Use these to communicate with me and each other. You can also use them as dino morphers."
"Does that mean we get to be power rangers?!" asked Farkle.
"Yes, but it isn't fun and games," answered Kimberly. " You have been chosen to save the world."
"Kids, go home and get your homework done," ordered Tommy. "Also be sure to have your parents fill out the forms that were sent home."
"How do we get out of here?" asked Riley.
"Go to the stair case at the back of the room," answered Katy. "They will lead to you to the storage room of Topanga's shop."
All of the kids walked up the stairs, but Maya remained behind with her mom, aunt, and uncle. She had a lot of things she wanted to ask them.
"Why didn't you tell them, that you were rangers?" asked Maya.
"We were rangers, but we aren't anymore," answered Kimberly.
"Maya, the boys can't find out about this," declared Katy. " I know Riley knows, and that's fine. But, Cory and Topanga can't know about this yet. He is already nervous about his new job. And most importantly Auggie can't find out. He is to young to be a ranger. He is only in second grade. Auggie isn't old enough to take on that type of responsibility."
"Tommy, are you ever going to tell the rest of them?" asked Kimberly.
"Kim, I will later," answered Tommy.
