Welcome back! I took the daytime off, as I had a family affair to attend to, but now I'm back, with the third episode in my fic. Now we get to see the drama unfold as Kaleb remains bound by his word to keep the Rangers a secret.

I don't own the Power Rangers, you hear me?! I mean really, do you think I'd be here? Writing about what I wish would happen if I did own them? This would've been the TV show! And Rocky would've been in every season in some way, shape or form. Just saying. I think I may actually have a problem/obsession...moving on!

Enjoy the story!

Sitting in science class, I sighed. Of all of my classes, science had to be the one that everyone else had together, while I was alone in my class. Adam looked so excited this morning about his kaleidoscope report about light refraction, and I couldn't be there to see it. It sucks only being sophomore. It also sucks that I was friends with the Power Rangers, but I wasn't a ranger myself.

It's been a week since I came out to my friends. Everyone has been so supportive and none of the guys got uncomfortable around me. Tommy even tried setting me up with someone, but the guy wasn't my type. At least he tried, right?

My friendships with the rangers kept getting stronger as time went by too. Aisha and Kimberly quickly became best friends of mine when we talk at the Youth Center while Billy helps out Alpha and the rest of the guys train on the mats. I think one of the girls knows about my attraction to Rocky, but I'm not sure who. All I know is that they've both caught me staring at the red ranger while he was practicing multiple times.

Billy and I are weird friends. He teaches me things about computers, I teach how to play soccer like a pro. He also has visited my house once, and both my sisters thought he was great. I think Rosa may have a small crush on him, but it'll never happen. Billy is seventeen going on eighteen and my sister is twenty one going on thirty.

Like I said before, Tommy has been a great support for me. I could talk to him and he'd try his best to help with my problems. Of course, he was clueless sometimes, but I appreciated the effort just the same. There is only one problem that I have with him. He needs to grow a pair and ask Kim out already. I've seen the looks he's cast her in the past.

Adam became like the brother I've always wanted, not that Tyler is a bad brother, but he's too young. I can't talk to him like I can with Adam. He's made it his personal mission to train me so I can beat Tommy in a sparring match, which I've come close to doing, twice. He is still clueless though, like the rest of the guys on the team, about my infatuation with their Red Ranger.

Speaking of, Rocky and I are best buds, so having feelings for him was a big no-no. He and I would constantly go to the park to either kick the soccer ball around, spar together, roller blade and sometimes just talk. I'm close with all of the rangers, but Rocky is the one I've become closest to, even if it's just by a hair.

The best thing about this past week, besides not being judged by my friends, was that Lord Zedd hadn't attacked. No Goldar, no freaky monster and no Putties. I was able to relax and focus on school, which leads me back to now.

I was stuck in a stuffy classroom with a bunch of punks who thought it was funny to pick fun at the new guy. 'Oh lookie here guys, this guy is new, so he can't fit in. Let's be total jerks and make fun of him for no absolute reason.'

So, you can imagine my relief when the final bell rang, and I rushed out of class before the teacher could say good-bye. At last, another weekend to spend with the best people I've come to know and love. Oh, I almost forgot. Zordon had Billy give me a communicator/transporter, so I could contact him and the rangers if something happened to me and I could go to the Command Center at will. I think Alpha enjoyed my company. He never says otherwise.

So, anyway, I quickly made my way to my locker to see Adam leaning against his, like he was waiting. I smiled, walking over to him. "Hey Adam. How'd the project go?" I asked.

He smiled, pulling out the cylindrical tube. "You wanna see?" He asked. I nodded, and grabbed it. I looked through the hole and saw at least thirty Adam's smiling at me. I was in awe of this thing. Of course, I've looked in a kaleidoscope before, but it's been years.

I pulled it away from my eyes and smiled, "That thing is just so cool." I exclaimed. Adam laughed, but nodded just the same. "Yeah, it is. Hey could you do me a favor? Could you run that to Kimberly? She wanted to borrow it after school." He asked me.

I nodded, "Yeah sure, where are you going?"

Adam smiled, "Aisha has this thing she wants to show me and Rocky."

I sighed, but agreed, "Okay, I'll join up with you guys later, okay?"

He nodded, "That's fine. Now get that to Kim, before she has a fit." He joked. I laughed a bit, before walking around looking for said Pink Ranger.

After I couldn't find her in the school, I searched around the Youth Center, but couldn't find her. I decided to look in the park then, and low and behold, there she was, sitting with Mr. White Ranger and Blue Ranger. I ran up to her, "Kim, Adam told me to bring this to you. Said you wanted to borrow it?"

She nodded, grabbing it. "Thanks Kaleb." She grabbed it and looked over the cliff, seeing the lights all scattered. "Wow you guys. Adam's kaleidoscope is really far out!" She exclaimed. I laughed a bit, before seeing a light flash from behind me. I turned around and groaned. "Really? Putties after a week? I thought Zedd finally gave up!"

Tommy laughed, "Since when do villians ever quit?" He asked, before we all charged into battle. Not paying attention to the others, I did a handspring off the ground and slammed my feet into two Putties at the same time. Getting up, I was almost hit by another, but I blocked it, before sweeping my foot under it's ankles, sending it flying off the cliff. I slammed my fist into the Z on the chest of another Putty and it broke apart. I took in a deep breath, before looking around. The others had finished off their Putties, but that wasn't what got my attention. It was what was in the place of Adam's kaleidoscope. It was a monster with the tube on it's head and one eye in the center.

Tommy and the other two looked to each other and nodded. "It's Morphing Time!" Tommy exclaimed.

Tiger Zord!

Pterodactyl!

Triceratops!

I moved out of the way as my ranger friends were about to go to town on this creature. I hid behind a tree, watching them carefully, my hand on my communicator, ready to call in for back up if needed. The monster didn't even blink before it shot a colorful ray that hit the rangers, de-morphing them. My eyes widened as the monster ran away laughing. I walked up behind them. Billy looked to Kim and raised an eyebrow, "Who are you?"

Kimberly grabbed her hair in frustration, "I'm um…that's a good question." She turned to Tommy, "Who do you think I am?"

Tommy shook his head, placing his hands on his hips, "I don't have a clue, but you sure are cute."

I rolled my eyes. Figures, the Tommy that lost his memories makes more moves on Kim than the one that actually likes her. I lifted my wrist and pressed a button, "Zordon, a monster just wiped Billy, Tommy and Kim of their memories. They don't know who they are anymore."

"Sit tight Kaleb. I'm sending the others right away."

I nodded, "Right. I'll make sure these three don't leave the park." After saying that, I walked up behind them. "Um, hey guys."

They jumped and turned around. Kim raised an eyebrow, "Who are you?"

I smiled, "I'm Kaleb. I'm your friend and you're my friends."

Billy gave me a suspicious look, "How do we know we can trust you?"

I rolled my eyes, "Let me put it this way, what other choice do you have?" I asked.

Billy sighed, nodding, "Good point. So, do you know who we are? Am I smart? I feel like I am."

"You are." I heard the sweet sound of Rocky's voice sound from behind me. I wasn't even saying that because it was Rocky, but more so on the fact that Zordon got the rest of them so quickly. I didn't want to deal with these three on my own. "Billy, you're a straight A student."

Billy pointed to himself, "I'm Billy, the brain?"

Kimberly smirked and poked him, "I knew it!"

Aisha grinned, "And you're Kimberly, my best friend." She explained with a warm smile on her face. I nodded.

Kimberly pointed to herself, "I am?"

Aisha nodded, "Yeah, we do everything together. We go shopping everyday." I don't know if shopping meant doing everything together, but whatever works for Aisha. She knew Kim better, so I left in her hands.

Kim just laughed, looking unsure, "Why would we go shopping everyday?" Yes Aisha, why would you? And where did you get the money to afford doing that? Hmm, so many questions and no time to ask them.

Aisha looked a little shocked, looking to Adam, before facing Kim again, "You always said you didn't need a reason to shop." She defended. Really? I didn't think Kim was one of those types of girls. But then again, I only knew them for a week, so, yeah, I didn't know everything about them yet.

Kimberly just looked a little disgusted, "That's really pathetic." Ooh, ouch. Harshness level off the charts.

Aisha looked to the rest of the group that wasn't suffering from memory loss, "She doesn't like to shop anymore? The monster's more powerful than any of us imagined." I nodded, about to open my mouth to say what happened, when Tommy spoke up.

"Monster?"

Adam looked desperate, "Yeah, the Scatterbrain monster that Zedd made. You know, Lord Zedd on the moon." Oh yes Adam, they'll definitely believe that. Why don't you just tell them that they are Power Rangers while you're at it.

The three just looked at the four of us blankly, shaking their heads. I bet they thought we were crazy. Rocky turned to us, "We better get them back to the Command Center, fast." The three of us agreed, but Tommy back up a bit.

"Hey, you're not taking me anywhere." He said, defensively.

Billy nodded, "Yeah, me either."

Kim looked between the two of them, before giving us a doubtful look, backing up a bit more. Suddenly, a flash of light appeared, and Goldar and a bunch of Putties were standing behind them. I glared at the evil bat monkey thing, getting into a fighting position. Kim gasped as she backed up towards us, along with the other two. Goldar just laughed.

He beckoned the three over to him, "Come with us. We'll refresh your memory." He commanded.

I moved to stand in front of the other three, just in case Goldar tried something. I heard Rocky talk to the others, "Trust us, we'll take you somewhere safe."

Tommy looked doubtful still, and the Putties were slowly moving in. I heard Kim whimper to Aisha, asking about being best friends. Aisha just said, "Let's teleport."

Tommy moved towards them, questioning that word. I moved backwards into the group as well, pressing a button on my wrist communicator. The green light appeared again, and we landed in the Command Center. Tommy, Kim and Billy all looked so entranced with the beauty of it, as we gave Zordon a report. Rocky stepped forward first, "Zordon, their memories are completely gone."

I heard Tommy questioning who Zordon was. "I am Zordon, a trusted friend of yours Tommy."

Alpha piped in too, giving Billy a distraction, saying a bunch of words that did not make sense in my book. The robot seemed disappointed that the science brainiac didn't know who he was. Zordon spoke up, "They will have to remain here for now. Their minds are too vulnerable to Zedd's evil."

Adam looked up to Zordon, "But Zordon, can't you just give them their powers again?" He asked. I don't think it was that simple.

Zordon looked at Adam, shaking his head, "Without their memories, they do not have the experience, the skills or the character to be Power Rangers." He said, sounding very worried. Well, this day was just getting better and better, wasn't it?

What a great way to spend a Friday. Just chilling out, fighting a few Putties, realizing that some of your friends might forget you forever, just your ordinary teenage angst.

So, there you have it. The first part of three parts for this episode. Hey, please comment what you think. Do you like the three part chapters, or should I combine all of the chapters that belong to an episode together to make it a longer chapter? Please tell me, I'll do what I can.
