Here is the next episode! I'm home sick today, so I decided to get some work done. I think this is like my seventh chapter in a row. I hope you like this story. Get it out there, please.

I don't own Power Rangers.

I sat in my class, once again bored. It was Wednesday and I was just so bored. My teacher was a pain. She treated us like dirt, except the really smart people, a.k.a. me. I didn't like being the teacher's favorite and being the new kid at the same time. Which is why, when she called me to come up to her desk at the beginning of class, I became a little concerned.

"Yes?" I asked, standing in front of her.

She smiled, "Well, I was reading your school records from here and from your old school. It seems to me that you belong in an more advanced course in all of your subjects. I have taken the liberty of transferring you to Mrs. Appleby's all day class. She teaches all subjects, so you'll have her everyday." My teacher explained to me.

I was shocked, happy and nervous at the same time. Let me explain. Mrs. Appleby was the teacher in my friends' class. All my friends were in that class. I was happy because of that. I was shocked, because it wasn't very common for a sophomore to transfer up to a higher class. I was nervous because I'd be in the same class as Rocky, and I wasn't looking forward to having him bug me all day everyday.

My teacher just smiled, "It was so good having you in my class, but I think being in a higher class would be beneficial for you." She told me. I nodded, "I appreciate it."

She smiled, "Well, goodbye."

Well don't be so sad to see me go.

I walked out of the classroom, still seeing kids in the hallway, because it was still a little bit before the bell rang. I was just in my class because my class was on the other side of the school from where I enter with Adam. I looked around, hoping to see one of my friends, when I saw Tommy. I ran over to him, "Hey, Tommy!" I called out to the oldest and leader of the rangers.

He turned and smiled, "Hey, K! What's up man?" He asked, us doing our little handshake. I just shrugged, "Oh, nothing much except the fact that I was just transferred to your class." I told him.

He grinned, "Hey, that's great! I'm sure Rocky will be happy." He said. Oh yeah, he hasn't figured out that me and Rocky haven't spoken much since the 'fun' incident at the Youth Center. Actually, we haven't spoken at all.

I shrugged, "I guess. I'm just happy that I don't have to worry about you guys getting in trouble and me not being there, or the other way around."

Tommy just laughed, "Well, you don't have anything to worry about now. C'mon, let's get to class. Mrs. Appleby will want to seat you before the bell rings." He placed an arm around my shoulder. It was sort of an uncomfortable gesture, but only because he was like five inches taller than me.

He led me through the halls of the school, walking fast. I don't know why, as the bell wouldn't ring for another few minutes. I decided to take this moment to work my matchmaking magic. "So, Tommy, I've noticed that you've been protecting Kim a lot in battle. You want to explain that?" I asked, bouncing my eyebrows a bit.

Tommy just looked at me with a nervous glance. "I don't know what you're talking about." He denied. Even with his long hair, I could tell, even when he hid his face behind it, that he was blushing.

I just sighed, "Look, I've been single all my life. I have people falling in love all the time around me. I know a thing or two about people feeling things for others. You, my friend, are in deep." I informed him.

He gave me a look, "What should I do then?"

I rolled my eyes, "Ask her out. Plain and simple. The Annual Angel Grove Scavenger Hunt is coming up in two weeks, right?"

He nodded. I snapped my fingers, "There you go. Invite her to be on your team."

Tommy shook his head, "I can't do that. We both promised that Adam would be on our team, so it'd be awkward for him."

I just smiled, "Leave Adam to me. I can team up with him, leaving you two together. I got you covered Tommy." I said, giving him a big grin.

The white ranger just gave me a fond smile, "You know, I had my doubts about you when we first met, but you keep proving that you belong on the team. You're awesome, man." He said, ruffling my hair, like Rocky did on Friday. Ugh, great, reminders.

"Okay, Tommy, word of advice. No touching the hair if you want to keep both of your arms." I warned him, giving him a death glare. He lifted his hand, "Oops, sorry."

I just shook my head, "I'm kidding." He sighed in relief. "I'd only break one arm. We need you to be useful if Zedd attacks." I joked.

We both laughed at that, while entering the classroom. I've met Mrs. Appleby before, and she was a very nice lady. I walked up to her, while Tommy sat behind Kim, who gave me a weird look. I just winked at Tommy, giving him a knowing glance. Mrs. Appleby looked up from her desk, "Oh, Kaleb, how are you dear?"

I smiled, "I'm good Mrs. Appleby. I was told that I'm now in your class." I told her.

She nodded, "Yes, I know. I was the one who suggested it. You are the second straight A student alongside Billy, so I figured you'd want a more challenging class." She said, giving me a warm smile.

I nodded, "I appreciate it. Um, where do I sit?"

Mrs. Appleby looked around the classroom. She pointed by the window, "Right over there, in the front corner seat. You'll be next to Aisha and in front of Rocky."

I plastered a fake smile on my face as I sat down. Figures, fate would have me sit in front of the one person in Angel Grove that I never want to speak to again. He smiled at me, thinking I would say something, but I just sat down, ignoring the fact that he even exists. I looked over to Kim, and she just mouthed to me that she was sorry. I shook my head, saying that she shouldn't be.

Mrs. Appleby walked over to me, "So, Kaleb, we are talking about how inventions changed the world. Aisha has done a report on Television that we are going to be listening to today."

I nodded. Aisha seemed really excited about this presentation. I think it was because of the fact that tonight, the gang, as Power Rangers, were going on T.V. doing a segment on education. I wasn't going though, because I lack two things. One was actually being a ranger, and two, I had to babysit my brother and sister. Sure, they were old enough to take care of themselves, but the rules are different in Angel Grove. You have to be at least 12 years old to be left at home alone for it to be legal. In Connecticut, it was that if you were eight to ten years old, you were aloud to be home alone for a maximum of three hours.

Also, afterwards, I had to head to the Command Center, because Zordon and Alpha had something they needed to give me. I was busy for today, and with the Power Rangers program going on, my schedule is full. Hopefully Lord Zedd leaves us alone for today. I'm happy I haven't actually seen him in person. From what Adam and Billy told me, he is one ugly alien.

Aisha stood in front of class, with an old T.V. and V.C.R. (Keep in mind this fic is taking place in the same time period, being 1995-1996 era). She started talking about who invented television, and how it all started. She then went into detail about when T.V. like we watch today, was introduced at the World's Fair, sixty years ago, in 1939.

She then put a tape in the V.C.R. and some black and white film came on, talking about what the creator of television thought about it and gave a few quotes. The tape ended and Mrs. Appleby came up to Aisha, "That was a wonderful report Aisha."

Aisha smiled and headed back to her seat. I gave her a thumbs up, and she just smiled, nodding to me. Mrs. Appleby addressed the whole room, "Class, can anyone remember from Aisha's report, who is the father of television?" She asked.

I looked around to see Bulk and Skull raising their hand in the back of the room. I rolled my eyes. Knowing them, they'd say something about the Power Rangers and finding their real identity. Too bad that ScatterBrain got rid of their memories of ever seeing the real Power Rangers and them in their human form.

"Bulk?" Mrs. Appleby called.

Bulk, with all seriousness, answered, "Captain Kangaroo?"

I snorted, trying not to embarrass myself on my first day in the class. How can you be so stupid?

"No Bulk. Obviously you weren't paying attention." Mrs. Appleby scolded. Adam then raised his hand, like the good boy he is. "Adam?"

"General David Sarnoff?"

Mrs. Appleby grinned, "Correct!"

I heard Bulk and Skull mutter something in the back, but didn't turn around, for fear of facing Rocky and have him think I wanted to talk. Mrs. Appleby smiled, "Class, today we learned about the power of television as a communication medium. Tonight, as you all know, the Power Rangers will be on T.V. to spread their special message about the power of education."

We all, being the Rangers and I, shared sneaky glances that had amusement in view. It was so funny, knowing that everyone was talking about them, but no one knew that the Power Rangers were right there in class with them.

The teacher continued, "Tomorrow, in class, we will discuss what they had to say, and how it affects you personally."

The bell rang right after she finished, and I jumped a bit. Wow, this class goes by really fast. I looked over to Tommy and Kim and smirked. Tommy just asked to take her books, which in my opinion was making some kind of move.

Nice work Tommy Casanova. I thought, giggling at my own little joke.

Mrs. Appleby dismissed the class, and I was pushed back into my seat by Bulk, as he and Skull rushed by. I glared at them, but let it go. A hand extended to help me up, but when I looked up, I saw it was Rocky. I huffed and stood up by myself. "I can handle standing up myself, Rocky."

I then walked out of the classroom, not waiting for a reply.

-Six Hours Later-

I walked up to Billy, who was one of the first of my friends that I saw at the end of the day.. "So, what do you think about the Rangers being T.V.?" I asked him.

He opened his mouth to answer, but Adam's head popped up over my shoulder, "I don't know about him, but I'm nervous. I've never liked being in front of cameras." He said, fiddling with his hands.

I laughed, "Is the big and bad Black Ranger getting camera shy?" I teased in a baby voice.

Adam hit my shoulder, smiling. Billy, Aisha, Adam, Rocky and I all stopped at Billy's locker. Aisha looked on with amusement, "Don't worry Adam. You'll be morphed and no one will know who you are anyway."

True point Aisha, true point.

Adam looked off in the distance, looking really freaked out, "I know but I still don't like cameras."

I cracked up at that. "Oh my god, that is so funny!" I croaked out, in between laughing. Adam looked at me with a glare, and I held my hands out in surrender, "I don't mean to be mean, but you've faced Goldar head on without morphing with no doubt, but one small T.V. interview freaks you out?" I started laughing again.

Rocky decided to add on to my words, the little jerk. "Yeah, and besides, it'll be a blast." He said, clapping a hand on my shoulder. I slinked my way out of the grip and moved to the other side of Adam. Rocky showed a look of hurt, while I rolled my eyes. Billy just spoke calmly to the Black Ranger. "If you think about it, it's a great opportunity to reach out to kids and teens all across the world with a very important and positive message."

Adam looked a little better after Billy said that. The blue ranger just gestured for us to follow him as we left the school. We were meeting Tommy and Kim in the park to talk about what was going to happen at the interview. Rocky walked up next to me. "Hey Kaleb, did I do something wrong? You seem to be avoiding me."

I didn't even look at him, "Gee, what gave you that idea?" I asked, no emotion in my voice, showing that I didn't care.

"But did I do something wrong?" He asked. Oh like he doesn't know!

I glared at him, "I don't know, did you? Think about it, then get back to me." I said, before picking up the pace, walking ahead of the group. Aisha then approached me, grabbing my hand in reassurance. I looked down to her level and she just smiled.

"Kim told me about Rocky." She said simply. I nodded, expecting as much. Aisha and Kim were my two gal-pals, so they told each other everything. She squeezed my hand, "I understand why you're mad at him, but you can't just cut him out of your life." Aisha said.

I sighed, "Aisha, unless you've been in my situation, I don't think you ever will understand. Rocky said something to me that hit really hard. I don't care if it was a spell or if it was his thoughts. The point is that Rocky said it and I can't forgive him." I defended myself.

She sighed, "Fine. But just to let you know, he is really scared that he did something. He can't remember anything about the spell, so give him a break."

I pulled my hand away from her, "Aisha, please. Only I can decide when to forgive him." I said.

Aisha nodded, "I know. Now, can we talk about happier stuff?" She asked.

I raised an eyebrow, "Like what?"

She shrugged, "I don't know. What do you think it is that Zordon and Alpha want to give you after the interview is over?"

I thought a minute. "Maybe it's some kind of advanced communicator, to make up for me not being a ranger. Or maybe he wants me to be Alpha's assistant, working in the Command Center to help out with some things."

Aisha laughed. "I can't see you standing around like Alpha, pressing buttons all day and listening to Zordon constantly telling the robot to get us."

I chuckled, "Yeah, I suppose you're right."

We kept talking like this and before we knew it, Tommy and Kim had joined us. It had rained last night, so there were still some puddles around. My inner kid was released, so as we walked, I hopped in every puddle, making sure not to get any of my friends wet. Kim spoke up, "You guys, I'm so excited to be going on the Harvey Garvey show."

Tommy nodded, "Yeah, it's a great way to spread our message."

I hopped in a puddle, looking at them, "You guys are way too serious sometimes. Just because you're Power Rangers, doesn't mean you have to act like adults. We are still kids." I warned.

Adam just sighed, "Oh dear, it has learned how to make sense. Next thing we know, it'll be smart enough to replicate famous artwork." He mocked.

I glared at him, kicking a bit of loose water from my shoe at him, giving him a smirk. Rocky spoke up from the far side of the group from me. "You know, I'm starting to like this superhero stuff."

The group all had a laugh, except for me, who just hopped in another puddle. I got bored of just hopping so I just said 'hop' after every landing.

"Hop, hop, hop, hop, Goldar!" I announced, stopping my bouncing when the golden ding-bat and a group of Putties appeared out of no where. I sighed, "And today was actually a good day."

Tommy just sighed, "Let's get these creeps." The group pulled out their morphers, "It's Morphing Time!"

Tiger Zord

Mastodon

Pterodactyl

Triceratops

Saber-Tooth Tiger

Tyrannosaurus!

Me, I just sighed, getting in a fighting position. You know, this is getting really tiring. I thought to myself as Goldar sent the Putties after us.

I stayed in my mud puddle, kicking up a big mud ball, hitting a Putty in the face, knocking him back. I hopped over another, like leapfrog, only to be hit in the stomach, making me fall back. I got up, and flipped backwards, landing on the shoulders of a different Putty. I laughed, as I rode the evil foot-soldier. "Yee-haw!"

I steered the Putty into a bunch of other ones, knocking them all out. I jumped off the Putty and turned around to punch the Z on the chest. The Putty disappeared. I watched as Rocky jumped and flipped around in the air, kicking Goldar, making him roll backwards. He stood up, looking miffed. "You'll pay for that you ignorant Ranger! You haven't seen the last of me this day!" He then disappeared with the rest of the Putties.

Kim, still on guard, spoke up, "What was that all about?"

"Zedd is definitely up to something." Billy noted.

Adam nodded, "Yeah, and Goldar said we hadn't seen the last of him."

Billy continued, "I wonder why there was no warning from Zordon this time."

Tommy got all serious, like he always did when Goldar and Putties were involved. "Well, this shows over for now. Let's get to the T.V. station."

I sighed, "You guy have fun. I'll see you later."

Adam just nodded, "Alright, we'll be seeing you Kaleb. Hey, we'll even make a shoutout to you!"

I laughed, "Yeah, okay Adam, you do that. I can't wait to see it."

They then proceeded to teleport out of the park, leaving me alone in the park. I sighed again, "It's not fair. I help out too! Why am I not getting interviewed with everyone?" I muttered, kicking a rock as I started walking home.

Wait, why am I walking? I pressed a button on my watch and the green glow appeared. I lifted up and when I touched down, I was in my room at my house. I walked downstairs, to be met by my little siblings. "Hey Kaleb! You almost missed it!" Tyler spoke first.

"Yeah, the Harvey Garvey show just started! C'mon!" Skylar grabbed my hand and pulled me into the living room. Oh great, just the thing I need to calm my jealousy. Watching the thing that made me jealous in the first place.

So, jealousy is taking over Kaleb and Rocky is clueless to what he did wrong. Should Kaleb forgive Rocky? I don't know.

Review please!
