This is the first episode that actually is in Two parts in the show! So, I decided to make it easy and write one part for each chapter!

I don't own Power Rangers!

Kaleb's PoV

o0o0o0o0o0o0o

You'd think that I'd be traumatized and angry with Rocky after the stunt he pulled at the lake, but you'd be wrong, thinking that. It actually went well, once I had calmed down. I was still terrified of the water, but at least I know that if I ever get stranded in the ocean, I can tread water and keep myself afloat. That's gotta earn me some points, right? An A for effort? No? Aw well, you can't win them all.

It was the day before Thanksgiving and Mrs. Appleby told us each to bring in a picture of us as a child and explain to the class why it is so important to us. It was easy to pick my picture, with no questions about it.

Aisha was the first one called up. She held up her photo which was her, as a little kid, "This is me, after my first dance recital. It was special to me because my grandmother, who was sick, was able to come and I made her real proud." She explained, looking really happy. I smiled at my friend. Kim made a comment about her looking cute, so Mrs. Appleby chose her next. I snickered at her misfortune.

She held out a picture, like Aisha, except this one was of Kimberly in a gymnast uniform. "Uh, this is me after my first gymnastics competition. I was kind of bummed though because I lost, but you know what? It taught me to be a good sport and that has helped me a lot." She finished. I rolled my eyes. Yeah, sportsmanship sure helps when you're kicking Goldar's shiny butt back to the moon where he belongs.

"Tommy, how about you?"

Said White Ranger walked up and showed a picture of him as a kid. That guy must've never gotten a haircut, because he had long hair as a kid too. It was him doing a full split and holding a trophy. He explained it being his first win at a karate tournament.

Billy showed a picture of him with some type of machine all taken apart. Figures, with him. He explained it was his mother's vacuum cleaner and it took a while for him to get it back together again.

Rocky showed a picture of him with a black dog. I inwardly swooned, because kiddie Rocky was just so cute! I barely paid any attention to him when he explained it being his dog Buster and him learning responsibility.

Adam showed a picture of him with his dad, working on a car. He just said something about him doing stuff together with his father.

Bulk and Skull even took the assignment serious, telling and showing when they first became friends. I'd say that's a special time.

"Kaleb? You're next." Mrs. Appleby called out.

I took a nervous breath and nodded. I stood up and walked to the front the class. I held out my picture which was of my old house in Connecticut. It had three people sitting on the steps. One was me as a nine year old kid. I still looked sort of the same, except I grew taller and my hair grew out. The second person was a little girl, a little older than I was at the time. She had blonde hair and was wearing a pink sundress. The third person was my dad, before he vanished.

I spoke up, "This isn't really a specific moment. I just like this picture because it shows me with my childhood friend Kitty, and my dad. He was my biggest and all time hero." I said, smiling sadly. Mrs. Appleby spoke up.

"Kaleb, I don't mean to intrude, but what do you mean by 'was'?" She asked.

I gave her a small smile, before looking to my friends. They all knew what I meant, so they nodded, telling me to go through with it. I sighed, "Well, when I was ten, my father just vanished. He went to work one day and he never came back. Some people say he died, while others say he was taken. I'd like to think that he was dead, because that way, he wouldn't be suffering about missing his family." I replied to my teacher, choking. I had a few tears welling up in my eyes, and Kim ran up and hugged me, like the perfect friend she was.

Mrs. Appleby gave me a guilty look, "I'm so sorry Kaleb. I didn't mean…"

I just shook my head, "It's fine Mrs. Appleby. It's just a touchy subject."

She nodded, "So, what about this friend in the picture?"

I grinned, "Her name was Kitty, or at least, I called her that. She was great. She moved next door to me in Connecticut when I was five years old. She moved all the way from Australia and she promised that she'd take me there one day, so I could see her home. Plus, she knew how much I loved Koala bears. I still do actually." I explained.

Mrs. Appleby smiled, "Thank you Kaleb. You may take your seat now." She told me. I nodded and walked back to my desk. Adam, Aisha and Rocky, who were the ones around my desk each gave me a supportive look. I wiped my eyes for any lingering tears and and smiled at them. They were the best friends I could ever ask for. Now, if only Kitty were here. Too bad she moved back to Australia to compete in the Pan Global games. She was a great diver, so I guess she had to follow her dreams.

I looked at the clock to see what time it was, as I hoped that class would end soon, to see the hands moving backwards. I raised an eyebrow, as Billy addressed this to Mrs. Appleby. Everyone in the class became entranced with this, while I got up. "Mrs. Appleby, do you mind if I take a look at the clock? I might be able to fix it. The clock in my kitchen does the same thing sometimes." I asked.

She smiled, "Of course Kaleb. Just be careful."

I nodded, and walked over to the door, I analyzed what I had to do and just as I was going to get a chair to stand on, a huge burst of white hit me.

I shook my head, groaning in some sort of pain. It must've been some kind of headache. I looked around. So, this is my class now? I mean, the people seem cool, but what about the teacher? I hope they were nice. I looked for said teacher and she came forward with a smile. She had very poofy brown hair, "Hello there!" She cooed, bending down to my level, as I was only nine years old.

I looked away, "Hi." I whispered, hiding behind my glasses. I was always a shy little kid, and it took a while for me to actually come out of my shell as my dad tells me. The teacher just beamed, "You must be Kaleb Rodrigues, right?" She asked.

I nodded, looking down at the ground, playing with my fingers. It was just a nervous tick I did. She continued smiling, "Class, this is Kaleb. He is a new transfer student all the way from Connecticut. I want you all to make him feel welcome." She then pointed to two kids in the back, "No pranks on him Bulk and Skull." She scolded.

The teacher turned back to me, "I'm Mrs. Appleby, so if you need anything, just come to me." I nodded, and looked around. There were plenty of empty seats, but Mrs. Appleby escorted me to one, "You'll sit right here. Rocky and Billy will be able to help you out." She said.

I looked around. The kid next to me was a guy with brown hair that was neatly brushed and he also wore glasses. He was wearing all blue. He looked nice enough. The guy behind me had spiky brown hair with a ponytail at the back. He was wearing all red. They both looked nice.

Mrs. Appleby left to go back to the front. She wrote something on the board and turned back to the class, "Alright class, who can divide thirty into nine hundred?" She asked.

A girl with brown hair and wearing a pink dress raised her hand and went up to the front of the room, explaining the problem out. I looked around to see that the same two kids Mrs. Appleby scolded were doing something with a green balloon. I looked to a black girl, who was wearing a lot of yellow. She raised an eyebrow at me, and I pointed to the back.

The girl looked, and rolled her eyes. One of the guys muttered something about the girl in pink being a teacher's pet. The girl in yellow just shook her head, "Grow up Skull!"

I snickered into my hand, trying not to make too much noise. That didn't work out well, because there was a loud pop and the two boys stood up with foam all over their faces. I cracked up laughing, along with the other kids. They started arguing, while Mrs. Appleby rushed over there and grabbed them by their ears. "Would somebody please tell me who is responsible for this?" She asked, looking very angry.

The girl in yellow raised her hand, having Mrs. Appleby call her, "Aisha?"

The girl gave an innocent smile, "Bulk and Skull put a slime balloon under Kimberly's chair."

The bigger kid looked down to the ground, "Yeah, but it backfired."

Mrs. Appleby sent them off to the principal's office and she looked exhausted. I chuckled to myself, before hearing the bell ring. She held a hand to her head, "Class dismissed."

I got up and started walking out when I felt a person grab my arm. I looked to see the kid in red smiling at me, "Hey, new kid. Why don't you come with us to the park?" He asked.

I smiled, nodding, "O-okay!" I stuttered quietly.

He proceeded to grab and pull me along so I could catch up with the other kids he was with. The girl in yellow, the guy in blue, and the girl with the pink dress was with them. The guy in red called out to the other kids, "Hey you guys, the new guy is coming with us!" He said.

They all turned around. The only people that I didn't remember seeing in the classroom was a guy with long, straight brown hair tied in a ponytail and was wearing white and another guy that had really short black hair and wore all black. I smiled shyly at them, "Uh, h-hi." I whispered, not used to having this many people around to play with.

The girl in yellow just laughed, "You don't have to be scared of us! We aren't that bad!" She said, still laughing. I blushed a bit, still embarrassed.

The guy in red started introducing himself, "My name is Rocky. Nice to meet you, um…Cable?" He asked.

The girl in the pink hit his shoulder, "It was Kaleb, not Cable you doofus!" She snapped at him, before smiling at me, "I'm Kimberly. Call me Kim though." She said.

I laughed at her. She was funny. The guy in white smiled at me, "My name's Tommy."

The others introduced themselves as Billy being the guy in blue and having the glasses, Adam was the guy in all black and Aisha was the girl in yellow. I smiled, happy that they all liked me. They all accepted me right away, which was awesome!

We all went into this really big park. It was huge, and there was so many people there already. The group led me to an open space by a picnic table, which I sat down at. Kim and Aisha started giggling about some dance Aisha was doing. Adam and Billy were trying to fly a kite. Rocky and Tommy were play fighting, doing so karate stuff. My mom always thought that karate would break me out of my shell, so she signed me up for some lessons, but I don't think they are working.

I'm not out of my shell, but at least I can fight well. I watched as Bulk and Skull came over and took Billy's kite, making me get up and joining them, "G-give that b-back to B-Billy!" I told them, stuttering. Oh yeah, that was one thing I had back as a kid. I always stuttered on certain words in a sentence.

The two just laughed at me, "You talk funny." The smaller one sneered making me look down, all sad. The kids at my old school laughed at me the same way and made fun of the way I spoke. Aisha pat my back, glaring at the bullies. The two stopped laughing at me and tried getting the kite to fly, but Skull wrapped them up in the line.

Kim laughed, "Hey Skull, how about a kiss?" That got the smaller guy's attention and he tried to move towards her, but they both fell.

Aisha laughed as well, "Serves you right!"

Tommy and Rocky walked by, with Rocky speaking, "What's going on?"

I pointed to the bullies laughing, "B-Bulk and Sk-Skull were l-learning how to fly a k-kite!" I joked, hoping that they'd find it funny of what I said and not how I said it.

Turns out they all did laugh at what I said. Adam ran over to a bag he brought and pulled out two big red balls. "Hey you guys, want to play dodgeball?" He asked.

A few moments later, we all were running around, either trying to get the ball or dodging the ball. It was actually really fun. I kept hiding behind people though, so I never got hit. Rocky threw the ball at Tommy, really hard, only for some grey creature thing to jump up and catch it out of the air.

It landed and it was with more of those things that looked exactly alike. I yelped and hid behind the closest person to me, Billy. "Monsters!" I whispered/screamed.

Aisha stepped backwards, "Whoa, who are those guys and where in the world did they come from?"

Billy stepped back as well, so I did the same, "Um, uh, another planet?"

They started surrounding us, making me grab onto Billy, "I'm sc-scared!" I squeaked.

Then, Tommy, Billy and Rocky each asked questions that just didn't make sense for the situation. I didn't know what they were, where'd they come from and I don't think they were lost! They wanted to take us back to wherever it is that they live and eat us!

Kimberly backed towards me, "My mother told me never to talk to strangers. And these guys look really strange to me." She said, giving the freaks a dirty look.

The weird grey things then started running towards us, making me take off, trying to get away from them. One almost grabbed me, but I kicked it's hand away, "Get a-away!" I cried, backing away from them. I then looked to the ground and saw a stick. I picked it up and swung a few times, getting their attention. "I h-have a st-stick and I d-don't know h-how to use it!"

I then swung at them, hitting one in the grey plate on it's chest. I heard everyone yelling to aim for the Z. So I looked and saw that the Z was on the plate. I hit it again and the Z started glowing.

I ran between it's legs, getting back with the others, shaking in fear. I fell onto the ground, seeing that the rest of the freaks were broken apart. "That was scary." I muttered, not stuttering at all.

They all nodded, except Rocky and Tommy, they just did a special handshake thing and celebrated. It took a while, but we all got off the ground and shook ourselves off of any fear left behind. Tommy suggested we take a walk incase more of those things showed up.

Bulk and Skull ended up following us, but they stayed hidden behind bushes. I thought it was safer by either Rocky or Tommy's side, because they seemed to have the best fighting skills.

"Smile for the camera!" A voice called out.

Kim got excited, "Camera? Where?" She looked around, along with all of us. There was this white thing standing there with a giant camera in it's stomach. It also had some kind of scrapbook on it's head. I flinched, "Eep!" I yelped.

Aisha just shook her head, "I don't think this is like having our school picture done!" She said sassily. Normally, I would've laughed, but now, I was terrified.

The monster laughed, before shooting colorful beams at us. I wanted to run, but when the beam hit me, I couldn't move. My whole body glowed green, and pretty soon, my world just went black.

The monster grinned, happy with it's work. Laying where the kids were standing moments ago was a lone photograph of each of the kids. The monster laughed again, succeeding in trapping the Rangers as children in a picture, with no way of escape.

So, the kids are all in a picture, trapped. Now, I'm not going to write out what happens to get them back out, but I will write from when they are released. It is a little character development for Kaleb.

Review please!
