"Hello Detective Stone," Elizabeth Scott said as she walked up to the Juice Bar. She was carrying a box.
"Hello Mrs. Scott," Detective Stone. "What can I get you?"
"Oh nothing," Elizabeth said with a smile. "I was just here to give you some things Jason had." She said putting a bag on the Juice Bar. "I thought some of the kids could use some of this. Jason outgrew them a long time ago." She turned away from the Juice Bar and looked out at the rest of the youth center. She smiled when she saw Rocky and Adam sparring. Just like the old days when she would stop by the Youth Center to watch her son teach a class.
"Thank you Mrs. Scott," Detective Stone said looking inside of the bag. "I know the kids will love this."
"I've got to go," she said as she looked at her watch. She turned around and nearly ran into a teen in a red t-shirt and shorts. He was wearing a bandana on his head. Elizabeth gasped. "Jason?"
The teen looked at her startled. "I'm sorry," he said and then hurried away.
Elizabeth stood there absolutely stunned. She then hurried after him. "Jason?" She called as she hurried outside. She didn't see the teen anywhere. She'd have to tell her husband about it.
Asa stood behind a tree. He was so stupid. He should have said something not run away. He knew that would have been impossible anyway. He never could lie to his grandmother. Now his grandmother would think he was Jason and he was pretty sure he couldn't pull off the amnesia thing with her. What was he going to do?
He decided to teleport up to the Power Chamber.
"Dimitiria," he said stepping forward. "I ran into my grandmother and she thinks I'm Jason."
"ASA LYING COMES WITH BEING A POWER RANGER. YOU WILL HAVE TO FIND A WAY TO CONVINCE HER THAT YOU ARE NOT JASON MUCH LESS HIS SON."
"Dimitria I can't lie to my Grandmother!" Asa said.
"I KNOW LYING CAN BE VERY HARD TO DO ESPECIALLY TO YOUR FAMILY. I AM SURE THAT DETECTIVE STONE WILL BE ABLE TO ASSIST YOU."
"No Dimitria it's not that I can't lie, it's that I can't lie to my Grandmother. She could always see through my lies. I mean I have no problems lying to my parents. Not that I lie to my parents often," he quickly said realizing how that sounded.
Dimitria was silent for a moment contemplating this. "YOU WILL HAVE TO TELL HER THE TRUTH. IT MAY BE FOR THE BEST."
"Truth can be stranger then fiction," Asa said thoughtfully.
Dimitria nodded. "WHATEVER YOU CHOOSE TO DO, IT WILL ALWAYS BE YOUR DECISION."
"Thanks Dimitria." He said before teleporting back to the Youth Center. He found Lucky sitting on the dumpster watching him. He picked him up and walked back inside. At least he had an excuse for where he had been.
Tanya, Kat, and Aisha took a short break from their shopping and sat down in the food court of the mall.
"It feels good to be back in Angel Grove," Aisha said as she placed her bags on the table in front of her. She hadn't been shopping like this in forever. Maybe not since she went to Africa.
"We all really missed you," Kat said, "Angel Grove hasn't been the same."
Tanya looked away for a moment feeling uncomfortable. It had taken her time to adjust to being in Angel Grove and she thought the others were happy to have her. Maybe she was being silly resenting how much attention Aisha was getting. They hadn't seen Aisha in over a year. She was glad to see Aisha. Tanya looked at her watch again. She still had an hour before she had to go home and get ready for her date with Adam.
"This really has been fun," Tanya said trying to sound cheerful. "I'm glad you invited me Aisha."
Aisha grinned. "I needed gossip. Adam and Rocky do not know how to gossip. "Well I know Tanya's been dating Adam, so I need to ask you Kat. Are you dating anyone?"
Kat blushed. No one knew this as they had been keeping it quiet. "Billy and I went on a couple of dates," she admitted.
"You did?" Tanya asked. "You didn't tell me."
"Billy and I didn't want to make it a big deal," Kat said. "Doesn't matter anyway. He's somewhere…else." She looked away thinking about the last person she had dated before Billy. He went away and came back to them in a coffin. I can't think like that, she admonished herself.
"Well I'm happy for you," Aisha said. "I think you guys make a cute couple."
Divatox stood on her submarine watching the exchange with a look of disgust on her face. "That's just too sweet," she said to her henchmen. "Humans and their love lives," she shuddered. She turned to Rygog. "Go down and end their happiness and take some Piranatrons with you."
Rygog nodded and teleported away.
"I hate happiness." She said to no one in particular.
Aisha, Kat, and Tanya were just picking up their packages when there was a flash of light and Rygog and Piranatrons appeared.
The three girls exchanged looks. "I'll get everyone away," Aisha volunteered. She ran and started directing people away from the fight. She had a tough time doing so as the crowd seemed to want to watch the monster fight. It took a lot of convincing but Aisha was able to get everyone to leave.
Tanya and Kat made sure no one was around before Kat yelled, "shift into turbo!" They rushed at the Piranatrons and fought them.
Rygog stood there looking amused as they fought. He was about to fire at one of the Rangers when something caught his attention. It was the girl that had been with the Rangers. She was running back to the fight and started attacking the Piranatrons. He smiled. He had an idea.
He went up behind Aisha and hit her with a blast. She fell to the ground unmoving. One down two to go.
