Chapter Three

The Power Rangers found themselves sitting at the same table and seats they had sat during lunch. Now was their study period. Even though it was the final period of the day, the students were not allowed off of school grounds. Having a free period did not change the rules.

They were doing homework now, just in case Rita and Zedd decided to attack after school. There had been plenty of times the Rangers had caught themselves pulling all-nighters because of the protecting duties.

Kimberly lightly chewed on her pen going over her math assignment.

"I think I would like to go back to the 1920s," Aisha said as she began Ms. Applebee's assignment.

She was the Yellow Ranger and Kimberly's best friend. She loved fashion and shopping just as much as the Pink Ranger. She was also energetic and committed kind of person. When given a task to do, Aisha would not only do it well, but with gusto. It was almost annoying, but it was one of the things the Pink Ranger loved about her friend.

"Why then?" Rocky, the Red Ranger, asked.

He was a fun loving kind of guy. He was a relaxed kind of guy who would rather eat than work. But he still did well in school. He was loyal and a good friend. Rocky's only true passion was Martial Arts. Kimberly sometimes thought that he loved it more than Tommy and that was saying a lot.

"The music," Aisha said. "I would love to be there to witness some of the music legends at their best."

"So, what about you, Billy, what period of time would you like to have lived in?" Rocky asked the Blue Ranger.

Billy thought for a second before smiling.

"That's an easy one," he answered. "Back in the 30s with Albert Einstein. Of course, I'd have to be his assistant."

They all laughed. It was an obvious answer. Billy Cranston was the smartest boy in school. It was amazing that he was still in high school. He even helped out in the Command Center. Nothing seemed to surpass his intelligence, not even alien technology. Whenever he became stumped, he would always discover a solution just in time to save everyone.

"Of course," Adam said commenting on Billy's answer. "Man, this is a tough one for me."

"Come on, Adam," Aisha prodded. "There's gotta be some period of time you'd be interested in."

Adam ducked his head.

"Don't be shy," Kim pressed.

Adam Park was the Black Ranger. He was a quiet, shy guy. He had so much going for him. He was athletic. He played baseball and soccer. He was also an accomplished Martial Artist. Plus, he was smart, in the top percentile of the class. Kimberly always wondered why he never had a girlfriend.

"I'm not," he said with a slight blush. "Ok, maybe the Renaissance time. Everything seemed, I don't know, romantic."

"Awe," Aisha cooed causing Adam's blush to deepen.

"That's so sweet," Kim said.

That was one thing all of the boys had in common. They were romantics at heart. When they had girlfriends they were the nicest, most considerate boyfriends that Kim had ever seen. It was odd, because most guys their age were jerks that wanted one thing from a girl. It made Kim proud that Tommy Oliver, the White Ranger, was the only guy she has ever dated.

"Ok," Kim said knowing that if they continued to talk about Adam's choice, that they would embarrass him until he was beet red. "I've finished all of my math and my history. That means I just have English. Now, the time period I would really like to be in… would have to be…"

She really couldn't think of anything.

"I don't know."

"Come on," Tommy said nudging her. "It can't be that hard. I would like to go back into the 60s and meet Bruce Lee."

Kim smiled up at him. She loved him so much.

"Good choice," She said giving him a kiss on the cheek. "But I'm still stumped."

"Well, don't worry about it," Aisha said. "You have three days."

"But do not wait too long," Billy said. "You don't want to get stuck with only your first draft."

"I know," Kim said smiling over at Billy.

The bell rang for the end of period and the end of school. The Ranger's gathered their things and left the table to their lockers. They may have been six of the brightest students in Angel Grove, but they were still teenagers and would like to do something other than school work and after school activities.
