I got up the next morning, got dressed, said hi to my dad, and headed out for my run. I was enjoying the nice breeze and peace and quiet. When I decided to stop for a minute, my peace and quiet was disturbed when I heard what sounded like fighting. I went to check it out and saw Tommy fighting some putties. I went to help him, but of course, Capri showed up.

"Does Jason know that you have a thing for his friend?" Capri asked.

"What in the world are you talking about?" I asked as I gave her a confused look.

"You know exactly what I'm talking about. This is the second time that I've found you with Tommy." Capri replied.

"You're delusional if you think I would ever hurt Jason. Maybe if Rita handled her own business instead of hiding then everything would be good." I said.

Capri growled before attacking. I fought back and Capri couldn't believe that I wasn't going down so easily. Tommy took off after one of the putties, who took his communicator, and Capri followed while taunting me. I naturally followed but stopped when Tommy got caught in a trap. His morpher fell, but Capri kept me from getting it, so the puttie grabbed it. Capri waved at me before disappearing. I have no idea where the puttie went, but I knew that I had to get the others.

"Hang in there, Tommy. I'm going to go tell the others." I called up to Tommy.

"Be careful Ashlynn." Tommy called back.

I took off and got to the Youth Center in time.

"I wonder what's keeping Tommy." Billy said.

"I don't know. He's not answering his communicator, and he should've been back half an hour ago." Jason said.

"Yeah, did he go to Japan to pick up the black belts, or what?" Kimberly asked.

"Y'know, it's not funny, you guys. I mean he could be in trouble." Zack said.

"Affirmative." Billy added.

I was about to explain everything when our communicators beeped.

"We read you, Zordon." Jason said.

"Teleport to the Command Center, immediately." Zordon said.

"We're on our way." Jason said.

We went to the Command Center and I waited on Zordon to explain to the others what was going on.

"Zordon. Tommy isn't answering his communicator." Jason said.

"That is why I have called you here. Observe the Viewing Globe. He is being held hostage by Rita's putty patrol." Zordon explained as we watched the Viewing Globe.

"Oh no, Tommy." Kimberly said.

"He's really in a bind." Trini added.

"We gotta help him." Zack said.

"Not so fast, Zack. We have another problem. Rita has released a gnarling fang monster, who intends to destroy the Earth." Zordon said.

"Man. Now he's ugly." Zack said.

I shuddered from just seeing the monster.

"Precisely. An absolutely atrocious beast." Billy added.

"But, Zordon shouldn't we help Tommy first?" Kimberly asked.

"He is capable of handling his situation. Your first priority must be to destroy Fang before he can unleash his awesome power." Zordon replied.

The rangers morphed and went to battle Fang. Zordon, Alpha, and I talked and I told Zordon that he had perfect timing. I explained what happened and told them that I was just fixing to tell the others right as he called for us. Zordon chuckled and we went back to watching the globe. I then checked on Tommy and noticed that Capri had shown back up. I went to say something, but Zordon beat me to it.

"I also noticed Capri as well, Ashlynn. Be careful because we don't know exactly why she's there." Zordon said.

"I will, Zordon." I said.

I went back to where Tommy was and spooked Capri.

"Miss me?" I asked.

I noticed that Tommy was peeking out of the trap and knew that I needed to get Capri away long enough for Tommy to get out.

Capri and I fought until Tommy managed to get out of the trap. Capri growled before vanishing. I helped Tommy with the putties and watched as he picked up his communicator and morpher.

"Tommy! Tommy, do you read me?" Jason asked through the communicator.

"I'm right here, buddy. Where are you guys?" Tommy asked.

"We're at the Angel Grove Dam! We need your help! Hurry!" Jason replied.

"I'm on my way." Tommy said.

Tommy morphed and went to help the others and before I could go anywhere, Capri reappeared. I sighed and got ready to fight. We fought until the rangers defeated the monster.

"I'll be seeing you real soon." Capri said before vanishing again.

"I hope not too soon." I said.

I joined the others at the school for the talent show. Jason and Tommy did their thing and, naturally, everyone enjoyed them. Bulk and Skull then got on stage and made complete fools out of themselves. Nobody knew what to say, but we couldn't help but laugh.
