The next day the rangers, Billy, and their friends gather at Ernie's outdoor cafe. Meanwhile, the three Taylor boys walked into the youth center.
"Hey boys, how are things going?" Ernie asked.
"So far so good, dad is at the car show," Brad said.
"Knowing him he will be there until they kick him out," Randy joked.
"Hey Ernie can we get three smoothies?" Mark asked.
"Sure, would you like what you had yesterday?' Ernie asked.
"Yeah sure thanks," the boys said as Tommy walked up to the bar.
"Hey Tommy, I like you to meet the Taylor's. They are on vacation from Detroit Michigan," Ernie said before he went to go make the smoothies.
"So what brings you three all the way here?" Tommy asked.
"Our dad tricked us into coming out here so he can go to a car show and a tool convention later in the week," Brad said.
"Ok boys, here you are. What can I get you Tommy?" Ernie asked.
"I'll have the usual," he said.
"Coming right up," Ernie said.
"Sounds like you are a regular here," Randy said.
"Yeah, this is the spot. Oh hey, after I get my smoothie, would you like to meet my friends, they are outside?" Tommy asked.
"You mean we can take our smoothies outside?" Brad asked.
"Yeah sure, Ernie has an cafe just outside." Tommy said.
"Are there any girls in the group?" Brad asked.
"Yeah three, BUT they are all taken," Tommy said.
"Hey Brad, aren't you dating Angela?" Mark asked.
"Yeah, but she is not here, besides I like to know if the California girls are better looking," a cocky brad said,
"With questions like that, you will never have a girlfriend," Randy said to Mark.
Brad was asking Tommy about the ranger girls. He also mentioned Emily and Trini.
"Hey guys, this is Brad, Mark, and Randy Taylor. They are on vacation here from Detroit Michigan," Tommy said when they got outside.
Great the blonds and the brunet girls are babes. The other two are nice looking knows what happens to me to me if I make a move. Brad thought.
Why is the tallest one not looking at any of us? I bet Tommy scared him. Kim thought.
"So what do your parents do?" Rocky asked.
"Our dad has his own TV show and our mom is going to school for her Master's Degree in Psychology," Brad said.
"Oh really, what kind of TV show does your dad have?" Adam asked.
"He has a tool show called Tool Time," Randy said.
"I heard of that show. I have seen it on TV before," Jason said.
"Any accidents that you may have seen were not staged. He is accident prone," Mark said.
"Who knew an accident prone man could have his own tool show right?" Randy asked.
"Um Mark could you come with me? I have a question to ask you," Kim said.
"Yeah sure," Mark said as the two of them walked away from the group.
"Why does it look like one of your brothers is trying to avoid my friends and I?" Kim asked.
"Tommy must have scarred him talking about your boyfriend," Mark said.
"Oh really," Kim said with a smirk.
"If I can ask, who is your boyfriend?" he asked.
"Tommy," she said.
"That explains the look in his eyes when Brad asked about your boyfriend," he said.
"What do you mean?" She asked.
"Brad asked Tommy if there were in girls in the group. Even though he has a girlfriend back home, he said that he wanted to know if the girls here are better then the ones back home. If you ask me, his girlfriend back home talks to much," he said.
"If Brad wants to see what a California girl is like, then he will get to find out," she said smiling a devilishly grin before Mark joined the group.
Before she joined the group, her communicator went off. She walked to a secluded area before speaking.
"Go ahead Zordon," she said.
"Contact the other rangers and head to the beach. The cogs are scarring away the visitors," he said.
"I am on it," she said.
"I hate to interrupt, but Tommy we need to go. Something came up," Kim said.
"That reminds me, Tanya and I need to get back to my place, we need to water the plants," Kat said while looking at Tanya.
"Oh yeah, is it that time already? Adam, do you want to come with us?' Tanya asked.
"If you don't mind, I'll come and help out," Todd said.
"I also need to go. I forgot about a science experiment I have been working on," Billy said.
"I'll help you with it," Adam said.
"Me too," Jason said as the rangers, Billy, Zack, Trini, Emily, and Todd shook Brad, Randy, and Mark's hands and said their good byes.
"Since you guys are all leaving, I guess we should get back to the hotel," Brad said.
"Well guys, good luck and be careful," Todd said to the rangers when they got out of site.
"Thanks babe," Kat said before the rangers teleported.
"See you later man," Billy said before he left for the Power Chamber.
The rangers made easy work of the cogs having no problems with them.
"You know, I was just thinking about the boys we met earlier. They said their dad came out here for a tool convention and he host a tool show back in Detroit. Do you think King Mondo turned their day into the monster we fought yesterday?" Rocky asked after they powered down.
"From what I have seen of the show, the monster did sound like their dad," Jason said.
"I think the next monster that we face Tommy has to take on by himself. After all he did scare Brad into not looking at Kat, Tanya, Trini, and I," Kim said.
"Assuming we get married and have a daughter, who needs a shotgun to scare her dates when I can scare him with my words," a blushing Tommy said.
