A few days after the Rangers were on The Harvey Garvey Show they were at the park with Todd, Trini, Zack, and Emily.
"You know, since you and the others were set free, we seem to be getting close again," Jason said to Emily.
"Yes we have. Are you asking me out again?" Emily asked.
"Will you say yes if I did? Also will you be my prom date?" Jason asked.
"Of course," Emily said.
"Aw man, prom is coming up and I do not have a date," Rocky said.
"Don't feel bad man, if you do not have a date, you can hang out with us," Adam said.
Kim whispered something to Kat and she shook her head. Then Kat informed Tanya the plan. Tommy, Todd, and Adam noticed the three girls smiling. Everyday after school, the Rangers, Billy, Jason, Zack, Trini, Emily, and Todd were decorating for prom.
"So this is really a big deal here in the states?" Todd asked.
"There is something like this in Australia," Kat said.
"I know, my older cousins back home, told me about it," Todd said.
"Don't worry guys, as long as you two arrive and have fun that is all," Tommy said.
"At least everyone has a date," Rocky said getting off a ladder.
"I take it that you are having a hard time finding a female companion?" Billy asked.
"If you are asking me if I have found a date, then no," Rocky said.
"I went to sign Angelia and myself up before school and I saw a question mark next to your name," Zack said after he blew up a balloon.
Everyone started blowing up balloons.
"Speaking of you and Angelia, how in the world did you get her to go with you?" Jason asked.
"Simple, when I returned from Switzerland, we got close," Zack said.
"Let me guess you wouldn't leave her alone? " Kim asked.
"I hope you did not buy her another pair of pearl earrings," Tommy said.
"Naw man, she told me not to buy her anymore pearls," Zack said.
"What happened?" Adam asked.
"It was a trap set by Rita. The earring turned out to be a monster," Kim said.
"Wait, you saw a question mark by my name on the prom date list?" Rocky asked.
"Yep," Zack said.
"But I did not put it there. I left the space next to my name blank," Rocky said.
"Oh man, I hope it is not another trick by Rita or Zedd," Tommy said.
"Like what one of them did to me? Don't remind me of Sabrina, who turned out to be Scorpina," Adam said.
"You dealt with Scorpina? She is bad news," Trini said.
"Tell me about it. Thank goodness we have not dealt with her since," Adam said.
"Guys, who put the question mark down?" Rocky asked.
Nobody said anything.
"A mystery, I guess I'll have to use my handy dandy notebook," Rocky said.
"You did not just break out a line from Blues Clues did you?" Adam asked tossing a balloon towards Rocky.
"Hey now, Rene says it all the time," Rocky said.
"Who is Rene?" Emily asked.
"His five year old sister," Kim said.
"She is six now," Rocky said.
"What is Blues Clues?" Todd asked.
"It is a kids show," Adam said.
"Hey wait a minuet Adam, how do you know about Blues Clues?" Rocky asked.
"I am one of your best friends. I have been to your house several times. It seems like every time I am there, Rene wants me to watch an episode, that your mom recorded, with her," Adam said.
"Oh yea," Rocky said.
"I think I can save you the trouble," Jason said looking at Kim.
"Jason Lee Scott, what makes you think I have something to do with it?" Kim asked tossing a balloon his direction.
"Oh come on Kim, we know it is your nature to do something like this," Jason said.
"I agree," Tommy said.
"Ok, I admit I do have something to do with it, but you do not have any proof it came from me," she said putting a balloon in a box.
"I guess I'll have to ask around if anybody saw who done it," Rocky said.
"There is also a scientific approach to take," Billy said.
"No need for that. I admit I did it," Kat said.
"When?" Todd asked.
"After you signed us up and you went to the restroom," Kat said.
"What are you up to beautiful?" Tommy asked.
"It is not just me hansom. Kat admitted to being a part of my plan," Kim said.
"Well it is Monday, and the prom is on Saturday, so we still have a few days to figure out what you two are up to," Tommy said looking at Kim and Kat.
"Neither one of you two are under a spell, are you?" Rocky asked.
Kim and Kat slapped him in the back of the head.
"Do you think they would tell us if they were," Tanya said.
"Good point," Rocky said.
From what Kim and Kat told me, you probably will like the surprise.Tanya thought.
Now if only there are no attacks during prom. Kim thought.
Two days later, Tanya received a letter in the mail and she showed it to Kat. (I may have speed up mail and travel time for this story)
"Sounds like the plan is in place. Now all we need to do is make sure the guys do not follow us tomorrow evening," Kat said.
"Not to mention a monster attack. By the way, we should call Kim," Tanya said.
"What are we going to tell mom?" Kat asked.
"I already thought of that," Tanya said.
"Thought of what?" Kat's mom asked walking into the room.
"Oh my cousin from Africa sent me a letter saying she will be flying to Angel Grove tomorrow. Is it ok if she stays here for the weekend?" Tanya asked.
"That is great that you will be spending some time with family, but we do not have any extra room here, and I would have to talk to Kat's dad," Kat's mom said.
"She could stay with me in my room if it is ok. I know it is such short notice, but she forgot to ask me sooner if she could stay here," Tanya said.
"We will let you know," Kay's mom said.
"We were just on our way to the youth center," Kat said.
"Ok you two be careful," Kay's mom said.
"We will bye mom," Kat said.
When Kat and Tanya arrived, they found Kim near the balance beam.
"Operation Rocky date is a go. I just got the ok this afternoon," Tanya said.
"Now if only the guys do not suspect anything," Kim said.
Just then Bulk and Skull sneaked up behind them.
"We hear Kim and Kat are keeping a secret from Tommy and the guys," Bulk said.
"Yea, and we plan to uncover your secret," Skull said.
"Tommy hired you two to figure out what we are up to?" Kim asked.
"Not exactly. We over heard Tommy and Rocky talking when we volunteered our services," Bulk said.
"In other words you two forced your way into our business," Kat said.
"Call it what you want. Now spill the beans," Bulk said.
"No way. Come on girls," Tanya said.
The next morning the Rangers met before the first class.
"Hey hansom, Tanya and I have to run to the airport after school. One of her cousins is flying in today," Kim said.
"Oh really, why just the two of you?" Tommy asked.
"Tanya told Kat and I about her cousin coming in and I offered to give her a ride to the airport," Kim said.
"Ok, be careful beautiful," Tommy said.
Tanya's 'cousin' hum... He thought walking to his first class.
"Man something strange is going on. First Tanya tells me that one of her cousins in flying in today, then she tells me that her and Kim are going to be at the airport after school," Adam said to Tommy.
"Kim told me the same story," Tommy said before the bell rang.
As soon as the final bell rang, Kim and Tanya made their way to the airport. Tommy, Adam, Rocky, Kat, Billy, Todd, Jason, Emily, Zack, and Trini went to the youth center for a little while before helping to decorate for the prom. Bulk stood right behind Tommy.
"Psss," Bulk said.
Tommy turned around elbowing Bulk in the processes.
"Aw man, are you ok?" Tommy asked.
"Yea I'll be fine. We did find something out yesterday. Apparently Tanya has something to do with Kim's plan," Bulk said.
"Tommy and I figured something was up with them anyways," Adam said.
What do those two know? Kat thought.
"Anything else?" Tommy asked.
"They are calling it 'operation Rocky date'," Bulk said.
"That is all we know," Skull said.
"Well we are back to where we started," Rocky said.
"Sounds like they are fixing you up with one of Tanya's cousins," Adam said.
What a relief that they have not figured out the truth. Kat thought.
"Are you alright babe?" Todd asked Kat.
"Yeah," Kat said.
"That could be a cover up," Jason thought.
The group decided to go their separate ways before getting together at the gym. As soon as Kat got home, she went to her room and contacted Kim and Tanya to update them. After they were informed about what happened, they met with the girl everyone knew about as 'Tanya's cousin'.
"I think Rocky will like what we are doing," Kim said.
"Say what did you tell everyone?" The mystery girl asked.
"We told everyone we went to pick up my cousin who flew in today. Kat's mom thinks you are my cousin from Africa," Tanya said.
"Come Saturday night, everyone will know the truth," Kim said pulling into Kat's driveway.
"What hotel am I staying at?" The mystery girl asked.
"Girl you are not staying at a hotel, you are staying here. Kat's parents told me last night is it alright with them. You will like them," Tanya said.
Saturday morning, Zordon called the Rangers and Billy to the Power Chamber.
"Man I had a feeling something would happen today," Tommy said.
"Nothing has happened yet. Although if something were to happen tonight, we are prepared," Zordon said.
"Yes the Alien Rangers are ready if they are needed. So you can enjoy your night," Alpha said.
"If either group decides to come to Earth directly, Alpha and I have re wired Louie Kaboom so he could wipe out whoever attacks, if the need arises," Billy said.
"Great job guy," Tommy said.
"Before you leave, I need to have a word with the girls alone," Zordon said.
Kim, Kat, and Tanya started to get worried while the guys left.
"You wanted to speak to us Zordon?" Kat nervously asked.
"I am aware of your plan and you are fixing Rocky up with. While I do not want to get involved with your personal lived, I accept what you three are doing for Rocky," Zordon said.
"Is that all?' Tanya asked.
"Yes you are free to join the others," Zordon said.
That was close. All three of them thought after they landed in the park.
"Are you three in trouble?" Tommy asked.
"No, Zordon knows about our plan and he approves," Kim said.
If Zordon approves of it, I bet they brought Aisha back. Rocky thought.
That evening Tommy and Billy went to Trini's house to pick up their dates, while Todd and Adam went to Kat's house. The identity of Rocky's mystery date was kept a secret until everyone arrived at the school, Kat put a sheet over her with two eye holes.
"It's the prom not a costume party," Adam said.
"We know I just do not want you to spoil the surprise to Rocky," Tanya said.
"I was in favor of this until Tanya covered me up," the mystery girl said.
Before everyone headed to the prom, King Mondo, Queen Machina, Klank, and Prince Sprocket were seen a mile away from the Power Chamber. The alarms went off.
"Aye-yi-yi-yi-yi! I knew something would happen tonight," Alpha said.
"It is time for the for the final strike," Zordon said.
The Rangers heard the six tone beep and they knew something was wrong.
"This is why we decided to go early," Tommy said.
"Go ahead Zordon," Kim said into her communicator.
"Report to the Power Chamber," Zordon said.
Rocky was with Jason and Emily when they heard the beeps.
"Hopefully we will not be late," Jason said before Rocky spoke to Zordon.
"This is not the time," Todd said when he heard the beeps.
Tanya spoke to Zordon before everyone parked at an empty parking lot. The Rangers and Billy teleported to the Power Chamber leaving Todd, Emily, Trini, and Rocky's date alone. The mystery date pulled the sheet off of her before the four gathered together to talk.
Where have I seen her before? Todd thought.
Wait until everyone sees what Kim came up with.Trini thought.
After the Rangers were told about the latest trouble, they went to take on the Machine Empire. The rangers struggled until Tommy decided to use the Defender Wheel. All four of the mechanical villains got out of the way.
"Guys it is time for you to meet the new and improved Louie Kaboom. You should come back here," Billy said.
Once the Rangers returned to the Power Chamber, Billy sent the bomb destroying King Mondo and his family into millions of non repairable tiny pieces. The Rangers, Billy, and Alpha hi five each other before they went back to the parking lot. As soon as Todd saw the color beams in the sky, he told Rocky's date to get back into the car. When everyone arrived at the school, Tanya revealed Rocky his date.
"I had a feeling it was you," Rocky said with a big smile.
Everyone was happy to see Rocky and Aisha re united. Before the grand march, Miss Applebee asked Rocky for the name of his date. After he told her, everyone took there places before the introductions. The grand march went off as planned. Everyone enjoyed theirselves during prom.
"Where did you get your yellow dress?" Rocky asked Aisha.
"Kim bought it for me," she said.
