Discoveries

Part One
Adam Park walked into his living room and plopped down on the couch tiredly.
Hopefully Zedd and Rita don’t decide to attack today. I’m too tired to do
anything but sit here and watch TV. He turned on the television and noticed
that it was on Fox. He thought that his father must’ve been watching the news
that morning. He watched the commercials with little interest and was about to
change the channel until the show came on.
What the?
“Today on
Power Rangers,” the announcer began, “Our heroes organize a Vice-Versa Dance,
where the girls invite the guys. Adam is unconfident that he will be asked to
the dance until a mysterious new girl in town catches his eye. But first, he and
the other Rangers have to dance with some putties as Zedd prepares a little
vice-versa himself.”
Then, the show’s symbol came up, followed by the
introduction. As the cast appeared, Adam became more and more shocked to see his
friend’s name’s pop up as being the characters played. But when he saw his own
name, he jumped back, scared straight. He leapt off the couch and picked up the
phone that lay in the kitchen.
He dialed his best friend’s number and waited
impatiently for an answer.
“DeSantos residence,” someone
answered.
“Alejandro put Rocky on,” Adam said.
“Okay. Rocky! Adam’s on the
phone!”
Adam heard movement in the background.
“Here he is,” Alejandro
said.
“Thanks,” Adam replied.
“Adam, what’s up?” Rocky asked.
“Come
over my house, quick. I just saw something on TV that I think you should
see.”
“Alright.” Rocky paused. “I’ll teleport in.”
“Good.”
Adam hung up
the phone and walked back into the living room. The show was on commercials now,
and he cursed at himself for talking so long on the phone. A second later, a red
beam of light appeared in the room.
“Rocky, man this really freaked me
out.”
“What’d you see?”
“Just sit down and watch.”
“Okay.”
Rocky and
Adam sat down on the couch and watched as the show came back on. As it went on,
Adam came to a shocking realization.
“I had that exact conversation with
Aisha only a month ago! How…” he said.
“I don’t know. Was that the time when
Scorpina posed as a human and pretended to be attracted to you?” Rocky
replied.
Adam nodded. He didn’t like looking back on that
experience.
“Hey, if she hadn’t broken your heart, I would’ve never had the
chance to comfort you,” Rocky said gently.
Adam looked up. Rocky’s deep brown
eyes held sincerity and adoration. “Yeah.”
The two leaned in for a kiss, when
a voice on the television interrupted them.
“Thanks for the advice, Power
Ranger, but I can take care of myself,” Scorpina, in the form of Sabrina, said
to TV-Adam.
“Whoa. Were those her exact words?” Rocky asked, turning back to
Adam.
“Yeah… Man, this is strange. Maybe we should contact the
others.”
Rocky nodded and put his communicator to his lips.
Kimberly Hart smiled as her boyfriend Tommy Oliver walked over to the table.
She watched as her best friend Aisha Campbell sat down at the table and
exchanged smiles with their friend Billy Cranston. She traded a knowing glace
with Tommy and he sat down next to her.
“So, guys, how long do you bet it’s
going to take Zedd to attack?” Tommy asked humorously.
“I hypothesize that it
will take less than three hundred seconds for our communicators to sound,” Billy
replied, playing along.
“I’ll second that motion,” Aisha laughed.
“I’m
with you guys,” Kim agreed.
Only about ten seconds later, Tommy’s
communicator went off with the familiar beep-beep-beep-be-beep-beep. The
four exchanged a glance that was filled with laughter.
“I read you,” Tommy
said into his communicator.
“Tommy, get to Adam’s place quick. It’s urgent,”
Rocky requested.
Tommy exchanged a fearful look with Kim. “Okay, we’ll be
there.”
Adam looked up as four streaks of white, pink, yellow, and blue appeared in
his living room. When they faded, they revealed the rest of the Ranger
team.
“What’s up?” Tommy asked.
“Shhh,” Rocky said. “It’s coming back
on.”
“Just sit down and watch,” Adam said for the second time that
day.
“Okay,” Aisha said uneasily.
Everyone sat down on the couch and
various spots on the floor, as it being there were only three seats on the
couch, which Aisha, Adam, and Rocky occupied. The rest of the show was watched
in silence. After the final credits had ended, Adam flicked off the TV and
turned to his fellow Rangers. Aisha got up and paced, while Tommy and Kim took
up the seats that were once occupied by Adam and Aisha; Adam had moved to
sharing a seat with Rocky. Billy sighed and kept where he was, at loss for any
words.
