I looked around the command centre in total awe walking up to the panels to touch them. I see next to me the worry wart of a robot named Alpha and I guess out of always wanting to say this I say, “Hey Alpha.”
He turns, “Hi, um, ah who are you? Intruder alert!”
“Alpha! Alpha! I’m the person the rangers met at the Youth Center and brought me here. I assume the weird looking object in your hand is for me or rather for Billy to use on me,” I said stifling a laugh as were the others.
“Oh, who are you?” he asked.
“I’m Cassie and you’re just how I imagined you to be in person so to speak.” Wearing a wide grin on my face.
“Why thank you. Wait how-“ the little robot started to ask.
“Well before I become a lab rat, there is more you guys should know.” I gave them a few seconds for this to sink in before I began again.
“I’m from the year 2008, I was born in 1987 and yes I know it’s about 1994. On top of that I know this will be hard to believe, but where I’m from you guys do exist but not in the same way.”
I waited for a few minutes for a response and Billy spoke up, “How do we exist in your world?”
“Well, you’re characters in a T.V. show that started in 1993. The first three seasons were known as “The Mighty Morphin’ Power Rangers” and this is how I know what year it is based on who the current teammates are.”
“Wow.” Tommy awed.
Zordon just looked on and wait for me to finish my story.
“Wow is right,” was all I could say.
“I know you’re probably wondering why Zordon is not freaking me out. Well I am freaking out but in a good way because I’m a major sci-fi geek, ya know I love Star Trek. I dream about stuff like this happening. I think it’s cool that Zordon is a big floating head. I admit that I don’t like how he ended up that way, but cool none the less.”
“So you’re a female Billy?” Rocky asked. I couldn’t help but laugh at his question.
“Yes in away, but I don’t use as big of words as he does,” I said jokingly. “Not that there is anything wrong with that, but try to be a six year old watching this show and barely understand every other word coming out of your favorite rangers’ mouth. You begin have tricks up your sleeve to understand.”
“I’m your favorite ranger?” Billy asked.
“Well one of them but yeah. You the blue ranger, which my favorite color is blue and well you’re really smart.” I stammered.
“Well I’m honored to be one of your favorite rangers,” he stated.
“Billy, lets do this and get it over with,” I ordered.
“Here we go.”
As he moved the device over my body, it began to tingle and the feeling would double over the area he was currently testing. While this was going on I felt my stomach doing flip flops, but then I had just noticed this one and it could have been happening since I arrived to Angel Grove. Billy soon stopped moving the device around my body, “Well that’s it. I’ve collected all the data, but now we have to wait until it’s done processing.”
A few moments later a print out of the test came out and Billy grabbed it, “This confirms it. You definitely went through some sort of trans-dimensional time warp, but how I don’t know.”
“And that means?” Rocky inquired.
“What he said was that I did cross dimensions and time although he doesn’t understand how,” I explained shaking my head. “Oh,” Rocky said now understanding.
“Wait you understood that without having to explain it. What are you Trini in some way?” Kim asked.
“Yes I understood and part of is it because I went through it. Two, I have been watching power rangers whether reruns or not off and on since I was six and so I kind of picked up things and I have an extensive vocabulary when I like to use it. Three, it goes with the reading thing if there are certain words in the sentence that I don’t know and as well as certain words I do know. I use the words I do know to help understand what the other one make sense. That I also use etymology of the word.” I explained.
“Oh.” Kim said.
“Sorry I like to ramble and I hope you understood that if you didn’t especially the last part I meant I break down the word in a way by knowing what the base word is or by its prefix or suffix. It helps when you taking achievement tests or the like.”
“That’s okay. It makes more sense now, but I think we’re all too dependent on Billy or someone explaining what he says,” Kim commented.
“I know. You don’t have to tell me that,” I affirmed.
“Now Cassie, Do you know how you ended up in Angel Grove?” Billy pressed.
“Well not really, but I will tell what happened. I was watching TV and no it wasn’t the Power Rangers because I would have to go online and watch the season I want to watch. Anyways back to what I was saying, I was watching TV and I somehow ended up in the park,” looking at them as I told them what happened.
“Cassie, do you know precisely when that happened?” Zordon inquired.
“No, not really I don’t even know how long I passed out but before that I ran from the park and that took me maybe 10 minutes, but I was walking around the for a few minutes or so. I don’t really know since I was in a panic and trying to find out where I was.” I replied with my southern accent coming through a little from being scared.
“Well, if that’s the case maybe her coming here was what caused the disturbance,” Adam speculated.
“That’s a definite possibility,” Billy remark. “Alpha could check Cassie’s results with reading from the scanners about an hour ago.”
“Sure thing, Billy,” Alpha complied.
“Are you thinking that my signature is going to match the signature of whatever scanners found?” I asked Billy.
“Well, yes. Considering that where you said you were when you first came to Angel Grove and that the disturbance happened at about the same time if not the same time and place,” Billy stated.
“Great,” I remarked.
Again the familiar sound of the results printing out and Billy reading them out loud, “It’s definitely the same signature.”
“Well at least part of the question is answered, but I still would like to know how to get here and once we find that out go back to my home,” I vocalized.
“We may in time find out how you got her and find away to get you back, Cassie. Because we do not know the affects of someone like you not being in their own dimension,” Zordon proclaimed.
“That’s true. Don’t worry, Cassie. I’ll start researching and find away to get you back. I promise,” Billy assured me.
“I’m grateful for that Billy. I know you will do your best,” I expressed.
“No we will all help, because as you know that’s what we do,” Tommy told me.
“Tommy around books and machinery other than a zord not good,” I quipped.
“Hey!” Tommy cried out a little hurt.
“Girl, you’re going to get along with us just fine,” Aisha said as she put one arm on my shoulder.
I couldn’t help but smile some more at that remark.
“Um, guys I know we have figured almost everything out, but where am I going to stay and we know that I can’t stay in the command centre all the time,” I declared.
“Well, um, figured that out a little later there is a few things we need to do that is connected to that,” Kim assessed.
“I know what you mean. Coming up with the perfect story that no one will question. I Gotcha,” winking as I said it.
“Besides you know so much about what going to happen. It will be nice to talk to someone about all that’s happened that isn’t a ranger, but knows at the same time,” Kim commented.
“I know, Kimberly, but there is one thing I want you all to know is that if you ask any questions about the future I will either not answer or be as vague as possible. Because as much I am going to sound like Doc Brown from BTTF, no one should know too much about their own destiny,” I said. “As much as I would like to tell you, I’m not going to. You might get angry at me for knowing what happens but know this I am doing this for your own good, because for me what happens here is set in stone and I will seeing it again as well as living it.”
“I agree with Cassie on this one, Rangers. Even though it may strain your relationship with her, you shouldn’t ask her the outcome,” Zordon advised to them all.
“I think we should go back to town. Cassie you’ll have to tag along with someone whenever we teleport anywhere until I make you one,” Billy reported.
“Cool can’t wait,” I commented.
“Hold on Cassie,” Adam said. “Cause here we go.”
And we were gone in a flash of 7 colored lights.
