Power Rangers Zoo-Keepers Season 2

Firebird

EPISODE 26: FIREBIRD
(Adapted from "I Wanna Protect An Important Day")

We open this episode at Titanic Taste, the Aquarium Sector restaurant, at lunchtime. Given that it's a nice day, several keepers from various corners of the zoo are sitting down at different tables. At one table in particular we see the Eagle keeper group briefly seen back in Episode 23. Appearance-wise, one is a tan-skinned woman with short black hair, one is a blonde woman, one is an East-Asian man, and one is an African man. As they're eating, the tan woman looks up, and nudges the others, gesturing them to look at another table where we see Benny and Jackie having a conversation.

Benny: What? No way.

Jackie: I'm telling you, the Osprey had 2 of them.

Benny: Look, ospreys can carry, but a Humboldt Squid!?

Jackie: Well, they were little ones.

Benny: But 2 of them? I-In WASHINGTON?

Jackie: You'd be surprised how far north those psychos can travel.

While those last two pieces of dialogue are said, the tan-skinned woman looks to the other Eagle Keepers, who all share a collective nod before she stands up and walks over.

Christine: Hi there. Mind if I interrupt real quick?
(She sounds like Ally from 'Amphibia')

Jackie: Oh, sup? The name's Jackie.

Christine: Gotcha. I've seen you around the booth a few times. Name's Christine Kiperman.

Jackie: Nice to meet yah. And this is—

Christine: Not to worry, I know Martha's kid. How's it been, Benjamin? Is the booth treating you well?

Benny: (swallows) Uh, y-yeah! It's uh...it's nice, I guess. M-Maybe a bit vacant but...nice.

Christine: ...Uh-huh. Well, anyway, I wanna talk to you about something. Recently one of our keepers just got transferred to work with Wedge-Tails back in Australia, so as of now, drum roll (rapidly taps her fingers on the table) we've got a zookeeper position open!

Benny's eyes widen while Jackie is surprised.

Jackie: (gasp) Really!?

The red ranger quickly stands up while embarrassingly speaking.

Benny: Uh, I-I appreciate the offer, really, I'm flattered, but t-the last time I even wore a raptor glove was when I was a teenager at most, I-I'm not—

Christine: Not to worry, it's just an offer. If accepted, you'd of course go through the necessary training, and we can handle things ourselves, so an extra keeper isn't a necessity.

Jackie: Sounds perfect! He'll think about it for a bit.

Benny: Y-Yes! What she said. That. PLEASE.

Christine: Say no more. If you like the idea, don't hesitate to holler out for us at the dome.

She then walks back over to her lunch table with the other keepers as Benny tries to return to his lunch.

Benny: Right, uh, let's finish up.

He's about to take a bite out of the last big piece of his food, but Jackie stops his hand before he can put it in his mouth.

Jackie: You. Me. Later. We're getting you this offer by the end of the week.

She says this with a determined smile as Benny sits frozen and a little nervous.
