Mighty Morphin Power Rangers: The Robbie Chronicles: Origins

Episode 49: Return of an Old Friend

Mr. Kaplan: Welcome to parents day!

(We begin today as usual at the Youth Center. It's unusually crowded today however. With several adults surrounding each teenager with what appears to be a school wide event. Mr. Kaplan stands guard at the entrance welcoming everybody that enters.)

Mr. Kaplan: Welcome to parents day!

Mr. Cranston: Thank you.

"Oww!"

(Attracting a crowd by one of the center tables, Mr. Scott and Mr. Kwan engage in an arm wrestling contest that ends in a painful draw.)

Jason: Giving up, dad?

Trini: My dad always believes that physical and mental strength should go hand in hand.

Mr. Scott: Screw that. Mental strength is for wussies who can't get to the gym.

(Mr. Scott bullishly slams his elbow on the table for another round as his wife turns to Trini's mother.)

Mrs. Scott: I wonder where my son gets all his aggression from.

(The women share a chuckle at his expense, as do their kids. Jason's attention however shifts when Billy's father joins the crowd.)

Jason: Oh hey, Mr. Cranston! Where's Billy?

Mr. Cranston: Locked in his garage with some "new breakthrough" he refuses to tell me about. (Rolls eyes) You know how my son is when he's occupied with one of his projects.

(Both Jason and Trini nod in agreement. Since secretly helping the rangers escape the Island of Illusions and discovering his inner strength, Billy has shifted into overdrive, busting out new invention after new invention.)

"Ahaha. Say hello, dweebs."

Jason: ...

Trini: ...

(Skull passes by with his camcorder in hand filming anything and everything around him. He passes by Zack who is being tag teamed by his parents.)

Mrs. Taylor: Zackypoo, your underwear's showing...

Zack: (Sucks teeth) Mom... please don't call me--

Mr. Taylor: Pull up those pants, boy.

Zack: (Sighs) ...

Mrs. Taylor: Are you buying the right sizes Zack?

Zack: Yes mom. This style is in.

Mr. Taylor: Are clowns "in," boy? Cause you look like a clown.

Mrs. Taylor: I bought you a few pairs the other day. Do I need to start laying out your clothes again?

Zack: Mom...!

Skull: ...here we have the Zack man and his parents.

Mrs. Taylor: Oh, hello there...

Zack: (Steps in) Nope. Show's over.

(After Zack quickly nips that in the bud, Skull moves on. Back at the table, Trini turns to Jason with a wide, cheesy smile as they look over their parents having a good time.)

Jason: Yeah?

Trini: So...

Jason: So?

Trini: You're family seems to be doing okay?

(Finally understanding where she's getting at, Jason quietly nods.)

Jason: Yep. Tests came back negative.
