The Adventure Continues

Love at First Fight

"Silver Ranger, this is the Power Rangers, we need you to return to Planet Earth," Kendall said into a microphone. Her voice relayed over Sasha's computer and in turn fed into the satellite that broadcasted its frequency throughout Space.

"Resetting the satellite dishes to the next sector," Sasha said, punching in the second set of codes and aligning the satellites for another space quadrant. "And they're online now."

Adelaide looked away from Sasha and Kendall and focused her attention on the colouring book in front of her. It was a slow day at the Ranger base. The cafe wasn't open yet, neither was the museum, giving the Rangers the time they needed to trace and locate their elusive Silver Ranger.

"I would never have taken you for a colourist," Philip said, settling himself down beside Adelaide.

"I'm not," Adelaide replied, scribbling a section of the book in with a red pencil. "But I'm bored."

"Is that even possible?"

Adelaide giggled and looked up at him. "Yes, it is possible," she said. "I may be hyperactive at the best of times, but even I have an off day."

Philip smiled and kissed the side of her head.

"I thought you were busy today?"

"I was but there were a few cancellations."

"There. Done."

Adelaide and Philip looked up as Chase put the finishing touches on a rocket ship he had been painting. It was a present for Kaylee as it was their monthiversary today.

"'Kaylee, I'd fly to the moon for you'," Ivan read the plague and smiled. "I don't understand the phrase, but I'm sure it's a chivalrous gesture."

"I finish my rocket ship too," said Koda, wandering out of his cave.

Adelaide snorted as she looked at the caveman. The rocketship was glued to his hand, and he had pieces of it stuck in his hair.

Koda frowned as he compared his own rocket to Chase's. "Mine look funny," he said. "Maybe it missing pieces?"

"Yeah, I think I found some of those missing pieces," Tyler said, ripping out a piece of tubing, along with a bulk of Koda's hair.

"Ow!" the caveman whined.

Suddenly, Chase's watched beeped and he checked it. "Oh! I got to go," he said, putting down his paintbrush, picked up the rocketship along with his skateboard, and walked out of the lab. "See you later," he called before disappearing.

"Let's go get you a model that doesn't require glue," Riley said, patting Koda on the shoulder.

Adelaide giggled and turned back to her book. "This is why I'm not to use glue without supervision," she told Philip.

"I can imagine," Philip teased.

"I try not to," Adelaide said. "It's not a pretty image."

Philip smiled and kissed the side of her head again.

"Connect!" Shelby declared, adding a fourth yellow counter to the grid.

Adelaide groaned and dropped her head into her hands. "I hate this game!" she grumbled.

"You only hate it because you keep losing."

"It requires a lot of attention," Adelaide protested. "Do I look like someone who has a lot of attention to you? Why do you think Chase and I are always on the same team when we play games?"
