Shimazu Returns (both parts)

A/N: And we're back! The outfit above is for the talent show! Enjoy!

"This better not be a surprise party. I despise surprise parties," Lothor grumbled as Choobo guided him along the ship.

"Don't look. You're not looking, are you?" Choobo rambled. Lothor slapped his hands away and broke out of Choobo's grasp. "Alright now."

"Sir, we made the adjustments, per your instructions," Zurgane reported. Lothor looked at the table where Motodrone sat up robotically.

"I am Motodrone. I am here to serve!" Motodrone pledged.

"Excellent," Lothor praised.

Storm Chargers:

Shane, Sofia, Tori, and Dustin sat on the couch waiting for their favorite show to appear on the television. The title 'Totally Talented' finally appeared on the screen.

"Here it comes," Shane said. He rubbed his hands together excitedly. "Oh man, I love this!"

Dustin began scatting along with the music of the show's theme. The others began dancing along too.

"Hi there, couch potatoes. Stu Starmaker here, and this is the place where dreams become reality... Totally Talented!" the man on the screen introduced. The rangers cheered softly. "Plenty of lucky contestants, all potential stars, but only one gets to go to Hollywood to fulfill their dream." Kelly turned the TV off as soon as he finished that sentence.

"Hey, what was that for?" Dustin asked.

"We were watching that," Shane protested.

The rangers let out a cacophony of protests and complaints to the store owner.

"You have to be kidding me. You don't watch this, do you?" Kelly sternly interrogated.

"But it's the first show that I've watched... ever," Sofia announced.

"This is an action sport shop. There will be no trash TV viewing here. Sorry," Kelly apologized and walked away. The four friends groaned in disappointment.

"Yo, what's up, guys?" Blake greeted. He looked at the blank TV and his smile faded. "Where's Stu?" Hunter appeared beside him and looked at where his brother was pointing.

"Denied," Shane replied in a mocking tone.

"Oh, well, I was sick of watching it anyway," Hunter accepted.

"Hey, you didn't just bag on Stu," Dustin remarked.

"I said I was sick of watching it, but not being on it," Hunter laughed as the brothers clapped hands.

"What's the deal?" Shane asked.

Blake pulled out a flyer with the show's title on it. "They're looking for future stars," he informed. "That's us. We try out next week."

"What do you guys do?" Dustin laughed.

"Hey. We do plenty," Blake replied.

"Yeah, but who'd want to watch it," Shane taunted. Dustin and Shane laughed and clapped hands.

"You know Shane? You have a great voice. You should try out," Tori suggested.

"What about you, Tori? You're a fierce dancer," Shane told her.

"And me? Sax- master extraordinaire," Dustin threw in.

"Hey, yo, yo, hold up a sec. You guys are cuttin' into our action here?" Blake accused.

"I gotta go practice. There's a jazz class at 7:00," Tori said.

"Hey, hold up! Can I get a lift?" Shane requested. The Red and Blue Rangers walked out the door.
