“What’s going on?” Kira asked, looking back to the chairs. Several of the chairs were knocked over. Rocky and Jason were on their backs, while Trini and Aisha were standing over them yelling at them very much in the same manner that Kira had yelled at Tommy in the hallway. The only difference was that both girls seemed to want to do physical damage to the former red rangers, and Billy and Adam were standing behind them, gripping them by the arms tightly to prevent said damage.

“Rocky and Jason made some stupid remarks about red rangers being better than all the others, and the girls took it personally,” Zack replied, glancing back at them. Kimberly had gotten between both groups now and was attempting to aid Adam and Billy in keeping both former yellows away from Jason and Rocky. “You didn’t do anything screwy to them when you tried to kill them earlier?” he directed at Tommy.“No!” Jason half-shouted. “No more going back to the hotel! Ever! You won’t come back! I know you!” As if to support his claim, the dog sat down on Trini’s foot.

“Whipped,” Tommy muttered with a grin. Zack suppressed a laugh.

Trini gave Kimberly a mischievous smile. “Okay, I’ll stay here.”

“Aw, come on,” Kimberly whined. “I never get to see you.” Trini gave her a significant look and mouthed “I’ll see you tonight.” Kimberly frowned for a moment, puzzling over what this meant, then wrinkled her nose and let out a small “Ew!”

Catching on, Tommy turned to Billy. “Why don’t you come back with me and Zack?”“Really?” Kim asked, turning around to face him. “The internet says you can’t tell until they reach about three to four years.”

“How old are those two?” Billy asked, coming closer to the holding tanks for the first time and bending down next to Trini. The two fish were a good six inches long, maybe a bit longer, with large fans extending out another few inches.

“Just about two.” Kim said, measuring slime into the replacement water.

Billy stood up and stared at her. “They’re huge.” He said. “Fantails aren’t supposed to be big fish.”

Kim grinned. “Yeah, the owner of the aquarium store says I can have a job anytime I want it.”
