Life in Gray Lake

[PrezGAR]

Ryan: Karla? Spidra's girl? The Chief and I will be on it right away.

(Elsewhere...)

Zarcovian: You have no choice in this matter. You have been chosen.

<Tbc...>

[Rainbow Ranger]

Karla's mom: Thank you.

<And...>
Karla: I just want to get married. Not to your ruler, though.
<tbc>

[PrezGAR]

(Ryan hangs up, and rushes into Ben's office.)

Ryan: Ben, someone just grabbed Spidra's girl.
Ben: Let's roll.

(Elsewhere in Gray Lake...)

Zarcovian 1: You will change your mind once we are in the air.
Zarcovian 2: And since we are aides of the King, we have diplomatic immunity.

<tbc...>

[Rainbow Ranger]

Karla: I'll never change my mind. Spidra is the one I want to marry.
<tbc>

[PrezGAR]

Zarcovian 1: Inject her now.

(The second Zarcovian sticks a needle into Karla's arm. It will knock her out for twenty minutes, and when she wakes up, she will love the first man she sees.)

<tbc...>

[Rainbow Ranger]

(Karla falls unconcious)
<tbc>

[PrezGAR]

(The car speeds on to the airport. A Gray Lake patrol car starts following it. Ben is at the wheel.)

Zarcovian 1: Drive faster.

<Tbc...>

[PrezGAR]

(Ben and Ryan take a short cut cutting off the Zarcovian car.)

Ben: Release your prisoner. You are under arrest,
Zarcovian 1: We are employees of King Viktor of Zarcovia.
Ryan: Meaning?
Ben: Meaning they have diplomatic immunity. We cant arrest them.

<Tbc...>

(After a tense stand-off, in which Viktor's plane was not allowed to leave with Karla on board, the situation was resolved, peacefully. Karla and her mother are now living in the Lightspeed complex, next to Spidra's residence. A few weeks have passed. Saturday night in Gray Lake. Bob is in bed, wathcing a movie.)

Kat: The kids are all tucked in. Eliza wanted two stories tonight.
Bob: She'll outgrow needed a story soon enough.
Kat: What are you watching?
Bob: You should recognize it.
Kat: Your documentary. Look how young Justin was.
Bob: Yeah. And how beautiful you still are, 14 years and three kids later.
Kat: That jacket I'm wearing. You bought that for me when we were on our honeymoon. That was a pretty chilly day for Sydney in late June.
Bob: And thanks to filmmaking magic, no one realized you were pregnant with Alfred when we shot this.
Kat: I know.
Bob: My director's cut shows you in all your expectant mother glory. Not to mention you and me in Stretched Fury, all alone.
Kat: That was quite a night.
Bob: It certainly was.

(Sunday morning. Tommy has slept in.)

Tommy: Good morning.
Trini: Happy birthday, sleepy bead.
David: Happy birthday, Dad.
Tommy: Thanks, you two.

(Trini kisses Tommy.)

Tommy: So, I presume you've got everything planned for my party?
Trini: Yeah. Although, Tim, Kira, Bruce and Cassidy wont be able to stay that long.
Tommy: The TV station is running the telethon this year.
Trini: Yeah. And Tim and Kira are performing on it.
Tommy It's all for a good cause.

[Rainbow Ranger]

Spidra: I am glad you are back. Now, we can plan our wedding.
Karla: I need some time to recover, but I am ready.
<tbc>

[PrezGAR]

(Labor Day in Gray Lake. The Crowmeowmes are throwing a city-wide picnic in the park.)

Bruce: What's the matter, pumpkin?
Kitty: I'm worried about tomorrow.
Cassidy: Your first day of school. I've got your outfit all picked out.
Bruce: If you arent sure what kindergarten will be like, go ask Sam and Junior to tell you about it. After all, Junior just went through it, and he's getting ready for first grade.
Kitty: Ok, Daddy. I think they're on the see-saw.

(Nearby, on the lake, in a small boat...)

Willy: Alone at last.
Angela: The downside of you having such a big family.
Willy: I know.
Angela: So, how's college life so far?
Willy: It's not much different than high school. I'll probably have this done in another two years.
Angela: Just in time for me to start.
Willy: I can always take post graduate courses, work on a doctorate or something.
Angela: Anything so we can be together.
Willy: Yeah.

(Willy and Angela kiss. Brian watches from shore, wrapping his arm around Kim.)

Brian: They make a perfect couple. Just like you and me.
Kim: Yeah, they do.

(Friday morning in Gray Lake. Tyzonn and Vella's home.)

Tyzonn: I cant believe she's two already.
Vella: I'm just glad I dont have to go through the birthing cycle every year.
Tyzonn: At least she'll have a nice party.
Vella: Yes, she will. I just hope she doesnt have those terrible twos that Oliver and Ronny mentioned.
Tyzonn: Tella's Mercurian, things are different for us.
Vella: How true.

(Some decades later, post Venjix, in Crowmeowme Tower...)

Ronnie: Good morning, lover. Happy birthday.
Tella: You're always the first one to wish me that. And I wouldnt have it any other way.
Ronnie: So nice that Veronica is sleeping through the night now.
Tella: Not like Ree at that age.
Ronne: I know.

(Ronnie and Tella kiss, before they are interrupted by a baby's cry.)

Tella: I knew it was too good to last.

(While most of Gray Lake sleeps, a group of volunteers is hard at work, transforming GRay Lake Park into a memorial. Thousands of flags, one of each victim of the attacks ten years ago. In the center of it all, pictures of the World Trade Center and the Pentagon from before that tragic day ten years ago, and of a field in Pennsylvania, where a group of unlikely heroes fought back.)

<Tbc...>

[Rainbow Ranger]

<Elsewhere...>
Rainbow: Ten years...
Melissa: I know. I know.
Mary: I was so young. So young.
(Mary cries)
Rainbow: There, there. We were all changed.
(Rainbow begins to watch the 9/11 services in New York)
<tbc>

[Rainbow Ranger]

[PrezGAR]

(Oliver, Ronny and the boys return from a vacation.)

Brian: So, how was Florida?
Ronny: Hot.
Oliver: I think the boys had fun. We'll take them back when they're older. Ronald has a new favorite toy.

(Ronnie is holding a stuffed Owl, from Winniw The Pooh.)

Brian: What about Ty?
Oliver: He picked out a stuffed Stitch. It's upstairs in his bed. Of course, someone had to ride Test Track about a dozen times.
Ronny: You know I've got a need for speed. I also set a new record on the Tomorrowland speedway.
Oliver: If you take the family there, KK wil love the Wizarding Workd of Harry Potter. Nice tour of Hogwarts. She might buy her own robe and wand. I bought a wand, for my office at the library.Looks like Dumbledore's. We'll show the pictures to everyone later. We found somethings you might recognize.
Brian: Oh?

[Rainbow Ranger]

(Inspiration from recent WWE RAW)

<PRWF HQ, Locker Room>
Rainbow: I have called you all here today to ask for a vote of confidence as Commissioner. Should you vote "no confidence", Bill will take over as Commissioner.

Jason: I speak for all the Rangers, Commissioner. We know that you are busy, and have not run a card in a while, but we feel no reason to vote against your confidence.

Dark Spectre: The Evil that you have hired has also decided to vote for your confidence.

Melissa: I have spoken with the female Rangers. They also vote confidence.

Demetria: The PRWF referees see no reason to vote no confidence. You have our support.

Rainbow: So, other than not running cards, are there any problems?

Jason: None.

Rainbow: Please talk to me if there are. I will try to get back to making matches as soon as I can. Perhaps next week.
<tbc>

[Rainbow Ranger]

(More inspiration from recent events)
<PRWF HQ>
Melissa: I lost my key. I locked up the Diva's locker room, and now, I lost it.
Rainbow: You must have dropped it. Check from the locker room to here.
(Minutes later...)
Melissa: I checked. Nothing.
Rainbow: Someone may have found it. (he sighs) And I left my supplies in my office. Just great. I'll be back.
(Rainbow heads for his office)
Bill: Forgot your supplies?
Rainbow: Yeah.
Bill: Sandy will get a copy made for Melissa.
Rainbow: At least that's good.
(Rainbow opens the Commissioner's Office door, and grabs a small case)
Bill: See you after sunset tomorrow.
<tbc>

[PrezGAR]

(Alfred is in his room, working at his computer. Bob comes in.)

Bob: Doing your homework?
Alfred: No, already done with that. his is something for Willy.
Bob: What?
Alfred: He wants a sparring partner for his martial arts moves. Instead of a human opponent, I'm going to make him a robot one. I spent most of the weekend using my camcorder to get alot of his katas captured. Now I'm feeding the videos into the computer, so the robot can anaylze the moves.
Bob: Very creative. You're a chip off the old block.
Alfred: Thanks, Dad. I know this will take a while. Especially building the bot.
Bob: Back home, we have a saying. Indicia wasnt built in a cycle.
Alfred: Sort of like Rome wasnt built in a day.
Bob: Yeah. It took ten cycles to build Indicia, by the way.
Alfred: Five Earth years.

[Rainbow Ranger]

(OOC: This happened at work today.)

<PRWF HQ>
Rainbow: Looks like the HQ is decorated for Halloween.
(Rainbow walks along, and sees Bill and Sandy dressed in Spartans uniforms. He makes an obvious relationship)
Rainbow: Saturday Night Live, right?
(Bill nods. Rainbow notices a boom box)
Bill: Doing the whole thing later for some kids.
Rainbow: Break a leg.

(Rainbow watches as the skit goes off well)
