Chapter 1: Day of the Dino: Part 1

The loud ringing of an alarm clock going off barely fazed the lump on the bed. An arm creeped out of the covers to blindly search for the offending object and turned it off. After a moment of silence, the lump, almost asleep again, felt like it was being watched. Before it could react, the covers were ripped off and a figure landed on him.

Groaning in pain, Andy looked up to see Jenna smirking down at him, "Was that necessary?" He tried to pushing her off, but she just applied more weight.

"Of course it was." Zoey said, holding up his blanket, "Your alarm has been going off for an hour. It was really annoying."

Jenna finally got off of him and pulled him up, "Did you forget what today was?"

"I was trying."

"Come on Andy. You're the one who agreed to this. In order for us to start working with you on your Pai Zhuq training, you needed to be living with us and going to school at Reefside. Otherwise, you would need to actually live at the Academy."

He scratch his head, "Yeah, I didn't want to do that."

"Did you talk to your parents last night?" Zoey asked, sitting beside him.

"I did. They warned me to behave, follow the rules, and to stay out of trouble." He smirked, "They obviously don't know me very well."

"Apparently not." She nudged him before getting back up, "Up you go. We leave in forty-five minutes. I will drag you out in your underwear if you don't get dressed."

He looked up with wide eyes, knowing she would too, "I'm up. I'm going."

Laughing at him, the girls left him to get changed. Walking into the kitchen, they went to the counter to finish their breakfast smoothie bowls. When Andy walked in, fifteen minutes later, and frowned.

"You're complaining about me being up, but I don't see Tommy."

"What about me?" Andy looked around to see the person of topic walk in, ready for the day.

"How long have you been up?"

"Are you kidding?" Jenna laughed, "He's been awake since five."

"Are you serious?"

"Completely." Zoey handed her brother a protein shake, "You've spent the entire summer getting lazy Lightning Boy. You used to get up with us."

"That was when I was training. I haven't been doing early morning workouts since we defeated Lothor."

"Well, no time like the present to get back into it." Tommy tossed him a granola bar, "Eat up. I know what the girls have planned for you after school. You'll need the energy."

Groaning, he got himself some milk and ate the breakfast bar, "You two are planning on torturing me, aren't you?"

"Don't think of it as torture." Jenna said, innocently, "Think of it as 'retraining'." She smiled, "Relax. It's not going to hurt. It'll be good for you."

"Yeah, yeah, yeah."

"Ok. Enough of this. We've got to get going." Tommy grabbed his briefcase, "Are you going to the museum with me after school?"

"Probably not." Zoey grabbed her own shoulder bag, "We need to get started on his training, especially since we didn't do any over the summer."

"Not my fault." Andy complained as they walked out to the vehicles, "I had to go back to Angel Grove to explain why I was transferring to Reefside." He looked at Tommy, "Thanks for taking care of that, by the way."

"You're welcome."

"Between that, Ranger Week, and getting moved over here, we didn't have any time."

"I agree. It's been a pretty hectic summer. But we're here now, so no more slacking." Zoey got in her Jeep and looked at everyone, "And we're all to blame, so no pointing fingers."

Laughing, Tommy got into his own Jeep, "Well, good luck with that and I'll see you at the school. Try not to get lost."

Shaking her head at her brother, she turned to the others in her Jeep, "Are you ready?" At their nods, she put on her shades and turned on the ignition, "Let's go."

After getting to the school, the three walked into the front office to get signed in.

"Can I help you?" The receptionist asked, looking curious.

"I'm Andrew Park. I'm a transfer from Angel Grove."

"Ah, yes. I have your stuff right here." She reached over and grabbed a folder to pull out some papers, "Here is your schedule, your locker location and combination, and your supply list. You can get everything you need at the school store, including your books."

"Thank you." Taking his papers, he turned to the girls, "I'll see you later."

"Have fun." Zoey turned back to the receptionist, "I'm Zoey Oliver and this is Jenna Scott."

"Yes. Our new Teacher Assistants. Because of your dual majors, you'll be assigned to work with both the Science and History departments. Here's your packets with your schedules and the teacher's you'll be working with." She looked at Zoey, "Now, I know Dr. Oliver is your brother, so you need to expect a little backlash on that."

"You mean people are going to assume I only got the position because of my brother." She smiled, "Don't worry. I'm well aware of it, and I've prepared for it."

The girls said their thank you and walked out to find their classes. "Looks like I've got big brother for first period science." Zoey said, looking down at the list. "And a Mrs. Carver for last period History."

"I'm opposite. Mrs. Carver is first and Tommy last." Jenna looked up, "How do we not have anything in between?"

"Because you're Teacher's Assistants, not teachers." A voice behind them spoke. They turned around to see an older woman in a severe suit and clipboard, "Ladies. Welcome to Reefside. I'm Principal Randal, and I made your schedules."

Jenna reached out to shake her hand, "Please to meet you Principal Randal, I'm..."

"I know who you are, and it's insignificant. I have a high standard in regard to my teachers. You are only assistants. I expect you to uphold those same standards and behave yourselves. I may not be able to give you detention, since you're not students, but I can suspend you. Do not disappoint." She nodded once and walked away.

After a moment of silence, Zoey looked at her friend, "I just felt the temperature drop."

"That wasn't me!" Jenna defended.

"No, that was definitely her." The stared at each other and shuddered, "Scary."

1-2-3-4-5

After separating to find their respective classes, Zoey walked into the science lab and smiled at her brother. "Good morning."

"You're late." He looked her, crossing his arms.

"Sorry. Got stopped by the principal. She's kind of scary." The class snickered.

Tommy smiled, slightly, and gestured to the room, "Class, this is Zoey. She is going to be my Teacher Assistant for first period science." She waved, "There's a table next to my desk, that's where you and Jenna will work."

A blonde girl, who looked eerily like Marah, stood up, "Cassidy Cornell, reporter for our school. I have a few questions. How old are you? Where are you from? Who is Jenna?"

"Cassidy, enough. Take your seat, please. We need to get started."

The blonde huffed before sitting down. Zoey took her own seat next to Tommy's desk and looked around the room. She saw Andy in the back sitting next to a dark blonde in yellow. She smile over at him and pulled out her laptop. It was going to be an interesting year.

1-2-3-4-5

Andy was in the quad during their free class, practicing a kata his brother had taught him last month. The girls were right. So much had happened over the summer, and he had neglected his training. If he wanted to learn Pai Zhuq, he needed to focus. Unfortunately, he was so focused that he didn't see the principal until she was right in front of him.

"Mr. Park, I don't know how things worked in Angel Grove, but this is Reefside. And you need permission to practice martial arts of any kind on school grounds. Detention." She looked down, writing on her clipboard, ignoring his look of panic, "Now, follow me."

He signed and walked over to join his new lab partner Kira, and another guy in a soccer uniform. "I'm never going to hear the end of this." They didn't walk far before the sprinklers went off. Andy jumped off the path and out of the way of the water, but their principal, Kira, and the jock were not so lucky.

"Oh, you've got to be kidding me." The jock said, jumping back.

"This is just great," Kira muttered, trying to wipe the water off her guitar.

"Ethan James." The principal stated, looking at a young man, smiling, walking by under a blue umbrella. "I should have known."

After she caught him, she led all four teens back inside. "Sit!" She ordered, pointing to a bench the front office.

"Principal Randall, I'd like to mention the fact that there's absolutely no hard evidence linking me to that unfortunate sprinkler incident." Ethan said, pleading his case. Randall just glared at them, making everyone lean back in fear.

Dude, she's as scary as Lothor. Andy thought, freaking out.

"Save it for Judge Judy, Mr. James. The four of you have detention, for one week, starting today." She smiled at their looks of horror, "Now if there are no further questions..." they protested loudly, having plans. "I didn't think so!" Randall said and walked away.

"Ok, somebody seriously needs a hug," Kira growled.

"This is just great." Andy grumbled, "So much for staying out of trouble."

"Dude, Computer Club?" The jock asked, looking at Ethan with a raised eyebrow. The boy in blue just ignored him. "You're new, aren't you?" he asked, turning to Andy.

"Yeah. Transferred from Angel Grove." He leaned over and held out his hand, "Andrew Park. Please to meet you."

"Conner McKnight." He smirked, "Welcome to Reefside."

1-2-3-4-5

Zoey walked up to Jenna and Tommy as they were leaving his classroom, "And how was our first day as a teacher, big brother?"

"Illuminating." He hugged her, "Quite different from teaching martial arts."

Laughing, the girls nodded their heads in agreement. They saw Principal Randall coming towards them as they reached a set of stairs.

"Dr. Oliver, how was your first day?" She asked, walking up with them.

"The kids were great. No problem."

"Good." She smiled, "You're going to be seeing a lot more of them in detention."

The girls exchanged looks and smiled.

"You mind telling me what I did?" He asked, looking bemused.

"No, you're in charge of it today."

"No, actually, I have plans to go to a museum today outside of town."

"Perfect!" She encouraged, "Bring the little monsters with you. That should be sufficient torture for them." She brought them to a classroom where four students were leaning against the wall, waiting. "You've all met, I trust?" She look at him, "Well, enjoy your little outing," Randall smirked at the teens and walked off.

The girls were trying not to laugh, looking at the look of distress on Tommy's face. Zoey looked over and saw Andy looking miserable. "What did you do?"

Tommy looked up and shook his head, "Andy."

"What? It's not like I committed a crime."

"What happened?" Jenna asked, curious.

"I was practicing a kata in the quad. Apparently, you need permission to do so."

"Seriously?" Tommy asked, incredulous. He sighed, "Alright, well," He looked at the other three, "you guys like museums?" he asked.

"Looks like we're coming with you." Zoey smiled, "I don't think all four of them can fit in your Jeep." She grabbed Andy by the arm, "You're coming with us, Lightning Bug."

"Aw, man."

1-2-3-4-5

"I can't believe you got detention on the first day of school." Jenna laughed, looking at Andy in the back, "Raina is never going to let you live this down."

"Do you have to tell her?" He asked, pleading.

"Oh, we are so telling her." Zoey smirked, "I mean, come on. Do you not know us at all?"

"I didn't do anything wrong!" He threw up his hands in exasperation, "I wasn't bothering anyone. It was just a kata."

"Well, that's something." Jenna turned back around, "Relax. We're just messing with you."

"I know." He sighed, "What a way to start off the year."

1-2-3-4-5

Once at the museum, they exited the Jeeps and walked up to the doors.

"I am having major Shimazu flashbacks." Jenna muttered to Zoey and Andy. They shuddered, remember the Ancient Warlord. "Damn Wolfblades."

Laughing, they walked up towards the entrance, only to find that it was closed.

"That's weird." Doctor Oliver frowned.

"Oh, well, no museum for us," Conner shrugged, smiling.

"Great! Let's go home!" Kira nodded.

"Tell you what," Doctor Oliver, "why don't you guys have a look around the grounds. If you find anything prehistoric, I'll cancel detention for the rest of the week."

"Sweet!" Ethan smiled.

"I'm gonna see if I can find someone who can tell us when they're opening up," He looked at his sister, "Are you two gonna stay here, or go with them?"

"Do I look like a student who needs to get out of detention?" Zoey quirked a brow and turned to Andy, "You're up, Stinger-Boy." He sighed and walked off with the others.

"So let me get this straight. They have a club, just for computers?" They heard Conner ask Ethan as they left.

"Boys." Jenna shook her head. "What's going on? Why is this place closed?"

"Let's see if we can find out?" Tommy walked to the front door and noticed a sign on the glass, "In case of emergency, call Anton Mercer Industries."

"Anton Mercer?" Zoey asked, looking at her brother, "That's impossible, right? He disappeared on that island."

"This doesn't make any sense." He sighed, "Let's look around."

1-2-3-4-5

"Hey! Did you guys hear about the guy who was hiking up here and fell into a giant sinkhole?" Ethan asked, breaking the silence on the hike.

"Must have missed that one," Kira told him, sounding bored.

"Just a guess, but do you subscribe to all those urban legend web sites?" Andy asked.

"Wait, what?" Ethan grinned, "How did you know that?"

"I have a friend from Blue Bay Harbor who loves that stuff."

"Dude, you guys know this isn't computer club, right?" Conner smirked.

"Typical." Andy murmured to Kira, "Five dollars says he prefers girls to computers."

"You're on." She looked over, "It's his soccer ball."

"Oh, I can see you're too big and bad to surf the web." Ethan mocked, "Well, what do you do in your spare time?"

"Me? I go out with girls," Conner explained casually. "You know, they're the ones who smell really good, with the long hair and the make-up."

Andy held his hand out as the girl handed him his winnings.

"Oh, it's like that, is it?" Ethan stopped him.

"Yeah, it's like that." Conner said, stepping closer in a threatening manner.

"Whatever." Kira rolled her eyes and walked on.

"Can you two get anymore stereotypical?" Andy asked, shaking his head. He scoffed at them and started to follow Kira.

"All I'm trying to do is give you guys a heads up." Ethan called out. "Stuff happens out here. Just don't come crying to me when you fall into a giant sinkhole!" As soon as he said that the ground opened up and all four teens fell.

1-2-3-4-5

After walking around the building, and finding nothing, they went back to the front to look for the teens. Tommy stopped and looked around, "Where did—"

As he backed up, the girls noticed that the giant Tyrannosaurus statue was missing. "What in the name of Zordon is going on here?" Zoey threw up her hands, "Statues don't just disappear." At the looks the other two gave, she shrugged, "Here. It doesn't happen here."

Feeling something was wrong, they backed away some more, trying to locate where the feeling was originating from and what was causing it. Hearing a grumbling noise, they looked up to see the statue walking towards them.

"Oh, you have got to be kidding me!" Jenna exclaimed, not believing her eyes, "Really?"

Tommy stepped in front of the girls and the T-Rex leaned forward and growled at them. Tommy, being Tommy, did a tornado kick and flicked the dinosaur away from them.

"I think that just irritated it." Zoey pointed as the statue roared in anger. "Run?" They nodded and took off for Tommy's Jeep. Zoey looked at her own vehicle and muttered, "That thing better not step on it, or I'm going to be really pissed off."

As Tommy got in, he closed the door and hit the lock button, "Great. Yeah, lock the door, Tommy. Real good."

"You said it, not me." His sister smirked, "Now, move!" He fumbled with his keys for a moment and cranked the ignition. After putting it in reverse, he peeled out and took off.

"It's a good thing you were a race car driver," Jenna yelled from the back, "otherwise, I'd be really nervous right now."

"Not to mention a Turbo Ranger." Zoey yelled back, watching the dinosaur from the mirror.

"I'm trying to focus here!" He yelled, shifting gears.

1-2-3-4-5

When he fell through the hole, Andy was able to use his Ninja skills to stay standing. He helped Kira up and looked around to make sure the others were okay. "Everyone alright?"

"Oh, just dandy." Ethan grumbled, looking put out, "I tried to warn you, but no!"

"Alright." Conner said, holding up a hand, "You guys stay here where it's safe. I'll climb up and come back with help."

Andy looked up at the hole, skeptical. He knew he could have made it, using his Ninja Streak, but there was no way he was doing it in front of these guys. "Are you sure?"

"Yeah. It'll be fine." Conner waved him off and started to climb. He had just gotten a grip of the wall, when a chunk of it broke off under his hand, causing him to fall to the ground.

"Back already?" Ethan asked sarcastically, before they leaned down to help him up.

"Well, since we can't go up," Andy stepped forward, "then the best way out is through. Robert Frost." He started walking, ignoring the looks he was receiving.

1-2-3-4-5

As they were speeding down the road, Zoey looked back to see the T-Rex gaining on them, "Why does it feel like Jurassic Park all of a sudden?"

"Probably because of the giant dinosaur chasing us in a Jeep!" Jenna yelled, trying to hold on, "Wasn't there a Jeep in the movie?"

"Can we stop talking about movies?" Tommy yelled as he turned the wheel to make a curve, "I'm trying not to crash us here!"

"Tell that to your last race!" Zoey smirked, ignoring the glare her brother sent her.

1-2-3-4-5

Andy and Kira led the way through the tunnels, with Kira singing under her breath to distract her.

"Babe, would you keep it down? I'm trying to stay focused," Conner interrupted, walking pass them. Kira stopped and narrowed her eyes at him.

"Did you just call me babe?" Kira demanded, "Did he just call me babe?" She looked back at Ethan and Andy, who just put his hand on his head in resignation.

"I dunno, I wasn't listening!" Ethan shrugged. "I was still grooving to your tune."

She walked over to Conner, who had stopped to look around, and stared at him.

"What?" he asked, "Just chill out, why don't you?"

"Whoa!
