“Oh. Well, why don’t I meet you guys somewhere? I could show you around.” Tommy asked, hopefully. This would be a better scenario. He could see Kimberly but have a reason for not talking to her directly, yet. Size her up, gauge her reaction to him.

“And get out of talking to Kimberly alone? Forget it, man. Besides, after she shops, you know she’s going to come back with more shit to add to her six bags of luggage. Then she’ll want to shower and figure out what to wear before we come see you, and that’s gonna take at least another hour, bro. I’d say we’re looking at an early dinner, maybe 4-ish?” Jason quickly spewed. Between Tommy’s possibly objection and the static on his phone, Jason had to make plans fast.

Tommy laughed, Jason could see through him every time, even over the phone. “Fair enough, bro. We’ll plan for dinner around four. I’ll cook. Any dietary needs I should be considerate of?” Tommy asked as he finished tucking his shirt into his jeans.Lacie rolled her eyes. “Right….We’d better get a move on if we’re to make it back before the afternoon workout.

The three girls grabbed jackets and began walking toward the door. Kimberly motioned to their coach that they were heading out for lunch. He gave her an “okay” signal back. The street had become much busier since early that morning; cars and people were everywhere; the girls almost had to walk in a straight line because of all the people on the streets. Kimberly listened for the birds, but their chirps could barely be heard over the commotion on the streets. Her stomach growled and the dinging of the deli bell over head brought her back to the presentAngel sighed and willed the Line-of-sight teleportation system of his zord to beam him aboard. Settling into the cockpit, he removed his Power Coin from his belt and stretched it into an icicle-shaped crystal, then used the crystal to activate the Zord's motor functions.

         The Wolf zord let out a howl and pounced upon the monster, who put up an arm to defend itself. The monster let out a screech of pain and rage as the Wolf's teeth sank into it's flesh, but it couldn't shake off the Zord's metal grip.

         Kalen and Fox giggled from their vantage point atop one of the warehouses as the monster flailed his arm, the wolf flailing around with it.

         Angel wasn't bothered by the shaking, protected as he was by the stabilizers in the cockpit, but the giggling was nonetheless annoying.

         "Oh, very funny."
