One day the rangers were walking to their picnic when they spotted a girl sitting by lake all by herself. She was wearing a purple tee-shirt, faded denim shorts, old white high tops, and a gold necklace.

"We have to go say high to her guy's."Adam said, the others agreed and they walked up the path and up to her.

"Hi."Came a voice behind her. She turned and got into fighting stance.

"Oh I'm sorry you startled me. I didn't hear coming." She apologized.

"Sorry we didn't mean to startle you." Adam apologized.

"I'm Adam, and these are my friends, Tommy, Kat, Tanya, Billy, and Rocky."

"Hi, it's nice to meet you, My name is Ashley." She said, with a smile that lit up her beautiful face.

"Would you like to join us on our picnic?"Adam asked smiling as well.

"That is if its okay with you guys?"Adam asked his friends. "Sure, we don't see why not."they approved,

"Would like to come and hang out with us?"Adam asked. "Sure, I'd love to." Ashley said her brown eyes sparkling. She's gorgeous Adam thought to himself. They walked a little further down the hill until they came to a picnic table.

"Hey, Ashley wanna play some b-ball." Tommy challenged.

"Is that a challenge Tommy?"Ashley asked a mischievous look on her face Adam smiled knowingly.

"Yes it was."Tommy answered the same look on his face.

"Why I would love to kick your butt Tommy."Ashley threatened.

"Great, you are on my team."Adam said.

"Cool." Ashley said running over to the courtship. They played for two and a half hour. and Adams' team beat the pants off of Tommy's.

"Yes"Ashley yelled highfiving Adam.

"All right Ashley" Adam highfiving back.

"Are we good or what?"Tanya asked mockingly.

"We're good"Adam & Ashley said in unison

"Where'd you learn to play like that?"Tommy asked running over to them.

"I was on the all-star team back in Oklahoma."Ashley said. Everybody started laughing except the other team, who at this point, were stunned.

"And you all knew this?" Rocky asked.

"Yep I told them in the huddle."Ashley said still laughing. By the time they were done laughing at their friend's faces their sides hurt.

"Come on lets something to eat before rocky eats it all." Adam teased. Everybody laughed at his joke and sat and to eat. Just as they sat down, some pack cogs appeared.

"Please proceed to the training room." Zordon instucted.they all went to the training room and sat down a window in front of them opened to revel a person clad in a purple suit much like theirs. Their mouths nearly hit the floor. A set of practice dummies charged at her they watched as she destroyed them all.
