The next day, Jason decided to face his fears and call Kimberly.
"Hey sis!" Jason said as soon as she picked up the phone.
"Jason. Lee. Scott," the former pink ranger said, saying each name separately. "What. The. Hell."
"It's good to talk to you too," Jason said, cringing. "How's the training coming along? You know, I was watching the news this morning and they were talking about the next summer Olympic Games and-"
"You're a power ranger again?!" Kimberly interrupted him. "And you didn't tell me?!"
"Yeah, that's right," Jason said. "I didn't tell you, so who told you?"
"I kinda figured it out," Kimberly said, and Jason wondered why he could always tell when the female rangers were rolling their eyes when he couldn't see them. "I mean, I've only watched you fight every single day since we started hanging out at Ernie's."
"Ha ha," Jason said weakly. "Yeah, you're right."
"So…" Kimberly said conversationally, as if all of her anger had suddenly disappeared. "Black, huh? You know, Zack called me the other day wondering if I knew anything about that."
"Oh yeah, well I talked to him already, so it's all good. And it's not black, it's gold, so Zack doesn't have to worry about it."
Kimberly paused. "What do you mean you talked to him already?" Jason cringed again. Oops… "Wait, you called Zack and Trini before you called me?!"
"Don't worry Kimmy, I was just saving the best for last!"
"Yeah, sure you were," Kimberly said amused. "Alright whatever, it's casual. So, how is it?" she asked almost eagerly.
"Aw man, it's such an adrenaline rush, Kim," Jason explained. "It was like every nerve inside of me was getting poked and waking up, or something, you know what I mean?"
"Uh…no. But I'll pretend for your sake that you do," Kimberly joked. "So, Trini said you have something else you need to rant about?"
"Wait, you talked to Trini?"
"Yeah, the day I talked to Zack."
"Oh, right," Jason said sheepishly. "Anyway, you know the Zeo rangers?"
"Yeah…?"
"They have all of the Mighty Morphin' suits on display in their new power chamber."
"Huh?"
"The ranger suits we wore when there was still the Mighty Morphin' powers are on display in Zeo's new power chamber."
Kimberly didn't say anything for a moment.
"Kim? You still there?"
"They put our suits on display…" Kimberly said slowly. "Why? I mean…why?"
"I have no idea," Jason said, glad to find someone else who understood him. "And they just…stand there. All on their own! Zack's got this theory that there's someone inside them, but I think he was sleep deprived and possibly on a sugar high at the time."
"Probably," Kimberly muttered. "And they just stand there? All on their own? Like, without a mount or anything? On display?"
Jason nodded, then realized how stupid that was because she couldn't see him.
"Are you nodding at me?" Kimberly asked knowingly, after not receiving a reply. Before he could answer, a familiar six beep tone rang out from his wrist. Kimberly must have heard it through the phone, because she started saying good bye. "Never mind. Get going."
"Well, I'll call you later, okay?" Jason said.
"Awesome. Later Jase."
"'Bye Kimmy," he hung up the phone and ran a hand through his hair. "Well, I guess it's morphing time again."
