THE BATCAVE,  Adam was with Zara. It was early that Monday morning, the teens and Tia would bee off to school since their break was over. Zara was sitting at the computer chair pressing buttons, while Adam had his hands on the back of the chair as he watched the young girl try to break the zord codes. Zara took off her glasses and rubbed her eyes, groaning with exhaustion Adam looked at her.

"You okay?" Adam asks.

Zara nods, "Yeah its just- the fire walls for these zords are insane. Who made these?" Zara asks.

Adam rubbed the back of his neck, "It was designed by Tommy and I but his friend, Hayley used the morphing coding to bring them together." Adam said.

Zara turns to face him in the chair, "So Hayley must have put some defense walls up in case of unwanted guest. So assuming she had made a few fire walls, some of them are fake just for show." Zara said and returned to the computer.

Adam leaned forward, "How would you know?"

Zara grins, "Its what I would do. I mean its genius, to pretend there are more guards keeping you out of what is meant as a secret." Zara said.

Adam nods, "I mean that makes sense. Think you can unlock the codes?" He asks.

Zara put her glasses on, "Today? No. But I should have it soon, that's for sure." She said.

Adam smiles, "I don't care if its not today as long as we get it soon." He said.

Zara grins as she types again, "I think I should start charging for ranger mentors calling for me for help. I mean first its Zane and now its you, next think you know I'll be called by Kira or something." Zara said.

Adam chuckles, "Don't count on it. Kira does have Hayley close by then calling someone from Meadowedge."

Zara shrugs her shoulders, "Hey can't help a girl for trying."

IN THE halls of Clover Hill High, the four rangers were standing outside their music classroom. KZ noticed her boyfriend walking with Artie, she was watching the younger brother to her boyfriend and noticed how he held onto his right arm like he was protecting it. She wasn't sure but something about it made her think it was too familiar, but she was snapped out of it by Jenny nudging her.

"You okay?" Jenny whispered.

KZ nods, "Yeah just day dreaming. I guess." KZ said.

Jenny nods, "Okay."

Omar sees Violet heading off to her ASL class and waves at her, Violet blows a kiss at him and continues on to her class. Jared and Artie fist bump and then they separated in differently direction. As Jared reached his friends, they all head into Miss Moore's classroom. Where their music teacher had set up the chairs in a huge circle for their presentations of their music project.

Hunter rolls his eyes as he sits down, "I can't believe he have to present this."

Omar turns to Hunter, "Did you expect us not to?"

Hunter leaned back in his chair, "Maybe."

Jared grins, "Hunter, you didn't do the assignment did you?"

Hunter reached into his backpack and pulled out a water bottle, "I can make music with this?"

Jenny sighs, "Oh, wolf."

KZ smirks and shakes her head, "Such a musician."

Then the school bell rung, the class had started. Miss Moore had begun class with role call and then explaining the scoring for the assignment. She asked for volunteers to go first and the teacher's pet, Delilah, went first. She sung a song titled Brave by the artist Sara Bareilles. When she sung it sounded so professional. When she finished singing, she sat down and the class clapped for her.

 A few other kids went next, a soccer player using his soccer ball to create music as well as using a bottle full of sand. Then a glee club member singing Hello by Adele, which her being in the glee club kinda made it unfair since she was better than the brown noser who went first. After she finished, the class clapped and then Miss Moore stood.

"Okay, how about Jenny. You go next." Miss Moore said.

Jenny got pink, pink with nerves. She was shaking slightly but felt Hunter hold her hand, she turned to him and saw him smile. Jenny nods and stands up, Jenny stood in the middle like the others who had gone before them and so did Jared. Jared was playing the song for her with his guitar and pulled up a chair for her instead of using karaoke versions like the prior students.

When Jenny hears Jared begin to play after she gave him the okay, her nerves were still there so she closed her eyes.

"Put your make-up on Get your nails done Curl your hair Run the extra mile Keep it slim so they like you, do they like you?"

When her voice begun the room was dead silent. The stutter girl they knew was gone, and this beautiful singer was in front of them.

"Get your sexy on Don't be shy, girl Take it off This is what you want, to belong, so they like you Do you like you? You don't have to try so hard You don't have to, give it all away You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up You don't have to change a single thing"

KZ was so impressed, impressed on how far Jenny has come since she has first met the shy girl.

"You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try You don't have to try Mm, mm Get your shopping on, at the mall, max your credit cards You don't have to choose, buy it all, so they like you Do they like you? Wait a second, Why, should you care, what they think of you When you're all alone, by yourself, do you like you? Do you like you?"

Omar couldn't help but smile. It was literally beautiful to watch, and beautiful to hear.

"You don't have to try so hard You don't have to, give it all away You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up You don't have to change a single thing You don't have to try so hard You don't have to bend until you break You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up You don't have to change a single thing"

From where Jared sat, playing his guitar, he had a smile on his face. He was so proud of his cousin.

"You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try You don't have to try, try, try, try"

Jenny looked so comfortable as she sung her song in front of her class.

"You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try You don't have to try Mm, mm You don't have to try so hard You don't have to, give it all away You just have to get up, get up, get up, get up You don't have to change a single thing You don't have to try, try, try, try You don't have to try, try, try, try"

Hunter sat there, smiling at his girlfriend. He had fallen in love with the shy girl, but she has grown since then and now there is a beautiful butterfly.

"Take your make-up off Let your hair down Take a breath Look into the mirror, at yourself Don't you like you? 'Cause I like you"

After Jared stopped playing, and Jenny stopped singing the whole class began to clap. Jenny smiles and then turns to Jared, who stood up, she hugged her cousin tightly with a smile on her face. A genuine smile on her face.

Miss Moore smiles, "Okay why not KZ go next."

KZ shrugs, "Okay."

She had the music of the original song play as she stood in front of the entire class.

"You shout it out, But I can't hear a word you say I'm talking loud, not saying much I'm criticized but all your bullets ricochet You shoot me down, but I get up I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose Fire away, fire away Ricochet, you take your aim Fire away, fire away You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium"

Jenny was already smiling at the talent her best friend had. Jenny knew KZ would sing on her free time, but she didn't know how good KZ was.

"Cut me down But it's you who'll have further to fall Ghost town and haunted love Raise your voice, sticks and stones may break my bones I'm talking loud not saying much I'm bulletproof, nothing to lose Fire away, fire away Ricochet, you take your aim Fire away, fire away You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium I am titanium"

Both Hunter and Omar shared the same impressed smiles. Sure Hunter and KZ go back and forth, but he was really impressed. Omar, who use to have a crush on her, thought her singing was just amazing.

"Stone-heart, machine gun Firing at the ones who run Stone heart loves bulletproof glass You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium You shoot me down but I won't fall I am titanium I am titanium"

As she finished singing, Jared sat in awe. His girlfriend was amazing, better than amazing. She was just talented as all can be. When the music stopped, the classroom clapped for KZ. KZ took a bow with a smile on her face.

After KZ went, a kid playing the violin went followed by a student playing the piano. These students weren't singing, instead just bringing the feeling from the violin or piano.

After the kid with the piano ended Miss Moore stood, "How about Jared goes next."

Jared saw all eyes shift to him. Again, he may have improved on his whole social interaction since being a ranger but he did indeed have some issue with preforming alone. So Jared kept his head down and pulled his chair back to the center, he was tuning his guitar right for the song as the classroom slowly got quiet. However, as the kids thought he was just going to play his guitar that wasn't the case.

"I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive I'm just out to find The better part of me I'm more than a bird, I'm more than a plane I'm more than some pretty face beside a train It's not easy to be me"

This made the entire class and even Jared's own friends shocked by this.

"I wish that I could cry Fall upon my knees Find a way to lie 'Bout a home I'll never see It may sound absurd but don't be naive Even heroes have the right to bleed I may be disturbed but won't you concede Even heroes have the right to dream And it's not easy to be me"

KZ listened to her boyfriend, he was so soft as he sung. It wasn't the best singer today, but it was soft and even slightly quiet which made her and even the entire class listen.

"Up, up and away, away from me Well, it's alright You can all sleep sound tonight I'm not crazy or anything"

Jenny and Omar seemed the most shocked, they knew Jared could play the guitar but had no idea he had some kind of singing ability. The two exchanged looks before turning their attention back to their good friend.

"I can't stand to fly I'm not that naive Men weren't meant to ride With clouds between their knees I'm only a man in a silly red sheet Digging for kryptonite on this one way street Only a man in a funny red sheet Looking for special things inside of me Inside of me, inside of me"

Hunter seemed a bit surprised by not really. He usually butt heads with Jared, but at this moment he kind of felt a common ground.

"I'm only a man in a silly red sheet Digging for kryptonite on this one way street Only a man in a funny red sheet Looking for special things inside of me Inside of me, inside of me I m only a man in a funny red sheet I m only a man looking for a dream I m only a man in a funny red sheet And it's not easy. It's not easy to be me."

Jared awkwardly stopped playing and he completely kept his head down as he moved his chair back. The whole class was shocked by the usual quiet kid singing, but they all clapped when Miss Moore started. Jared lifted his head upward, Omar put a hand on his shoulder. Jared saw Hunter give him thumbs up, Jenny was smiling, and KZ held onto Jared's hand.

"Who wants to go next?" Miss Moore asks.

Hunter raised his hand, "I'll go next."

The class seemed shocked including Miss Moore, "Okay."

Hunter stands and nudged Jared, "I'm gonna need that guitar skill of yours."

Jared nods, "Sure."

Jared moves his chair back and Hunter leans down to whisper the song into Jared's ear. Jared nods and smiles faintly while returning a simple "yes"  that was only heard by Hunter. Hunter nods with a smile on his face and waited for Jared to get himself ready, then when the music played the class seemed a bit unfamiliar with the song.

"All day staring at the ceiling Making friends with shadows on my wall All night hearing voices telling me That I should get some sleep Because tomorrow might be good for something Hold on Feeling like I'm headed for a breakdown And I don't know why"

This made the class just as shocked as they were when Jared sung. Sure Hunter wasn't going to win any singing competitions, but he was at least trying. And he didn't sound half bad.

"But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be, me"

Jenny was so shocked, but she didn't feel like she wasn't surprised. There were things that she didn't know about her boyfriend, and this might have just been one of those things now out in the open for the two of them. Jenny had a genuine smile on her face as she listens to her boyfriend sings.

"I'm talking to myself in public Dodging glances on the train And I know, I know they've all been talking about me I can hear them whisper And it makes me think there must be something wrong with me Out of all the hours thinking Somehow I've lost my mind"

KZ had a smile on her face. Sure she picks on Hunter, just the same as he does to her, but at this moment KZ felt like she was seeing a different side of Hunter.

"But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be"

Omar had a smile on his face. The two guys didn't get along at first, heck they were banter more than often but not as often as Hunter and Jared, though this was impressive to Omar. Omar sat in his chair and listened to his friend sing.

"I've been talking in my sleep Pretty soon they'll come to get me Yeah, they're taking me away But I'm not crazy, I'm just a little unwell I know right now you can't tell But stay awhile and maybe then you'll see A different side of me I'm not crazy, I'm just a little impaired I know right now you don't care But soon enough you're gonna think of me And how I used to be Hey, how I used to be How I used to be Well, I'm just a little unwell How I used to be How I used to be I'm just a little unwell"

After Hunter finished the entire class begun to clap. Jared stood up and turned to Hunter, he held his hand out to the guy. Hunter turned to Jared and held a smile on his face as he shook his friend's hand. Jared and Hunter returned to their seats. Miss Moore had a few other kids perform and then Miss Moore looked at her list of students as she marked them off.

"Omar, why not go next." Miss Moore suggested.

Omar shrugs, "Okay."

Omar got up in front of the class, he was going to sing. Which was a shocker for the rest of the class, mostly Jared who knows Omar the longest out of everyone in the room.

"I know you've got a strong heart It's written in the stars Behind the castle walls You've hid your light But when you let the past go Your story unfolds Look out your window Into the night"

The class was impressed. His voice was wonderful, slightly better than both Jared and Hunter.

"The darkness can be such a lonely place on your own I'll be your compass so you'll never feel alone Don't wait for the world to be ready Who says you can't explore? Who says you can't explore? Don't wait for the world to be ready Find what you're looking for Find what you're looking for"

Jared sat in awe, his best friend was good. He was beyond good, he was talented.

"Are the monsters in your head now? Stare them all down If they come back around You'll be alright And when the journey gets tough Just know that you're enough You're like a warrior Keep up the fight The darkness can be such a lonely place on your own I'll be your compass so you'll never feel alone Don't wait for the world to be ready Who says you can't explore? Who says you can't explore? Don't wait for the world to be ready Find what you're looking for Find what you're looking for"

Jenny and KZ exchanged looks and then turned to Omar, he sounded so sweet which was a different side of him. The more laid back and fun going guy sounded sweet and open.

"Don't, don't, don't wait Don't you wait, no Don't, don't, don't wait Don't, don't, don't wait Don't you wait, no Don't, don't, don't wait"

Hunter seemed the most shocked, well besides Jared of course. Hunter would mess with Omar just as much as he would with KZ but this was odd, Hunter seemed to found some respect for Omar.

"Don't wait for the world to be ready Who says you can't explore? Don't wait for the world to be ready Find what you're looking for Find what you're looking for Don't wait for the world to be ready Who says you can't explore? Don't wait for the world to be ready Find what you're looking for Find what you're looking for"

When Omar finished singing the entire class clapped. Then the moment in the spot light ended when the bell rung.

"Well, I guess we'll finish the rest tomorrow. Good job to those who performed." Miss Moore said.

---

THE RANGERS stood outside of Miss Moore's classroom, they hadn't uttered a word since before class. They weren't uncomfortable, they just didn't know what to say after that class period. So, Jared being the leader of the team looked up and coughed to gain everyone's attention.

"Um- I think we should take today as a lesson," Jared started, "That we're all changing."

Jenny nods with a smile, "I'm not a shy girl with a stutter."

Hunter holds Jenny's hand, "I'm not a lone wolf looking for trouble." He said.

KZ smiles as she stares at Jared, "I don't have to be by myself all the time." She said.

Omar grins, "I'm not a clown." Omar said.

Jared nods at his friends, "And I don't have to beat myself down. Everything is okay, and everything will be. I have such faith in our team of misfits, that we'll defeat anything thrown at us. We'll come out victorious." Jared said.

Hunter lightly shoved Jared back, "Okay mighty leader, don't get all sappy on us." Hunter said.

Jared chuckles, "You're right."

Omar then nudges them when the bell rang, "Well let's get to lunch."

Jenny nods, "Yeah finding a table will be hard." She said.

The five teens walked down the hallway, and as they head toward the exit someone was watching them. Leaning against her door frame was Tia, she had a smile on her face and her arms crossed on her chest.

She got her lesson across to the rangers and she was glad about it, she shakes her head and walked back to her classroom. She filed some papers in a folder and then turned to a photograph on her desk, she picks it up and smiles.

This photograph was taken back at graduation. In it had her, Alex, Carson, Monica, Rena, and Zane in their cap and gown but also had Zara, Tim, Liz, and Jayden. Tia held her smile and then turned her head to the door.

"These kids are ready," Tia mutters.
