BULK AND SKULL

BULK & SKULL

Page Fourteen

Skull takes off with the soda. Skull opens the can and it sprays on him. Kimberly, Trini, Billy, Zack, and Jason laugh. Skull chases Kimberly around the desk, preparing to spray the remains of the can on her. Instead it hits Bulk. Angry, Bulk throws a pie at Skull and it hits him in the face. Instead of being angry, Skull is happy that Bulk is sharing the pie that is better than his mom makes. Bulk finishes his lunch. He checks his watch and gets excited that it's time for his favorite cartoon. Bulk pulls a small TV set out of his detention survival kit. He plugs in the TV and sits to enjoy his cartoon. Skull joins him. Skull is blocking Bulk's view, so he tosses him onto the floor. Skull protests that he wants to see too. Skull makes his way back to Bulk and they both laugh at the cartoon. Within a few minutes, the cartoon is interrupted by a special report. The announcer states, the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers, who once fought on the side of justice as defenders of our planet, have joined with the forces of evil. Billy, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, Jason get up from the desks and walk over to the TV. Jason tells his friends, that's bogus. We...the Power Rangers would never join the forces of evil. The announcers continues, this tragic turn of events as the Power Rangers begin a terrifying attack on downtown Angel Grove moments ago. Footage of the attack is being shown. Kimberly can't believe her eyes. Trini adds, or my ears. The announcer states, this attack was totally unprovoked and took many by surprise. Billy states, but that's impossible. Jason tells his friends, the Power Rangers are being framed. Trini exchanges a concern look with Zack. Kimberly is stunned as the announcer states the Rangers are acting like the hoodlums they once put out of business. Indeed, a dark day for Angel Grove and the entire world. Skull and Bulk exclaim, alright! Billy, Zack, Trini, and Jason have gathered in a small group and talk in low voices. Kimberly has been keeping an eye out in the hallway. She tells her friends, Caplan just took off. Now's our chance to sneak out. Kimberly leaves the classroom. Jason suggests they follow her. Bulk tells them he wouldn't. She'll be back. Skull counts backwards and sure enough Mr. Caplan returns with Kimberly in tow. Mr. Caplan tells Kimberly to stay in. An embarrassed Kimberly joins her friends as Mr. Caplan leaves the classroom. Bulk remarks to Skull, amateurs. A voice comes over the loudspeaker to announce, due to the current emergency no one is allowed to leave the school premises until further notice. Have a nice day. Everyone is frustrated. The news bulletin comes back on. Billy, Zack, Trini, Kimberly, and Jason walk back over to the set. The announcer states, the magnitude of this crisis is increasing. As is the amount of destruction, which at this point, is impossible to estimate. All efforts to stop the Power Rangers have failed and the city, perhaps the world, is at their mercy. Jason, Trini, Zack, Billy, and Kimberly walk away to the other side of the room and speak in low voices once more. Within a few moments, Zack walks over to Bulk and Skull. He asks Skull if he wants to see a magic trick? Skull replies, sure. Bulk sarcastically remarks, yeah geek, show us something we haven't seen. Kimberly suggests the alphabet. Skull and Bulk make faces at Kimberly. Zack breaks it up. Zack tells them, I can make us disappear. Skull is in disbelief - no way! Zack instructs them that they have to cover their eyes. Jason adds and count backwards from ten. Bulk and Skull go along and start to cover up their eyes. Trini adds, now plug your ears with your fingers and then count backwards. Bulk and Skull nod their heads in agreement and proceed with the directions. Zack joins his friends and they morph and teleport out of the classroom. Skull struggles to count backwards. Bulk shouts out, hey don't forget to tell us when we can open them! After awhile, Bulk and Skull are still trying to count backwards. Bulk finally gives up and removes his blindfold. Bulk looks around and doesn't see the teens. He gets up from his desk as he can't believe they are gone. Skull is still counting when Bulk asks him, what did you do with them? Skull shouts, I can't hear you. Bulk removes Skull's blindfold and Skull notices the teens are gone. Bulk remarks, nothing gets past you. Come on, we got to find them. Skull is searching the cabinets in the classroom, trying to find the teens. On this third set of cabinets, Skull accidentally hits Bulk's head with the cabinet door. Skull comments, they're not in there either. Bulk and Skull continue to search the classroom for the teens. Skull gets an idea. Why don't we turn those goody-two shoes in? Bulk likes the idea and they step out of the classroom and spot Mr. Caplan staring cautiously at the water fountain. Bulk yells, Mr. Caplan! Those goody-goods split! Mr. Caplan is skeptical. Skull tells him, scouts honor. Please go in and check. In the classroom, Billy, Kimberly, Trini, Zack, and Jason have all teleported in. They quickly scramble to get to their seats and look like they have been working. Out in the hall, Mr. Caplan decides to look, but warns Bulk and Skull that if they are in there, you guys will be doing detention at age fifty! Skull doesn't care, what's another two years. Mr. Caplan walks into the classroom and sees the teens sitting at their desks. Bulk and Skull follow Mr. Caplan in and they are confused by what they see. Bulk asks them, how did you do that? Zack replies, it's magic. Kimberly adds, with mirrors like this one. The bell rings. Jason, Kimberly, Billy, Trini, and Zack start to gather their things. Mr. Caplan tells them, he hopes they all learned a lesson. With a chuckle, Jason replies, we sure did. Mr. Caplan faces Bulk and Skull and tells them he will see them tomorrow. They wave him away. As the teens file past them, they try to get them to tell them how they did it. But they get no answers. After the teens leave, Bulk and Skull look at each other and shrug.
