Chapter 16

Following her battle with the Griffin Pharaoh, Trini returned to the Command Center. Alpha 5 and Zordon got right to work on their analysis of the blue urn. As much as Trini wanted to stay and help, Zordon felt it was best for her to return to the Angel Grove Campground to ensure the scouts were safe.

Upon her arrival, she found that they had already packed up and returned to the city. She felt relieved that the scouts were out of harm’s way, but was also disappointed that she had missed her chance to lead them on the hike.

Her stomach grumbling with hunger, Trini decided to go to the Youth Center to get a bite to eat. As she scarfed down a veggie sandwich and an extra-large berry smoothie, she looked at the empty chairs around the table. She couldn’t recall ever feeling as alone as she did in that moment.

Ernie approached carrying a tray with a large ice cream sundae. “I don’t mean to nose into your business, but are you okay?”

Trini shrugged half-heartedly. “I’m just having a really tough day.”

“I’m betting it has to do with what happened up at the campground,” Ernie said. “It’s a good thing that Power Ranger showed up when she did, or who knows what might have happened.”

Trini looked up at Ernie, a little surprised. “News sure travels fast around here.”

“Even faster when the Power Rangers are involved,” Ernie said with a gleaming smile. “I don’t know who they are, but I do know they’re about the bravest bunch of heroes who have ever lived.”

Trini cracked a little smile. “You really think so?”

Ernie nodded an affirmative. “I know so. Everyone in Angel Grove would back me up on that. I hope those Rangers know how grateful we are for everything they do for us.”

Trini smiled a little brighter. This was exactly what she had needed to hear. “I have a feeling they do know. And you even helped me feel better about something. Thank you, Ernie.”

“Don’t exactly know what I did, but I’m sure glad I could help,” Ernie said with a proud grin. “Anyway, I need to deliver this ice cream sundae before it melts and I catch all heck from Ms. Gertrude.”

“You mean she’s here?” Trini looked back and saw Ms. Gertrude sitting at a table on the far end of the room. As usual, she was writing notes on her clipboard. “Ernie, would you mind if I delivered that sundae?”

Ernie shrugged. “Don’t see why not. And if you ever want a job waiting tables, you just let old Ernie know.” He handed the serving tray to Trini and strutted away.

Trini took a deep breath and began to walk over to Ms. Gertrude. In her mind, Trini could already hear Ms. Gertrude telling her that she failed the leadership exam and then proceeding to list every single thing she had done wrong.

Trini cleared her throat. “Excuse me, Ms. Gertrude. I have your sundae.”

Ms. Gertrude looked up, surprised to see Trini. “Ms.
