A taxi cab drives down the road, past the tall trees and gas station nearby. The cab drives down the road and turns left to the road leading to the front of the Angel Grove Airport. The cab slows down and parks near the sidewalk, beside a bench. Seated on the bench is ZACK TAYLOR - 28 years old, African-American and with black hair. Zack is wearing an open black jacket over his white T-shirt, denim jeans and sneakers with black shoelaces. Zack picks up his suitcase from the sidewalk and rises up from the bench. Zack walks down to the taxi cab and sees the taxi driver, WINSTON - mid-30s with blond hair.

WINSTON: "You the guy I'm picking up?"

ZACK: "Yeah, I'm running late. Can you get me down to the Angel Grove Juice Bar, please?"

WINSTON: "Sure thing. Hop in."

Zack opens the back door of the cab and gets inside, setting his suitcase down on the empty seat beside him. Zack closes the door and he fastens his seat belt.

WINSTON: "Hope you got something to read. It's a long drive."

Zack looks at the cab driver, a little confused by what he's said.

ZACK: "What? It's just ten minutes from here."

WINSTON: "You've been away for quite a while, haven't you? The Juice Bar moved and had a reopening in the new Angel Grove Plaza two months ago."

Zack shakes his head and sits back to relax. He heaves a sigh.

ZACK: "Sounds like a lot has changed since I've been gone."

Winston starts up the taxi and drives it down the road, pulling it out of the airport.


The taxi cab slows down and parks before the center of the new Angel Grove Plaza. The wide, long Juice Bar and Diner stands at the eastern edge of the center, which has several large trees behind it. The back door opens and Zack gets out of the taxi cab. Zack takes out his suitcase, he sets it on the sidewalk and he shuts the cab door. Zack turns and he stares at the new, noticeably larger new Juice Bar. The design of it is identical to the original Gym and Juice Bar, even the sign. The only real difference is the name had been changed from Youth Center Gym and Juice Bar to Juice Bar and Diner. Zack smiles and he shakes his head.

ZACK: "Well, what's old is new again, I guess."

Zack turns to the taxi and he hands a handful of dollar bills to Winston.

ZACK: "Thanks for the lift down here, Winston."

WINSTON: "No problem. You need a lift, you know the number."

ZACK: "Sure thing. Thanks."

Winston waves and turns, driving away down the road. Zack picks up his suitcase, he walks down the sidewalk and to the Juice Bar's entry doors.

ZACK: "I hope I'm not too late to meet up with them."


The front doors to the Juice Bar open and Zack walks inside. Zack looks ahead in surprise at the interiors - the bar, the tables, the chairs, the wallpaper, it was all identical to the old Juice Bar. The only difference were the tables filled with seated customers on the ground floor where the workout equipment and mats had been. Zack is unable to suppress his smile as he takes in the view. He was starting to feel like a teenager again being in the new Juice Bar.

ZACK: "Wow. Looks just like the old bar, but bigger."

Zack looks around the room, taking in all of the sights. As he looks over at the bar, he gets a bigger smile on his face when he spots one of his oldest friends seated there.

ZACK: "Kim!"

KIMBERLY ANN HART - 29 years old with long brunette hair sits on a stool at the bar, wearing an open purple jacket over her black T-shirt, purple pants and black sneakers with purple laces. Kimberly turns her head to Zack after he called her name and she smiles excitedly from ear to ear. Zack sets down his suitcase by the bar as she rises up from her seat. Kimberly walks over to Zack and she hugs him, thrilled to see her old friend again.

ZACK: "It's good to see you. It's been a long time."

KIMBERLY: "Too long. I've missed you."

Zack ends the hug and looks at Kimberly.

ZACK: "I missed you, too. I meant to come by sooner. I've just been busy with the studio in Washington."

KIMBERLY: "I know. Who knew you'd go from the Peace Conference to running your own dance studio?"

Zack smiles at Kimberly. He'd had a lot of success with his dance studio he'd run over the past three years.

ZACK: "Look who's talking, Miss Former Pan-Global Games champ. How do you like your new job?"

KIMBERLY: "Things are going fine, thanks. I'm now the main gymnastics teacher at the Fitness Center here in the Plaza."

Kimberly turns to the doorway and she smiles at what she sees.

KIMBERLY: "On the subject, there's someone I'd like you to meet. He's the new head teacher of the martial arts division of the Fitness Center."

ZACK: "Oh, yeah? Who's that?"

Zack turns around and JASON LEE SCOTT - 29 years old with dark brown hair - walks into the room, dressed in a white T-shirt under an unbuttoned red long-sleeved shirt, black pants and black sneakers with red laces. His physique is muscular and athletically fit. Jason walks over to Zack, unable to hide his wide smile at the sight of his old friend. Zack returns the smile, excited to see his old friend again.

ZACK: (chuckles) "Jase! Good to see you, man!"

Zack shakes Jason's hand and then hugs him, patting Jason on the back. Jason ends the hug and he looks at his old friend.

JASON: "It's nice to see you back in town, Zack."

ZACK: "It'll be good to hang out with you guys again. Besides, I can hang with you and your fiancée."

Zack smiles and he turns around to Kimberly.

ZACK: "So, would you mind if I saw the ring?"

KIMBERLY: "Sure."

Kimberly holds out her hand and she shows Zack the gold engagement ring on her finger, with a fairly-fancy diamond on it. Zack smiles as he sees the ring. He couldn't believe Jason had picked out such a nice ring. He also couldn't believe the lady Jason was going to marry was the ex of one of his best friends.

ZACK: "You and Jase. I never thought I'd see the day, especially when I used to see you with Tommy."

KIMBERLY: "I know. But things had changed between us. I changed. We're still good friends, though. Besides, Tommy actually thinks we make a cute couple."

Zack looks around for a moment, smirking.

ZACK: "Speaking of which, where are Dr. and Mrs. Oliver, anyway? When are they coming by?"

JASON: "They're on their way over here. They'll be glad to see you again."

ZACK: "Kat's a nice lady, even if we only met three times. First at Trini's funeral, after her train derailed. I haven't seen them since their wedding. It was a nice reception."

JASON: "Yeah. It would've gone even better if Rocky didn't have the stomach flu and lose his lunch behind the table."

Kimberly smiles and she starts giggling. She couldn't believe she'd forgotten that had happened... but then, after she had actually seen it happen, it wasn't something you could really forget seeing.

KIMBERLY: "That's right. I forgot about that. Actually, I just heard from him yesterday. He's working as the fight choreographer with Adam for some new movie in Hong Kong, some kind of summer blockbuster. Never thought Rocky would be so successful as a stuntman. And Adam's got a dojo here in Angel Grove, about three blocks from here."

ZACK: "Yeah, I know. I heard from Tanya last week. She's over in New Jersey, working on a new song for her debut album."

Jason looks at the Juice Bar ahead, staring.

JASON: "It's weird how much it looks like the old bar, doesn't it?"

ZACK: "Yeah, I know. Where're the owners, anyway?"

KIMBERLY: "Bulk and Skull are out of town at a business meeting. They told us to tell you 'hi', by the way."

Kimberly notices Jason staring ahead at the Juice Bar. Jason smiles.

KIMBERLY: "What is it?"

JASON: "You remember, don't you? Nearly fifteen years ago."

Kimberly looks at the floor of the Juice Bar, past the tables of seated customers. She lets out a smile.

KIMBERLY: "I'll never forget it."


Jason thinks back, remembering his first time teleporting back in early September 1993, inside the original Gym and Juice Bar. There is an earthquake in progress and the people inside are running out of the Juice Bar. Jason, Kimberly, Zack are with their two friends, a beautiful Asian girl TRINI KWAN and the nerdy glasses-wearing BILLY CRANSTON. The five friends are 14 years old and they are standing in the center during the earthquake. As the last of the people leave the Juice Bar, Kimberly looks up as she finds she's frozen in place. She is unable to move, like her four friends.

KIMBERLY: "Oh, my gosh! What's happening?"

TRINI: "This is too weird!"

JASON: "Hold on!"

The five teenagers suddenly teleport away in streaks of energy - Jason's is red, Kimberly's pink, Zack's black, Trini's yellow and Billy's is blue.


The five teens suddenly teleport in, they fall and land on the floor of the Command Center. They stand up and they look around the interiors for the first time. Billy is the most excited by their new surroundings.

KIMBERLY: "This isn't exactly the mall, is it?"

BILLY: "This place is magnificent!"

JASON: "I don't get it. How did we end up here?"

TRINI: "I'd just like to know where 'here' is."

Just then, the robotic ALPHA 5 appears - with a red body with blue arms and legs, gloves, boots and with a dome-shaped head with a red visor. The teens don't notice Alpha's arrival as Billy goes to a control panel to start typing.

BILLY: "Well, maybe the answer's in these controls."

ALPHA 5: "No! No, don't touch that! Whoa! Whoa!"

Alpha 5 trips and falls, hitting the floor. The teens look over at Alpha in shock and Billy helps him stand.

BILLY: "Whoa!"

For a brief moment, the five stunned teenagers are seen from Alpha 5's robotic point of view.

BILLY: "A fully sentient, multi-functional automaton."

Once again from normal point of view, Alpha looks at the teens, turning his head from side to side.

BILLY: "I've never seen anything like it."

Billy follows Alpha 5's movements, staring at the robot in awe.

Suddenly, on the large plasma tube ahead, appears ZORDON, seeing only his bald head entirely in blue.

ZORDON: "Welcome, humans."

The others turn around and look up at Zordon, with Jason folding his arms over his chest.

TRINI: "Uh-oh."

JASON: "So who are you?"

KIMBERLY: "Like, what are you?"

ZORDON: "I am Zordon, an inter-dimensional being caught in a time warp."

ALPHA 5: "And my name is Alpha Five."

KIMBERLY: "Excuse me, but would, like, somebody come back to Earth and pick me up, because I am totally confused."

ZORDON: "It's quite simple, my dear. This planet is under attack and I have brought you here to save it."


Back in the Juice Bar, Jason shakes his head, snapped back to the present. He is seated at a table for six, with Kimberly and Zack seated at his right and left, respectively.

ZACK: "I remember everything like it was yesterday, man. Being the first one to go and calling Zordon a giant, floating head. It seemed so absurd at the time."

Kimberly smiles at Zack, while Jason takes a sip from his large cup of soda.

KIMBERLY: "We came around, though. Only Jason knew from the start we could do it. He was the last one to leave and the first to try and talk us into going back."

ZACK: "Things certainly changed from there. Tommy joining the team, Lord Zedd, the new Thunderzords. And that's all the recap of our times there before we left the team. Kim was there for a while after we left."

KIMBERLY: "Then I left for Florida to train for the Pan Global Games. And then Jason went back a while, on two different occasions."

JASON: "Yeah. It was a shame to see Billy leave, though."

ZACK: "I still can't believe he ended up on another planet."

Jason looks at the doorway and sees ETHAN KAYE - 28 years old, British and with dark brown hair - walk into the room. Ethan is wearing a T-shirt, blue jeans and sneakers. Jason looks over, noticing Ethan has just arrived, and he smiles at the sight of his new friend.

JASON: "Oh, good. Ethan's here."

ZACK: "Who?"

JASON: "That's Ethan Kaye. He works at the Fitness Center with us as a martial arts instructor."

Zack turns around, as Ethan walks over to their table.

ETHAN: "Hello, Jason. I hope I'm not late."

JASON: "No, of course not. You're just in time to meet one of my oldest friends - Zack Taylor."

Zack stands up and shakes Ethan's hand.

ZACK: "It's a pleasure to meet you, Ethan."

Ethan nods, ending the handshake.

ETHAN: "Likewise."

Ethan sits down on an empty seat, as Zack sits back down.

ETHAN: "So, what were you discussing?"

JASON: "We were just talking about some old memories when we were in high school."

ETHAN: "Yes, I remember you all were quite involved back then. You played sports, volunteered for food fairs and clean-up clubs, did school plays, found homes for animals..."

Ethan pauses for a second. He looks over at Jason.

ETHAN: "Come to think of it, you all were rather busy. When did you have time to study, let alone relax?"

Jason smiles at Ethan's comments. If his friend only knew just how busy they really were when they were teenagers...

JASON: (shrugs) "We found time. We were pretty busy in those days. Things kept coming up."

DR. TOMMY OLIVER - 29 years old with dark brown hair - walks to their table, wearing a jacket over his T-shirt, jeans and shoes with green laces. Walking with Tommy is KAT HILLARD, now Kat Oliver - 29 years old, Australian and with short blonde hair. Kat is wearing a pink jacket over her T-shirt, pink pants and sneakers. Tommy smiles at Zack, happy to see his old friend again.

TOMMY: "I see you guys have already started to catch up on the old days without us, huh?"

Zack looks over at Tommy and Kat as they walk in and he smiles at them.

ZACK: "Tommy!"

Zack stands up and walks to Tommy, shaking his hand.

ZACK: "It's been a while."

TOMMY: "Glad to see you back, buddy."

Zack ends the handshake and then he hugs Katherine.

ZACK: "It's good to see you too, Kat."

KAT: "Welcome back, Zackary."

Katherine kisses Zack's cheek and she ends the hug.

ZACK: "Well, now that you're here, let's get caught up."

Tommy sits on the vacant middle chair beside Ethan and Katherine sits next to Tommy.

ETHAN: "I heard two you were back in town. How was your trip?"

KAT: "We had a good vacation, thanks. We got back into town yesterday from London."

JASON: "Well, since we're all here, how about we order some dinner? I'm buying."

TOMMY: "Sounds good. Then we can discuss our plans for the week."
