"What's stumping you about deja vu?" Mateo asked, waiting for Lalah to share with the rest of the proverbial class.

"What's stumping you about deja vu?" Mateo asked, waiting for Lalah to share with the rest of the proverbial class.
"Hypothetically when one sees it all before, they feel like they've lived through the same day again. Having a intense sense of deja vu. Is there a word for this continuum?" Lalah explained in a casual manner.

"Deja vu..." Mateo lightly chuckled, hearing Lalah use the word to ask about finding the word for what she just described using that very word. "Or a time loop if you wanna keep it simple." Mateo responded. "Why do you ask?"

"Ah, time loop. I was wondering what that word was about." Lalah spoke in realization. "Anyway, I asked because you and Sensei have familiarity with the concept of time. I need answers regarding it. As for the notes I wrote, I put myself as an example for that study." She smiled a little at a thought until she sobered. "Can you two help me?"

"Sure, but to recycle a bit, what's stumping you about deja vu?" Mateo asked, waiting for Lalah to share with the rest of the proverbial class.

“Alright then." Lalah was internally grateful she didn't come off as distressed. While she had a basic understanding of deja vu, she felt that it became complex as she thought it would. "What would I do if I was trapped in a time loop? Are there any specific instructions in order to prevent it from repeating?" She began asking.

"You'd wait to see how the movie ends." Mateo smiled. "Sure, everyone experiences deja vu, but time loops are reserved for movies and TV shows.. and they each have their own way of doing things." Mateo finished.

"Wait and see how the movie ends." Lalah tilted her head in thought. "Is there a particular movie that involves with this by any chance?"

"You're on your own for that one. I know there are plenty, so I'm sure if you use search our database, you'll find one." Mateo responded while adjusting to get comfortable.

Lalah hid the disappointed expression right away. If she wanted to figure out the time loop she's in, she had to do it fast before Sensei called her to test out the Chrono Blaze Charger. "Then I'll do that. Thank you Mateo." She accepted the answer with a smile. With that said, she took her leave, heading back to the ship to scour the information about time loop.

As Leon got done with his workout, he looked over at Samara in the two piece and his face got beat red again. "Damn it, Leon keep it together..." Leon stated as he turned to hide his face.
Ledger looked over at Leon, seeing how red his face was. He looked toward Samara, putting two and two together and he smirked. "What's wrong, Leon? Never seen a girl before?" he asked with a grin.
Samara surfaced from the water, pushing her hair out of her face. She saw Lalah heading for hte ship, and she frowned softly. Swimming back to shore, she got to her feet and walked out of hte water, pushing her hair back before heading for the towel she'd laid out. Picking it up, she dried her face and torso, wrapping it around her wiast. "Where is she goin'?"

Seeing Lalah depart to study time loops left Mateo confused. "Wonder what's the rush?" The Red Ranger shrugged before going back to enjoying the sun.
"Everyone seems to be getting along. Why not join the fun?" Sensei asked the Red Ranger.
"Admiring the team I put together is fun. I know things were a little rocky to start but slowly they're getting used to each other and that'll help us in the long run. Besides, I need to wait until Leon's blushing goes down. Dude's face is as red as my helmet." Mateo said, sharing a laugh with Sensei.

Once inside Patricia, Lalah went straight to the archival room to read about time loop. With Mateo's answers coming out as vague, it's going to be more difficult to figure out. "I should've asked everyone else. They provide concrete answers instead of being cryptic. But if I do this, then they'll think I'm a lunatic." She sighed out of frustration.
As Lalah browsed through the data, she tried to recall what happened the first time. Beach, telling stories with Samara, Sensei asking her to test the morpher to the point she missed the call, which costed her friends' lives. Question was what to do?
Eventually she spotted the information she desperately needed. "That's it." She muttered, reading it thoroughly. "What I am going through is Groundhog Day, an easy term for time loop. In stories, they’re usually either bordered by a certain period of time, like one day, or by an event like the person trapped in the loop dying,” She read with a whisper. “Or, like, a combination of both. Like if I die before the day is up, it resets even though that day isn’t done.”
Lalah crossed her arms. Everything made sense. She was trapped in a time loop. The next thing she had to figure out was what was the cause of it? She should figure out how long she could survive without the loop resetting, and then figure out who did this to her. And then, preferably, get out of it before she died permanently. Until Sensei called her to test out the Chrono Blaze Charger, she had nothing else to do.
"What matters is I have the answers. I can't believe I entered this Groundhog Day." Lalah sighed aloud, staring up at the ceiling.

The remaining Rangers continued to enjoy the rest of the day peacefully, soaking up the sun and strengthening their bonds with one another. Once the day of fun was done, the Rangers were back on the Patricia. Once everyone was back on the ship and they were in the air, a small compartment opened up on Sensei's panel containing a new charger.
"Lalah, come here for a second." Sensei said. When Lalah did come over, the AI began to explain. "This is the Chrono Blaze Charger. We don't venture into many elemental Chargers but with Calen's forces, we believe that some extra fire power may come in handy. I'd like you to take this to the training deck to test it out."

After spending the entire time scouring ways to prevent the loop from repeating, Lalah heard the call from Sensei and with a sigh, stepped out from the archival room. As soon as she met up with Sensei, her expression grew grim as the AI introduced the Chrono Blaze Charger. She would've been excited but after last time, she's cautious to use it.
"Um, thank you, Sensei." Lalah said, trying to hide the uncertainty in her voice. "I'll...test it out."
