Nodoka slowly opened her eyes wondering what was going on. For a second, she thought that everything from receiving the lamp onwards was a dream. However, two things quickly dissuaded her of that. The first was that she was obviously not looking at her bedroom ceiling. The second reason was she suddenly heard Ranma cry out, "Mom! You're awake!"
The Saotome Matriarch immediately whipped her head around to see Ranma sitting next to her. She asked with wide eyes, "Ranma? Is it you? It is you! But then, how did I? Did it all?"
Ranma gave his mother his usual confident grin and said, "It's good to see ya too Mom." The young martial artist turn Power Ranger then sheepishly continued on, "Sorry 'bout pulling my gun on ya. I didn't know that ya would be coming here."
Despite all her confusion, Nodoka couldn't help herself and she pulled Ranma into a bear hug. She cried out, "Oh Ranma. It's so good to see you again after so many years my manly son. I tried finding you at the Tendos, but they send you were out on a quest for a way to defend Tokyo. I was grateful to hear about your efforts to be a man among men, but I was so looking forward to seeing you again. By the way, did you give the Tendos a pet panda as a betrothal gift?"
Ranma blinked his eyes wondering why he'd give pops as a betrothal gift. He wouldn't wish his father on anyone; well, maybe he would wish the old man on Kuno. Before Ranma could say anything his mother spoke up again. "Ranma? Where are we and why were you in that strange red uniform? Does it have anything to do with your quest?"
Luckily for Ranma, Zordon had given the new Zeo Ranger permission to fill Nodoka in on what was going on. The old wizard of Eltar figured that having Nodoka in the know would more than make up for any security hazards she might represent. She could cover for Ranma and any future rangers lending credence to cover stories. Nodoka continued to become prouder and prouder as she listened to Ranma explain things. After all, only a man who was truly a cut above all other men could even hope to become an elite defender of Earth and a royal bodyguard at the same time!
