***Walkway, outside Jason and Trini's houses***

***Angel Grove***

"Why are you so hysterical!" Jason shouted as he was nervously pacing back and forth, trying to remain calm.

"Because, she is not good enough for you!" Trini angrily responded as she was realizing that her words were not getting to him.

"You don't even know her that well!"

"I know enough ABOUT her! And you know how I feel about you dating her! She is just a bad influence!"

"Really? Didn't I say the same thing about Richie, but that didn't stop you from going out with him! How many times have I seen you coming home in 3 in the morning, in just the past few days? Huh?"

"That's different. Richie isn't a spoiled brat and doesn't treat everyone around him like garbage!"

"And Cassidy does?"

"To a large extend, yes! Can't you see that she is just playing nice in front of you?"

"Ugh..." Jason growled and sat on the nearby bench. "Trini..." he began calmly. "...why are you doing this? Why are we even having this argument?"

"I just want what is best for you." Trini softly responded and took a seat next to him. "Jason, you are my best friend... and I don't want to see someone like her break your heart." she said, holding his hand and looking him in the eyes. "Okay?"

He turned away to avoid contact for a few seconds and then looked at her again. "You are such a hypocrite." Jason said bitterly.

"What!" Trini stated in disbelief and arose from her seat.

"How many times did I say, I don't have a good feeling about Richie? And how many times did you began yelling at me for how 'it's not any of my business? How many?"

"Don't try changing the subject!"

"How many times, Trini? I counted seven!"

"You want to use that argument? Well, they are actually eight. And you were clearly wrong, because we've been happy together for almost two months!"

"Yes! And I had enough class to admit that I was wrong, after week one! That's because I saw that he was making you happy! Me and Cassidy have been going out for three weeks and are very happy, but your attitude has only gotten worse!"

"So, now you're saying that you can't stand me?"

"I didn't say that! But..." he reluctantly continued. "...why do you hate her so much? Why aren't you happy for me? Why?"

"Jason, please..." Trini held her hands together, practically begging him. "...please listen to me... I want you to be happy. I really am! I am pleased that you are happy. But not with her... she is a gold digger; an opportunist. She will break your heart and I know it."

"And what do you want me to do? Dump her?" Jason assertively asked. "Maybe I will do it."

"Jason..." Trini sighed in relief and went to give him a hug. "Thank you! Thank you so much..."

"But only if you dump Richie."

"What!" she said, stopping in her tracks. "How can you ask me to do something like this! This is so selfish and..."

"Is it any different from what you are asking me to do?"

"I can't believe you would stood so low. I'm trying to help you!"

"I don't need help!" He responded, rudely.

"You know what? Fine! Do whatever you want! But don't come crying over to me if... when she disappoints you!" Trini told him and walked off for her date with Richie.

"I'm sure your boyfriend would love to hear, about your jealous rage." Jason commented, but she ignored him completely. "DAMN IT!" He growled and lashed out with his foot at the steel bench.

***Meanwhile at the Moon Palace***

"What's the matter, Red Ranger, do you feel you can't stand your friend anymore?" Lord Zedd delightfully commented and let out an evil laugh.

"You summoned me, my lord?" Said Goldar as he walked into the chamber and took a bow.

"Yes, Goldar. Have the planets aligned yet?"

"Not yet, my lord. But they will certainly be in position within a few days."

"Excellent! Once the planets align, the dimension portal will be open and we will send the Red Ranger there to spend the rest of eternity in suffering!" He said with great pleasure. "One way or another, Jason will soon be gone forever!"
