Disclaimer: I do not own power rangers
A/N: My friend and I are challenging each other to write original stories, but then she gave me a prompt that screamed 'Power Rangers'. The prompt was Peer Pressure, and I've been wanting to write some Jungle Fury. The title is a song from the cartoon 'Prince of Egypt'.
Theo glared at Casey, "I hate you."
Casey rolled his eyes, "It's not like I tied you up and forced you."
"It was your idea," Theo pointed out.
"You asked for it," Casey replied.
"How?" Theo demanded in a whiney yet incredulous tone.
"You were the one who kept saying it wasn't fair I got to go," Casey replied as he stepped onto the forecourt of JKP. "I just invited you to come along. I did warn you."
Theo followed Casey miserably, "You didn't warn me about Conner and Nick."
"I didn't expect to see them," Casey replied, in the tone of one who has repeated himself more times than he really thought necessary.
"You didn't warn me about that stage at the Haven," Theo continued.
"I didn't think you'd be that kind of a drunk," Casey replied, "You, you aren't…" He paused, looking for a discreet way to say it as he opened the door and ushered Theo into the pizza parlor.
"Casey! Theo! Where on Earth have you been? RJ's been worried, you've missed work and," Fran stopped, staring at Theo, "Theo, what happened?"
Casey barely restrained a grin as the white haired, blue skinned, blue ranger tried to draw into himself even more. "We ran into a couple of friends," Casey said. "I'll check in with RJ and let Mack know he and Dax can go. Anything big go down?"
"No," Fran replied, "Dai Shi didn't attack or anything."
"Sweet," Casey grinned. He touched Fran's arm, "Sorry about the missing work thing. My friends decided we had to road trip and it sounded like this awesome idea so."
"Can we please," Theo interrupted, "tell this story some other time. Like when I don't look like a Smurf?"
"Theo!" Lily exclaimed, coming out of the kitchen at a near run, "Casey! You're back!"
Dom and RJ followed Lily in a cloud of flour, "Where have you been?" Dom asked.
"Can we tell this story later?" Theo said, "I need to take a shower." He pushed through the stunned group.
"Hey, Theo," Dom called, "you have something on your face."
Theo turned, and looked up enough for the distinctive cat whiskers to be visible, "Yes, Dom, I know, I look like a Smurf."
"Not exactly what he was talking about," Casey said. "I think Conner got creative with a magic marker."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Theo demanded.
"Um," Casey said, he looked at the ground.
"Casey," Theo growled.
"ImighthavehelpedhimandNick," Casey mumbled. He flinched as Theo snarled, "I was drunk, Theo! And we did warn you about going to sleep."
"I will have my revenge," Theo declared before storming into the kitchen.
"Casey," RJ began.
"I'm sorry, it's just, we ran into Conner and Nick while we were drunk and they were drunk and they said we should go see some friends and we did, and I didn't know it had been three days because we kept drinking and we decorated Theo at some point but I really don't remember much about that except…" Casey trailed off as Theo appeared at the kitchen door, shirtless, looking, if possible, even angrier than he had before. "Theo has a tail," he finished with a sigh.
