Over-Compensation.

"How dare you speak such blasphemy?" Arlana said incredulously to her friend Monica. What did Monica say that was so blasphemous to warrant a fiery response from her fiery red-head friend while the two were strolling through the park one day, in the merry, merry month of May?

"I don't see the difference between the Super Sentai and the Power Rangers."

Did I forget to mention to mention Arlana was a nerd while Monica was not? Oh. My bad.

"Maybe they're similar if you look at the big picture, but each Power Ranger teams has subtle differences that combined turn them into a completely different team from their corresponding Sentai brethren." Arlana said passionately.

"Please." Monica said, running her hands through her short light brown hair in a bob cut. "Other than the fact one team speaks in Japanese and can successfully cuss out Godzilla, there are no differences. Put the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger together, and you would not be able to tell them apart."

Arlana stopped, holding her head in pain. Monica realized this and stopped with her, offering her a drink of water.

"Monica, you do not want to put the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger together." Arlana said after she took a sip. "I hung out with both of them together once. It did not end well."

With that, Arlana and Monica sat on a bench, where Arlana told the tale of when the two teams hung out together. While she does that, I will do the same. We could just listen in on Arlana, but I want to write in 3rd person. My fanfiction, my rules.

It was at Ernie's café, where both teams of heroes, in their transformed state, were sitting at an outdoor table when Arlana came. One member of the Zyurangers wasn't there, and the others knew exactly where he was. They were currently watching it, with the same fascination one would observe a car accident.

Tiger Ranger, ie Boi (the Yellow Zyuranger), was about to use Geki's (Tyranno Ranger/Red Zyuranger) motorcycle to jump 24 school buses on fire. It was a stupid stunt that was bound to end with the most epic of fails. The other Zyurangers were already in a state of pre-faceplamed.

"Boo yeah!" Boi shouted as he gunned the engine and flew off the ramp. He didn't past the 3rd bus as the motorcycle crashed and busted both itself and the bus. Boi was transformed and walked away with barely a scratch and barely a shred of self-respect. Arlana and her 11 super-powered buddies were in full face palm.

Boi didn't dwell on that long as a very pretty girl was on a nearby bench. He sat himself next to her and swept her in his arms. The woman, named Jennifer, didn't know what to say as Boi stroke her hair and back. He was about to whisper sweet nothings in the woman's ear when…

WHACK! went the Power Axe on Boi's head. The wielder, Kimberly/the Pink Ranger, grabbed Boi by the scruff of his neck and dragged him back to the table.

"You are an embarrassment to your teammates and us." Kimberly hissed. "Why are you always a macho, he-man punk when we hang out together?"

"I… am… not… a… girl." Boi said viciously. Turning to his counterpart seated across from him, he added "Wear a freakin skirt."

"For the last time, their mentor Zordon though girls shouldn't always be depicted as wearing skirts. He, Alpha 5, and the Rangers have told us this a million times." Goushi/Mammoth Ranger (Black Zyuranger) said, his tone showing that he alone had explained this to Boi a trillion times. Just then, Jennifer came up to our merry band of heroes and fan. She tapped the shoulder of the yellow ranger she knew was with her a few moments before.

"Excuse me." Jennifer said softly, nervously. "Would you… would you… Would like to repeat what you did with neither of us wearing anything?"

The helmets hid the looks of pure shock on every Ranger's face while Arlana's was in full view. Boi nodded his head yes, too shocked to speak. He got up to leave with her.

"Sweet, I get to sleep with Trini." Jennifer said.

In less time than it takes to fart, Boi curled up into a ball, crying and muttering "I'm a he-man, macho punk" over and over. Jennifer turned to the other Rangers and Arlana.

"That wasn't Trini?" Jennifer asked, shocked.

"Why are you surprised?" Arlana asked. "There're two yellow Rangers here and, no offense to you guys, but they kinda look alike when transformed. You thought she was Boi?"

"No, I thought that was Aisha." Jennifer said.

"Nope, that's Trini." Arlana said.

"Actually, I am Aisha." Aisha said.

… And that is how one is made to look like an idiot.

"Wait a minute, wait a minute." Arlana said. "That's Jason."

The Red Ranger she indicated jerked his head to the identical Red Ranger three seats down, as the indicated Red was Geki.

"My bad." Arlana said, slightly perturbed. "But that is definitely Zack."

Zack got and acted like he was getting plenty of applause, with mock bowing and all that.

"And I would always recognized Kimberly's voice, so why's Aisha here?" Arlana finished as Zack sat down.

"Because she, Rocky, Adam, and Kat went to get our orders." Princess Mei, Ptera Ranger/Kimberly's counterpart, said. In what can be described as "epic perfect timing", Trini, Rocky, Adam, and Katherine came with trays of food, making three Red Rangers, three Black Rangers, two Pink Rangers, two Yellow Rangers and a big baby.

"Woah, woah, woah." Arlana said, now confused. "How can there be two Yellow, Red, Black, and Pink Power Rangers?" Adam, Rocky, Aisha, and Kat took their Power Coins out of their Morphers and showed Arlana.

"Frog, Ape, Bear, and Crane." Arlana said as she looked at each coin with a realization. "They're the Ninja Coins." she said, feeling like a fool. All the Rangers nodded yes.

"Last question: why are you all transformed?"

"The gag wouldn't have worked otherwise." Boi said, lifting his head from his somber fetal position.

…

"People mistake you for a girl." Arlana said.

And Boi stayed in that position for the rest of the day.

"And that is why you don't mix the Mighty Morphin Power Rangers and the Kyoryu Sentai Zyuranger together." Arlana said to finish the story. As she expected, Monica was visibly disturbed by this. She then thought something over and asked Arlana this.

"Make the gag work? Are we characters in a fanfiction?"

"Likely." Arlana said. "Seems to be a series meant to goof with the Power Rangers and Super Sentai."

"Oh brother, I hope we're not a part of any more." Monica muttered.
