Disclaimer: Honestly I'm getting tired of saying this but I DO NOT OWN POWER RANGERS!
The air was crisp as the Mega Force team walked out of the school after another day of education and fun. Troy was finally starting to feel as if he belong there, and his friends were all happy to see that he was finally starting to come out of his shell, even if it was just a little bit at a time. Emma seemed to be particularly happy at that fact and smiled as the red ranger continued down the street to their favorite hangout in Hardwood County, Ernie's BrainFreeze. Looking around the rangers couldn't see that anything was wrong and decided that they should enjoy the peace that the Warstar Aliens were giving them. Walking along, Troy couldn't help but chuckle as Jake yet again struck out trying to get Gia to go on a date with him that weekend.
"Jake man you really need to stop trying so hard," Noah said as the girls walked passed them and into Ernie's, "honestly it's beginning to be embarrassing."
"Oh don't worry she's starting to wear down," Jake said smiling, "it's only a matter of time."
The red and blue ranger sighed as they followed their friend inside and over towards the girls at their table. Sitting down, Troy cold tell that they were talking about something exciting, well at least to them, and he couldn't help but wonder what it was that had them so happy. Thankfully, as if reading his mind, Noah manned up and asked them.
"So what's got you two excited?"
"Prom is coming up in about a month," Gia said smiling.
"Yeah haven't you guys seen the flyers?" Emma asked.
The boys looked at each other before shrugging and went to go get their drinks leaving the girls there making them frown.
"Well that was beautiful," Emma remarked.
"Boys are stupid, but trust me they'll come around," Gia said taking a sip of her drink, "I believe that by the end of the week Troy and Jake will be asking us to prom."
Meanwhile, on the Warstar Alien ship, Admiral Malkor was watching the rangers while an idea was starting to form in his mind. Turning to Vrak, he walked over to his second-in-command catching his attention.
"What is it Admiral?"
"I have a plan to defeat the rangers once and for all," Malkor said with a laugh.
"Oh, and what is that?" Vrak said interested.
"We send Lovebug down to Earth and cause two of the rangers to fall in love leaving them to distract the others while we exterminate the rest of the human race," Malkor explained.
"That is a great idea Admiral, I'll send Lovebug right away," Vrak said turning away from the Admiral, "Lovebug it's time to cause some trouble."
A monster that looked along the lines of a ladybug then walked out into the light to revile itself to its superiors. It was half red with black spots and half black with red spots on its shell and its arms formed two claws that looked deadly sharp to touch.
"What is it that you require of me?" Lovebug asked looking at Vrak.
"Go to Earth and cause the rangers to fall in love, their teenage hormones will take over their mind and they'll be too distracted to protect their precious Earth."
Lovebug nodded and vanished leaving the two alone and making Admiral Malkor wonder how Vrak knew about the human's hormones like that.
"Vrak how do you know about these…hormones?"
"As I have said before, I wished to study the humans, and I have," Vrak said looking at the Admiral, "and through that study I have learned much about humans."
The rangers were enjoying themselves and drinking their smoothies when the familiar sound of their morphers going off graced their ears. Looking around, the rangers ran out of the building and Troy pulled his morpher out to answer the call.
"What's up Gosei?"
"Rangers, a new monster has appeared downtown, you must stop it," Gosei said over the commlink.
"We're on it Gosei," Troy said turning the other, "let's go guys."
The rangers ran downtown and when the monster came into sight they stopped and pulled out their morphers. Lovebug seemed to sense that the rangers were there cause he then turned around and started to size them up.
"You're the rangers, I thought you'd be taller."
"You're going down bug," Jake said pointing at Lovebug.
"Yeah no one's going to harm our planet."
"Rangers let's do it," Troy said as they summoned their cards.
"It's morphing, GO GO MEGA FORCE!"
"MEGA FORCE, BLACK!"
"MEGA FORCE, BLUE!"
MEGA FORCE, YELLOW!"
"MEGA FORCE, PINK!"
"MEGA FORCE, RED!"
"EARTHS DEFENDERS NEVER SURRENDER!"
"Loogies, ATTACK!"
The rangers ran forward and started their fight against the Loogies while Lovebug watched the rangers to see who its target would be. They all seemed really strong and he had to make sure that the rangers he chose would deal a massive blow to the whole team's strength. Noticing that the red and black ranger were managing to fight off a big group of Loogies by themselves, he figured that he found his targets and got to work with his boss's plan. Walking through the group of Loogies he attacked Troy, who managed to dodge the attack, before turning and attacking Jake also.
"Alright you wanna fight then let's fight," Jake challenged as he and Troy attacked Lovebug.
The three started their fight and Lovebug was managing to hold his own against the two while the others keep getting attacked by Loogies. Summoning his dragon sword, Troy attacked Lovebug and managed to hit him leaving an opening for Jake to use his snake axe to hopefully finish him off. Laughing, Lovebug started to charge up some energy around his claws and fired it towards the two, hitting them and sending them flying backwards.
"Well that's that," Lovebug taunted, "Loogies we're out of here."
With that Lovebug and the Loogies all vanished, leaving the rangers there to demorph and wonder what the heck was going on. Running over to Troy and Jake, Emma and Gia helped them up while they demorphed and looked at the others.
"What happened? Where's the alien?" Troy asked standing up.
"He's gone Troy, he got away," Emma explained.
Looking over at Jake and Gia, Troy couldn't help but to suddenly feel attracted to the yellow ranger while Jake looked at Emma and felt attracted to her.
"Wow…I never noticed how cute you are Gia," Troy said catching them off guard.
"Emma have you always styled your hair like that?" Jake asked confusing the pink ranger.
"Um…what's going on here?" Gia asked confused, "I thought Jake was interested in me?"
"He is but…this is weird come on guys let's get to the computer lab I can run some test there," Noah said, "Let's go."
The rangers followed the blue ranger towards the school so that they could get to the computer lab, well Emma and Gia were following Noah, Troy and Jake were following the girls. But looking back at the red and black rangers the girls could tell that it was going to be a long and tiresome trail.
