An idea I've had ever since I stumbled upon a discussion on RangerBoard.
What if Jason had been the new guy in town?
(First chapter is kinda short, but I'll try to make the others longer. Rating may change!)

Tommy took a breath and leapt in the air for another spin kick. He could hear his friends talking behind him. Today was the Martial Arts Expo. He'd been preparing for this for the last two weeks. Well, when they weren't out fighting Rita's monsters. The attacks had been somewhat more frequent as of late. Perhaps Rita was growing agitated at not having been able to defeat the Power Rangers yet. A private grin spread across his face. The Rangers could handle anything she threw at them.
He took a second to compose himself and leapt up once again for another spin kick. His match was up next. His opponent, a guy in green across the room, seemed pretty calm. He practiced a few hand movements, but that was all. Tommy knew he shouldn't underestimate his opponent, but he was confident in his skills and couldn't help thinking he would come out victorious in the end.
"Oh man, it's that guy," He heard his friend Zack say.
"Who's 'that guy'? Do you know him?" Trini asked curiously.
"I don't know his name, but I've seen him around before. He was working on his moves at the juice bar a few days ago. He's really good!" Zack assured them.
"Well how come we haven't seen him around school?" Kimberly asked as she eyed the new guy across from them.
"Dunno. Maybe he just moved here and hasn't registered yet?" Zack reasoned.
"That is a probable explanation," Billy concurred.
"Well he's definitely cute," Kimberly said quitely, sharing a smile with the taller girl in yellow beside her. She turned her head back, eyes riveted to the young man in green across from them.
Tommy looked back at his petite gymnast friend and shook his head with a good natured smile.
"He seems kind of familiar. I don't know what it is, but it's like I should know him somehow," Zack said quietly, a slight frown on his face.
"I know what you mean. It almost feels like I've met him before. But I'm sure this is the first time I've ever seen him," Kimberly agreed.
Tommy focused on the teenager in green across from him. He did seem somewhat familiar to him as well. He couldn't place it, but he felt like he knew that guy from somewhere. He shook his head. Well whoever he was, he had to be pretty good if Zack had said so. He concentrated on his moves a bit more. His match was moments away and he needed to clear his head.
He looked up as his name was called. The match was about to begin. The other boy was stepping forward and taking his place on the mats. The scoreboard finally lit up. His opponent's name was "Jason"…
