This is my first story! This idea came to me, because "Power Rangers" and "Sailor Moon" are two of my all-time favorite TV shows.
On a moonlit-evening in Angel Grove, during the Power Rangers Zeo era…
"By the power of the moon, I'll punish you… for being late!" joked Kimberly, causing Trini to laugh as Aisha, Kat, and Tanya, dashed into Ernie's Juice Bar.
"Nice one, Sailor Moon," remarked Aisha, as she and the other girls sat down. "You've conquered the world of cheesy jokes."
"Hey, don't make fun of Sailor Moon!" replied Kat. "We even got the anime series in Australia when I was growing up, and those five Sailor Scout girls were really strong superheroes."
"Kinda like us?" mused Aisha. "Except they were on time when meeting up with their friends?"
"What are you talking about?" replied Kimberly. "One of things Usagi, I mean, Sailor Moon was famous for was always running late."
"In that case, I'm on track to be a great superhero in your book!" exclaimed Tanya, getting a chuckle from the other girls.
"Are you really mad that we're late?" worried Kat.
"No, of course not! I'm so happy we're all here again in Angel Grove together, you can be as late as you want whenever you want," said Kimberly, giving Kat a hug. "I lucked out that the national gymnastics team decided to open their new training facility back in Angel Grove."
"Back in Angel Grove together, and the same age again," added Aisha, before looking at Tanya. "It was great helping out our family, but I'm miss you all, too."
"Do you ever miss being a superhero, you know, the opportunity to help humanity and save the world?" asked Tanya, who along with Kat, was still a current Power Ranger Zeo member.
"A little bit," answered Aisha, as Kimberly nodded in agreement.
"Not me," responded Trini firmly. "I still get to make a difference by helping with the peace conferences And that doesn't involve nearly as many sore muscles!"
"Maybe I'd miss it more… if we got to wear those cute outfits like the Sailor Scouts did!" mused Kimberly wistfully.
"Speaking of cute… look who is here!" exclaimed Kat, nudging Aisha, who immediately blushed as Rocky and the other boys walked into the rec center, waving to the girls before going over to the free weights to lift.
Aisha had always had a crush on her good-humored – and good-looking friend – Rocky. Never one shy to speak her mind, Aisha had been shy to share with Rocky her true feelings. It just had never seemed to be the right time.
"When are you going to finally tell Rocky you like him as more than friend?" asked Kimberly, putting her chin in her hand, and jokingly batting her eyelashes at Aisha. Kat and Tanya laughed, while nodding in agreement.
"Don't tease Aisha," responded Trini gently.
"Yes, thank you Trini!" interjected Aisha quickly.
"Yes thank you, Trini, for reminding us that YOU need to still tell Jason how you feel," said Kat, laughing and wagging her finger.
"Well, uhhh, I…" stammered Trini.
"Trini, there are so many great things about you: your calmness, your insights, your kindness," mused Tanya. "But unexpected bold moves is not one of them."
"That's a fair assessment of my character, Tanya," sighed Trini. "But not all of us can be as lucky in love as you."
"Who's in love?" piped in Adam as he walked over and put his arm around his girlfriend, Tanya.
The girls looked at each other in panic, wondering how much Adam and the other boys had heard as they started to join around the table. But luckily Kimberly's boyfriend, Tommy, and Kat's boyfriend, Billy, seemed too engaged to notice, while in the middle of their conversation about "optimal angles" for getting the most out of bench-pressing. And Rocky, Zack, and Jason were still out of earshot over by the free weights.
"In love?" repeated Tanya nervously, trying to detect if Adam had overheard about Trini's crush on Jason.
"Guess it's just me with you," replied Adam, kissing Tanya's cheek and causing the other girls to sigh wistfully.
"Or maybe my boyfriend with the dumbbells," joked Kimberly, as she and Tommy exchanged air-kisses.
"Or mine with his lab?" offered Kat, standing up and putting her arms around Billy, for whom she had realized her true feelings, paving the way for Tommy's reunion with Kimberly once the original pink ranger returned to Angel Grove.
"If it's love we're talking about, then I'm in love with Aisha!" said Rocky, as he squeezed himself in between her and Trini.
"For real?" asked Aisha in disbelief, as the other girls exchanged wide-eyed looks.
"Yeah, I love you for ordering his delicious blueberry smoothie – it's my favorite!" exclaimed Rocky before taking a sip, as Aisha and the rest of the girls let out a collective sigh and shook their heads.
"Of course, it's the food he loves, not me" muttered Aisha disappointedly under her breath. "Boys."
"You know me so well, Aisha," said Rocky affectionately, squeezing her shoulder and causing Aisha to snap out of her inner thoughts to blush.
"Just like Trini knows me," added Jason, as he at last joined the group at the table with Zack.
"There's no other peace conference delegate I would have rather spent the summer exploring Europe with," said Trini as he cheeks flushed. "Well except you Zack, but you had to come back to Angel Grove early for Angela's family reunion."
"When the girlfriend calls," said Zack smiling, thinking of his long-time significant other.
"What about when Zordon calls?" interjected Tommy, noticing their communicators.
Seeing the flashing light on his Zeo wrist communicator, Tommy lifted it closer to his face to speak to the leader and mentor of the Zeo Rangers. The remaining current and former rangers huddled around Tommy, to block out any noise from the communicator.
"We read you Zordon," replied Tommy, the Red Zeo Ranger.
"Rangers, there's been a disturbance in the power gird," the group heard Zordon say.
"What type of disturbance?" asked Rocky, the Blue Zeo Ranger.
"A hole has opened up in between the dimensions of space and time," replied Zordon.
"Ai, ai ai!" the group heard Alpha add worriedly.
"Stay calm, Alpha," encouraged Tanya, the Yellow Zeo Ranger.
"What happens when there is a hole in the space-time dimension?" asked Adam, the Green Zeo Ranger.
"Visitors from another dimension have traveled through to our world," explained Zordon. "Some are champions of good, like yourself. But others our evil, like the King Mondo and the Machine Empire. I can explain more after you all teleport to the Command Center. Are the former rangers with you as well? If so, please bring them, too."
"Yes, we're all here," responded Kat, the Pink Zeo Ranger. "We are on our way."
The group looked around at each other befuddled. While all the former rangers had seen Zordon since their return to Angel Grove, he had never asked for them to teleport to the Command Center in conjunction with a potential threat to Earth.
"Once a ranger," started Kimberly.
"Always a ranger," finished the entire group.
Making their way to the hallway, checking that no one was around, the group held onto each other as they teleported to the Command Center. Arriving inside the familiar chambers, the group noticed one strikingly unfamiliar addition. Five unfamiliar additions, to be exact, who stared back at the Power Ranger group just as bewildered.
The ranger boys looked at the five unknown individuals with confusion, but slowly, shocked recognition dawned over the rangers girls' faces as they observed the five, new girls in sailor suits… one golden blonde, one blue-haired, one dark brunette, one auburn-haired and one platinum blonde.
"Is THAT…." stuttered Kimberly.
"It CAN'T be!" exclaimed Kat, as Aisha, Tanya, and Trini looked on in disbelief.
"Rangers, meet Sailor Moon and the Scouts," replied Zordon. "To save their world and ours, the rangers will need to become Sailor Scouts… and the Sailor Scouts will need to become the Power Rangers Zeo."
Again my first chapter of my first story, what do y'all think so far? Would really love any feedback!
