I have no idea if I can do this but I'm doing my own kind of challenge.... kind of like the Romance Challenge except this one is for friends. :)
But I don't own Power Rangers or the song referenced at the end.
This one takes place between the episodes "Ranger Green" and "Ranger Red".
1: Anniversary
Dillon's day did not improve when he went down into the kitchen and Ziggy plopped a large yellow-iced cake in front of him seconds after he had sat down. He looked up at the cheerful Green Ranger.
"Ziggy, what is this?"
"It's a cake!" Ziggy shrugged happily. He was still holding the spatula he had used to ice the cake with. "Lemon with lemon icing. I thought you might like that."
Bemused, Scott asked as he entered the area, "I think Dillon is asking why you made him a cake."
The other three Rangers had been a lot nicer to Ziggy since the truth about why he had left Corinth had come out, so Flynn and Summer strolled over as well. With a roll of his eyes Ziggy exclaimed, "Don't tell me you all forgot!"
"Just because I have computer implants doesn't mean I have a computer's memory, Ziggy," Dillon commented, reaching out a finger to scoop up some icing. Ziggy smacked him on the hand with the spatula.
"Not yet, Dillon."
Rolling his eyes, Dillon resigned himself to licking off the icing the spatula had left behind on the back of his hand. Summer giggled slightly. Scott tried again.
"What's with the cake, Ziggy?"
"It's a celebration!" he replied, beaming. Having finished the icing Dillon said wryly, "A celebration of what, though?"
Ziggy looked around at his earnestly confused teammates.
"You mean you don't remember?" he asked, crestfallen. Dr. K. poked her head out of her lab.
"I believe Ranger Green is referring to the fact that it has been one month to the day since he and Ranger Black arrived in Corinth."
"Thank you!" Ziggy exhaled happily. "For that you get the first piece of cake."
"You eat cake? I thought you just blew out the candles," Dr. K. puzzled. Flynn turned to her.
"Where were you raised, doc? In a military think tank?"
"As a matter of fact, yes, I was," she retorted before retreating back into her lab. The five Rangers stared after her. Raising her eyebrows Summer sighed, "Well, that explains more than it doesn't."
Undeterred Ziggy had begun slicing the cake.
"Well, if she doesn't want any, you can have the first slice, Dillon. It's more our anniversary than anything because that was the day we met."
"You two have a weird friendship," Scott observed, but hung around for his slice of cake. Afterwards, as he and Ziggy ate up the rest of the cake Dillon pulled an envelope out of his Ranger jacket's pocket.
"Here."
Opening it, Ziggy found a colorful card inside. When he opened it, it started to play "It's Not Easy Being Green".
Ziggy smiled.
If you want more, review & tell me so!
