Parings: Many

Rating: T (for some language)

Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers, I just borrow them to play with them. Saban/Disney whomever, owns them.

Summary: A series of funny shorts depicting the rangers of the MMPR-Zeo era, plus the Dino Thunder team, and how they spend their Valentine's Day with their loved ones, or maybe not.

Author's Note: So this is my Valentine's Day story. Or maybe it's an anti-Valentine's Day story, I'm not sure. Either way, I hope you enjoy. Please no paring-bashings. I understand if you don't like a paring, but you don't have to be mean about it. There will be two parts/chapters to this story.


"Hey Dr. O, where are you going?" Ethan asked, looking up from where he and Conner were playing a video game in the newly rebuilt 'lair' underneath Tommy's Reefside home.

"Going to meet Hayley for dinner," Tommy replied, slipping on his sports coat.

"Oooh, a Valentine's day dinner huh, go Dr. O," Conner said with a smirk. "It's about time Hayley gave into you're charms."

"It's NOT a Valentine's Day dinner, we're just having dinner tonight, JUST a regular dinner, not a 'Valentine's dinner'" Tommy replied, air-quotes and all, giving Conner the glare of death he'd perfected in his evil ranger days. Unfortunately, Conner was resistance to it by now, since he had been getting it on almost a daily basis for the last two years.

"Riiiiight" Conner said with a knowing smirk. "That's why you are all done up, because it's just a 'regular dinner'," he laughed, mimicking Tommy's air-quotes.

Tommy just glared at him more, thinking to himself, I will not kill a fellow red ranger; I will not kill a fellow red ranger. "I want you guys gone by the time I get back, TONIGHT," he stressed the last part.

"Have fun on your date Dr. O," Ethan called out as Tommy walked up the stairs.

Tommy groaned quietly as he walked up the stairs, "I will not kill a blue ranger either," he mumbled to himself.


Trent walked down to the lair, to find Ethan and Conner still playing video games, "Hey guys," he said with a sigh, plopping down onto the couch next to them.

"Hey man, what's up?" Ethan said without looking away from the fighting game he was currently winning.

"Dude, its Valentine's Day, why aren't you with your girlfriend?" Conner asked, groaning as he was defeated, "Why do I even play with you dude? I always loose!" He grumbled to Ethan.

Trent sighed again, "Kira's hanging out with the other yellows, I think they are a bad influence on her. Especially Trini," he grumbled slightly before continuing, "Kira gave me this whole spiel about Valentine's Day being a 'commercial holiday' and she'd rather get flowers or a card from me on some random Tuesday than on a holiday where I'd have to get her something," he stopped and glared at both Conner and Ethan who were trying, but failing, to hold in their laughter. "What?!?" he exclaimed.

"Dude, she ditched you on Valentine's Day to be with the other yellows didn't she?" Conner asked between snickers.

"Yes!" Trent growled in frustration. "They are bad influences!! All three of them!"

"So, you're dateless on Valentine's Day, 'we'" he said motioning to Conner and himself, "are dateless, Dr. O is having a 'not-date' with Hayley, so what should we do?"

"Storm the yellows and get my girlfriend back," Trent suggested.

"Umm, you're not an evil ranger anymore Trent, remember that," Conner said patting Trent's shoulder.

"I was thinking along the lines of that action-flick marathon the Cineplex had going on today, ya know, the whole 'A Real Man's Valentine's Day' thing they were advertising," Ethan said raising an eyebrow at Trent.

"I'm in," Conner said with a laugh.

"Ditto," Trent said getting up off the couch, "I'll drive."


Rocky jumped over the back of the couch and landed next to Adam, "Hey man, why are you alone on Valentine's Day?" He asked, then scooted away as Adam shot a glare his way, "Oooh, Tanya ditched you huh?"

Adam nodded, "Yup, I'm assuming 'Sha did the same to you?"

Rocky nodded, "Yup, I was hoping at least ONE of the yellows had resisted Trini's grasp." He sighed, "This sucks! We should be with our girlfriends, showering them with chocolates and flowers, and getting laid for being so sweet!"

Adam laughed, "Rocky, I remember last year's Valentine's Day, you ate half the chocolates before Aisha even opened them, you forgot the flowers until the last second and ended up buying carnations, which you KNOW 'Sha is allergic too, and she spend the rest of the night sneezing and trying to kill you."

"I told you, I was hungry and I ONLY ate the chocolates I knew Aisha didn't like, and plus, the guy who sold me the flowers TOLD me they were roses! How was I supposed to know?" Rocky protested, punching Adam in the arm.

"Rocky! You were in botany classes all throughout high school, if you tried to pass that excuse onto 'Sha, no wonder she tried to kick your ass all over the apartment that night," Adam replied, rolling his eyes.

"Shut up man, if you're such a Romeo, why is Tanya off having a yellow pow-wow instead of being with you tonight," Rocky retorted, punching him again.

"Because Trini's got some special brainwashing powers we don't know about yet, and she's brainwashing our girlfriends into some evil feminist scheme," Adam grumbled good-naturedly.

"That's my wife you're talking about mister," an amused voice came from behind them.

Adam and Rocky both nearly jumped straight up off the couch, "Jesus Jason! Give us heart attacks why don't you?" Rocky grumbled, turning around to glare at him.

"You guys are too easy to scare man," Jason said with a laugh, "So, what's this about my wife having brainwashing powers?"

"You need to get your wife to stop giving our girlfriends ideas," Adam said giving him a glare of his own. "She's a bad influence man."

Jason laughed, "If I knew how to do that, don't you think I'd of done it by now? I'd like spend Valentine's Day with my wife too, ya know."

"So why aren't you?" Rocky asked, and upon seeing a blush creep up on Jason's cheeks, "What'd you do to her man? Spill," he said with a laugh.

"I pulled the whole, 'Me Tarzan, you Jane' thing on her last year," he mumbled, glaring at them when the both doubled over in laughter. "Shut up guys!" He grumbled at both of them.

"I can't help it!" Rocky crowed, "I can see it! I can see you doing that!"

Adam nodded, trying to keep his laughter in check, but failed to do so, "I can see it too Jason, sorry man," he apologized, his laughter getting the best of him.

"Screw you both," Jason said, though he was chuckling now too. "So, you guys wanna go grab a beer down at the bar, since we're officially women-less tonight?"

Rocky shrugged, "Why not? We can go to Brendan O'Neills, its still Happy Hour, they have four dollar bombs and 3 dollar pints, plus we can watch the games, LA and Sacramento are playing tonight."

"Dude, you stay away from the bombs tonight, I'm not carrying your sorry behind out to the car again," Adam said with a laugh as he stood up. "No sir-ree."

"Aww, come on man, that was ONE time," Rocky protested as he stood up as well and turned to Jason, "Irish car bombs are AWESOME, but they can mess up you real fast," Rocky said with a laugh.

Jason laughed, "I know man, I know. Anyway, let's get outta here, have some fun without our women."

"You're paying man, it's your fault we're without our women tonight," Adam said as he playfully pushed Jason out the door.

"Yah, what he said," Rocky chortled as he followed them out the door.


Author's Note2: Brendan O'Neill's is a REAL pub on Cleveland's Westside. Anybody in the area should check it out, they have GREAT food, and GREAT drinks.
