Even though I do not own the Power Rangers, let the chaos begin!

And no, there is no slash. And yes, this is in a separate AU than my 'fluff' stories. Okay, now the yellow dude wicked-ness start! That time I meant it.

Chapter One: Beyond Bored

"Dude, I am so bored," stated Waldo "Dustin" Brooks, the Yellow Ninja Ranger, flopped down in a yellow beanbag. Sprawled out on the red couch the only other male Earth-bound Yellow Ranger- Charlie "Chip" Thorn of Mystic Force- agreed.

"Me too."

"Then go do something," yelled Kelly Holloway from Storm Chargers' counter. The two dudes were hanging out in a corner of the motocross store, as they had been all day. Both were wearing yellow T-shirts and jeans.

"We need something to do," Dustin agreed, blowing up at his dark brown bangs. Chip studied the freckles on his forearm.

"But what? Christmas ended weeks ago."

"Yeah… and no monsters have been attacking."

"So true."

"Maybe we could TP all the headquarters again," mused the elder Yellow.

"Nah… that's our Halloween prank."

"Intergalactic fireworks display?"

"Power Rangers Day celebration."

"Go back in time?"

"Did that for last year's April Fools Day…"

"Road trip?"

"We did that our first summer, seeing all the Power Ranger tourist sites."

"Dude…"

"Wicked…"

For a moment both were contented with reminiscing. Then they got back to work.

"We could go down to the Rock Podium for a while?" Chip suggested. Kelly, who was also a redhead, commented, "Yeah, go bug Toby for a while instead of me."

Dustin just glowered mildly at his girlfriend. Then he got an idea.

"Hey!"

"What?" Chip asked.

"We have girlfriends, my fellow yellow fellow, but I know someone who doesn't! And with Valentine's Day in a month, now is the perfect time to play matchmaker!"

"Maybe two people as happy as me and Vida?" Chip asked. "Wicked idea, fellow yellow fellow!"

"Thank you, now let's go!"

Dustin ninja-streaked while Chip used his lightning speed to zoom off. Kelly stared after the two yellow blurs.

"What have I done?"

Literally a minute later Dustin led Chip down into Ninja Ops. Entering the main room, Dustin gestured towards Cameron Watanabe, the Green Samurai Ranger, who was absorbed at his computer consul. Chip looked at his best dude friend askance.

"Cam?"

The serious-minded young man with silky black hair, almond eyes framed by wire frame eyes, and tawny skin was dressed in a green turtleneck sweater and black slacks. He was also completely lost in his study on the morphing grid and lots of other high tech stuff that would go over most other geniuses' heads. May the Power protect the world when he, Billy Cranston, Udonna, Kat Manx, and Dr. K decided to come up with a plan. Scratch that- protect the universes.

"And did you have a plan on how to hook up Cam? Because let's face it, it's usually not a good idea to mix an untainted civilian with a Power Ranger. I mean, most people he couldn't tell a tenth of the stuff he does."

"I know that," Dustin nodded. "Come on."

Quietly he led the way to Cam's room and looked meaningfully at Chip. Getting the message, Chip used his lightning magic to almost instantaneously deactivate all of Cam's security systems on his door. Only then could Dustin pick the lock.

"I've been in here a couple of times before," he whispered as they entered the room. "And each time I've noticed this on the dresser-"

'This' was a photo in a seashell decorated frame. The photo considered of a cheerful looking Cam standing next to an equally cheerful looking woman with pale blond hair in two braids. Chip recognized her at once.

"No way."

"Yes way!"

Hastily the two exited Cam's room, relocking the door and reactivating the security systems. Then Dustin led Chip to the room of the Blue Ninja Ranger. On the dresser was the same photo.

"Is this proof enough that we should play matchmaker?" frowned Chip as they left the room, heading for Dustin's. Dustin rolled his eyes.

"Dude, trust me, the photos are the tip of the iceberg! The two of them have crushes on each other, I know it. They're two of my closest friends… besides, they've always had a bit of a soft spot for each other. It's just been growing over the years," Dustin shrugged.

Chip thought it over while they finished the walk to Dustin's room. Once they were inside he nodded.

"They do seem most at ease when they're with each other."

"So… matchmaking is the name of the game?"

"Yep!"

For a minute the two Rangers stood there, beaming at one another in giddiness that they were no longer bored. Then Chip thought of something.

"Uh… Dustin?"

"Dude?"

"How exactly do you match-make?"

"Good question. I don't know."

The two male Yellows stood there, concerned.

Oh boy. The chaos really has begun. Just for reference, it's January 2010… so it's a couple of months ago our time.
