A sliver castle sat on top of the moon. This castle wasn't like most castles in fairy tales. It didn't have knights fighting for justice or a king and queen wanting to do good for a village of people. Instead, this was one creepy castle. It had bars on the windows, many dungeons, and a huge balcony that looked out upon an ocean of blackness. Shadows were always lurking around this place and evil schemes were always planned in this castle.

"Zeddy, I've got such a headache!" complained Rita Replusa as she walked into the throne room. "The rangers ruined our plans. We had the pink power coin and Kimberly. But, our plans fell through. Tommy rescued his pink princess like always. And Katherine betrayed us and stole the coin back."

Zedd was standing at the balcony looking out at the Earth. "Rita, my darling, where is lipstick we talked about?" he asked as his wife walked over to him. "I want to put in use."

"Finster, get in here now!" she demanded. A Scottish terrier in glasses and overalls walked into the room. He had a talent for sculpting and was always creating new monsters for Rita and Zedd. "Where's the lip stick?"

"Right here, my queen," Finster replied as he pulled a lip stick out of his pocket and handed it to Rita. "My queen, this is made from the Kimberly Queen Fern plant. It can only be destroyed if wiped off a surface-"

"-How does it work?" Rita interrupted. She opened the it and stared at the bright red lip stick.

"All you have to do is put the lip stick on and apply your lip prints to a handkerchief," Finster explained while Rita put the lip stick on. "Then you use your magic wand to make the lips come to life-"

"-what does it do? I want to use this against Tommy and Kimberly," she announced while looking through her telescope. "She's having a party and has just been asked to consider moving to Florida to be the Pan Global Games. I want to mess up her plans since her and the other rangers are always ruining our evil ideas."

"Once the lips come to life they will teleport down to earth and hide on surfaces. While it is hiding on surfaces, it has the power to change the color of its lip prints to avoid being noticed," Finster began as he watched Rita's kiss a handkerchief and she used her magic wand to bring them to life. "They will light up when Kimberly and Tommy kiss. Once they light up it will make Tommy confess that he doesn't want her to go to the Pan Global Games. Then they will both start to have bad luck. "

Bright rosy red lips appeared in the throne room. They looked like the Cheshire cat's smile, when the cat appeared out of nowhere. "I'm Hooker's Lips," said the pair of lips. "How may I be of service?"

"Good down to Earth and destroy the pink ranger's athletic dream," Rita instructed taking a seat on her throne. "And also cause trouble between her and the white ranger."

The youth center had gifts full of gifts on the table. A bright red banner reading "Congratulations Kimberly," was hanging in the middle of the room. Ernie had made his famous fruit punch a large cake decorated in pink. Kimberly sat at a table not saying anything. A lot of things were running through her mind. She had just been offered the chance of a life time to go to the Pan Global Games, which was something she had dreamed of since she was a child. But, she also really liked being a power ranger. "Hey, Beautiful," Tommy greeted as he walked over to her and they both shared a long kiss.

"This has been a dream since I was a little girl. But, when I became a power ranger, I had obligations. And one of those was to stand by you guys," she explained as he took a seat next to her. "Tommy, how do you feel about me going to the Pan Global Games?"

Both failed to notice the lip prints on the table light up. "Kim, the truth is I'd really miss you," he began gazing into her eyes. "I don't want to lose the girl that I love-"

"-Ms. Hart, I heard the whole conversation!" interrupted Coach Schmidt. Both turned around and saw he was standing behind them. "I should have known that you were leaving without a good explanation! If you'd do this to me now, you'd do the same thing at my gymnastics facility. I'm afraid you don't have what it takes, and I won't be wasting any more time on you ever again!"

Coach Schmidt stormed out full of rage. Tommy was shocked that Coach Schmidt reacted to her like that. "Nice going, Tommy!" Kimberly snapped looking at him with anger and disgust. "Look what you just did! Because of you, I lost my dream of competing in the Pan Global Games."

"Kim, I never meant for that to happen," he gasped as he got up to try to reason with her. Tommy stepped on a skate board and went flying through room. He bumped into a table that had two large cakes and two bowls of punch. The moment he hit the table, it flipped up sending the cakes and punch bowls flying. Both Kimberly and Tommy were hit by the cakes and were covered in punch.

Meanwhile, Rita and Zedd stood at their balcony laughing as they watched Kimberly and Tommy yelling and arguing with each other. They watched Kimberly run out of the youth center. She was already mad at Tommy for knocking her out of the Pan Global Games. Now he ruined her party. "As long as the hooker's lips exist Kimberly and Tommy will be arguing and having bad luck," Rita laughed looking through her telescope. "Zeddy, I think we've finally got a monster that will tear the rangers apart for good."

Kimberly sat against the wall crying. "I can't believe he did this to me," she told herself. The hooker's lips appeared on the ceiling above her. "He knew what he was doing." She got up and looked in the mirror. Her pink top and denim skirt were stained with red punch, cake, and icing. Kimberly's face was covered in make-up and she looked like a clown. She ran her fingers through her hair and noticed it was a mess.

After looking in the mirror, Kimberly freaked out over her appearance and didn't want anyone to see her in that shape. She wanted to get cleaned up and changed her clothes. Since she was taking some PE classes and practiced gymnastics in the youth center, she kept spare clothes in her gym locker. Kimberly grabbed her towel, bath tote, and striped. She threw her ruined clothes in the trash can and stepped in the shower. The refreshing shower always made her feel relaxed and peaceful.

In the meantime, Tommy walked into the locker room thinking he had the coaches' locker room. Sweat was dripping from his face and caking icing had dried in his hair. His clothes were also stained and ruined. Tommy's heart was breaking after the argument that he had with Kimberly. He laid his duffle down and removed his robe and walked into the shower. He used a technique taught by his mother. He asked the water to dissolve all his emotions and thoughts connected to the argument that he had with Kimberly. Tommy visualized the water extinguishing the hurt and angry emotions and evaporating them.

After taking a nice warm shower, Kimberly stepped on to the bath mat all refreshed. She wrapped a pink fluffy towel around herself. A cloud of hot steam was coming from the other shower stall across the room. Was there someone else in there? She took a few steps closer and found a green duffle sitting on the floor. On the duffle it had "T. Oliver" monogramed in white letters. "Just, what I need," she thought as a cloud of steam was coming from Tommy's shower stall. "Tommy's here to cause even more trouble. I'm going to hurry up, get dressed, and get out of here before he can give me more trouble."

Kimberly walked away from Tommy's duffle bag and headed over to her gym locker. A pair of red lip prints were on her locker. However, there was all types of graffiti all over the gym lockers, so it didn't grab her attention that much. She opened her gym locker and grabbed her pink gym bag. The shower stall slowly opened, and Kimberly rushed into a changing stall to avoid running into Tommy.

Tommy walked out of the shower and dried of with his green towel. He quickly put on jeans and a white Henley. Just as he was getting ready to leave the room, a changing stall door opened. Kimberly walked out dressed in a pink tee shirt and a dark pink floral knee length jumper dress. "This is the girl's locker room! What are you doing in here?!" She demanded the very minute she saw Tommy sitting in there. "Did you come in here to give me more trouble?"

"Kim, the shower in the boy's locker room was broken. I was going to the coaches' locker room to clean up. I must have come in her by mistake," Tommy began holding up his damaged clothes to show her that he was in the same boat. "I promise you that I didn't do any-"

"-Tommy, just go," she requested. All she wanted was time away from Tommy. Ever since Coach Schmidt over heard what Tommy said, it was like she was having bad luck every time she with Tommy. "I think you've caused me enough trouble."

He tried to hide his hurt feelings as he walked over to the door. The door was scratched, dented, and chipped. It had a sliver colored lock and door handle with greasy finger prints. As his fingers wrapped around the door handle he noticed there were dark pink lip prints on the door. Was it just his imagination or was he really seeing lip prints everywhere he went? He wrapped his fingers around the door handle and it wouldn't open. "Mr. Kaplan, I've locked all of the locker rooms up," said Janitor Tony.

"Thanks, Tony," answered Mr. Kaplan. "I'm sorry to ask you to do this. Last week, I learned that step latter was stolen from the janitor's closet. A student told me it was taken into the boys' locker room. I went in there and found that ceiling boards were taken out and written on, lockers were vandalized, and they messed up with the showers. The drain was clogged up and water was all over the floor. I walked over to the girls' locker room and saw them drop down out of the ceiling; they were getting ready to do the same thing in there."

"I'm still fixing the showers in the boys' locker room," stated Janitor Tony. "Those boys messed the water heater. In both showers, the water is scalding hot. I've had to tell the boys to go to the coaches' locker room to get a shower. I have no idea how long it will take to fix the showers because we're still trying to fix the drains."

"Those boys are in alternative school for the rest of the year; they have to pay for the damage that they did," replied Mr. Kaplan. "Thank you for taking time to fix the showers. When should they be fixed?"

"In a few days," responded Janitor Tony.

"Thank you," said Mr. Kaplan. "Have a good after noon and I'll see you tomorrow."

They waited until they were sure that no one else was around. "I'm going to just teleport out of here," Kimberly announced as she grabbed her gym bag and towel. She tried to teleport, but she didn't have any luck. Tommy tried to teleport, but didn't have any luck either. "Great, we're stuck in here all night!"

"Kim, let try to contact one of the others," Tommy stated. Kimberly tried to contact Aisha and Tommy tried to contact the command center. Once again, they didn't have any luck. "I guess our communicators are down for some reason."

"That means we're stuck her all night!" Kimberly yelled as she opened a closet. She found they had been storing some purple sleeping bags and pillows with the Angel Grove High school crest on the front of them. At least they had a something to sleep in; she dragged out a sleeping bag and a pillow. She laid it on one side on the room.

Tommy went into the closet and put on a pair pajama pants. He grabbed a sleeping bag and a pillow and drug it out into the locker room. When he got out there. He noticed Kimberly had found a roll of tape. "Kim, what are you doing?" he questioned watching her pull off a long piece of duct tape and placed it on the floor.

"You stay on your side of the room and I'll stay on mine," she snapped as she got into her sleeping bag.

Before Tommy could lay his sleeping bag down, she turned the light out and he had to lay it down. He crawled into his sleep bag. Tommy hoped that everything would be back to normal the next day. They had some disagreements in the past and things were always back to normal quickly. He figured that she just needed a good night's sleep and time to adjust to what had happened.

Rita and Zedd were still standing at their balcony watching Kimberly take her anger out on Tommy. "Things are going nicely," Zedd smirked taking Rita's hand in his. "Tomorrow, Tommy will wake up and find things are still the same between them."

"Wonder how long it will take them to find out about Hooker's Lips?" Rita remarked while she kissed her husband. "I want to do a lot of damage that can't be fixed."

"Rita, that is part of my plan," Zedd explained as he leads her back to their thrones. "Hooker's Lips isn't going to make an appearance for a few days. It will give Kimberly time to continue to take her anger out on Tommy."

"How will that be a benefit to us?" Rita questioned laying her wand next to her throne. "I wanted her to do a lot of damage."

Zedd laid his Z staff down. "She will," he promised. "Tommy will eventually get tired of this and will distance himself from her. By the time Kimberly realizes what has happened it will be too late."

Author's note

I read about a plant called the Hooker's Lips and it came me the idea for the name of Rita and Zedd's monster. The actual plant looks like a pair of lips on a plants leaf. The Kimberly Queen Fern plant is actually a real plant, but it will only be used to make the monster. Later in the story, the monster will show its self to the rangers, but it will just be pair of lips that floats around. Right now, the Hooker's Lips will be jumping from surface to surface in the next couple of chapters following Tommy and Kim around. It will continue to bring them bad luck. It will also be explained in a future chapter why it makes Tommy admit the truth and why it make Kimberly take her anger out on Tommy.
