Trini Kwan ran through her routine, focusing on arm placements and leg positions, not concentrating on her surroundings. It had only taken a year after being a Ranger to not be on edge at any given situation. It had been a gradual process but she was finally able to block everything out and focus completely on what she was doing.

She held the last pose for a couple extra seconds before lowering her leg to the ground. She grabbed a towel and blotted the sweat from her face. Trini enjoyed her workouts and always made sure to exercise during her lunch break.

Trini turned and her body immediately flew into a defensive pose. "What are you doing here?"

Zedd was looking around with a half-smile. "So this is Switzerland. Not bad," he mused. "But there's no place like home."

She was sure that Billy said that Rita and Zedd had been overthrown.

"How did you get here? I thought the Machine Empire stripped you and Rita of your magic."

He growled. "Fools. I am Lord Zedd, future conqueror of the universe. Those ignorant machines wouldn't know a spell if it jumped up and bit them on the ass."

"That doesn't explain why you're here."

"It does. Angel Grove holds no appeal to me because the Machines can't know that I still have magic. If I'd gone to Aquitar to visit the geek, it would have drawn too much attention. It's too hot where the gymnast is and you and the dancer," his lip curled, "are in the same place. So here I am."

"But why are you here?"

"To visit."

Her mouth dropped open. "You tried to kill us numerous times. I don't want to spend any time with you!"

"Sure you do. I saw the way you use to eye me. I think we can make some beautiful…music together."

Her nose wrinkled. "That was disgust, Zedd. Not passion." Why was she talking about this with him? Shouldn't she be terrified that he was interested in her? But he was such a bumbling idiot that she wasn't that worried. She could still kick ass and take names if needed. Though she did back up a step he lumbered forward.

He chuckled softly. "Do you practice a lot?"

She shrugged. "As much as I'm able."

"Hey!" Trini and Zedd turned at the shout. Zack was running rapidly toward them. Dismissing him, Zedd turned to Trini with a smile. "If you ever want to go to the dark side, find me."

He disappeared as suddenly as he appeared and Zack charged right up to her and grabbed her arms. "Did he hurt you?"

"No. He's either lonely or looking for a new girlfriend." She shuddered.

Zack wrapped his arm around her shoulders and led her back to the dorm.
