DISCLAIMER

Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the subplots and characters you don't recognize. I use a line from the mess up from this ep.

As students continued walking to and from classes, no one saw the red monster materialize in the halls. She laughed to herself. Empress Rita and Lord Zedd would be so pleased at the destruction she was about to cause.

"Oh, Tommy. We're going to have so much. I'm going to wear my hair back with some layers to give it some volume and I-" As Kimberly talked, Lovinatrix crept up behind her and then shot her with an arrow. Kimberly's breath caught in her throat. Wow. He's so handsome, she thought to herself. "Ai-yi-yi-yi," she sighed.

"What is it?" Tommy asked.

"You are the cutest thing I have ever seen," Kimberly said, stopping in front of Skull.

"Huh?" Tommy, Bulk, Skull, Tyler, and Jason chorused. Okay, something's off here, Skull thought to himself. Kimberly sighed.

"Has anyone ever told that you have the most beautiful eyes?" she questioned, stroking Skull's chin.

"Uh, no," Skull replied. "Kimberly, what's the matter with you?" he asked. He had accepted the fact that she wasn't into him a long time ago and had resigned himself to being her friend. After all, that was a whole lot more than he used to have.

"Nothing's the matter with me, Handsome. At least, nothing that can't be cured by going to the ball together," Kimberly replied.

"Uh, Kim, we're going to the ball," Tommy reminded her, maneuvering himself so that he was standing in front of Skull. To his surprise, she pushed him aside.

"Why would I settle for the rest when I'm looking at the best?" she wondered, wrapping her arms around him.

"What the heck?" Jason asked.

"I-I-don't know," Skull stammered, trying to disentangle himself from Kimberly. I can't believe this. She finally seems like she's into me, and she's probably under a spell or something, he thought to himself. On the other side of the hall, Lt. Stone opened the door to Miss Appleby's class, unaware of the Lovinatrix who had also appeared.

"Pardon me, Ma'am. I'm sorry to interrupt, but I'm looking for a group of my off-" his voice trailed off as he felt something hit him. Lovinatrix disappeared. "Oh, my stripes," the man said. The class watched as he approached her. "You have such beautiful eyes," he commented.

"I beg your pardon?" Sarah Appleby questioned. Billy, Aisha, Rocky, and Adam stared at one another. What was going on?

"Ma'am, I realize that this is sudden, but would you do me the honor of accompanying me to the Junior Policeman's Ball?" Lt Stone invited.

"Lt. Stone! This is neither the time nor the place!" she chided. Back in the halls, Tommy, Bulk, Katherine, Tyler, and Jason were watching Skull who was trying to reason with Kimberly.

"What exactly is going on here?" Jason wondered.

"I have no idea. I mean, one minute, Kim and I are talking, and the next thing I know, she's flirting with Skull," Tommy answered. It's gotta be some sort of spell. I mean, even if she did develop feelings for Skull, she wouldn't just flirt with him in front of me, he thought.

"Yeah, it's strange all right," Bulk agreed. Lovinatrix once again rematerialized in the halls as Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and Billy walked out of class.

"That was too weird," Aisha commented.

"Maybe Jason or the others will have an idea," Adam surmised.

"A valid assumption," Billy agreed as they came down the stairs. Tommy stared at Kimberly unhappily.

"I don't believe this," he sighed.

"And what a line: 'Has anyone ever told that you have the most beautiful eye'-" Bulk started to ask and then jumped as he felt something him.

"I-I-Aisha!" he exclaimed as Aisha, Rocky, Billy, and Adam walked down the steps.

"Yes, Bulk?" she asked.

"Come with me to a picnic. I'll treat you like a princess," he urged, pulling her close.

"Well, a picnic sounds nice, but we're in school right now," Aisha reminded him.

"Let's blow it off!" Bulk suggested.

"Guys, I think we should go. There's definitely something going on," Aisha commented, pulling away from Bulk.

"Yeah, I think we should contact Zordon," Billy agreed. Lovinatrix laughed when she saw the chaos. How delightful! Empress will be so pleased! she thought. Her gaze turned to the Red and Brown Rangers. How perfect! Two for one! she thought to herself. She pulled her bow back and then fired. The arrow hit both Rangers right, one after the other. Jason looked into Katherine's eyes.

"Whoa. You look amazing," he breathed.

"So do you," she stated in the same tone. He caressed her cheek and leaned forward and then kissed her. Lovinatrix laughed and then disappeared. On the moon, Rita let out a cackle.

"Perfect!" she exclaimed. "Goldar, Scorpina, Rito! Atta-a-a-a-ack!" The three teleported from the moon palace and landed in downtown Angel Grove, where they immediately began destroying the city.
