And here's attempt no. 2. This is Power Rangers: Time Force.
I haven't seen a lot of Time Force, so I'm not sure of a lot of stuff. And I changed the song. Sorry.
Two Little Kids
Trip was standing forlornly on the edge of the playground, clutching the remains of his toy, the first time he met Katie.
"Hey." He looked up, surprised that anyone was actually talking to him, and met the gaze of the new girl. "What happened?"
"Oh…they wanted it." He didn't have to say who they were; every six-year-old there knew.
"What was it?" She'd taken the pieces from him and was trying to fit them back together.
"It used to be my horse."
Two little kids
Had two little toys
Each rode a wooden horse.
Gaily they played,
Each summer's day,
Warriors both of course.
Then one little chap
Had a mishap
Broke off his horse's head
Wept for his toy,
Then smiled with joy
When his young playmate said,
"Hey, I know!" Trip looked up.
"What?"
"We can play on my horse! Come on!"
"Wait a minute!" He pulled out her grip. "They'll want yours too."
"We'll run away. Come on, Trip!"
"How'd you know my name?"
"The teacher said it. Come on, we'll play with Lucas."
"Lucas only plays with Jen."
"Not today. Come on!"
"Did you think I would leave you crying,
When there's room on my horse for two?
Climb up here, now
And don't be crying,
I can go just as fast with two.
When we grow up we'll both be soldiers,
And our horses will not be toys,
But I wonder if we'll remember,
When we were two little kids."
Trip stood in line with the other Rangers, facing down Ransik's latest creation. Yet again, Ransik had chosen a mutant for his driving skills. At least Lucas isn't taking his driving test this time, Trip thought. Twice Lucas had had his driving test ruined by encounters with Ransik's mutants, though he'd passed the second time.
"Time Force! You're under arrest!" Jen yelled, producing her badge.
"Oh, I'm so scared!" the mutant blubbered, jumping into Nadira's car. "You got to catch me first!"
"Time cycles!" Wes yelled, summoning the five cycles. Trip swept into place with the others and rode after the car. The mutant looked back, and, seeing that they were gaining on him, opened fire.
Long years passed,
War came at last.
Gaily, they marched away.
Cannon roared loud,
In the mad crowd,
Wounded and dying lay.
Then up went a shout,
A horse galloped out.
Out from the ranks so blue.
Galloped away,
To where he lay,
Then came a voice he knew.
Dazzled by the explosion Trip lost control of his cycles and fell, skidding. He finally brought himself under control and found himself cut off from the other Rangers, near Nadira's car. She was doing that stupid annoying laugh again.
"Trip!" Oh. Katie. That was nice, but she sounded upset…now, what could be wrong…
Trip shook his head, trying to concentrate. The mutant, he told himself firmly. Pay attention.
"Trip!" Katie was beside him. "Get up, come on." With her help he climbed onto her bike and they sped away, back to the other Rangers.
"Trip, you ok?" Jen asked, covering them both.
"Yeah…I'll be fine."
Did you think I would leave you dying,
When there's room on my horse for two?
Climb up here, now,
We'll soon be flying,
Back to the ranks so blue.
Do you feel that I'm all a-tremble?
Perhaps it's the battle's noise.
But I think it's that I remember,
When we were two little kids.
"That should do it." Katie closed the first aid box and started to tidy up. Trip sat for a moment, catching his breath; he hated having his ribs wrapped.
"Katie?"
"Yeah, Trip?"
"Thanks."
"No problem, Trip."
"Did you think I would leave you dying,

"When we were two little kids."
AN: It doesn't work quite as well when you take out the word 'boys', does it? I know it didn't fit, but I really wanted to write this for Trip and Katie. I've only seen a few episodes, but she seems really protective of him. So I thought this would be nice.
Any suggestions on what I should write next? Put them in the review you're sure to give me. Suggest any fandom you want; I'll pick the ones I know well enough to write. Thanks!
