A/N: Wow, thanks to everyone who reviewed! Here's part two!


-Trini-

"Aww, man!" Tommy yelled as Zack dove unsuccessfully for the volleyball. The ball hit the sand...and that was game. Jason and Trini had won yet again.

"What's the record at now?" Zack asked while getting to his feet. "A billion to nothing?"

"Something like that," Kimberly said from the sidelines. She and Billy had decided to sit this game out, to see if giving Zack and Tommy more room to run around would even the odds. It obviously hadn't worked.

Jason and Trini were almost renowned in Angel Grove for their amazing double team attack in volleyball. It made sense, with Trini being the president of the volleyball club and Jason just being an athlete and sports buff in general. Volleyball and martial arts were the two things that connected these two. They were mutual interests that they both shared since the day they met, and were partially the reason these two Rangers were so close. Jason and Trini had taken challenge after challenge while growing up, but had yet to be defeated.

"We're gonna get you guys one day," Zack said. "Just mark my words...your day will come!"

"I'm sure it will, bro," Jason said with a laugh as he briefly clasped hands with the Black Ranger, then the Green.

"So what plans do we have scheduled for this evening?" Billy asked as the four Rangers joined him and Kimberly.

"Let's go see a movie," Kimberly suggested. "Isn't that new comedy out, now?"

"I'd love to join you guys...but Sylvia's in town and I have to stay with her while parents take my aunt and uncle to dinner tonight," Trini said with a sigh. She loved her little cousin and all, but she had been looking forward to spending a Friday night out with her friends.

"At that new place downtown?" Jason asked curiously.

"Yea..." Trini said, raising an eyebrow as she looked at Jason. "How did you know?"

"I think my parents are taking my aunt and uncle to that place too. They're all probably going together," Jason said with a laugh. "I've got to keep an eye on Jeremy while they're gone."

"Well, how about the two of you come over to my house then?" Trini suggested. "Between the four of us I'm sure we can find something to do."

"Good idea," Jason said with a nod.

"Well, Beautiful, how about we make it a date?" Tommy suggested, looking to Kim.

"Oh! I thought you'd never ask!" Zack, who happened to be right next to Kim, yelled in the highest pitched voice he could.

The whole team, minus Tommy, went into a round of laughter at that one. The Green Ranger just shook his head, knowing he didn't have a chance in the world with that anymore.

"Alright, guys," Jason said when the laughter died down. "I'm gonna go take a shower, get Jeremy, and I'll head straight to your place, Tri."

"Sounds good to me," Trini said, and the Red and Yellow Rangers said their brief goodbyes to the rest of the team before heading out.


Later that evening Trini, Jeremy, and Sylvia were all sitting on the couch in the Kwans' house, while Jason was in the reclining chair next to it. All four sets of eyes were glued to the TV screen as Trini flipped through the channels, but no one was seeing anything interesting enough to ask her to stay on it. When Trini hit ESPN she stopped, seeing that they were playing volleyball.

"They don't look so tough," Jason said, breaking the silence and getting a giggle out of Trini.

"We could take 'em," Trini said with mock cockiness.

"What are you guys talking about?" Sylvia asked, cocking an eyebrow.

"No one in this town's ever beaten the two of us in a game of volleyball," Trini explained, making sure she didn't sound like she was bragging. "We get challenges all the time."

"I bet I could take you two," Jeremy casually said, keeping his eyes on the screen.

Jason turned in his chair to look at his younger cousin. "You think so, Germs?"

"I know so," Jeremy replied, looking to his older cousin now.

"Let's see you put your money where your mouth is," Jason challenged while pulling out his wallet.

Jeremy hesitated at that one, thinking for a minute about what he'd said.

"It's ok, Jeremy," Trini suddenly said. "We understand if you don't want to lose your money."

Both Scott cousins looked at the Yellow Ranger, surprise written all over their faces. Trini usually wasn't the one to trash talk or make challenges. Jeremy quickly recovered, though.

"It's on!" the boy replied, pulling out his own wallet. He pulled a ten dollar bill out, slamming it on the table in front of them. Jason and Trini pulled out their own tens, setting them down on top of Jeremy's. Finally, Sylvia put a ten on top of the pile herself.

"Even teams," Sylvia said, suppressing a smile.

"Let's get it on," Jason said, and the four of them got up, heading into the backyard.

The Kwans had a large backyard, complete with a sandy volleyball court. It was fairly new, built by Jason, Zack, and Tommy on a boring Saturday that Rita had decided to take off. Trini had mentioned wanting a volleyball court nearby so her club could practice at her house, and the next thing she knew the three Rangers had dragged her to the local Home Depot and picked up the supplies. By the end of the weekend she had a full scale volleyball court right in her own backyard. She was just thankful she hadn't mentioned her urge to go swimming that day as well.

While Jason and Jeremy hung the net up, Sylvia put the money in a secure place and Trini got the volleyball. The four of them took off their socks and shoes, then Jason and Trini took one side of the court while Jeremy and Sylvia took the other.

"Now this is a volleyball," Trini explained. "The purpose is to hit it in the air and..."

"Yea, yea! Come on, serve it!" Jeremy yelled, not taking that insult too lightly.

Jason just laughed. "We were gonna give it to you first! Your rules too!"

"First to ten, and that's it," Jeremy said, catching the ball when Trini threw it to him.

"You got it! Serve!" Jason yelled.

Jeremy hit a light serve over the net, which Trini easily returned. Much to her surprise though, Jeremy broke out in a full sprint, leaping up and spiking the ball hard into the sand between her and Jason. Both Rangers just stared at the point of impact in shock.

"That's one to nothing!" Jeremy announced as Jason tossed the ball back.

"Lucky shot!" Jason yelled, getting ready this time.

Jeremy served again, and Jason met the ball this time. He knocked it back over, but Sylvia was right there and returned it. Trini came up with a spike, drilling it to the ground near Jeremy.

Jeremy just smiled as he threw the ball to Trini. "Not bad, not bad!"

Trini didn't answer, instead she served it right to Sylvia, who lightly knocked it to the other side. Jason leaped up right in front of the net and spiked it right back into her, sending her and the ball to the ground.

"One to one!" Trini triumphantly yelled, while Sylvia got up.

"We're just getting started!" her cousin yelled, tossing the ball back to Trini.

"Good! Us, too!" Jason replied, taking off his shirt and throwing it to the grass on the side.

Trini just laughed as she served yet again.


Nine to nine. Jason's serve. One more point to win the game. The Red Ranger took a deep breath. Those two were sure giving them a run for their money. He wasn't scared, though. He couldn't be. That was how you lost your cool and the game. No, he had a clear head and was full of confidence as he tossed the ball into the air, hitting it over the net.

Sylvia met that one, knocking it back over. The ball barely cleared the net, and Jason had to run and dive to keep it from hitting the ground. Trini ran up next her fallen comrade, hitting the ball over her head and the net with both arms. However, she turned just in time to see Jeremy spike the ball back to their side, into a completely undefended area.

"I'll take that back, thank you very much!" Jeremy yelled, and Trini lightly kicked it under the net like a soccer ball. Jeremy scooped it up in his arms while his cousin got back to his feet.

"They're a whole lot better than I expected," Jason said, looking at Trini in disbelief while they took their positions.

"I know, I wasn't ready for this," Trini said.

Jeremy sent a hard serve forward, which Jason returned in full force. Jeremy met it again, and sent it to Trini this time. The Yellow Ranger hit the ball to Sylvia, but her younger cousin easily knocked it back over. Jason was right by the net, and leaped up to return it as a spike. As soon as the ball made contact with his hand, though, he saw Sylvia moving in for the kill. The ball was barely over the net when she returned it, spiking it right into the sand.

"GAME!!!" Sylvia screamed victoriously, running over and giving Jeremy a high five.

"Thanks for the money, cuz!" Jeremy yelled as he and Sylvia ran over to claim their prize.

Jason turned to look at Trini, who was staring at him with her arms crossed.

"You know Sylvia pretty much just destroyed you on that one," Trini said, and Jason gave a slow nod.

"When did they get so good?" Jason asked, ignoring her statement while picking up his shirt. At least he had the good grace not to say anything when Jeremy faked her out horribly on the sixth point.

"More importantly...what are the others going to say?" Trini asked.

Jason winced. He hadn't even thought of that. They'd never hear the end of it from the other four Rangers. Even Alpha would make a remark at some point about it. They were doomed...ruined forever. Unless...

"Who's going to tell them?" Jason asked, grinning slyly.

"...Well, I'm not," Trini slowly replied, a grin forming on her face as well as she tried to sound angry.

"Well, I'm not either," Jason said, as if they were fighting.

"Well then I guess no one's going to tell them," Trini said, with a full blown smile, now.

Jason just laughed and put his arm around Trini, and the two of them went inside to congratulate their cousins on the victory. After that...it would never be spoken of again.


"Alright! Today's the day! I'm feelin' it!" Zack yelled as he jumped onto the volleyball court they always played on in the park. "Let's go you two! See how you handle all four of us!"

"You're on Zack-man!" Jason replied, stepping onto the other side of the court with Trini right beside him. The other three lined up near Zack, with Kim holding the volleyball.

"Zack's right!" Tommy yelled across the net. "Today's the day we're giving you that first L!"

Jason smiled, shooting Trini a quick glance. She returned it, and they both shared a brief smile before getting back into the game. They both knew and accepted the truth. Their scorecard already had an "L" on it.

It was just written in invisible ink.
