Cordelia saw that Andrew was hanging off Warren Mears's arm and frowned, she said, "So guys, dish; who is this guy he seems so into?"
"Warren?" Jonathan said, "He's smart, really smart but he's a jerk. I think he, umm, knows about Andrew's affection for him but he doesn't care."
Owen frowned and said, "Yeah, Andrew idolizes him, remember the science fair last year? He made a working robot arm and after that Tucker became friends with him and Andrew, yeah, Andrew fell for him.
"Have they, umm, done anything?" Cordelia asked, "I mean like date or something?"
"No," Jonathan said, "But, umm, Andrew doesn't care, when Warren speaks he tends to listen."
"So," Cordelia said, "We have to get someone else to kinda be interested in Andrew, to show him that there is more out there than that."
She pointed at Warren and sighed, "Andrew's a superhero now, he fights against evil regularly and yet he wants that."
Jonathan frowned and said, "I say we have a girl pretend to be interested in Warren, he'll dump Andrew and cruelly too, it might be the best way. What about one of the Cordettes?"
"Hmmm, you mean the Harmonics?" Cordelia said, "Hmm, I have an idea: the new girl, Buffy, I kinda wanted to meet her before Harmony and the Harmonics get their claws in her and I know a few girls who might help."
Meanwhile Andrew trotted behind Warren who looked at Tucker and said, "He's following me again."
Tucker shrugged and said, "Andrew, we don't want you hanging out with us, alright?"
Andrew's face fell and he walked away, Cordelia frowned and said, "Jonathan, explain."
"Tucker is, well Tucker, I mean he's kinda out there, I know he's not the best but he at least slightly cares for Andrew but not enough."
Cordelia frowned and said, "So, mmm, we need to make sure that Warren is the one who show's Andrew what a jerk he is."
"He won't believe anyone else," Jonathan said, "He really does care about Warren, kinda sad really."
"Owen," Cordelia said, "We can use him to bait Andrew away from Warren while I convince someone to pretend to like Warren and, oh damn it, I have to get Buffy away from Harmony as well."
Jonathan pointed at Buffy who had rebuked Harmony's attempts to befriend her and was talking to Willow and Xander, Cordelia nodded.
"Why'd you want her away from Harmony?" Jonathan asked, "Isn't she almost like Harmony?"
"Nah," Cordelia said, "Harmony is worse than I was, I think. She always wanted power and now she has it, she is hurting herself and a few people too."
Jonathan nodded and said, "So Andrew first Cordy?"
"Let's get him now, I know who we can talk to; Marcie. Damn it!" Cordelia said, "I owe her an apology as well."
"Who?" Jonathan asked looking confused, "I don't know Marcie."
"Umm, well," Cordelia said, "I wasn't very nice to her Jonathan, she could almost seem invisible but she's kind of pretty and I can ask her to help."
Twenty minutes later Marcie frowned and said, "You want my help Cordelia? You made me miserable for years!"
Cordelia frowned and said, "Marcie, I've been thinking about how I treated you and how I got almost everyone to treat you like you were invisible."
"Okay, it's not you I'm helping, its Andrew, okay? I like him because he's cute, is he, umm?"
Jonathan frowned and said, "He's gay and, well, we're afraid Warren will hurt him or he might do something stupid because he thinks Warren will love him."
"But first Marcie," Cordelia said, "I'm gonna make you noticeable and Jonathan, keep an eye on Andrew, okay?"
Jonathan nodded and ran off to find Andrew while Marcie looked at Cordelia who said, "Let's make you pretty."
A few minutes later Andrew was sitting next to Owen who was reading one of his poetry books, Owen looked up and nodded to Jonathan then he nodded to Andrew, who was pretty much asleep, and asked, "He was upset, did Warren or Tucker tell him to get lost?"
"Yeah, kinda," Jonathan said, "Why does he always come here?"
Owen shrugged and said, "I calm him down, well either me or you, what's up?"
Jonathan explained Cordelia's plan and Owen said, "Harsh but needed, Warren's a pig."
They both smiled as Andrew began to snore, Owen nodded and said, "Warren's going down."
Andrew blinked as he woke up, 'I fell asleep again, didn't I?'
As he got up he saw Jonathan who said, "So, do you want to go find Warren and, umm, Tucker?"
Andrew nodded and said, "Sure thing."
As they walked out Jonathan saw Cordelia give him the thumbs up and she pointed to where Marcie was making eyes at Warren and Warren was eating her lines with a spoon.
Marcie nodded at Cordelia's smile and she asked, "Warren, mmmm, who's that?" as she pointed to Andrew.
Warren frowned and said, "A nobody, he thinks I'll love him but he's actually pathetic."
"Wait!" Andrew said, "Warren?"
Warren walked over and he said, "Yeah Andrew, you're pathetic and you're not going to ruin this for me," and he suddenly slammed his fist into Andrew's stomach.
Andrew collapsed in shock, 'Warren hit me?' He knew Warren could yell but he had never been hit before.
Cordelia suddenly ran over and grabbed Andrew as Marcie kicked Warren in the balls, Marcie said "You know what Warren? Kicking the shit out of your friend in front of me is not the way of getting me to love you."
In the command centre Zordon frowned and said, "Alpha, is Andrew alright?"
Alpha nodded and said, "He's been hit harder. But Zordon, why did the others trick him like this?"
"Not him," Zordon said, "The boy that Andrew had a crush on is a violent, manipulative man and he would do anything to maintain control. This is perhaps the best way to have Andrew see Warren for what he is."
"But what I am worried about," Zordon said, "Is Sunnydale's unique energy as it seems to be fluctuating, something is happening but I do not know what is going on. Alpha, please keep an eye on it."
Meanwhile Andrew was sobbing as Cordelia soothed him and she said, "Jeez, he is a jerk, isn't he?"
Andrew nodded and said, "Yeah, he is."
Jonathan soothed Andrew and said, "It's better that you find out now rather than later and there are other guys, nicer guys."
Andrew sobbed and sniffed and said, "I feel better guys."
Cordelia nodded and said, "How about we go to the Bronze tonight? We can get Andrew in and it's nice, Rita's been quiet too."
"Alright," Andrew said, "I guess, I'll feel better later."
That night as Andrew walked to the Bronze with Cordelia and she said, "You look good Andrew and you can do much better than Warren."
Andrew frowned but nodded, he hadn't ever expected Warren to hit him, he knew Warren was violent at times and he can yell.
Cordelia smiled and said, "Don't worry Andrew, you still got us."
Andrew nodded and then frowned as they walked into the Bronze, he felt a twinge of something when he saw Harmony glare at another girl.
"That's Buffy," Cordelia said, "I wonder what happened?"
They aw that Buffy was holding a stake and Andrew said, "Ummm, what is that for?"
"Umm," Buffy said, "They're all the rage in LA?" and she ran off.
"Hmmph!" Harmony said, "I am so blacklisting her." She looked at Andrew and said, "Hey, I heard you got rejected by Warren, you have to be really pathetic to rejected by him."
Andrew looked at her as she smirked and Cordelia sighed and said, "Andrew, you know that Warren helped her with her homework and there were rumours flying around about how she paid him for his services."
Harmony backed away as Andrew giggled.
She yelled at them, "At least the Blue Ranger has a thing for me."
Andrew blinked and said, "He does?"
She nodded and said, "He saved me from that monster last week."
Cordelia frowned and said, "He did the right thing Harmony, that doesn't mean he loves you."
"Yeah, the Harmonics are gonna find out who he is and then," Harmony said, "We can be together… forever."
Andrew watched in shock as Harmony strode away and said, "We cannot tell Jonathan about this."
"Creepy," Cordelia said, "Wait, Buffy was saying something about Willow, hmmm, someone took her. C'mon Andrew."
As they ran out Andrew frowned and said, "There's Buffy, she's going to the Graveyard."
"Let's morph," Cordelia said and she yelled, "Sabretooth Tiger!"
"Pterodactyl!" Andrew yelled as they transformed and ran towards the Park.
"Zordon," Cordelia said, "Umm, I might need some help, there's something going on in the park."
"I shall summon the other rangers," Zordon said, "Be careful."
Andrew held his blade blaster close to his chest as he saw Willow and her friends come out and he noticed that Jesse looked a bit drained.
He saw several creatures emerge, he realized that they were vampires because Tucker told him that they existed, Andrew aimed his blade blaster and fired.
One of the creature turned into dust instantly, Andrew frowned and thought, 'It couldn't' be that easy, could it?'
'Maybe it's the laser?' Andrew wasn't sure but he fired again, killing another vampire.
Andrew came face to face with a vampire who was trying to carry Jesse off and Cordelia yelled, "Hey, that's our buddy!"
She pushed Jesse into Andrew and Jesse said, "Umm, hey there pink guy. Umm, I gotta say, it takes a real man to wear pink."
"Umm, thanks," Andrew said as he put Jesse down and watched the vampires run away.
Buffy ran up and said, "Umm, wow, you guys are really brightly coloured, who are you? What are you?"
"Power rangers!" Jesse yelled, "Awesome aren't they?"
"We stop the giant monsters and putties," Andrew said, "Umm, I'm the pink ranger and Yellow's the boss of our group."
Cordelia nodded and said, "You better get out of here guys because there might be more of those things."
"Umm," Buffy said, "I'm the slayer, I have to be the one killing these things."
"Hey," Xander said, "It can't hurt to have help and they are heroes."
Buffy simply nodded a bit confused, 'I'll find out about them tomorrow,' she thought as she got Willow, Jesse and Xander out of the area.
Cordelia simply looked at Andrew and said, "We should ask Zordon if he has any information about Slayers."
Meanwhile in the Master's lair the Master glared and said, "Power Rangers? I thought that was stupid joke."
"It wasn't Master," Darla said pleading, "They had weapons that just tore us apart and there was a girl."
"Luke," the Master said, "This girl, who is she?"
"I think she's a slayer," Luke said softly, "But I only think this because she fought me and still lives."
"That in itself is telling," the Master said, "So we have five teenagers with super powers? This sounds like a Saturday morning cartoon."
"And a Slayer," Darla added, "Should we hold the Harvest off?"
Before the Master could say anything a woman in a crazy dress appeared and she screeched, "You leeches don't get to conquer the world! This world belongs to me! Rita Repulsa!"
The Master frowned and said, "If you were competent then these rangers would already be gone, would they not?"
She simply laughed, aimed her staff at them and fired bolts of power that knocked the Master against the wall and she said, "I am in charge here, don't you forget it!"
As she left Darla pulled the Master up and said, "What now?"
"Call the Order," the Master said, "This Rita is not in charge, I am."
TBC
What should happen at the Harvest? Should Rita interfere?
Did you like what happened to Warren?
I am still taking suggestions for who might be the Green Ranger.
