"Thank you for letting me go shopping with you guys." Z said.

"Don't be ridiculous Z, any friend of Tiana is a friend of mine." Madison said.

"And any girl that bring me a double stuffed loaded burrito with extra hot sauce can practically become my stalker." Josie said between bites of her burrito.

Tiana, Madison, Josie, and Z were all shopping for Halloween costumes. Of course after Madison begged them they agreed to go. Madison finally pulled out a costume. It was a tight black tank top with a short blue skirt. A red cloak came with it along with a basket.

"What the hell is that?" Josie asked.

"It's a Little Red Riding Hood costume." Madison said.

"Yeah if she was a stripper." Josie laughed.

"Little is the definitely the first word that comes to mind." Tiana said eyeing how short the skirt was.

"Too bad the hood isn't pink." Madison sighed.

"What is your weird obsession with pink clothes?" Z asked.

The other three girls turned to each other and grinned. Z stood their obliviously.

"Why do I feel like I'm missing something?" Z asked.

Madison ignored Z's comment and walked over to a costume that caught her eye.

"I like this." She pulled out a costume made of gauze. It was basically a bra and underwear made with gauze and it came with a head scarf.

"A mummy, a perfect costume for you Tiana."

"I don't know, I'm only fifteen, that outfit seems a little…mature." Tiana said.

"That's her way of saying slutty." Josie said.

"Come Tiana! You know you want to, besides Alex would totally be eyeballing you." Madison said.

Tiana grabbed the dress so fast, they didn't even see her. "I'm in."


Meanwhile the boys were at Ricos drinking and eating.

"Okay men, it's time we talk about something serious….women. Okay gentlemen who are you bringing to Ryan's Halloween Party?" Owen asked.

"I'm going solo." Calev said.

"Amber reject you again Calev?" Owen said.

"Yeah. It sucks."

"I'm taking my new girlfriend Carrie." Alex said in between bites of his burrito.

"Yes, the one the girls refer to as the demented she beast with no heart and deserves to burn in hell. At least that's what they said." Owen laughed.

"I still don't understand why they hate her so much."

Jaxon, Owen, and Calev all looked at each other. Jaxon mouthed the words: Is he really that stupid?

Owen shrugged. "So Jax, who are you brining?"

"Well given that there isn't that many gay kids at our school, I guess I'm flying solo too."

"Come on man, I'm sure we can find you a nice 'Magic Mike' for you to get with." Owen said.

"There's no way in hell I'm letting you guys set me up on a date. Especially with a guy." Jaxon said crossing his arms.

"Speaking of dates, Owen who are you going with?" Alex asked.

"No one yet, I may just hook up with one of the girls there. I still have a lot of condoms left over." Owen grinned.

"What the hell is wrong with you?" Jaxon asked.

Alex grinned. "Are you sure there's not a certain green ranger you won't to take." Alex hinted.

Owen blushed, he then immediately put on a straight face. "What are you talking about?" Owen asked.

Calev, Jaxon, and Alex all looked at each other. Owen was desperate to change the subject.

"So anyway, speaking about female rangers what's going on with you and Tiana?" Owen asked.

Alex almost spit out his drink. "There's nothing going on between me and Tiana."

Owen, Calev, and Jaxon almost fell over from laughing so hard.


The girls were at the cash register paying for their costumes. Z decided to get a bunny costume and Josie settled for a Greek warrior. In her hand she carried the large helmet that went with the costume.

"I'm just saying Josie it could shorter and tighter." Madison said.

"It could also be sluttier. Unlike you Madison I don't have a boyfriend to impress."

Tiana and Madison started laughing. "You mean to tell me there is a certain white…" Madison realized Z was right next to her.

"I'm mean Owen." Madison said.

Z seemed shocked that Josie would have feelings for the biggest player in school.

"You like Owen?" She asked.

"NO!" Josie yelled loudly causing everyone in the store to look at them.

"It's not a sin to like a boy you know." Z said.

"Well about you Z what special guy are you going with?" Josie asked.

Z sighed. "No one's asked me yet. I was hoping Calev would."

Tiana, Madison, and Josie all looked at each other shocked.

"You like Calev?" Madison asked.

"Why?" Tiana asked.

"Are you out of your damn mind?" Josie asked.

Z blushed. "Well I and Calev have theater together, but he's only interested in that girl Amber."

"Well you can't help who you love, and I'm sure Amber's not that bad." Josie said.

"She slept with Owen." Madison pointed out.

"That useless whore." Josie cursed.

All of a sudden the three girls armbands ringed. "There's that noise again." Z said.

She looked around while she tried to figure it out. "Z we need to go. Like right now. See you later."

The three girls left the store quickly, leaving a puzzled Z to question their whereabouts.

"Where do they always go?"


"Okay Owen today is the day you are going to be united with your soulmate, or she punches you in the face. Whatever comes first?" Calev said to the white ranger.

"I feel like I'm going to explode." Owen said.

Owen didn't know what it was. He had been on MANY dates with MANY different girls. Yet Josie made him so nervous. He never sweated this much in his life.

"You don't need to be nervous. She's just a girl and you dated a lot of girls. Just stay calm." Calev assured.

Owen took a deep breath. He walked over to where Josie was talking to Madison and Tiana. The three girls just arrived at the temple with several bags containing there costumes and makeup.

"Hi Owen." Tiana said cheerfully.

She then shot a look at Josie who avoided his eye contact and started to sip on her smoothie. "Hello Perez." Josie said.

"Mads and Tiana I was wondering if I could talk to Josie alone." Josie blushed.

Madison and Tiana started to giggle and walked over to the other boys to talk about Halloween.

"So Josie. For a while now I sort of….I mean that….I like….to be honest-"

"Yes I'll go the Halloween party with you." Josie said.

Owen seemed surprise. "Really?"

"I mean that is what you were going to ask me right? It's just the girls were talking and-"

Josie stopped and did something that surprised them both she kissed him. Many of the other gasped.

"Damn it." Jaxon cursed as he handed Calev 20 dollars.

"You won." He bitterly mumbled.

"That is wrong. You shouldn't bet on things like that, that's a human relationship. Right Madison?" Tiana said.

Tiana looked and saw the pink ranger was handing Calev 20 dollars also.

"I give up."


"What in the hell is that?" Madison asked.

"A perfect Halloween costume, I'm going as Magic Mike." Owen said.

"What did you want to talk to me about?" Owen asked.

Madison frowned. "I want your word you won't hurt Josie. Not like how you hurt me."

"Your broke up with me, remember?" Owen snarled.

"But I had a damn good reason, remember? For some odd reason Josie really likes you, so don't hurt her."

Owen frowned. "If you didn't want us to date so much why did you keep pushing her to go out with me?" Madison asked.

"Because I'm her friend. And friends support each other. Even if what they're about to do is stupid." Madison said.


Later that night everyone was at the Halloween Party. Everyone was laughing and talking and having drinks.

"Remind again what the hell are you again?" Josie asked.

She and Owen were sitting in his white van listening to the radio. "I'm Magic Mike. Duh."

"And what posesed you to do this foolish thing?" Josie asked.

"I thought you would like to see me half naked." Owen grinned.

Josie laughed and rolled her eyes. Out of the corner of her eye she saw Madison walking with her boyfriend, Z, and Tiana.

"There they are." Josie said.

The two of them got out of the car and walked towards their friends. Madison glared at Owen but smiled when she saw the green ranger.

"Hi Josie." Madison said.

"I wore you're slutty costume that you picked out." Josie grumbled.

"It's not slutty!" Madison pouted.

Madison wore her Little Red Riding Hood Costume, but changed the hood so it was pink. Instead of her purse she carried a brown basket.

"This is my boyfriend Josh." She said.

She pointed to a tall boy with sandy blond hair, sea blue eyes, freckles, and had tanned skin. He was fit and wore a big bad wolf costume to go with Madison's.

"You don't feel strange bringing your older boyfriend to a Halloween party?" Josie asked.

"Yeah isn't he like forty." Owen asked.

"He's 23 bastard. And no Josie, actually he wanted to come." Madison said.

"An older man who likes coming to kids parties, you sure know how to pick them Mads." Owen said.

Josie noticed something was going on with Madison and Owen and frowned. They both gave off subtle hints that they've might've dated but they never said for sure. Josie saw them talk in the halls a couple times before they became rangers. Josie sighed.

"Come on Perez let's go inside. Maybe we'll see Alex and his boyfriend stealing who-"

"Hi Josie!" A girl said.

Josie turned around to see Alex and his girlfriend Carrie. She smiled at them, however everyone glared at her. Except for Tiana who made sure to avoid Alex's eye contact. Alex noticed this and frowned. Carrie noticed this and frowned. Josie noticed this and grinned.

"I guess you're that who….I mean nice girl that Madison was telling us about." Calev said.

"Yes I'm Carrie, nice to meet you." Carrie saw Owen and glared at the white ranger.

"Hello Carrie." Owen weakly said.

"Hello Owen." Carrie said.

"I know I said I'd call but-"

"Wait you two know each other?" Alex asked.

"Why don't we go inside?" Tiana said eager to change to subject.

The rangers and their friends walked inside the house.


"No." Josie said firmly.

"Yes." Madison said.

"No."

"Yes."

"No."

"Yes."

"I will strangle you!" Josie yelled.

"Why don't we let Tiana decide since this involves her?" The girls turn to the shy yellow ranger who was watching the two girls argue.

"I mean karaoke sounds fun but what is the point of it?" Tiana said.

"To make our leader jealous by showing him how well you twerk and do other sexy dance moves." Madison said.

Josie face palmed. "It's official. You have lost your mind! We are not going on stage twerking at a Halloween Party, especially on my first date!"

"It's a majority rule and me and Tiana say yes Josephine. So woman up and grab a mic."

"Does anyone have any idea where the girls went?" Calev asked.

"Not clue."

Owen, Calev, Z, Jaxon, Carrie, and Alex sat on Ryan's couch which reeked of alcohol, urine, and puke.

"I wonder what Tiana is doing." Alex said.

He noticed Carrie glaring at him and said. "I mean what all the girls are doing."

"Sure you did." Jaxon said.

A loud thump was heard and the group all looked at the girls who were by the karaoke machine trying to get the mics to work.

"What song are we going to pick?" Tiana asked.

"Don't worry at all Pink Abstinence has this covered?" Madison grinned.

Owen was sitting on the couch recording them singing and dancing with his phone.

"What are you doing?" Calev asked.

"Do you think I' going to miss my chance to see Josie twerk? I saving this moment." Owen grinned.

"You have to admit, they did good. Right Alex." Carrie turned to Alex.

Only he wasn't listening. He was busy staring at Tiana dance. Their eyes locked for a moment and if felt like time slowed down. They didn't notice all the teens who were partying, they didn't have a care in the world.

"I'll be right back Carrie." Alex said.


After the song Madison went to the cooler to grab something to drink. There she saw Julia.

"Hey Mads, I've been looking for you everywhere! I got you a drink!" Julia said holding some beer.

"Jules you know I staying away from alcohol." Madison said sternly.

Madison didn't like how Julia was always trying to get her drunk. It went against her principals.

"Come on Mads, please just one drink? For old times' sake?"


Calev was talking with Jaxon and Z and was enjoying himself when his mind was invaded by a vison.

Calev stood in front of Ryan's house. There were cops cars and ambulances in the yard. Many teens were running around and screaming. Calev saw some of the rangers talking to cops and doctors. Many teens were crying and running around.

"What the hell?" Calev asked.


Josie and Owen sat in silence. The two didn't look at each other.

"Is it just me or was easier when we were frenemies to be around each other. Then it is now." Owen said.

Josie sighed and looked up at the starry sky. "Maybe we weren't meant to be together. I like you Owen…but we're rangers first. I don't know if we should let our feelings complicate us trying to save the world."

The two teens looked at each other. "So is this the end?" Owen asked.


Tiana just walked out of the bathroom when she was met by Alex.

"Hey Alex, I sorry about the song. It was Madison idea."

Alex ignored her and ran up to her and kissed her. Tiana widen her eyes in shock, but then kissed him back. She ran his fingers through his hair as he pushed her against the wall. Tiana then finally pushed away.

"We can't do this."


I know not everything happened like I said it would but my ideas changed so many concepts I said you would see in this chapter may appear later on.

Next time: A ranger is attacked, the team struggle with who to trust, Tiana makes a mistake, Jaxon is nowhere to found, and Calev's vison is starting to come true.
