So, this is a short chapter. I know there wasn't much action with Lord Zedd and his goons, but don't worry, it'll get there. This isn't just an action story. It's also Romance, so I have to add that type of drama too. It's really hard to do you know.

I don't own Power Rangers, like I've said ten times before.


It was actually really fun working with Kaitlyn, the little girl. We each taught each other different things, and it was obvious she took Karate very seriously. Ernie did interrupt me a few times thinking I took the Kachinko machine and threw it out after what happened this morning, but I didn't even touch the thing after I played that one time.

It was about an hour and a half later that Billy, Aisha, Kim and ugh, Rocky walked into the Youth Center. By then, I had already gotten Kaitlyn all ready for her belt test, but I think some extra practice would be beneficial. I was going to tell this to her, but I was interrupted by the Son of Satan.

"Hey Kaleb, I can take over from here." Rocky said, smiling at me, like nothing happened. I just glared at him, still feeling a sense of pride when I saw he still had the tissues in his nose. I looked to Kaitlyn, before looking back, "Are you sure? You don't want to have 'fun?'" I spat, making him flinch. Ah, can't take what he was dishing out, huh?

"Uh, no, I don't. I learned my lesson." He said, walking over to me. I shrugged, walking away as he came over. I roughly bumped him, walking past. The others looked at me in shock. "What happened between you two?" Aisha asked.

I shook my head, "Nothing." I muttered.

Billy sighed, "Something must've happened after I left. I don't think even Rocky could give himself a bloody nose."

I sighed, "He walked into a wall trying to have too much fun here." I continued muttering, looking over to see him working with Kaitlyn.

Kim didn't looked convinced. "Kaleb, can I talk to you? Alone?"

I nodded, getting up, "Yeah, sure."

She smiled, before standing up herself and leading me out into the hall where there wasn't anyone out there. She crossed her arms and gave me a stern look, "Okay, spill. What happened between you and Rocky? You guys are like best friends."

I glared at nothing, "Well, he was obsessed with a Pachinko machine, brushed off me, Billy and his student just to have fun, when Zordon called, Rocky gave a horrible attitude, he didn't care when I pretended to hurt myself and to top it all off, he called me a fag after pushing me into a wall!" I listed, my voice getting louder as I kept going.

Kim gasped, covering her mouth, "He didn't!"

I nodded, "Yep. So then I got up, punched him in the face and just left to talk with his student. I ended up preparing her for her belt test instead of her actual teacher." I explained, giving a little smirk when I talked about punching Rocky. It actually felt really good.

She thought for a minute, "Well, that explains the bloody nose." She shook her head, "Listen, it wasn't Rocky's fault. Lord Zedd put a spell on him so that he would only want to have fun."

I rolled my eyes, "Look, Kim, I get that you're his friend, but you don't have to lie to me, just to make him look better."

She looked me in the eye, "I'm dead serious! He didn't even fight when we had to. He just played around, laughing when one of us got hurt."

I just crossed my arms, "So you expect me to believe that Lord Zedd, evil mastermind out to destroy Earth, cast a spell on Rocky, only making him want to have fun? Tell me this Kim, how would that help him get closer to his goal of destroying said planet?" I asked, telling her my logic.

Kim thought for a minute, "Well, I don't know, but there must've been some reason."

I shook my head, "I'm sorry Kim, but I can't forgive him after this. What he called me just sealed the fact that he was never okay with me being the way I am."

Kim looked like she was about to pull her hair out, "Why are you getting so upset about Rocky? Would you have punched Tommy? Billy? Adam? Me?"

I shook my head, "Of course not! Rocky just was horrible and made me feel horrible about myself."

She just glared at me, "But why Rocky? Why are you so upset that it was him?"

I groaned, before opening my mouth again to speak, "Because I have a crush on him!"

I immediately covered my mouth as soon as I said that. Kim's eyes widened, telling me that she was not expecting that answer. Well this is just great Kaleb. First, your so called best friend calls you a fag and then you tell another one of your friends that you have a crush on said best friend. You are just having the best day ever, aren't you?

Kim just stood there, gaping at me, "No way. You have a crush on Rocky?" She asked slowly, probably to make sure she heard right. Well I can't deny it now, so I just nodded.

She bounced up and down trying to contain a very loud squeal. "Oh my god, that is just so cute! You and him, ugh, just kill me now!" I hit her arm lightly.

"Kim, did you not hear anything I just told you about what Rocky did to me today? Nothing will ever happen and I'm already over this damn crush." I lied. I wasn't over my crush, I was heartbroken. I was devastated on the inside, but I wasn't going to let anyone know that.

She sighed, "Yeah, I guess you're right. So, what are you going to do about the Rocky situation?"

I sighed, "Well, you don't need to worry about me picking fights with him. I'm just going to not even bother associating myself with him. If there's a problem, I'll bring myself to fight by his side, but I won't go looking for conversation with the guy." I told her.

Kim sighed, but nodded, "I understand. Well, you don't have to worry about me. I won't tell anyone, except maybe Aisha, but only because she'll want to know about your first crush in Angel Grove. I still can't get over it." She jumped up a bit, "Too bad he ruined it for you, because you would've been such a cute couple." She said.

I went as red as my former crush's power suit, making Kim laugh. I just crossed my arms, glaring at her as she just continued laughing. Sometimes, I wonder why I'm friends with the people I'm friends with.


That's that. Kaleb is done with Rocky, or is he? Kim knows, but will she tell anyone, other than Aisha? And what about Rocky? How does he feel about this? Tensions run high within the rangers.

Next time: The Rangers take the world by storm. They do a T.V. News Story about Education, but at a cost. They leave the city unprotected. So when Zedd sends Showbiz to destroy Angel Grove, it's only Kaleb who is available. Will he be able to hold off the monster until the Rangers are done with the story, or will he be 'cut' from the 'set'?

Hey, I'm getting good at doing these previews for the next episode. Tell me what you guys think of them. Thanks for reading!
