Power Punks

Angel Grove Park

Angel Grove, California

Kim's POV

At the park, Jason and Zack were playing two on two against Billy and Tommy at a friendly game of basketball while Trini and Kimberly watched. Kimberly flushed every time she looked at Tommy and remembered how she had hung out on Tommy's porch with him; she had yet to tell anyone, even Trini, she was still trying to figure out her feelings on the matter. She had been honest with Tommy, he had nothing to apologize for, but she wasn't completely clear on how she felt about it. She couldn't seem to keep her gaze away from Tommy though.

"So what's going on with you and Tommy?" Trini asked.

"We finally hung out without being interrupted by Rita and Zordon," Kim whispered, not wanting to be overheard by the guys. They all knew Billy had a keen sense of hearing.

"So where did he take you?" Trini asked her.

"Um, nowhere. We just hung out at his house. I got tired of him spending money on food for me and then getting called away, wasting money.." she sighed, a little depressed at the thought but it was true, it was the first date that wasn't a date, and the only one that hadn't been interrupted by having to save the world. Every other date they went on, their communicators went off, although she did like being wined and dined, it was impossible with their duties as rangers.

"I'm so sorry, Kimberly," Trini said, agreeing with her. She would hate for that to happen to her. Would any of the rangers ever be able to have normal relationships? At least they didn't have to lie and make up excuses to each other since they were both power rangers.

"Maybe one day the monsters will slow down and Tommy and I can have a normal date. I just worry..."

"About what, Kim?" Trini asked, concerned.

"What would happen to the Rangers if anything happened between us?"

"Kim, is this about your parents?"

"Well, yeah, obviously. I mean there's my model for how relationships work and they don't. I really like Tommy and I enjoy…what we do. I wouldn't want that to change for either one of us."

"You worry too much, Kim…and Putties!" Trini screamed, warning the guys.

Billy's POV

Out of all the guys, Billy spent the most time with the girls with the exception of the new boyfriend/girlfriend pair. He wasn't oblivious to the looks Kim and Tommy had been sharing during their basketball game, which was probably one of the reasons they had lost to Zack and Jason. Tommy's head didn't really seem in the game and he had overheard Trini and Kimberly talking. He never was far away from listening to the sound of Trini's voice. He shook his thoughts from Trini as the putties began attacking and slipped into fighting stance. "Trini!" he screamed as he watched her take a hit. He was at her side, helping her up, maybe not as swiftly as Tommy, but not at a bad speed. Suddenly, they left and he was parched. He was still pretty new to using his muscles instead of his brains. He smiled as he noticed Kimberly at the water cooler pouring drinks, he took one and knocked it with Tommy's and Kimberly's and downed it. Suddenly, he felt the strangest sensation; he felt anger and resentment well up in him, against authority, against Zordon, and against any goody-goody that got in his way. He nodded and saw Kimberly and Tommy nod. "I'm getting out of here, are the rest of you coming?"

"Absolutely," Tommy replied, grabbing Kim's hand and leaving the rest of the rangers behind.

"These clothes have got to go," Kim added, looking down at her clothes. "This is just so preppy."

"And nerdy," Billy added as they headed to the mall.

"You guys ever heard of the five-finger discount," Tommy asked, with a smile. "We'll create a distraction. Get whatever you can," Tommy told Billy.

Tommy's POV

"What did you have in mind? I hope it's risky," Kimberly added with a laugh.

"You bet," Tommy added as he grabbed Kim by the waist. He grabbed a nearby scarf and tied her hands together.

"Kinky, lover," she added as she pressed a finger to his lips.

"That's the idea," he added, pulling her tied up hands against the nearest wall, he kissed her and pulled open her conservative top buttons flying everywhere as he devoured her mouth, keeping one eye on Billy as he snuck the clothes away, the cashiers attention on them, just like he planned. He watched as they rushed toward him.

"Excuse me sir, but you cannot behave like that in here."

"And whose going to stop me?" he asked pushing the cashier's chest. "You?" he laughed, "I didn't think so."

"Punch his lights out, handsome," she added, standing behind him.

"I should, but I'd rather handle the security guard. I'll show you how a real man gets the ladies," he added.

"Security," he heard and smiled. Perfect, Billy better get everything he wanted, or else. He faced the security guard and laughed. "You are such a dork," he told the security guard. "You are jealous because I'm the only one gonna get laid around here. Right, sweet cakes."

"Right, baby. I'm gonna rock your world."

Tommy watched Billy leave and smiled, "Let me just straighten your tie," he added and tapped his hat menacingly. "Come on, Kim; let's take this show on the road."

"You better be glad that my boyfriend has better things to do than to wring your scrawny little neck," she replied, following her boyfriend out. They met up with Billy and laughed. Look at what they had gotten from the stupid store! Those dorks were so stupid, Kim thought as she changed her clothes. She poked her head out and watched Tommy change into leather. He looked really hot in leather. She couldn't help but notice as she walked out half-dressed. She still had her jeans on from earlier.

"You look good enough to eat," she said as she handed him a stud to put in his ear. It was perfect.

"That is defiantly you. Do you think we should get tattoos?" she asked.

"Sounds good, what should we get?" she asked as he pulled her bra apart and looked inside.

"I better finish changing," she whispered as he put a pair of muscle gloves on. She pulled herself into a small, tight, leather skirt, high heels, and a leather tube top to match. Billy came out dressed in leather, chains and bandannas. Billy had decided he was going to steal a motorcycle or have someone steal one for him while Kim and Tommy got tattoos.

"What do you want?" Tommy asked Kim.

"I'm thinking a crane, right here," she added, pointing to right above her chest. "Did you know that it's a legend that a Crane and Falcon would mate for life."

"Then I'll get his mate, same place," Tommy added, "Get to it," he snapped. "We don't have all day."

"Yeah, I thought you guys were supposed to be tough, anyways? You aren't anything but a couple of dorks. And if it isn't right, we ain't paying," she added. She looked over at Tommy and winked, "How about you teleport on over tonight, and rub some cream on my tat," she added with a smile.

"Sounds like my kind of plan," Tommy grinned.

Jason's POV

Jason had thought that there was something a little odd about Billy, Kimberly, and Tommy, but he wouldn't know how weird until the next morning. He had heard of a strange shoplifting incident, he had never heard of such before. The store manager and security had said that they had been distracted by a disgruntled customer when it had to have happened. He had been some punk kid, but he hadn't been able to get a clear impression with his girlfriend hanging all over him, but still that didn't raise any alarms. The next morning however, Billy had ridden up in a motorcycle. He was dressed strange in shades of blue and leather, with chains and blue glasses. When Jason had come across him he had been threatening a kid for lunch money. "Go ahead, Shane, Billy doesn't mean it," Jason had replied, and the kid had scampered off. "What's gotten into you man?"

"Me? What's with you? Maybe I've just gotten tired of you bossing me around?" that had been odd, especially coming from Billy. He had been about to contact Zordon when he noticed Kimberly and Tommy. Kimberly was dressed, in a way that could only be described as slutty. It made his blood boil, what had Tommy done to her? She was wearing a leather skirt and heels so high he could barely see where they ended and her feet began. He had never seen his little sister dressed like that. She wore a pink leather top and he could see more than he had ever imagined seeing of Kim. Then he remembered Billy, and glanced at Tommy, he was sure Rita and not Tommy was behind this.

"They've turned punk on us," Trini stated from beside her. "I've got to talk to Billy." He watched as Billy made a grab for Trini, pulling her to him and she picked up a drink and poured in in his face.

"What happened?" he asked.

"He wants me to ditch school and come with him to ….to like make-out and whatever happens happens, you dig?" she mimicked.

"We need to contact Zordon and see if we can find anything."

"Agreed."
