Disclaimer: I don't own the Power Rangers. So don't try to buy them from me. Please don't get all offended because I mocked your favorite Ranger. I try to mock them all. Besides, it's just for fun. I really do enjoy the show :). 'Hi" to all from AFPR…especially my fellow Psychos. Please let me know if I make any errors. I have no difficulty with receiving constructive criticism. Thanks to Joe Rovang and SirStack for their Writer's Guide to the Power Rangers Universe, which I rely on a lot. Also thanks to the makers of the Power Rangers Central Database.

This is story number 49. It was requested by Jasalicious. I put in two other stories just before this one, so be sure to read those as well, thanks.
Alyssa and Cole
By
Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)
Alyssa hummed to herself as she brushed her dark hair. It had taken him five years, but Cole had finally asked her out on a date. The young kindergarten teacher paused in thought. Not that she had expected it. She hadn't heard from him since they had all gone their separate ways after Master Org's defeat. But the dripping wet note that she had extracted from the mouth of the baboon that had appeared at her bedroom window earlier in the week was proof that he hadn't forgotten her after all.
"Knock, knock, knock."
"That must be him!" squealed the former White Wild Force Ranger. She ran out of the room eagerly but when she reached the stairs she forced herself to slow down. After all, Cole had made her wait for five years….five long, long years of her pining for his sorry ass. She had thought that he was going to ask her out during that picnic. After all, the scene was romantic enough. Wes and Jen were constantly making out in the bushes. Lucas and Nadira were making out in front of a tree they had tied Max to. Eric and Taylor were kicking each other's butts, in between make out sessions. All that should've given Cole the hint, but it never did. "So!" she angrily snapped as she yanked open the door. "If you think a drooling monkey is going to be enough to." She stopped when she realized that no one was there.
Knock, Knock, Knock! Crash!"
Alyssa ran upstairs to her bedroom. There among glass fragments from her former window stood Cole. Well, actually there slouched Cole.
"Cole? What the hell are you doing?" asked Alyssa.
Cole held out a ragged bouquet of wildflowers. "For pretty woman. Cole pick pretty flowers. Cole climb wall. Cole avoid demon door." The former Red Wild Force Ranger then jumped onto the dresser and crouched as he began playing with Alyssa's hair. "Now Cole and woman can go swing vines, build hut, have many babies." He pulled out a banana and ripped the peel off. He began smushing the fruit in his hand and then took a bite. "Want some?" he asked as he offered the rest of the gooey mess to her.
"Ewww, no!" Alyssa pulled away, grimacing as she noticed he only had on a pair of tattered sorts. "Why are you acting so weird?" she asked. She knew Cole was a jungle boy, but this was ridiculous.
"Cole spend much time among animal friends. Cole learn their ways. Cole hunt with them, sleep with them, mate…oh hell," he blurted as he broke out into a laugh. "I just can't say it." He pulled his cell phone out of his pocket. "Max, you win. I just can't finish this. Yeah, she's staring at me like I've got two heads. Now she's stepping back. Now she's…"
"Heeeyyyyaaaahhh!" screamed Alyssa as she high kicked Cole off her dresser. "Clean this mess up and go home, you jerk! How dare you pretend you wanted to date me just so you could play some sick joke on me! And you owe me for that window!"
"Not really said Cole as he closed the still intact window. He began picking up the pieces of glass he had scattered on the floor. "You don't think I'd really be stupid enough to go through a closed widow, do you?" He pointed to the ladder leaning outside the window and the tape recorder on the top rung.
Alyssa glared at him again. The she let loose with a flurry of karate chops, knocking her would be boyfriend around the room. Her honorable father wouldn't be too happy with her using her skills like this. But, then again, honorable or not, he was still a father who'd want her to defend herself against whackos who break into her bedroom. "I thought you wanted me," she cried as she attacked. "I thought we were finally going on a date!"
"Ow, ow, ow!" Cole ducked into the closed and held the door closed. "I thought Taylor was the uptight butt kicker. Where's your sense of humor?" Damn that Max anyway for his stupid idea. He had been fine with staying away from Alyssa. She was sweet and all, but there was only one female Ranger for him; a soul mate of sorts. He would soon have enough saved to travel to Mirinoi to be with Maya and talk to the animals with her. There was no response from Alyssa. For several minutes, Cole could hear her opening and closing some drawers.
"Oh, so you want me to have a sense of humor?" asked Alyssa casually; a bit too casually to Cole's ears.
"Uh…" the closet door was suddenly yanked open and Cole found himself being dragged out by his arm. He gaped when he saw the outfit Alyssa had changed into.
"Since you like to play pretend, so do I." Alyssa grinned maliciously at him. She had on a starched white long sleeved blouse that was buttoned up to the neck and a long dark black skirt. She wore a gray haired wig that was up in a strict bun. She had an old pair of glasses, some fake warts, and a fake pointy nose on her face. She held something behind her back.
"Oooh, is this going to be kinky?" asked Cole.
"If you think being dragged around to all the sports bars and motorcycle joints around Turtle Cove is kinky…" Alyssa swiftly slipped a choke chain over Cole's head. "Well, then be my guest!" She had hoped to eventually use the chain on him in a more 'pleasing' activity. But he had blown that opportunity. "Now, come…"
"Yeeep!" yelped Cole as Alyssa yanked on the leash she had attached to the chain. He desperately attempted to pull it off.
"Forget it, Monkey Boy. That stays on or I kick your ass again." She smiled as he stopped struggling. "That's better. Hhmmmmm, I think I'll call you Bobo. Come with me, Bobo," she said as she dragged Cole of the room and down the stairs. "Teacher's got to give you a lesson you'll never forget."
"Noooo!" cried Cole as he was dragged out the front door. "I'm sorry! I'm sorry! I won't ever do it again! Please don't make me go! I don't wanna get pounded by some motorcycle goons!"
Alyssa paused. Then she yanked a cell phone out of her skirt pocket. "Hey, Taylor, your idea worked! Yeah, he's still got the collar on. Yeah, he's staring at me. Yeah, I think he's an idiot, a cute idiot, but an idiot nonetheless. Yeah, I'll keep working on him. He'll be mine whether he likes it or not." She kept talking as she went back into the house, closing the door on Cole.
"Well, that's a relief," sighed Cole as he pulled the chain off his neck. If he hurried, he could get back to his apartment in time to watch the game. Then he paused in thought. Actually, it had been fun being around Alyssa. Maybe he could ask her on a real date after all. But first, he'd better hurry down to the store and get a large bunch of roses or something to make up for his trick. Yeah, then she'd fall in love with him. Cole turned around, and walked right into a bunch of motorcyclists. "Uh, I was just kidding about the goon crack…honest! Aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhh!" he yelled as ran away from the pursuing gang.
AN: Yeah, this one was weird. Sorry, that's just what came to my brain. Just one more to complete this set of stories. Then I'll start on a fourth set. Whoohoo! But I'll be going to Virginia for the rest of the week, so I won't be posting any stories until I come back.
