It was near 5 o'clock when Kim and Andrece got home; with both of them
needing to get ready to go out again they ate a quick meal of Kraft dinner
then went into Kim's room to pick out her outfit.
Searching through her closet Kim said over her shoulder, "It's been ages since Tommy and I have gone or done anything without the gang. I mean it's not like I don't like having them around but like we do need some time alone you know?"
Andrece sat down on Kim's unmade bed and nodded. "I like jumped at the chance to go out with just him even if it is to that new kung fu comedy 'Bullet proof Monk'. At least it's something." Kim took out a pink flowered dress from her closet and turned to Andrece, "What cha think?"
Andrece shook her head, "Too girlish for a guy's movie. What's wrong with just jeans and a tee again?"
Kim sat down next to her friend, "That is just too casual.I know! This blouse with those new jeans of mine. You think?"
"Great idea, it's a combo of the semi formal dress style and the casual jeans."
Kim started fussing with her hair after laying her clothes on her bed where she had been sitting. She glanced over at the clock, "You should be getting ready too. It's almost 6:30."
"Are you serious?" Kim nodded, "Well then I guess I have a half hour before I have to be there."
"You're not going to put something a bit more uh dressed up on?"
Andrece shook her head, "As I said before this is not a date, and it is just Jason. Besides what's wrong with what I have on?" Andrece stood and twirled about, Kim looked over her friends form fitting faded blue jeans and the white tank top.
Kim smiled, "Nothing." Kim turned back to her clothes as Andrece headed towards the bedroom door, "Drece? Remember he's been though a lot." Andrece gave her friend a confused look. "I mean his emotions may be a little outta whack."
"I know, I did go through the same stuff he did." Kim nodded and watched her friend shut her bedroom door. 'I tried to warn her.' She thought to herself as she started to change.
Andrece arrived at the Scott's house two minutes before seven. Walking up the drive way she was overcome with sudden nervousness. 'Relax girl, it's only Jason. And it's not a date!'
She rang the doorbell and moments later it was opened by Jason. "Hey Drece you're right on time. Come on in." She stepped inside and looked around. It seemed different to her knowing that his parents weren't there.
"You want a drink?" She shook her head no. "Okay come on into the living room."
She silently followed him her eyes taking in every detail of his home. "W- what class is this project for?" she surprised herself with the stammer. 'RELAX GIRL!!' she mentally screamed at herself.
Jason appeared not to notice her flaw in speaking, "Uh English Media, I have to finish designing a poster for a fake movie."
Jason sat down alone one side of the low coffee table and her on the other. The table top was covered with a sheet of Bristol board and various cutouts from magazines. "What cha got so far?" He held up the Bristol board which had the title of the fake movie written across the top in bold black letters. "Okay so let's start."
It was close to two hours later when the project was finally finished. "It looks great Drece, thanks for the help. I was clueless on the idea of design."
"No problem, it was fun." She replied.
"So how about that movie?" Jason stood stiffly; he walked over to the bookcase where they stored their videos. "What do you want to watch?"
Andrece followed him over, she ran her eyes across the titles, "I don't care. You pick."
"Okay." Jason scanned the titles and plucked one off the shelves. "How about this one 'Water World'?"
"Sure haven't seen that one yet." Andrece wandered back to the couch and sat down. Jason started the movie and joined her. He sat down with the arm of the couch on his right and Andrece on his left.
She noticed his gait as he walked. It wasn't as smooth as normal. "How's the ribs?" she asked leaning closer.
"Uhh.not bad I guess. Actually they are fine."
"Nice try liar. If they were fine then you would be walking like normal and you're not so therefore they must still hurt."
Jason sighed, Andrece was more perspective then anyone else he knew. She could tell you're emotion by the way you walked into a room. There was no sense in telling her otherwise because she always knew. "Okay yes, they still hurt, but it's not that bad."
Andrece folded her arms across her chest still not believing. Then finally she released a pent up breath, "Fine what ever you say." She turned to face him, her left hand resting on his injured ribs. "I just don't like seeing you hurt Jason. And knowing that I caused you pain doesn't help much either."
Jason was about to reply when the familiar six tone signal interrupted. Jason raised his wrist to his lips, "We read you Zordon. What's up?"
Jason, the Harpy is attacking the Angel Grove Mall. I want you and Andrece to hold her off until I can contact the other rangers.
"Understood, we're on our way." Jason stood quickly, "I guess we'll watch the movie another time."
"I suppose."
"It's morphin time!" they yelled in unison.
"Tyrannosaurs!"
"Silver Guardian Emerge!"
The two rangers arrived at the city mall to bare witness to the havoc one monster could bring. Store front windows were shattered, tables and benches thrown about. In the eye of unnatural hurricane stood the Harpy, she stalked towards a small group of civilians who were cowering near the water fountain.
"Hold it right there bird brain!" yelled Jason as he and Andrece stepped closer to their enemy. "Why don't you pick on someone who can defend themselves?"
The harpy turned, a wicked smile spread across her lips, "And by that comment you mean you?" she cackled. "Oh please, the little red ranger and who are you?" she asked shocked by the sight of the Silver ranger.
"Your worst nightmare, now back off from those people." Andrece ordered.
"I new ranger won't help you red one."
Jason looked from Andrece to the harpy, "She's not a new ranger. Now back off!"
Slowly the harpy turned to face the rangers enough that the innocent people could scamper to safety. She stood her full height of a full head taller than Jason, and spread her powerful wings wide. She drew her sword from its scabbard and then took up a defensive stance. "Let's see how well you two can fare against me."
Both rangers called for their power weapons, Jason his sword, Andrece her staff. Together working as one they readied themselves for battle. Andrece's mind flashed back to the fight in the Youth Center, the replaying of the fight and the surrounding crowd wandered through her thoughts. The was something familiar about this creature standing before her. But only what could it be?
