Disclaimer : Yeah, they're all mine, mine I say! Ok…look, we all know I don't own a damn thing when it comes to the Power Rangers, never did and never will, but I can dream…right? Right? I could own Tommy and Rocky, but Irina would own Jason and Kris would own Billy…*sighs* If only dreams did come true…someday maybe, but as of the present, na-uh, not a thing.

A/N : Hey all, this has completely nothing at all to do with my other story (stories), whatever the case may be. I received a challenge from Hartfelt, it seems she thinks I cannot write a fic without having a single accident, whether it be by car, boat or some other means of destruction. This is to prove her wrong (I hope). Shall we see if Miss Wild-Melody (that would be myself) can write a simple fic without any forms of mass destruction in them? This should be interesting.

I was given a few basic guidelines to go by…

It has to have Trini and Billy as a couple (I can handle that! But alas, what about poor Jason? Don't worry, he'll find his match in the form of a young woman named Riana.)

No accidents, of course (Ahhh, she's killing me, absolutely killing me!)

They are still Rangers, Ninjetti with their spirit animals (Not a problem, I mean come on! Wild-Melody knows her spirit animals after all.)

No accidents of any kind (oh, I mentioned that already. I think I'm repeating that more for my own benefit than yours, maybe then I'll actually remember that simple yet difficult rule)

My simple rule, and I told her this repeatedly, I absolutely am NOT putting Rocky with anyone other than Isabel, so you will see her appear in this fic as well, but remember, this fic has nothing, I mean absolutely nothing, to do with 'The Hardest Thing I Ever Did' Series.

*Author grumbles to herself* No accidents? YEESH! What does she think I am, a miracle worker? I mean, come on, accidents and Wild-Melody go together like…um, well accidents and Wild-Melody! Did I ever tell you readers I managed to have 11 accidents within a two and a half year time period? What does that tell you? I know my accidents! Ok, and I'm a bad driver…but we won't go there! Ok, well, now that you've had your laughs (at my expense I might add) onto the story…

Oops, one more note, I'm rewriting history here, Zordon is still around as is the Command Center, it's still in one piece. Ok, now on with the story…oh, oh and oh again, and there may be other pieces of history rebuilt and warped in areas of the story…if so and they are not noted as being changed, just ignore my lack of whatever it is I might have been lacking at the moment of writing. *Blinks* Um, did that even make any sense? I 'spose not, I'm listening to the soundtrack to the Lord of the Ring right now so not much may make sense as my mind wonders…very, very, very far away…Ok, now onto the story, hope you enjoy.

THE POWER RANGERS IN :

NO ACCIDENTS (Have you any idea how many times I'm going to mention this, just so I can get it through my thick skull?)

Ok, actual story title…um, we didn't discuss a title here Hartfelt!

TWO SIDES OF A COIN

PART 1 : JUST LIKE ANY OTHER DAY (If you don't like the title, oh well! Was never discussed so it's my brainchild! *Evil laughter*)

Prologue : Just like any other day (Introduction to the characters…some of them at least)

The destruction to the city was not bad, at least for how long the battle had raged on. It had continued for what seemed like an eternity to the Rangers, but had only been the briefest of half hours. The Falconzord flew high above the city as its pilot surveyed what little damage there was to the city below him. A few fires here and there, but the damage doesn't seem to be that extensive, Tommy thought to himself. A few of the city's building had caved in on themselves and debris littered the roadways, but the damage was not as bad as what had been wrought in previous battles. "What's it look like?" The question crackled over his comm unit, the speaker being Aisha.

"Nothing major," he told the girl, as he continued to eye the destruction far below. "It's not actually too bad, I was fearing a lot worse, but this isn't that bad." He guided the zord into a tight turn and headed out to where the rest of the Rangers waited with their zords. "I actually think the rescue personnel will be able to handle it without any help from us this time around."

"That's good to know," Kim's voice came over the frequency. "We should probably hurry and return to the Command Center," she paused in her thoughts, "I think the Cranezord suffered some minor damage-" She was cut off by Tommy.

"How bad?" The worry was already evident in his tone.

"Nothing serious," she answered, her voice soothing, knowing he was worrying about her safety. She had only took a small hit to the head, nothing for him to worry about, or even know about for that matter. "The stabilizers were out momentarily." She paused, as if in thought. "I think it was that last hit I took, it probably knocked something out."

Billy's voice came over the unit, briefly overlapping Kim's last few words, "I'll check it out as soon as we get the Zords back to the bay. Your stabilizers were probably knocked out but power should have been rerouted through the auxiliary stabilizers."

"Um…yeah," Kim said, her vision clouded momentarily and a dizziness swept over her.

"Back up systems," Aisha said, hiding Kim's brief pause, knowing Tommy would pick up on it and ask if she were all right..

"Kind of figured that," Kim responded, and gave her friend the briefest of smiles, silently thanking her. Tommy didn't need to be worrying about her needlessly after all.

"I'm coming in for a landing," Tommy said once he had spotted the other Zords, sitting just outside of Angel Grove, far enough out so as not to be spotted by unwanted eyes.

~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~ ~~~~

"I can't believe we're finally going home!" Zack said to his friends as their plane jerked, it's landing gear being swallowed up within the bowels of the giant metal bird. The seat belt sign near the cockpit of the plane winked off and Zack sighed in relief. He had his seat belt off in record time, and silently watched as his friends slowly removed theirs'.

"The others will be surprised," Trini said from her seat between Jason and Zack. They hadn't told any of the others that they were coming home, it was to be a surprise. She leaned forward and looked over at the young woman sitting on the other side of Jason. "You'll like it in Angel Grove Riana, I promise."

Riana, known as Ree by her friends, looked at Trini skeptically. "Don't make promises you can't keep Trini," she said quietly, her blue-gray eyes smiled in spite of the harsh sounding words.

Trini smiled back, "It's a promise I know I can keep, Ree," she said. "You'll love Angel Grove, it's nothing at all like New York City."

"How would you know?" Zack piped up, "Have you ever been to New York City?"

"Ask a dumb question, receive an even dumber answer." Trini said as she turned her gaze to look at her dark skinned friend.

Zack just looked at her, unsure of how to take her answer.

"Besides which, you already know the answer to your question. Of course I haven't been to New York City before. I just believe that Ree will like Angel Grove a lot more than she does New York City, that's all."

"Of coarse she'll like Angel Grove, I'll be there," Jason said as he smiled his most charming smile toward their friend.

Riana raised an eyebrow at him and a smirk crossed her face, "And that's suppose to mean what?" She asked, running a hand through her black hair, the light from the plane's cabin bouncing off of the purple highlighted streaks.

The smile quickly fell from Jason's face and a look of pure confusion crossed his dark features. He'd never had so much trouble with a girl before…one minute she'd seem interested, and in the next minute she'd be as cold as ice. He just couldn't figure her out.

Riana playfully hit his arm, "It'll be nice to have you around Jase," she said to him and smiled.

The smile lit up her face and eyes and Jason felt his heart skip a beat with the beauty he saw mirrored there below the surface. Does she know how beautiful she is? Jason wondered to himself as he continued to stare into her bluish-gray eyes, unable to tear his gaze away…or perhaps it was that he didn't want to.

The moment was lost as Riana turned her head to look over at Trini, but Jason didn't hear a word of their conversation, his mind was to wrapped up in the beauty sitting next to him.

"Mom, is it all right if I call Kat?" Isabel Bryant yelled through the house.

"Keep it down, would ya sis?" her twin sister Brenda said from the far corner of the bedroom. She was sprawled on the bed on her back, her portable CD player cranked up as loud as it would go and a magazine held up in front of her. One foot draped over the side of the bed, tapping rhythmically with the thumping of the music she was listening to. Her other foot was wedged in between the dividers of the foot board of the bed.

"What time is it?" came their mother's voice from out in the kitchen.

"Here or there?" Isabel asked, a smart ass smile playing across her lips. She sat at the computer desk in her and Brenda's room, the computer screen dark before her. Her blue eyes sparkled in the fading light of approaching dusk, the sun just dipping down below the distant mountains.

"Isabel Caroline Bryant!" her mother yelled, "You know exactly what I meant!"

"What was the question again?" Isabel asked, trying not to smile, but doing a poor job of it. She was trying to annoy her mother and both mother and daughter knew it.

"Whether or not you can call Kat," her mother stated, her voice dangerously close to the twins' room.

"I don't…know…can…" the question died away as the door to the room slowly squeaked open to reveal their mother standing there in the doorway, an angry look crossing her features.

"Isabel Bryant, I AM not in the mood for your jokes at the moment. What time is it in the United States? You may call your cousin if it's not to late…preferably not after 9." Her mother's blue eyes were glacial, telling the young woman that her mother was indeed not in a good mood and now was not the time for jokes.

Isabel glanced at the clock on her bed stand, it read just after 8 in the evening. "It'll be about 8 in the morning there…is it all right to call?"

"Yes," her mother said, the answer was curt and to the point. Debra Bryant was in a bad mood, and Isabel only hoped that neither she nor her twin sister Brenda, or their brother Donny were the cause of it.

"What's eating her?" Brenda asked from her bed, once their mother had left, closing the door behind her as she fairly stalked from the twin's room. Brenda's long blond hair spilled down over her shoulders and stray strands fell down before her eyes, but she made no move to push them out of her way. Her green-blue eyes met the crystal blue eyes of her sister.

"How should I know?" Isabel asked. Her hair was just as long as her sister's, but far blonder and pulled into a half pony tail low on her head. "Maybe Donny got into some kind of trouble yet again."

"Then why would she be taking it out on you?" Brenda asked, putting her magazine down and sitting up to look at her sister.

"Again, how should I know? I'm not a mind reader you know."

"Whatever," her sister replied, picked her magazine back up and reclined back on her bed once again.

This is just the beginning to a story that should prove to be interesting and full of twists and turns. I haven't forgotten about my other story, so don't worry. I'm still in a serious case of writer's block where that one is concerned. If you like this story so far, leave me a review and let me know…this is just the first part of what will turn out to be a trilogy, each part becoming more complexing than the next. I hope to ensnare you in a story of mysteries, unknown dangers and compelling intrigues…let me know if it works.

Please remember to review.

Wild-Melody

Oh, and thanks go out to ScarletDeva for her help with titling the trilogy and ideas for the basis of this story. Thanks also go to Hartfelt for challenging me to this story, without her, this would never have been. Hope all enjoy!
