Disclaimer: It's not my playground, I just play here with everyone else, cuz it's fun!

AN: Here's chapter 16! Hope you enjoy and please leave a review! Also, for the purpose of this story, the rangers have not met Dulcea yet. They use the powers of the Ninja and will be upgrading to the powers of the Ninjetti, so I will be creating some significant differences between the powers. The song is When I saw You, by Mariah Carey. And Harry and Karyn know that I've already used this song in my Entwined Destinies series, but this song just fits Billy and Kat so well, so I used it in this story too. Anyway, on with the story!

Dreams of a Cat and a Wolf

Chapter 16: When I Saw You

"NO!!!!" Billy screamed, as he bolted upright in bed.

"Shhh...Billy it was just a nightmare," Kat consoled, as she wrapped her arms around his neck. Billy gulped air into his lungs and looked over at her.

"What were you dreaming about?" Kat asked.

"I was back on Cyrius, reliving the torture they put me through," Billy said.

Soft heavenly eyes gazed into me

Transcending space and time

And I was rendered still

There were no words for me to find at all

As I stood there beside myself

I could see you and no one else

"It's going to take time to get over what they did to you, but I'll be here every step of the way," Kat told him.

"Have I told you how beautiful I think you are?" Billy asked her.

"Changing the subject are we?" Kat replied.

"Only when the subject needs changing," Billy replied.

"Yes, we definitely need to change it," Kat said, as snuggled close to him and they lay back down.

When I saw you

When I saw you

I could not breathe, I fell so deep

When I saw you

When I saw you

I'd never be, I'd never be the same

"Last night was so amazing," Kat told him, as she rested her head on his chest.

"Yes it was," Billy replied, as he kissed the top of her head. At that moment, they heard a knock at their door.

"As much as I hate to interrupt you two lovebirds, you should probably get cleaned up. Trey says we'll be arriving on earth in an hour," Trini called.

"Thanks Trini," Billy called back.

"Do you want the shower first?" Billy asked.

"Hmmm...What I really want is someone to wash my back and maybe a few other places," Kat replied.

"I think I can help with that," Billy answered, as they headed for the bathroom.

~*~*~*

An hour later, Pyramidus docked in the zord hangar, and the residents teleported to the power chamber, where the other rangers were ready to greet them.

"Oh, it's so good to see that you're all okay!" Kim greeted.

"It's good to be home," Billy replied. Shortly after that, Trey boarded Pyramidus and left for Triforia, but not before saying goodbye to his new allies and friends.

~*~*~*

Things returned to normal once again and school resumed after a nice Easter break.

"I never thought I'd be glad to be back at school," Billy said, as he and Kat walked arm in arm through the hall. Kat kissed his cheek.

"It'll be even better when it's the weekend and we'll get to spend the entire two days together," Kat said.

"Yeah, especially since my dad is out of town this weekend," Billy replied. Kat smiled, as they entered Ms. Applebee's class arm in arm. They took their seats and waited for Ms. Applebee to start class.

"Today, we will be starting our last and final project of the school year. Here in a moment, each lady in the room will select a young man's name out of this basket. The young man you select will be your husband for this project. Each couple will be given a different budget and different job descriptions and your project is to make it all work." Ms. Applebee explained, as she came to Aisha, who was the first to choose. She looked over at Rocky and saw that his fingers were crossed. She chose and looked at the slip of paper.

"Who is your partner Aisha?" Ms. Applebee asked.

"Adam Park," Aisha answered, as she smiled and shrugged at Rocky. Rocky gave her wink, knowing that she'd be okay doing the project with one of her best friends. Kimberly was next. She drew and her face became crestfallen, as she looked at the name.

"Skull," Kim stated. Skull did his dopey laugh and Kim rolled her eyes. Next was Tanya. She chose and smiled, realizing that her partner was at least a friend.

"Rocky DeSantos," Tanya answered. Carrie Lawrence, the most popular and snobby girl in school chose next.

"Tommy Oliver," she announced. Tommy wrinkled his nose, since this meant he would be spending time with a very spoiled and shallow girl. Next, Violet chose, and she beamed happily as she read the name.

"Billy Cranston," she announced happily. Billy's eyes widened in horror. He was not thrilled about the idea of having to spend time with the girl who was obsessed with him.

Kat was the final to choose and she knew who her partner was by process of elimination.

"Bulk," Kat said, as she read the final name. After that, Ms. Applebee passed out the information packets and project descriptions and the bell rang.

"This project is due on the day of finals in one month, so get started," Ms. Applebee announced, as students filed out.

"This is going to be the worst project ever," Billy said.

"You're telling me," Kat replied.

"I'm so excited about working on this project with you Billy. Shall we get together after school and start?" Violet asked.

"Well Violet, it's a Friday and Kat and I have plans this weekend," Billy said.

"But we need to get started," Violet said, as she glared at Kat.

"Listen, how about you two start the project and I can get together with my partner. And then I'll be over around 7," Kat told him, her eyes promising to make it up to him. Billy nodded, as he and Violet left for his house.

~*~*~*

"Well, I suppose we should start by dissecting the budget for things we need like a house and cars," Billy said, as he began sifting through papers. But Violet could only stare at him. Billy sighed irritably.

"Violet, I can't work well with you constantly staring at me," Billy told her.

"I'm sorry Billy; it's just that I've admired you from afar for so long," Violet replied.

"I don't want to hurt your feelings Violet, but I'm in love with Kat. And I'd really appreciate it if you'd accept that. I'm sorry that it didn't work out between us," Billy said.

"You never gave the relationship a chance," Violet retorted, as she began to work. Billy suppressed an irritated growl, and began working on the project.

~*~*~*

Meanwhile, Bulk and Kat began their project at the youth center. The others were there, avoiding the prospect of working on their projects.

"We got quite a bit done, so how about we quit for today," Kat suggested, as she saw that it was 5:30.

"Got a hot date tonight?" Bulk asked with a smile. Kat smiled back.

"As a matter of fact, yes. I have to go home and get ready and then pry Violet off my boyfriend," Kat said. Kat found that Bulk was a sweet guy and there was more to him than a lot of people usually saw. She was quickly becoming good friends with the husky teen. Bulk chuckled.

"Okay, see ya later. I have to go pry my best friend away from Kimberly, before Tommy hurts him too bad," Bulk replied. Kat waved and left the youth center.

~*~*~*

About seven, Kat arrived at Billy's house and knocked. Billy answered the door and whisked her inside.

"I am very glad to see you," Billy said.

"That's good to know. Is she gone?" Kat asked.

"Not yet, but she's packing up her stuff. What's in the sack?" Billy asked.

"Fresh strawberries and lots and lots of whipped cream," Kat said in a sultry voice, as she went into the kitchen. Billy blushed and quickly ushered Violet out the door.

~*~*~*

Violet left Billy's house, but found her fried Abby outside waiting for her.

"So, how was the afternoon with Billy?" she asked.

"Not so good, I told him that I liked him, but all he can think about is her," Violet said.

"Violet, if you want him, then you need to fight for him," Abby said.

"Hello Abby, he's completely hooked on that little Aussie bitch," Violet spat.

"Come on, let's have some fun," Abby said, as she pulled out a camcorder.

"What are you going to do with that?" Violet asked.

"We're going to spy on them and get a little dirt," Abby said, as they turned back toward the Cranston house.

~*~*~*

"Tengus, go and stir up some trouble in Angel Grove. The blue rangers are at Billy's house and the others are nearby in the park," Vile ordered.

The Tengus obeyed and teleported down.

~*~*~*

"Mmmm..." Billy said as he bit into the strawberry. He and Kat were on the couch and he was lying with his head in her lap.

"Are you just going to lay here all night and make me feed you strawberries?" Kat asked, with a quirked eyebrow.

"Sure," Billy replied. Their moment was interrupted by the sound of their communicators.

"This is Billy," he answered.

"Hey Bill, this is Tom. We're outside your house here and we need help with the Tengus," Tommy said.

"We're coming Tommy," Billy said, as he and Kat dashed out of the house.

~*~*~*

"What are these things?" Abby asked, as she and Violet hid in a bush.

"I don't know, but look!" Violet pointed at the seven people that were gathering together. She recognized them as Tommy, Kim, Adam, Rocky, Aisha, Billy, and Kat.

"They're crazy for trying to fight those things, this should be good," Abby said, as she hit the record button and began taping them. But what happened next would shock the life out of them both.

"Let's not take any chances guys!" Tommy called, as he saw a band of cogs appear.

"It's Morphin Time!" Tommy called.

"White Falcon!" Tommy called.

"Black Frog!" Adam called.

"Pink Crane!" Kim called.

"Yellow Bear!" Aisha called.

"Red Ape!" Rocky called.

"Blue Wolf!" Billy and Kat called.

The two girls gasped in amazement and Abby kept filming.

"This is better dirt than I ever thought possible," Abby commented.

"No kidding, I can't believe that they're the power rangers," Violet replied.

The rangers finished off the menace and quickly demorphed.

"I wonder what that was about?" Adam asked.

"Probably Vile trying to spoil my time with Kat," Billy mumbled.

"Guess we'll see you two later. Zordon is teleporting Jason, Zack, and Trini back to Switzerland in the morning, so we'll see at the power chamber then," Tommy said.

"K, bye guys!" Billy called.

"So, shall we get back to where we left off wolf boy?" Kat asked. Billy smiled.

"Lead the way angel girl," Billy replied, as they went back inside.

"They are so disgusting. She just hangs all over like he's her property," Violet huffed.

"Let them screw each other all weekend. But come Monday, we'll show them the dirt and I bet they'll do anything to keep their secret," Abby said. Violet nodded and the girls left.

~*~*~*

"Now, let's get back to what we were doing," Kat said, as she wrapped her arms around his neck and kissed him.

Only once in a lifetime love rushes in

Changing you with the tide

And dawn's ribbon of light

Bursts through the dark

Wakening you inside

And I thought it was all untrue

Until there all at once I knew

When I saw you

When I saw you

I could not breathe, I fell so deep

When I saw you

When I saw you

I'd never be, I'd never be the same

She looked into his eyes with a deepening want and love. His eyes mirrored hers, as he hoisted her into his arms. She wrapped her legs around his waist and devoured his lips in a zealous kiss. Billy carried her upstairs to the bedroom, each of them forgetting everything and everyone else for that night.

With no beginning and

Without an end

You are the one for me

It's evident

And your eyes told me so

Your eyes let me know...

When I saw you

When I saw you

I could not breathe, I fell so deep

When I saw you

When I saw you

I'd never be, I'd never be the same

~*~*~*

Zedd, Rita, Master Vile, Rito, and Goldar teleported to the empty construction site. It was dark and everyone had gone home for the day.

"After searching for two thousand years for it, it is fitting that these stupid humans would uncover it," Vile said. Zedd zapped the clawed hand holding the giant purple egg in place with his staff. The claw released it and Zedd cracked the egg. It split in half and revealed a puddle of oozing liquid.

"You've been looking two thousand years for a tub of snot!" Rita snapped.

"Be quiet Rita," Vile ordered, as the ooze began to form and take shape into a humanoid form.

"Ladies and gentlemen! The ooze is back!"

Ivan Ooze, one of the most evil entities known, was free.
