Disclaimer:  I don't own Power Rangers.  Someone else does.  I don't know who because it keeps changing.  Please don't get offended if I insult your favorite character.  Some pairings are easy to write a story for while others are really tough.  So please realize that some of my stories will be better than others.  Hi to all my fellow AFPR's including my fellow female Psychos :).  And I really appreciate the reviews :).

Note:  Ok, I guess this is more Zen-Aku than Merrick, but they're both the same to me.  I don't remember exactly how he was frozen so allow me some artistic license with the stone statue thing.  Rated PG13 for some suggestive language at the end.

Katie And Merrick

By

Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)

    Kate sighed in boredom as she finished dusting the stone statues.  "I can't believe I drew the short straw for this dull job," she mumbled to herself.  Someone had come into Nick of Time looking to hire someone to clean a bunch of large rocks outside the city of Turtle Cove.  Of course they needed the work.  And Jen, who had taken the order, never noticed the large horn growing out of the customer's head.  She had been too busy alternately carving Jen n' Alex and Jen n' Wes into the desktop…crossing each one out as she started on a new one.

     "Why would anyone want these cleaned anyway?"  Kate sighed.  Oh, well, at least they would have enough money for groceries and to buy polish for Lucas' mirrors and Trip's forehead gem.  Now all she had to do was wait for Lucas to pick her up. 

     She sat on one stone for several minutes.  But she was still bored.  "Hmmm," she thought.  "I wonder if I could bench press that statue over there."  She went to the statue and picked it up.  Lying on her back, she began to heave it up and down.

     "Hey, cut it out!" growled a gravelly voice.  "You're getting me dizzy."

     Katie leapt up at the voice, dropping the statue and chipping it on the bottom as she did so.

     "Yeeeoowwcchh, my toes!" came the voice again, this time in pain.

     "Who said that?"  Kate called, looking around her.  "Lucas, you'd better not be hiding and trying to scare me.  Not unless you want to find your car on top of the clock tower again."

     No one answered.  Katie sighed.  "Must be my imagination."  She picked up the stone statue again and began to do arm curls.

    "Didn't I tell you to leave me alone?"  It was the same voice, this time with a touch of annoyance to it. 

     "Who is that?"  Katie called.  "I'm not bothering anyone.  Just doing some arm curls here." 

     "Yeah, well I'm the one you're exercising with."  This time Katie noticed that the voice was coming from the statue she was currently moving up and down.

     "What the???"  She dropped it again and stood back in fear.

     "Yeeeeooowwwwcccchhhh, my nose!  Stop dropping me like that!"

     "Who are you?"  Katie asked.

     "A very annoyed wolf warrior," came the reply.  "Why did you wake me with all that stupid lifting of yours for anyway?  Now I'll have to be awake in this stone until someone comes and frees me."

     "Oh, I could do that," said Katie eagerly as she picked it up yet again.  "Just let me get on top of that ridge there.  A good drop should split that stone wide open and let you out."

     "NOOOOOOO, put me down you idiot!"  Again she dropped him and again he screamed.  "Yeeeooooooowwwwwwccccchhh, my uh…manhood!"

     "Er, sorry," Katie mumbled, blushing.

     "You can't free me like that.  You have to use magic."  The statue stopped talking for a minute.  "Hey," it cried as Katie began to walk away, "you can't leave me like this!"

     "Oh, sorry."  Katie came back and placed the statue back where she got it from.  "Is that better?"

     "No, I'm still awake.  Could…uh, could you massage me again like you were doing earlier?  That would really relax me."

     Katie stared at the stone polish she had been using earlier and shrugged her shoulders.  She applied some to the polishing cloth and began to re-polish the stone.

     "Ooohhhhh, ahhhhhh, that feels sooooo good," moaned the statue.  This continued for a few minutes.

     It was at that point that Lucas drove up and heard the guttural moans.  He watch incredulously and watched as Katie rubbed up and down on the statue. 

     "Good Lord, Katie," he shouted.  "I knew you were having trouble getting a date.  But I didn't know you were this hard up."

     The next morning, he found his car on top of the clock tower.
