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 :).
Kelsey and Chad
By
Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)
It was a beautiful summer evening. Kelsey was excited. Well, actually, she was always excited. But this time she actually had a reason beyond the insane voices in her head. Chad had asked her out. On a real date. Well, never mind that Chad had actually been talking to the ocean rather then directly to her when making the date. Kelsey was certain he was asking her out. So she said she would date him and immediately began to make plans.
They were walking to an oceanside restaurant called The Spewy Chunks. Chad had frowned at Kelsey's choice. But, when he checked his wallet, he realized it was either that, or they shared a meal at McDonalds.
He had tried several times to tell Kelsey that she wasn't the one he wanted to date. But, she had actually videotaped him talking to the water and had threatened to expose the Blue Lightspeed Ranger as a total psychotic kook. She had also threatened to put up a petition to legalize the fishing of mermaids. So, he was stuck, at least for now.
"Isn't this exciting?" Kelsey was skating around him in haphazard circles. "I mean, here we are. I can't believe it. Just the other day Susie Rickers was telling me..."
Chad began a mental mantra to tune her out. Twenty minutes later, Kelsey finally took a breath and he dove in. "Uh, Kelsey, you're not going to wear those skates in the restaurant, are you?" He was a little disappointed. She had worn her usual skating outfit rather than something nicer. And he was getting nauseous from her movements.
"Skates?" Kelsey stopped so suddenly she fell over. "Oh, I forgot I had them on."
"Why am I not surprised?" mumbled Chad.
Fifteen minutes later, after Kelsey had ditched the inline skates, they arrived at the restaurant. They order the least noxious looking meal on the menu. Kelsey began another nonstop conversation, while Chad stared absently at the water in the pool they were sitting next to.
Their meals finally arrived. Neither one noticed that the calamari was still squirming nor that green fumes were rising from the salmon.
"So," Kelsey said as she quickly shoved in mouthfuls between her words, "anyway, that's what I think Dana should do to get Carter's attention. What do you think?"
Chad, who had been absently eating the rancid food as he gazed at the water, sighed. "Maybe she should try swimming to shore once in a while. Then he'd see more of her."
Kelsey stared curiously at him. "But Dana doesn't even like to swim. Oh, but wait until I tell you…" Another fifteen minutes passed. "So, what do you think of the new uniforms for the cadets?"
"Hmmm?" Chad mumbled. "Sounds great…but how will you ever get it to fit over your tail?"
"What?" Kelsey ran to the ladies room and stared at her behind in a mirror. An hour later, she returned to the table. "Hey, wait a minute" she said to Chad. "I don't even have a tail. Are you ok?"
"I'm just fine, Marina," Chad sighed.
A light finally went on in Kelsey's brain. Angrily, she got up and stomped toward him. "Marina? MARINA??? What is it with Blue Rangers and fish sluts?" With that she pushed him into the pool and stomped away.
Chad began to climb out of the pool to go after Kelsey. Then he thought better of it and began to float on his back; peace and quiet at last.
