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 :).  Oh, and let me know if I get any terms wrong so I can correct them.  Thanks.

Andros and Justin

Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)

         "Captain's Log, Stardate 011011011011."  Andros leaned back in his chair on the bridge of the Megaship.  "It has been three months since the ultimate defeat of evil.  I have sent an away team down to Earth to…"

     "Andros," interrupted Deca, "Must I remind you that this is not the Enterprise and that you are not Captain Kirk?"

     "Aw, Deca," whined Andros.  "Why do you always ruin my fun?"  Ever since Alpha had spliced in cable, he had become obsessed with Star Trek.

     "Must I contact the others to give you an extra dose of your medication?"

     "No," Andros hung his head.  "I'll behave.  I promise."

     "Good," said Deca.

     With that, Andros stood up, walked to a wall panel, opened it, and yanked out a few wires.  "Those annoying Turtles were good for one thing at least.  Threaten me, will you, Deca?"

     He returned to his chair.  "Captain's Log continued.  I have sent an away team to…."

     He was interrupted as the Blue Turbo Ranger ran onto the Bridge.  "Blue Turbo Ranger, reporting for duty, Sir.  I'm all ready to do my part to destroy the enemy.  What should I do first?"  He continued to run around and press different buttons.  The ship began to shake.

     "Cut that out!"  Andros ran after the overgrown kid.  "Ok," he called out loud.  "What idiot let this twerp onto my Bridge?"

     "You did, Andros."  Deca's voice made Andros jump.  "You disconnected the door locks when you pulled those wires.  Oh, and I've upped your dosage to 20 milligrams."

     "Damn," mumbled Andros as another explosion shook the ship.  "Ok, that does it!  Let's Rocket!" 

     As soon as he had morphed, he ran after Justin and put him into a half-nelson.  He then pressed the secret button under Justin's helmet to forcibly demorph him.  Then he demorphed himself.

     "But, I want to help!" whined Justin. 

     "With what?" asked Andros who was holding onto the struggling boy's collar.  "All the evil's been destroyed for three months now.  You're a bit late."

     "Aw, gee whiz."  Justin was disappointed.  "I would've been here sooner, but my dad grounded me for four months."

     "You?  An all around goody-goody kid grounded?  What ever for?"

     Justin sighed.  "I forgot about not letting others see me drive Storm Blaster unmorphed.  I got pulled over for speeding on the California Highway.  That reminds me, Storm Blaster is going up on the Police Auto Auction tomorrow."

     "What?!?!" shouted Andros.  "Are you nuts?  Do you have any idea of what could happen if that sentient car gets into the hands of some insane maniac?  Oh, wait, that's already happened.  I guess this may actually prove to be a lucky break for Storm Blaster."

     "Yeah, maybe….hey, wait a minute.  Was that an insult?"

     "Err…no?" Andros lied.

     "Oh, ok then.  Anyway, I did try to call you guys on my communicator to tell you about Storm Blaster, but no one answered."

     "That's because Andros had caller id installed into the communicators," Deca intoned.  "Something about wanting to keep a smart alec kid from bugging him."

     "Shut up, Deca or I'll post those compromising pictures of Alpha and you all over the internet."  Andros pulled a photograph out of his pocket and waved it in front of a computer monitor for Deca to see.

     "You wouldn't dare!"  Deca's voice sounded unusually panicked.  "It's not what it looks like. Honest!" 

      Andros placed the photograph on the scanner.  He held his finger over the button that would send it all over the web.

     "All right…all right!  I'll be quiet. Just see how you get along on this ship without my wisdom."  With that, Deca stopped talking

     "Finally," Andros sighed.

     "But, don't you need her?" asked Justin who had extracted himself from Andros' grip and was now fooling with one of the computers.  "Hey cool!  Asteroids!"  He began playing.

     "Are you kidding?" Andros scoffed   "Do you know what it's like listening to her consistent nagging day in and day out?  It's like having a wife but without the benefits."

     "What benefits?"  Justin asked distractedly as he continued playing.

     "Ok, no thirteen year old kid is THAT clueless.  Did someone drop you on your head as a baby?"  Andros said as he walked to where Justin was playing.

     "Well, only once that I know of but….hey!  Was that an insult?"

     "Err, no," Andros lied again.  He leaned in to watch Justin play.  Something about the game seemed familiar to him.  Too familiar.

     "You idiot!"  He cried as he knocked Justin from the seat and grabbed the controls.  "You've steered us right into an asteroid storm!"

     "Whoops!"  Justin said as he stood up and brushed off his pants.  "I thought those graphics were a bit realistic."  He fidgeted as Andros guided the Megaship out of the storm. 

     "Well, at least we're safe now," Andros slumped with relief.  "Now what are we going to do about Storm Blaster?"  He turned to where Justin was fiddling with the controls of the computer at another station.

     "Oh boy!  Space Invaders!"  Justin began to play again.

     "No!  Don't shoot at them!"  Andros ran over and shoved Justin away again.  As he did so, he fell against the keyboard and accidentally sent a barrage of missiles towards a fleet of alien spaceships.  Three of the ships exploded.

     The enraged face of a lizard-like alien appeared on the screen.  "Greetings, we had come in peace in hopes of sharing our wisdom with you…"

     "Uh, thank you."

     "However, you have chosen to initiate an attack on us.  So we now declare war on your puny little planet!"  With that, the screen went blank.

     "Wahoo!"  Justin called as he jumped around.  "I'll get to do Ranger stuff again."

     "Oh, you really want to do 'Ranger stuff'?" Andros asked with a sneer.  "Well, you can start right now!"  With that, he pressed a button and transported Justin to the lead ship of the alien fleet.

     "Whoops, I forgot to tell him to morph first." Andros said as he leaned back in his chair and continued his log.  "Now where was I?  I have sent an away team to…"

     The alien reappeared on the screen.  He was in tears and his green scales were covered in perspiration.  Other aliens were running behind him in a panic as computer consoles and other machinery exploded and wires sizzled.

     "Take him back!  Oh, please take your little monster back!  We can't take it anymore!"  pleaded the lizard-like captain. 

     With that, Justin was teleported back to the Megaship.  Then the alien ship sped away as fast as it could go.

     "Damn," mumbled Andros.  "So close."

     "Did you miss me?"  Justin asked in a syrupy sweet tone.  "That ship was awesome.  They had the best games there."

     "Not really," replied Andros.  "But what are we going to do about Storm Blaster?" 

     "Well, I'm going to need about a million dollars for it."

     "What???"  Andros was shocked.  "Why?"

     Justin hesitated.  "Well, you see, when I got caught by the officers on the highway, I wasn't driving.  I was flying."  He ducked as Andros dove after him.

     "You idiot!"  Andros shouted as he ran after the boy.  "There's no way we can get a million dollars by tomorrow!"

     "There is one way according to my calculations."  Justin dove under a console to get out of Andros' reach.

     Andros gave up chasing him and sat down.  "What is it?"

     "Well," Justin hesitated again.  "I spoke to NASADA and they agreed to pay us a million dollars if we rent the Megaship out as a museum."

     "My Megaship!"  Andros began to hyperventilate.   "NO ONE IS RENTING MY MEGASHIP!  NO WAY!  NO HOW!  IT'S MINE AND NO ONE ELSES!!!!!!!"

     "But…" Justin began.

     "Andros is correct, Justin."  Deca spoke up from her brief silent treatment.  "He would not be able to live without us.  He would not be able to do anything without my sage advice.  And, Andros?  I've upped your medication to 100 milligrams."

     Andros groaned.  "You know what?  Maybe I really do need a break from this ship and a certain annoying computer.  Let's go and get that million dollars."  He and Justin began to head for the jump tubes.  Before they jumped in, he paused as something occurred to him.  "Wait a minute, if Storm Blaster is missing, how did you get to my ship?"

     Justin blanched.  "Oh my God!  I left Lightning Cruiser double parked outside!"

     "What?????"
