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 :).

     Well, I really wanted to do a good story since I like both of these characters.  But they really turned out to be hard to write about.  So, I hope this is ok at least.

Oh, and thank you to Joe Rovang and his Writer's Guide to the PR Universe for all the little bits of information it gives me when I'm stuck on a name or weapon :).

Mike and Zhane

By

Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)

   "Hello?  Who is this?"

     "Yes, hello.  Can I please speak to Mike Corbett?"

     "This is Mike.  Who is this?"

     "Zhane."

     "Who?"

     "Zhane, from KO35."

     "Who?"

     "Zhane…you know, the Silver Space Ranger?"

     "Sorry, never heard of you.  Anyway, we've already met all of the Space Rangers."

     "Oh, that's just great.  I knew Andros was angry with me, but he's really taken things too far.  Look, didn't you even wonder why you had no counterpart when they visited you guys?"

     "Err, not really.  Look, can you make this fast?  We have a busy day ahead of us.  I don't know if Andros told you, but we just lost our Pink Ranger and you're kind of interrupting the little memorial service we're having for her."

     "You're talking on a cell phone during a memorial service?  Wow, and I thought I was tasteless."

     "What are you talking about?  You called me, remember?" 

     "Oh, yeah.   Well, I heard you would be needing a new Pink Ranger and I thought I'd offer my services."

     "You want to be the Pink Ranger?  You can't be serious.  Anyway, I thought you were already the Silver Ranger."

      "Well, that's the reason I didn't get to help you guys before.  Andros threw my digimorpher into the Megaship's incinerator.  Seems he wasn't too happy when he found out I was selling souvenirs from the Megaship on e-bay."

     "Oh, well, look, Jane…"

     "That's Zhane."

     "Not if you intend to wear a Pink Ranger outfit with a little skirt."

     "Well, do you have anyone other candidates?"

     "Well, I was thinking of asking High Councilor Renier to do it…"

     "Yeah, right.  Look, I'll send my fiancée on ahead to look for the Pink Quasar Saber.  Once Karone gets it, she'll pass it on to me."

     "Well, wouldn't it make more sense for her to just take the powers herself?"

     "She would never do that.  Karone is crazy about me.  She would never hurt me.  Well, there were those few instances when she tried to kill me, but then she explained the concept of PMS to me."

     "Uh, sure, I guess her having been an evil space princess at the time had nothing to do with it."

     "Look, you don't have to be so mean.  I've had a hard enough time as it is.  I mean, try being in suspended animation on a cryogenic bed for two years."

     "Yeah, well, try being suspended from a sword stuck in the wall of an underground chasm for six months while some crazed guy uses your spirit to exact his revenge on everyone and everything."

     "Yeah, well, try losing your powers to a trash incinerator."

     "Yeah, well try losing...oh wait, I'm not stupid enough to lose my powers by getting them crushed."

      "Waaaaahhaaaaaaa!!!!!"

     "What?"

     "You….you… called me an idiot."

     "No, I called you stupid."

     "Waaaaaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaahaaa!"

     "Hey, everyone can hear you over here.  Cut it out."

     "Waaaaaaahaaahhaaaaaaaaaaahhaaaaaaaaaa!"

     "I'm not kidding.  I'm getting dirty looks here."

     "Waaaaaaaaahhaaaaahaaaaaaahaaaaaaaaaaa!"

     "Ok, ok, I'm sorry I called you stu…no, wait guys don't break my……zzzztttzzzzzzttttzzzzztttt."

     "Heh, heh, heh, call me 'stupid' will you?  By the way, I'm reversing the charges for this call.  Bye."
