Destiny45 (ch 4): Thanks. Yes, it is. You'll have to read on and see.

DISCLAIMERS

All original Power Ranger characters belong to Haim Saban, Fox Kids, and Disney. I only own Gragon, the Crangons, and Kirk.

Later that day, Kira sat in her room, writing furiously in her diary. She was so confused. She didn't know what to do. That's why she was writing. If she could just get it down, all her emotions would leak out. Just then, the phone rang.

"I got it, Mom!" Kira cried, picking up her extension. "Hello?" she asked.

"Kira?" Kira froze. Great. Just who I didn't want to hear right now, she thought. "Wait. Don't hang up," Kirk said quickly. "Listen, I---I know I acted like a jerk,' he continued.

"Yeah. You did," Kira agreed hotly.

"And I'm sorry. I really am," Kirk stated. Sorry? Kira thought. This always happened. Kirk would get all creep-like and blow things out of proportion, scream at her until she walked away, and then later call her and apologize. Kira hung up, not wanting to hear it.

"Sorry?" Kira snorted. "Right," she said sarcastically. With that, she tossed her diary aside and picked up 3-ring binder notebook and began writing as the words flowed out of her. Several minutes later, she heard a six-tone beep.

"What's up, Zordon?" she asked.

"Goldar and Scorpina are at Reefside Park," Zordon intoned.

"Oh, great. Not those freaks again," Kira griped. "On my way," she assured. Then, getting into position, she softly cried, "Dino Thunder! Power up!" Within seconds, she was in the park.

"Okay, let's hurry this up. I was workin' on a song," she said to the two golden warriors.

"Aw. Too bad, Yellow. You're doomed," Scorpina sneered. With that, she pulled out a boomerang.

"Everybody down!" the Red Ranger cried. With that, the Rangers ducked. As Scorpina's boomerang came back around, Goldar took the opportunity to let forth a blast from his sword. Scorpina laughed menacingly as the Rangers picked themselves up.

"Pathetic. The oldest trick in the book and you've fallen for it," she sneered.

"You're the one who's pathetic, Goldie-locks!" the Black Dino Ranger exclaimed. He whipped out his Brachio Staff and charged. As the Black Dino Ranger and Goldar went at it, Scorpina headed for the others. The Yellow Dino Ranger brought out her Ptera Grips, which were soon clanging against Scorpina's arrow. Pretty soon, Goldar and Scorpina landed in a heap. With a growl, the two stood up.

"We'll be back," Scorpina snarled. No sooner had they said this, did they disappear.

"Well, finally," the Yellow Dino Ranger huffed.

"Power down," the Red Ranger stated.

"I'm out of here," Kira stated. She stomped away.

"What's with her?" Trent wondered.

"I don't know," Zack stated. They all looked at each other.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

You'll have to wait until a little later to find out what the song is. And just a reminder: when they're morphed, I'll always make sure you know who is who. For example, if Billy says something, he'll be identified as the Blue Ranger. And if Ethan says something, he'll be identified as the Blue Dino Ranger. And I figured you all know who's who, so I'm not gonna add last names.
