Disclaimer: I don't own anything to do with Power Rangers, cept my toys! Which are like, so cool 'cuz some of them GLOW! And my battlized rangers…oh and my ninja gliders! So cool… -Walks away mumbling.-

A/N: This is a silly fic really, came about when I was talking to my sister about what the rangers would be like as kids. So here's my attempt at doing a funny(ish) story! Set just after Return of Thunder, so it's an AU fic too.

Sorry to those who've already read this...i accidently deleted it thinking it was the wrong one so it all dissappeared:( But you can always read and review again -giggles-

"Kapri, Marah!" Lothor's voice boomed throughout the ship, "Kapri! Marah!"

"Here Uncle!" Marah ran into the hall and stopped just in front of Lothor's throne, "what's up?"

Lothor rolled his eyes, "where's your sister?"

Marah shrugged, "she's…around?"

"Get your sister. Make it quick!"

Marah shuffled off down the hallway.

Lothor sighed and walked over to a control panel, he looked into the screen to see the group of five teenagers laughing and joking around. "I hate those Power Rangers." He muttered.

A few moments later, Marah ran through the hallways and towards her uncle, "Uncle! Kapri's here."

Kapri rolled her eyes at her sister perkiness, "yeah yeah, I'm here. What'd you want?"

Lothor looked at his nieces and sighed, "You want to make yourself useful?"

Marah nodded excitedly and clapped her hands together, "yippee! What do we do?"

"I need you to make the rangers life a little more…interesting." Lothor grinned smugly.

Kapri stood on the opposite side of Lothor and sighed, "what's the point? It never works anyway, they just beat us."

"Kapri, silence." Lothor snapped, "We're going to show just how childish those teenagers really are."

Marah looked confused, "what? How'd we do that?"

Lothor and Kapri rolled their eyes and looked at Marah, as she wrinkled her nose in confused, Kapri grinned, "you mean…really childish?"

"Why not?"

Marah pouted, "I'm confused!"

Kapri laughed as Lothor just stated, "prepare the beam."

"Hunter? Have you seen Blake around?"

"No."

Tori rolled her eyes and sat down on the sofa, she flicked the TV on and, after finding nothing on, looked around the shop. It was relatively quiet; a few customers were gathered around the skateboards but other than that there were only the rangers around. Hunter was moving boxes from outside into the stockroom whilst Dustin was helping a boy with a new helmet; Shane and Kelly were standing just off from the service counter. Tori wrinkled her nose slightly, where was Blake?

"Hey Tor."

Tori's gaze lifted to see Dustin plonk himself beside her, "hey Dustin."

"What you doin' here? I thought you were going surfing…?"

"Ah, I didn't feel like it in the end…"

"Oh?"

"I don't want to talk about it right now, sorry."

"No worries Tori, come on, it's my break."

Tori got up to follow Dustin bound out the door, "see you later guys." She called as she was dragged out the door.

Tori followed Dustin as he walked into the small coffee shop; she found a small table in the corner and sat down on the chair. A few minutes later, Dustin carrying two cups joined her; he had a bag held in between his teeth too. Tori grabbed the bag and set it on the table, she delved into it and pulled out the chocolate muffin.

"Hey that's mine!"

"Dustin, there's three of them in there. You can spare one for you're best friend…surely."

Dustin shrugged and pushed her cup towards her, "here you go." Tori looked down at the cup, "I remembered from last time…hot chocolate with extra cream." He recited, his nose wrinkled slightly as his own preferences.

Tori rolled her eyes, "it's better than having heaps of sugar in the darn thing…like some one I know." She raised her eyebrow as Dustin grinned and dug into one of his muffins.

When Dustin had finished his muffins he had found it highly amusing to throw his crumbs at Tori at infrequent times, Tori, being the most mature of the pair just ignored him and every-so-often kicked his shin under the table.

Dustin threw a crumb at Tori and it hit her square in the forehead, she glared as Dustin tried his best to look innocent. "Dustin, I'm going to kill you."

Instead of a reply, Tori was greeted by a familiar beep from her wrist, "Ah crap." She heard Dustin mutter.

Dustin reached into his pockets and pulled out a few bills, throwing them down at the counter, he followed Tori out the shop. They stopped in a small alleyway where Dustin lifted his morpher to his mouth.

"This better be good dude, I've left a perfectly good drink." Tori rolled her eyes at her teammate and then grinned as the reply came quickly.

"Oh sorry, I thought I was contacting a power ranger…not a wannabe smart ass."

"That was harsh dude."

"Cam, what's up?" Tori interrupted.

"I need you two back at Ninja Ops."

"Why?"

"I'll explain when you get here."

Tori lowered her arm to look at Dustin, "come on then."

"But…my break…"

"It doesn't finish for another-" She looked at her watch, "-half an hour!"

Dustin went to protest but Tori had already streaked away, he sighed and quickly followed.

"So, what's up Cam?"

Tori jogged down the steps and sat on the table in the middle of the room, Dustin shortly emerged from the stairway and stood next to her. Cam turned around on his chair and looked at the two.

"Lothor's not been causing trouble for a while-"

"Don't bag it dude, I kinda like not having to kick butt everyday." Tori looked at Dustin, "hey, I said 'kinda'!"

"-As I was saying." Cam removed his glasses; "I thought it was odd that he hadn't even tried to do anything…that was until I saw this on the surveillance cameras."

Cam spun back around and tapped at the keyboard, moments later a video stream appeared on the large screen. Tori and Dustin moved forwards and leant on the chair.

"Kapri! Let me do it!"

"No, let go Marah, you'll break it and then we'll all be screwed!"

Marah let go of the small blue box that she was tugging at, Kapri held it in front of her inspecting it.

"See? It's fine! It's not like it's broken or anything."

Kapri rolled her eyes and placed the box down beside the rock, "Marah…this is important." She knelt down beside it, "if we don't do this right, Uncle's going to kill us."

Marah crossed her arms, "I don't see why we should do this anyway."

Kapri moved the rock away to place the blue box under a group of loose stones, when she moved the rock back in front and stood back up. "Come on Marah, let's go."

With a crack of lightening, they both were gone.

"What was that all about?"

Cam shrugged and turned in his chair, "I need you two to check it out. Whatever it is, it can't be good."

Tori nodded, "We'll check it out."

"What, now?"

Tori looked at Dustin and sighed, "Come on Dustin! We need to check this thing out. If it's dangerous then we need to get rid of it."

Cam sighed, "Give me your cell."

Dustin slowly reached out his cell phone and handed it over to Cam. "What are you going to do?"

Without answering, Cam opened it up and searched for through the phone book, moments later he was waiting for someone to answer. "Oh, hello. This is Cameron Watanabe, Dustin's friend? Yeah, I know he's due back…that's why I'm ringing…yes…he can't make it back…well you see something has come up and it's all my fault. I'm sorry…Yes; he'll be there tomorrow. Ok. Bye"

Cam handed the phone back to Dustin who shoved it into his pocket, "dude!"

Tori smiled, "come on then, we need to check this thing out."

Dustin nodded, "ready?"

"You know it."

-

"Uncle! Uncle!"

Lothor sighed and waited until Marah and Kapri appeared, "what now?"

"We did it, the device is planted underneath loose rocks."

Marah smiled, "what happens next?"

Lothor stepped off the throne and walked over to the control panel, "now we wait. Soon enough those pesky rangers will pick up the radiation and check it out."

"Then what?"

Kapri nudged her sister, "just wait and see Marah! God, you're annoying at times."

"Yeah well…you're just stupid!"

"I am not!"

"Are too!"

"Not!"

"Shut up!" Lothor's voice boomed through the hall causing both sisters to quieten down.

"Sorry uncle…" they apologised in unison.

-

"Well? Where was it?"

The yellow ranger looked around the rock quarry, the visor opened and Dustin wrinkled his nose, confused. Tori's visor opened shortly afterwards and shrugged.

"I don't know…"

Dustin looked around, "Ah man! It must be around here!"

Tori lifted her morpher to her mouth, "Cam?"

"Yeah, you're in the right spot. It's behind Dustin, under the loose set of rocks."

"Thanks Cam."

"No problem, just be careful with that thing…it could be dangerous."

"Sure."

Dustin looked behind him, true to Cam's words; there was a large rock, with loose rocks surrounding it. Dustin's visor closed and he stepped over towards it, throwing the rocks out the way when he spotted the blue box. He grinned under his helmet and picked it up.

"I found it!"

Tori shook her head slightly and closed her visor, she looked around her and then nodded, "come on then Dustin. Let's get out of here."

Without another word, both were gone in a streak of yellow and blue.

-

"So that's it?" Hunter's voice broke any train of concentration Cam had going. With a sigh, he looked up from the blue box to award Hunter with a glare. "What? I was just saying! You pull me away from a peaceful day to watch you inspect a box?"

Cam sighed and moved away from the box that was sitting on the table, he walked over to the computer and typed a few lines of code, turning back to Hunter he adjusted his glasses.

"Hunter, shut up and pass me that yellow wire."

Hunter rolled his eyes and reached for the wire, he pulled it over to where Cam had positioned the box. "What does it do anyway?"

"I don't know Hunter…that's what I'm trying to find out now."

Hunter raised his hands in mock defence, "Ok! I was just asking."

Cam looked up and around him, "where's the others?"

"Just outside." Hunter looked at Cam, "I'll go get them."

As Hunter disappeared up the stairs, Cam turned to connect the box to the computer system, he heard footsteps behind him and turned to see Dustin and Tori sat on the table. Hunter was standing behind Dustin with his arms crossed and Blake was still descending the stairs. Cam looked around, trying to see if Shane had joined them, sure enough, Shane followed Blake down the steps.

"Guys, I have no idea what this box does, but I'm going to need your help."

Shane shrugged, "what do we do?"

Cam was about to speak when the room was filled with a bright white light, Cam squinted and turned around, the originally blue box was now glowing. He took a few steps back over to the others.

"Is it supposed to do that?"

Dustin's voice was slightly drowned out by the loud humming noise the box was making, Cam just shook his head as the noise got louder.

"Dude! It's gonna blow!" Blake shouted over the loud humming. "Look at it! It's gathering energy from that computer!"

Cam moved forwards to reach for the emergency off-switch, at the same time Shane ran for the box. Cam pulled the switch and Shane yanked the wires from the box, the humming slowed down and the room was emerged in a bright blue light. Shielding his eyes, Shane moved over to Cam. When the light dimmed, Cam looked up; the box was still there, instead of the rich blue colour, the box had become an orange colour.

Cam moved over to the box and touched it, yanking his hand back quickly, "Damnit! It's hot."

"Erm…dude. That's the last of our problems…"

Cam craned his neck to look at Shane. "What's worse than this?"

"That."

Shane pointed to where the other four rangers were standing. Cam slowly turned around, fearing the worse.

"Oh."

Despite Cam's fears, the rangers were still standing there, but not as Cam had known them.

"What's happened to them?" Shane muttered across to Cam, who just shrugged.

"They've…become children…"
