Disclaimer: I don't own the Power Rangers. So don't try to buy them from me. Please don't get all offended because I mocked your favorite Ranger. I try to mock them all. Besides, it's just for fun. I really do enjoy the show :). Hi to all from AFPR…especially my fellow Psychos. Please let me know if I make any errors. I have no difficulty with receiving constructive criticism.
Guess what? This is the first of the next 50 stories (well, that's what I'm going to aim for) in my crazy series. This one was requested by momotronic9k27.
Kira and Kat
By
Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)
Kira tapped the pencil against the table as she pondered the next line of her song. For the first time, she had the underground base all to herself. The guys had all gone to a football game and Kira had agreed to watch the monitors. But instead, she used the time to work out a new song to debut at Haley's Cyber Café..
"Hmmm…let's see. Conner oh Conner…you have no honor…Trent oh Trent…I wonder where you went…I'd love to have a threesome…in every single season….Aaaaggggghhhh! That stinks!" She crumpled up the paper and tossed it on a growing pile of discarded lyrics.
"BANG BANG BANG!"
"Oh great," she groaned. "Dr. Oliver probably forgot the tickets and his house keys." Not wanting any of the guys to see her failed lyrics; Kira began to shove the crumpled papers into whatever crevices she could find in the room.
"BANG BANG BANG!"
"Hold on a sec!" She called as she ran up the stairs. It wasn't her fault that he was so forgetful, was it? Normally, Tommy's forgetfulness didn't bother his younger teammates. Once, he had forgotten to give them and their classmates their midterms, and when that suck-up Cassidy tried to remind him, he got confused and asked how they did. Everyone got an A for the class.
"BANG BANG BANG!"
"I'm coming! I'm coming!" Kira cursed Tommy for not getting an elevator installed. Climbing the ten flights between the underground cavern and his house may have seemed like reasonable exercise to him. But it was a pain at times like this.
"BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG BANG…"
"Fine!" cried a breathless and annoyed Kira as she grabbed the doorknob. "If that's how you want to be, here!" With that, she yanked open the door and flung the extra set of house keys at a strange blonde woman. "Oh, uh, I thought you were Dr. Oliver," she stammered. "Sorry about…"
"So, he likes them young now, huh?" demanded Kat.
"Huh?" asked Kira.
"Don't give me that, you little hussy," hissed Kat. "Where is he? Where is that rat?"
"Where is…hey wait a second! You're one of Dr. Oliver's old teammates. Uh, let's see…Kim…I bel…" Kira paused at Kat's angry glare. "No, I guess not. Oh, wait, you're Kat."
"You're damned right I am." Kat shoved her way past Kira and into the house. "Now, where is he? Is he hiding under the bed this time?"
"Where is who?" asked Kira, somewhat miffed at Kat's thinly veiled accusations. "I'm the only one here at the moment. The guys all went to a football game."
But Kat just ignored her. Instead she ran through all of the rooms, looking in closets and under beds. "Tommy! Tommy!" she hollered as she hunted. "Where are you, you coward?"
Kira simply plopped herself down on Dr. Oliver's sofa to think up more lyrics for her song. Soon, she was snoozing as Kat completed her frantic searching. Over two hours, and a destroyed house later, a harsh shaking woke her up.
"Hey! Where's that secret lair of his?"
"What?" asked Kira bleary-eyed. "What are you talking about? There's no secret lair here."
Kat snorted. "Don't even try it, Yellow Ranger. That spotlight hogging man of mine couldn't keep himself from e-mailing all of his old teammates to give them the details of his new team."
Kira smiled to herself. If Dr. Oliver had no qualms about revealing her identity, then neither would she. She would add morphing and 'cool Ranger moves' to her stage show. Maybe she'd even be able to convince the guys to be her backup dancers. She nodded at Kat. "Very well then. I just hope you don't mind a long climb down." Kira headed towards a door marked 'stairs to secret underground base.'
Kat rolled her eyes. "Are you kidding? There's no way an egotist like Tommy would've climbed all those flights everyday. It would've made his long hair all sweaty.
"What long hair?" asked Kira. Now she knew this woman was nuts.
Kat just ignored the teenager. "Let's see, if I were Tommy, where would I hide…aha!" She walked over to a full-sized painting of Tommy as the White Ranger that was under it's own spotlight and pushed it aside. She then pressed a button that had been underneath it. A panel slid open in the wall next to it, revealing an elevator. "Going down."'
Kira was flabbergasted. "But…but…" Sighing, she followed Kat into the elevator. A forged love note from Dr. Oliver to a certain hated principal would fix him for making them do all that climbing for nothing.
When the elevator finally reached the base, Kat dashed out of it. "Tommy! I'm here! Come on out, you weasel!" Once again, she began a frantic look for him.
Kira was getting quite bored with this. "I already told you, he's at a football game." She gazed curiously at Kat. "Why are you hunting for him, anyway? I thought you two broke up."
"Oh, is that what he told you?" growled Kat.
"Well, no," admitted Kira. "I just assumed that since you weren't with him…"
Suddenly, Kat began to weep. "Do you know what that jackass did? He left me. Me! At the altar. He just never showed up. And I've spent the past five years hunting him down."
Kira felt a bit awkward at this. "Yeah, that's a really tough break, I guess." Inwardly, she pondered on the amount she would be able to get from Cassidy and Devin for this shocking story. "Synthesizer, here I come," she thought.
"Tough break? Tough break? He broke his promise. He broke my heart. And he broke the prediction."
"What prediction?" Kira asked in spite of herself.
Kat pulled a videotape out of her purse and popped it into a convenient VCR. She cued it through several scenes of the Zeo Rangers, until she came to a scene where she and Tommy were an old married couple with a grandson.
Kira squinted at it. "Hey, they look like…no, that's impossible." She looked at Kat in shock. "How in the hell were you able to get a recording of you and Tommy, from the future?"
Kat beamed. "Oh, that's my little secret, Dearie." She certainly wasn't going to elaborate on the 'favors' she had to bestow on a certain Blue genius for finding those tapes in an alternate dimension. Apparently, these other beings tended to record their adventures as Rangers. Kat marveled at the fact that their Zordon hadn't taken away their powers for revealing their secret in front of millions of television viewers. Nevertheless, she still felt a bit disgusted at having to use Justin in that manner.
"Whatever," replied Kira, who had quickly lost interest. "Look, Dr. O should be home in a few hours. If you want to wait here for him, that's fine. I've got a song to write." She then picked up her guitar and continued her work.
"You sing?" asked Kat.
"Yeah," mumbled Kira who was busy scribbling some notes.
Curious, Kat leaned over to look at what Kira was doing. "You know, I think I could help."
Kira looked up at Kat. "Oh, really?" she asked doubtfully. "Can you come up with a good rhyme for 'orgy'?"
Kat shivered. "I don't think I even want to know what kind of song you're trying to write." Then she smiled proudly. "You know, when I was in high school, I wrote a new anthem for my school."
Kira snorted. "Oh that. Dr. Oliver told us all about that in his daily reminisces about you guys. He said Aisha wrote the whole song. He also said you were only there because they only allowed team efforts for that contest and she figured you'd provide extra eye-candy for the boys."
"WHAT?" exclaimed Kat. "That bitch! She couldn't find a rhyme in a paper bag. I wrote that song!" She flopped down on a chair and cried. "No wonder Tommy always thought I was a helpless idiot."
"Well that and you always calling to him for help during battles," interjected Kira in a not so helpful manner. With that, she cued Kat's videotape until it came to a scene of Kat crying "Tooooooooommmmmyyyy!" "Wow, talk about pathetic. You took women back about a hundred years with that."
A wicked gleam appeared in Kat's eyes. "Pathetic? Pathetic? I'll show you and all of my so-called friends that I'm no weakling crybaby. I'll show that ex-boyfriend of mine what happens when he breaks my heart!" Before Kira could stop her, Kat grabbed her guitar and smashed it into several panels and monitors. "Buh bye!" She pressed a button on the Pink Zeo morpher that she kept on herself and teleported away.
"My guitar!" cried Kira, completely ignoring the damage to the Zord systems and the loss of research data. "My poor, poor, guitar!"
