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.

If you haven't done so, please read the first fifty stories in "When Rangers Meet." Thanks.

Well, this is story thirteen. It was going to be a Christmas one, but that just didn't work out. This was requested by the pilot of eva unit 04.

I've been going through my reviews and noticed that there have been other requests made, but not in the time frame I had given. But I will try to get to them. I'm only going to use the ones from people who haven't had a request met yet (because I want to get back to my random drawings.) So these are the next few pairings : Zhane/Dustin, Wes/Andros, Tommy/Cam, Billy/Rocky, Maya/Jen, Wes/Maya, Billy/Justin, Adam/Trini, and Leo/Cole. I will do these in whatever order I can come up with ideas for them. Yes, I am breaking my own rule by doing this, but I have to do something to get back on track with my writing.

Oh, and I hope everyone had a good holiday.

Now I will shut up. Enjoy J

Kat and Trini

By

Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)

Kat smiled broadly as she waved to her departing students. "Bye! Have a good night! Make sure you know all your dance moves for tomorrow's show or you'll get nothing but reindeer poop in your stockings next week!" As the dance studio's door closed, she sighed. "Damn talentless brats, there's no way those clods are going to get through the show without falling on their asses." She had already had a pool going among her fellow dance teachers as to which kid would trip first.

"What?!" came the indignant cry from the other side of the room. "How dare you call my little Zordonia a brat!"

Kat groaned to herself. This wasn't the first time she had forgotten to make sure everyone was gone before sniping about the children. She lost an average of three students every week because of her big mouth. Then something occurred to her. "Zor…wait a second, I don't know any Zordonia." Why was that so familiar sounding?

"Yeah, well, my daughter said she'd rather die than have anyone know her real name," a still-irritated Trini admitted between clenched teeth. "She does not appreciate such an honorable name. But that's not the point. You've insulted her. And if you insult my daughter…you…insult…me." With that, Trini went into a Preying Mantis stance. "Prepare to defend yourself!"

Kat stared incredulously at the other woman. Then she doubled over with laughter.

Trini scowled. "You dare to continue to insult my honor?"

"You…you…you…" Kat could not contain her mirth. "You're that Trini they all used to talk about. Oh, they were so right about that ridiculous fighting method of yours." Kat still remembered the impromptu competitions among the guys as to who could imitate Trini the best.

"That does it!" Trini was now seething. "Prepare to die!" With that, she whipped out her old dinomorpher. "It's morphing time! Sabertooth Tiger!" Two seconds later, the Yellow Ranger was standing threateningly over Kat.

Kat sobered up quickly. "Whoa! Wait just a minute! I thought it was part of your code not to fight the defenseless. I thought we…uh…I mean you Rangers weren't allowed to morph in front of others. I thought you weren't allowed to escalate a fight. I thought…"

"…that my best friend wouldn't send me a picture of the slut who stole her boyfriend?" Trini sneered.

Kat gaped incredulously at the Yellow Ranger. "What? Uh, I don't know what you're talking about. I don't know of this boyfriend you said I stole. I'm uh…just a regular citizen." As she blathered on, Kat backed up slowly towards the door.

"Heeeeaaaaahhh!" Trini flipped over Kat and blocked her exit. "Nice try, Pink Ranger," she said as she tapped Kat's wrist, "but I think I know a morpher when I see one." Trini decided not to mention the time she tried to grab a very expensive watch off the president's wrist. Luckily, she had been too fast for the Secret Service.

Kat sighed. "Ok, fine. But even so, I didn't steal Tommy, Kim broke up with him…through a letter of all things!"

"Oh, come off it," growled Trini. "Billy sent us a copy of that letter for a laugh. Tommy's the only one thick-headed enough not to notice your return address on the top of the page. That's the main reason Kim hasn't made a big deal about it. She's told me more than once that you two idiots are perfect for each other."

Kat flipped her hair and gave a poised smile. "Why thank…hey! You're kid's named after Zordon!"

Trini rolled her eyes. "Wow, I guess that brain of yours is slow to start, huh?"

Kat ignored the insult. "Well, it is nice that you chose to honor our old mentor in this way. I mean, after all he did to guide us as Rangers and then the way he sacrificed himself. Yes, Zordonia is such a wonderful name." As she talked, Kat tried not to giggle. The poor kid would probably need therapy when she got older.

"Honor, nothing!" sneered Trini. "I named her after her father."

"WHAT?! You…you mean? But he just had a head! How could he?"

"Hey, that dirty old geezer kept everything else hidden. 'Come in my tube, I need someone to polish my head,' he said." Trini snorted. "Yeah, I fell for that one all right. Why'd you think I ran off to that stupid Peace Conference with steroid boy and the dancing fool?"

"And you called me a slut?" mumbled Kat. Then she gave yet another phony smile. "Well, if there's nothing else I can do for you, I really should get set up for my next class. They'll be here in fifteen minutes. That'll give me…"

"…Just enough time to kick your butt." The still-morphed Trini went into her Preying Mantis stance once again.

"Oh, the 'honor' thing, right," sighed Kat. She quickly summoned her Zeo Morphers. Two seconds later the Pink Zeo Ranger was staring at the Yellow Sabertooth Tiger Ranger. "Now what?"

"Heeeeayaaaah!" Trini rushed over and began kicking and hitting Kat in a flurry of blows. "That's for insulting my little girl! That's for calling me a slut! That's for stealing Tommy from my best friend! That's for making fun of the Preying Mantis! That's for having prettier hair than I! That's for being a fat ballerina!"

Kat attempted to block off the hits. She soon realized that there was only one thing she could do. "Toooooommmmmmeeeeeeee!"

"Oh, cool!" came a small boy's voice. "The Power Rangers are beating on each other!" Five seconds later, the room was filled with five and six year olds pounding and kicking on each other. Ten seconds later, angry parents were taking their children out of class.

"Wait!" cried a now desperate Kat. "Don't leave! That was just uh just a demonstration on how to defend yourself from mentally deranged super heroes! No, please, I need the money to pay for my way back to Australia. Please! I've got to get away from these lunatics!" The Pink Ranger continued to plead as she ran out of the studio after the departing clients.

Trini demorphed and brushed some invisible dust off her pants. Turning to face the mirror, she began to practice her Preying Mantis moves. "Oh my God!" she shouted to no one in particular. "Why didn't anyone tell me how goofy I looked?!" She shook her head as she left the room. She should've known there was something wrong when she saw the black paint flake off Master Li's belt.
