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 fourteen. This was requested by the one, the only…me! Sorry, but I have had the final joke of this running in my head ever since I started doing these stories last year. Uh…well enjoy.
Billy and Rocky

"Come in," announced Billy at the rap on his door.
"Hey, Billy!" blurted Rocky as he entered the room. "Uh, how are wife and kids? I hope everyone is…"
"Mr. DeSantos," said Billy sternly, "that is NOT how you address me." The last thing he wanted to talk about was Cestria. It was bad enough they had gotten divorced after she had caught Billy eyeing some of the native mermaids. But he still had to travel to Aquitar every month to pick up the kids for weekly visitations.
Rocky stopped and lowered his head. "Sorry, I mean Professor Cranston." Inwardly he fumed. Just because the original Blue Ranger had managed to graduate University in just six months, he thought he could lord it over everyone.
"That's better. Now, Mr. DeSantos, it has come to my understanding that you have failed the make-up test that I have given you in remedial biology." He grinned as he watched Rocky squirm. It had taken almost ten years, but he finally had revenge on the one who had stolen his blue powers… his …beautiful …blue ….Ranger …Powers ….in …. the…hands…of…an…idiot…
"Professor Cranston?" asked Rocky hesitantly at the sound of Billy's heavy breathing and the sight of his crazed eyes. "Uh, Billy?"
"….who….can't …." Whap! "Yeowch!" cried Billy as he put his hand to his now-red cheek. "Mr. DeSantos, that's going to cost you an extra paper…due tomorrow…on the mestibular contutions of the Eltarian sea slug and the Triforian mud slug."
Rocky groaned. "Oh, come on, Billy! I'm sorry I spanked you, but no one is ever going to pass your stupid remedial class with stuff like that. It's way too hard and no one gets it. Besides, I don't know how Zordon is even letting you get away with mentioning our allies' planets."
Billy rolled his eyes. Rocky was still unaware that Zordon was gone. He and the others had opted not to clue him in as they enjoyed his confusion about their unexplainable 'disobedience' to Zordon's rules. His favorite so far had been when Tommy had plastered Zordon and Alpha's pictures on the side of his racecar. "Hey I'm the leader this time. And what I say goes." Yeah, finally he was the leader. "I should've been in charge of the Rangers from the beginning," thought Billy. "After all I was the best and the brightest." He conveniently 'forgot' about all the times the others had to save his butt during their early fights.
Rocky groaned. Not again. "Billy? You're uh, drooling on those test papers. Billy?"
He'd been the one to stay all day and night at that damned Command Center. He'd been the one to invent the gadgets to pull the Ranger's butts out of the fire. But it was Tommy who had given Zordon the coupons for the facials and therefore ensured that the White Ranger would grab leadership from the Red Ranger. Billy was probably the only one who noticed the Tommy voodoo doll in Jason's locker.
"Billy! Come on! Snap out of it. I've got that pledge meeting in a half-hour." Rocky was very proud of himself. Just a few more stunts and he'd been a full-fledged member of Alpha Beta Duh. Funny how all the members were his former Ranger teammates. Funny how there were both men and women in the fraternity. Funny how most of them didn't even attend Angel Grove University with him. Funny how Billy was among the members even though he was a professor.
Oh, sure they had "allowed" him to lead when the others had been kids. Like Zordon had any other choice at that time. He should've known something was fishy when Zordon promised to make him the new leader if he gave up his claim to the Zeo crystal. The jerk only wanted him to stay back to make sure everything was in top maintenance, to keep the viewscreens and Zordon's tube well-windexed, and to keep Zordon and Alpha's porno tapes in order. But now…now…he finally had some power over his….
"Sploosh!" Billy snapped out of his reverie. "What the?! Why am I suddenly wet?" He looked up at Rocky who was holding a now half-empty aquarium tank. "Mr. DeSantos! You have just decided to flunk my course. I will send a note to the Dean asking for your immediate dismissal from the…"
"Hey Billy!" announced Rocky who hadn't even been paying attention to his biology professor, "I've been practicing for tonight's meeting! I'm gonna get into the fraternity tonight for sure. Look!" With that, he held the two fish from the tank over his open mouth.
"ROCKY!!!! NO!!!!" screamed Billy. "THOSE AREN'T GOLDFISH. THOSE ARE…"
GULP!
"MY BABIES!!!!"
