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.

Sorry it took so long for me to get the next story out. It's a combination of being too busy with work and just not being in a crazy enough mood.

Well, this is story sixteen. This was requested by RedLion2000. Sorry I didn't do a Zord fight as you suggested, but I really can't choreograph such things.

I am resubmitting this because I neglected the quotation marks. Thanks for telling me, Dagmar. My brain needs a jump-start.

Leo and Cole

By

Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)

"Ring….Ring….Ring…"

"Hello?"

"Yes, hello. Is this Leo Corbett?"

"Yes, speaking. Who are you?"

"Cole, Cole Evans."

"Huh? No thanks. We don't need any coal here on Mirinoi. We love living the old-fashioned way. With no lights, no cars, no television, no…sob what the HELL was I thinking when I stowed away?"

"What are you talking about? You guys can travel between Earth and Mirinoi using that suspiciously convenient portal hole thingy. Anyway, I thought you guys brought all those conveniences with you. I mean, you are using a telephone at the moment, aren't you?"

"Yeah well, Commander Stanton forgot to bring extra batteries…"

"Oh, never mind all that. Look, I just saw your ad for Red Lion parts on Ebay. And I must say…"

"Really? Are you interested in purchasing any? I'd love to make some room in my garage. Besides, every time my big brother comes over and sees it, he begins to sob and whine about his Torozord. I wouldn't normally mind, but the last time he did it, we were double-dating these hot Mirinoi twins. The crying was bad enough, but he just had to usehis date'sshirt to blow his nose on."

"GARAGE! It's not bad enough you kidnapped him from the Animarium? You had to shove him into a filthy, smelly garage? That's no way to treat a sentient being."

"Ani-what? Never even heard of it. Besides, I never bought that hippie crap from Maya about the GalacticZords being sentient. I mean they're just metal hunks after all."

"Oh sure, deny everything. Deny that you snuck on the floating island. Deny that you are looking to sell parts of the Red Lion Zord."

"Floating island? How much did you drink before calling here? Of course I'm selling Zord parts. I don't need my Red Lion Zord now that I'm not a Ranger anymore. I tried to pull that stupid sword back out but it seems I was only allowed to do it when…hey wait just a damned second."

"What?"

"I remember you. We met a few years ago. On that Serpenterra mission. You were that idiotic hotshot rookie who flew into its mouth."

"What'd you mean by that? If it weren't for me, Serpenterra would've destroyed us all. It was big and scary. Besides, I wanted…"

"To impress Jason? Yeah I saw how you looked at him every time he called you rookie. You were practically drooling."

"Oh, that's very funny….not! I meant to say that I wanted to get rid of it because Red Lion was scared shitless of it. You know what it's like hearing a big cat whine in your brain? Well, I just had to….hey! Nice try distracting me. But I'm still going to report you to the galactic police for theft."

"What theft? I'm selling parts from my own Red Lion Zord. I don't know what happened to yours. When did you first notice it was missing?"

"Notice? Uh, actually, I haven't been on back on the Animarium since Princess Shayla kicked us off to take another long nap. Sheesh, talk about your narcoleptics."

"So, your Red Lion is currently rusting away up there?"

"Well, no, I'm sure it's…"

"You just told me that you haven't seen your Lion Zord for years and that the only person who's up there is a female Rip Van Winkle? Talk about your animal abandonment."

"I never thought…"

"No, no one ever thinks about his or her poor abandoned Zord. Why I heard only last month that the famous DragonZord got so sick and tired of waiting in Angel Grove Lake that it came ashore on it's own and devoured Tommy's house and race track. Not that it matters, since from what I hear from TJ and Wes, he's been mumbling insanely about dinosaurs trying to take over the world and about leading a new Ranger team."

"Poor guy. It's sad how some of us just can't let go."

"Isn't it? Anyway, I'm going to go report you to the SPCA for how you left your poor LionZord and all those other animal Zords up there to just break down and probably starve to the point that they've started to eat each other."

"No! No! I'm sorry! I didn't realize!"

"No one ever does. Well, I'm going to hang up now. The authorities will really love to hear about you. Good…"

"Wait! I'll fix it! I'll get up there somehow! I'll make a giant ladder or something! I'll go up and live there with all the animals and polish them and take care of them. I'll make sure they never go hungry again. I'll….HEY! WAIT JUST A FRICKIN' SECOND! They don't eat! And they've taken care of themselves for the three thousand years that the Princess was asleep before we met her."

"Hehehe…but are you positive that your Red Lion isn't pining away for you right at this moment?"

"Uh…. Red Lion! Daddy's coming Baby! (click)"

"Hehehehe….YEEEEOOOOWWWW! (to someone (or something)else in the same room). Quit shooting fire at my butt! That does it! I'm gonna give you away for free on Ebay. (click)."
