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 nineteen. It had been requested by Tony Shanks. It's a bit long. I'm just having trouble finding a way to end my stories lately. But, I hope you enjoy this anyway :).

Maya and Jen

Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)

Maya yawned as she stepped out of the hut to watch the Mirinoin sunset. "Such a beautiful sight," she thought to herself. If only she had one of former teammates…one of her former male teammates to be specific, here to share it with her.

But that was not to be. Although Maya had tried to convince her tribe leaders about the benefits of having indoor plumbing and cable television, they refused to try anything new. This didn't sit well with the citizens of Terra Venture. So, the crew somehow managed to reopen the wormhole to the moon base and most of them, including the Rangers, jumped through. What made it worse was that her so-called friends had jumped through in the middle of their welcoming party. It wasn't her fault she hadn't noticed them sneak away. She was too busy tasting all the cakes.

And did anyone ever come back for a visit? No. And Maya knew it wasn't because they couldn't, because she had once spotted Leo pulling his saber back out of the stone and then jumping back through the wormhole. Maya smirked evilly to herself as she thought of the snare she had attached to the sabers. The next person who tried to pull a saber back out without saying "hello" to her first would get a nice surprise involving a wasplike insect nest and quicksand.

She was shaken out of her reverie by a loud boom! Maya looked up to realize that a funny-looking ship was now blocking the sunset as it crash-landed. Maybe it was one of her former teammates, finally come to see her, she thought excitedly as she ran towards it.

"Damn, why didn't I pay attention when Lucas tried to teach me how to land these stupid time ships?" murmured Jen as she shook sand out of her undergarments and pried a crablike creature off her nose. She had forgotten that she had spent that day mentally planning a way to get both Wes and Alex to live with her on one of those planets that permitted women to have two or more husbands. What a naïve idiot she was back then.

She looked around the pristine beach and the huts surrounding it. "Oh great, I pick a place to run away to, and it turns out to be a reject of Gilligan's Island." She saw the smiling Maya approaching her. "And here comes fricking Mary Ginger Ann."

"Hello, welcome to Mirinoi," began Maya, a smile plastered on her face. "I am Maya, and I…"

"Mirinoi, huh?" asked Jen and she straightened her Time Force jacket. "It figures. And I guess you are the famous Yellow Galaxy Ranger."

"Yep," replied Maya proudly. "Well, at least I was a Ranger. But those days are over now." God forbid all of the former Yellow Rangers got together to go on a mission, she seethed. Oh no, it was always the self-important Red egotists who got to…

Jen interrupted Maya's musings. "Well, then I guess I can't really stay here too long. Alex and Wes will both know of this planet if it's had Rangers on it. I just can't let them find me." She looked at the ship and noticed that it was tipped over to one side. "Oh great, I don't suppose you know where I can rent a crane?"

"I can do better than that," said Maya enthusiastically. "Wait here, I'll be right back." She ran back past the hut and into the encroaching jungle.

"Oh fine, just leave me all alone on a strange planet!" shouted Jen as she tried to push the ship back onto its bottom. "My Yellow Ranger would've straightened this ship out by now!" The ship creaked as she continued to shove against it, and tipped over…completely upside down.

"Yeeeeeowwww!" screamed Jen as she grabbed her foot and hopped around. She shouted out every curse word she knew as she held her now purplish foot.

"I said I'd be right back!" called Maya as she reappeared on the back of a large creature with golden brown fur and massive jaws.

"Are you nuts?" cried Jen as she dove behind a large rock. Peeking over its edge, she watched suspiciously as Maya said something to the humungous animal. A few seconds later, it had the ship in its jaws. "No!" she called as she jumped over the boulder. "Don't let it swallow my…oh," she finished lamely as the ship was placed right side up.

"Good girl, Fluffy," murmured Maya as she scratched the animal between it's ears. "Down, please." As soon as Fluffy knelt, she slid off and pulled what looked like a gigantic dog biscuit out of her jungle outfit. She held out the treat to the creature who gently grabbed it with her teeth before lumbering back into the jungle.

"You can talk to animals?" asked Jen disbelievingly.

"Everyone here can," bragged Maya.

"Wow, that's great."

"It's not so great when you have various animal unions constantly demanding increased rights," said Maya. "Why do you think we haven't cleared out some of the jungles on this planet? They're better negotiators than us."

Jen blinked in confusion. "Oh, uh well, thank you anyway for your assistance. Well, I guess I should get going now."

"What? Why? You just got here." Maya grinned conspirationally. "Does it have something to do with this Alexannwes you mentioned? Are you a fugitive of some type?" She edged closer. "Did you kill someone?" she whispered eagerly.

Jen sighed. "Not yet." She leaned against the time ship. "And it's Alex and Wes. Alex is my former fiancé from the year 3001 and Wes is my current soon to be ex-husband from the year 2001."

Maya grabbed Jen by the arm. "You'd better get in the shade over there. I think that crash along with this heat is melting your mind."

"I'm fine," said Jen shaking Maya off her. She looked around. "Time for Time Force!" She morphed into her Pink Time Force Uniform. "See? I'm a Time Force Ranger." Then she quickly demorphed. "And this is my time ship."

"Wow, you're allowed to do that?" asked Maya.

Jen shrugged. "It's not like anyone's going to notice on this primitive planet. And I can just read the history logs. If you blab, I can just come back in time again and kill you." She glared warningly at Maya.

Maya paled and backed up. "Oh…okay. So, why are you running from those guys?"

"Well, of course Alex is after me because I stayed back in time with Wes after I came back to help defeat the mutorgs. But, then again, he's just a by the book jerk anyway."

"Uh huh?" prodded Maya, rubbing away the confusion headache from her temples. "And what about Wes? Didn't the marriage work out?"

Jen burst out in tears. "Do you honestly think I'd be time hopping if it did? I…I thought he loved me. He said so. We fought together to defeat Ransik. So I married him and slaved for him and had his six kids." She grinned briefly. "Heh, now he's stuck with those little monsters."

"Wow, and you think I'M primitive? Talk about sending women back a thousand years," murmured Maya. "But you still haven't told me why you left him. Was it because he made you become the ultra housewife?"

Jen sniffled and wiped her face with her sleeve. "No, that wasn't it. I knew what I was getting into when I signed the prenup agreement. But I had to draw the line somewhere. I mean it was just inhumane."

Maya became concerned. "Did he hit you?"

Jen rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. If he did that, he wouldn't be walking straight anymore."

Maya groaned impatiently. "Well then what happened? Oh wait, I bet he cheated on you. Guys are like that."

Jen paused for a moment. "You know? I was finding those extra evenings he spent patrolling with Eric to be a bit suspicious. I wonder…" She shook her head. "But that's not it either."

"Then what was it?" shouted Maya, her patience completely used up. "Why in the gods' names would you be running from two men who love you? Why?" Her face screwed up and she began to cry herself. "It's not fair. I can't get ANYONE to go out with me. All of my former teammates have abandoned me. No one LOVES me!"

"Well maybe if you actually washed that outfit of yours and used some deodorant," suggested Jen while fanning her nose.

Maya completed disregarded her. "But you…you have not one, but two men who want you. And what do you do? You run away. And why may I ask?"

"He expects me to do the windows," replied Jen. "I specifically put that I didn't do windows in the pre-nup. But that jerk keeps nagging me to wash them. Do you know how many windows that damned mansion of his has?"

Maya's face turned completely white. "W…windows?" She loomed threateningly over Jen. "You had me hanging by a thread over this story and it turns out it's simply because …YOU…WON'T…DO…WINDOWS?" She shoved Jen hard with each word.

Jen raised her hands to shove back. But then thought better of it when Maya began to growl ferociously. "Uh, I really should get going before anyone else sees me here. Nice meeting you." She rushed around to the ship entrance, unheeding of the footprint she left in the odorous 'gift' Fluffy had left. Ten seconds later, the ship took off.

"Wait!" called Maya to the departing ship as she finally shook off her unusual burst of anger. "Come back! Don't leave me! I'll bake you a cake! Come baaaaaack!
