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. Thanks to Joe Rovang and SirStack for their Writer's Guide to the Power Rangers Universe which I rely on a lot.

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

This is story number thirty. Remember, you may request a pairing until July 31. Please check out what I've written under "When Rangers Meet" as well as this series to make sure you don't request a pair I've already done.

Ok, I have bit of trouble with the timing of things. I thought Lost Galaxy was five years after Space, but the teamups seem to mess that up. So, I'll just have Dana be slightly younger than Andros. This is taking place at the same time Turbo occurred (you'll see why).

Andros and Dana

Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)

Andros looked around cautiously before knocking on the door. He frowned in frustration then prepared to knock again.

"Don't bother," said the young blonde teenager. "They're not there."

Great, just great, thought Andros. He had been searching for his younger sister ever since she had disappeared when she was four and he was six. Since he had once heard that children ran away to these a lot, he had started by searching all the circuses in the galaxy. It wasn't until three years and tons of therapy to convince him that the bearded lady was not his mother and father come back to life in one body later, that he remembered that Karone had been kidnaped and never ran away.

Then he placed a missing persons ad in several newspapers and magazines around the galaxy. He had received many rumors and leads but none of them panned out. Depending on the type of tip he received, Andros had visited a wide variety of hospitals, schools, offices, hotels, stores, parks, morgues, etc.. He had followed every single lead...well, except for the one lunatic who claimed Karone was the new princess of evil traveling on a space ship and engaged to a living pile of rocks. But, then again, Zhane had always come up with bizarre theories. He didn't have time to waste on such nonsense.

"I don't have time to waste on such nonsense," moaned the teenaged Kerovian. The only reason I am even on this backwater planet is because I picked up one of these business cards on Horath. He held out the card that stated 'Bulk and Skull's Detective Agency...no problem too big or too small (cash up front).' "I figured if these Earthers were that well known, they have to be the best."

Dana snorted. "The best, my ass. I've been camped out here for over a week and so far no one's shown up. Well, aside from two monkeys who keep popping up on occasion and squishing bananas into the lock as if they were keys." The fourteen year old had been looking for her older brother ever since he had disappeared. Sure, Dad claimed that he had given the then six year old boy to a demon, but even she wasn't stupid enough to believe that story. Captain Mitchell tried to convince her that she was blocking some kind of accident out of her memory, but she knew better. Her gamblaholic of a father had probably lost the boy in a fierce poker game.

"So, I'm wasting my time searching for my long lost little sister on this idiotic planet of losers? I wasted all that fuel traipsing to Earth for no good reason?" He decided not to mention that he had spent the first five months on Earth visiting amusement parks to assure himself that none of the 'Earther rides' could hold up to his darling Megaship.

"Yeah," sighed Dana. "I can't believe I wasted so much time here. But I really need to find my older brother."

Andros paused in his ranting. "So, your missing someone also? It really is difficult, isn't it?"

"Yeah, that and I won't get to inherit Mariner Bay unless I can prove he's really dead." Dana's face suddenly darkened. "Hey! What do you mean 'idiotic planet of losers?' What are you? Some kind of stuck up alien? Or just some total nut job?"

"Huh?" asked Andros who had been rattling the doorknob and pounding on the door. He gave up on the door and turned back to Dana. "So, you've been here over a week? Do you know where I can find a gas station that provides rocket fuel?"

"Well, that answers my question," murmured Dana. "Definitely nuts."

Andros ignored this. "Well, I'll tell you one thing. I'm never coming to Earth again. I mean what's the point of even being on this worthless planet? It's not like I'd ever make friends here." He already knew these particular humans couldn't even master something as simple as telekinesis. How could he ever think to associate with them?

Dana stared at him incredulously. "I can't believe I wasted all this time waiting here, just so I could meet some egotistical space case. Good thing my dad thinks I'm on a very long class trip." stated Dana as she began to gather all here stuff to go. "But, I'd better hurry home. I'm sure he'll need a break from working on those new Ranger powers sooner or later and I ..."

Andros snorted at this. "Wait a second? Ranger Powers? Do you mean that you Earthers are going to have Power Rangers? On this backwater planet?" He completely broke up and was soon rolling on the floor laughing.

"Going to have?" scoffed Dana. "There's already a team here in Angel Grove." She pulled something out of a bag. "Look, I even got their autograph photo. Some day, I'd love to be a Ranger myself," she said dreamily. "Maybe the Yellow one, or better yet, the Red one. I mean it's about time for a woman to lead.. Well, anything but Pink...yeeeshh."

Andros nodded absentmindedly as he studied the photo in shock. "I don't believe it. Wait, is that Zordon in the background? How the hell did you get a picture with him in it?" He turned it over. "'Darling Kim, please remember all we had done together, all we had been through together. How can you leave all this? How can you leave me for some loser gymnast? After all I've done for you, you'd rather have a scrawny girly-man? You stuck up spoiled little...'" the rest of it was scribbled out.

"Actually, I picked it up off the ground on my way here. You mean that big head has a name? I just thought it was some kind of bizarre reflection or something. This'll really bring me some big bucks for when I start medical school." Dana quickly grabbed the photo back and put it back in the bag. Then she picked up all her bags. "Well, that's it for me. Good luck."

"Wait!" cried Andros as Dana headed for the door. "Didn't you say you're missing an older brother?"

"Yeah, so?" asked Dana.

"Well, I'm missing my younger sister. And I was wondering if..."

"Ryan?"

"Karone?"

"NAH!" they both shouted at once in complete relief at not having to be related to the other.
