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-one. It was requested by Jason Barnett. 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.

To raven the half demon: I already paired up Kim and Kat (it's under 'When Rangers Meet.') Please choose a different pair of Rangers, thanks.

Make sure you read the two chapters I put in just before this one today. Thanks.

Kim and Taylor

"Hmmmmhmmmmhmmmhmmmm" Kim hummed happily along with the stereo in her Pterodactyl Zord. She still couldn't get over having the only fighting machine equipped with music, and never wasted an opportunity to remind Zack of this. Her friend had gone so far as to actually beg to trade colors with her just so he could have a chance at the advanced state of the art music system.

"Hey there!" came the young sounding female voice over Kim's communication system. There was the sound of athroat being cleared. "Uh...I mean attention, you are intruding in restricted airspace, please iden...identify yourself or I'll ummmmm...be forced to shoot." A giggling sound came. "Just kidding. Hey! That's one of them Zords I saw on T.V.!"

Kim opened her eyes and sat up quickly with a curse. She had become so engrossed with her music that she had forgotten to keep her eyes open and watch where she was going. She looked around quickly and realized she was nowhere near Angel Grove or the other Rangers. Zordon wouldn't be happy about this at all. She'd probably lose permission to plug her hair dryer and curling iron into the Command Center's systems.

"Hey! Are you there? Say something!" The voice now sounded a bit nervous. "'Cause I think I'm gonna smash into you!"

"What the?" cried Kimberly as she looked in her scanner. Sure enough, a commercial airplane was headed in her direction. She slapped on some buttons and pulled the lever and evaded it. "Are you, like, insane!" hollered Kim over the communications system. "What kind of pilot are you?"

"Oh, I'm not the pilot. He and the other guy are taking a nice nap so I'm helping them." Taylor decided it best not to mention that the 'nap' was the result of her running into the pilot's cabin and screaming about seeing the Animarium. The pilot and copilot had been so startled that they jumped up simultaneously and whumped heads together. "Do you know what a...l...t...i...t...u...d...e spells?"

Kim paled at this. "The pilot's unconscious and you're, like, flying the plane?" She tapped on her wrist communicator in hopes of getting Zordon's attention. He'd know how she could help these people. "Zordon, Zordon," she hissed into her wrist.

"Hey!" exclaimed Taylor. "I think if I pull these levers I can get this plane to do a flip. Wanna see?"

"Nooooo!" cried Kim as she watched the airplane do a loop de loop. She was certain she could hear some people screaming and vomitting in the background.

"That was great!" Taylor enthused, ignoring the pounding on the cabin door. "I'm gonna be a real pilot someday, maybe I'll even get to be a Power Ranger like you and fly my own Zord! Wanna see it again?"

"No! You can't do that with a passenger airplane, you'll hurt someone."

Taylor looked at the instrument panel. "Nah, I put the 'fasten seatbelt' sign on before I did it." She ignored her own mother's angry voice threatening a major spanking. "But I think all the barf bags have been used up."

"Like, that's so gross." Kim tapped again on her wrist communicator. "Zordon? Zordon? Come in, I've got an emergency here."

"Emergency?" boomed the mentor's furious voice. "We've got an emergency here, that you seem to have forgotten, Pink Ranger. The PuddingPop monster's already gotten big and with you not around, I had to send Alpha to replace your Zord in the MegaZord. Oooh, there goes his faceplate..."

"But Zordon," Kim moaned as the communicator went dead. "Oh, great."

"You know? If I tap these buttons in the right order, I can play Happy Birthday. Listen!"

"Don't play with the buttons like that." Kim suddenly realized something. "Like, you sound like a kid. What's your name? How old are you anyway?"

"I'm Taylor and I'm seven and a half." The young girl pulled the throttle and made the plane shoot up vertically. That would keep them up a bit longer. "What's your name, lady?"

"I can't tell you my name!" exclaimed Kim. "Zordon's already really mad at me." Kim's eyes narrowed. "Besides, what proof do I have that you're not a spy for Rita Repulsa?"

"No fair," grumbled Taylor. "I told you mine." She had to shout over the sound of the power drill at the cabin door. "Hmmm, wonder what this button does?"

Kim, who had again been frantically tapping on her wrist communicator, groaned as the plane flipped completely upside down. "Hey! Stop pushing those buttons, Taylor. Do what ever you just did, but backwards. That should get you right side up."

"No duh," replied Taylor as the plane righted itself. "Some expert you are. You can't even help a little girl fly a plane." She wasn't even paying attention to the now opening door or the wakening pilot.

Kim burst into tears. "I'm just a teenager myself! I don't know how to fly regular planes. I can only fly this thing because it's ingrained into my powers!" She began to get hysterical. "Everyone's going to die and it's all my fault! I'm so useless. I'm so stupid. I'm so..."

"No!" interrupted the younger girl's voice. "I don't wanna go back to my seat! I don't want a spanking! Put me down!" Her voice faded away as she was carried out of the cockpit.

Kim gave a quick sigh of relief as the airplane safely banked and headed on it's correct course again.

"...oooh...and there goes his butt cover. Pink Ranger, if you don't get your pretty little ass here in two minutes, I'll cause a power outage at the mall and make it shut down for a week!"

"Coming, Zordon!" responded Kim as she flew away at full speed.
