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-five. It was requested by raven the half demon. Wow, Trini's gotten into a lot of these stories lately. Oh well, that's just the way it goes.

Oh, and please read the three stories I submitted just before this one.

Kim and Trini

by

Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)

"You came! You really came!" squealed Kim when she had answered the front door. "Come on upstairs, I have everything ready." She happily skipped up the stairs. The six year old girl was very excited. She had finally made a new friend...well, a new female friend that is. Sure, she was already friends with Jason and Zack, but the last time she had suggested a tea party to them, those Neanderthals ended up imitating the Boston Tea Party by dumping her toy cups and plates into her toilet bowl. And for some reason, she just couldn't get any of the girls in her class to come over to play with her. She had no idea it was because of the rumor going around that she had been kissing Farcus Bulkmeyer in his tree house. The other little girls simply didn't want to catch any cooties.

Trini rolled her eyes at her new friend's enthusiasm. It would probably take all her patience, but she would stick with the deal she made with the other girls. She would be this hyperactive kid's friend and keep her out of their hair and away from the cute boys. In turn, they had promised to pay her. With the karate lessons she planned on taking, she'd take care of that geeky boy who kept on babbling long words at her. Either that, or she'd get a technical dictionary.

Kimberly skipped around her room, pleased with how it looked. Before Trini came, she had made sure her pink matching curtains and canopy bed were spotless, her dolls were nicely dressed, and her doll house was nice and shiny. She had already set out the cups and plates for tea. She had set out her play jewelry and play makeup neatly on her dresser. Her first slumber party would be sure to go on without a hitch.

"How'd you like my room?" she asked her guest. "Isn't it the prettiest color ever?"

"Looks like some fairies have gone bonkers in here," mumbled Trini.

"Huh?"

"Oh, I said it's just like a fairyland," Trini said with fake enthusiasm. This wasn't going to be easy.

Kim motioned Trini over to the small table. "Let's have some tea."

"Oh, I like tea," Trini commented as she sat on the small chair. Two seconds later, she was on the floor as the legs gave way.

"Oops," stated Kim sheepishly. "I forgot to glue that together." She had broke it only a few days ago, but decided not to tell her parents. They had warned her several times not to practice her back flips up in her room.

"Uh, that's okay, I'll just sit on the floor, it's safer." Trini looked around. "What kind of tea are we having anyway? Green tea? Oolong?" She was getting thirsty from the strong perfumed scent that wafted through the room.

"Here, I'll pour for us." Kim took the toy teapot and pretended to pour the tea into toy cups. She stuck the cups in front of the two dolls that had been sitting at the table. She gave the third cup to Trini. Then she took a fourth cup and pretended to drink.

Trini looked forlornly at the empty cup. "It's empty."

Kim looked at her strangely. "Haven't you ever had tea parties?"

"Well, my parents have tea every day. And if it's a special occasion, we make it into a party." Trini held the cup out to Kim. "Can I have something to drink, please? The odor in here is really making me thirsty."

Kim looked puzzled, then her face lit up. "Oh, you want something real to drink. Sure!" She took the cup and ran to the other side of the room. A minute later, she was back with a full cup.

"Thanks," said Trini who grabbed the cup and downed it in one gulp. "EEEWWWW!" she sputtered in disgust. It tastes just like...fish!" She heard Kim giggle and then saw the fishbowl across the room. "What's the big idea?"

Kim stopped giggling. "That's for saying my room smells and for ruining my nice tea party." She began to cry. "All I wanted was to have a tea party and you messed it all up!"

"Yeah?" countered a now annoyed Trini, "maybe I should've asked for a barf bag as well. All this pink makes me sick."

"Well, at least I'm not dressed up like a banana." Kim pointedly looked up and down the other girl's yellow blouse and pants.

Trini scowled. "Yellow's a much better color. In fact," she stepped over to Kim's art table and grabbed a yellow marker, "I think it would make this room look better!" She ran around the room streaking the wall with the marker.

"Come back here!" screamed Kimberly as she chased the other girl. "If my mom sees my wall all messed up, she'll cancel my gymnastics lessons!" She needed those lessons; it was the only hope she would ever have of getting out of this boring town when she grew up. After all, it wasn't as if anything exciting would ever happen in Angel Grove.

Trini suddenly stopped, realizing what she had done and feeling a bit ashamed. Then she realized that she was standing on top of Kim's bed, and the feeling changed to fear. "Help! Help!" she hollered. "It's too high! Help! Get me down!"

Kim stared at her unbelievingly. "What are you screaming about? Just get off the bed."

But Trini just kept calling for help. The yellow-clad child's eyes were filling with tears.

"You're shoes are messing up my bedspread," Kim stated. She hopped onto the bed and then grabbed Trini. A second later they were both on the floor.

"You...you saved my life!" exclaimed Trini as she gave Kim a hug. "I owe you my life! I am forever in your debt! I will be your friend forever!"

"Great!" replied Kim who had headed into the adjoining bathroom. "You can come over here every night for the next few weeks..."

"Well, maybe not forever..."

Kim returned and slapped a spray bottle and a sponge into Trini's hands. "...because it's going to take you that long to clean my wall!"

Trini opened her mouth to protest. Then she shrugged and began to scrub as Kimberly spritzed even more perfume into the air.
