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.

Sydney and Maya
by
Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)
"Ew, I broke a nail," moaned Sydney as soon as she and the others had demorphed from their latest battle against the giant version of Cindy Sunshine. She still couldn't get the screeching tantrum Mora threw after her darling doll's destruction out of her mind. She also couldn't understand the point of using the inanimate object to fight the Rangers. The ugly doll just flopped there and it only took them a minute to destroy it. Sydney grabbed a nail repair kit from a pocket dimension (she didn't care that it was supposed to only be for Ranger related items, her nails were vital to her). Then she began filing down the offending nail. By now the other Rangers had simply rolled their eyes in annoyance and went back to the base.
"Hmmmhmmmmhmmmm," hummed Sydney as she pursued her favorite activity after going to the spa and spending her daddy's money. She let her mind wander to a lot of things...but especially to him. She had fallen madly in love with one of the Rangers as soon as she had met him. He was just the handsomest Ranger ever. But how would she get him to notice her...? Of course, a nice new rawhide bone! Sydney sighed. Yes, Cruger was definitely handsome with his blue snout.
PING the nail file flew out of her hand. "What the?" snapped the startled Pink SPD Ranger as she whirled around. Behind her stood a seething almost middle-aged woman. "What was that for? Who the hell are you?"
"You...you...horrible human..." Maya began. "How dare you hurt such a innocent creature!"
Sydney had already grabbed a spare file from the pocket dimension and began working on her nails again. "What innocent creature? It was just some gigantic moldy old doll owned by a super brat." PING the nail file flew out of her hand again. "Hey! I don't have an endless supply of these, you know," snarled Sydney as she grabbed a third file from the pocket dimension.
Maya was losing her patience. She was visiting Earth as an ambassador from Mirinoi. The others had insisted that she was the best qualified as she was a native Mirinoin who had the most experience with the Earthers who now overran her planet. No one had realized just how fertile the Mirinoin water would make them. Even the male Earthers were giving birth. Maya did feel some pride at having such an important position. She didn't realize that the other Rangers...well Kendrix and Karone... had insisted on her being ambassador to get her out of the way. No way would they let jungle girl keep on hogging all the cute Ranger guys.
"You," she repeated as she pointed at Sydney. "How could you chop that poor creature into pieces like that?"
"What are you? Some PETA nutjob?" asked Sydney who was now buffing her nail. "I hope Fifi's Fingernail Boutique has an emergency opening." She pulled her shiny pink diamond-trimmed cellphone out. Whack! it flew out of her hand as well. "Hey! My Daddy paid good money for that!"
"Stop avoiding my question!" Maya shouted. "I heard those cadets talking about how you chopped that poor dog up and left him for the scrapheap."
"What!" shrieked Sydney. Poor dog? Did something horrible happen to her darling Cruggy? Kat...it had to be her. Ever since Sydney had accidentally let it slip to her about her crush the feline-like alien had been hacking hairballs onto her bed.
"Just because he had taken your silly stuffed toy. That's no reason to destroy him. Besides," continued Maya looking pointedly at the charred remains of Cindy Sunshine. "You're one to judge."
"Oh," said Sydney in relief as she realized what the woman in the stinky yellow dress was saying. The commander was safe. Then she felt a twinge of guilt. "Oh, oh, I never thought of that." She began to cry.
Maya smiled, pleased that the current Pink Ranger was finally seeing the light and showing remorse. "Well, maybe you could volunteer for a year or two at the..."
"That poor girl. We destroyed her dolly," wailed Sydney. "I'd be crushed if anything happened to my Peanuts."
"...local shelter." Maya's eyes narrowed.
"Oh, I have to get that poor little girl a new dolly," sniffed Sydney. It slipped her mind that brat had been trying to kill her and her friends with the giant doll.
Maya glared at Sydney. "Who cares about some stupid toy! What about that poor dog you killed and tossed into the scrap heap."
"Actually it was the recycling cart."
"Oh, well I guess someone who recycles isn't all bad," conceded the former Yellow Galactic Ranger. "But you still..."
"And R.I.C.'s made of metal, he's not a living dog." Sydney looked pointedly at the other woman. "And if you had gotten all your facts straight, you would've know that I took him off the recycling cart and had him upgraded." She pulled out her morpher and pressed a button. "In fact..."
"Yeeeeooowww!" cried Maya as she grabbed her smoking behind. She whipped around and saw the robotic dog. You mean that's..."
"Fetch the nice Yellow chew toy, R.I.C." commanded Sydney.
"Nooooooo!" shouted Maya, running away from the yapping robotic animal. "Call him off! Call him off!" she cried as they ran down the street.
Sydney smirked to herself as she reached into the pocket dimension to grab another nail file. "No one, but no one interrupts me when I'm doing my...noooooo!" she cried as she realized she was out of nail files.
