AN: This chapter is very short, but there will be plenty of fun in the next one. And dont forget how MAGICAL reviews are. They make more chapters appear, and without them the entire story will fade into nothingness.

"Working hard or hardly working?" A voice said from beside her locker, startling her. Kat smiled as Jason pulled her locker door back to reveal himself leaning against wall.

"Working hard, thank you very much," She replied, zipping her bag and closing her locker. "I'd ask you that same, but I already know your answer."

Jason smiled and pushed himself off the wall. "So you disappeared huh?" He wondered. Kat shook her head.

"I know it wasn't a date, and you know it wasn't a date, but tell them that." She pointed out, beginning to walk to class with him. It was anatomy, the last class of the day and they shared it.

Jason nodded. "Very true. Still, I don't know if I like the idea of being a mystery man." He mused. Kat giggled.

"You should have heard them this morning. The lecture I got… And then when I couldn't come up with a proper story they were sure I was lying. I'll never hear the end of it." She giggled, looking at the adorable look on Jason's face. "And Kim is determined to find out who I was with."

"It seems like it'll be a lot funnier to keep it a secret." Jason agreed. "Our little secret." He promised, holding up his right hand. Kat nodded.

"Honestly, our friends. What are we even keeping a secret anyways? I mean, it's not like it was a… date. Right?" She asked, stopping outside the door to their class. Jason shrugged.

"I guess not. I mean it's not like we were being… date-like." He replied. Then in an unsure tone, "Were we?"

"No. I mean, not if you don't want it to be." She answered. Jason took her words differently.

"Did you want it to be?" He asked slowly. Kat couldn't answer, though she felt her cheeks burning.

"Well, no. We were just good friends, seeing a movie. That's all." She said firmly. Jason nodded.

"Well um… class." He said, opening the door.

He held it open for Kat and they both wondered if he should have done that.

Behind the corner, Kim sniggered to herself and twiddled her thumbs in an evil way. So Jason and Kat had gone on a date. While she'd never thought of the Pink ranger and the Gold ranger together before, she had to admit that when she added it up, they made a very fine couple. Both caring, compassionate, lovable, strong individuals… yes, that would work out very nicely.

Kim was already devising a plan in her head. After all, they were some of her best friends. She'd known Jason since she was five, and Kat had inherited her powers. They both deserved to be happy, and it was Kim's duty as their friend to make it happen.

Or so she thought. Trini had mentioned something about bad things happening to people who meddled once, but Kim had never really listened.

Kat sighed, slipping into a nice warm bubble bath. This was what she needed after a long day of school, work and rangering. Her feet hurt and her shoulders were stiff, but the scent of the aroma therapy candle and the fluffy bubbles encasing her body were already removing the days stress, and Kat felt like she could melt into the water.

Then the phone rang. Kat wrinkled her nose in frustration and let out a little shriek. She sighed and stood from her tub of bubbled, reaching over to the counter and grabbing her phone.

"Hello?" She answered quickly, nearly growling into the phone.

"Kat?" Tanya's voice questioned. "Are you okay?"

"Oh, hi Tanya. Yes I'm fine; I'm just in the middle of a bubble bath." She stated, shivering and sinking back down into the bubbles.

"Oh sorry, didn't mean to interrupt." She apologized.

"No problem. What's up?" Kat pulled out the sponge and began rubbing her legs gently.

"Oh nothing urgent. I was just wondering if you wanted to help me and Adam and Jason tomorrow at the fieldtrip to the water park with the kids from the shelter. We're all going and we thought you might want to help." Tanya said, and Kat swore she heard a giggled in the background.

"Yeah, that sounds like a good idea. What time?" She asked.

"Around 3. We're all meeting at the youth center." Tanya said.

"Alright, see you then."

"Bingo." Tanya said as she hung up the phone. Kim practically squealed.

"Perfect. Now it's you and Adam with her and Jason. It's like a double date, but they won't see it that way." Kim said, sitting cross legged on the floor across from Tanya.

"You don't feel the slightest bit strange about setting them up?" Tanya asked. Kim shook her head.

"The attractions already there, so we're not doing anything that wouldn't happen naturally. We're just making it happen quicker." Kim stated.

Tanya giggled. "Okay. But are you sure I can't tell Adam?" She asked. Kim shook her head.

"Positive. If Adam finds out he'll spill the beans to Jason immediately. Guys talk. And while we might want the idea in his head, we certainly don't want it now." She grabbed her bag.

"I'll see you tomorrow, you conniving little fiend." Tanya called after her friend.

"Same to you!" Kim yelled back. "And don't forget, we're accomplices now. You're just as guilty as I am!"
