A/N: Sorry for the utter lack of updates on this story! Again if you don't read my other stories, graduation and moving to a new city just kinda got in the way for the past couple months. But here's a new chapter. I've kinda decided to extend the story a little bit, so I hope you still enjoy and that's alright.


Chapter 4: The Girls on Boom

"You know, Z, I'm normally not a fan of your whole fishnet and army boots thing," began Syd, smoothing down her glittery, hot pink mini-dress she'd chosen to wear to the club that night.

"Hey!" said Z, taking offense at the pink ranger's uncalled for jab.

"But," continued Syd, changing her tune. "You do look really nice tonight. You clean up good for the club."

"Thanks!" said Z pleased, spinning around in her skin-tight leather pants and a low-cut yellow tank top. "I think that's the first nice thing you've ever said about my clothes."

"And probably the last," teased Syd. "Look, there's Boom! Let's go see what he thinks of our outfits."

"Syd, you're horrible," chuckled Z, knowing exactly what the bodacious blonde was trying to pull on SPD's resident science lab assistant/tech geek.

"Booommmmm," cat-called Syd to the freckled figure coming down the hall. "What do you think of my dress?"

RIC, accompanying Boom, barked happily in his frisky, computerized yowl and wagged his upright doggy tail excitedly back and forth. Syd laughed loudly.

"Down boy," Syd teased to RIC. "Come on, Boom. Whatcha think?"

"Yeah come on, Boom," added Z, getting into the fun. "Don't Syd and I just look precious together?' she teased, pressing her darker cheek up against Syd's pale skin.

"That's just horrible!" moaned Boom in utter depression as he dashed by the girls. "It's the worst thing I've ever seen!"

"What the hell?" asked Z in angered shock.

"Gee Boom, that was a little harsh," whined Syd grumpily as her eyes turned to follow Boom down the hall. "Oh my goodness…" her voice trailed off.

The girls' jaws dropped as they saw Boom flee into the research lab from which clouds of dark, billowing smoke were drifting out. As Boom opened the lab door, a wretched stench poured forth. Giving a wild, He-Man like cry, Boom frantically waved his hands in the air before physically mustering himself and bravely charging into the lab explosion.

"It all goes ka-boom for Boom again," sighed Z, shaking her head.

"And he didn't even notice how pretty I looked," pouted Syd.

"Face it, Syd," chuckled Z. "Science will always be that boy's first love."

"I wouldn't go that far," said Syd. "But at least for now I'd agree with you."

"Why do you care if he notices you anyway?" asked Z.

"I want everyone to notice me!" exclaimed Syd self-importantly.

"True dat," agreed Z. "Come on, let's get out of here before Boom's ka-boom makes us start to smell, too."

A/N: Coming up next, the guys will dish on what they think of our dear Dr. Kat Manx!
