Best Friends In Blue Bay Harbour
The Date and Pranks
A/N: Okay, here's the thing, I've been so pre occupied with things this past week with exams. And my new boyfriend took me to see Johnny Yong Bosch. AKA Adam Park, 2nd Mastodon Black Ranger, 1st Green Turbo Ranger and I think, no, I know, Green Zeo Ranger. I got a signed autograph and all! It was so cool! And I'm dedicating putting Adam into this story somehow. So anyway, sorry for the late update. Enjoy!
Oliver Residence
Alison woke up with a bright smile on her face. She brushed her hair before going to the interconnected room that her best friend was in, probably still sleeping. She casually walked in her best friend's room and shifted the arrangement of Christina's blankets. She heard a groan coming from underneath the covers. She smirked and swiftly dragged the whole blanket off of Christina.
Christina looked at Alison with dare devil eyes. Her brilliant hair was bushy, she had bags under her eyes and before Alison could comment on how Christina should use a mirror to look at herself, Christina buried her head under her pillow.
"Chrissie, come on, get up!" Alison ordered as she put both her hands on her hips.
Christina's pillow started to move, indicating she was shaking her head. "Nu-uh." She murmured. "It's Saturday!"
"Come on," Alison sighed then dragged Christina's feet off the bed like she had done with her blanket. "We have a double date in three hours." Alison sing-songed.
"The reason why I'm acting like this." Christina retorted back. She stood up and walked into her bathroom to wash her face and looked at herself. "God, look at me. I have bags under my eyes." But really, she didn't care. The more unattractive she looked towards Conner, the better.
After breakfast, the bet friends got ready for their date. Christina picked boring casuals on. A baggy t-shirt tucked in with skinny jeans and a matching belt. She put a purple head band on and brushed her hair. She was applying make-up when Tommy called for Alison who was straightening her hair.
"Ali!" Tommy called.
Alison sighed as she came out of their room towards downstairs, holding the straightener and walked to Tommy's office. "Tommy, I'm still getting ready!" she complained. "What do you want?"
Tommy raised his eyebrows before chuckling. "At least say hi to your brother."
Alison face lit up and practically nudged Tommy aside as she saw who was on Skype. "Hey, Jase! Hey, Tri!" Alison greeted then thought about it for a while. "I mean, sis." From the other end of the chat, Trini and Jason chuckled.
"So, I hear you have a date?" Jason questioned as he saw his sister wearing a casual pink and red summer dress that Trini had gotten her on her birthday.
Alison sweat dropped and looked at Tommy, who pretended to be looking at an essay, but a smile played on his lips. She sent daggers his way before looking back at her brother. "No!" she waved the situation off. "Who told you that?"
Jason raised his eyebrows. "Lil' Al..." Jason said, waiting. He only called her 'Lil' Al' when he wanted answers and he was getting impatient. But back when he was still the red Mighty Morphin ranger, he called her that just for the fun of it. During the years, he'd finally realized that she was growing up as her usual nickname for him; 'JayJay' was never used again.
"Okay. We met him at the mall while we were bored last week and Tommy let us use his card to shop." Alison blurted out, sighing.
Jason raised his eyebrows once again. "Really? I thought Tommy never lets anyone use his card, not even Kim."
"Hey!" Kim walks in the room, rubbing her belly. "I heard that, Jase!"
Jason smirked. "Why, hello, there, Kimberly. Long time no see?"
Kimberly rolled her eyes and went back to finishing breakfast. She bumped into her 17 year old sister-in-law as the brunette rushed over to her best friend. "JayJay, please don't let Lil' Al make me go to the double date!" Christina whined.
Jason looks at Christina. "Oh, so, you're practically Alison's slave?" Jason and Tommy chuckled.
Christina frowned and folded her arms. "So not funny." she huffed.
"What's the big deal? It's just one date." Jason shrugged as Trini moved closer to him, although her body was covered in white blankets.
"Not just one date. One slow torture living hell-" Christina predicted but Alison cut her off.
"It's not my fault that my date's hotter than yours." Alison huffed, crossing her arms.
Christina rolled her eyes. "Whatever. And just so you know, they're identical twins; one can't be hotter than the other since they look exactly alike."
Alison smiled. "Maybe because you don't like Conner McKnight being your date." Alison nudged Christina. Christina frowned at her.
"Conner? Red ranger, Conner. My red ranger, Conner?" Tommy asked and the two best friends nodded.
"Well, hope you have fun, you guys, and lighten up a little for Conner, Chrissie. You never know, you might be," Trini shrugged. "Falling for him, in no time."
Christina put a disgusted face on. "Ewww, Trini! Gross. No. You haven't met Conner!"
"My bets are, he's kinda like Jason, but guess who turned out with him." Trini smiled.
Jason nodded before thinking about what Trini said. "Hey!"
Trini rolled her eyes. "Okay, we better go. Because someone owes someone else a back rub." Trini eyes Jason, who gives her a seductive smirk. Alison rolls her eyes at her brother and sister-in-law.
"Whatever, see ya later!" Alison says and shuts off the chat. "Okay, we have to go, Chrissie. Wouldn't want to keep our dates waiting."
Christina sighs as she mutters, "Here comes torture!"
Verdana Ali Quo, restaurant
Conner draped an arm around Christina's shoulders as Eric set the menu down and requested refreshments for all of them. Alison and Eric were engrossed in the new skate park that's being built near the school. While Christina was edging away, still, of Conner's grasps.
"Will you knock it off!" she hissed at the green eyed brunette.
Conner smirks and leans closer to her. "Oh, come on. You want me, Chrissie." He makes kissing sounds and puts his lips in a kissing formation.
Christina wants to puke. Then sees a bread loaf being handed to someone in the table next to them and grabs for one, stuffing it n Conner's open mouth. Conner opens his eyes and a bread loaf is sitting inside his mouth. Eric, Alison and Christina laugh. "Bro, bread got your tongue!" Eric exclaimed, laughing hysterically.
Conner frowned at his brother as he took the bread loaf out of his mouth. "Not funny."
"Hilarious." Christina challenged.
"You know what, whatever. I can see Alicia from the cheer team. I'll settle the scores with her." he smirked as he went to the blonde sitting alone in the bar.
Christina smiled slightly. "Don't worry about him," Eric told her. "He's a goofball."
"Yeah, at least, you have manners, Eric. What's with the dumb jock thing with him?" Christina asked.
Eric shrugged. "He never usually had it. We were kinda like equals when we were younger but that changed when I got accepted into private school and he didn't. He thought he wasn't good enough for that sort of geeky stuff so he took up soccer, made out with girls along the way and he doesn't care much anymore." Alison and Christina nodded, listening in, resting their heads at the base of their palms.
"You're so cute!" Alison exclaimed.
Eric smiled at her. "Why, thank you. Now, should we order?" he asked and they both nodded.
After the restaurant both girls were head over heels in love with Eric. Forgetting Conner, Christina day dreamed what it would be like if they were together. It would be amazing. She never really had a think for guys like this. She really was in love but the car ride home was horrible. Alison kept telling her that Eric was the one and she was going to ask him out next time she saw him. Eric had given Alison his number but not Christina which broke her heart. But, if she could get a date with Eric alone, maybe, just maybe he might give her his number, too. The only problem is that she and Ali were in love with the same guy. She hated that.
'At the end of this, there's going to be a lot of arguing.' she thought, miserably. She loved her best friend but she loved Eric also. She wanted him but how could she get him if Alison was in love with him, too. She just didn't know what to do.
School
Kira sighs as she was walking to the double doors of Reefside High school hall. Like any typical day, she had to walk to and from school. With what was going on in her life, she wanted to kill herself. Three sisters, Yukie, Reina and Rita, hated her. Because of what reason? Her mother, of course. For the seventeen years she's ever lived, her mother got her into hell. At least every year, her mother would get another boyfriend and would spoil her mother rotten until she was bored of him and moved on. She hated her mother, the most. Her boyfriends were alright but all she wanted was someone that could stop every bad thing her mother did to her. And yes, some days, she wished for her father back. Even though he left without a trace after her birth, it would be nice to spend a little time with him. The reason why the Ziktor sisters hated her was her mother, after all. Mr. Sakkara, the husband of Hayley Ziktor, a year ago, had had an affair with her mother. And now he was living in their home, and their plans in marriage were delayed since he had businesses to attend to. Instead of her mother working a real job, she was a stripper. It paid money, yeah, but it wasn't the same as anyone else's parents. The only family she could ever trust was her grandmother, who had given her the talent of singing instead of her mother. Her grandmother always remembered her birthday and gave her the guitar that she uses to play her music. Kira stood in front of her locker, dialing her combination number and as the locker door opened, a blast of water squirted out onto her face. Some kids laughed at her, while some snickered.
"LOSER!" a blond chick called from behind her.
"Hey, Ford, nice raccoon face!" Rita snickered, making Yukie laugh and Reina smile as they passed her to get to class. The bell had just rung and Kira wiped her face with the sleeve of her jumper, grabbing her text books and rushed to music.
As she entered her favorite class, she was found with her peers looking at her. She started to tear as they called hideous names at her. The yellow dino thunder ranger rushed to the bathroom to clean herself. "Why does this happen to me?" she whined as she got tissues and wiped her face. She deserved it. That's what the dirty blonde always thought. It wasn't just her fault; it was her mother's also. She decided to stay there for the whole period until 2nd hour, History.
Kira walked in, not noticing Rita's leg was spread over where she was about to walk into before she could see it, she had already tripped. Rita smirked and Yukie giggled. Reina was trying to hide her identical smirk Rita had on her face, by covering her face into a book. Christina and Alison walked in to see the event that had just happened. "Hey, what's going on here?" Christina asked as Alison helped Kira up.
"Kira walked into my leg." Rita said, nonchalantly.
"It looked more like you were tripping her." Alison flashed a frown at the sisters.
Rita shrugged and walked to the back of the class with her sisters in tow of her. Kira sat at the front corner while the best friends sat near the sisters. Alison turned to face Hayley's daughters. "What's the problem with you guys and Kira?" Alison asked.
Rita leaned closer to the dark haired girl. "If you were here last year, you would know. Like mother, like daughter, right?" Rita sneered and got her History text books out.
Christina looked at Yukie and Reina for some explanations but Reina just shrugged and Yukie shook her head, indicating to not push any further or ask any questions.
History went with a blur as Kira only copied notes down. The whole hour was spent writing more lyrics to her songs about her dad.
Since birth
I haven't been normal
There was always a time
When I felt like a freak
And during childhood
I knew that I was one that was odd
Just one parent rather than two
My mom, she doesn't appreciate me
And grams is the only one that cares
In my heart
I know that you're thinking about me
Like I'm always thinking of you
But I want more than runaway fathers, right now
I wanna be like other girls
I want a daddy that protects me
From everything and everyone
Like boys, and their easy way of
Trying to break your heart
And rich girls that like to torment me
All that stuff
Enough is enough
Kira sighed as the bell rang. She grabbed her things and hurriedly went to recess. She picked a spot near a tree and sat underneath it. She pulled out her lyrics book and thought of the rhythm of the song she was writing now. Somehow, by the day's events she couldn't tap any beat into her music. She loved composing but it felt like it was useless to her right at that moment. If only recess was longer, she could think of more things to write about. She sighed and went to Geography.
The other teens were already inside. Kira sighed as she found the Ziktor sisters inside joking around with her new friends, Christina and Alison. She opened the door, walking in; she didn't notice that a pink spray can was set in place for the prank that Rita thought to be hilarious. Her hair was suddenly sprayed in pink. She groaned. She hated the color. Yukie smirked, walking up to Kira. "Hey, Ford, sorry about the color. You see, I just couldn't find the color poo in the store." Yukie grimaced and the other kids laughed while Alison and Christina stayed back, shrugging it off. Kira felt betrayal. But then again, they were closer to the sisters than they were closer to her. Kira touched her hair with her hand and an imprint of wet pink spray was shown in it. She sighed for what seemed like the hundred time that day and went with sitting in the corner again.
When the teacher, Professor Park walked in, he looked at the pink haired girl for a while then shrugged. From behind, Alison and Christina were gushing as they knew the teacher. "Okay, guys, I'm Professor Park. And this is third period, geography. I believe you have questions that need answered." He smiled. Christina's hand shot up. Adam smirked. "Christina?" The class looked at the brunette. They hadn't known that the new geography teacher knew one of the new girls.
"Does Tommy know you're here?" Christina asked, smiling.
"No." Adam replies, shaking your head. "Any questions about the subject?" Christina shook her head. But Alison raised her hand. "Alison?"
"Can we have a geography trip to Angel Grove?" she asked, in high hopes. Christina and Alison giggled, having fun with their new class.
"We'll see. Now everyone turn to page 2 in your textbooks." Adam said as he faced the board and started writing things down for them to note take.
After Geography, Kira was weighing who her favorite teacher was this year. Dr. Oliver was awesome and explained the subjects they were learning thoroughly. She basically would pass Science this year. But then Professor Park joked around at class while being serious about the subject the same time. He really lightened her mood.
Kira walked with Alison and Christina. They told her about how they knew Professor Park. He and Dr. Oliver were close friends in high school. Little did she know that both of them used to be power rangers.
Math was next and Kira was saddened about Alison and Christina having to have English instead of Math at that hour. She walked in to see the three sisters blocking her path. Reina at the front. "What do you want?" she asked, rudely, wanting to not get pranked again.
"Me and my sisters have been really mean to you, Kira." Reina said a blank look on her face. "And we want to have a truce. Since we're going to all be in the same team," she started, and then whispered, "saving the world." She then held out her pink and black gloved hand. "We can't be found fighting each other when we need to be fighting Mesogog instead." She smiled. "How about it?"
Kira smiled, nodding. "Yeah, sure." She shook Reina's hand only to be electrocuted by a joy buzzer. She tried to get out of Reina's grasps but she couldn't. After a while, Reina let go of her hand and she babied her hand, looking if it had some marks from the joy buzzer. Yukie and Rita collapsed with laughter for a while and Reina chuckled at the blonde's dumbness.
"You think we would actually befriend you?" Rita asked, still laughing. "Bitch, you stole our father. We will never ever forgive you or your whore of a mother for that." The girls turned away from Kira and went to take their seats.
Kira let out a few tears as she blamed her mother once again about all she had done to her. She came to this high school to not be like the other kids in private school. She wanted to be welcomed not of her brains but her talent. Well, she was wrong. They looked at her and they saw a freak. She knew it. The only friends she had were her guitar and lyrics books and maybe Christina and Alison. Nothing went her way. She didn't even know if she could cope being the same team as the Ziktor sisters and saving the world, itself was a challenge.
It wasn't until P.E that got her to really feel embarrassed about the pranks. This time, Rita, she knew, put itchy powder in her underwear when they changed for P.E. She started feeling itchy and after going to the bathroom, she saw white and yellow powder in her underwear. She let out a frustrated groan as she went to her locker to get something to take out the itchiness. She ducked as she opened her locker, just to be cautious.
Everyone looked at her when she did this and they laughed and someone called her names. "FREAK!"
"Go back to the circus!"
"Where you belong!" With unshed tears, she took out her science book and ignored them. One day, she sighed, she'd show them all.
Her favorite class came after lunch and Doctor Oliver was writing things on the board to note take. She saw Alison and Christina walk up to him. "Hey, Tommy!" Alison exclaimed.
"Guess who's here?" Christina asked, jumpy.
"Who?" Tommy asked, looking at the best friends while writing notes on the board.
"ADAM!" The best friends said in unison.
Tommy smiled. "Really?"
"Yeah, he's one of our teachers." Alison nodded.
"What subject does he teach?" Tommy asked.
"Geography." Christina answered and Tommy laughed hysterically. "Really? That goofball has a teacher's degree in geography."
"Very funny, Thomas. I didn't know you had a PhD in paleontology either." Adam smirked, walking in Dr. Oliver's science class, holding a book in his hand. The teachers hand clasp.
"Man, it's good to see you. I didn't know you were teaching here." Tommy grinned at his friend.
"Well, I heard you were laying low in Reefside and thought it be fun." Adam shrugged.
"How's Tanya, Adam?" Alison asked, leaning in Tommy's desk.
"She's fine." He smiled, sadly.
"What's wrong?" Christina asked, noting he wasn't too happy talking about Tanya.
"Well, she, um, doesn't wanna see me anymore. She said her music career is…" Adam couldn't finish.
Christina squeezed his hand for comfort and reassurance. "Don't worry, Adam. She'll come around." Adam nodded.
"Well, a student of yours left book in my class so I thought I'd drop it off." Adam smiled as he made his way to Kira and gave her lyrics book back. Kira smiled.
"Thanks, Professor Park." She thanked and he nodded. After Dr. Oliver and Professor Park said that they should meet up after class, Dr. Oliver quieted the class down and told them to take their seats. Kira went to sit down on her usual chair, again not noticing a prank that Rita had mischievously put. The whoopee cushion did its job and the whole room burst out laughing. Especially the sisters and Conner McKnight. Although, Alison, Ethan, Christina and Dr. Oliver were the only sensible ones that didn't think the sick job was hilarious. It hurts feelings and now, it was hurting Kira. Kira ran to the bathroom which she stayed there and decided that school wasn't the place for her right now and headed home.
A/N: Okay, thanks to those who reviewed last time and favorite me and the story. And thanks to those who voted in my poll. It seems like Hunter is winning and Conner hasn't had any vote yet. Big shout out to D.J. Scales for helping me with the pranks … it was fun writing them. Hope you enjoyed this chapter.
Until next time, Sabrina out!
