I'm one chick who's having a boring Saturday, LOL. Hope everyone else's is going okay.

Anyway, here's chapter six. ;-)

More kitchen encounters! Those rangers love the kitchen, don't they? ;-)

I know I said any kind of beatdown, LOL, would happen after the breakup. But, maybe not. I'll see!

(Not a very long chap).

(Days later- Fourth of July)

(Adam and Tanya's)

Kat stepped into the Parks' kitchen and saw Jason leaning against the counter, a thoughtful expression on his face and a bottle of beer in his hand. The crew- plus several others-was celebrating Fourth of July in Adam and Tanya's huge backyard. "Jason," Kat said.

Jason blinked a couple times and looked at the graceful blonde in slight confusion.

Kat laughed. "Dollar for your thoughts," she said.

He chuckled a little. "You really think that's all they're worth? I'm hurt, Katherine," he said jokingly- causing her to laugh again.

"Are you all right?" she asked. She, Billy, Aisha, Adam, Tanya and Tommy hadn't seen Dawn in action, but, they'd heard about everything that had taken place. They found it hard to believe she was, well, off her rocker. They were keeping their guards up, though.

"Yeah. I'm good. I was just thinking of- well, for the last couple days I've been thinking about... moving back to Angel Grove," he confessed.

Kat's eyes widened and she smiled. "That would be wonderful, Jason," she said.

He nodded. "Being here again... man. The longer I stay, the less I wanna leave, ya know?" he said.

"I understand completely," she said, nodding.

"Of course, I have to talk to Dawn about it. And my partner Steve. See how he feels about running the dojo solo," he said. He knew he missed his hometown. But, he had no idea how much til he actually got here. Chicago was fantastic, but, it wasn't home.

"Have you told your mother?" Kat asked.

"Nah, not yet. Only you, so far," he said.

Kat grinned. "Well, I hope things go all right with Steve and Dawn because it would be great to have you back again," she said sincerely.

Jason smiled at his friend and she hugged him. "It'd be great to be back again," he said truthfully. She nodded and kissed his cheek lightly just as Dawn walked in.

Dawn gripped the doorknob on the backdoor tightly and silently counted to five as Kat and Jason disengaged. That famous jealousy and boiling rage began surging through her. "Hey," she said lightly.

Jason looked over and smiled at her. "Hey, babe. What's up?" he asked.

'Good question, Jason. Why don't you tell me what's up, though? Just how damned close were you to your female friends?' Dawn shrieked silently. But she smiled at him. "I came in to use the bathroom and tell you that Tommy and Zack wants to see you ," she said casually.

"Oh. All right," he said, turning and heading out.

Dawn closed the door and walked up to Kat- who was getting more cups. Kat turned to head off, but, Dawn blocked her path. Kat looked at her expectantly.

"Now, what do you think Billy would say if he'd just seen you getting all cozy with one of his best friends?" Dawn asked, glaring at the other blonde.

Kat frowned. Cozy? Was she for real? "It was a hug. Billy wouldn't have read anything into it because he knows he can trust Jason and me," she said.

Dawn's eyes blazed. "Yeah? Well, I don't give a damn how he or anybody else would've reacted, I don't go for it. Jason's mine," she said angrily.

"What is the matter with you? I hugged him and you're acting like you found us in the backseat of your car," Kat said, already annoyed.

"And that's where it heads next!" Dawn snapped. "I've said it once, I'll say it again. I won't put up with any man-stealing tramps, all right? NOT again. Never again. Don't ever try to come between Jason and me. You don't wanna go up against me because you'll lose for sure. I'm serious."

Kat was just blown away. So, her friends had been right. She had wanted to believe they were exaggerating or misinterpreting, but, they'd been right on the money. Dawn was nuts. No doubt about it.

"I'm totally serious. Don't think I'm not because that's a mistake you'll regret making for the rest of your life. I mean it!" Dawn yelled just as Kim came in from outside. "I won't lose Jason to anybody, so,stay away from him or-"

"Oh, geez! Back off, you freak," Kim snapped, unable to help it. Dawn had been almost sickly sweet to everyone but her. She bitched out Kim and gave her evil glares whenever Jason hadn't been around. But, Kim had been giving as good as she'd been getting. Definitely. Anyway, she'd had more than her fill of SchizoBlonde. No one had mentioned anything to Jason because they wanted to enjoy his visit, but, enough was enough.

Dawn whirled around to face Kim and hate filled her eyes. "Stay the hell outta this," she snapped.

"Screw you. Kat, I came in to see what the deal was with the cups. Liza just used the last one and we've got a few thirsty people out there," Kim told her friend. Liza was a neighbor of Adam and Tanya's.

Kat nodded. "Okay. I better get out there," she said, giving Dawn a disgusted look as she headed for the door. "Are you gonna be okay, Kim?" she asked.

"I'll be fine," Kim said with a smile.

Kat smiled. "I see what you all meant, by the way," she said. 'Wow', she mouthed, then, headed out.

Kim locked eyes with Dawn. "You've been a total bitch practically since you stepped into town. If you love Jason as much as you claim, you'd try not to make a bad impression on his friends," she said.

Dawn stalked up to the woman she'd made her nemesis. "Oh, shut up. You don't know a damn thing about what I feel for Jason," she said harshly.

"I'm starting to. You don't know what love is, Dawn. You're a sicko," Kim said.

"You know nothing about me and you don't know Jason better than anyone, either. I get the feeling you think you do. Guess what? I live with him. You may have grown up with him, but, I know things about Jason you or anyone else in your extended little Scooby gang don't. And that's the way it's supposed to be since I'm his future wife," Dawn said irately.

Kim froze. No way. No way had she just said... Jason could not be marrying this freak of nature. No way. She shook her head slowly. "You're lying," she said.

Dawn smiled bitterly. "He asked me last night. We're gonna announce it here at the party," she said proudly.

Kim began feeling strange sensations. No. Dawn had to be lying. Jason wasn't gonna spend his life with this witch. "No way," she whispered, speaking more to herself than Dawn.

"Yes way. Jason proposed. He said he'd get the ring as soon as possible," Dawn said in a gleeful tone that caused chills toslide up Kim's spine.

"He... could do so much better. And I'm gonna let him know that before he makes the hugest mistake of his life. I'm not gonna let him be stuck with a loon like you," Kim said seriously.

"You go on and do what you want. It won't change anything. He loves me and you're just gonna have to get over it," Dawn said, then, headed outta the kitchen and for the bathroom.

You'll find out if Dawn's telling the truth about the proposal in the next chappie!
