Another quick update!

Anyway, here's chappie seven. Honestly didn't think this story would gain so much interest.

(Adam and Tanya's)

Kim stared at Dawn's retreating back, then, regained her composure, turned and exited through the back door. When she stepped outside, she spotted Jason talking to Tommy, Zack and Rocky several feet away. She squared her shoulders and made a beeline for him. She grinned at the three men when she reached them and touched Jason's broad shoulder.

"Sorry to interrupt, guys, but I need to talk to Jason," she said. They nodded and Jason allowed himself to be led away. When the former pink and red rangers were standing under a tree and outta everyone's earshot, Jason looked at Kim expectantly.

"Everything all right, Firebird?" he asked.

"Not even a little bit, Rex. Listen, it's about Dawn. She's... well, she's a... huge wack job. I'm not the only one who thinks so. Seriously, she just might be Rita Repulsa's secret adoptive daughter or something," Kim said, folding her arms across her chest and looking up at Jason.

Jason just stared back at her, unsure of how to respond.

"Jase, you're a grown man and I'm not trying to run your life, but, she's so not the one for you. Dawn belongs in a heavily padded room somewhere. You really need to rethink marrying her. I'm only saying this because I love you and care-" Kim was saying.

"Whoa, whoa. Marry? Kim, what are you talk- wait a second. Dawn! Could you come over here, please?" Jason called, after his girlfriend had stepped outta the house.

Dawn joined him and Kim seconds later, a sweet smile on her face. Kim rolled her eyes. 'Forget it, Sister of Chuckie. You're not fooling me with any of your fake crap. I'm about to blow you right outta the frigging water,' she told her silently.

"What's up?" Dawn asked lightly, looking at Jason.

"Why did you tell Kim we're getting married?" he asked, frowning. Seriously, what the hell?

Dawn's eyes widened and she laughed. "Oh, no! No. She must've misunderstood what I said in there. I'm so embarrassed you took it in that manner, Kim," she said with a sheepish smile.

"How do you misunderstand: 'He said he'd get the ring as soon as possible?'" Kim asked, cocking a brow.

Jason's jaw dropped and he looked at Dawn in utter disbelief. Say WHAT?

Dawn gave Kim a confused look. "Huh? When did I say that?" she asked in a puzzled tone.

"Come off it, Dawn. Game over. You know what just happened in that kitchen. Just like you know you've been acting like the spawn of Satan with most of Jason's friends," Kim said, glaring murderously at the blonde. She'd had it with this psychotic bitch. She wasn't that far from ripping out her windpipe.

"That's not true! Kim, what are you trying to do? I thought I was just being ridiculous at first, but, was I really? Are you interested in Jason? Because I don't see any other reason why you'd be trying to turn him against me," Dawn said, fury in her eyes.

"Knock it the hell off already. You may be insane, Dawn, but, you're not stupid. You know what you're doing. I have witnesses. I can get Kat- whom you just went nutty on for no reason in the kitchen. Of course, Zack, Tri, Rocky and Vanessa have already had a sneak peek of your wackiness. Why don't you just kill the phony bull?" Kim said angrily.

Dawn looked at Jason. "Can you believe this? Jase, maybe you should choose your friends a little more carefully," she said, shaking her head.

Kim was ready to crack Dawn's skull open and free the scorpions living inside. The petite gymnast looked at a bewildered Jason. "Jason, why would I be making this up? You know how much we all were looking forward to meeting her. But she's off. Think about that day at the airport, then, in Adam and Tanya's kitchen- when we hugged. She's gone off on Vanessa and Kat about how she's not gonna lose you to anybody. Jason, run, don't walk, away from this loon," she said seriously, looking into his dark eyes.

Dawn rolled her eyes. "Let it go, Kim. Geez, you're transparent. But nobody believes you, so, get lost. You're so freaking pathetic, it's not even funny. I-" she was saying.

"Shut up, Dawn," Jason snapped.

"What?" Dawn said incredulously.

Jason glared at her- annoyance, frustration and anger surging through him. "You're not deaf. I told you to back off Kim," he said.

"Stop siding against me! What is the matter with you?" Dawn said, her eyes wide with horror. She turned to Kim, then. "Oh, I just hate you! I knew I would. I knew it."

Jason looked at Kim. "Dawn and I are gonna head back to my mom's now. I'm just not in a festive mood anymore. Say my goodbyes and apologies for me, will ya? Let's go, Dawn," he said.

"Jason, we-" she began.

He grabbed her hand and practically dragged her off.

(The Scott Household)

Dawn followed Jason into his mother's house, glaring at the back of his head. He'd said nothing to her during the ride here in his mom's car- Ms. Scott was out with friends right now. Anyway, the silence had infuriated Dawn and increased her rage and paranoia. Jason headed upstairs and she followed.

"Say something, damn you," she snapped as she followed him to his room.

Jason turned to her when they entered his room. "Start packing," he said harshly.

She blinked. "What?"

"Start packing because we're done. I want you outta this house and my life," he said seriously. Kim's words and Dawn's personality change since they'd been living together... he'd been thinking heavily about it all on the way back here to his mom's.

Dawn shook her head. "You believe her. You believe her. Surprise, surprise," she said bitterly. Then, something exploded in her. "I'm supposed to be the woman you love, dammit!" she shrieked hysterically. "I hate her! I HATE YOU!"

"Whatever. Can you hate us while you pack?" he asked calmly. He'd had it. He couldn't believe she'd told Kim they were getting married. Well, actually, he could in a way.

Dawn growled viciously and was about to slap him til he grabbed her wrist. He looked into her eyes. "You're wasting your energy on the wrong thing," he said in a low voice. "You should start packing."

She yanked away. "This is what you wanted all along! A reason to dump me and be with your precious Pinky! YOU FINALLY GOT WHAT YOU'VE ALWAYS WANTED! Are you happy now, you bastard! ARE YOU! HUH?" she screamed maniacally.

Jason didn't even flinch. "What I wanted was a woman who trusted me. And a woman who didn't make my friends question her and my sanity. I didn't get that, though," he said.

"I love you in a way nobody else ever will!" she snapped, her eyes wild.

"I hope so. Because I couldn't take this kind of "love" from anybody else. Get started on your packing and I'll see if there are any available flights to Chicago tonight," he said.

She glared hatefully at him. "Don't do this. Because once I'm gone, you won't get another chance," she said venomously.

"You better tell me I can get that in writing," he said as he put her suitcase on his bed.

"I'm serious, Jason. I mean it. Don't be an idiot," she warned.

"An idiot would continue this craziness," he said.

"There's just no way Kim could ever make you as happy as I've made you and I know you were happy with me. You know we had great times," she said.

"We did. Then, you started changing up on me. Dawn, you're not the type of woman I wanna spend my life with. I'd have to be a nut myself," he said.

"Fine!" she shrieked. "I'll go back to Chicago- hopefully, tonight. But I'm not moving outta the apartment," she said, giving him a fierce look.

"I am," he said.

She frowned and took a step back. "What?"

"I'm moving back to Angel Grove. Feel free to stay in that apartment for the rest of your lives," he said, using and emphasizing the word "lives" for obvious reasons. He was pretty sure Steve wouldn't mind running the dojo on his own. If not, Jason knew Steve would have no trouble finding another partner. Either way, Jason was coming back home. And Dawn was going on her way. At this moment, he honestly din't care where she went or what she did. Long as she stayed away from him.

"Moving back to- and you weren't gonna even tell me! I bet Kimmie knows, though, right? You've probably been planning this for months," Dawn said, her voice dripping with hate and disgust.

Jason shook his head. She really was a wacko. If only he'd let himself see this months ago...

"Yeah. I'll pack. Because if I stay in this town any longer, somebody might become a murder victim. I hate you, Jason. I hate you and I'll never forgive you for this. But you're gonna pay. You're gonna pay," she said, then, began the job of packing. "Why don't you just get outta my sight and go back to your little-"

"Careful," he said in a quiet, but, lethal tone. Her jealousy of Kim was just unbelievable. Wow. He couldn't even remember right now what had even attracted him to Dawn in the first place. How the hell had everything gotten so outta control?

Dawn scoffed and shook her head as she tossed her things in her suitcase. "You've probably been screwing around with her behind my back since we got here," she said bitterly.

"Dawn... you and I have barely been apart since we got here," he said slowly. Even if he'd wanted to fool around on her, when the hell would he have had the time?

"Oh, shut up! I'm fine. And right. There is nothing wrong with me! Nothing! You're the crazy one- for believing Kim. You're both sick," she said angrily.

"I'll get the phone from my mom's room and check for flights," he said, turning and heading out. If not tonight, she was going tomorrow morning. Hell, he'd give her a piggyback ride there, if necessary. Didn't matter. She just had to go and that was all there was to it.

Keep in mind that the end of Jason and Dawn doesn't necessarily mean the end of Dawn now. We ARE dealing with a crazy fool here. ;-) Hope you liked it. If so, stay tuned for the next chapter.
