Again, thank you to my awesome reviewers!
TMayo: Thank you so much! I thought that Tommy would be slightly protective of them because of his experiences as a ranger and just normal older brother stuff.
Now on with the show!
Beauty and the beach:
Lilliana Oliver was waiting at the foot of the stairs for her sister.
"Come on, Alex! I want to get to the beach with a little time! We've been living on mainland for 2 years; I want to get to the water!"
"Don't get your knickers in a twist, Ana, I'm coming!" Alexandria Oliver called from the top of the stairs while putting make-up on.
"You don't need to look like a beauty queen to go to the beach, Alex! The water will wash off your make-up within 10 minutes!"
Alex appeared downstairs in an orange bikini and shorts. Ana was wearing the same style, but in purple. Rangers always had the tendency to wear their colors in normal, everyday wear.
"Come on, Ana, let's go!" She said playfully.
"Wait, we better tell Tommy we're leaving," Ana realized.
Alex groaned. "You wanted to leave so badly and now you want to delay us even more?"
"He'll be mad at us if we don't tell him," she replied, then knocked on her brother's office door.
"Come in!" Tommy called from his desk. Ana opened the door.
"Hey, is it alright if Alex and I head to the beach?"
"It's fine," he said, preoccupied, "Just call if you're going to be home late or are going anywhere else or something like that,"
Ana saw though his tone like it was plastic wrap. "What are you doing, Tommy?"
He looked back, safety goggles on. "I'm just trying to figure out this morpher. I can't seem to get the wiring right,"
Ana frowned. "Tommy, you and electronics don't mix. Why don't you ask Hayley for help instead?"
"That's a great idea, Ana, thank you. Have fun, both of you!"
"Bye, Tommy," Ana called.
"See you, Dr. Crayola!" Alex called.
"Alex, stop calling me that!"
But his words were in vain, because the twins were already out the door.

Alex and Ana were at the beach when they spotted who they recognized as Tori, the blue power ranger, surfing.
"Wow, I see why she's the water ranger, she's really good!" Alex mentioned while putting out her towel.
"She is," Ana agreed.
They laid down on their towels and ate the sandwiches they had brought along. When they were done, they noticed a guy to their right asking for Tori's phone number talking to who they recognized as Shane, the red ranger. Shane told him that Tori wouldn't like it. Alex looked over at her twin.
"Big mistake, red ranger," she said.
"Real big mistake," Ana agreed.
Shane walked over to Tori, who asked what happened. Shane told her, and they got into a minor argument that ended with Tori walking away.
"Hey, I just remembered, Alex, I need a new cuff for my body board. My old one is ripped," She held it up as proof. "The tyrano zord got to it last week. You think we could head back to that sport shop, Storm Chargers?"
"Sure," Alex said after a moment. "I guess we can't hit the beach then, since we need that anyway,"
"Thanks, Alex. Let's pack up,"
They packed up and left the beach for the sports store after Ana called Tommy to explain the situation.

The girls walked into Storm Chargers and heard Tori.
"You don't get it either. I'm a girl. Girl,"
"I know, but you're not, like, a girl-girl," said Dustin.
"You're more like a guy-girl," Shane unwisely agreed
"My advice to you both," said one of the workers, walking up. "Stop trying to make it better, cause it's only getting worse,"
"I second that," Alex said, speaking up from where they were looking at cuffs. Everyone turned and stared at her. "Sorry," she said, looking sheepish.
The conversation then turned to Tori being asked to do a photoshoot for Girl Sport Magazine with more ignorance from the boys. Ana walked up, paid for her cuff, and left.
"I hope those boys will shut up," Alex muttered.
Ana nodded, "Yeah, or else they're in big trouble,"

Hello, can anybody hear me! Cried the voice of Tori.
A flash of pain rode through Ana's head, as she tripped and fell to her knees, her fingers going to her head.
"Ana?" Alex asked when she noticed her sister wasn't beside her. Then she looked behind her. "Ana!" she cried crouching over to her sisters side. "Are you alright?"
Ana sat up and massaged her temples. "Yeah, I think so. But I think Tori's in trouble,"
"What do you mean?" Alex asked, helping her sister to stand.
"She's panicked, she's overriding the block," Ana explained.
Alex turned as white as a sheet. For someone to do that, they had to be either completely confused and terrified, or Ana's soul mate. And Alex was willing to bet it wasn't the second option.
"Come on, do you think you could track her?" Alex asked.
"Yeah," Ana winced, "She isn't calm at all. Her thoughts are, like, 100 decibels,"
"Let's go,"

"This is it?" Alex asked in morph. "A wacked up trailer?"
"Yeah, this is it," Ana admitted, concentrating, "but I think she's in front of it,"
Alex looked at her twin in disbelief. "In front of it? Ana, are you sure?"
"Yeah, right where that camera is. I think she calmed down a little, so it's softer, but I swear to you she's right there,"
Alex was on the verge of calling her sister crazy when she noticed a blue spurt of water coming from the top of the camera and enlarging into Tori.
"Are you alright? Were you trapped in the camera?" Alex asked.
"Yeah, thanks, but we don't have any time. Marah and Kapri made a copy of me, and she's trying to get to Ninja Ops," Tori explained. The two morphed rangers nodded, and all three ninjas streaked over to where the boys were.
Tori's copy walked out of the car and Tori started fighting it.
"Dude, we've gotta help!" Shane said.
"Which her?" Dustin wondered
"That her," Ana said, pointing at the Tori on the left. "I'm tracking her thoughts,"
"Ok, let's go," Dustin said, but before he could, Copybot got in the way.
Dustin and Shane morphed, but before they could, the copybot cloned Ana.
"Oh, now you've crossed the line," Ana said, quickly going into battle with the other Purple ranger.
Tori was doing pretty badly in her battle with her copy, but then realized her copy was able to be destroyed by water and quickly beat her.
Seeing Tori gave Ana an idea.
"Wait," she said, "Mental blocks can't be reproduced," she said.
"I know," said her copy, "That's why I'm better than you,"
"No," Ana smirked, "That's why I'm better than you," Then she placed her hand on the copies, inducing a premonition. The copy blew up, destroyed by the horrible pain inside her skull.
Both Tori and Ana raced over the Copybot to help their friends. Everyone was quickly on the defensive.
"Guys, it's me," They both chorused.
"Wait, but how do we know you're the real Tori and Purple ranger?" asked Dustin.
"Your real name is Waldo, and Shane, you're afraid of spiders,"
Both twins stifled a laugh as Dustin said, "Dude, you're afraid of spiders?"
"You want to make something of it, Waldo?" Shane fired back.
Ana whispered something to Alex. Alex pulled back quickly. "Ok, she is the real Purple Ranger!" she said quickly.
Tori morphed and the rangers went into battle. They destroyed the Copybot with their blaster then, when it grew, they used their two megazords and turned on lightning mode to finish him off.
When the zords went back to their respective hangers, the five rangers were left on the ground. Tori, Dustin, and Shane demorphed.
"Thank you," said Tori, "You were a big help,"
"No problem," said Alex.
"You don't chose the power, the power chooses you," Ana finished.
"I don't suppose there's any chance you're going to tell us who you are?" Shane asked
"Nope!" the twins chorused.
"You wouldn't know us, even if we told you, but don't worry, you will find out soon," Ana said.
"See you later, rangers!" Alex said.
And with that, they both ninja streaked home.

"Hey, Alex, you mind going with me to Storm Chargers to get a cover? The tyrano zord got into mine," Ana said.
"Sure, let's go," Alex said, heading for the door. "Bye Dr. Crayola! We're going to the sports store!"
"Be careful, both of you! And stop calling me Dr. Crayola, Alex!"
Alex rolled her eyes and walked out the door, her sister right behind her.

When they got to Storm Chargers, they saw Tori and the guy from the beach talking. Tori looked back to Shane, Dustin, and the owner of Storm Chargers, who all smiled at her.
"Aww, that's sweet," Alex said.
"Yeah, I hope they don't make the mistake of doing that to a girl ever again.
