A/N: Sorry for the long wait, things had come up. Also, due to lots of other stories being deleted due to having a first chapter being a form, I went back and deleted that chapter. So this chapter would have originally have been the eighteenth chapter, but now is number seventeen.

Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers or Grandma Got Ran Over by a Reindeer.

"Grandma got ran over by a reindeer

Walking home from our house Christmas Eve.

You can say there's no such thing as Santa,

But as for me and Grandpa, we believe…"

Charley sang as she swung her feet back-and-forth. Seated next to her on the center table in Ops was Nathalie, who accompanied the Yellow Ranger on guitar. Kennedi hummed to herself softly as she carefully balanced herself on a latter, stringing the last little bit of Christmas lights.

The other three male Rangers laughed and sang along as they finished up their last little bits of decorating. Kennedi kept a close eye on them to make sure they were doing everything correctly. Off to the side, Marissa and Phoebe quietly watched the original six Rangers.

"I think they need a new song," Marissa whispered to Phoebe. Phoebe covered her mouth, as she nodded, trying to hold back her chuckles. "This one seems a little…morbid." Marissa looked around the base. In one day, the Rangers were quickly able to gather some decorations just in time for Christmas tomorrow. With just a little reluctance from Phoebe at first, the Rangers were finally able to convince the Titan to let them celebrate Christmas in the base to show Marissa how they do holidays on Earth.

"Can you remind me again about Christmas?" Marissa asked.

"It's an Earth religious and cultural holiday celebrated around the world, where people celebrate the birth of Jesus. Some customs include the practice of gift-giving," Phoebe said, and Marissa silently nodded.

"Gift-giving… like the birthday thing?"

"Yes, often friends and family buy gifts or presents for one another," Phoebe said, as she leaned back against the wall. She smiled as she watched the Rangers. "My last group of Rangers lived back long before Christmas even existed. It's kind of entertaining to watch them." Marissa nodded.

"You know… if they give gifts for birthdays here, my father sure has a lot to catch up on," Marissa laughed. She inwardly groaned, when she saw Kennedi stumble off of the latter. "Maybe it's a good thing I'm not helping," Marissa paused, her eyes following the Rangers. "Have you heard any news from the Gods and Goddess yet?"

"Not yet," Phoebe said, as her head turned towards to monitoring system. "It could be anywhere from days to weeks before the council comes to a conclusion."

"Do you think the crystal will be able to be re-lit?" Phoebe shrugged.

"All we can do is hope for the best," Phoebe sighed. The loud alarm system blared through the base, causing all of the Rangers to inwardly groan. Nathalie got up, and placed her guitar on her seat.

"Does Hades ever take a holiday," Jet groaned, as he looked up on the viewing screen. Nathalie reached forward, and zoomed in using her fingers. In the Square, a sorceress, dressed in a long grey silk dress, stormed through the smaller part of town. The Rangers watched as she swung her wand around at an innocent female. When the woman hit, she dropped her shopping bags and was transformed in a pig. The pig made a few squeals, before circling around the bags. Jet snickered in the background. Nathalie turned around and gave him a death glare.

"Oh, come on," Jet laughed, trying to hold it in. "You have to admit, that was kind of funny," Nathalie glared at him again and raised her right eye brow. "Ok, not funny."

"Let's get down there and try to stop her before she turns anyone else into an animal," Nathalie said, as she backed away from the console. The other Rangers followed suit.

"I want to come," Marissa said suddenly. Nathalie shook her head no. "Look, I can just transform into an animal and fight that way."

"I don't want you getting hurt. Stay… that's an order," Nathalie said again, more sternly. Nathalie turned to the other Rangers and they all pulled out their morphers.

"Olympian Force, Protectors of Earth," When they finished morphing, they all saw in front of them Marissa in the form of a lion. Marissa growled loudly, while looking Nathalie dead in the eyes, or helmet. Nathalie shook her head again, and was about to protest when Lew placed a hand on her shoulder.

"Nat–" Lew said. Nathalie mumbled something in French, mostly likely a swear word before turning to Lew. "Just let her come, we need to get to the fight now, before we lose any more people." Nathalie sighed and nodded. Lew then teleported everyone out of the base.

"Hey you!" Jet shouted out to Circe. "No one likes a party crasher."

"Sorry to ruin your holidays, but I'm not here to celebrate Christmas," Circe laughed, as she waved her wand, transforming a handful of people into various animals. Nathalie groaned, and quickly drew her bow. She pulled the string back and hit Circe with her first arrow. Circe smirked as she pulled the arrow out. She waved her hand around and a large group of Dwellers appeared.

Charley groaned, as she and Kennedi were suddenly surrounded by a group of Dwellers. Kennedi summoned a large group of vines to wrap around three Dwellers. The vines squeezed themselves tighter around the Dwellers, until the Dweller couldn't take in anymore, and they fell to the ground as a pile of dust.

Charley, who was on Kennedi's back side, had her blaster drawn. Firing once, Charley nailed one Dweller right in the gut, sending it falling backwards into another Dweller.

Nathalie jumped up, as a Dweller tried to sweep kick her. As the Dweller pulled its leg back, Nathalie landed on it with a snap, and the Dweller, along with its detached leg, turned to dust. She spun on her heels, as she heard Lew panting behind her.

Lew swung his hammer hard, and knocked out three Dwellers at once. Satisfied, he turned around and dangled his hammer over his left shoulder.

Marissa sprinted towards a group of two Dwellers. She jumped into the air, all four paws leaving the cement, as she lunged towards the Dwellers. She pounced on them, and they turned to dust under her paws. Marissa turned around, as she saw Jet fighting off a group of three Dwellers. She pounced towards them, and pushed two of the three off of Jet. Jet nodded in thanks, before spinning his sword around to knock out the last one.

Off to the side, Circe silently watched as the Dwellers did all the work for her. Her eye fell on the lion in front of her. She smirked seeing the Rangers' new friend. She grabbed her large wooden wand out of her side bag, and waved it towards the lioness. A large light came out and flew towards Marissa.

Kennedi, who was just to the left of Marissa, saw the spell come towards the lioness.

"Marissa!" Kennedi shouted. Marissa turned her head in time to see the attack fly towards her. Kennedi saw the lioness coward down, preparing to take the fight. Kennedi jumped in front of her to take the attack. Kennedi cried out in pain, and crouched down as the spell rippled through her body. She quickly lost her morph, and now stood a beaver instead of the normal brunette girl.

Circe smirked, and waved her hand around, making herself and the Dwellers disappear.

"Crap!" Jet yelled, as he kicked the patch of snow next to him.

"You know…" Charley said, while cocking her head to the side as she looked at the now beaver Kennedi. "She's kind of cute," Kennedi slapped her tail against the table in protest. The Rangers had set her down on the center table in the Command Center, and they were all spread across the room, in various positions. "Sorry."

"I told you to stay, and look what you did!" Nathalie yelled at Marissa as the two continued their screaming match. Jet leaned again the wall behind the two girls and was looking at his watch. He glanced up at the two before looking back down. He groaned and banged his head against the wall. "Why couldn't you just have followed orders? Now we're down two Rangers instead of just one."

"It wasn't my fault!" Marissa yelled. "Kennedi did it on her own account. She saved me."

"She wouldn't have had to save you in the first place if you would have just stayed behind like I told you too!"

"I just wanted to help–" Marissa was cut off by Nathalie.

"Oh you helped alright," Nathalie sneered. "Now my friend is stuck in the form of a beaver!"

"Maybe if you were a better leader, then she wouldn't be stuck in that form right now!" Marissa yelled. Marissa gasped and quickly covered her mouth after she heard the words come out. Nathalie's eyes flared and swung her right fist towards Marissa. She knocked the other girl right up side the nose. Marissa gasped, as her eyes started to water. Blood slowly leaked out of her left nostril.

Jet jumped up and grabbed Nathalie before the Red Ranger could do any more harm. Nathalie struggled against Jet's grip, but her sixteen year old strength was nothing compared to Jet's super-strength. Bryce had ran over and grabbed Marissa, just in case she tried to fight back.

"That's it!" Jet shouted. Phoebe walked over with her arms crossed.

"I want both of you out of this base, now!" Phoebe shouted, while pointing at Nathalie and Marissa. Nathalie yanked her arms free from Jet, and stormed over to her chair. She grabbed her black jacket, and was out of the base in a flash.

Nathalie walked alongside the wall of the school, throwing her lacrosse ball against it. The ball bounced off and she caught it with easy. She held the ball before squeezing it tightly. She threw it as hard as she could at the wall, and it bounced back out of her reach.

"I know you have a short fuse, but that seemed kind of out there, even for you," Jet said, as he caught the ball behind Nathalie. Nathalie sighed and spun around on her heels to face the Black Ranger. Jet bounced the ball on the cement.

"Can I have it back," Nathalie asked, extending her hand out.

"If you promise not to hurt me with it," Jet said. Nathalie nodded and he tossed it over to her. "I know I'm not the best with these types of things, but do you want to talk about what just happened in there." Nathalie shrugged, and tossed the ball against the wall.

"I just lost it in there," Nathalie said, looking down.

"No dip Sherlock," Jet laughed. "Sorry, not helping," Jet silently walked alongside Nathalie. "We all signed up for this when we decided to become Rangers, you know."

"What?"

"We knew things like what happened today with Kennedi would happen when we each told Phoebe we would become Rangers. I know you want to try and save everyone but – " Nathalie interrupted Jet

"Exactly, but it's my job as the leader to try and prevent things like what happened today."

"What happened today was nobody's fault. Kennedi did what she did to save a friend… a teammate." Nathalie nodded, hiccupping slightly. The two of them flinched when their morphers went off.

"Jet here," he said into his morpher.

"Hey is Nathalie with you?" Lew asked, his voice ringing out through the communicator.

"Yeah, I'm here," Nathalie said, raising Jet's wrist up closer to her face.

"Circe's back and I want to defeat her before tonight, so I can spend actually spend my Christmas relaxing," Lew said, slightly laughing. "I'm sending the coordinates to you guys now." Jet's watch beeped, and his disc flashed the coordinates twice before it disappeared and went back to its normal appearance.

"Let's go," Nathalie said, as she started to run off towards the direction of town. Jet caught up to her and grabbed her by the shoulders.

"Hey… are you good to go?" he asked concerned. She nodded once, before the two ran off and morphed at the same time.

"Hey!" Jet yelled, as he skidded to a stop. "Haven't you ever heard of a vacation?" Circe laughed, as she flipped her wand around in her hand.

Off to the side, Nathalie stopped next to Marissa, who was now in the form of a tiger. The tiger snorted, and flipped her head to the side. Nathalie bit her lip, and drew her fist into a defensive stance. Seven Dwellers suddenly appeared and surrounded the two, trapping them together.

Marissa lunged towards two of the Dwellers. She pounced on them, and they quickly turned to dust under her paws. Behind her Nathalie was fighting off a Dweller with just the end of one of her arrows. The arrow clanged against the steel edge of the Dweller's blade. The blade was stronger and broke Nathalie's arrow in half. Jumping backwards, Nathalie bumped into Marissa. Marissa roared loudly, and snapped at Nathalie.

As Nathalie looked at Marissa, two Dwellers crept up on her. Marissa's eye caught them, and she quickly jumped up into the air overtop of Nathalie. Nathalie flinched down, and covered her face believing that Marissa was going to pounce on her. When Nathalie never felt the weight of the tiger, she looked up to see Marissa on top of the Dwellers, just as they turned to dust.

"Thank you," Nathalie said, and Marissa silently nodded. Nathalie looked over to see her fellow Rangers had already defeated their Dwellers, and had their Power Weapons drawn. Nathalie nodded to Marissa in thanks before she joined the others, and combined all of their weapons.

"Let's finish this creep off," Nathalie said, as she pulled the trigger, and the blast knocked into Circe, blowing her up.

Kennedi gasped, as she quickly turned back into her normal form. She stood on the Olympian Ops center table on all fours.

"Hands," Kennedi sighed, as she felt around with her hands. Embarrassed, she got up and slid off the table. Off to the side, Phoebe was quietly chuckling. "Never speak of this to anyone." Kennedi threatened, as she scratched behind her ears. She stopped abruptly at realizing what she was doing.

Kennedi walked over to Phoebe's side. Up on the monitor her fellow Rangers' Zords flew around Circe, all except for Nathalie's, which was the only one that couldn't fly. Nathalie's Deer Zord rammed into Circe. The Daemon fell backwards into a building.

The Dove and Raven Zords swooped in and quickly fired a round of lasers at Circe. Circe cried as she tried to cover her face from the attack. The two Zords swooped around and joined up with the Vulture, Hawk, and Deer Zords. Together all five Zords charged towards Circe. The bird Zords all fired at Circe, while the Deer Zord rammed into her one last time, causing Circe to blow up.

Kennedi cheered, as she watched the Zords fly around for a victory lap. She stopped when she saw Nathalie jumped out of her own Zord. Nathalie demorphed and joined Marissa who was back in her human form. Kennedi smiled as she saw Nathalie hand the Alscepius Cube to Marissa. Marissa nodded and walked over to the shrunken Circe, and picked the Daemon up with her index finger and thumb.

"Joyeux Noël!" Nathalie shouted, as Jet entered Ops. It was about ten on Christmas morning and all of the Rangers, except for Marissa, were gathered in the Command Center. Marissa decided not to come, not wanting to intrude on the Rangers' holiday. Although, it was more likely that she didn't come because of the tension between herself and the Red Ranger.

"Merry Christmas!" Jet shouted, getting a mix response of Merry Christmas's back. Once Jet got seated next to Nathalie is his normal seat, Charley got up with a single rectangle shaped thin box. It was carefully wrapped in green and red Christmas wrapping paper, and has neat hand writing on it. She walked over to Phoebe, who had been previously been watching on the side.

"This is from all of us," Charley said. "As a thank you for everything you have done for us. Without you, none of us would have never have became friends." Phoebe smiled and protested that they didn't have to get her anything, but eventually accepted the gift. She carefully peeled the wrapping paper back, not wanting to rip it. Underneath was a picture frame. In it was a picture of the six original Rangers and Phoebe from after their first victory.

"Thank you," Phoebe said, as she looked up and smiled at the Rangers. A small tear escaped from one of her eyes. "This is more than I could ever ask for."

"We just didn't want you to ever forget about us in the future, after everything is over and when it's a thousand years from now," Kennedi said.

"Trust me," Phoebe promised. "I'll never forget about you guys." Just then the small beeping voice came from the communication video phone to Mount Olympus. Phoebe politely excused herself to grab that.

"So…" Jet said. "Who should go first?"

"I think the birthday girl should," Kennedi said while playfully elbowing Nathalie in the side. The Red Ranger blushed and bashfully looked down. She was just about to protest when Phoebe rejoined them, this time with a big smile on her face.

"What is it?" Bryce asked.

"I just got off the phone with Zeus," Phoebe said. "The Olympians were able to come to a conclusion quicker than I thought. They all agreed to shortly appeal the law just for this case to try to relight the white stone." All of the Rangers jumped up and cheered. Off to the side, Bryce had picked Charley up and was spinning her around and hugging her.

Jet reached over and hugged Nathalie tightly, also.

"Joyeux Anniversaire," Jet whispered quietly into Nathalie's ear. Nathalie's smile got even larger, if that was even possible. She hugged him back, and then released him to go hug the other Rangers.

Trivia: The animal Kennedi became was decided through a 'what animal are you test' that I took, pretending to be Kennedi as best as I possibly could.
