A/N: Again, another warning, the next chapter might take a lot of time to update. Unlike the last few, it's not written out yet and I still need to come up with an idea for it (feel free to help out btw) and I'm still waiting for Faith to update her story so it'll also depend on that.

Read and Review guys! I'll try to see if I can get the next chapter up in a reasonable time, but I make no promises.

"Mr. Hartford," Spencer called as he walked into Hartford's office. "You have a guest. A lady guest."

"Oh, is she going to be my new mommy?" Mack teased as he looked over his shoulder. He sat on the couch, with the other six Rangers, Doc and Karly and could hear everything going on in his dad's office.

Andrew frowned at his son before his guest walked in. He smiled as he greeted her with a hug.

"Jessica!"

"Andrew, hi!" the woman greeted.

"Wow, what a surprise!" Hartford said, looking at the woman before him.

"I know. We haven't seen each other since out old college days," Jessica smiled. "I've been reading so much about you and your Rangers."

Jessica looked over at the seven Rangers, who were all leaning on the back of the couch, watching the little exchange between their mentor and Jessica. Kaylee was even making kissy faces as Karly jumped on her head and napped, seeing as the couch was taken by the seven.

"Wow, you always were the adventurer, Drew," Jessica finished.

"Aww, cute little nickname!" Kaylee smiled.

Hartford ignored her, something he was used to by now.

"Well, what about you?" he asked. "You were going to be an intrepid field reported, facing down danger, making a difference in the world."

"Yeah, that dream got a little sidetracked," Jessica said. "Maybe someday."

"Of course," Hartford nodded.

"But I'm still a reporter. I took a job at a local show Good Morning, San Angeles," Jessica explained.

"Oh, good for you," Andrew smiled, genuinely happy for his old friend.

"And that's why I'm here; I want to interview your team. You know, get an in-depth look at Operation Overdrive."

"I don't know Jessie, we're pretty busy over here," Hartford sighed.

Hartford jumped slightly when the seven young adult protested.

"Dad, we're not too busy! We're bored right now!" Mack frowned.

"Yeah! Let's go on TV! Please!" Dax begged.

Meow!

"Oh, you just want the couch back," Kaylee laughed, looking up at her cat.

"Oh come on," Jessie smiled. "Look at those faces! It'd only take a couple of hours! For an old friend? Please?"

Andrew looked over at his team. He couldn't help but laugh when he saw all eight, the doctor included this time, of them giving him a puppy dog face. He finally gave in when he looked at the cat. Even she was giving him a puppy face.

"Well, those kids work so hard," he said. "It'd be nice for them to get off the couch. Maybe let Karly take a nap..."

"I don't know if I should cut you some slack from now on for not being a butt head, or go hey," Kaylee frowned. "Oh well... HEY!"

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

A few hours later, Jessica was leading the Rangers and David around the set of Good Morning San Angeles. One of the cameramen walked up to Kaylee, smiling as he held out a pen and paper.

"Kaylee Hanson, I'm a huge fan!" he said, shoving the pen and paper in her hand. "I think you're so cute and funny when you're on stage! The way you constantly annoy Kira, then pull the puppy face and make her forgive you instantly, only to pull the custy face again! You're the awesomest..."

"You think I'm cute?" Kaylee asked, looking up at the taller man while rocking back and forth on her feet. She smiled her devil's smile as she signed the paper and tossed it back at him. "Well, I think you're annoying. And you talk way too much."

The man looked down at the paper, reading the words: You're a great fan, love Kaylee.

"Thank you," he smiled, walking over to his camera while the Rangers, David and Jessica took their seats on the red couches. "In five!"

"Don't be nervous, guys," Ronny said to her team. Like Kaylee, she had been on TV several times before. "Being on TV's no big deal."

"Who's nervous?" Dax asked excitedly. "I've waited my whole life for this moment. This interview is going to make me a star!"

Tyzonn laughed, patting Dax's shoulder as he sat down beside the stunt man.

Dax looked at the camera and the audience and suddenly felt the butterflies in his stomach. As he sat down, he couldn't decide which leg to cross over the other.

"We're on in five," the cameraman started. "Four, three, two..."

"Good morning, San Angeles!" Jessica started as the audience clapped and cheered. "I'm Jessica Jeffries, and today we have some very special guests on the show, the heroes behind the helmets, the brave team of Operation Overdrive!"

"Thank you, Jessica. It's great to be here," Ronny smiled, leaning back on the couch as David put his arm up behind her.

"Now, let me see if I have this right," Jessica said, looking over at all the Rangers. "Mackenzie Hartford..."

"You can call me Mack," Mack told her.

"And you're Rose Ortiz, the child prodigy."

Rose shrugged and smiles nervously.

"Oh, you know, whatever," she said.

"Will Aston, international recovery specialist."

"What's up, J?" Will smirked, looking at the women in the crowd.

"Ronny Robinson, the world-famous race car driver, along with Kaylee Hanson, world famous singer-songwriter."

Ronny and Kaylee smiled, then waved to the camera together.

Jessica didn't know the last three people on the couch.

"And you are?" she asked, trying not to sound rude.

"Um..." Dax frowned, clearing his throat as he looked around nervously. "I'm – I'm..."

Dax looked over to Tyzonn, hoping for some help, but the alien was too captivated by earth technology to notice.

"He's Dax Lo," David said, grabbing Dax's shoulder. "Stunt man, superhero extraordinaire! And over there is Tyzonn, and I'm David Marks, the team's new doctor."

"Tyzonn?" Jessica asked, looking at the alien. "That's an interesting name."

"Oh, it's actually quite common on my planet," Tyzonn explained, never looking away from the cameras and their blinking red lights.

"I see..." Jessica frowned, not too sure what to make of Tyzonn. "So, anyways, what's it like for you guys, who never met before, to work together on such an important mission?"

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

"Okay everybody, we're going to commercial," the cameraman announced, allowing Operation Overdrive and Jessica to take a small break.

"You guys are great!" Jessica smiled, getting up to go to her dressing room. "I'll be back in five, don't go away!"

Dax waited until she was gone before jumping up from his seat.

"Oh, man! Did you see that?" he asked. "I, like, totally, totally choked!"

"Aw," Ronny cooed, patting Dax's shoulder as he collapsed in Jessica's chair, right beside her. "I thought it was kind of cute, the way you totally choked."

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

Jessica was in her dressing room when a woman, wearing a black suit and glasses, walked in holding a little box.

"Hello, Jessica Jeffries?" the woman asked.

"Yes?" Jessica answered, turning around to look at the strange woman.

"I'm Moira Higgs from Mayor Warner's office."

"Oh, hello," Jessica smiled.

"The Mayor has heard that you've got the Power Rangers on your show today," Moira explained. "He'd like to show his appreciation for all that they've done with these commendation medals."

She opened the little box, revealing seven little metals, each with a different Ranger colour. She picked up the green one and smiled as she looked closely at it.

"Oh, how wonderful!" Jessica exclaimed. "I'd be happy to give them to the Rangers on the mayor's behalf. Thank you."

"No, thank you," Moira smiled.

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

At the end of the show, the Rangers were saying their goodbyes to Jessica, each wearing their medals on their Overdrive uniforms.

"How cool is this?" Dax asked happily. "A medal from the mayor's office!"

"Oh, and so well deserved!" Jessica added. "I admire you all. You make such a difference out there."

"Yeah, well um, better get back to work guys," Rose said nervously as the others agreed. As they took a step down the stairs, Kaylee lost her balance and nearly fell over, had it not been for Ronny and David catching her and holding her up.

"Whoa," Ronny called.

"Are you alright?" Jessica asked.

"Yeah..." Kaylee said, holding her head and shaking it slightly, waiting for the blur in her vision to disappear. "I think I got up too fast..."

"Let's get you back to the mansion," Ronny suggested, keeping a hand close to Kaylee in case she fell again.

Behind the scenes, Kamdor walked up to Moira and smiled as she grabbed her shoulder, spinning her around.

"Did you complete the task?" he asked.

"Of course," Moira said, pulling off her glasses and her wig, revealing herself as Miratrix. "That bubble-brained reporter took the bait hook, line and sinker. What an airhead."

"I made those medals with a special alloy, that should react to the gem placed inside the green Ranger's body. If all goes well, it should reverse the healing process and return her to her premature state. She won't know what hit her!"

"Premature? As in born premature?" Miratrix asked.

Kamdor nodded and laughed.

"Yes, fool," he said. "A premature human baby's lungs aren't completely developed. And it just so happens that the legendary Ranger's a preemie."

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

"Kaylee, are you sure you're okay?" David asked as he and the Rangers sat around the coffee table, each with a bowl of cereal in front of them. Kaylee didn't seem to understand the concept of the bowl and had let her face fall inside as little bubbles started forming.

When she heard the doctor speak, she pulled her face out of her milk and frowned.

"What... I didn't catch that, I had milk in my ears."

She rubbed her ears but stopped when she realised what she had just said.

When Karly saw her master's face was out of the way of the milk, she jumped up onto the table and started drinking. Kaylee quickly pulled the cat away and put her on her lap.

"Milk in your ears?" Will laughed. "That's a new one, even for you."

"I've learned not to question my logic when I'm tired," Kaylee explained. "It's too hard. And sometimes, it makes no sense."

Andrew and Spencer walked into the room as the Rangers spoke about milk in ears. They knew the Rangers were an odd bunch, so they tried their best to ignore it.

"Rangers, I've been analyzing the jewel imprints on this Yanomami statue. I'm picking up a similar signature from a remote mountainside in Indonesia," Hartford said.

"Sweet, let's check it out!" Mack smiled, standing up with his friends. Kaylee stood at the head of the line as the Rangers grabbed their Trackers.

"Ready?" she asked.

"Ready!" the others called.

"OVERDRIVE ACCELERATE!" they all called. But during the morph, Kaylee dropped her Tracker and fell to her knees.

Ronny and Mack knelt down beside her with a worried look.

"There is definitely something wrong," Dax remarked.

"I'm okay," Kaylee assured them. "I just lost focus."

"You Rangers go without her," Spencer ordered the team, helping Kaylee up and holding her. "We'll take care of her."

"But Spencer..."

"Kaylee, he's right," Mack said. "Whatever's been bugging you is holding you back. It's just a little mission. We'll call if we need help."

-----Operation-Overdrive-----

Kaylee was taken to the kitchen by Spencer and David so they could examine her, hoping to find out what was wrong. Kaylee sat down on the counter and turned on the TV. She turned it onto the news and saw the Rangers were in a battle, and Jessica was reporting it.

"So, when did you first start feeling lightheaded?" David asked, shinning a flashlight in Kaylee's eyes, blocking her view of the TV as he did.

"I don't know. After the interview," Kaylee answered. "You were there. You saw."

"Did you have anything to drink today?" the doc asked. "Other than your milk, I mean."

"Yeah, I had juice this morning, and at lunch, oh, and I had a lot of yummy juice at the interview," Kaylee smiled. "Now, out of way, team in battle! Can't let them down!"

Kaylee jumped off the counter, and started running for the door, but before reaching it, she stopped and leaned against the frame, holding her head with one hand, and her heart with the other.

"Doc... call Tori..." she whispered as her breathing became difficult and her world started spinning. She started to panic once her vision went black and her hands moved to her throat as she started wheezing.

"Kaylee," David called, running to her side and holding her steady. "Kaylee, what's wrong? What's happening?"

Kaylee's lips turned blue and she started making a whistling noise.

Spencer had been watching the news since he saw Jessica running off. He wondered if she had something to do with Kaylee's emergency.

That's when the reporter burst into the mansion in a panic, bumping into Hartford, who was passing though the front hall with Kaylee's medical papers, hoping they would help the Doc and Spencer.

"Jessie, are you okay?" Hartford asked.

"Where's Kaylee?" Jessica asked, looking around.

"In the kitchen with Spencer and David, why?"

Jessica ran past the millionaire and into the kitchen, where she saw Kaylee lying on the ground, struggling for air.

"What happened to her?" she asked.

"We still haven't figured that out," David sighed. "What are you doing here?"

"I was on the scene with the Rangers and noticed Kaylee wasn't there," Jessica explained. "I had a horrible feeling after she nearly passed out on set, so I did a little investigating."

"What are you talking about?" Hartford asked.

"The medals!" Jessica cried out. "I called the mayor's office on my way here. They didn't send any medals. This is just a reporter's hunch, but it's worth a try."

She reached down and pulled the medal off Kaylee's uniform and watched as the Green Ranger's body slowly stopped jerking around and the color came back to her face.

Suddenly, Kaylee was gasping for air as she sat up, holding her lung area. Her body started to glow green and Spencer figured her powers were healing her.

"The hell?" she coughed. Spencer knelt down on the dirty floor and pulled her into a hug.

"I thought I lost you," he cried.

When he saw Kaylee was okay, Hartford turned to Jessica.

"How were the Rangers holding up when you left them?" he asked.

"Fairly well," Jessica smiled.

"Guys!" Dax's voice rang from the door. "We got a cannon! And kicked monster butt!"

He walked into the room, helping Tyzonn carry a cannon while the other Rangers walked behind them. The two boys nearly dropped the cannon when they saw Kaylee sitting on the floor, when Spencer crying.

"Kayl, you okay?" Ronny asked, pushing back the boys and sitting in front of her best friend.

"Yeah, but I have no idea what just happened," Kaylee frowned.

"Whoever gave me the medals probably wanted to take you out," Jessica explained, taking the medals away from the Rangers.

"That's rude," Kaylee frowned, crossing her arms over her chest.

"Well, I'll take these away from you before they cause anymore harm," Jessica said, putting the medals in her pocket. She then reached into her purse and pulled out seven different medals. "And I'll give you these in exchange. I got them from the mayor personally."

"Thanks," the Rangers smiled, each taking their own medals.

"Like I said before, you all deserve it," Jessica smiled.

"And now, we have work to do," Andrew said, taking the cannon from Dax and Tyzonn and setting it down on the counter. "This is the legendary cannon of Ki Amuk. It might play an important role in the next mission."

"Yeah, yeah, that's great and all, but I think I saw Karly sneak past with Ronny's socks!" Kaylee frowned as she crawled out of the kitchen and into the game room. "Here kitty, kitty, give mommy back the yucky sock."

"Oh no," Ronny yelled, turning and running after Kaylee. "You are not washing my lucky socks!"

Kaylee saw Ronny running after her, and jumped up to her feet, taking her cat and the socks with her and running for dear life.

"Kaylee Ann, get your ass back here!" Ronny called after her, using her speed to catch up to Kaylee as she tackled the blonde onto the couch.

"NO! Stinky needs a wash before I die in my sleep!" Kaylee yelled, playfully wrestling with Ronny in hopes of keeping the sock and washing it.

"You'll wash off my luckyded-ness!" Ronny frowned, pulling on her sock as Kaylee refused to let go. She suddenly had an idea. She pushed the sock against Kaylee face, letting the blonde get a full whiff of the horrible stench.

"GAH!" Kaylee yelled, pushing Ronny off her as she rolled off the couch. "My nose! My poor, poor nose!"

Ronny smiled proudly, cuddling with her sock, knowing she had won. The stinky yellow sock she had grown to love was once again safe from the washing machine.
