Aisha and Trini
by
Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)
Aisha looked around nervously as she headed to the cage area. She still didn't know what had possessed her to claim that she actually had the ability to cure wild animals of a mysterious plague. She opened her bag and began routing through it. No, actually she did. She just hoped that she had gotten far away enough to avoid...
"There you are!" shouted a voice Aisha had been hoping not to hear anytime soon. "Thought you could hide from me?"
Aisha sighed. If only Kim hadn't blabbed to Trini. Never mind though, the itching powder leotard she had sent Kim for her birthday should be vengeance enough.
Aisha groaned. "Aren't you overreacting just a bit, Trini? It was just one dance. " She pulled out the large rectal thermometer, took one look at the caged lion, then tossed the thermometer over her shoulder. She then pulled out several of the so-called 'pills' she had concocted and threw them in the cage. The lion eagerly lapped up the mashed zebra and sugar pills.
"Me? Overreacting?" retorted Trini. "I'm not the one hiding in Kenya pretending to be some kind of animal expert. I ought to report you to the SPCA or PETA."
"Hey, is it my fault these guys actually believe that a high school girl knows more than an experienced vet?" Aisha defended herself as she yanked out a notebook and began jotting down some random numbers. After all, she had to have some kind of records to give the inspectors when they come next month. "Besides, maybe I should report you. Last I heard you were posing yourself as the ambassador to Belgium to all the cute guys in Geneva."
"How'd you? I mean, I would never stoop to such a level," replied Trini indignantly.
"Yeah sure," snickered Aisha. "Who do you think Zack visits every time he goes on his weekend tours?"
"That snake!" cried Trini. "I bet he's told you all about Jason and me!" She leaned against the cage and moaned in despair, not caring that the lion was now licking her shoulder.
"He sure did," announced Aisha with relish. "Although why you two entered a Swiss yodeling competition last year is beyond me."
"I know. It's just that we...Hey!" exclaimed Trini as she moved from the cage, causing the large feline to clamp his teeth on a bar instead of her. "You're trying to distract me! Well, it won't work. He's mine and you're not getting him." She leaned in and growled, "and don't ever forget that!"
Aisha looked oddly at her. "I know you're desperate, but I'm sure even you can do better than Bulk."
"That's not who..." Trini paused and stared back. "Bulk? You danced with Bulk? Willingly? Ewwww!" She shivered.
"Hey, he's not that bad anymore," stated Aisha. "He actually took a bath that day." She headed to another cage. "Besides, I just gave him a sympathy dance because Kim gave one to Skull."
"Ok, well, then I guess that's ok," acceded Trini as she followed Aisha. "I just...wait!" she shouted. "You're distracting me again! I knew it! I just knew you wanted him for yourself!"
Aisha sighed. "Ok, I danced with a lot of guys that evening. So, unless you want to spend the next twenty minutes going over each one, please tell me who you're talking about." She reached into the bag.
"Billy!" blurted Trini. "He's mine! Everyone knows that!"
"Oh?" asked Aisha as she tossed something at the caged zebra. It ignored the mashed lion and sugar pills that bounced off it. "How does everyone know that? It's not like you two ever dated."
"No, but why else would he continuously talk in brainy gibberish just so that I could stand by him and translate? Why else did he ask me to help him whenever he had to invent something for the team?"
"Uh, because you were the only other one there who knew how?" Aisha began to write more fake notes. "Besides, Billy obviously doesn't know he's yours."
Trini grinned. "Sure he does. And he'll be so glad he waited for me when I get back next month."
"Waited for you?" exclaimed Aisha. "Didn't Jason tell you? He went to the planet Aquitar to live with an alien girl."
"WHAT?! No one told me that!!!!" Trini looked around and then pulled out her communicator.
"Wait, what're you doing?" asked Aisha in a panicked voice. "You're not supposed to use that unless it's an emergency."
"Well, this is an emergency," growled Trini. "I'm going to Power Chamber and teleporting myself to Aquitar. Then I'm going to cut the fins off the bitch who stole my man!" She then pressed a button and disappeared.
Aisha gazed at the now empty spot and then shook her head. She entered her hut...and was immediately accosted by a group of angry PETA protestors. Kim had gotten her vengeance for the itchy leotards.
