I DO NOT OWN.

Kadie's dress on profile.

-SCHOOL-

"Adam!" Aisha shouted as she and Kadie walked up to the black ranger. "I'm glad I caught you has anybody asked you to the dance yet?"
"No I think I'll just stay home that night and catch up on my reading."
"I'm not going either." Kadie shrugged.

"What? Why not?"
"I was going to go with Jason before you know…but now he's gone… I'm not exactly liked around here that much. Besides my surf club is having a movie night instead."

"Aw…but anyway Adam you will get a date to the dance if I have anything to say about it you know Sarah Diaz plays on the volleyball team?"
"Yeah she's beautiful and really smart too."
"She's also a bit of a bitch." Kadie mumbled.

"What?"
"Nothing continue Aisha."

"Well I happen to know for a fact that she thinks you're cute."

"Yeah right." Adam stated closing his locker.

"I'm serious."

"Come on Adam your hotter then Tommy at least." Kadie stated and they both looked at her sideways.

Suddenly she blushed but tried to cover it up. "Uh…what's with the staring I have no problem in saying he's hot. I'm a teenage girl for crying out loud."

"Well see Kadie. One of the most sought after girls in this school…"
"Aisha that's a load of bull move along and get to the point."
"It's the truth! Anyway I bet if you go to her volleyball practice after school she'll ask you to the dance."

"You sure?"
"Trust me I know these things."
"Okay I'll do it. Come on Kadie let's go to history."

"Chill your pants I'm coming."

They walked up the stairs toward their history class.

"You sure you won't go to the dance?" Adam asked her.

"Right now I'm positive. Hey how about I go with you to volleyball practice make sure you won't wimp out after school?"
"Okay. Thanks Kadie."
"Any time Adam…"

-AFTER SCHOOL-

They arrived in the park where the team practiced. "There she is…." Adam gulped.

"Come on buddy you can do it." Kadie pushed him.

He sighed. "Okay she's just a human being…pretty, smart, athletic female human being…"
"You can stop describing me Adam your future date's down there." She pointed at the bottom of the hill and he smiled at her.

Just then Putties appeared.

"Oh man not now."

"Let's go this." She nodded at Adam and they went back to back.

By the time they'd finished with the Putties practice was over and they were gone.

"I don't believe this." He sighed.

"Come on." She told him putting a hand on his arm and he tried to ignore the tingles that went up it at her touch.

'Come on man it's just Kadie…' He thought desperately in his head.

"…I'll buy you a smoothie. Maybe you can catch her tomorrow."

-YOUTH CENTRE-

"Lord Zedd has the worse timing ever." Kim agreed as they retold their story to the pink and yellow ranger.

"It's to late now…for Sarah…she's probably going to ask someone else."
"Lighten up Adam. You can come with me if you want to the surf club. They're dying to meet my new friends ever since I told them about you three. I'm not that bad am I?" Kadie asked him nudging Adam.

He smiled and shook his head. "Thanks Kadie."
"That's what I'm here for."

"Don't worry Adam you've got three days before the dance. Guys I got to go." Kim told them as she left.

Suddenly they heard a commotion going on over at the mats and they went to check it out.

A girl was demonstrating some karate skills on them and her talent had attracted a crowd.

"Ever seen her before?" Adam asked.

"Nope she must be new." Aisha replied.

"Kadie?"

"No…." Kadie shook her head.

"She's awesome." Adam smiled widely and Kadie couldn't help but feel the tinge of sadness in her belly at his words but pushed it away.

She finished and picked up her bag and…headed toward the three.

"Hi do you mind if I join you I'm new in school and I don't know many people."
"Sure…I'm Adam, this is Aisha and that's Kadie."
Kadie offered her a handshake but ended up in having her gear bag being shoved into her hands as she introduced herself to Adam and Adam only.

Kadie and Aisha looked at one another and Kadie looked at the bag in her hands half tempted to throw in on the ground.

"I understand you're one of the best martial artists at Angel Grove High! Do you mind showing me a few moves?" She asked.

"Sure." Adam smiled and they started to walk off.

"Oi!" Kadie shouted and the girl turned as Kadie threw her bag at her causing the girl to slightly stumble back at the force before Adam and the girl walked away.

"What do you think?" Aisha asked her.

"I think I'm going to the dance." She told Aisha. "Because I don't trust her."

Aisha nodded and the two went to join Adam and the girl now known as Sabrina and waited until Sabrina left.

"Yo Adam. Reality to Adam." Aisha waved a hand in from of his face and snapped him out of his daze.

"She's great isn't she?"
"I don't know about her."
"Hey give her chance. Why don't you come hiking tomorrow and get to know her."
"I can't not tomorrow but Kadie….you free?"
"Yep. I'll come along." Kadie smiled.

"Thanks Kay."

-NEXT DAY-

"Here we are!" Sabrina shouted. "This is the way!" She told them her hand nearly hitting Kadie in the face as she pushed her back so she could walk next to Adam.

"Why did you have to bring her along?" She asked Adam pouting.

"Kadie's one of my best friends I just wanted you two to get along."
"Well don't hold your breath."

Kadie walked behind them shaking her head arms folded eyes on Sabrina.

Bitch….Adam deserves better…okay where the fuck did that come from? Focus Kadie….you don't have time for any of that…romance stuff especially if that letter turns out to be true…

After a while they arrived at the top of the hill…and then Goldar and the Putties arrived.

As much as Kadie didn't like this bitch *cough* uh I mean Sabrina she was first in front of her to protect her from Giant golden monkey that was Goldar.

"Take cover Sabrina and don't come out until we tell you too."

"Thanks for the advice power ranger but I can take care of myself!" In a flash of golden light she'd transformed….into golden and revealing armour.

Since she was standing behind Kadie she wrapped her two arms around Kadie's neck.

"Ah shit." Kadie growled struggling.

"KADIE! What's going on who are you?" Adam snapped.

"Scorpina and I'm your worst nightmare." She cackled.

So lame Kadie thought trying to get loose as Scorpina cut off her air supply.

Goldar used his power to bind the both of the rangers to a tree as Kadie gasped for welcome air.

"You bitch when I get out of here I swear to Zordon…..If you ever try to strangle me again I WILL KILL YOU!" Kadie shouted.

"It's not like you're not used to it Baby blue ranger."

"Fuck you." Kadie growled. "You know nothing about me."

"But Lord Zedd does."
"Wait until I get my hands on you….how's your nose after last time? Because I'm pretty sure I broke it!" Kadie snarled.

"I can't reach my morpher." Adam told her.

"Me neither." She said.

So they were forced to wait.

"What did she mean you were used to being strangled Kadie?" Adam asked his friend quietly.

"I didn't have a great childhood Adam…" Was all she could say before the rest of the rangers arrived.

"Need a hand?"

"No we're here tied to a tree because we want to be." She shot at Tommy.

Adam looked down at Kadie. There she goes again. He realised. Putting up her walls and hiding behind smart comments and keeping away from the serious stuff…

After the rangers defeated the Putties but Tommy was still locked in a fight with Scorpina and Goldar Billy used his Power Lance to free the black and baby blue rangers.

"Let's do this." Kadie said. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!"

"MASTODON!"
"PLESIOSAURUS!"

"I'm coming after you Scorpina!" Kadie shouted.

But Zedd's growth grenade caused both Goldar and Scorpina to grow.

"Oh shit."

"WE NEED THUNDER ZORD POWER NOW!"

MASTODON LION THUNDERZORD POWER!"

"PTERODACTYL FIREBIRD THUNDERZORD POWER!"

"TRICERATOPS UNICORN THUNDERZORD POWER!"

"PLESIOSAURUS GREAT WHITE SHARK THUNDERZORD POWER!"

"SABERTOOTH TIGER GRIFFIN THUNDERZORD POWER!"

"TYRANNOSAURUS RED DRAGON THUNDERZORD POWER!"

"THUNDER MEGAZORD POWER READY!"

"Let's bring 'em down." Kadie shouted.

The fight proved to be difficult but the rangers always had a plan…I mean Tommy always had a plan….

Oh shit they never had a plan….Zordon just told them what to do and half the time Kadie was pretty sure he was making it up as he went along.

"THUNDER ULTRAZORD POWER UP!"

"Here comes Shelly!" Kadie grinned bouncing in her seat.

"Shelly?" Rocky asked.

"Oh yeah…she named the Shuttle Zord Shelly."

Then Scorpina and Goldar decided to run away….

Giant monkey and scorpion monster do what?

Yeah.

-DANCE-

"Cheer up Adam it could be worse!" Kim told him smiling.

"Yeah you could be here with Scorpina." Tommy told him and he smiled lightly.

"Sup." Kadie sat appearing beside them.

"OH MY GOD!" Kim shouted and Kadie sighed.

"You have fine seconds….starting now…" She told Kim.

"YOU'RE HERE! AND YOU'RE WEARING A DRESS! OH MY GOD YOU GOT A BLOW DRY! KADIE YOU LOOK FANTASTIC!"

"Okay stop."

Kim stopped but continued to grin.

"I thought you weren't coming." Tommy laughed.

"Yeah well….changed my mind didn't I?"
"You look awesome." Aisha squealed and she did.

In a baby blue just above the knee dress with a cut out blue mesh neckline.

Adam grinned. "You here solo too?"
"Yep." She nodded just as Sarah tapped Adam on the shoulder and talk to him but the conversation wasn't going anywhere.

"Oh lord…Sarah hi I know you still hate me but for the love of all that is good take the boy by the hand and go dance with him. Adam ask her to dance."

He swatted her away. "Do you want to dance?"
"I'd love to." They walked off toward the dance floor.

"Kadie. Why do I have a feeling you came for a boy in black tonight and not to hang out with your friends?" Aisha asked.

"You'll never prove that." She stated heading toward the juice bar.

"I WILL!" Aisha shouted.

"GOOD LUCK WITH THAT."

Aisha turned to Kim and Tommy. "I will."

Kim laughed. "I know."

Kadie sat up on a stool. "Been a long time since I've seen you this happy Kadie." Ernie grinned and passed her, her favourite milkshake. "On the house."

"Thanks Ernie." She smiled.

"Hey wait Kadie!" She turned and saw Adam run up to her briefly.

"What's up?"

"I wanted to thank you for the offer to go to the Surf Club for that movie night a while back I never got too…so uh." He quickly kissed her cheek and her face flushed red and he smiled. "Thanks Kay."

And ran back to Sarah.

"You okay there Kadie?" Ernie chuckled.

She smiled and pushed a piece of hair back behind her ear. "I'll be just fine."

I'll see you in the next chapter
