Here it is! The next chapter! I like this one! Oh and when during the scene where Zordon gives Kaleb the green power coin, I forgot to mention Kaleb's ThunderZord. You'll find out what it is in this chapter. And the chemistry between Red and Green become stronger.

I don't own anything here except Kaleb, his Zords, his family and any other OC

I remained standing there for a few minutes, trying to compose myself. Let's analyze my situation here, shall we? I'm standing in a lake, when I'm afraid of water. My friend wants to teach me how to swim and he just took off his shirt. Oh and let's not forget, I HAVE A CRUSH ON SAID FRIEND! How does Rocky expect me to concentrate on swimming when he's distracting me with his beautiful body?

Seriously though, being a Power Ranger, a martial arts teacher and a lifeguard have sure done wonders for this guy. If I couldn't tell from the days he'd where those really tight shirts, I'd be in shock of how muscular this guy was. It wasn't that he was buffed out that it looked like he was on Steroids, but he was definitely fit as hell, and it kind of made me feel self conscious about my body.

He broke me out of my thoughts by speaking. "Okay, so since this is the first lesson, I might as well teach you how to float." He said, after thinking for a minute.

I turned to look at him, in the eye, "R-Rocky? W-Why are you d-doing this?" I stuttered, for two reasons; I was scared and my mind still hasn't gotten over having a shirtless DeSantos in front of me.

Rocky just smiled at me, "Because everyone needs help getting over their fears." He told me.

I gave him a scared smile, showing I was very nervous. I hated feeling this way. There were so many things that scared me that shouldn't scare many people, or at least people my age. It was ironic actually, how I could face one of Lord Zedd's monsters no problem, but put me in a lake in waist high water, then I freak out. You don't even want to know what I do during violent thunderstorms.

He grabbed my shoulders, "Okay, so I'm going to lay you backwards, okay?" He asked.

I nodded, still shaking. Rocky just chuckled, "Don't worry K, I'm a lifeguard, I won't let anything happen to you." He said quietly.

It's those types of things Rocky says that make me fall that much more for him. I felt like an, ugh, cliche heroine getting saved by the, ugh, cliche hero. Man, I hate cliches!

Rocky was just about to have my back touch the water, when our communicators went off. I stood up, while Rocky brought his communicator to his mouth, "This is Rocky and Kaleb, we read you."

Alpha's panicked voice blared out of the wristwatch machine, "Rocky! Zedd's unleashed a terrible monster on the other side of the lake! You must stop it before it gets to the swimmers!" He explained.

He turned to me, and nodded, "Okay, we're on our way Alpha!" He then turned to me, "I guess the lesson will have to wait."

I shrugged, "Or we could just forget-"

"Not happening!" He called as he pulled me back to shore. I had a pout on my face. Rocky was actually really mean sometimes. Aisha and Billy joined us, as Rocky pulled his shirt on. The Yellow Ranger gave me a wink, which I stuck my tongue out in response. The Red Ranger explained what was going on, and we walked farther away from the beach, with Rocky getting another lifeguard to take his place for the moment.

I groaned, "This is a really bad time for the others to be scuba diving!" I whined. Aisha just sighed, "Well, it's just us then."

Billy nodded, "Alright guys, let's do it." He went to his back pocket and pulled out his morpher, "It's Morphing Time!"

Triceratops!

Saber-Tooth Tiger!

Parasaur!

Tyrannosaurus!

Once we morphed, we hopped onto a lifeguard station, where we got a bird's eye view of the situation. The monster was a giant walking HammerHead Shark. Rocky pointed to it, "Take a look at that ugly thing!"

The monster took a step towards us, laughing, "Ah-ha! Power Rangers, I knew you'd take the bait!" He bragged.

Rocky took the initiative and started the battle off with some good ole' trash talking, "You picked the wrong beach to pollute Tuna Breath! Now you're going back to the can where you belong!"

We all then jumped off the shack and landed in our fighting positions, before taking off, trying to fight this thing. Billy threw a kick up high, but the monster blocked it. Rocky, from his position, did the same thing, but it failed as well. Aisha tried throwing in some punches, but they were all blocked. I jumped and tried kicking its head, but it grabbed my foot out of the air and threw me. I landed on my back, but I got back up and tried a different approach.

I went up behind it, and swept my foot under his feet. That seemed like a move that always got the monster to fall. But, it must've sensed me, because it jumped out of the way and then slashed my chest, making me fly backwards. I landed okay, but Rocky wasn't as lucky. He landed on his side and kept rolling. The three of us, being Billy, Aisha and I, ran over to help him up. "Rocky are you alright?" Aisha asked.

Rocky nodded, getting back up, "Yeah, I'm okay, but this shark monster's a little tougher than I expected." He admitted, getting back into fighting positions.

The shark cackled, "Haha, you throwing in the towel already? Haha!" He chortled. "But we're just getting started!"

Rocky, from his position, called after the monster, "We're not through with you yet!"

Billy agreed, "No way!"

Me and Aisha nodded, "Right!" We said at the same time. It wasn't a time to laugh, so we just brushed it off.

The shark monster just laughed, "This is so much fun, I thought I'd invite a couple friends!" He cried, and two bolts of lightning shot down next to him. One was an ugly flower shark monster and the other was some sort of walking sea slime. I flinched, getting ready to face these freaks of nature.

"Ugh, I always hated fish." I muttered.

Billy got into position, "Great, just what we needed. More underwater weirdos."

Aisha just grimaced, "Ugh, and they smell bad too!"

The monsters only laughed, kicking up dirt and danced about a little. I was really sick and tired of them and we only fought them for like two minutes. Rocky turned to the rest of us, "Come on guys, lets give these biters the hook!" He said. Ugh, such a cliche!

I ran along with them, deciding to go after the first monster, the HammerHead. I threw a kick at its gills, but he blocked me, "Haha, thought you could pull a fast one, eh?"

I smirked, knowing that he'd catch it. I placed my hands on the ground and pulled my leg around, making the monster fling off my leg and onto the ground. It was kind of like what would happen with a hammer throw. He got up and started attacking again. He swung an arm, making me duck. He tried slamming an arm down on my back, but I quickly moved out of the way, laughing. "Gotta do better than that fish face." I taunted, before kicking him in the stomach.

HammerHead quickly recovered and used his arm to slam right into my side. I was sent flying backward and Aisha hit me too, so we were back to back. Billy came running to us and pushed us, along with himself out of the way. A red crayfish creature fell from the sky, landing were the three of us were mere seconds ago.

Billy looked at the four monsters, "This is looking bad!"

Aisha nodded, "That's for sure!"

I moved up to get back into fighting position, "Guys, if we don't get help soon, we're gonna be fish stew!" I warned. Rocky kept fighting, even taking two monsters at once. I wanted to go help, but the damn crayfish monster attacked me, leaving me to fight the thing off. I heard Rocky contact Alpha, but I was too busy blocking the swings of the crayfish to notice what he was saying.

I growled, kicking the guy right in the knee, making him fall onto it. I then swung my foot over his head and slammed the heel down, knocking his face into the sand. I glared at him, "How's the sand taste you overgrown sushi?"

He grabbed my leg and pulled, knocking me down as well. "Why don't you find out for yourself!?" I groaned as I tried to get up. "Man, don't you ever quit?"

He just cackled, before being kicked sideways by a black blur. I looked around and saw Adam, Tommy and Kim all getting in fighting positions. I got up and joined them, behind Billy. Tommy started the ever so clever trash talking, which I didn't pay attention to, as I was too busy thinking about how to clobber these fish heads.

Finally, we charged into battle. I jumped the flower shark monster, by landing a kick to his face. Rocky then grabbed his arm and twisted it so the monster fell on to the ground, but not before flipping onto his back of course. I laughed at him, before high-fiving Rocky.

Rocky went to go help Adam and Aisha, while I joined Billy and Kim, fighting the weird slime monster. Billy was holding him by his arms, while Kim sent a hard kick to the stomach. I smiled, seeing this. I heard our communicators go off again, and Zordon told us that a Tube Monster has started wreaking havoc on the city.

Tommy spoke up, "You guys go and defend the city, I'll take care of the 'Catch of the Day'." He ordered.

Kim, from where she was hitting a monster, turned to him, "Are you sure Tommy? What if you can't handle these fish heads by yourself?"

"Don't worry about me you guys. Just get that ThunderZord downtown."

We all nodded and lined up. I cheered a bit, "It's about time I get to use this!" We all grabbed our Power Coins on our belts, and called out. "WE NEED THUNDERZORD POWER! NOW!"

Mastodon/Lion ThunderZord Power!

Pterodactyl/FireBird ThunderZord Power!

Triceratops/Unicorn ThunderZord Power!

Parasaurus/Basilisk ThunderZord Power!(A Basilisk is a very large snake, said to be able to kill people if you look it directly in the eye. If you catch it's reflection, then you become petrified solid.)

Saber-Tooth Tiger/Griffin ThunderZord Power!

Tyrannosaurus/Red Dragon ThunderZord Power!

I watched as my green ParaZord was hit by a bolt of lightning, transforming it into a giant green snake. I grinned, "Alright!" I jumped up and landed on it's head. "This is really cool!" I announced as I opened a hatch and jumped inside. There were controls all over the place with different pictures. Feeling like I've done this before, I pressed a button and shouted out my command, "Basilisk ThunderZord Warrior Mode!"

The snake's tail separated into two parts, opening up at the ends, revealing feet. The head spun underneath, replacing it with a humanoid head, but with fangs on the sides of his mouth. It kind of looked like a robot vampire. The sides by the head spread out, and made hands on each end.

I posed in my cockpit, grinning to myself. "Guys, I'm online and ready for action!"

I heard Rocky's voice reply, "Alright then, lets see what you can do!"

I grinned, "Gladly!" I pressed a button with the picture of a whip with a few lightning bolts shooting from it. "ThunderWhip Activated!"

The Tube Monster just laughed, "Oh Power Rangers, are you ready to be destroyed like the city?"

I laughed, "Oh please, don't make me laugh!" I pressed a few buttons, like something was controlling me and telling me what to do. My Zord lifted it's arm holding the whip and cracked it forward. The whip snapped in the air, missing the Tube completely, but it sent a large blast of electricity right at the monster, paralyzing it. I held a fist and pulled it close to me, "He's all yours guys!"

I watched on as Thunder MegaZord used it's ThunderSaber, making the monster instantly explode. Ah, the wonders of logic!

Jumping out of my Zord, I saluted it, "Thanks for the help, buddy!"

It changed back into it's Basilisk form and gave out a proud hiss. I laughed a bit, holding my belt and de-morphing. I could only assume that Tommy was able to defeat the other four loser monsters. I looked around and saw that the others were just finished de-morphing as well. Billy ran up to me, "Kaleb, that was amazing!"

I blushed a bit, looking a little embarrassed, "Well, I just did what came naturally."

Kim bounced around, "I just think your Zord is so cool! A snake? Totally fits you!" She said, giggling. I raised an eyebrow, "So, I'm a snake?"

She quickly realized her mistake, "Oops, I didn't mean it like that. I just mean that snakes are very intelligent and they are very flexible and stealthy. Like you."

I laughed, "I guess you're right."

Rocky smiled, "Alright, now that we're done here, how about we continue that lesson from before Kaleb?"

Aw rats, I thought that with all this excitement, he'd forget. "Um, what lesson? I don't remember any lesson?" I played stupid. I then put a hand to my ear, "Um, I think I hear my sister calling."

Rocky rolled his eyes, grabbing the back of my shirt and dragging me back to the beach. I tried struggling, "Rocky, please! I'll do anything!"

The rest of the rangers followed. I was facing them, because Rocky was dragging me backwards. Kim looked at me, "What's going on?"

Billy gave me an amused glance, "Kaleb is afraid of water and can't swim, so Rocky's offering him some lessons."

I glared at him, "Triceratops Traitor!" I called to him. I looked to see the water getting closer with everyone at the beach coming more into view. I looked back up to Rocky, "Oh please! Rocky, Rocko, Rockmeister, please don't do this! I don't want to face my fear!" I whined.

Said Red Ranger just looked down at me, "You're not going to convince me. I'm going to help you get over this damn fear, and that's that." He said, firmly. I pouted, "You're lucky I'm not charging you for assault." I muttered.

I still struggled, not wanting to go back in the water. How come I could get loose from a Putties group easy, but getting away from Rocky is just impossible?

I looked around and smiled. No one except the gang were able to actually see us, so I slyly pressed a button on my communicator, teleporting me behind a tree near where my stuff was. I can only assume Rocky's reaction.

He'd probably be really annoyed and then he'd be like, "Aw come on Kaleb! Stop being so childish." and then I'll say, "I'm not being childish, I'm just defending myself from going into the water." and then he'll leave me alone and I'll be able to live happily ever after, never going into the water.

At least, that's what my thought process was before I felt someone pick me up and throw me in the shallow water. I glared towards who did it and just sighed. Rocky had his arms crossed, back with his shirt off, ready to start this torturous lesson. He was also smirking that damn sexy smirk. "Nice try Kaleb, but next time, teleport somewhere we won't be able to find you."

I just turned away from him, "I'm not speaking to you again." I said, in all seriousness, though I really was lying. He called my bluff too.

"No, you will. You just don't want to be in the water, but too bad. I'm making you." He said, walking towards me again. The whole process before the monsters came repeated and this time, Rocky was successful at getting me laying down in the water on my back. Of course, I wasn't floating as his arms were under me.

It was probably the closest thing to being in Rocky's arms I'll ever get. Oh well, it's a cruel world.

The other five rangers watched on with amused glances. Billy turned to the rest of them, "Am I alone in assuming that our newest friend may have an attraction to Rocky?" He asked. Tommy and Adam both shook their heads, signalling that they thought the same.

Kim and Aisha both smiled knowing smiles at each other, before nodding too. Adam leaned down to Aisha's ear. "When do you think Rocky will tell them?"

The Yellow Ranger sighed, shrugging, "I don't know Adam. It's up to him to tell them when he's ready." She replied.

Breaking away from the two's secret conversation, Kim and Tommy had a good laugh at Kaleb thrashing about in the water, trying to paddle to move, and not going anywhere. It was an amusing sight. (I've been using that word a lot, amusing. XD)

Tommy spoke up, "You know, they actually would look good together." He commented. He wasn't used to having many gay friends, but he was open-minded and he didn't care about what other people did with their lives. They should be able to love who they wanted without fear of judgement.

Kim nodded, "I agree."

The five just watch the scene unfold as Kaleb finally starts swimming, back towards the beach and away from Rocky, who looks like a drowned rat with his hair all down and soaked. I guess it wasn't the perfect day to go swimming after all.

There you have it! The team all believes that Kaleb has a crush on Rocky. But what is this secret Rocky has that Aisha and Adam know about?

I admit though, I did make Kaleb a little childish, but he's the youngest of the rangers, so I had to add some sort of childish conflict. Oh, and what do you think of his Zord? The ThunderZords are based of mythological creatures, so I visited my Harry Potter arsenal and used the giant snake as the ThunderZord.

Next time: Kaleb reveals a touching moment in his past during a class assignment. However, Lord Zedd turns back the hands of time, making everyone young children and not having their powers. What happens if Putties come by and attack them? Also, Rocky has some questions about things.

Haha, I'm still getting better at this preview thing!
