#trini x reader

It started after Trini didn’t appear at school one day.

You figured she was ill, but it was only after that that she was avoiding you and hanging out with a new group of friends.

A completely new group that had almost formed overnight.

Including Jason Scott, Kimberly Hart, Billy Cranston and Zack Taylor.

You were tempted to approach them, since it was only with them that you saw Trini, besides in detention or classes. But she’d stopped talking to you or even really acknowledging you as she chose her new friendship group over you.

It was only when you decided to follow Trini and her friends one day that you figured out why she was avoiding you.

///

You had managed to trail the five teens past the mines, watching them linger near from cliffs before eventually jumping off of them. Audible splashes heard as you stared in shock.

“The fuck?” You whispered, debating on checking out the cliffs or just waitng for them to somehow appear? What if they all just died? Did you even consider that?

It was almost sunset by the time you heard more splashing noises, your body was becoming one with the thicket of ivy as your jaw dropped.

The Power Rangers had just emerged from the cliffs.

Your jaw almost couldn’t drop any further until you watched the Power Rangers demorph.

Trini was the Yellow Power Ranger?

///

The streetlights illuminated a warm white glow as you wobbled down the street like Bambi on ice. Your hands were shaking as you brought them up to your face, running your cold fingers down your cheeks as you began to think.

Your feet betrayed you as you caught your foot on the doorstep, falling into the door as it opened.

“Dinner’s in the microwave for you.”

That was all that was said as you headed for the kitchen.

///

You were asleep by 4am, having spent a large quantity of your evening and night researching the Power Rangers and when they had first appeared.

The dates lined up.

You weren’t even angry, if you thought about it. You were just sad, and almost felt betrayed. You thought Trini would have at least still been friends with you, even if she couldn’t tell you about being a Ranger.

You rolled your eyes, guessing the usual excuse. She was doing it to protect you. Either way, it didn’t protect your mental state, going back to before the two of you even met or had a friendship, due to her avoidance of you.

///

Falling asleep by 4am meant you slept through your morning classes, waking up by half 11 to running around an empty house to find some clothes and your backpack.

You didn’t know that Trini had noticed your absence in your shared classes. She even spent lunch looking around for you, much to the confusion of the other Rangers.

“Trini, you okay?” Jason enquired, gaining a glare from her as she kept looking around.

“Who are you looking for?” Kim asked, glancing around to see if there was anyone specific Trini was looking at.

“It’s Y/n S/n, right? They’re not here, skipped all their classes this morning.” Zack stated, leaving the others to stare at him.

“What? We’re suppposed to work together on a history project. Didn’t you do that project with them, back before shit went crazy?” Zack replied, raising an eyebrow as Trini glared at her lunch, pushing the tray away.

“I haven’t spoken to them since then... I thought they’d be safer that way.” She swallowed nervously as she eventually spotted you walking past, speed-walking through the cafeteria to further into the school.

“They look pissed.” Jason stated, leaving Trini to pause before she stood up, slinging her back over her shoulder.

“Where are you going?” Billy asked, looking up from his lunchbox of tech.

“To talk to them.” Trini deadpanned, pausing as the others began to grab their stuff.

“We’re coming with.”

///

You were sat on the floor with your back against the cold metal of the lockers, staring into space with a box of cereal in your arms when Trini and her friends walked over.

“Y/n. You okay?” Trini asked, kneeling down next to you as you turned your head to to acknowledge her.

Ever since the Power Rangers defeated Rita, their life had changed. They were now not only a group of friends, but they were also superheroes. And having the fate of the world depending on you, asked for them to be well trained. Every day after school they’d gather at the quarry to train for a few hours. Like clockwork, they’d all arrive. But the past two weeks had been different. 

A new girl had moved to Angel Grove and had immediately caught the attention of the Power Rangers. She later became an addition to the team, being the purple ranger. To their delight, the group dynamic didn’t change - only grew stronger, really. Something else that kept growing stronger were Trini’s feelings for the new girl and with that came the unwanted feeling of jealousy every time someone else showed interest in the purple ranger.

“They’re late, again,” Trini mumbled out. Her hands in her pockets, kicking some rocks into the depths of the cliff.

Kimberly smiled sympathetically, “I’m sure they’ll be here soon,”

Though Trini had never really told Kim about her feelings towards their new friend, Kim could see right through her and knew just how much this made her feel.

“Yeah! Yeah, it won’t take much longer!” Billy smiled brightly, trying to comfort her. He noticed Trini’s discomfort but didn’t really know where to place it.

Zack - who had just been sitting on some rock, doing his own thing - stood up when they heard the two missing team members approach.

Y/N’s laughter lashed out in the clear air, seizing Trini’s attention.

“You don’t always need superpowers to be a hero, though.” 

Jason and Y/N came into view.

“They sure do help, you can’t deny that.” Jason smiled at the girl next to him before looking up to meet the others.

“Hey, sorry we’re late, we-”

“Let’s go,” Trini ignored them and jumped off the cliff, into the water. Kimberly noticed the look on Y/N’s face - she seemed confused at Trini’s behaviour - and gave her an apologetic smile on behalf of her friend, before jumping after Trini.

“Trying out her patience?” Zack gave them a half smile before shaking his head. ”It’s wearing thin.” He said before jumping down.

“It’s good you’re here, come on, we gotta go train!” Billy clapped his hands together and jumped in with Jason and Y/N and soon the six of them were standing in the pit.

The purple ranger walked over to Trini, sensing that she’d done something wrong.

“Hey Trin, we okay?” She decided to just be blunt about it. Trini seemed taken aback. She furrowed her eyebrows before quickly changing that into a smile,

“Yeah, we are. Sorry for before,” 

Alpha 5′s voice interrupted their little conversation.

“Alright everyone, we’re going to fight in teams first. Pick your partners,” 

Trini turned back around to face Y/N, “Wanna fight?” She presented her a teasing smile but it dropped as soon as she saw the apologetic look on Y/N’s face.

“Jason kind of offered to help me with my kicks. Since I’m new, I’m not that good yet…and… yeah…” Her voice died down. 

“Sure,” Trini tried her best to smile but it probably looked really awkward, since that was how she felt.

Y/N excused herself and walked over to Jason who presented her a smile upon seeing her approach.

“You can’t blame her,” Kimberly’s voice interrupted Trini’s thoughts. They went to stand in their fighting stance, “She has no clue of how you feel… or what she’s doing wrong.” 

The two girls started to throw light punches at each other, “And she’s just training with him,” Kimberly ducked, “-not sucking his face off,” 

Trini put more power in her punch this time, causing Kimberly to stumble back a bit - clearly not expecting it. Trini kept silent and so did Kimberly after that. Everyone fought each other for a while before Alpha 5 walked up to them again.

“Okay, Trini, can you join Jason and Y/N? She needs help perfecting her movements. Kimberly, join the guys and try out some slip-grab-flip techniques.” He ordered and started to talk to Billy.

Kimberly gave her friend a look which clearly said: control yourself, be nice, before leaving to train with the guys.

Trini’s feet led her to the duo, even though her mind wanted her to walk the opposite way. 

“Y/N got all the moves down, she just needs to be less insecure about performing them. It all needs to be more smooth.” Jason took on his leadership role and started to instruct the girls.

“Trini and I will demonstrate for you,” 

The yellow ranger rose her eyebrows before thinking of what Kimberly had tried to tell her and suck it in.

Trini blocked Jason’s punch and ducked away when he tried to kick her. She came back up once she stood behind him, grabbing him in a headlock. This was exactly what the demonstration was supposed to look like, however, Trini squeezed a bit too hard causing Jason to yelp out.

“Trini!” Y/N yelled at her friend. Trini immediately let go. Jason coughed and started to rub his neck while Y/N came to check on him.

Zack approached. “Who stepped on your tail today?” 

“Yeah, what’s wrong with you?” Jason managed to bring out after a few seconds, “You’ve been like this for weeks. Get your shit together, man. You’re ruining the team spirit.” 

“Oh,” Trini scoffed, “I am?” 

“Guys, I suggest we shouldn’t-” Billy tried but got cut off by Trini.

“You have been showing up late to every training and I am the one messing things up?” She shot. 

The group fell quiet for a moment, no one knew what to say and if they did, they were afraid it would make things worse.

“I’m sorry,” Y/N finally decided to be the first to break the uncomfortable silence. “I feel like… ever since I joined you guys, things have been different. I obviously don’t know how things were before… but I just-” She stopped herself, not knowing what to say.

Alpha 5 padded into the pit and saw the group of teens gathered together. Not truly knowing how to read human feelings, he just thought they were chatting, not seeing how on edge some of them looked.

“Hey! Back to training,” 

Jason gave Trini a look before Billy and Zack took him to train with them. Kimberly took it upon her to try and get rid of the uneasiness that was still lingering in the air.

“Let’s see how we can help you,” She directed to Y/N and grabbed Trini’s arm to keep her from staring Jason down.

“Actually, Trini,” Y/N locked eyes with the yellow ranger in front of her, “Could we maybe talk really quick?”

Trini nodded and followed Y/N to the steps that led back to the ship. They sat down, out of earshot of everyone and looked at how they were training. 

“What’s going on?” The purple ranger asked with a stern look in her eyes since she really wanted to know what was going on.

Trini sighed, deciding to just go with it. 

“It’s not always cool to see you hang out with Jason all the time. I’d like to spend time with you, too, but he’s always with or around you,” she revealed.

Y/N widened her eyes, immediately apologizing. “I’m so sorry, I never realized it looked like I am picking favourites. He’s just a nice guy and the first friend I had before I met you guys and truth be told, I like all of you guys, equally.” The girl sighed. “It just always seemed like you were fed up with me… as if you didn’t want me here. You’re always grumpy whenever I’m with you guys.” 

Trini chuckled, “That’s ‘cause you’re always with Jason,” She cleared her throat, “In all honesty, I would love to spend some time with you… without Jason that is.”

Y/N laughed, relieved that she wasn’t the problem of Trini’s discomfort.

“Well, in all honesty, I’d love to spend some time with you, too… just us.”

Trini smiled widely, “I’d love that,” She nodded.

“First you gotta do something for me, though,” Y/N pursed her lips, “Go apologize to Jason,” 

The yellow ranger scrunched up her face, “But I-” She immediately stopped when she saw the look on the face of the girl next to her. 

“Fine, but we’re hanging out after training, deal?”

It’s Zack who tries to get y’all together first, since he’s the Matchmaker of the group. He got those girls together, why not make it a throuple?

Billy, your bff, notices that you seem distant and upset whenever Trini and Kim are being affectionate so he tries to help out. But the minute he figures out you like em both...he immediately grabs Jason, tells him, and they both go to Zack for help.

Thus, begins Operation Pink Lemonade + You (Zack wasn’t good at coming up with names tbh)

Zack casually asks the girls what they thought of you. And by casually I meant like

“Soooo, do you think, she’s cute?” *wiggly eyebrows*

“Zack wtf, we’re already dating.” Trini

“Hell yeah they’re cute.” - Kim

“.....Yeah I agree.”

Zack has the biggest shit eating

grin on his face and the girls immediately feel like hell froze over.

And then the next day, Zack calls you to the pool for the sake of a team building exercise.

Everyone is wearing their swimsuits, you are staring at Trimberly, they act like they don’t notice. But they dooooo. They like da way you loooooook. You lookin fiiiiiine yo.

But there’s a lot of tension and neither of you make a move until Kim slides on in like, “I guess it’s not the sun that’s hot today.” *wink*

And then you faint and the girls have to give you mouth to mouth.

BUT Y’ALL STILL DON’T CONFESS??? IT’S GETTING ON THE BOYS’ NERVES????

So Zack is like ‘fuk dis’ and locks you three in a classroom and yells, “YOU GUYS AREN’T COMING OUT UNTIL YOU CONFESS!”

And you’re so confused?????

“Confess....confess what? I’m not hiding anything!”

“We know you like us, just come on into this relationship okay?” Kim is just straight up asking ya this man.

Again you faint.

Your femur was broken. That meant you needed physiotherapy to help walk when you weren't resting or studying from your bed. Trini would turn up everyday after school, where the two of you would study together. You'd spend your time learning whilst Trini did her homework or worked on her side of projects that she was doing with her other friends.

"Do you need anything?" Trini's voice echoed from the doorway as she watched you attempting to practice your physiotherapy exercises.

"Um... I need to do my physiotherapy exercises, can you... help? I need to lean on the wall and reintroduce weight onto my leg."

"Weight? You mean your body weight, right?" Trini replied, sitting on the edge of your bed as you leaned on the wall to the side of you. You could feel Trini's eyes on you as you repeated what the physiotherapist had said under your breath.

"Are you okay?"

"What?" You mumbled, glancing at Trini as she watched you grumble under your breath.

"Are you okay? I don't mean physically, because obviously you're not, but, mentally, are you okay? How are you feeling?" Trini replied, rambling slightly as she watched you continue.

"I... I miss the grass and the fresh air. That's where I want to go when I can walk again." You admitted, letting out a sigh as Trini shifted in your bed.

"I miss your house and sitting in your room with you as we listen to your headphones on, waiting to climb out the window to avoid your mother. I miss walking around the quarry with you as the sun sets, the sky is pink and you're all glowy and pretty in the light." Trini smiled softly as you continued to ramble, your exercises ceasing as you played with your hands instead.

Trini's hand clasped yours gently as she guided you back to your bed, letting you lean on her as you stumbled slightly. Your eyes flickered over to the chipped nail polish that Trini was wearing. You hadn't noticed that she'd forgone her usual colour, in favour of a nail polish in your favourite colour instead.

"I miss that too, but I like this as well, I like spending time with you, all of you, broken femur and all." Trini replied, smiling as you kissed her on the cheek.

"I like your nail polish by the way." you whispered, watching Trini shiver as your breath hit her ear.

“Zordon? Master?” Alpha asked into the darkness, leaving Kim and Jason to frown.

“Where is he?”

“He must have stepped through the grid!” Alpha affirmed, confusing everyone.

“Alpha, where’d he go?” Trini voiced as Zack glanced around.

“He came back to life.” Billy realised, frowning as his eyes went to your body.

“I don’t know where he is.” Alpha admitted, twiddling his thumbs before a large blast eminated from Zordon’s wall as he returned into it.

“Zordon, what? Why didn’t you step through? That was your only chance!” Alpha exclaimed, leaving Zordon to sigh.

“I know. But only one can come back.” Zordon ominiously replied, looking over at how Billy had gone over to you.

The spluttering noises caught everyone else’s attention though.

“Oh uh! Kim!” Billy called out, Kim and Trini rushing to your side as you rolled onto it.

“Y/n!” Jason gasped as you stood up, coughing up sea water.

You were almost immediately tackled by your sister, your crush and Zack.

One glance at Jason had you noticing he was crying.

“Did I die?” You murmured, leaving Kim and Trini to exchange looks.

“No!”

“Yes!”

“A little bit.” Zack explained, leaving you to grimace.

“Ugh, I’m never swimming in the sea again. You guys brought me back to life?” You murmured, frowning as you wiped away a tear from Trini’s cheek.

“Like Billy said, superheroes.” You smiled softly before you were hugged tightly by Kim.

“There can only be one Red Ranger. Jason, this is your time, this is your team.” Zordon affirmed, leaving Jason to weakly nod.

“Thank you.”

///

Kim had given you enough hugs to almost smother you as Jason and Zack pryed her away by making her focus on the mission instead.

This meant that Kim was watching you from the corner of her eye as you stood with Trini.

“Do you?” Trini’s question had you frowning as you looked up at her, brushing a curl of her hair from her face to behind her ear.

“Do I what?”

“Adore me?” Trini hesistated as she said that, noticing your smirk.

“Forget I said anything-” Trini let out a squeak, interrupting herself as you kissed her on the cheek before running.

Kim loved to hike the trails at night since your house was on the other side of the mountain.

Whereas before you busted your mountain bike and your arm, you would bike the trails and take photos as you were going along. Now you were stuck hiking with Kim and her sad expressions that implied she didn’t want to talk as she stared down at Angel Grove.

Kim withheld rolling her eyes as she heard the click of your camera, interrupting her staring contest with the town. You had your tongue poking out the side of your mouth as you angled your camera perfectly to get a photo of the town lit up at night.

You didn’t even realise Kim had disappeared to go swim until you heard a guy’s voice.

“I know you used to date Ty Fleming.”

“Oh, well you know I punched his tooth out.” Kim’s voice was loud enough for you to navigate your way to her.

“I know they put it back.” The guy stated, pausing as he spotted you.

“You’re Y/n, right?” Jason asked, leaving you to just shrug one of your shoulders, glancing at Kim before you snapped a photo of something on the other side of them.

///

The two of them were talking as you lingered, taking photos until the loud blast of an explosion had your camera almost slipping from your fingers.

You had barely made it down the cliff with Kim when you heard a voice.

“HEY! You guys looking to get busted or something? This place is a restricted area!”

“Oh really, Einstein!” Another guy shouted but you were busy trying to take photos of the cliffs before Billy appeared next to you, reaching out to touch the cliff.

“Oh no.” Billy exclaimed, making you look at him before the two of you began to run, the cliff-face collapsing and the girl from above falling.

You landed on your stomach, inhaling mouthfuls of dust which you choked on as your lungs ached.

“Y/n, you okay? Y/n?” Kim began to panic as she heard you choking, her shoulders sagging as you gave her a thumbs up, your camera gripped in your other hand for dear life.

“Whoah... what is it?” Billy whispered as the six of you spotted the glittery cliff-face, a clicking making Jason raise an eyebrow at you as you snapped a photo before the guy you didn’t know the name of began to smash at it.

You didn’t expect the other girl to pass you one of the weird crystals until Kim used her phone torch on yours, revealing the clear white crystal as the light refracted, sending a beam of rainbow onto the ground near your foot and the other girl’s foot.

You didn’t hear the mine security alarm but Kim was already pulling you to get running with her and the other girl until Kim pushed you forwards so Jason could pull you into the van, you in turn grabbing Kim and the other girl.

“Guys, guys, guys, there’s a train!”

You managed to grab your sister’s hand, the feeling of your cast touching her wrist making her jump as she realised it was you.

The change in focus meant that neither you or Kim saw the train’s headlights light up the van as it hit it.

///

You woke up on the floor of your room, throwing the blanket off your head, your fingers hit something hard.

“What the-” You froze as you spotted your cast lying there like it had just slid off your arm... your arm!

It was completely healed, even though you had another month left until it was supposed to.

“Y/n!” Kim whispered, knocking on the door to your room which you swung open, the two of you staring in shock as you staggered back, holding the door with it’s ripped off hinges still attached.

“What the- wait is that your cast? Oh my god, your arm!” Kim exclaimed as she ran into the room, watching you trying to place the door back in the frame by sitting on your bed where the cast lay.

“Yeah...” You replied before remembering the weird coin thing that was in the pocket of your jacket.

Kim went quiet as her phone buzzed, her face forming a frown as you watched her grip on her phone increase until you both heard the shattering of glass. The phone breaking into two pieces as glass shards sprayed.

“Uhh, we should, we should, go to school.” You suggested, frowning as you found the reel of film from the camera you were using last night.

“What the-”

///

Whilst your sister went to her classes, you spent any free time outside of yours looking for the other two at lunch, to no luck.

Your sister found you, revealing the plans to head down to the mine after Jason found her and they found Billy.

“I couldn’t find the other two. I don’t think they showed up to class.” You replied but Kim just shook her head.

“I forget you skipped a grade sometimes.” Kim remarked, leaving you to shrug at her. “I’m still a grade below you, they didn’t want to cause a rivalry or something if we were in the same grade, remember?”

///

The police were outside the mines after finding the remains of Billy’s van.

“Hey! Come on down! We should figure this out together!” Jason called to the other girl who just glared even though she was all the way across the other side of the cliffs.

“Whoah...”

“Damn.” You whispered under your breath before your feet were moving for you as you jumped down the cliff, running past Zack to climb the other cliff to catch up to her.

“Y/n!” Kim shouted, trying to catch up with you as Zack followed up behind.

Kim managed to overtake you as the three of you scrambled up the rocks, finally arriving at the top of the cliff where the other girl had skidded to a halt.

Kim was talking when the girl jumped over the ravine to the next cliff.

“Uhhh...” You murmured as Zack started yelling.

“Oh, you’re crazy, but so am I!” 

You didn’t expect Zack to just launch himself over the cliff to reach her.

“Jump with me!” Kim stated to Jason, making you just stare at her for a moment before you clenched your fist.

“Y/n, what are you-” Kim exclaimed but you had already started running before kicking off the cliff.

Landing on your feet was harder than you realised as you stumbled, crashing at the feet of the other girl who just smiled as she realised you were grinning.

“C’mon Kim!” You shouted as you sat up, leaving the other three to just laugh.

“You wouldn’t believe she had a broken arm on Saturday.” Kim remarked to Jason before they jumped across the ravine, leaving you all waiting on Billy.

///

Kim kept you behind her the entire time you were on Zordon’s ship, your hand entwining with hers after Alpha 5 scared you all.

You didn’t let go of Kim until you were all at home.

///

Training in the pit wasn’t the most enjoyable of things to spend your free time doing. You trained with Zack as Kim trained with Trini.

“Nice work, Y/n!” Alpha cheered as you managed to throw Zack on his butt.

Trini and Kim turned around in time to see what had happened as you were helping Zack up off the ground.

Training against the putties was harder though.

Especially when Kim would freak out if you got hurt or sent flying into Trini to the point where you woke up lying on her.

“Sorry, sorry!” you stuttered, hurriedly getting off Trini who had gone pink much to your obliviousness.

///

Trini and Kim using their forks to fight over the last piece of Krispy Kreme donut had you laughing to yourself as you managed to snatch it, quickly eating it as Trini and Kim both just stared at you with wide eyes before the three of you started laughing even more.

///

Seeing Billy morph for the first time made you realise why you were all failing to.

There was no true teamwork here.

Barely a friendship going on between some members.

“Get out. Training is over for today. Go home.” Zordon ordered, leaving you to turn to Alpha 5.

“If you can’t morph. You aren’t rangers.” Zordon growled but you just stared at the power coin in your hand.

“The power coins still chose us, before we could morph, before any of this. You expect a functioning team to morph immediately? We barely knew each other before we found the coins! You can’t make a team out of strangers! We just... need to get to know each other... properly.” You exclaimed, falling quieter and quieter as the others stared at you before you bolted.

“Y/n-” Kim began, about to head after you before she realised you’d dropped something.

“What is it?” Zack asked, glancing at what Kim was holding.

“One of Y/n’s photo reels...” Kim explained, looking through the photos quickly with a soft smile.

“What?”

“She took photos of us.”

///

“I’m going to stay up here tonight, build a fire, cook some food-”

You nodded at Kim before the five of you began to scavenge as Jason went back to the ship.

///

“You must shed your masks to wear this armour.” Kim’s impression of Zordon had you grinning as you attempted to not have your marshmallow turn into a fiery meteor.

“Think only of each other and the Morphing Grid will open to you.” Zack’s impression made a giggle escape your mouth, gaining Trini’s attention as she smiled to herself, watching you panic as your marshmallow turned into said fiery meteor.

“Let’s not forget both Kimberly and Y/n Hart were also in detention.” Billy stated, gesturing to you and Kim.

“Not tonight.” Kim replied, glancing at you as you shrugged.

“Turns out you shoving someone then you getting shoved to the ground by the person shoved ends up with you in detention and the other person got away with it. So yeah.” You explained, eating the meteor marshmallow to create a sticky mess so you didn’t need to talk anymore.

“Wait, didn’t you have a cast on your arm when we first met?” Jason asked, leaving you to look down at said arm.

“After the trainwreck, I woke up and found it on the floor, almost like it had slid off my arm. Also, my broken arm was healed even though I had another month with the cast on to go.” You explained, giving a frown from Zack.

“How did you break your arm?”

You glanced at Kim who just raised an eyebrow at you back, mouthing ‘you sure?’ to you but you just nodded back.

“I was out on my mountain bike, coming back from a trail and a car didn’t see me, they were speeding but I was thrown from my bike. My bike took the brunt of the damage somehow but i had a broken arm and a concussion.”

“You almost fractured your skull, too.” Kim added, leaving you to just sigh, shrugging off what Kim said as you ran your fingers over where the stitches had been.

“I could tell you anything and you would have to believe me.” Trini chuckled, making eye contact with you as you stretched out your arms.

“Okay. Um, I’m the new girl. Always. 3 schools in 3 years. It’s crazy, I like it that way, it’s easier, nobody has to get to know me and my parents don’t have to worry about my relationships.” 

“Boyfriend troubles?” Zack asked, leaving Trini to just blandly reply after drinking her beer. “Yeah. Boyfriend troubles.”

You were about to tune out then when Zack asked something else.

“Girlfriend troubles?”

“Mood.” You whispered under your breath, leaving Kim to glance at you and everyone to fall silent before Trini continued to talk.

“My family is so normal. Too normal. They believe in labels, they’d like me to, um, dress differently. Talk more. Have the kinds of friends they want me to have. I don’t know how to tell them what’s really going on with me. I never said any of this out loud...”

“Are we Power Rangers? Or, are we friends?” Trini asked, watching as you stood up to sit next to Kim.

“You okay?” Kim asked, noticing your demeanor.

“Cold.”

“I told you to bring a jacket-”

“Shush! I know!” You retorted to Kim’s acknowledgement of what you said, not expecting Trini to throw a jacket at your head until it hit you in the face.

“Thanks, T.” 

///

You knew that Kim had snuck out but you didn’t care, sending one final text to Billy and Zack before reading what Trini had sent.

“Oh crumbs!” You exclaimed, hurrying to get changed and sneak out the window.

///

“Rita came to my house tonight!” Trini announced, leaving Jason to ask where Rita had said to meet. “She said to meet her where the dead ships live.”

“You know this is a really bad idea, right?” Kim asked, leaving Jason to shrug it off. “The worst.”

///

Without being able to morph, Rita was too strong. She kicked all your asses, tying you all up to the side of a ship.

“Five little rangers, tied up like fish.” Rita taunted, glancing over you all until she paused over Jason, tormenting him.

“No, Red, you don’t know. But guess what, one of you knows the location of my crystal. But who could it be? Eeny Meiny, Miney, Blue.” Rita began before her eyes landed on you, her sceptor following as you choked for air.

“She dies, in 3, 2-”

“Okay, okay! Don’t hurt my friends, alright? It’s at a doughnut establishment.” Billy began before Rita got impatient.

“Where? What does that mean? What’s it called!” 

“It’s a Krispy Kreme.”

“A Krispy Kreme? This is a special place?” Rita enquired, glancing back to you again as your eyes went to Kim.

“Very special.” Billy explained, leaving Rita to go into thought.

“It must be. The source of life itself is buried there. Thank you Blue, for being so weak. Now the White Ranger will pay for it. Zordon would lose all respect for me if I don’t kill at least one of you...”

“Kim!” You yelled in panic before a green pulse from Rita’s power coin hit you, the ropes holding you to the boat letting you drop into the ocean.

“Y/N!” Kim screamed as Trini begged Jason to help you.

The rope continued to glow green as you struggled before it went still.

“No! NO!” Kim’s screaming didn’t stop until Rita shouted something as she was leaving.

“You’re not ready to kil me! You’re not worthy!” 

The blast of wind from the sceptor freed the other rangers who scrambled to save you.

They’d managed to pull your lifeless body from the waters as Kim scrambled to hold you.

“Y/n... please, wake up.”

“She’s going to be okay, right?” Trini asked, her voice cracking as Kim began to cry.

“I swore, I swore I was always going to protect her.” Kim whimpered, “now my baby sister is dead.” 

Billy spotted something sticking out of your pocket, gesturing to Kim to look as she sniffled as she found some water-damaged photos you’d had developed.

One was with her before everything with Ty happened.

Another was of Trini, smiling.

You had one of Billy and Jason whilst Zack was being a dork in the background too.
