Power Rangers Aura: Episode 6: To Be Pink or Not To Be Pink Pt. 2

[Clu-less]

******

Coralis sat down on at a counter of an all night diner. "Kind of late to just be coming out." The server said.

"Did I ask you?" She asked.

"Okay, sorry, my bad." The server said, a little flustered. "It's just, most of the time there aren't pretty girls like you out this late. Unless they're doing bad stuff. Not that you look like the type to do bad things I'm just saying..."

As he babbled, Coralis looked up and smiled. He was actually quite attractive. "Hey, what's your name?" Coralis asked.

"It's Miguel." He said.

"Coralis." She offered him and hand. He gave her a firm handshake. "Nice grip." Coralis said with a chuckle.

"Sorry, guess I don't know my own strength." Miguel said. "So, what can I get you?" He asked.

"Well, I came for some coffee, but...maybe we could just...talk instead." Coralis said. Miguel smiled.

**********
2 Hours Later...

"I mean, I can't believe she'd do that to me." Coralis said. "I mean...I'm her sister, and for her to..." She looked at Miguel, who almost looked like he had sat through a 2 hour long lecture he didn't want to hear. "Oh my...I'm so sorry, you haven't said anything all night." Coralis said with a chuckle.

"It's okay." Miguel said with a smile. "It's good to get out your emotions sometimes. And I agree, it seems like a pretty underhanded tactic for a sister to pull."

"Yeah, well, screw 'em." Coralis sighed. "I mean, if neither one wants me, I guess I'm not gonna sit on my ass and wait around for them to change their mind."

"That's understandable." Miguel said. "Hey, my shift is almost over so..."

"Oh, okay, I guess I'll go." Coralis said, a little bit saddened.

"No, it's okay. Maybe we could go somewhere else to talk." Miguel said. "There's like this little coffee shop that's open all night. They've got the best cookies in town." He said with a smile.

"Well...you do owe me a drink." Coralis said, returning his smile.

*********

"That was...mmmm...." Carolin moaned and chuckled as she and Tommy cuddled in bed.

"Yeah, I agree." Tommy said. "Your sister is gonna kill us, but it was great nonetheless."

"She'll get over it." Carolin said. "I hope."

*********

"I've been doing the talking all night." Coralis sat as she took a sip of hot chocolate. "So why don't you tell me something about you."

"Well, there's not much to tell." Miguel said.

"Oh come on." Coralis said, rolling her eyes. "How old are you?"

"I'm 19." Miguel said. Coralis chuckled. "What?"

"Your a youngin. I'm a year older." Coralis said with a smile.

"Not much older." Miguel smiled back and took a bite of his blueberry muffin. "Anyway, I'm taking courses at the University of California at Brookstone. I'm majoring in computer analysis and post-modern mythology."

"Oh, a smart arty." Coralis teased. "Why those classes?"

"Well, in all actuality...I'm kinda trying to develop my own..." He stopped himself short.

"Develop what?" Coralis asked.

"Well...ever since I was younger, I've had this sort of...fascination with the Power Rangers." Miguel said. "I've been trying to find an ancient power source strong enough to use with my morphing technology, but..." Miguel sighed. "You think I'm crazy?"

"No, trust me, I don't." Coralis said. "I mean...I guess in a way, the Rangers fascinate me too." Coralis said. "So, what else?"

"There's not much to tell. I mean, my life is pretty boring." Miguel said. "Now you, you're interesting."

"How so?" Coralis asked.

"Well, you've got so many stores. A story to tell." Miguel said. "And if you don't mind me saying, you're beautiful as well."

"Aww..." Coralis said. "That's so sweet. Thank you."

"No problem. Well, I have to be going home."

"Ohh..." Coralis said, getting the sad feeling again. "Alright." She and Miguel stood up. "You know, I'll give you my cell number, maybe we can hang out another time..." She took out a pen and wrote her number backwards on his forehead. "There."

"Why'd you do that?" Miguel asked.

"Well, you can't look in the mirror without seeing my number first." Coralis said with a smile. Then a thought crossed her mind. "I do have a case of insomnia...maybe you could show me your technology. I'd really like to see it."

"Maybe another time." Miguel said. "I've got classes in the morning..."

"I'm so sorry, I didn't realize..." Coralis started.

"No, it's okay." Miguel said. "I'll see you later." He said as he quickly left, his face a bit flushed. Coralis felt her heart skip a few beats. "What a guy..." Coralis sighed. Then without being able to control herself, she rushed out the door of the cafe. "Miguel, wait!" She called after him.

"Huh?" Miguel said, trying to get some of the color out of his cheeks. Coralis walked up and kissed him passionately. Miguel's cheeks from a dull red to a flaming red as she kissed him. Miguel sucked in a deep breath as Coralis broke away.

"I really...really wanted to know that..you're really cute...and funny, and...I really like you." She said.

"Uh...well...m-m-me too. I-I wasn't...wasn't...I..." Miguel couldn't compose himself. It wasn't often that a woman he barely knew decided to kiss him like she had, not that he was complaining. "Uh...thanks." He managed.

"Can we go back to your place?" Coralis asked sweetly, though her intentions were anything but.

"Well, I...I don't think that would be a good idea. It's late, and I got classes..." Miguel stammered.

"Come on, Miguel...I'll make it worth your while, I promise." Coralis cooed.

"I-I-I don't kn-know, I m-m-mean we barely kn-know each other..." Miguel said.

"Miguel, sometimes people just click, and I just clicked with you." Coralis said. "Come on..." She said as she took his hand. "I don't bite. Hard." She said seductively. Miguel swallowed his heart, which had jumped into his throat.

******

"Where is she?" Carolin came back into Tommy's bedroom.

"Who?" Tommy asked.

"Coralis." Carolin said as she tied her hair back into a ponytail. "I don't like it when she goes out this late. I mean, I know she's 20 or whatever but she can still be irresponsible at times, it just scares the hell out of me when she does this."

"Don't worry, she's a big girl." Tommy said as he put his arm around her. "I mean, she'll probably be home soon."

"I guess." Carolin said with a little reassured.

******

But perhaps she shouldn't've been reassured. Miguel opened the door and Coralis practically leapt into his arms and kissed him passionately. Miguel fell over his coffee table onto his leather couch with Coralis not missing a beat. "Coralis...Coralis wait!" He said, almost pushing her off the couch.

"What?" Coralis asked.

"Look...look, we just met, y-y-you kn-know and, we hardly know each other, we can't do this."

"Why not?" Coralis pouted.

"Because...look we can't because I...because I...don't...know you..." Miguel's voice trailed off.

"Miguel...are you a virgin?" Coralis asked.

"Well..I've really only done it once." Miguel said. "And like I said...we just met...and...I just wouldn't feel comfortable. Do you understand?"

"Yeah..." Coralis stopped straddling him. "I'm so sorry, I don't know what came over me. I just think it and then I react to it and...I'm sorry."

"It's okay." Miguel said. "I mean...everyone makes mistakes, you know?"

"But this didn't feel like a mistake. It felt...right." Coralis turned back and looked at him. "I totally didn't mean to embarass you."

"I know." Miguel said. "It's okay."

"Maybe I should just go..." Coralis said, but Miguel stopped her.

"Don't leave." Miguel said.

"I should, you've got classes in the morning." Coralis sighed as she stood up. Miguel gathered some courage and stopped her. "Miguel..."

"Don't go. Please." Miguel said. "I don't want you to go." He said as he softly kissed her. Coralis kissed back more passionately and once again they were lost in the moment. They both pulled each others shirts off and Miguel lifted her up and carried her into his bedroom....

*******Coralis opened the backdoor to the house as quitely as she could and crept it. She made sure to step lightly as to not make the floor crack. If she could make it upstairs, she could make it seem like she got in late at night...

"Where have you been?" Carolin spat. It was definately a statement and not a question. "Where!" She yelled.

"Whoa, whoa, whoa, big sis, we're not little anymore, you can't talk to me like that." Coralis said. "And it's none of your business where I was." She said as she started up the steps, but Carolin yanked her back down. "Watch it!" She yellled.

"No, tell me where the fuck you were, you had me worried sick!" Carolin yelled. "I didn't know where the hell you were!"

"I'm 20, dammit, I can handle myself, and I figured you'd be too tangled in Tommy's sheets to think about me!" Coralis yelled.

"Is this what this is about, me and Tommy, you're jealous?"

"Hardly!" Coralis spat. "I mean, yeah, granted, I liked him, but I found a guy that's ten times better..."

"Guy, what guy?" Carolin asked.

"It's not important..." Coralis started.

"Bitch, it is important!" Carolin yelled, not able to stop the words before they came out. "I mean, you meet some guy and in one night you're practically dating him!"

"You know what, fuck you!" Coralis yelled. "I don't need this shit, why don't you just go back to where you fucking came from!" She screamed as she charged up the stairs. Carolin sighed-they sounded like they were back in high school.

"Oh, Manolos!" Suki stopped and looked dreamily into the window. "Adam, please, get them for me!" She said as she pulled down her red Chicago Bulls Jersey Dress.

"Hell no." Adam said and he pushed his black shades up on his nose.

"Honey, please?" Suki pleaded. "They're only $500, you could get that from working at the garage, please, I need the shoes."

"Suki, you have two walk-in closets, the downstairs coat closet, a cabinet, and more shoes stored under the bed. No more shoes!" Adam said.

"Oh yeah, what if I told you to stop saving for that Hummer H2 you want?" Suki asked.

"That's my money that I earned, use your cash to buy your $500 shoes." Adam said.

"Hey guys..." Coralis said as she and, Letty, Clu walked up to them. "What's up?"

"Adam won't get me the shoes I want..." Suki started to go off and a rant, but she stopped herself short when she saw Coralis' expression. "What's wrong, sweeheart?"

"Everything..." She said, her lips starting to tremble and tears began to fall from her eyes. Clu hugged her and she started to sob into his chest.

"What happened?" Adam asked.

"She and Carolin had a big arguement." Clu said. "About Tommy and this new guy she's seeing..."

"Wait, you found a new guy?" Suki asked.

"Yeah." Coralis said. "I told him to meet us here since I figured you'd be beggin Adam for another pair of shoes." She said, kind of forcing a smile.

"Hey, don't worry about my brother and Carolin." Letty said. "They'll get over themselves."

"Coralis?" Miguel said. Coralis tried to compose herself and turned around, but her make-up was already running before she could stop fix it. "What's wrong?" Miguel asked as he hugged her.

"Nothing. Don't worry about it." Coralis sniffed. "I want you to meet my friends." She said as she walked him over to her teammates. "Guys, this is Miguel, Miguel this is Adam, Suki, Letty and Clu, my friends."

"Uh, it's, uh, n-nice to meet you guys." Miguel stammered.

"Well, seems as if their's a little dissension in the ranks." Maria said as she fixed her boobs afixed in a tube top. "Damn, I can never manage to keep these things on."

"You were saying something about dissension in the ranks?" Elgar asked, even though he could barely keep his eyes off his empress. He might've been an alien, but he had taste.

"Poor wittle Coralis is heartbroken over losing Tommy to her sister." Maria said with a smile. "It's in our best interest to stir the pot a little more."

"Uh, and how do we intend to do that?" Elgar scratched his oddly shaped head.

"By making Tommy jealous of Miguel. But first, a warm-up." She said. "Elgar, send down the Velocicycles!"

********

"He's sooo cute!" Suki said as she took a sip of her Corona.

"Yeah. He's something special." Coralis said with a smile.

"You haven't even known him for a day, for all you know he could be a psychopath." Letty said.

"A fine ass psychopath." Suki said.

"Fine or not, what do you know about him?" Letty asked.

"I know he's 19, and that he's from Burbank, and that...uh...he's...uh..." Coralis' voice trailed off.

"See, you know jack squat about him." Letty said.

"Look, if anything, Clu won't let Miguel get to me if he's a freak." Coralis said. "Then again...he does have a lot of Ranger plans..."

"Shh!" Suki shushed her as the boys walked pass the table. "You mean to tell me he knows?"

"No. He's trying to develop the technology." Coralis said. "But I've seen his work so far, no way it'll work."

"Girls." Clu walked up to the table. "We, uh, gotta go. Emergency."

"Right." Coralis said as they quickly got ready to leave. "Uh, Miguel, I have to go."

"What's the emergency? Can I help?" Miguel asked sincerly.

"No, baby...look, don't worry about it, we can handle it." Coralis said as the Ranger practically pulled her away.


"Go ahead, Jen." Clu said.

"There's a bunch of Kelsak's on bikes." She reported. "The Aura Cycles need a test run..."

"We're on it." Clu said. He looked at the others and they nodded. "Alright guys, IT'S MORPHIN' TIME!"

*******

"WOO, I LOVE THESE THINGS!" AuraBlue yelled as the modified Ducatti and Yamaha motorcycles flew through the backstreets of Brookstone. "Man, now tell me this isn't cool!"

"Where's Tommy?" AuraRed asked.

"Jen's been trying to contact him, but he's not answering." AuraBlack said.

"So exactlly what is our plan?" AuraPink asked.

"I'm not sure." AuraBlack said. "Tommy is the plan guy."

"There!" AuraYeloow revved her bike. "Let's take them out!"

The five Rangers split up. AuraPink took off after two Velocicycles and fired. Both crashed into each other. She jumped over the wreckage and landed on top of another bike, sending it's driver falling to the the ground. She landed on the ground and made a fast U-turn and fired her lasers again, causing two more to carreen off the road.

AuraBlue took off through the woods on his dirt bike, Velocicycles write on his tail. "Come on, you losers, keep up!" He said as he jumped a hill. One Velocicycle crashed into a tree, but he still had five on his tail. "One down." He said as he hit another jump, soaring through the trees. He unholstered his weapon and fired back over his shoulder hitting one in the chest. He landed hard on the ground. "Two down." He said as he noticed he was heading towards a canyon. "Shit." He said. "Boosters on!" He pushed a red button and the bike instantly sped up. He jetted across the canyon as if there was a ground underneith him. The rest of his tailers, however, weren't so lucky.

AuraBlack hopped up and stood on his bike. "AURA ROD!" He yelled. His weapon appeared in his hand. "AURA ROD, AURA BREAK!" He tossed the weapon and it broke into several segments. It clothesline two approaching cycles. He ducked as AuraYellow soared over him, but a group of cycles charged towards her. "MASTER ROTOS!" She yelled, sending one of her weapons into a pole. The yo-yos wrapped around and turned the bike around. "AURA MAGNUM!" She yelled and fired over shoulder. The cycles all fel in a domino effect.

AuraRed dodged some heavy fire as she sped down the road. When shot hit her fender and sent her skidding down a hill. "SHIT!" She yelled as she pulled her bike back up to it's vertical base. The heavy fire continued as she turned around towards the group following her. "AURA FLAME CYCLONE!" She yelled. Fire started to swirl around the bike as she gained speed. With a push of the booster button, she flew through the Velocicycles, destroying them on contact. "Hell yeah, I love these things!"

"I know, these bikes are awesome!" AuraBlue said. "Who needs Tommy anyway?"

Shots rung out from the sky and the Rangers shielded their eyes as Ecliptor landed. "Aw damn..." AuraBlue said.

"This shit just got a lot worse." AuraRed hopped off her bike. "What do you want Ecliptor?" She growled.

"I want you destroyed, it's simple as that." Ecliptor said as he sword appeared in hand.

"Ecliptor, this speech is getting seriously old, bro." AuraBlue said as the Rangers took their battle stances. "You can't think of something more original?"

"If I were you I'd bite my tongue, Rangers!" Elcliptor yelled as he charged. The Ranger ran fowards. Ecliptor bought his sword down on AuraPink and kicked AuraBlue in the stomach as he charged. AuraRed and AuraYellow jumped in the air for kicks, but Ecliptor bought them down with a blast from his eyes, sending them crashing to the ground. AuraBlack swung his Aura Rod, but Ecliptor blocked it and fired three shots. AuraBlack deflected the first two, but the third nailed him square in the chest.

"AURA SPARKS, DOUBLE SWORD MODE!" He yelled. His two weapons transformed into two large blades. He charged Ecliptor and bought one sword down on his chest and the other across his stomach, but Ecliptor barely moved. "I hope you weren't expecting that to hurt me." Ecliptor said as he grabbed AuraBlue by the neck and lifted him in the air. AuraBlue dropped his weapons and tried to get himself out of Ecliptor's vice like grip. "Okay...may we need Tommy..." He sputtered.

[Clu-less]

"What do you think of this skirt?" Carolin asked as he exited the dressing room in a tiny black leather skirt and white halter top.

"It's great, if you plan to only wear it when I'm around?" Tommy said with a smile.

"Don't tell me your the jealous type, Tommy Ortega." Carolin smiled as she kissed him.

"Maybe a little." He said with a smile. Then he heard something. "What's that?"

"I don't know?" Carolin said as she picked up her purse. She opened it up and the sound got louder. "It's this thing." She pulled out Tommy's communicator.

"Shit." He cussed as he took it. "This is Tommy, come in."

"Where the fuck have you been, the others need your help!" Jen yelled.

"Man, I totally forgot it was in Carolin's purse." Tommy said.

"Yeah, that's really gonna be a great excuse when you tell Coralis and the others. Hurry up." Jen said.

"Right." Tommy said as he turned to Carolin. "Duty calls."

"Well don't just stand there, get moving!" She said.

"Right." Tommy nodded. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME! AURA CHANGE!"

*******

AuraPink dropkicked Ecliptor, but the monster didn't even budge. "Get...him...off...me..." AuraBlue said, gasping for air, slipping into and out of consciousness.

"SE-YAH!" AuraGold yelled as he bough his Golden Power Staff crashing into Ecliptor's arm. The warrior let AuraBlue fall to the ground in a heap. "I hope you weren't expecting me to not show, Ecliptor." He said as he readied himself for battle.

"I was actually wondering when you'd show up, Gold Ranger." Ecliptor said with a laugh. "Now I get a real challenge!" He and AuraGold charged each other and stalemates, each trying their best to overpower the other. "Face it Ranger, you can't defeat me." Ecliptor laughed as he started to overpower AuraGold.

"AURA CYCLONE, FIRE!" Ecliptor turned just as he was blown away by a massive blast from the Rangers Aura Cannon. AuraGold slowly stood and walked to his team. "Way to go guys..."

"Don't way to go us!" AuraPink yelled as she shoved him. "Just where the fuck were you!"

"Hey, chill out, I didn't have my communicator!" AuraGold yelled.

"Ugh, you must've been born late since every thought in your brain arrives 10 minutes too slow." AuraPink growled.

"RANGERS!" Ecliptor roared as he burst with energy. The Rangers took their battle stances. "This isn't over!" He laughed, holding the swirling orb of energy they had just shot at him.

"No way!" AuraBlack said. "That shot should've destroyed him!"

"Thanks for the power boost, Rangers!" Ecliptor said as he disappeared.

"What was that supposed to mean?" AuraYellow asked.

"What's your deal, anyway?" AuraGold and AuraPink were still fuming at each other, like nothing happened. "I came, didn't I?"

"You seem to forget, we saved your ass! Some big badass Ranger you are!" AuraPink walked towards her Aura Cycle. "I'll catch you guys later." She said.

"Where are you going? I thought we were gonna hang out!" AuraBlue yelled.

"Yeah, well I changed my mind!" AuraPink yelled back as she hopped on her bike and took off.

"Well, that went well." AuraYellow said.

*******

"Miguel!" Coralis ran up to him, and it looked like he was upset. "Honey...I'm so sorry."

"Where'd you go?" He asked as he started walking down the street.

"I had to take care of something. Sweetheart I'm so sorry, I..."

"I was worried, you just up and left." Miguel said.

"I'm sorry, Miguel, I didn't mean to scare you." She said as she finally stopped him. "I had an emergency I had to take care of."

"What was it?" Miguel asked. Coralis didn't answer right away. "Well?" He asked.

"Miguel...I can't...I can't tell you." She sighed. "But...just trust me on this, okay?"

"Okay...okay." Miguel said with a sigh as he took Coralis' hands. "So, where'd your friend go."

"With Tommy and Carolin..." She said, rolling her eyes.

"You know, you'll have to get over this one day." He said as they started to walk again. "You can't abandon your family."

"Watch me." Coralis said, rolling her eyes. "Maybe I should meet your friends first, you know?"

"Yeah, that would be cool." Miguel looked at his watch. "Oh man... I've got to go..."

"But why?" Coralis asked.

"I have to test my powers." Miguel said. "But maybe you could come over later, you know?"

"Miguel, we were supposed to spend the whole day together. I know I left but I want to be with you the rest of the day." She pouted.

"Coralis, there's all sorts of things that can happen, the powers are so unstable that one wrong move and...and I could lose you. It's too dangerous, alright?"

"Then I don't want you fucking around." Coralis said. "If you can get hurt..."

"I'll be fine." Miguel said. "Honey, I'll talk to you later, okay?"

"But baby..." Coralis made one final attempt to stop him, but Miguel was off before she could stop him.
