School sucks. Always did, alwasy will. Why can't high school be like it is on TV? All the chicks are hot and the guys are friendly. Instead we have guys like Bulk and Skull making life Hell for everyone smaller than them combined. I wish I was like Jason and his friends. They stand up to those two. You know what? After I finish this exam I'm gonna purposely walk to the Juice Bar and wait for their taunts; so I can give them a good mouthfull! ...What am I kidding..? I'm not strong. I'm just a bookworm. And not even the type that attracts girls like Billy. I'm just a loser. Just like Bulk and Skull says.

This is my favorite time of day. That period between 'school's out' and 'going home' where everyone just relaxes and talks about which teacher was the biggest jerk today. Ah man, there she is... Sarah Peterson, the hottest chick in school. To me anyway. You know what? I'm gonna say hi to her today. I wish Fred wasn't sick today, my best bud would always back me up with courage. But I can do this. She's looking right at me. And she caught me looking at her. Oh no, she's coming over! Wait, that's a good thing, right? She's coming over! Ah man, did I brush my teeth today? Ofcourse I did. Think of something cool to say... Think, think... Now my brain doesn't want to work...

"Hey bonehead!" No. Of all times; Bulk wants to give me Hell now.

"Hey bonehead, you know what time it is? Time to give me lunch money!"

"Yeah, lunch money time, hahaha!"

Sometimes, I actually find a sense of beauty in Bulk and Skull's teamwork. Oh no, Sarah's here,

"Hi guys. Hey, Bobby."

She said my name... Wow. 'Hi guys'? Does she not know she just greeted Angle Groves biggest bullies? Oww!! Not another Bulk-headlock,

"Hey, Sarah; me and Skull were just having a chat about finances with Bobby here. Right, Bobby?"

He knows I can't speak when I'm stuck under his armpit. That's it. Right now is the time. A rush of energy surges as I push Bulk away from me. Aw great. Sarah's looking at me. Bulk and Skull are shocked, now's the time to tell them off! "I... I think you two are..."

(Alarm sounds)
"Attention students: a monster warning as been issued and you are all urged to seek shelter away from tall buildings."

Bulk and Skull are more excited than they should be,

"You know what this means, Skull? We can see... The Power Rangers! Let's go!"

They can get stepped on by some monster, I'm out of- Hey... Sarah's pulling me with her. Toward all the screams!! "Sarah, what are you..?"

"C'mon Bobby, think about it? We can see the Power Rangers! Please come with me; I don't wanna go alone."

How can I say no. Dispite the loud suggestion by our principle, we went to a two story building north of the Juice Bar. We ran, well she ran I tried to keep up, toward the entrance. She's so beautiful with her eyes widened and excited,

"If we can get to the top of this place, we can see the Rangers fight the monster with their robots!"

This is my specialty. You see when you sneak around and away from bullies all your life you develop special skills for staying out of sight. Now was my time to lead the way. I took her hand(!!!) and we snuck past security and personal. She must think I'm the coolest guy ever, because right now, for the first time, I do. We made it up a vacant flight of stairs and now the door to the...

(Wooosh)

"Bobby, look!"

Is that..? Wow, that pink Pterodactyl robot just flew past us!!

"Bobby, check out Bulk and Skull haha!"

Over the ledge I could see them. Running scared!! Wow! Aw man the monster's taking swings at those dinosaur machines.

"Isn't it exciting, Bobby?"

She's holding my hand now. Probably because of the intensity of the moment, but let me hold her hand back for affect. Wow, the robots are forming a bigger one.

"Let's cheer 'em on, Bobby! Go Rangers!"

I couldn't resist. "Go Power Rangers! Go, go Power Rangers! Yeah!!"

After earthquake causing body shots and a sword falling from the sky, the Power Rangers seem to have heard our cheerleading. They cut the beast down.

Walking Sarah home I can't help but wonder that 30 minutes ago I was a cowardly bookworm who couldn't say hi to Sarah Perterson. But after shoving Bulk off me, 'escorting' Sarah toward superheroes, and watching the action from a front row seat, I feel cooler than cool. I feel phenominal. Heck, more phenominal.

"Thanks for walking me home, Bobby. Maybe tomarrow we can do this again?"

"Hell yeah. I MEAN UM... ...Yeah sure."

"You're right, Bobby, hell yeah, hehe."

"Bye, Sarah."

"Bye Bobby, see ya tomarrow."

Wow. What a day. I gotta tell Billy about this, he'll never believe I saw the Power Rangers holding hands with Sarah Peterson. Heck, I hope monsters attack every week!

Definetly an intruiging idea. I think it needs to be expanded a bit though.

Nah, I wanted it to be a short story about some chap in the MMPRS1 era. I may have a new 'civilain tale' focused on a new character in a different era though.

Definitely. The spelling is crap as well the spacing. It's a good idea but it needs ALOT of tweaking, I mean ALOT.

Thanx for the honest view, but some people here have seen my best and would know a freehanded fic of mine from the hardcopies (stuff I put time on in my comp and not on a college comp). But this is just a little tale; it isn't TR or Hydro.

I have seen both. But even a little "tale" should go through spell check.
