My name is Kelli. Or at least, it is now. I mean it always was, it's just
spelled differently now. Wait, let me start over. See I used to be a guy,
but this weird thing went down, where my friends and I all gained these
super powers, and I switched genders, getting trapped in a girl's body.
My friends, Christian, Elliot, and I found this strange device, which we
used to become Power Rangers. Yeah, I know it sounds stupid, and it would
have been had one of our classmates not used it first to become a witch.
Yeah, I know, it sounds real bad, but Alyssa Devonshire did just that,
she became a witch, and tried to take over the school, and thankfully we
were there to stop it.
"Kelli?" said my mother, "are you listening to me?"
"What?" I asked, snapping back to reality. I was sitting in our car on
the way back from the mall after our recent shopping expedition.
Thankfully, shortly after we defeated Alyssa, we were approached by a
special group, which dealt with other people who had used this device to
change people. They helped me out especially by explaining to my parents
what had happened to me, and that was the only reason why I was now
sitting here, well that, and the chance to score some clothes.
I know what you're thinking. Why am I into clothes? Well you see there
was kinda this thing that happened. I was subjected to mind control by
Alyssa, and she put some thoughts into my head that I would not normally
think. She also tried to turn me against my friends, and though Christian
helped snap me out of it, there were some side effects since the spell
didn't cancel out normally the way it seemed to with the rest of the
school. A love for good looking clothes was just one, among other things.
I got into nails and hair, and looking good. My mother was more than
happy to have these changes in me, because it meant she could have the
little girl she always wanted, and my dad was sort of horrified. I was an
only child, so this meant that I didn't have any brothers to take up the
family name. The old me was still here too though, I was still into
techno music, and I still composed stuff every now and then, and of
course I still had my friends.
"I was saying, maybe you should try out for the cheerleading squad?" my
mother piped in.
"What?" I asked, shocked, "Mom! No!"
"I'm just saying honey," she said. "It'll look good on your transcript,
you don't have that many clubs on there as it is, and college is just
around the corner."
"I'm not going to be a cheerleader," I told her.
"You'd love it, and you get to wear that uniform," she said, as we pulled
into our driveway.
"I'm not going to be a cheerleader," I said, unbuckling my belt, and
grabbing some of the bags. I got out of the car, and headed to the door.
Opening it, I stepped inside, and headed for my room up the stairs.
"Kelli Marie Parker!" my mother called after me. I turned around to face
her, confused as to why I had a different middle name.
"Mom?" I shouted shocked. "You changed my middle name?"
"Nonsense," she said, "it would have been your middle name if you were
born a girl."
"Ugggh," I yelled giving up, and heading up to my room. I threw my bags
down on my bed, and looked around. I walked over to my mirror, and gazed
into it. My new reflection stared back at me, and though I was no
comfortable with who I was now, at least somewhat, there was still a part
of me in the back of my mind that was not used to seeing this. I was now
five foot five, which was a change from my six foot even before. My build
was slim, and smaller. My feet had shrunk in size, and were now smaller,
sporting pink nail polish, and black sandals. My legs had gone from being
sticks, to shapely and curvy, wrapped in tight jeans that went all the
way up to my wider hips, and tight waist. My torso was adorned with a
white tank top that stopped just above my belly button. It clung to my
small, but pert B-Cup breasts, and two straps came up over my shoulders,
disguising the bra straps underneath. My face was practically angelic, a
cross between Sarah Michelle Gellar, and Jessica Simpson. My curly auburn
hair was tied up behind me, revealing the soft tan skin of my neck. My
arms were bare, down to my small feminine hands with the same pink polish
that was on my toenails.
Like I said I was comfortable about the way I looked, I mean I was pretty
cute, and my body was in good shape. I started putting some of my new
purchases away, and at the same time listened to some of my favorite
tracks from the different artists I was into. It hadn't been five minutes
when I barely heard my mother shouting for me. I had a phone call, and
went down the hall to grab the wireless receiver.
"Thanks mom," I called down to her, before entering my room, and shutting
the door behind me.
"Hello?" I asked softly.
"Hey Kel," came Christian's voice from the other end. "What's up?"
"Oh, nothing much," I said. "We just got back from the mall."
"Not another shopping trip!" he exclaimed. I had made the mistake a week
ago to bring Christian along with me, which was sort of funny from my
end, because everyone kept thinking he was my boyfriend, especially since
I made him hold all my bags, claiming it was my right as a girl. He
merely rolled his eyes at that one.
"Yeah," I said, "I needed a few more things."
"You mean the things you couldn't get with me watching?" he ventured.
"Oh yeah," I said teasing him, "you know, the lingerie, the see-through
stuff, and the string bikinis."
He caught on, but replied, "You know, one day you're going to be
serious."
"Yeah, sure," I said. "So what's up?"
"Elliot and I are thinking about going cruising later tonight," he told
me. "You in?"
Christian was a big car guy, even though he was only a junior in high
school. He spent most of his life driving something, starting off at an
early age by driving go-carts. The two summers before he got his license,
he worked real hard to earn enough money to by himself his own car, and
his dad knowing how much he was into it, doubled what ever he made. He
managed to score this mid-nineties Mitsubishi Eclipse, that he dumped a
lot of money into, upgrading it and everything. I thought cars were nice,
but I was more into sound systems because of my music interests, and made
sure he bought the right stuff when he did that part of his car.
"Sounds cool," I said. "But promise me you're not just trying to stage me
as the hot chick in the car."
"I have no idea what you're talking about," he teased.
"Yeah, right," I said. "When are you heading out?"
"We're actually right down the street," he replied.
"What?" I asked. "I don't have enough time to get ready. Why don't you
take another lap around while I get changed."
"A lap?" he asked. "Elliot and I could take in a movie in the time it
takes you to get changed."
"Very funny, just take another lap, and come get me," I said.
"Fine," he said defeated. I hung up the phone, and looked towards my
closet.
The light turned green, and I dropped the clutch, sending my pride and
joy straight down the road to sixty miles an hour in a little under six
and half seconds. My name is Christian, and at the moment, my friend
Elliot and I are shooting down the road to our friend Kelli's house to
pick her up. I was driving my silver '97 Mitsubishi Eclipse GSX, which
sported a little extra work, though you wouldn't know it from the look.
The exterior was the same silver she rolled off the lot with, as well as
the same body. I didn't go for any kind of ground effects, because most
of them looked pretty shoddy. The only hints that it was deeper then what
it was, were the O.Z. racing wheels taken off the later models, the lower
springs, and the real racing exhaust hiding behind the rear apron. No it
wasn't that coffee can you're so used to seeing, it was a real custom
exhaust. Under the hood was a different question as it was completely,
not stock. The stock turbo had been replaced by a bigger Greddy Turbo
that forced more power into the engine, along with the new HKS
intercooler I had put on just last week. The turbo made its presence
known by the blow-off valve that expelled the excess boost every time I
let off the throttle. New headers, and cams helped the translation of
power to the clutch, which was a strict racing clutch. Inside, the
interior was pretty much the same, except for the two Corbeau racing
seats in the front, which matched the stock leather of the rear two
seats. The stereo head was after market, and pumped the music through the
speakers of the car, fed from an amp nestled safely in the trunk. Next to
my new found ranger powers, my friends, and family, this car was my life.
Oh yeah, school fits in there somewhere.
Anyway, I was entering a residential zone, and slowed down some, so as
not to attract too much attention, especially from Law Enforcement
officials. I mean hey, we we're both on the same side and all, but they
might not get the whole Ranger thing. Elliot and I were into all kinds of
music, and of course Kelli had gotten us into techno because of her
passion for it, but anticipating the rush of it from DJ Kel when she got
in, we decided to listen to some stuff on the radio for a change.
We pulled up to another stop light in the middle of suburbia, and I
looked over to the car to the left of me. It was some punk with his Honda
Civic, who looked like he figured out how to attach a body kit, but
missed the day in class where they taught you how to paint it. The car
didn't attract my attention though, his passenger did. She was a cute,
college aged blonde with just this sexy face. She turned towards me, and
smiled, and I smiled back. At just six foot, I was a decent size with my
average muscle build. I wasn't a Tom Cruise, but I had a few girls in my
time. I had wore my brown hair short, and at the moment was decked out in
a black buttoned down shirt, and a pair of khaki pants, and a pair of
Oakley Juliets.
Her boy friend caught me looking, and revved his engine at me. I turned
to Elliot, and smiled. Elliot was Asian-American, and at a little under
six foot, his slightly less than average build made him somewhat smaller
than most guys. He made up for it though with having a great sense of
humor, and currently managed to nab a pretty cool girl because of it. He
was clad in jeans, sneakers and a gray t-shirt, and a basic pair of
designer sunglasses. Smiling back at me, and then mustering up his best
Vin Diesel impression, he said, "Smoke him."
I revved back at the guy, my engine screaming, and my blow-off valve
quickly releasing the rush of excess boost pressure. His eyes went wide
when he heard the sound. The light turned green, and I dropped the clutch
shooting forward off the line, while the Civic sat and burned some tires
burning out. I quickly shot a few car lengths in front of him, and then
pulled out into his lane just as the lanes merged. I went full on the
brakes at the last moment, as we were about to zip by Kelli's house, and
shot into her driveway, throwing Elliot and I forward as I braked hard.
Elliot's head went slamming back into the seat.
"You had to do that," he asked, "didn't you?"
"I believe, you're the one who said, 'Smoke him," I reminded.
"That'll teach me to shut up," he said, although there was a slim chance
of that. We got out of the car, and I turned to watch as the fading sun
began to set behind the houses of this neighborhood. I lived right down
the street, but Elliot and I had come from his house, which was a little
further away. We walked up to the door, and rang the bell. As we stood on
the stoop, I turned to Elliot.
"So, Kelli's been taking this change pretty well," I said.
"Yeah," he said, "she's finally stopped trying to kill me."
"Don't you think it's a little weird?" I asked him.
"Yeah, I was getting used to the death glare," he replied.
"You know what I mean," I replied, shaking my head.
"Well, Alyssa did a number on her mind," he said. "Maybe some of the
stuff she said got stuck behind, and that's why the transition was
easier. Or..."
"Or what?" I asked, but was interrupted as the door opened revealing Mrs.
Parker.
"Hey Chris, hey Elliot," she said, smiling as she showed us in. "Kelli
will be right down." She turned towards the staircase, and yelled up,
"Kelli, you're friends are here."
"Thanks Mrs. P," I said. Elliot and I both turned as we heard footsteps
on the staircase, and saw Kelli coming down the stairs. She was wearing a
soft pink long sleeve top, and a pair of jeans, and sneakers. I smiled as
she came down the stairs, thinking about how nice she looked. Don't get
me wrong, I mean Kelli was my friend, and I didn't know if I could ever
be into her, since she used to be a guy, but she did look really good as
a girl, and there was something about her that always made me smile about
the way she looked, especially when she smiled at me. There was just this
something.
"Hey Kel," said Elliot from behind me. "What's up?" She regarded him
dryly for a second, almost like she was mad at him, but there was a
certain quirk in her look that you could tell she was just having a
little fun with him.
"So nice of you to check up on your creation," she teased.
"Well," he replied, not one to be the butt of a joke, "you're still a
blossoming young woman, and I wanted to make sure any future changes were
well documented."
"Too bad you won't get to see ANY of those future changes," she replied,
turning towards me, and smiling.
"Are you two done yet?" I asked, interceding as part of my leader duty.
It was strange thinking that three of us were people with extraordinary,
super heroic powers used to save the world. The only indication of that
at the moment were wristbands that were wrapped around our left wrists:
mine was red; Elliot's blue; and Kelli's was yellow. "Don't make me put
you in Ranger time out."
"Ooo," said Elliot. "What are you going to do make us do push-ups?"
"Sucks for you," said Kelli. "I get to do them girl style now."
"That's what you think," I told her.
"Maybe we'll have to laps around the rec field," said Kelli, not missing
her chance to get in a few more good shots.
"Alright," I said, trying for crowd control. "Let's get to the car." I
managed to herd them out to the car, with Kelli and Elliot both fighting
for shotgun, until Kelli managed to somehow trick Elliot into the back
seat, and dropped herself into the passenger seat. As we buckled our
belts on, I turned towards her, and she had this evil look on her face.
"What?" I asked.
"I've got a new CD for us," she said, popping into my CD player. As
expected it was more techno, which we listened to as we cruised along.
It was an hour into it, when we started talking about what was next. The
main subject was of course, what could happen next, while Alyssa was
still out there.
"I mean," said Elliot. "She's out there somewhere, and she's still got a
lot of power to throw around. There's no telling what she'll do next."
"I don't think she'll go after the school again," said Kelli. "She must
know we'll be watching for that, and it'll be harder than before."
"Do you think she can still mind control us?" I asked everyone.
"I don't know," said Elliot. "If she could, wouldn't she have tried to
take the school again?"
"Maybe the shot I got her with took a lot out of her," I said. "Maybe
she's weaker now."
"Maybe she's sitting in a dark room right now plotting her revenge," said
Kelli, shrugging. "The fact of the matter is, we just don't know."
"What about this secret agency of ours?" asked Elliot. "Can't they help?"
"They're busy trying to track down those MATs, or whatever acronym their
using," I told him.
"They're MAUs, and so far they've only been able to recover a few,"
reported Kelli. "And no, they'll lend us aid, in trying to stop Alyssa,
but they're just as powerless when it comes to finding her as we are." We
all returned to silence for a moment before Kelli echoed in her final
thought. "It's only a matter of time though."
My name is Jesse. Growing up is never easy for anyone especially some
people. For me it's a little bit harder. You see I'm gay, something I've
known all my life, but at the same time I'm Hispanic, a culture known for
its men being quite macho. At sixteen, I wasn't the most macho guy in the
world. Still relatively short, I stood at only five foot seven, and my
facial hair still hadn't begun to grow. That wasn't very distressing to
me, because I like to stay neat and look good. I was very proud of the
fact that I was quite attractive, having dark black hair, and the darker
skin, which is common. What I had trouble with, more than anything was
the fact that I was into this really hansom guy, Paul, who was the
quarterback for the school's football team. Of course, he wasn't gay, but
that still didn't stop me from being totally into him. He was extremely
attractive, probably why he got so many girls. His last girlfriend had
been Alyssa Devonshire who had recently disappeared, and while it was a
little bit weird that she was missing, many people, mostly girls, saw
this as their opportunity to finally net Paul. I for one was among them,
but of course I was a guy.
My family wasn't open to the idea of my sexual orientation either, so
they didn't know my true feelings, so I spent most of my time pretending
to be the macho Latino guy I was supposed to be, but secretly retiring
every now and again to my fantasies. I had been with a few guys, in
secret, but nothing really major, after all I am pretty young still.
I stood at my locker, just down the hall from Paul's, who was a senior,
so as a sophomore he barely noticed me. I watched him a lot of the time,
and I knew the kind of girl he was into. The dumb blonde bimbos more than
anything, with large breasts, and the to-die-for figures. I honestly
could not see what the rest of my sex saw in them, they were just stupid
people. His favorites were always the ones who sported the most
attractive clothes, those that were revealing, and form-fitting. The
exception had always been Alyssa who had dressed modestly, and
conservatively, the majority of the time, and was smarter than most the
girls in the school. This turn of events had made me feel better, knowing
that Paul could appreciate someone who was intelligent.
I heard a locker slam beside me, and turned to see who it was.
"Oh hey Jesse," said Elliot Kim, this Asian guy who I went to school
with. He was a grade ahead of me, but was pretty nice to me.
"Hey Elliot," I said to him. "How's it going?"
"Alright," he said. "You have a good weekend?"
"Yeah," I replied. "Took a girl to the movies, almost made it to third."
"Nice," he said, smirking. "You've done well Padawan, soon the trials of
the Jedi shall be upon you."
"Very funny," he said. I looked down and saw that he was wearing the same
blue wristband he had been wearing for a while now. It didn't match his
white shirt or pants at all.
"So I've been meaning to ask," I said. "What's the deal with the
wristband?"
"Uh," he said. "Aimee gave it to me. She wants me to wear it always to
remind me of her." It sounded like he was making up the response on the
fly, so I guess the real reason was something else. I knew he was seeing
this girl in college and all, but I always suspected that he was probably
gay, though I never said anything about it, trying not to blow my cover.
I just nodded at him, and closed my locker.
"Well I have to go to class," I told him.
"Later," he told me, and headed off in the opposite direction.
Class was dull and boring as usual, so as soon as I finished all of them
for the day, I went home, hoping to maybe just chill and relax for a
little while. I walked home, which was set in a more crowded neighborhood
than most of the kids in the school. It wasn't the projects or anything,
and there weren't any gangs, but it still wasn't like upper-middle class.
It was mostly like ranchers or homes with only small second floors.
Having three more siblings, two in front, and one behind, my house didn't
allow much for privacy. My route took me past the park, which I was
surprised to see was very empty. I saw a roped off section with caution
tape, and went over to investigate. As I got closer to it, I noticed
there was a giant hole. Maybe they were doing construction or something.
As I got near it though, it looked like something had hit the ground, and
hit it hard. I looked around, and once again finding myself alone, I
crawled into the crater. As I reached the bottom I looked around, hoping
to find some sort of meteor or something, but it looked like someone beat
me to it. I put my hand to the ground to see if it was still hot, but it
was cool to the sense, so I touched the ground, and as I pushed my hand
down, I felt something metallic. Using my fingers, I dug some of the lose
dirt away, and found a small metallic device buried a little deeper than
the dirt. It looked like some sort of electronic device, and I wondered
what the heck it was doing here. Maybe it was alien or something, or
maybe it was some military project. I grabbed the device, and checked
around to make sure I was alone. The thrill of finding something
mysterious sent excitement through my veins, and though I knew I should
probably leave it behind, I felt the urge to take it with me, and see
what it was. I climbed back out of the hole, and then took off, fleeing
with my new discovery. Whatever it was, maybe I could make some money off
it or something too.
I walked through the park on my way home, taking the long way, because I
wanted to listen to this new track I had downloaded last night. It was
called "The Other Side" by Paul Van Dyk, sort of a mixture between
classic techno, and alternative. The park was a beautiful place, and it
was kind of neat to see the trees, and the flowers. Techno always allowed
me to connect to nature more, I don't what to say, it was sort of like a
spiritual conduit or something. I adjusted the strap on my backpack, and
then flicked some of my long hair back. I had just cut it so it was only
to my shoulders, but it still managed to get in my way sometimes. When I
turned the corner on the main path, I saw a roped off section further
down, and my curiosity got to me, so I had to go over. I found a small
crater in the ground, and wondered what happened. My first thought was a
meteor. Then suddenly I thought maybe it was something else. Those men in
black who had helped us out told us that those devices that made us into
Rangers came from space. Maybe one of those crashed here. I stood staring
at the hole for a few minutes while the song played in my ears, wondering
if that could be it. I could see the bottom now, and there didn't look
like anything was there, maybe someone had already claimed the object
that crashed.
I was about to jump in to investigate when I heard a voice next to me.
"Hello Kelli," it said. I spun around, taking out one of my earbuds, and
nearly screamed when I saw who it was. Alyssa Devonshire stood before me,
and yet, it wasn't quite her. She looked older, like she was in her mid-
twenties or something, I barely recognized her, but it was probably part
of her magic that made her look older. She wore a black thick sweater,
and dark jeans, which went down to nice looking shoes which I saw on sale
the other day.
"What do you want?" I asked her, somewhat frightened.
"Aww, I thought we could catch up on our girl chat," she said. "You know
I've been gone for a while, and I thought you'd fill me in on all that
gossip, since were both just gals anyway. By the way, how is that been
going for you?"
I stared determinedly at her, trying to shake off my fear.
"Well you seem to be enjoying fashion," she said, commenting on my white
tank top with a flower stitched on the stomach area, and the form fitting
jeans that hugged my legs. "You hookup with any cute guys yet?"
"Whatever you're up to," I told her. "We'll stop you again."
"Me?" she asked innocently. "Up to something? Really, that's so high
school. I've moved on to other things." She turned her back to me, and
took a few steps away. "I'm beyond the whole taking over the school
thing."
"Great," I said, "maybe you should take up a few new hobbies then.
Somewhere else, far, far away."
She turned back to me, and a small grin covered her face. "But then we
couldn't catch up. Besides I have a gift for you."
"I don't want it," I said, taking a defensive stance. "Whatever it is,
you can keep it."
"Come now," she said. "Where are your manners?"
"Finishing school wasn't on the list," I told her.
"No matter, just catch," she told me. Casting her arm out, a ball of gold
light shot from her hand, and hit me head on, forcing me to the ground. I
landed on my back, and then quickly flipped back up on to my feet, but
she was gone. There was no trace of her at all. It was like she just
disappeared. I had to go tell the others.
So there I was, just another normal day in the life of the Red Ranger. I
was sitting on my bed, doing homework, math homework. I hate math. I was
trying to take the cosign of one side, and compare to the secant of
another triangle, when I heard a knock on my window. I turned to look,
and Kelli was standing there. She smiled at me, and instantly I felt
reassured that everything was going to be alright, I don't know what it
was about that smile, but it was a great feeling. She pushed several
strands of hair away from her face, as she waited in the window. I
crossed the room, and opened the window, taking her hand as she came in.
"You know," I told her. "You could just come in through the front door,
but if you want to keep flashing me money shoots of your cleavage like
that, I'm not going to demand it." She looked down at her top, and then
crossed her arms for a bit more of modesty, blushing.
"Listen, before you go off on your 'Kelli has boobs' rant," she started,
"I've got to talk to you." Her tone was serious enough for me to drop the
rant I had already prepared.
"What's up?" I asked her.
"Alyssa is back," she said looking me square in the eye, "and she's up to
something."
"What?" I asked her.
"I was just in the park, and she suddenly appeared, and she wanted to
talk, and then hit me with this ball of gold magic," she told me.
"Are you okay?" I asked her, concern for her safety.
"I'm fine," she said. "It hit me right here." She put her hands on her
stomach, and I placed my hand on her stomach checking to make sure
everything was alright. Something very weird happened then. I kept my
hand there, and for some reason I just didn't feel like taking it away.
She looked down at my hand, and then two of us looked up at each other.
It felt like the room was suddenly getting hotter, and as our eyes
connected I suddenly began to feel these deep urges of attraction.
"Kelli," I said. "Something weird is going on."
"Yeah," she said softly, wrapping one of her hands around the one I had
on her stomach. "Its like everything just suddenly changed. Weird is a
good word."
"Yeah," I said, my breathing become heavier, and I began to feel arousal
building within me. She took my hand, and slowly like she was in a
trance, placed it to her cheek. She let go, and slowly, I rubbed her soft
cheek. She rubbed her face up against my hand, her eyes closing in
comfort. "I think she hit you with some kind of spell."
She opened her eyes, and the look of innocence was slowly fading and
being replaced with something else, almost like mischief. "You mean like
a love spell?" I continued to stroke her cheek, and slowly, she came in
closer, her hands, almost beyond her control moving up my chest, and
wrapping around my neck.
"Yeah," I said, my free hand wrapping around her waist, and pulling her
closer to me. I could feel her against me, aroused and tense, her body
aching, and ready to go, and she could feel me, much the same. I traced
one of my fingers over her red, moist lip, and her eyes followed it
softly, before her gaze, which had now become lust met mine.
"That bitch," she said softly, and then her lips came in and met mine.
Yup, just another normal day in the life of the Red Ranger.
When I got home, I found the house surprisingly empty and a note on the
fridge that told me everyone would be back for dinner. This was great
since now I could indulge in my fantasies, and check out my discovery. I
brought the device into my room, and set it down on my floor on a towel,
and slowly cleaned it off. The object was the same size as a laptop, and
on one side was a large button. Seeing nothing else, I carefully pressed
the button. I could feel the device slowly coming to life, and as it
began to open and spread out, I backed up onto my bed. Slowly the device
grew in size until it was the size of a full wardrobe, and part of it
expended to far, putting a small hole in my wall. My mother was so going
to kill me. All in all though it stood a little bit taller than me, and
the construction was more amazing than anything I had ever seen. There
was what seemed like a large closet in the center, and to the side of it
was what looked like a computer screen or something.
Still sitting on my bed, slowly I got up, and moved towards it
cautiously, expecting the worst. Instantly every horror movie began to
flood threw me, and I expect aliens to come pouring out of the doorway
which had just been created, but nothing happened. I looked at the
screen, and noticed a purple pad below it. The screen was blank, but had
a blue glow to it. Slowly I touched the screen but nothing happened, the
machine just sat there and hummed.
"What the hell is this?" I wondered. I looked over the machine looking
for some kind of words or writing I'd understand, but I only found some
strange glyphs and what not. Slowly I came back to the purple bad, and
touched it. Nothing happened at first, so I took my hand away, but then I
touched it again thinking about how much trouble I was going to be in.
Slowly the screen changed, and a three-dimensional image of me came up. I
pulled my hand away, and looked at the screen again. Was it triggered by
my touch? Was it planning on making clones of me that were evil and going
to take over the world? Or was it something else? I touched the pad
again, and when nothing happened I thought about the hole in the wall,
and wondered how long it would be before mom got home, and smacked my
face off. The image changed, and suddenly my form had no face. I pulled
my hand back, and touched my face, confirming that everything on my face
was still there.
I took a deep breath, and then put two and two together. It worked on my
thoughts, all I had to do was think about something, or someone and it
appeared on the screen. I put my hand back on the pad, and thought about
myself again, my face returning to its normal look, but then I thought
about how great it would be if I was a little bit taller, and on the
screen I got a little taller, and then I added more muscle mass, and
chiseled my facial features more. To put the icing on the cake I gave
myself a nice size penis. I chuckled to myself, wanting to see Paul turn
that down, knowing all to well he would. I looked over at the booth
inside the machine, and stepped inside, inspecting it. The doors closed
behind me, and I realized that I made a big mistake. I tried opening the
doors but they wouldn't open, so I looked around for a latch, or a button
or something that would open them. Turning back around, I noticed a large
purple button, glowing in the darkness. I pressed the button, and there
was this bright purple flash, and the doors opened. I stepped out, and
was relieved to still be in my room, and not some weird alien planet, but
everything looked smaller. I looked down and noticed how radically my
body had changed. I looked just like I had imagined on the screen, taller
and everything.
"Man this is awesome!" I exclaimed to no one in particular, just pleased
with my discovery. With this machine I could transform into anyone. Then
it hit me. With this machine I could finally get Paul.
I walked over to the machine, and placed my hand on the pad, and thought
about my normal appearance. The image was replaced my normal image, and
for a moment I sat and thought. Paul would never go for a guy, no matter
how attractive he was, he only went for girls. That meant I had to be a
girl then. Did I want to be a girl? I mean I liked being a guy, and I was
even proud to be a gay guy, but I really wanted Paul, and it wasn't like
I couldn't change back later. A secret identity would be pretty cool,
almost like a superhero. After all, all that really mattered was whether
or not I had Paul, and I could get other guys as well, who might not
normally swing my way. I looked back at the screen, and thought about
myself as a girl. I started with the face, and the screen zoomed into my
face. I wanted to look similar, but did some small cosmetic work. My
cheekbones pushed out, and my lips became poutier. I made my eyes larger,
and gave myself long eyelashes, while the eyebrows thinned out. Then
instead of my normal short-slicked back hair, I let it grow out wild, and
wavy like Catherine Zeta Jones. I thought about the way my sisters looked
and gave myself the big hoop earrings, and then put a small mole on my
right cheek just above the lip, a beauty mark.
Pulling out back to my normal body, it looked kind of weird, so I
stripped away my clothes in the picture, leaving me naked with my body,
and a the head of a girl. My hair fell to the middle of my back. I
narrowed my shoulders first, and while I was proud of my build on my
arms, I thinned it out some, making it more feminine, but leaving it
still strong. The hair on my arms disappeared after that, and then my
hands became smaller, my fingers more slender, the nails on each tip
growing slightly. Next my torso narrowed. I knew Paul liked girls with
large breasts, so I decided to cash in on that, and made the image sport
a very large rack as it was sometimes referred to. Moving down my body, I
thinned out my waist, and pushed the hips out, nice and wide just like
every other Hispanic girl, and who could forget the amazing bottom that
even I respected. The reproductive organs reversed themselves, and my
proud manhood was replaced with a new womanhood. I made the legs nice and
long, keeping my height the same. On the screen was definitely a knockout
as far as girls go. I'd dare Paul to keep his hands off her. Wondering
what else the machine could do, I decided that she needed some nice
clothes. I went for a pair of two inch black pumps, and black dress that
revealed a good deal of cleavage, and ended right above the knee. Content
with the result, I decided to give it a shot. Hoping for a little bit of
luck, I thought above having all the skills, and mannerisms that a girl
would need, and stepped inside. I pressed the button, and again the
chamber filled with purple light.
My back was against his mattress, and slowly I could feel his weight on
top of me, as he leaned in and kissed my neck. I let him without
resistance, and part of me wanted him to go further, while part of me was
completely freaked out that my best friend was showering my body with
kisses, and for some reason it felt so good. For the last several minutes
our lips were locked together, and then we moved to the bed, and I lying
down received a barrage of kisses to different parts of my body.
Thankfully are clothes were still on, but for how much longer, I didn't
know. I hope it wasn't too much longer.
Er, I mean, just that the spell was sort of forcing me to do this, not
that I would, even though Christian was really cute, and his eyes were so
penetrating, and I wanted him so much right now. This just wasn't fair.
Why did all this shit have to keep happening to me? Slowly his hands
found their way under my shirt, and they were slowly working their way up
to my chest.
"Your hair," he said, in between kisses.
"What about it?" I breathed seductively.
"Its different," he managed to get out. I turned my head to the side
slowly exhaling with pleasure, and pulled a strand of hair to look at it.
It was still its rich auburn, but some of it had blonde highlights as
well.
"Don't tell me the spell is changing me too," I said, and then almost let
out a moan of pleasure as he reached my two soft mounds. Slowly he
kneaded my breasts, and it felt amazing. This was great, and I didn't
want him to stop. "I knew you like those the most."
"You bet," he breathed, and then kissed my lips again. I wrapped one of
my hands around his head, and pulled him in close to me. His hands left
my chest, much to my disappointment, but slowly he began to unbuckle my
pants. "I really can't stop myself."
"Me neither," I said, slowly reaching down with my freehand, and pulling
at his shirt. He stopped what he was doing, and slowly pulled it off, and
noticed instantly that his build was a bit more defined. "Looks like I'm
the not only with the short end of the stick."
He looked down and smiled, "I didn't know you were into guys now." Slowly
he peeled my pants of me, and I smiled at him, as he climbed back on top
of me. Suddenly it felt like my bra was pinching me, so I sat up, and
pulled my top off. Glancing down I noticed that my breasts were
practically pouring out of the bra, probably why it felt so tight.
Christian's lips met mine, and then went to my neck, as his hands slowly
reached around behind me, unclasping my bra, and freeing my large breasts
from confinement. Sitting there topless, he pushed me back onto the bed,
my head resting on one of his pillows. Smiling like an idiot, I pulled
him closer, and slowly his lips started at my neck, and worked their way
down.
"Man this sucks," I thought, as I rode by bike over to Christian's house.
"He totally forgot about the project we had due for biology tomorrow."
Getting to his house, I dropped my bike on his lawn like always, and
walked up to the door. Knocking, his mother answered the door, Mrs.
Henderson. She informed me that Christian was upstairs studying.
"Don't the two of you have that project due tomorrow?" she asked.
"Yeah," I replied. "I tried calling him, but he didn't answer."
"Maybe he fell asleep," she told me. "Maybe I should go wake him up."
"No," I told her. "I'll handle it."
"Alright," she said. "Dinner is in a little bit, if you're hungry."
"Oo! Meatloaf?" I asked her.
"Of course Elliot, it is Tuesday," she replied. Mrs. H made killer
meatloaf. Slowly I made my way up the stairs to Christian's room. I
knocked, but not waiting for a response, entered anyway. Immediately, I
wished I had followed that custom.
"Oh my god," I said practically laughing. Christian was on top of someone
in his bed, the sheets pulled over their two bodies, and it was quite
clear, especially with the strewn clothes about, what they were engaged
in. "I'm sorry dude, I'll leave."
"No wait," he said, his breathing heavily.
"What, you want me to watch?" I asked him.
"No," he said. "Help us."
"Dude," I told him. "That's pretty kinky."
"Elliot!" I heard a familiar feminine voice scream. I took two steps to
the right, and almost broke out in embarrassment, and shock, shielding it
with laughter.
"Oh my god, Kelli?" I asked. She looked a little different, her normal
curly hair had straightened out, and taken on blond highlights, and then
I noticed, as I tilted my head, that the sheet wasn't exactly covering
everything.
"If you don't look away," she told me. "I will kill you." Convincing
enough for me, I turned around.
"So uh, what's up guys?" I asked with a chuckle.
"Alyssa's back," said Christian.
"So you guys decided to commerate her return by..." I started, but got
cut off.
"It's a spell," said Kelli, who then muffled a moan of pleasure. I almost
broke out laughing, I mean come on, having your two friends screwing
literally behind your back, and trying to explain something to you is
pretty funny, especially since one of them used to be a guy.
"So," I said, stifling a chuckle, "its some come kind of love spell."
"Yeah," said Christian. "You have to find a way to reverse it." Me, how
did they expect me to figure this one out on my own.
"Any thoughts on how?" I asked.
"How bout kicking the shit out of Alyssa," suggested Kelli.
"Good idea, now if we could only find her," I said sarcastically.
"She looked older, college aged," said Kelli, who seemed quite out of
breath. I risked looking over my shoulder, but caught her glaring at me,
mid throw of passion I believe, and quickly faced forward.
"Well," I said. "I can go see if Aimee might know if they're any parties
tonight."
"Why don't you," suggested Kelli. I headed for the door.
"And Elliot," said Christian. "I don't know how much longer we can last."
I broke out in a full fit of laughter right then and there, and collapsed
on the floor in pure laughter for a few minutes, before finally regaining
my composure and stood up, wiping a tear of laughter from my eye.
"Elliot, I'm SO going to kill you," said Kelli.
"Right," I said. "Well I better find Alyssa so you can pull yourself away
to do that."
I stepped out of the room, trying real hard not to laugh again.
I stepped into the bar area of the club, where the music became more of a
dull roar. Smoothing out my dress as I sat down on one of the stools, I
turned to face the rest of the patrons, scanning for my intended target.
I had been fortunate enough to catch the eyes of several guys this
evening, some of which were pretty cute, and some that were sort of bland
and definitely not my style. Being a girl instead of guy had its perks,
especially when I looked like I did. I was enjoying myself extremely and
with the small buzz of booze I had in my system, thanks to a few guys who
didn't care about an age limit, I was feeling pretty good, and nice and
relaxed. Paul was still my intended target though, and I couldn't wait to
see his eyes pop out of his head when I came up to him.
I waited patiently at the bar for several moments, making idle
conversation with the girl next to me, who commented positively on my
wardrobe. I smiled, and thanked her, and when I turned the other way to
see if he had arrived, I was rewarded with the image of him leaning
towards the bartender. He was probably trying to use a fake ID to buy a
drink, but I bet with this lighting he could pass for twenty-one. I
excused myself, and slowly stalked my way over to him. Picking his two
drinks up from the counter, he turned around slowly, until he realized
something was blocking his path. Slowly he looked me over just like they
do in the movies, and when he got to my eyes, he froze for a moment. I
smiled at him, and I swear right then and there he almost dropped his
drinks.
"Hi there," I said softly.
"He...hey," he managed.
"What's your name?" I asked him softly, leaning in a little closer, my
cleavage becoming a little more accessible to his eyes.
He became a bit more confident, shrugging off his previous nervous
introduction, and smiled, "I'm Paul."
"Jess," I offered.
"That's a pretty name," he told me. I blushed; yeah he definitely was
getting his confidence back.
"Will you dance with me?" I almost begged, just wanting him to hold me in
his strong and powerful arms.
He looked like he was on the verge of saying yes, when a stray thought
popped into his head, "I'd love too, but I'm here with someone else." My
smile was slowly replaced with a look of lust, and copying a tactic I'd
seen girls use before, I slowly placed my hand on his chest, and moved in
closer.
"It's only one dance," I told him. He leaned his head in towards me,
mesmerized by my eyes, and my face, and just when I thought he was going
to make a move and kiss me, he managed to force out something that few
straight men ever do when presented with such an opportunity, self
control.
"I'm sorry," he said. "I really can't." I wasn't about to take no for an
answer, so I wrapped my hands around his face, and pulled my lips into
his, meeting them head on and forcing the issue. God did it feel good,
and yes he absolutely did drop his drinks, as his arms wrapped around my
waist. Self control can only hold out so long against a pretty face.
It was only a lapsed though as he pulled back, "I'm sorry, I can't do
this." He looked nervous, and then pushed past me, his drinks still lying
on the floor next to me. I stood there confused for a moment, trying to
figure out what was going on, and then suddenly, I felt a sharp pain on
my butt. I turned around and sitting at the bar was an older guy, who
reeked of signs of intoxication. He leered up to me, and then stood up,
quickly towering over me. Suddenly I was frightened, afraid of what he
might do.
"Excuse me," I said turning away, hoping to get out of there. I was
pulled back though as he wrapped his arm around my own. "Let go of me!" I
could feel the booze on his breath on my face.
"Easy there girl," he said. "I just want a taste." I tried to fight back
against him, but then I had made myself weaker with the machine. I
suddenly felt helpless, and scared that he was going to try something,
until someone decided to step in.
"Hey!" I heard across the room. Both of us turned, and my heart skipped a
beat, thinking maybe Paul came back. Instead a guy, probably in his mid
twenties stood in front of us. He had dark jet black hair, and a decent
build. His eyes were soft, and compassionate, and he almost reminded me
of David Boreanaz, even had a similar build. "I think the lady asked you
to leave her alone."
"And who do you think you are?" the guy asked, releasing me, and
stumbling over to him. "Mister Tough Guy?"
"You really don't want to mess with me," he replied. Instead of trying to
make a break for it though, I merely stood there and watched. Who was
this guy trying to save me?
"A badass huh?" said my assailant, "I know how to fix your kind." He
charged the newcomer burying his arms in his waist, and forcing my hero
into the wall. Pinned, my hero raised his arms, and brought it down on
the back of the bad guy, forcing him to the floor. He rolled away, and
tried to leg sweep my hero to the floor, but the hero was faster. It was
about this time though that the bouncers rushed in, and grabbed both
guys, as well as me and pulled us to different exits. Wondering what I
had got myself caught up into, I went peacefully with the bouncer and
left via a side entrance to an alley, along with the guy who tried to
save me. We both watched the door close behind us, and then turned and
looked at each other.
"Thanks," I told him. He just nodded at me, and then I heard a voice from
further down the alley.
"What's going on here?" it said. I turned and looked, and grin came over
my face. It was Elliot Kim of all people. "You two alright, I saw you
guys sort of forcibly pushed out, is everything alright?"
"Yeah," said the guy. "It's fine."
"That's an understatement," offered a new voice, this one having a very
disturbing quality to it. "Everything is far from okay."
I had been searching for any sign of Alyssa for the last few hours, but
neither hide nor hair had turned up anything. It was almost like she
didn't want to be found, which really was true, since she didn't want to
be found. Aimee had offered me a little information on what spots might
be popular, and it was on this visit to a club downtown that usually held
people my own age, that I was witness to a fight. This really wasted guy,
tried to pick on this really cute Hispanic girl that had tried to seduce
this guy Paul, which sounds like a plot for an episode of 90210 if you
think about it. For a moment, I thought, knowing that Paul used to be the
guy Alyssa was dating, that maybe that meant that she was here. Anyway,
this other guy stepped in to help this girl, and they got into this
brawl, and the whole group was thrown out. Something was strange about
this whole incident so I decided that maybe I should go out and check
everything out.
I found them in the alleyway after the bouncer had separated them.
"What's going on here?" I asked them, both of them looked a little shaken
up. "You two alright, I saw you guys sort of forcibly pushed out, is
everything alright?"
"Yeah," said the guy, who looked like an older college guy. "It's fine."
I turned to the girl, who had this smiled on her face, one of almost
humor, and irony, and I wondered what seemed so funny at the moment.
"That's an understatement," I heard a voice say behind me, a voice I knew
too well. I turned around to confirm my suspicions, and of course to my
not so surprise, there she stood, Alyssa Devonshire, the girl I had been
looking for all night, and I knew right there, that whatever was going to
happen, was going to suck. "Everything is far from okay."
I took a defensive stance almost on instinct, my blue wrist bland glowing
in the streetlight. My only hope initially was to put myself between
Alyssa, and these innocent people behind me. "What do you want Alyssa?"
"Well look at the crowd we have here," she mocked. "An assortment of
people I ALL have business with. The slut who thinks she can make a move
on my boyfriend, the guy that's a total pain in my ass, and of all
people, my dear brother." Considering I was neither her brother, nor a
slut that was trying to get with her guy, that meant I must be the pain
the ass, but then that meant that the guy standing behind me was none
other than Alyssa's brother. "David, what do I owe the honor?"
"I've been looking for you Alyssa," he said. "Mom and Dad have been
worried about you, where have you been?" She laughed manically at that,
almost like all villains do, but I have to admit there was an almost sexy
quality to it.
"She's been trying to take over the world dude," I answered for her. "And
now she's here to cause some hurt."
"Wait, did you just call me a slut?" said the girl behind me. "I'll have
you know, I am not a slut." I tried to ignore it, focusing on Alyssa.
"He's right you know," Alyssa said to her brother. "I'm trying to take
over the world, and this shadow of Peter Pan in front of me, and his
ragtag group of heroes has been trying to stop me. By the way, how is
Kelli these days?"
"Last time I checked, she seemed to be enjoying herself," I replied
sarcastically.
"Good, I thought she needed a little release from her inhibitions,"
replied Alyssa. "Probably will do her a world of good."
"What's going on here?" asked David.
"I'd say this one of those traditional standoffs between a hero, and a
villain," I remarked. "Battle to ensure."
"Because if anyone is a slut here," said the girl, "it would be you Ms.
Devonshire."
"My sister is not a villain, or a slut." stated David loudly.
"News flash," I responded, my stare still straight ahead. "She's a witch,
and I don't mean Glendia, or Willow, but a bonafide Wicked Witch of the
West, complete with flying monkeys. Why do you think she looks older?
She's got evil magic inside of her."
"Witch?" asked the girl. "Don't you mean bitch."
"That's impossible," said David.
"Not really," said Alyssa. "I don't have flying monkeys though, just
these guys." Bolts of lightning shot from her hands, and struck the
ground, and then four figures began to emerge from the ground, forming
into large rock golems. "If you ask me, they probably hit a lot harder
than a flying monkey."
The girl behind me shrieked, and David let out a cry of surprise, taking
his lord's name in vain. Me on the other, I was sort of surprised myself,
but knew something like this was going to happen sooner or later.
"Ta-ta for now," said Alyssa, who disappeared in a puff of smoke.
"What the hell are those things?" shouted the girl in shock.
"I don't know," I replied, twisting my wrist, revealing my own special
effects.
"What we do now?" asked David.
"Time for my own special effects," I shouted back. "Ranger Armor, Go!" I
activated my morpher, and a short animated scene later, stood before
these rock creatures in full Blue Ranger Armor. "You guys stay back," I
told them, as I brandished my side arm. "I'll handle these guys."
"Oh my god," said the girl. I charged the first creature in front of me,
and landed a kick on his chest, or at least I assumed it was his chest,
and a he, and it forced him back only slightly. Yeah these guys were
going to be a little more difficult than those football players. Once he
was further back, I leveled my blaster and fired, the shots leaving two
small craters in his chest.
"This REALLY isn't going to be easy," I remarked. "You guys get out of
here!" David grabbed the girl by the arm, and started to pull her away
from the scene. I turned my attention back to the creature in front of
me, and started attacking it again. It threw a punch at me, as did his
comrades, and all of them landed a blow at once, sending me flying down
the alleyway. I landed on my stomach, and then forced myself up. The
golems charged at me, the image of which was somewhat intimidating. I
took aim at one of there heads, and fired, the bolt racing down the
alleyway, and slamming into the head of the creature, snapping it off.
The remaining body then crumbled to dust in the alleyway, but leaving me
with three more just like it. Well, at least I knew what to do now. One
of them hit me head on, and forced me to the ground, and let me tell you,
having that much stone on top of you hurts. Just when I thought I was
going to be smothered in rock, my breath being forced out of my lungs,
the weight was suddenly gone, as one of the creatures rolled off of me. I
looked up to see a blunt wooden object over my head, and offered hand. It
was David, who helped me back up to my feet, he had struck the golem in
hits head, hard enough to destroy it, which only left two. I turned to
see the girl throwing cans, and stones at the two remaining golems. I
turned quickly, my sides erupting with pain as I did so, but I focused
slowly, and clipped off a shot, taking another golem down, and then
pausing just as it was about to reach for her, fired again, turning the
last one to dust. I took a deep breath, glad to be done with it. David
turned to me, and nodded thankfully. The girl came over to the two of us,
and smiled, glad to finally be safe.
"Elliot Kim," she said, and I was shocked she knew who I was, since I had
no clue who this beautiful girl in front of me was. "You never told me
you were a Power Ranger."
"Power Down," I said, my Ranger armor leaving my body, and leaving me as
I normally appear. "Do I know you?"
She smiled at me, a smile I'm sure had melted many a man's heart before,
but there was something about her that seemed familiar. "I'm not
surprised you don't recognize me. I've changed a little."
"Who are you?" I asked her, still quite confused.
She came in close, and whispered in my ear, so that David couldn't over
hear. "It's Jesse Santos." I turned to look at her, thinking she was
crazy. I only knew one person named Jesse Santos, and he was a guy, a
very macho Hispanic guy.
"Jess?" I asked her. She merely nodded, quite pleased with herself. "What
do you think?" No, there's no way this could be him, no way in hell,
there was no way that a guy would suddenly turn into a girl like this, it
was impossible, it was unthinkable! Oh wait, didn't that just happen to
Kelli! Shit! You would think I would have been more open minded,
especially since there were devices that could...
"Holy shit," I told her, as it suddenly dawned me. "Did a machine do this
to you?"
"Yeah," she said surprised. "How did you know?"
"Do you still have it?" I asked her, hoping that maybe Kelli's cure, as
well as everyone else's who was affected by that thing was in sight.
"Yeah," she said. "At my house."
"We need to go get it," I told her. "Now."
"What's the big deal?" she asked me.
"Someone's future may rest in the balance."
This was beyond bizarre, this was crazy, there is no way something like
this could ever happen. How does a guy just walk into something like
this? My name is David, David Devonshire, and I used to be a normal guy,
until like ten minutes ago, when the very floodgates of hell broke loose,
and the world of weird came crashing down on everything I had. I had just
witnessed, and even participated in a battle between a Power Ranger, and
a bunch of rock monsters. No, I'm not an actor, it really happened.
What's even weirder is that my own sister, Alyssa, was the one that sent
them against us.
Let me back up some. I'm in my second year of college, and thankfully,
it's a lot easier than the first. My little sister, who was a senior in
high school, had started changing over the summer, getting into all these
weird things, and weird groups. Mom said she was just going through a
phase, and her interest in witchcraft and all was just normal, that
nothing would come about because of it. I thought she had just had a
rough time with a guy, and now she was sort of acting out because of it,
but whatever the reason, she had changed. Recently though, she had up and
vanished, and my parents and I were very concerned. Mom had all kinds of
theories, even suggesting she may have become involved with a cult or
something, and now she was lying dead somewhere in a mass suicide. Dad
thought her boyfriend had gotten her pregnant, and they had run off
somewhere to get married, and start a new life. My parents may be
eccentric at times, but they still loved us, and no matter where Alyssa
was, they were worried about her, and wanted to know where she was.
I came back from college when she had first disappeared, and now I spent
my nights trying to track her down. I had rumors that she had been
around, but had no idea where to start, but slowly things started to
piece together, until it seemed there was always one other person that
was around when she was, her boyfriend Paul. There had to be some kind of
link. I had followed Paul to the club that night, hoping to have some
success, and I stood in the crowd, watching him, I saw another girl, try
to hook up with him. The girl was quite attractive, her Latin heritage
very clear in her face, and the curvature of her structure, she even
reminded me of Catherine Zeta Jones, the way her hair looked on her
frame, and her breasts, and ass were just spectacular. Paul apparently
wasn't into her, and quickly left, and as I was about to follow him, the
girl was accosted by an asshole sitting at the bar. He tried to grab her,
and force himself upon her when I intervened, the rest, I think you know
already.
I stood now, in a house that belonged to this girl, Jess, in her bedroom
no less. We had snuck in, and even though I could hear the movement of
people in the house, I was fairly certain no one else knew we were here.
Before us stood this strange machine though, what purposed it served, I
had no idea. I looked over at this guy named Elliot, who only a short
time before had saved Jess and me from the rock creatures. He was
stronger then he looked I'll give him that.
"So why is thing so important?" I asked him, curious to his intent with
it.
He looked it over carefully, a grin spread across his lips, "To fix a
mistake I made."
"Does it have anything to do with Alyssa," I wondered, thinking maybe he
had something to do with the way Alyssa was acting now.
"No," he said. "You see, I found one of these things a little while ago,
and me and my friends became Power Rangers, just for the fun of it."
"You mean there's more?" asked Jess.
"Yeah," he replied. "Christian and Kelli."
"The new girl?" she asked me.
"Not quite," he told us. "She used to be someone else, and when I turned
her into the Yellow Ranger, she became who she is now."
"Who did she used to be?" asked Jess.
"It's complicated, but similar to your situation," he told her. I wasn't
sure what that meant, but everything was too weird right now to really
worry about it.
"After she was changed, the machine stopped working," he said. "It seems
it only has a limited amount of uses per unit."
"How many more of these things are there?" I asked him.
"From what we can tell, hundreds, and many of them crashed here on Earth,
and caused a lot of strange things to happen," he said.
"Do you think one of these changed Alyssa into a witch," I asked him.
"Maybe, it could explain the location of the first one we found," he
said.
"So what happened after that?" asked Jess.
"Once we became Power Rangers though, Alyssa attacked the school, mind
controlling everyone into her personal slaves," he told us.
"I don't remember that," said Jess.
"Trust me," he told her. "She did. We've been in conflict with her ever
since, trying to stop her."
"Where are the other rangers now?" asked Jess.
"Well they're..." said Elliot, who stopped, and then it seemed a thought
popped into his head, and I thought he was going to freak out. "Oh shit,
I almost forgot. They're in trouble. Alyssa has them under a spell, and
they're trapped. That's why I was after her tonight; I need to get her to
reverse the spell."
"What kind of spell is it?" asked Jess, sitting down on her bed, crossing
her legs as she did. I let me stare linger on them for a moment, before I
turned my eyes back to Elliot.
"It's a...entrapment spell," he managed to squeak out. "I have to find a
way to undo it." He took a deep breath, and continued. "But if Alyssa has
those rock goons now, and knows I'm looking for her, I don't stand a
chance on my own." His eyes darted to the machine, and then to me, and
then finally turned to Jess. "Unless..."
"Unless what?" I asked him.
"Unless, I have help," he replied, a grin spreading across his face.
"What are you talking about?" I asked him.
"You want us to become Power Rangers, don't you?" asked Jess. He nodded
slowly at her, and then turned to me.
"What do you say?" he asked me.
"Are you nuts?" I told him. "How are we going to pull that off, we have
no training, no idea what were doing."
"I'm in," piped in Jess. "I know what that machine can do, no need to
worry about that."
"This is ridiculous," I told them both, turning away from them. But then
I stopped, and thought about it. As silly as it sounded, this was my way
to try and help Alyssa, get to her before she went nuts, and maybe find a
way to turn her back to normal. There's no telling what these guys would
do to her without me there. I sighed, and turned around to face them,
noticing that they were both staring at me. "Fine, I'm in too."
I have to say that David Devonshire is a pretty cute guy. I mean all
things considered, he had a nice frame, and good looks, and when he
smiled, the few times that he had all evening, its was wonderful. I think
it was safe to say as we rode in his car back towards the downtown area
later that night, that I was into him. To top it all off, he was wealthy
if the Porsche we were in was any indication. I sat comfortably in the
back seat, what little of it there was watching him from behind, as he
and Elliot planned out strategy. I was into him ever since the first
second he came to my rescue in the bar. Call me crazy, but it did mean
something to me, and it was attractive. I had a feeling he was into me,
because he had been stealing glances at me every now and then since we
had met, and even now while we were in the car, his eyes could be seen in
his rearview mirror locked on me. I kept the truth about me secret, with
only Elliot knowing for real, because I didn't want David to find out and
freak, so when I went back through the machine so Elliot could give us
our Ranger powers, I didn't change back. I stared down at the bracelet on
my wrist now, thinking about how it sort of clashed with everything else,
but at the same time, what it meant as far as what came next. Pink was an
okay color, of course David was the lucky one to get black, the same
color as his car. I don't think either of us really understood what it
meant to have these powers, and I for one still felt like I was in some
kind of dream. It was all so weird and strange, yesterday I was a guy,
today I was a beautiful young girl, who had a gorgeous guy into her, and
to top it all off, I was the Pink Ranger too, this was nuts.
"You've been pretty quiet," said David from the front seat. "Everything
alright?"
"Oh," I said surprised, "yeah everything's fine." I flashed him a smile
into his rearview as he continued driving.
"Of all t
