‘Glad you could join us.’ The Blue Ranger grumbled as he munched on a Jaffa Cake.

‘Eh?’ Pinky yawned as she rubbed her eyes. ‘Eurgh, eye bogey, yuck,’ she complained as she wiped her hand on her pyjama top.

‘Pinky!’ Tallulah yelled in disgust.

‘Oh, I’m sorry did you want some?’ Pinky chuckled holding her finger out as she shuffled in a zombie-like motion towards Tallulah.

‘Eeeeek,’ Tallulah squealed as she jumped out of her chair using her lightening-quick agility to out-manoeuvre the approaching eye bogey attack.

Pinky picked up pace and followed suit. Tallulah headed towards the kitchen, paused and turned to face Pinky, ‘Ha-ha, catch me if you can.’ In one elegant motion she back-flipped and landed on top of a cupboard.

‘Oi, that’s not fair, come down at once.’ Pinky commanded stamping her foot in anger.

Tallulah leaned forward, opened the cupboard, fumbled about inside, retrieved a box of Cheerio’s and threw handfuls of cereal at Pinky. Pinky leaped out of the line of fire and sought refuge behind the counter. She surveyed her surroundings and her eyes locked onto OC who was about to take a bite of a slice of toast. Pinky somersaulted through the air and swiped the toast from OC’s hand.

‘Oi!’ OC yelled.

Pinky ignored OC and launched the toast through the air hitting Tallulah in the face.

‘Ouch.’ Tallulah cried as she knocked the toast away and used the back of her hand to wipe a smudge of butter from her nose.

OC pushed her chair back from the table, made her way over to Pinky and stood towering over her. Pinky looked up and gulped as she met with OC’s fierce glare. ‘You’re going to hit me again aren’t you?’

OC smiled and nodded her head in agreement as she positioned her knuckledusters firmly in place.

            ‘Oh crap.’ Pinky sighed as she screwed her eyes shut as if it would cushion the blow.

OC clenched drew her fist back ready to strike but was halted by the Cheerio box hitting her on the side of the head ruining her perfectly groomed purple hair.

            ‘Sorry Sweetie, I wasn’t aiming for you.’ Tallulah squealed.

            ‘This means war!’ OC roared as she stamped over to The Blue Ranger, snatched the box of Jaffa Cakes and proceeded to launch a Jaffa Cake attack on Tallulah. Tallulah launched a counter-attack with Disco Rings. Pinky slowly opened her eyes and giggled as she watched her comrades engage in battle. However, her amusement was short lived as Tallulah and OC quickly turned their attack in her direction. Pinky took a few lethal biscuit blows to the torso. Tallulah and OC giggled and prepared to launch a second attack. With moments to spare Pinky leapt behind The Blue Ranger using him as a human shield. He took the full force of the hurtling food missiles. His body juddered with each deadly hit. He pulled a dagger from his belt and with a flick of his wrist the dagger hit the light switch across the room.

            All went black and in a matter of seconds The Blue Ranger had used all necessary force to round up his team mates. ‘It’s a shame it had to come to this.’ He sighed as he switched the light back on. He shook his head and gazed down on his recently bound friends as they struggled to escape. ‘Why must every team meeting end up like this?’ He muttered as he ruffled his fluffy blue hair.

            OC leaned toward Tallulah and whispered in her ear ‘Use some of your feminine charms on him.’

Tallulah winked at OC and whispered ‘I’m on it.’ Tallulah began struggling with the ropes. ‘Ouch.’ She whimpered, bottom lip trembling. The Blue Ranger sprang to Tallulah’s aid. ‘Is it too tight for you?’ He asked as he crouched down in front of her.

            Tallulah nodded her head in agreement and fluttered her eyelashes. The Blue Ranger was unable to resist and instantly set about untying her.

            ‘Oooh she’s good.’ Pinky whispered to OC.

            ‘Yep.’ Agreed OC grinning.

            OC and Pinky watched as The Blue Ranger lovingly helped Tallulah to her feet and inspected her wrists for any damage. They eagerly awaited their release; however to their dismay Tallulah and The Blue Ranger engaged in a passionate embrace.

            ‘Eeeew.’ OC and Pinky screamed as they tried to avert their eyes.

After an uncomfortable period of time the lovebirds parted and The Blue Ranger led Tallulah by the hand towards the door. ‘We’re just going to, erm, chase some butterflies.’ He shouted behind him and the pair exited the room giggling.

            ‘I’m going to be sick in my mouth.’ OC proclaimed.

            ‘Why?’ Pinky asked looking puzzled.

            ‘It’s bad enough seeing them go at it, but chasing butterflies, that is way too much information.’

            ‘I think chasing butterflies sounds really cute.’ Smiled Pinky.

OC began to laugh until she looked at Pinky’s innocent face. ‘Oh, you’re not joking are you? Erm, chasing butterflies has another meaning.’

Pinky looked really confused. OC leaned closer and whispered into Pinky’s ear. Pinky’s eyes widened in horror. ‘NO, you must be mistaken?’

            OC shook her head. ‘I’m afraid not.’

            ‘Ooooh, that sneaky little temptress.’ Pinky hissed.

OC made one last attempt to untie the ropes, but it was in vane. ‘Looks like we’re going to be here a while,’ she sighed. ‘You fancy playing a game?’

            ‘I guess so, what do you want to play?’

OC pondered for a few seconds. A large cheeky grin spread across her face. ‘Oooh, I know, what about Rude Alphabet?’

            ‘Sweet.’ Pinky giggled. ‘I’ll go first. A is for arse.’

            ‘B is for boobs.’ OC chuckled.

            ‘C is for…’

‘Oh, good you’re both still here.’ Said The Blue Ranger. 

‘You took you’re time.’ Pinky grumbled, still tied up to OC.

Tallulah straightened her clothing as she entered the room.

            ‘Traitor,’ OC spat in Tallulah’s direction.

Tallulah avoided eye contact as she headed towards the table, her cheeks glowed as red as her hair.

            ‘I shall untie you if you promise to behave!’ OC and Pinky nodded their heads in agreement. ‘We have grave matters to discuss and we can’t afford to waste any more time.’ Said The Blue Ranger as he untied the duo.

            OC and Pinky clambered to their feet and made their way to the table. ‘My bum’s gone numb.’ OC whimpered.

            ‘Allow me to assist you.’ Pinky grinned as she gave OC a swift kick to the buttock.

            ‘Ouch!’ OC screamed and punched Pinky in retaliation, knocking her flying across the room to land crumpled on the floor.

            ‘We haven’t got time for this childish behaviour. Sit down now!’ The Blue Ranger roared.

Pinky got up and joined OC in their walk of shame to the table where Tallulah and The Blue Ranger were seated. They slumped into their chairs like a couple of disobedient children. ‘So what’s the big crisis, Blue?’ OC muttered as she watched The Blue Ranger rub his temples.

            ‘It’s Steve.’ The Blue Ranger sighed.

            ‘What about him?’ Pinky enquired.

            ‘He’s…he’s…gone…’ The Blue Ranger sobbed.
