DISCLAIMER: I do not own the Mighty Morphin' Power Rangers

AUTHOR'S NOTE: I originally planned for this to be a one-shot but it's taking me a bit longer to write than I had expected . . . so I decided to break it into short chapters. It won't be a very long story but I hope you all enjoy it. The idea was sparked while I was watching some MMPR episodes, more specifically the episode of Zack's Birthday. If you're familiar with it, you could probably pick out which scene and why it triggered a story. ANYWAYS! ENJOY!

KNIGHT IN SHINING ARMOR

His brown eyes narrowed as he watched his Asian friend land on her bottom, a dust of dirt lifting around her. He tightened his hands into fist and squared his shoulders. She rose from the ground just as he took a step toward her but a arm blocked his path.

"Dad," the seven year old seem to scold, switching his attention toward his dad and back to his friend.

"Just wait a minute, Jason. I think Trini can handle this," his dad explained as he lowered his arm but not before giving his son a stern look to remain still.

"But dad, mom said . . ." Jason began to argue.

His mom always said he was like a knight. Not so much a king or prince only because according to her it seemed as if he always needed to protect those around him. He neither agreed or disagreed, he just like the idea of holding a sword rather than wearing a crown. Since then he decided he should be a knight.

He watched as the sandy hair boy shove his friend once again. He took another step forward but froze when he felt a firm hand on his shoulder.

Jason glanced up to see Mr. Kawn beside him. "Trini will be fine, Jason. I promise."

He slowly nodded in agreement, knowing very well that his martial arts classmate was far more than capable of taking care of herself but he frowned nonetheless. Knights were meant to protect everyone, especially pretty princesses. And according to Kimberly, her and Trini were nothing but princesses and needed to be treated as such.

Snapping out of his thoughts, Jason felt his eyes widen as the boy rushed toward Trini after failing to push her back down. Trini simply stepped to the side, causing the boy to stumble head first to the ground. The boy held back his tears as she placed her hands on her knees.

"You could have just asked me. I would have let you use the swing," he heard Trini tell the boy as she offered him her hand. The boy nodded quite embarrassed as he took her hand and mumbled an apology.

Jason stood a bit puzzled. His dad and Mr. Kwan were right. Trini didn't need anyone to save her. 'A princess who doesn't need a knight to save her . . . how interesting' he thought to himself as Trini sent him a big smile and a wave.
