Maya fumed at the sight of it. For nearly a full rotation she had meditated on the current situation, and decided that it was best to intervene. It was an insult to everything she had believed in, what her people had instilled in her.

The Mirinoian people's heritage dates back to the gods and family unity is what kept the fires of tradition burning their eternal light. But how could there ever be a family if Leo and Kendrix hadn't taken their relationship beyond the occasional kiss and mere hand-holding!

Their future would be filled with children and the Quasar Sabers would have new chosen warriors that would honor the spirit of justice just as they do. But using the most common logic- how could there be children if they hadn't been intimate!

Weighing the fact that everyone was preoccupied with their normal lives and jobs around Terra Venture, and the added stresses of being Power Rangers, Kendrix and Leo frequented the sofa, falling asleep in front of the television.

Many a night when the Rangers and the Magna Defender would gather around the dinner table for a meal, Red and Pink Galaxy Rangers could be heard snoring on the sofa. Maya outwardly shook her head in disappointment and inwardly cringing, thinking about the psychological and physiological side effects Should they not get some sort of relief.

She had spent the night on the Mega Ship mulling over some of DECA's findings concerning something referred to often as 'power-induced hormonal spikes'. It seemed that each time that any of the Rangers (from past and present) morph, their hormonal regulatory system temporarily shuts down, causing the adverse effect of elevated adrenaline and endorphin levels.

Sexual arousal would be the offset and if not properly handled could be detrimental to one's health. This had Maya up in arms, but she or any of the other Rangers were not aware of such arousal, nor were they violently sick to her knowledge. But co-existing in a unique environment does keep everyone busy.

Damon has to constantly worry if the engines or any vital component of Terra Venture should abruptly go off-line or worse, overheat and explode due to its constant usage. Mike was second in command and Commander Stanton basically had him adhering to his every beck and call. But Mike enjoyed his work and liked the responsibility.

Kai was the a-typical over-achieving soldier. His only concerns were keeping Terra Venture on its steady course through distant galaxies, and making his weekly reports to High Counsel Renier herself.

At the heart of the matter were Kendrix and Leo. She was assigned to research the Galaxy Book, and being R&D's most erudite member it was a great as well as time consuming honor.

Leo was Red Ranger and their leader. His worries were the safety of Terra Venture and keeping Trakeena and her cronies at bay. The whole space colony and the universe it seemed, just bearing down on his shoulders. 'And nice shoulders at that,’ Maya mused. If her plan was to succeed, then she must act quickly.

Leo graciously accepted Maya and Kendrix's extended dinner invitation, for lack of any other exciting entertainment. "Want me to bring anything special? Like desert, or something?"

Kendrix shook her head. "Whatever Maya's planning, she said she's taken care of everything. She just said stop at the video store and rent something.”

“Anything in mind?"

"Not really. Besides, I'm too tired to think about video genre, what with the Galaxy Book research. Whatever you bring is fine with me."

"Cool, Star Trek it is then!"

Kendrix laughed and shook her head at her boyfriend. "I'll see you at eight." She pecked him on the lips. Kendrix left him at Damon's garage, as they tinkered with the Astro Cycles.

"What was that all about?" Damon asked not looking up from his Condor Astro Cycle's fuel injectors.

"Kendrix just invited me over for dinner at the girls' quarters. Maya's doing the cooking, I guess." He squatted down and assisted Damon with the repairs.

"Well at least somebody gets to eat! You know Kai's gonna fall into bed like the last three nights without even looking in the direction of the kitchen!"

Leo put a reassuring hand on the Green Ranger's shoulder. “Hey, can you blame him? Mike's being driven crazy by Commander Stanton, I mean we're all tired."

"I suppose so. It seems like ever since Trakeena became queen she just won't let up!"

"I know what you mean." Leo's thoughts drifted back to their duel within the force field dome. "C'mon let's get these cycles finished or we'll be here all night.”

"I heard that."

"Evening ladies!" Leo announced. He arrived promptly at eight with a video in hand. Kendrix happily bounded over to him and flung herself in his arms. Leo whirled her around and was most pleased to discover that she abandoned her GSA fatigues for a pair of black capris and a pink T-shirt, with her hair loose from its usual ponytail.

Maya smiled and deduced that the evening might go more smoothly than expected. "Uh, I hope you didn't forget me!" The young Mirinoian interjected.

Leo looked up smiling. "I'm sorry Maya." He enveloped her in a brotherly embrace.

“Now with the formalities out of the way, let's eat!" Kendrix said pulling them to the elegantly set dinner table. Maya lit the candles and began to serve the food. They began with a hearty, thick vegetable stew chock-full of carrots, celery bits, peas and potatoes. It was spiced generously.

After came the main course, three cornish hens, marinated with a tangerine sauce and a side entree of roasted red potatoes. For desert Kendrix baked a chocolate marble cake, reminiscent of Maya's faux pas concerning Damon's birthday cake.

Sticking to their no-alcohol policy they drank fruit juice and gaily chattered over the day's Events. 'So far, so good,' Maya inwardly sighed. 'They are alert and I have their attentions. Now all that remains is to get those attentions headed in the right direction!'

"Movie time." Leo held up the video. Kendrix lead him to the living room and Leo put the video in the VCR.

The beginning credits scrolled up the screen and the title flashed. "Star Trek II: The Wrath of Khan.... Oooh, Ricardo Montalbon." Kendrix's interest waxed. "Maya, hurry up!"

“Okay, I'll be there in a sec." She brought over a large bowl of non-fat caramel popcorn. Kendrix settled under Leo's right arm and Maya snuggled up to him on his left side. Seeing that they often did that when they were together, he thought nothing of it.

Maya watched as Kirstie Alley argued with William Shatner over a Federation regulation of some sort. Perhaps Kai would know about such things even if it was science fiction. Breaking her gaze from the TV screen, Maya glanced at her companions and was immediately agitated.

Kendrix's eyes were beginning to droop and Leo's somnolent face rested on her head. ‘Oh no you don't!' Maya took hold of Leo's left arm and pressed herself against him. Because he was going in and out of sleep, the Red Ranger was not aware of it.

The Mirinoian woman slowly closed her eyes and regressed her mind into a meditative state. Her genteel ki flowed and resonated throughout the room until it penetrated its targets: Leo and Kendrix's minds.

'Concentrate Maya. You don't want to necessarily overwhelm them now.' She began the transfer slowly, but surely. Elevating her hormonal levels, raising her blood pressure, and heart rate accelerated just enough until the stimuli would set in.

Cutting herself off abruptly Maya disengaged herself from Leo's arm, she exhaled a labored breath feeling quite aroused. After all, why should she leave after all of this? Doesn't she deserve to be pleased?

Leo groaned and shook his head, waking from his catnap. "Did I fall asleep?"

"Ask a stupid question...." came the smart remark from his yellow teammate.

A pain-filled grunt was heard from under Leo's arm, Kendrix was being crushed from his weight. “Could you please get off me!" She whimpered.

Leo gasped and immediately moved to the side allowing his girlfriend air. "Kendrix! Jesus! I'm so sorry!" Taking her face in his hands he examined it for injury.

"It's OK Leo. I'm all right." Maya watched the scene play out with a knowing grin plastered across her face before settling back into the movie. Just minutes later Kendrix began to squirm uncomfortably making little, frustrated sighing sounds and she slung her leg over Leo's, finding temporary relief.

The room felt as if the temperature shot up ten degrees and Leo struggled out of his denim shirt leaving him clad in a red tank. Kendrix's breathing became labored as she reveled in the sight of his well-muscled upper body in the thin garment. Maya rested her hand on his thigh and began to stroke him.

Curiously she drew her nails along the buttery soft texture of his khakis causing Leo to shudder. “Are the environmental regulators acting up again? God it's hot in here!" He wiped his brow roughly.

"Not that I can tell," Maya replied nonchalantly and began to let her fingertips trace around the zipper of his pants. Kendrix moaned loudly sinking her nails into Leo's shoulders and strained herself against him.

"Kendrix," he began breathlessly, "What's gotten into you?"

“Nothing as of yet," drolled Maya in a silky tone. She slipped her finger under Leo's chin and made him face her. "But when your lady feels the need..." She kissed him then licked his lips. "Her man must oblige."

Kendrix's panties were soaked and fused to her crotch, she began growling and clawing at the cushions trying desperately to get their attention. "You feel it, don't you? Just welling up inside you?" Maya tortured him and saw a tent beginning to spring in his khakis. "Go for it Leo, she's ready and willing."

“Will you quit the chit-chat! Somebody PLEASE fuck me!" Kendrix shrieked. That was all it took. Leo roared and flung himself on top of the Pink Ranger. Kendrix greedily kissed him, and while she had a mouthful of his tongue she tried valiantly to speak up. "Maya, you wouldn't happen to have anything to do with our sudden behavior?"

With exaggerated innocence Maya began to twirl a golden lock of the Pink Ranger's hair. "Why, whatever do you mean Kendrix?" Smirking, Maya turned off the TV set and they proceeded to move to the floor.

"Um, girls, do you really want to do this?" Leo asked with a note of hesitation in his voice.

"Keep an open mind lion cub." Maya yanked his red tank off of him. "There are many lessons for you both to learn tonight." Kendrix wiggled out of her capris and whisked off her T-shirt leaving herself clad in her pink bra and panties, Leo took off his Lugz and pants, however he kept on his red boxers.

In only a couple of swift gestures Maya's yellow bikini-like blouse and matching mini-skirt was peeled off and she sat before her comrades gloriously naked. A blush spread from the tip of Kendrix's ears to her nose of embarrassment and inferiority when she saw Maya's sizable breasts roll free. Leo couldn't take his eyes off of them.

"What are you all waiting for? You can do this with your underwear on but in won't be as fun." Sullenly Kendrix shed her underthings and frowned at her smaller, however pert bosom.

"Kendrix, what's the matter?" Leo saw the distressed look on her face and realized it was because of his gaping at Maya's chest. He slid behind her and began to rub her shoulders apologetically. "I am such an insensitive ass! I am so sorry baby."

"It's not your fault. I mean if Maya's willing to... how shall I put this? Help us, and she is a beautiful woman... I'm really not surprised." Pressing his forehead to hers Leo kissed her smile.

"I love you so much. But I could never figure out why you would want a stowaway?"

Kendrix kissed the tip of his nose. "Maybe because I saw something more to the stowaway than muscle and sinew!" The promising scientist poked him on his washboard stomach.

"And I'm getting confused!" Maya threw her hands up.

Kendrix and Leo looked at each other and figured that breast size wasn't a primary sexual fixation among Mirinoian men. "It's... a little difficult to explain," Leo offered. Kendrix glowered at him.

"I think what Leo means is that sexuality concerning Terran males is difficult to understand." She indicated towards Maya's breasts.

"What's the matter with my breasts? On Mirinoi, men were never known to complain of such things."

"I wasn't complaining Maya... just staring... a little too much." Leo blushed furiously.

"As was I," Kendrix admitted.

"Well for what we're about to do, staring won't be the only thing I'll be doing." They laughed at Maya's insinuating remark and only then did they realize that they were on the threshold of stepping over the boundaries of friendship.

Tentatively, Kendrix leaned in close to Maya and brushed her lips against hers. "Try not to think about it. Just let go." It took Kendrix a few moments to process what Maya had just proposed, and decided to make her move.

Mustering up all the passion she had Kendrix kissed Maya deeply, her hands cradling Maya's chin. "I think Leo's feeling left out." Kendrix said when the two women came up for air.

"Well that isn't very nice, but I know something that is," Maya sang. Suddenly Leo didn't quite trust his female companions as the air became electrically charged with an onslaught of hormones. Maya leapt with the ferocity of her Wolf Galactabeast and tackled him.

Kendrix assisted her in ripping his boxers off. They were like giddy schoolgirls as they watched is organ rise and gorge with blood, they smoothed their hands all over his chest as they conspired over their naughty plans. "Maya, why don't you show Leo why yours is the element of thunder?"

"Thought you'd never ask Kendrix." Maya trailed kisses down his abdomen before she engulfed his member in one easy swipe. Leo growled loudly at the sensations when Kendrix eased his head onto her lap and rained kisses on his face.

The Pink Ranger watched, mesmerized at her best friend's oral ministrations and could only wonder of her best friend's expertise. Maya's tongue rotated around the glands and saw his first fluids emerge and hungrily lapped them up, she smiled around his organ and she winked at Kendrix.

Maya felt Leo tensing up and his breathing was ragged, she knew he was ready to come. Releasing him from her mouth, Maya lowered herself onto him. "Like that, Leo?" She hissed and rotated her hips to adjust to his girth, then began to thrust. She rode him expertly.

Leo did everything he could not to pass out as he felt Maya's velveteen walls massage and pump him. Maya's movements became more frantic and she tortured Leo with a will, using her inner muscles to squeeze and bind him.

"Come on Leo, give her everything you've got!" Kendrix hissed in his ear. Maya threw her head back and felt the beginnings of an orgasm to radiate through her and bounced faster.

"LEEOOO!" Maya moaned. Kendrix feared that despite the walls being made of titanium the neighbors would have heard. Leo felt Maya's muscles contract and relax in a steady rhythm and her juices slide down his erection. Her eyes as wide as saucers Maya screamed to the heavens as her climax wracked her.

Leo's orgasm soon followed but his cries were swallowed by Kendrix who kept her mouth over his until his cries died down. The orgasm didn't so much overtake Leo but sweep him away. Maya rolled off of him and rested her head on his chest taking gulps of air. "Go easy with Kendrix Leo. The ones in pink are always more delicate."

Pulling her beneath him in the supine position and began to taste and explore Kendrix's lithe body, Leo drew in a roseate nipple and sealed his hand over Kendrix's soaked mounds in an effort to insert one or more of his fingers inside of her.

Maya now astride her leader began to massage his shoulders, purposefully tantalizing him into going further, she knew she had succeeded when Kendrix shrilled and saw Leo's index and middle fingers buried deep inside of her probing for her hot center.

Kendrix thrashed her head from side to side, the spray of her sweat-streaked hair flying everywhere and a deep blush spread over her breasts. “Please Leo," she whimpered, "I'm dying for you!"

The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her, but his seething erection needed relief. "Hold on to me Kendrix. Tight."

"Oh thank God!" Straining herself against him once more she threw her legs around his back. Carefully applying his weight atop her, he let his glands just peek into her netherlips.

"I love you Kendrix."

"I know." She said into his shoulder. He wagered that there would be teethmarks there come morning. "Now go Goddamnit!" In one quick lunge he was inside her. They both cried out and tried their best to move in unison. Their intense love making produced squelching noises among loud moans.

Kendrix pushed and pushed with all her might trying to match him and quash this unwavering fire, when she felt the stirrings of an orgasm in what felt like the pit of her stomach then abruptly rip right through her. Leo felt himself awash with Kendrix's fluids and she screamed, he wasn't even close to his. "Kendrix!"

“Don't worry," she grunted. "That's only the first!" Her fluids were spilling out and he knew she was ready to come again, fortunately thinking about Kendrix having multiple orgasms was driving him over the edge.

Kendrix all but lifted Leo with the force of adrenaline before letting her orgasm consume her. Their mutual climax rushed them, Leo just poured himself into Kendrix's heavenly depths and Maya stuffed towels in their mouths to absorb their screams.

Falling on the carpet panting and still clinging to one another, shuddering with the after shocks. Maya sat back against the sofa casually sipping from an ice-cold water bottle grinned before offering them the water.

Leo grabbed the bottle from her and had to roll on his back to drink. Kendrix started planting loud kisses on his throat then took a long draught for herself. They were both very dehydrated. “And this is only lesson one," Maya said and with that Leo passed out.

The sound of one of Maya's many windchimes tinkled from the air-conditioning echoed through the silent quarters. Now under the many woven blankets Leo watched the elongated shadows of the chimes sway and dance in the glow of the starlight. Kendrix was in a deep sleep nestled in Leo's arms. Maya was just beside Kendrix with her eyes closed, but was not asleep.

"Maya," Leo whispered.

"Yes?"

"Thank you. From both of us."

"It was my pleasure. But like I said, this was only lesson one. Better get some Leo, 'night!" It was just their first lesson and how he looked forward to the next.
