Darn it, I cannot sleep even after the party we had tonight. Listening to everyone sleeping isn't going to help me either. I decide to get up and go for a walk. No machinery for miles. It sucks to be me because working on machinery and engineering was one of the ways I got through the nights and days at the station. I would work myself to exhaustion especially in the beginning. The first night on the station was hard. Leo was still grieving over his brother and has locked himself in his room. Kai and Kendrix were on duty and didn't get off until the next morning. Maya has disappeared into the forest dome and she was probably grieving over the loss of her home. I didn't know what to do with myself. I was lost and terrible alone but I never told anyone. They had their own problems. Mine was so small compare to the others that I just hide abroad the Megaship until Maya and Leo drag me from the ship.
I took a deep breath as I step out the hut and into the village. The village seems to be so quiet and peacefully. The bonfire and the torches were still burning after the party. Everything is alright now. The planet and space station are safe and one of my friends has come back from the unknown. Why cannot I sleep? It doesn't make sense. Everyone is so happy. Kia was trying to work up the nerve to ask a girl to dance instead the girl come over and ask Kia to dance. Haha! You should have seen his face. Leo was hitting on every girl on the village but he didn't leave the area around Kendrix. Karone is trying to hide from every guy in the village that wants to dance with her. Maya is talking to her grandfather and her family.
My family…
My heart dropped into my stomach. Probably, my family doesn't have a clue where I am. I tried sending video messages to Earth but I have no clue if they were received. Space communication has improved over the years but it wasn't prefect. I don't know if my family tried to send me messages and I never received their messages. What if they give up and thought of me as dead? I couldn't just walk back into the house and say, "I am sorry, mom and dad. I got throw into a portal and became a Power Ranger. I need to stay some time on a space station and save a planet from bunch of bad guys. So, what is for dinner, mom?" That would go over well.
Yet, I have this terrible need to go home and see my family. I want to know what happen while I was gone. I want to know if my sister finally graduate college. Did dad finally finish that car in the shop? Is my baby cousin walking and talking yet? Did mom finally open that shop that she always talked about? I want to know what happen while I was gone. Most of all, I want to touch them and hug them to just know they are alive and well.
I know I cannot, there is no way with the megaship destroy. It would be months before another ship passes through the area. In other words, I am stuck and there is nothing I can do about it. Yet, part of me doesn't want to leave. I love the people I work with and the friends I made on this journey.
I want to go and yet I don't want to go. Pretty mess up, isn't it?
Yawn…
All of this deep thinking is putting me to sleep.
Time to hit the sack. Night.
The End
A/N: I haven't decided if I am going to continue this or now. So, Blah! So, I leave it up to reviewers to decide. Either way, this was a fun little piece to write.
