Chapter 1: Tommy

Dr Thomas Oliver had the perfect life. He had 4 adopted children and he had finally finished his ranger career.

He thought back to his children, Conner, Ethan, Kira and Trent.

Kira was with him because her dad had tried to kill her. She had turned up on his doorstep at 1 in the morning crying and Tommy had taken her in. She was the first to come live with him and the other 3 hadn't come until a while later.

Trent was the second one to come live with him.

Trent's dad had tried to kill him to but for completely different reasons. His dad wasn't into child abuse but his dad was the evil guy the rangers were fighting. Mesagog! Mesagog had tried to kill Trent while he was sleeping and Tommy had taken Trent to keep him safe. After Mesagog was defeated, Anton Mercer was revealed to be rid of the darkness completely but he had gone mental and was taken to an asylum for the rest of his life. Trent had come to permanently live with Tommy.

Conner and Ethan got landed with Tommy for the same reason as eachother. Zeltrax had blown up their houses when they were coming home from a monster battle. Their parents were killed and Tommy was given custody of them.

Tommy sighed as he looked through his pictures in the basement. He found one of him and Kimberly at the juice bar. He was getting his butt kicked for pretending to go to his uncles when he was spending the weekend at Jason's place. He laughed bitterly at he saw the picture of him lying on the floor and Kimberly standing over him. He missed his old friends, he could admit that but he hated to. He had left them behind because he thought it was better for him. Now half of them were famous and others were making heaps of money in their jobs.

Jason had started up his own dojo and so many kids were going to it that he was rolling around in millions. He was single but everyone knew he adored Kat. He was just too scared to ask her to marry him because they hadn't talked in years.

Trini was an architect. No-one had seen that coming but she seemed to really love it. Tommy had asked her why around 5 years ago and she replied with 'I love all the work we have to do; I haven't stopped being active yet'. That was the last time they had spoken.

Zack was a huge Broadway star. He was famous and made millions a year. He loved all the acting and dancing, like he always had. Tommy always saw his picture in the paper and it made him smile. Zack was another ranger who had fulfilled his dream. Like Jason, Zack was single but wasn't pining for anyone.

Billy was still on the other planet and they hadn't really had any notice of him. No-one kept in contact because it was impossible to but they all missed him. Tommy reckoned that he had become president for the alien race but that was just Tommy.

Aisha was still in Africa and she was in the papers all the time because she was always trying the help the little kids. She was a great benefactor and she donated a lot of money and toys to children when they needed it.

Rocky was in charge of schools all over California and none of them had any idea why. Rocky wasn't smart but he was still an excellent person in charge of the school board. He was the only one Tommy kept in contact with but that was because Tommy had to. Their conversations were only ever about school and nothing else. They tried to make sure that they hardly ever had to speak to eachother.

Adam had probably progressed the highest. He was the president of the united states, against his own will of course. The rest of the rangers had made sure he was president. Adam had done everything in his powers to stop becoming president but it didn't exactly work.

Kat was a famous dancer in England. She performed all the time and was always interviewed and shown on public t.v in America. She was also single but Tommy knew she loved Jason with all her heart.

Tanya had become a pop-star but she wasn't exactly famous. The men seemed to like her and she was proposed to like everyday but she always rejected them. She really wanted Adam but she was sure he didn't feel the same. She only became a pop star so he would see her on t.v or in movies. She really missed him and she wanted him to miss her to.

Justin was stuck in boarding school but he seemed to enjoy it. He was still obsessed with his key and he wouldn't let anyone touch his turbo car.

Kimberly…that was one name Tommy hated but still loved hearing. He was fine without her in his life but that didn't stop him wishing they could still be friends. Why hadn't he tried to patch things up with her after the letter? Why hadn't he tried to become her friend? He wouldn't have been in contact with her now but it would have comforted him to know that she missed him. She was quite fine without him in her life. She was a famous gymnast and she needed no-one at her side. Whenever Tommy saw her picture in the paper he felt his heart plummet. He had once studied her eyes carefully as she was looking at the audience in the paper and what he saw shocked him. It seemed as if she was studying the audience for someone but never seeing them. She always had that sad, pained look in her eyes in every picture she was seen in. From what Tommy had read, she was single without any children and she wasn't looking to marry. That didn't make Tommy happy at all. It made him upset to think of her suffering by herself at home. She needed someone with her! She needed to be protected but Tommy wouldn't do it. He never wanted to see her in person again. He didn't want to be furious but sometimes it was impossible not to be whenever he heard her name or saw her picture but he really did miss her.

Tommy's life isn't perfect after all. He has a dark past that he was trying to forget but couldn't. He suffered about it at night and was somber a lot in the day because of all that stuff that happened as a teenager.

He just wanted to forget.
