A/N: This is the sequel to "Jealousy." If you haven't read it yet, I suggest you do so you're not confused. It's an A/U fic. You'll see how when you read it, but if you don't tell me and I'll either explain it to you or rewrite it so it's more understandable.

Chapter One

My parents have made up their minds. We're definitely moving. My grandmother had written a letter to my dad a couple days ago saying how bad things were in Africa, and now he wants to be closer to her so we could help her. We're leaving in a couple of weeks. I can honestly say that I feel relieved.

Why would I be relieved that we're moving to Africa in a couple weeks and I have to leave all my friends, you ask?

First of all, my mess with Adam and Rocky isn't getting any better. It's not getting worse-it's still the same awkward situation-but it's not getting better. Actually, it is getting worse. I think I'm starting to develop romantic feelings for Rocky. I can't say I love him as more than a friend, but I definitely like him as more than a friend. And the awkwardness between us keeps growing and growing. I know he still hurts. And I can't help but still feel guilty for causing him so much pain.

Second, things with the Power Rangers have gotten way out of hand, at least in my opinion. I can't take being a Ranger anymore. You see, just this past week, this girl Tanya Sloan moved here to Angel Grove. She was really nice and sweet. But then Rita decided to make Tanya her evil apprentice. Tanya stole my Power Coin one day while we were at the beach, and my energy's been drained ever since. Tanya's overcome Rita's spell already, but we still haven't gotten my coin back. I've been feeling pretty useless because I can't fight as well as I used to. But even if this hadn't happened, I know I'd wouldn't want to be a Ranger anymore. I seriously can't wait to get away from all of this.

Of course, I'll miss my friends. I'll miss hanging out at the Youth Center every day after school with them. I'll miss Ernie's smoothies. I'll definitely miss spending time with Adam. Rocky, too. I love them both, but in different ways. And I'll love them both forever, I'm sure.

I know it seems as if I'm running away from my problems instead of solving them. But if you were in my position, you'd understand. Getting away from Angel Grove seems to be my only solution. I won't have to face Adam and Rocky every day. I won't have to look at Rocky and see all the pain and jealousy that's hidden underneath his goofy personality. I won't have to worry about fighting and monsters. I'd finally feel happy again.

I still haven't told my friends I was leaving; I'm afraid of how they will react. Especially Tommy. I'm pretty sure he'll think of me as a quitter, and I definitely don't want that. And I'm scared that Zordon and Alpha will be disappointed in me. I know both Rocky and Adam will be heartbroken. But everyone will have to find out sooner or later.

The next afternoon after school, me and my friends were hanging out at the Youth Center, as usual. I was sitting next to Adam, but Rocky sat as far away from us as possible, something I've noticed him do fairly often whenever the six of us were together.

Gathering up my courage to talk, I took a deep breath. "Guys, I have something to tell you," I said nervously as I played with the straw in my soda glass.

"What is it, sweetie?" Adam asked as he wrapped his arm around me. I cringed when I noticed Rocky roll his eyes.

Staring at the ice cubes in my soda, I whispered, "I'm moving." I said it so softly that not even Adam heard me.

"What?" my five friends asked in unison. They all leaned closer to hear me better.

"I said, I'm moving," I repeated in a louder voice.

Everyone's eyes popped out of their sockets. "What do you mean you're moving?" Adam asked sadly.

"My parents and I are moving to Africa," I explained.

"Africa!?" Rocky exclaimed. I could practically see his heart break.

I nodded. "W-We're leaving in two weeks. You guys, I'm really sorry."

Tommy glanced at me. "What are we going to do when you leave? We can't manage without you. How could you do that to us?"

Way to go, Tommy. As if I don't feel bad enough.

As if reading my mind, Kim scolded her boyfriend, "Tommy, she doesn't need you to make her feel worse."

"I'm sorry," Tommy apologized, although it was directed more to Kim than to me.

"Why are you leaving?" Adam inquired softly.

"My dad wants us to be closer to my grandmother," I answered quietly. "I'm really sorry. I don't want to move, but I have to." (Well, at least the first part was the truth.)

"We understand, Ish," Billy reassured me.

"I feel really bad about this," I said. And I did. But they didn't know the real reasons why.

"Don't worry about it," Kim said. "We'll find a way to manage without you," she added as she shot Tommy a look.

"Thanks for understanding, guys," I said.

After a moment of silence, I spoke up, "I better go. I have to help my parents start packing."

"'Bye, Aisha," Billy, Kim, and Tommy chorused.

"'Bye, Ish," Adam whispered. He leaned in to kiss me, but I moved away. Out of the corner of my eye, I saw Rocky raise an eyebrow.

"'Bye, guys. I'll see you all tomorrow." Standing up from the table, I glanced at Rocky. Our eyes locked for a few seconds. Billy, Kim, and Tommy exchanged looks, as if they had a feeling we were hiding something. Sighing, I turned on my heel and left, feeling Rocky's eyes on me until I walked out the doors.
