I thank God for all my inspiration.
There are a few changes in my story from the movies. One, Zordon isn't dead he is just in a stasis mode because of his damaged body. Two, Billy didn't die either but they thought he did till Zordon jump started his heard again. Three, the zeo crystals don't make life on planets just are very powerful, and they did not wait 6 million years for the rangers. They did see dinosaurs but I'm not going to put an exact date.
By the way I made this story for 'Autism Awareness Month.' The color of the month is blue and what better way to show support for this on fanfiction then on the first ever Autistic superhero of our time, who also wears blue.
Billy sat on the floor of the spaceship, writing down calculations as he looked at the map of stars that Alpha five was showing him. "Very impressive Billy. Even I have had trouble with these calculation, how do you do it?"
"Well you see it's kind of hard to explain, my mind just kind of gets it. I like to think and I like to search for things, it no different than looking for things in the dirt like when my dad would go to the mines for his job. You have to know where your digging and sometimes that means like, trying to figure out a puzzle, only this ones like with stars."
Suddenly a deeper voice said "That is a very impressive way of looking at things Billy. You certainly have a unique way of thinking."
"Oh that's because I'm on the spectrum."
Zordon seemed confused on this till he said "Jason has told me about this spectrum but I do not completely understand it. People say it is a disability yet you are actually quite capable in areas the other rangers are not. Especially mentally."
"Oh that's part of the spectrum too. Because we think different we can also think about things in ways others don't and remember things other people don't and use it so we are really smart but we just don't know how to act the way people want us too."
Alpha five then said, "There are some things on the internet that may help you understand it better Zordon."
Said face hummed at this and took a quick look. Once done he felt a bit strange. As he looked at the child before him he had already had doubts about them all being rangers because of their age, now he had concerns about the blue ranger.
He knew the others would protect Billy and Billy could protect himself and the others too. He had seen this with their fight against Rita. He almost shivered at the memory of Billy almost dying because of her. He may be stuck in a computer but he wasn't heartless.
From what he found out, Billy lived in a society that shunned him for being different, as they call it. Some try to help but it seemed that it was still something that needed being shown and explained. He felt heavy at this.
On his planet individuals with high intellect were given whatever they needed to insure their success, even if they had personal quirks. It seems that in allot of parts on earth though, these quirks where seen as a taboo to most. And the person that is usually aimed with such things even believes that the do not fit on their own planet.
Strange, he supposed he and Billy had that in common. He did not feel part of this world because he was not and Billy did not feel part of this world because he was different from it, all because of one change in his mind. How unfair were the people around him to make the feeling worse?
Suddenly the door to the ship opened and in came the other rangers, what he noticed though was that…
"Why are you all dressed in blue?" Billy asked.
Jason was the one to reply with "Well I heard that starting on the second of April was autism awareness month man."
Zack then said, "Yeah and when Jason told us, we thought it was kind of uncanny that the ranger who as he says is on the spectrum also wears the color that represents the month."
Billy then started to explain "Actually it's a blue light on peoples' doors that represents the awareness. It not a holiday you know it's just a way to get people to recognize and understand….."
Kim then said "Billy we know. But being your friends we thought this be something fun to do and in a way we wanted to celebrate you."
"But you can already do that on my birthday."
They all chuckled at that when Trini sat down next to him and said "Look Billy, just accept that we're your friend and that we want to make you feel special."
"I thought I already was."
Kim then sat on the other side of him and said "You are and that's why we're doing this to show we appreciate you."
Zack then said "Yeah and let's face it dude, how many super heroes are on the spectrum?"
Billy seemed to be thinking about this till Jason came over and kneeled in front of his friend and said "None. Now come on, let's go out and celebrate with some krispy kream."
Billy seemed to smile and even laughed as he said "Really!"
They all laughed along at that glad that the whole goldar incident hadn't affect his like for the donuts, it seemed it didn't affect any of them really. With that they got up and started to head out, before the left though Billy turned to Zordona and said "I'll show you what I find when I get back okay. Also, Alpha five are you sure there's no way he can eat."
"Sadly no but the ship is able to keep him sustained."
"Too bad he's missing out."
They all laughed about that and headed out. As Zordon saw this he felt a slight smile come to his face. The worry he felt was gone and the sympathy edged away as he could see that Billy was not alone, he had friends that treated him as one of thier one, his teammates and allies in battle where also his friends for life that would help him no matter what.
He had almost forgotten that kind of friendship and suddenly he himself also felt like he was not that different from the rest of the others on this planet and he hoped that Billy would never feel that way either. Maybe that's why he and Alpha five enjoyed the boy's presence so much.
Okay that's all I could come up with. I might do more stories. But for now I felt like this was something that just had to be done. God bless you all and I hope you all enjoyed it.
