Dreams Are Not Reality
Chapter One: Billy's Dream
Billy Cranston was dreaming and in his dream he was sparring Jason Lee Scott, best friend and fellow ranger, the weird thing was that Billy was smiling while they were sparring and Billy almost never smiled when he sparred with his friends. Not that he didn't like spending time with his friends on the contrary he loved spending time with his friends it was the fact he was smiling and so was Jason and not a 'I'm better than you but I'm going to let you win type smile' but an almost dare he say seductive smile. His dream self was just now wrapping his brain around that when Tommy joined in the odd dream and all three of them where smiling. Then the scene shifted and the three of them where spread out on Jason's bed cuddling and then Jason leaned over and kissed Tommy and then Billy on the lips Billy was about to say something when his alarm clock went off.
'BAM'
Billy brought his hand down on his alarm clock and grabbed his glasses of the side of his night stand. He stood and whipped the sweat from his face, trying to clear such thoughts from his head.
Bad Billy bad don't go down that road it only gets you hurt. It only gets you hurt you know that is why your mother died' Billy thought as he walked into his bathroom with clothes in his hand. He turned the water to the right temperature not to hot not to cold, shed his clothes, and then stepped under the moderately warm stream of water.
Billy let his thoughts wander back to a time when he would have up right told the two boys of his attraction to either of them or both of them even, but that was before the accident happened that was before his life was turned upside down by a father he thought loved him.
"Mom can I talk to you?" a ten year old Billy asked his mother one day after school. "Sure son what's wrong?" his mother replied patiently. "Mom I think I don't like girls I think I like guys. Is that wrong?" Billy asked his voice trembling slightly at his secret being told. "Oh Billy!" his mother laughed. Tears started swelling up in his eyes as he braced himself for his mother's disappointment or for the hits to start falling. "sweetheart look at me there is nothing wrong with liking guys as a matter of fact I used to date a girl myself just don't tell your father though he is homophobic and it wouldn't be to good love but there is nothing wrong with you don't let anyone tell you otherwise" His mother told him as she raised his head so he was looking at her. "Thank you mom" Billy replied as he engulfed her in a hug as huge as a ten year old could give.
Billy smiled as he remembered how happy he was back then but little did they know that was just the light on the dawn of darkness.
"SON GET YOUR ASS IN HERE NOW YOU FAGOT!" Mr. Cranston yelled as thirteen year old son walked in the door from school. Billy involuntarily cringed at the new 'nickname' his father had come to call him not two months after his mother died on his eleventh birthday. His father had heard some kids from school talking and found out his one and only son who was supposed to carry on the Cranston line was gay, 100 Gay. Billy walked towards his dad, if he could even be called that, but he didn't make it far when his father struck him down with a backhand to the face.
'William Cranston there is no time for such thoughts you have to get to school and then you have your ranger duty don't let your mind go on like that' Billy chided himself as he turned off the now cold water and got dressed.
Billy made it out of his house with an hour to kill so he decided to go The Juice Bar and see if he could get some of his extra credit work done for AP Biology. Once inside The Juice Bar he went over to the usual table to see Tommy and Jason both sitting there doing their homework as well.
Rita had been extremely busy lately sending anywhere from two to three monsters a night. She had no end to the monsters it seemed and they were no where closer to beating her than when they first started she was just getting stronger and stronger although now she didn't have a green ranger and the Power Rangers now had a white ranger.
"Hey Billy couldn't sleep?" Jason asked as he spotted Billy walking towards them.
"No Rita's been so busy lately that my sleep cycle is out of order" Billy replied.
Jason and Tommy stared at him for a few seconds.
"Bro you feeling ok I could understand every word you said for a change?" Jason asked as he leaned in to see if Billy had a temperature.
"No I am not but I will get over it" Billy replied.
Jason looked down at his watch and whistled.
"We need to get going we have to be at school in twenty minutes or its detention for all of us" he said at their inquiring looks.
Once at the school the three parted ways and were counting the minutes until lunch.
