Pieces of Me

Chapter 1

The Aftermath

Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers or any of the characters, or the franchise. I was feeling very Depressed a while back and I needed to write something. And this fan fiction idea popped in my head. This takes place after the episode "Mondo's Last Stand" episode 35 of Power Rangers Zeo. Rocky/Jason friendship and Bromance only. I was irritated that I couldn't find a fan fiction about this episode where. The both of them talk about Rocky's jealousy without it turning into a slash Fan fiction. So, I decided to write one myself. I hope you enjoy this. This will be a Rocky and Aisha Romance fic later on as well. Let me know your thoughts on this. I plan to continue writing this, as long as at least one person likes this.

I apologize to the readers of my other stories in progress. I am not feeling particularly inspired to write them at the moment nor do I feel motivated or have ideas to. But I plan to finish them eventually. My Depression got really bad again for a while. During that time I began to watch all of the Power Rangers seasons to relive my childhood. I am now currently watching Jungle Fury. :)

Rocky was feeling particularly bad that night. Angel Grove had almost gotten destroyed and it was all his fault. If he hadn't let his jealousy get the best of him maybe King Mondo wouldn't have set his sights on the city. If only he had called the other Rangers instead of trying to take him on himself. The worst thing though was he lied to his friends. He had told them that he didn't know why he had decided to try to take on the king of the Machine Empire by himself.

The truth was that he knew the exact reason. He felt that he had to prove himself to the others upon The original red ranger's return. They had pushed him aside due to Jason's return as the Gold Zeo Ranger. None of them even noticed that something was wrong with him, Except Billy. Billy, the original Blue ranger had noticed that something was up with Rocky at the youth Center.

The former Ranger had questioned him but the current Blue ranger had shrugged it off. He told him that it was nothing. Rocky changed the subject and asked him if he wanted to spar. Surprise, he was going to spar with Jason next after Adam had finished his turn. Billy had said that maybe they could spar later but of course he had forgotten. With King Mondo's attack and Jason's return it had slipped his mind.

Rocky felt jealous of Jason. He had returned and he felt inadequate. He could never measure up to the original Red Ranger, his predecessor. He felt like he was now being replaced by the one who's spot he had taken. When Jason, along with Trini and Zach(the original yellow and black Rangers) had gone to the Peace Conference after being selected out of hundreds of applicants.

He was sitting in his bedroom lost in his thoughts about the events that happened earlier that day. He was shaken back into reality by his mother speaking to him. "Mijo, Is everything okay?"

He gave her a smile, a big fake smile. "Yeah, I'm fine. Why do you ask?"

"I've been calling you for ten minutes. You didn't respond or come down."

"Sorry Mom, I was just lost in thought. What did you need me for?" The Blue Zeo Ranger asked.

"A girl is on the phone for you. She says she's a friend of yours, Aisha Campbell?"

"Yeah, we used to go to school together." He told her. Aisha stayed in Africa after retrieving her Zeo Crystal. She had decided to send Tanya back in her place altering the timeline. Therefore the memories of other people, with the exception of the Rangers, Zordon, and Alpha were the only ones who remembered her. "I'd better get downstairs to talk to her." Rocky rushed out of the room and downstairs. He grabbed the phone. "Hey, Aisha."

"Rocky, are you okay?" She demanded.

"Yeah, I'm fine." A bit of confusion colored his voice.

"Really?" He could her the disbelief in her voice. "Then why do I feel our Ninjetti bond spasming?!"

He sighed. "I'm okay Aisha, really I am." He heard a scoff.

"You're not okay Rocky! I can feel it. What is going on with you?" She repeated. "If you say that you're fine one more time; I will teleport over there and hit you." She warned the former Red and current Blue ranger.

"You can't. We're not supposed to use the power for personal gain."

"This is for you, so it wouldn't be for personal gain." The African American girl responded. "And even if it is considered personal gain I'm sure Zordon would understand. Considering that it concerns the well-being of one of his active Rangers."

"It's nothing," He said tiredly.

"Rocky, please," Her voice softened. "I can't help you if you won't tell me what's wrong."

He turned to his mother who had just entered the room. "I can't talk that much longer, I have to get to bed. Can you come visit and we can talk?" He asked. There was a note of pleading in his voice.

"Of course, I'll contact Zordon and Alpha and ask them to teleport me over. I'll crash at the Power Chamber tonight."

"Billy, will be there though. He's been spending most of his time there. I...I don't want them to know about this visit Sha'. I'm not ready to tell them yet."

"I understand," She assured him. "Meet me in Stone Canyon tomorrow morning at 8:00."

"I'll be there." He replied.

"You'd better, or I'll have to track you down and kick your butt." She warned him.

He laughed, "Okay, I promise that I'll be there at 8:00 am tomorrow."

"Good," She paused, "Goodnight Rocky,"

"Good morning Aisha," He grinned, "Bye!"

She laughed at his response, "Bye!"

He hung up the phone turning to face his mother. "What's this about meeting at 8:00 tomorrow morning with this girlfriend of yours?" She raised an eyebrow.

He groaned, "MOM! Aisha is not my girlfriend. We're just very good friends, best friends."

"Really now?" She gave him a look that said she was not buying it.

"Yes, Seriously, Mom!" Rocky said exasperated. "I'm going to bed now okay?" The ranger turned and began to walk up the stairs.

"When do I get to meet this girl of yours?" She called after him.

"Goodnight Mom!" He said not answering her question. She smiled as she watched him escape to his bedroom. The former Red Ninjetti Ranger closed the door behind him and preceded to get ready for bed. Tomorrow he was going to see Aisha for the first time in 6 months, and knowing Aisha she wouldn't give up until she found out what was bothering him and causing their Ninjetti bond to Spasm.

Adam, who was his best friend, besides Aisha, hadn't caught on to his feelings. Aisha was on the other side of the world, and hadn't seen him face to face in 6 months. Yet, she knew that he needed her, needed his friends. The Green Zeo Ranger was so infatuated with Tanya the yellow Zeo Ranger( who was Aisha's replacement on the Power Rangers Team) that He had failed to notice how his best friend had been doing. Rocky felt as if he was now invisible to the others. Maybe it would be better if they found a way to give Billy back the Blue Ranger Powers. They'd probably be better off then.

He chastised himself for thinking that way, for feeling those things. They were supposed to be his friends. He snorted to himself and scoffed. "It seemed like he only had one friend Aisha. He cleared him mind and climbed into bed attempting to get some sleep before tomorrow morning.

After her call with Rocky ended Aisha immediately contacted Zordon. "Hey Zordon, Hey Alpha!"

"Hello, Aisha!" Zordon's booming voice responded. "Is something troubling you?"

"Yeah, you could say that. Can you teleport me to the command center? It's really important Zordon. I have to speak with you."

"Very well," He replied. "Are you ready for teleportation now?"

"Yes, Zordon I'm all clear." She told him, checking her surroundings.

"Good, Alpha lock onto Aisha's coordinates and teleport her here."

"I'm on it Zordon." His robotic assistant replied. He pushed the buttons on the console for her teleportation. Aisha disappeared in a yellow light and appeared a moment later in the Power Chamber.

"Aye yi yi! Aisha, it's so good to see you again!" The robot responded hugging her.

The former yellow Ranger smiled, returning his hug. "You too Alpha and you as well Zordon." She turned to the intergalactic being.

"As much as I enjoy seeing you again, I have a feeling this is not a social call."

"You're right Zordon. I noticed today that Rocky's Ninjetti bond was spasming. I could feel that he needed me. I need to speak with him. We're planning on meeting tomorrow morning in Stone Canyon to talk. I wouldn't have asked you to bring me here if it wasn't important Zordon."

"I understand, This is very disturbing news. You have my permission to teleport to here and back from Africa as much as you need to. There is something that I must tell you Aisha."

"Yes, Zordon?"

"Your Spirit animal, the bear, and Rocky's spirit animal the Ape are connected in the same way as Tommy's Falcon and Kimberly's Crane are."

"What do you mean?"

"You are Soul Mates, Bonded for life. The two of you were meant to be together, that is why you could feel that he needed you here. Much like Tommy and Kimberly when they separated it was very hard for them. Katherine has immediately stepped into take Kimberly's place in his life, distracting him from the feelings of loneliness due to the separation."

"I know that she took on her pink Ranger Powers, but what do you mean taking her place in his life?" She frowned, She wasn't sure that she was liking where this conversation seemed to be heading.

"A few months ago Kimberly wrote a break-up letter to Tommy. Katherine has immediately taken over as being his new girlfriend, replacing her as every role Kimberly was in his life."

"What? Why would Kim do that Zordon? It doesn't make sense. Kimberly loves Tommy and he loves her. It doesn't sound like her at all!" Aisha shook her head.

"Much like you and Rocky, her separation from Tommy is hurting her greatly. She thought that if she broke up with him that it would be better for both of them. She believed that he would be much happier and better off without her."

"That's crazy!" Aisha told him, "And how could Kat just do that to Kim? After everything that she did to her, Kimberly forgave her instantly and trusted her with her Power, and then she just steals her boyfriend?" She looked outraged.

"Calm yourself Aisha, Getting upset will not help the problems."

She let out a sigh, taking some deep breaths. "I know, Sorry Zordon."

"It is understandable that you would be upset with her being you female best friend out of the Rangers."

Aisha frowned remembering something that Rocky had mentioned. "Zordon is Billy here? Rocky mentioned that he's been practically living here recently."

"No, I insisted that he go home and get some well deserved and needed rest."

The yellow Ninja let out a sigh of relief. "Could you keep this between the three of us?" She gestured to Alpha, Zordon and herself. "Rocky isn't ready yet to let the other know what's going on with him, as well as my visit."

"Don't worry Aisha!" Alpha responded, "I won't tell them."

"I will not tell the other Rangers; Unless it starts affecting their teamwork and fight against the Machine empire, then I will be inclined to tell them."

"Thank you Zordon," She said gratefully.

"You're welcome." He smiled Warmly at her. "I'm sure you must be tired, You may rest in the infirmary."

She gave him a grateful smile, taking her backpack and going to rest in the infirmary. She placed her backpack on the ground by one of the cots. She laid down to rest trying to pass the time. She would meet with Rocky tomorrow. The previous yellow ranger was determined to figure out what was going on with him. She briefly thought about giving Katherine a piece of her mind tomorrow. Rocky was her priority though, then she would concentrate on lecturing Katherine Hillard for her actions against her predecessor. Also, talking to Kimberly would have to be her priority as well then she was going to stick it to the other Rangers. The originals and most of all, and Tommy.

"They should have seen it. They should know Kimberly better than that." Aisha said to herself. "It's not like Kim at all. They should have seen that something was seriously wrong. I haven't know her as long as Billy, Tommy, Trini, Jason, or Zach; but I know her well enough to know that Kim is not Cold-hearted. She would never in her right mind break-up with someone over a letter." The yellow Ranger took some deep breaths and closed her eyes, drifting into a dreamless sleep.
