Over the past few months Justin's demeanor has changed. He has a shorter hair cut. He now has crew cut like the one has had for the past 20 years or so since he's been in the military. But every time I asked about his sudden physical appearance he would just tell me it was time for a change which for me that just seemed like it was rehearsed. Because he loved having long hair. Also he would be gone for a few days without telling anybody where he was going. I know he's an adult now but we still worry because of how close each of us are. Whenever any of us would ask where he's been, he would brush of that question too. Then one day he told us he had to be gone for a few months. His excuse was that he was asked to give lectures across the west coast for college science courses. We bought it thinking he was telling the truth. After all he was our little boy genius who graduated college before he was even 20 and never lied unless he was under a spell.

During the time he was gone I covered his classes at his dad's dojo. I jumped at the chance to teach because Mr. Stewart already did enough by teaching some of the classes, owning the place and I just wanted to teach. I mean I was taking a break from my pop star life and studying for the PRAXIS so I could eventually teach in the state of California. The weeks went by quickly while he was gone and once he was back things quickly went back to normal. Well normal for people who have lived the lives that we have lived.

We went back to hanging out as we normally did. We had started our movie night tradition again. After a few months of doing this, my sister, Tiffany, and my best friend, Leigh, were sitting on the couch talking to each other and occasionally to a spiky haired gentleman who was sitting in the chair to the left of them. We were all waiting on one person to join us on movie night: Justin. I was walking around the house nervous as can be waiting for Justin to show up or call to say he was on his way. After a few seconds I heard the familiar jingle on my cell phone that told me that Justin was calling. I gladly ran to the kitchen where I had it and answered, "Hey Justin!"



"Hey Molly," he responded.

I thought this was the best time to tell him and with everyone near to hear me excitedly declared, "Why don't you ask me what you've wanted to ask me for ages, you just might get a different answer!"

"Um, okay," he said with confusion in his voice but quickly recovered, "Molly, why don't you come outside and meet me I have something I've got to tell you."

At that moment knots began to form in my stomach out of anticipation and fear, but I don't know which feeling dominated me the most. So I walked outside to meet him and I noticed that the sky was gray and cloudy outside and just intensified what I was feeling already. Within a few moments I saw a vehicle drive closer to my place automatically thinking that it was Justin. But the closer it got to her the more it didn't look like Justin's car though it did look like a military jeep. Eventually the jeep stopped right in front of me and Justin popped his head out of the rolled down window. Even though at this point I was thinking, "What the Hell is he thinking?! And is this some sort of practical joke he's pulling on me because if he is it's not funny and I'm going hurt him really badly when it's over with!" I kept on smiling as I usually did and trying not to think the worst.

"Hey Molly," Justin said as casually as he usually did. He wasn't dressed in his normal clothes instead he was in army garb that I was familiar with but even with all that familiarity I did not feel comfortable.

"Hey Justin. What's up?" I asked him then said coolly to the other guys with him, "Hey."

They responded with, "Hey Molly." And just kept staring at me in awe as if they couldn't believe that someone like Justin would know, well, me and combined with the look guys get when they're distracted by a pretty girl. Upon noticing that I just mentally rolled my eyes, because by this time in my life I'm not impressed by this unless, of course, I am interested in that person as well.

Justin began to speak, "So the guys and I were compiling a memory book of sorts to remind us of home. Ya know get quotes and stuff from people we are close to and one of the people I thought about was you." I just stood there taking it all in still not realizing what was happening. He continued, "And do you remember that one quote you always say about music?"

I just nodded my head and began to rack my brain with what I always said about music. But was interrupted by the guys in the truck and we began to laugh at everything we were talking about. Even through all of this I was still thinking about what he wanted, that this was a trick, but the realization of what was happening was slowing creeping in. Finally through all the laughter Justin said, "I remember what you say, 'Music is apparent in all things'."

Then I snapped. I hit the part of the door where the window comes up angrily and hard. Then screamed at Justin, "Forget it! Just for-get It!" And ran without thinking to the place I felt the most comfortable and safe in all the galaxies. I ran past the High School, the Juice Bar, and once I was out of any civilians' sight I used what I could of my Turbo powers in non-morphed form to the remains. The remains of the Power Chamber which brought both happy and sad memories to the surface. I collapsed at the spot where it once stood and eventually cried myself to sleep.

At first everything sounded like it was going great, the next thing I hear is a female voice screaming angrily. Knowing exactly whose voice it was: my cousin, Molly's. I gave her a few minutes to come running back inside to rant and rave to anybody who would listen about what happened but she never came back into her house. After a few minutes I began to get worried and I wasn't the only one because Leighanne whose voice was full of concern said, "Where's Molly?"

As if answering her thoughts Tiffany asked, "Do you think we should go look for her Tommy?"

I replied with, "I think we should. Something's wrong and we should find out."

Both girls quickly agreed. "We should go to the places where she would go like the Juice Bar, the beach, or someplace like that," I added.

We agreed to meet when we would check all the places that we thought she would be, but I had no luck in finding her. Once I was done with my part of Angel Grove, I went back to Molly's house to meet Leighanne and Tiffany. I arrived a few minutes before any of them and when Tiffany arrived I thought Molly had to decided to come back because Tiffany looks a lot like Molly in a really in this case scary way. The only difference is that Tiffany's hair is really long and she's wearing a blue v-cut short sleeved shirt and Molly was wearing a red v-cut ¾ quarter sleeved T-shirt with black flared pants.

Tiffany said when she came to where I was standing, "Did you find her?"

I shook my head. At that moment Leighanne pulled in the driveway and practically didn't wait to stop the car before she got out to run to where Tiff and I were standing. Once she took a few moments to breath she stated tiredly, "I didn't find her and no one has seen her in the past hour. Did you guys do any better?"

"No," I answered for both Tiffany and I. "I should call one of the guys that is still in town to help us find her," I added as I dug for my cell phone in my pants pocket.

"How about you call Adam? I mean he's one of the few people that would be worried but without being panicky or at least be able to keep his calm," Tiffany offered.

"But aren't T.J., Cassie, Ashley, Carlos, Andros, and Zhane her friends as well. I mean there her teammates and her other best friends," Leighanne stated.



"Well yes they are, but its just that Adam is like an older brother you know. She can go to him like she would go to Tommy or David our older brother," Tiffany explained.

"Doesn't she do that with Zhane and the other guys and what I don't get is why she overreacted?" Leighanne inquired.

"Well yes, but it's a different but yet similar relationship. Because she can just go to Adam and she doesn't have to say anything and he'll still understand. And that's why we need to find her, but she's probably upset at Justin. It probably won't last, but we won't know until we find out. You guys know her as well as I do. She won't be found until she wants to be found," Tiffany explained and Leighanne nodded her head as if she understood.

I look through my phone list to look for Adam's number and pressed send. I waited for a few moments as it rang before he answered it.

"Adam here," the man stated coolly.

"Adam it's Tommy," I said and continued, "Leighanne, Tiffany, and I need help."

"What do you need help with," Adam asked without any thought about what I was about to ask him.

"Well I don't know what happened entirely. Justin came over and everything seemed to be going great until I heard while I was inside Molly scream at Justin. But she ran to somewhere and she hasn't come back. So what we need your help to find her," I explained.

"Sure, what part of Angel Grove do you want me to check out or would you like me to look around Stone Canyon just in case she went there?" Adam asked.

"Wherever you can look for her man," I said little did I know that Adam was already driving in his car from running an errand. "Besides we've checked out all her haunts."

At that moment Tiffany said something that I didn't expect her to say, "Isn't there another place she would go to that we haven't thought about or that she wouldn't tell everybody she would go like maybe the mountains." Emphasizing the last word as if she knew what was there.

I exclaimed, "What do you know about the mountains?"

At the same time Adam said worriedly, "What did she just say?"

"The mountains with the ruins of something very special to certain people," Tiffany declared again.

"What?" I said shocked.



"The ruins of the Turbo rangers base of command when they were in AG and when my sister was the red on the team," she whispered.

"She knows that Molly was the red Turbo ranger. How does she know that and does she know who else is as well?" Adam asked frantically as was normal for him.

"H-how do you know that, Tiffany?" I asked.

"Tommy honestly something has to be done about your memory. Shortly after we moved and Divatox decided to use people close to the female red who was put under a spell?" she asked with irritation in her voice and giving a knowing look to Leighanne.

"You and Marshall were put under an evil spell. Damn. How could I forget?" I responded. "Marshall broke up with her after that because there was still a bit of the spell lingering and he knew her identity but he hasn't told a soul. That's how you know," I announced.

"Damn, I even forgot about that," Adam said. "But can you blame us every time something like that happens and everything goes back to normal we just sweep it under the rug. Even with Molly being a rookie at the time she caught on quick."

"Yeah, no kidding," I stated.

"Well actually I was heading in the direction of the old power chamber and when you told me that I was going to go there anyways," Adam told me.

"Okay great," I said looking at Leighanne realizing she was there and knowing what we had just talked about but she didn't look surprised. "Oh crap."

"What Tommy," Adam asked with concern in his voice.

"Leighanne's here," I explained.

"Uh-oh. Now she knows Molly's other identity," Adam said.

"That's not it. She doesn't look surprised at this information," I relayed to Adam. "And why is that Leighanne?" I asked her.

"Well you know when the fish faces would attack Angel Grove," she started and I nodded my head. "Well Red Turbo came over to help me and she called me Leigh and didn't correct herself. The thing is only one person calls me Leigh and that's Molly and I know her voice. Plus I watched the same Red ranger help Mrs. Johnson and heard her almost call her Mom and then corrected herself and she did the same thing when she was helping Mr. Johnson." Leighanne explained.



"To be honest I think that's how mom and dad know, too. I was there on the occasions she did that. Trust me when Red got out of earshot we would laugh our butts off," Tiffany said with a laugh.

"So she didn't tell you?" I asked.

"No, I found out on my own and asked her about it after Angel Grove did the Spartacus thing for the Space team," Leighanne said as if she was stating the obvious.

I nodded my head and asked Adam, "Did you get that? Oh and thanks by the way for helping."

"No problem. Besides we need to help Baby Gurl Red whenever she needs it and lets us. Just like when she helps us. Oh yeah I understand how Leighanne found out. I surprised our parents aren't that attuned to their senses as hers are or do the have that selective memory/hearing thing that friends and family of superheroes tend to acquire," Adam said.

"Yeah it makes you wonder. If you find out anything let us know," I told him.

"OK, I will. Bye," Adam said before we both got of the phone.

Second A/N: I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Boy wasn't that a surprise. Plz read and review. By the way, I will be working on the next chapter of this and any other story I'm working on at the moment but it might be a long while until they are posted because I just started the fall semester at college and I've got a load of music classes and a math class. The some of the music classes require practice time outside of class so even though I'm registered with 13 credit hours it's actually like going through 15 to 16 credit hours b/c of all the outside practice time. So enjoy and I'll try to be back as soon as possible.
