The walk to Billy's is longer than usual. Of course, that probably has something to do with the fact that I'm crying my eyes out, taking my time, and mulling over what just happened in the Youth Center.
Those green glowing eyes haunt me. Yesterday they were a beautiful chocolate brown, today they're green and angry. He seemed so nice, but now he's filled with evil, and a desire to kill me and the other Rangers.
I've never understood Rita's need to take over our planet, and now I really don't understand her idea of turning a fellow human against us, let alone someone who was sorta becoming friends with us. We should have been prepared for that possibility, but that leaves me wondering why Zordon never told us about the sixth power coin. Shaking my head, my thoughts drift back to what just happened between me and Tommy.
I made a mistake, thinking I could help him, alone anyways. I shouldn't have sought him out the way I did, and yet, if he was really evil he could have killed me easily in the youth center, even with all those people around. He had ample opportunity to haul me off somewhere, or to transport me to Rita's dark dimension like he did Jason, but he didn't.
It seems to me, now that I'm logically thinking this through – Billy and Trini would be proud of me – there may be enough of the real Tommy left inside of him for us to use that to our advantage. 'I've got to remember to tell Jason that' I think as I start to sprint toward Billy's, which is so much closer than I thought. 'Hang on Tommy, we'll save you!'
I wipe the tears from my face and take a few calming breaths once I'm in Billy's driveway. It won't do for the others to see me in tears, they'll just worry more, and besides, I'm still working past the public thinking I'm the weakest, the tears won't help my cause.
"Hey guys!" I call out, smiling for all of them.
