Some Things Haven't Changed
He was at the Youth Center, working out.
He could feel the two girls watching him.
They were sitting at their table. The one in the center of the Youth Center. The one she had dubbed the Rangers' Table.
The tall blonde was wearing pink and the African-American was in yellow. He could see the communicators. They must be Kim and Aisha's replacements. Kat and someone.
He didn't know.
Adam and Rocky walked up to them.
He frowned. Adam was in green, Rocky in blue.
What happened to Billy?
He kept his face hidden from the four so the boys wouldn't recognize him.
He wasn't ready to face any of them just yet. Not after what they had done.
Beep, beep, beep-beep, beep beep.
He heard the familiar six-toned beep and glanced at them out of the corner of his eye.
He almost laughed out loud as they surreptitiously glanced around before ducking into an empty hallway.
Were we always that obvious? How did no one ever pick up on who we were?
A few minutes later, he noticed Ernie watching the fight on his TV.
At least some things haven't changed.
He left the Youth Center, idly wondering who the new Red was now that Rocky was Blue.
And what happened to Billy?
He headed home, seeing the giant monster and Megazord fighting high above the city. He sighed again.
Even the Megazord was different.
Was nothing safe from change anymore?
