"So... tomorrow, eh?"

"Yeah... Just in case we don't-"

"Don't say that! Of course we'll make it. The Power Rangers wouldn't let the bad guys win this easily."

"You saw how the Evil forces totally annihilated them before, right? Who's to say we won't die? Plus, it seems that the Power Rangers have abandoned us, you heard the announcement."

"With thoughts like that, who needs optimism."

"Like you're one to talk. I'm just voicing my thoughts."

"Whatever. I don't want to spend what might be out potentially last moments together fighting, it would ruin the afterlife for me."

"Who's being pessimistic now?"

"Shut up Bulk. What were you going to say before?"

"...You know what, it's nothing important."

"Come on, now you have to tell me."

"Let it go, Skull. Like I said, it's nothing."

"If it was nothing, then you wouldn't be fighting so hard to get me to forget about it, hmmmm?"

"Now you're acting like a child."

"No, you're the one who is acting like a child! Tell me!"

"Fine... just in case we do die tomorrow-"

"Which we won't, because the Rangers will save us."

"You want me to talk or not? Jeez... In case we do die tomorrow, I just want you to know, that I... I really love you, man."

"...Yeah, I love you too Bulky."

"..."

"..."

"Now, if we don't die, we are totally going to forget we had this conversation."

"Naturally. Ow, don't punch me in the shoulder."

"It was a joke."

"A PAINFUL joke."

"Quiet! Do you want the Quantrons to find us? We finally found a good place to hide, and I don't wanna have to relocate in the dark."

"Sorry, sorry."

"Yeah, it's alright."

"...Hey, Bulk. Do you really think that the Rangers have abandoned us?"

"It seems that way. But, I still think that they're looking out for us. After all these years, it's hard to get rid of that hope."

"Yeah, I think they're coming up with a plan to save us all."

"At the risk of revealing their true identities? I'm pretty sure that's rule number one of superherodom. Don't reveal your daytime persona."

"...They would do it to save the town. The Rangers seem like that type of people."

"...Yeah... you're right. But we can't just leave it up to them, Skull."

"What do you mean?"

"We can't go our whole lives having the Rangers fight out battles for us. For one thing, it won't happen, and they won't always be there. Sometimes, you have to take it into your own hands."

"You mean...?"

"Yeah. You know what I mean."

"Bulk, we'll get killed."

"Would you rather be killed fighting, or hiding? I don't know about you Skull, but I'm tired of always running away. If tomorrow's the last day of our lives, we might as well go out with a bang."

"Yeah, you're right! And at the very least, anything we do should give the Rangers time to formulate a plan. They could save everyone else, if worst comes to worst."

"...We'll be heroes, Skull. For once, we'll do something right on purpose."

"I'm excited now."

"Get some rest, even heroes, especially heroes, need their naps."

"Tomorrow, tomorrow everything's gonna change. You ready for it, Bulk?"

"Yeah, I'm ready. I've been ready for a while now. Tomorrow?"

"Yeah, tomorrow."

And with that, the two friends shook hands, before blowing out the fire that had been illuminating their makeshift hideout.

A promise had been made, a promise that was going to change everything.

A/N: Sorta a short chapter, but I think it's alright. I always wondered what Bulk and Skull really talked about before "Countdown to Destruction", and so this came to be.

3 In Space fics in a row? NOOOOOOOOOOOOO!
