Nicole sat curled up on her couch in the middle of the night, on the phone, Serena called her up crying hysterically,
"Serena, take a deep breathe and calm down."
"I don't know what to do, I can't figure out who this kid is?" Serena cried.
Nicole gripped the phone tighter, "Serena, You'll find out soon enough, and I got a problem of my own to deal with; the Guardian Crystal, its been losing power and I can't transform for more then an hour, so I've been stuck in the Power Chamber, working on new projects and I'm thinking about semi retiring with your permission of course."
"What about your team leader or your mentor?" asks Serena; clearly changing the subject.
"The time will come when the Turbo team will step down and a new Ranger team is born." Nicole answered, "I don't want to be part of that team, besides I got into College, I won't have time for fighting evil but I will help when I can."
"You have my permission as Heir of the Sliver Throne to semi-retire." Serena granted her request.
"Thanks Serena, oh! how about you and a few of the girls come out for my wedding, I would really love it, if you do?" Nicole asked. Feeling the weight of being an active Senshi off her shoulders.
"Yes, we love too! When are you coming out here and are you flying?" Serena asks
"I'm going to come as soon as I can, Jason won't mind me leaving for a while, The rangers can deal with me gone for that long unless something comes up." Nicole answers. "I can't fight unless its something really wrong happening,"
"I forgot, that I'm keeping you up it must be at least three in the morning," Serena apologized,
"Don't worry about it, I can sleep in you know, well if you think you can survive for the day, I'm going to hang up." Nicole stated fighting back a yawn. "Bye Sere,"
"Bye and thanks for talking me though my meltdown." Serena replied as they hung up the phone.
Nicole put the cordless back on its cradle, and went back into her bedroom, yawning as she looked at the clock, yep it was close to three in the morning. She flopped back down on her mattress and fell asleep,
Selene watched as her princess slept, having to act as the older sister to someone who was older then her by ten minutes back when they were on the Moon, must be tough.
"Sleep well, my princess." Selene murmured as she laid her head back on her paws.
It was noon, Jason let himself into Nicole's apartment with his key, only to find Selene up and watching the tv,
"Good Morning, Jason," greeted Selene,
"Good morning, Selene. Where's Nicole at?" Jason replied,
"Still sleeping, She was woken up by Serena late last night, and had calm her down, because no one w wanted believe her about who Rini is pretending to be."
"and you know who my future niece is?" asked Jason as he walked over to the half open bedroom door,
Selene just nodded her furry head, "So what are you doing here?"
"Nothing, my mom was bugging me about the wedding, and its still months away," Jason answered as he shuddered a little, "She wanted to know who was walking Nicole down the aisle"
Selene looked down, "its still hard for my princess not knowing who her father is, Queen Serenity never talked about her husband, if she could help it, raising twin girls by herself"
Jason nodded,
~~~~~Time skip warning, because the author is running out of ideas~~~~~
a few months had passed, Nicole was standing in the back in the cover of darkness as the first team of Turbo Rangers passed on their powers to a new team, TJ, Carlos, Ashley and Cassie, with Justin staying on as the blue ranger, once Tommy given his reasons for choosing TJ as his replacement, it was Nicole turn to speak, she was in her true form.
"Some of you know me as plain old Nicole Hunter, but I'm not who you think I am," Nicole began to explain, as she step into the light, making the four new rangers gasp, "First; I would like to welcome you into the Power Ranger Family, but also I would like to explain by taking the choice to become rangers, you also agreed to be part of my family, I am not from this world or this time period, I came from the past before the Rangers ever existed, its because of my actions in the past that gave birth to the earth's power rangers, I have grown in more ways then I thought possible since coming here, I am taking this time let you and my friends know, that I'm retiring as an active Sailor Guardian, because of my powers, but if you really need my help, Justin knows where to find me, for now I'm going to be in Japan, helping the other Sailor Senshi as best as I can,"
"I will miss you my friend," Zordon stated, "I hope to see again someday,"
"I as well, my old friend." Nicole replied before opening a gateway to the Hino Shrine in Japan,
"Nicole, when are you coming back?" asks Tommy,
"I'll be back in a two weeks, I have stuff to do out here, but I want to see my niece again." Nicole answered.
