'Damn it. Come on, Tanya. Let's give Tommy a try.' Ashley thinks.
"Hello?" Tommy's gentle voice reach's In Space Yellow's ears.
"Tommy! It's Ashley. Can we talk?" She asks the man.
"When and where?" He asks. The girl sighs in relief.
"Today? Dinner?" Ashley questions.
"Deal. Alone or do you mind if I bring someone with me?" Tommy asks. That piques Ashley's interest.
"You can bring someone," Yellow says to the former Red Ranger. Tommy chuckles. Ashley keeps herself busy until dinner. She sees the time and gets ready.
"Ashley, dinner," Cassie calls out. The dirty blond girl sees the group and smiles.
"Sorry, Cas. I have plans." Ashley tells her Pink.
"A date?" T.J. asks. Ashley bites her lip.
"More like a meet and greet," Ashley tells them.
"Everything okay, Ashley?" Andros asks his Yellow. She smiles at him.
"Yes. I got to go. Sorry!" Ashley calls out, rushing out, leaving the In Space team confused and worried. She goes to a small Italian restaurant and sees Tommy and another man. She goes to them.
Tommy's wearing Green, while the man is wearing Red. Ashley doesn't know that much about Tommy but knew that he was Zeo and the first Turbo Red. The man in Red sees the wonder and chuckles at her curiosity. Ashley can see the warmth in the Red's eyes, and she feels nervous and scared but trusts the two men. Tommy smiles at the girl.
"What's wrong? Is everyone alright? Your new Red treating you alright?" Tommy asks the girl, comfortable talking about the Power Rangers with the man next to him. Ashley smiles at the man. The Red looks at him with wonder.
"T.J., my replacement, was replaced by another Red. T.J. is the In Space Blue," Tommy explains, and the man nods in understanding.
"Ashley, this is Jason. The Mighty Morphin Red and Zeo Gold. Jase, this is Ashley, the second Turbo Yellow and In Space Yellow." Tommy introduces the two. Jason and Ashley shake hands.
"What's wrong?" Jason asks the girl.
"The team is alright. Once Andros, the Red, realized that we were on his side, he's opening up more. It's just. I don't feel like I belong." Ashley explains to the two men. Both men smile at the girl.
"Not everyone will feel like they belong to the team. Trini, my Yellow, felt like she couldn't be a Power Ranger because of how peace-loving she is. Violence was never her way, but once she found out that there was no other way to defeat Rita, she was quick to defend Earth. Tommy didn't feel like he belonged after Rita brainwashed him. You have to find your balance within yourself to know that you belong with your team." Jason tells the girl.
"Kat didn't feel like she belonged after taking Kim's place. However, Ashley, you are amazing. Cassie might be the heart, but you are the head. You are open and accepting to the unknown, more than anyone I have ever seen. You are quick to help others and will get your hands dirty if you have to. You belong to the In Space. Tanya knew that you would be great. Without you, who would open the Red's heart?" Tommy continues. Both men see Yellow's struggles and want to assure her that she's doing great.
"Yellows are the level heads and peacekeepers. You are level-headed and a peacekeeper. You keep everyone from fighting." A voice comes from behind. Ashley sees a pretty Asian woman and a handsome African-American man. The Yellow see both Green and Red grinning.
"Trini! Zack! How are you two?" Tommy questions the two teammates. Zack hugs Ashley and kisses Tommy's and Jason's cheek. Ashley looks at Trini, and the two Yellows hug. Trini kisses Tommy and Jason.
'This is the Mighty Morphin Yellow. She's stunning.' Ashley thinks.
"We're good. So who is this?" Zack asks. Tommy smiles at Ashley as he was encouraging her to speak for herself. She takes a deep breath.
"I'm Ashley. The second Turbo Yellow and the In Space Yellow." Ashley introduces herself. Zack and Trini smile at the girl.
"I'm Trini, the first Mighty Morphin Yellow. It's nice to meet you." Trini introduces herself.
"I'm Zack, the first Mighty Morphin Black. Pleasure." Zack grins, and Ashley smiles. The five ate dinner, and Ashley gets advice from Trini, Tommy, and Jason. The younger Yellow can see Trini and Tommy being mischievous and Jason sternly looking at them to behave. Zack's talking, and Jason throw food at him. Tommy and Trini look to Ashley and sees the confidence back. Jason and Zack pay for dinner, and they give walks outside. Ashley hugs the four with a big smile.
"Thank you, Tommy. Jason, Trini, Zack, thank you. You four are fantastic. I needed that. Thank you." Ashley hugs the four again and sees her team waiting for her. The Yellow looks to Tommy, who nods and smiles at the younger girl. She rushes towards them with a smile. Trini, Zack, and Jason look at their Green and to the In Space team and smile.
"She's do great." Trini comments.
"She has a good team," Zack replies.
"She has support from past teams to help. What happened to Tanya? This was her responsibility." Jason questions his Green. Tommy frowns.
"Tanya didn't answer, so she called me. I told them if their colors don't answer, contact me. Honestly, I'm too tired to deal with Zeo right now. If they don't want to do their jobs, they should never have been Power Rangers. Thank Kim for that." Tommy answers bitterly.
"Kim had your best interest at heart. Billy and Kim should have told you about the relationship a long time ago. That's not fair to you. I'm sorry that you had to found out that way." Trini explains. She's angry with Pink and Blue for doing this to her Green, but all three are her friends and support all three.
"That is why Tommy is going to MIT for school," Jason answers for the Green. Red, Yellow, and Black did not pick sides but can tell that Green is hurt that no one chose him. Zeo chose Kim and Billy, and Tommy was their Red, but no one was on his side. He respects Jason, Zack, and Trini, for not picking sides, but it hurts.
"Do you want me to come?" Jason asks gently.
"No. I know that you didn't pick sides, but it felt like you picked Kim and Billy to me. I know that's not true, but I just want some alone time." Tommy answers truthfully. The three cringe at that. The three hug the man.
"Good luck. Call us if you need anything." Jason orders, and Tommy nods.
