"Cassie, there is an incoming message for you," DECA announced to the Pink Ranger.

   She lifted her head from her resting position on top of the console on the bridge. "Who is it from?"

   "Billy Cranston of Aquitar."

   She lifted an eyebrow curiously. "Who is Billy Cranston?" she inquired.

   "Running scans." After about a minute, DECA responded with, "He was the first Earth Blue Ranger and helper to the Zeo Rangers. He left Earth for Aquitar after he developed a side effect to one of his experiments. All records indicate that he has been helping the Aqutian Rangers defend their planet."

   "Play," Cassie ordered. The bridge screen snowed for a second, then cleared. A maybe nineteen-year-old face came on-screen.

   "Cassie Chan?" he inquired.

   "Yes. What can I do for you, Billy?" she asked.

   He smiled. "It isn't what you can do for me, it's what I can do for you. I presume that you know of the Phantom Ranger?"

   She was puzzled. "I do."

   He sent her a sly grin. "Well, I know him also, and right now he is on Aquitar. Right now, he has no idea that I'm contacting you. If he did, he would probably kick my butt back to Earth."

   "Ah, sorry Billy, but I still don't know why you've contacted me," she said awkwardly.

   "Sorry, I've got a habit of rambling on. Anyway, all he's said about the current Earth team is that you are the Pink Ranger. And that you're a great girl. And that he blew it with you."

   "But…" Cassie continued, knowing that there was something still to say.

   "But…for all his skills on the fighting front, he's got guts that could fit in your left eye and wouldn't hurt your vision when it comes to girls." Cassie raised an eyebrow at the slightly strange analogy. "I'll get to the point. I want to set you up with him."

   Cassie couldn't have been more surprised. "Whoa. Slow. Down. Brake. And. Rewind. You want to set me up with the Phantom?"

   "Yeah. He's…I don't know exactly how to put this…but he's either heartbroken or melancholy every time I see him. Evil's been destroyed, so you've got to be the reason."

   "Ah, Billy, one problem. I have no idea who the hell…heck the Phantom is or what he looks like!"

   He looked puzzled. "Oh, yeah, he told me I was the third person to know. But anyway, he's coming back to Earth…"

   "Back to Earth? He's from Earth?" Cassie questioned.

   "Yeah, lived in Stone Canyon and Angel Grove actually. He's going back home on Saturday, so that's when I want you to meet him."

   "Again, how will I know who he is?" Cassie asked.

   "You won't. It's a guy, obviously, he knows me…and I probably shouldn't tell you this, but call him Kermit and he'll respond to it." Billy gave her a wink. "Or of course you could just ask everyone who went to Angel Grove High if they're the Phantom Ranger." He shrugged at her. "It's your choice."

   Cassie brushed down her blouse anxiously, all the while looking around for anyone acting suspiciously. It was Saturday, and why she was in the park was anyone's guess. She walked around for a while, studying the various people and families walking and having fun, not worrying about anything. Especially not if some mysterious Ranger will show up to determine the rest of their life she thought wryly. She sat on the bench nearest to the lake, and watched the rippling water.

   "Billy, where is Phantom?" she said softly.

   "In front of you."

   Adam couldn't believe his eyes. Sitting in front of him was the one girl he had wished for, for what seemed like eternity. He nervously smoothed down his black shirt before he remembered that he had invoked his invisibility projection. All of the visibility and demorphing and invisibility and morphing lately was tearing his nerves apart. He heard a sound coming from her and bent closer to hear it.

   "Billy, where is Phantom?" she whispered.

   He thought nothing, only reacted. "In front of you," he said softly, going down on bended knees.

   Cassie gasped, then hesitantly reached out her hand in front of her. An invisible hand grabbed it and held it gently.

   "Phantom?" she whispered.

   "Do you doubt your ears, Cassie?" a voice asked.

   She swallowed. "Can I see you?" she asked.

   He took a deep breath. "Not here. There would probably be a panic if I materialized out of thin air." He lifted her hand so it was pointing towards the nearby woods. "I'll meet you there in two minutes."

   Cassie hurried over to the shady woods as fast as she could. Finally she was going to see the Phantom Ranger, unmorphed. She got there quickly, and leant against a tree for support. Suddenly through the trees she saw a black figure spinning. She moved closer, curious.

   "Hi, Cassie," the figure said, without stopping the fast motions. She was confused; she didn't recognise him but his voice was familiar. The black whirling person finished, the last movement being a launching kick which took him less than a metre away from herself. He turned fully to look at her and she saw midnight-black eyes, so dark she could see reflected colours in them. "About time I saw you."

   "Adam?" she questioned.

   He grinned in response. "What? Am I invisible?"

   She was confused momentarily at his choice of words, but dismissed it as she wrapped the former Ranger up in a huge hug. He hugged back just as hard. "It is so good to see you," he said happily as he released her. "How are Carlos and TJ? Are Andros and Ashley an official 'couple' yet?"

   She smiled at his almost childlike enthusiasm. "Yes, Carlos and TJ are alright, and sort-of, Andros and Ashley are in a 'almost certainly but maybe not,' phase. Although he did leave his home planet for her, so that must count for something," she told him as they started walking side-by-side.

   "So he actually left KO-35 to be with her?" he asked, something akin to…respect? slight astonishment?…in his eyes.

   She nodded. "Zhane came along, too, as well as Karone."

   "How is Karone?" he questioned. "I mean, knowing what she did as Astronema must be pretty hard. Dealing with the fact she tried to kill her brother."

   "She seems to be holding up fairly we…how do you know what Karone used to be?" she asked, whirling around to see him face-to-face. "How do you know she's Andros's sister? And how do you know where their home is?"

   Adam swallowed. Suddenly he thought he'd rather be back on the unnamed planet still fighting the army upon army of relentless fighters he faced during the Countdown, instead of standing here in front of a woman who didn't even come up to his nose and who weighed a good twenty kilos less than him. "Um, I think I hear my friend…calling," he excused himself hurriedly.

   Adam was almost home free when her voice rang out, "Hold it!" He stopped and turned, resigned to his fate. She marched up to him. "How…do…you…know…all…this?" she asked, punctuating her sentence by a poke to the Korean boy's chest every word.

   "Um…magic?" he guessed, rubbing his nose.

   "Magic, huh?" she repeated scornfully.

   He sighed. "It is magic. Magic, power, and a couple of up-to-date passwords."

   Her beautiful skin wrinkled as she tried to make sense of what he had said. Mentally Adam flicked the invisibility switch.

Hey, people. It's me, Dingo. Anyway, since fanfiction.net won't let me do this separately, I had to upload this chapter again.

Question: I have a series that needs a new Ranger. She (it has to be a she) (men get too many powers on Power Rangers anyway) needs a name. If you look    , you can see a little box. Click that box and write a name I could use. She's the Purple or Brown Ranger, she has long brown hair, she's in Turbo and she's involved with Adam. (By the way, all Turbo that I write has Rocky still there unless I say otherwise.)
