Once A Ranger, Always a Ranger

Chapter One

Justin's face contorted a stoic expression upon it, He couldn't believe what he was seeing. On the 19" TV screen was a snapshot of the rangers lifting off towards space. As Justin once again sighed and wondered how they would have gotten that photo when no one was around at that time.

" Unless--" He started " Unless the commander decided to show the others going on a rescue mission?" He thought. That sounded like a legitimate answer to him.

Justin still sat, telling himself that he knew there was a good explanation for this. That alone told him not to bother with it. Justin continued to surf the television; but there was nothing else interesting on at that moment.

Doug, Justin's dad came out of the kitchen with a red stain on his apron. He spilt the sauce on it.

" Dinner will be finished in a few." He told him.Then he let a worried look play across his face." Justin, don't get upset; but I have to be at the office after dinner tonight." Doug told Justin sorrowfully.

" But Da-" He couldn't finish

" I know son, but Mr. Alabaster wants me to come in and go over some ideas with him. This is really important." Doug tried to explain.

Justin looks at his dad sighing. " Ok, I guess, have fun at your little business meeting thing." Justin retorted, running out of the room.

' Justin wait, I'm sorry." Doug looked down as he walked back into the kitchen.

Justin sat on his bed with his knees against his chest. He couldn't believe that his father would just run out on him like that.

" I thought he wanted to spend more time with me?" He thought to himself.

He continued to sit there and look out the window. He saw familiar houses, especially ones that he fought those piranhatron in front when he was the 'little big man'. Soon he knew he would have to leave this place for good. When his dad leaves Angel Grove for the job in another tri-city area.

Justin's train of though was interrupted when his father yelled from down stairs.

" Hey Justin, Dinners ready " he bellowed.

Justin walked down stairs and into the kitchen where the dinner table sat next to the wall. Neither his father or himself spoke the whole time. Justin wished they would just get things over with and move, so he wont have to look outside and remember all the times he had here in Angel Grove.

Oh what was he thinking,of course he would remember,this was his home,his safe haven. When he left it he knew he would be bombarded by memories.

Doug got up enough courage to talk to Justin

" So, how did it go with your friends today? You seemed to rush out awfully quick." Doug asked.

" They wanted me to come with them to say good-bye before they left." He explained.

" Where are they going?" He asked again

" They just went on a little vacation." Justin Replied with a grin on his face.

" Oh, Justin, I called Mr. Alabaster. I cancelled. So we can get ready to pack tonight. We're leaving in the morning.

Justin looked hurt, but glad he may get to spend more time with is dad to bond this way. He finished the supper and helped his dad with dishes.They started packing. It felt good to Justin to be able to bond with his father like this. It was a good Feeling.
