Disclaimer: I don't own the Power Rangers, or the settings where they have
taken place. They are owned by Saban. I don't wish to get sued. The names
of the children and also Cristina are mine.
Setting: Between 1997-2060
F.Y.I: You are going to have to use your imagination a bit. In this story I have it so all the Rangers, new and old know each other for the most part. There are many flashbacks throughout this story also.
I was sitting down in my chair this Sunday morning, reading the paper in my house. My wife was making a blanket for my very first great grand child. I'm 80 years old now, 80, my goodness, where did the time go? The phone rings and I go to answer it.
"Hello?"
"Uncle Rocky?" It was my niece. She sounded upset and I knew what it was about.
"Hey Natalie, what's wrong?"
"Dad died last night." When I hear her say that, I look directly at the ground.
"I'm so sorry. How are your brothers and sisters doing?"
"Ok, I guess."
"What about the grandkids?"
"Not so good, but they will be fine." She sounds like she's ready to cry, but she is holding it together. She is so much like her mother its scary.
"Well listen Nattie, if you need anything just let me know. I'll stop by soon."
"Thanks."
"I'm very sorry."
"So am I. Bye Uncle Rocky."
"Bye Nat.," I hang up the phone and go back to my chair.
"Who was that dear?" Cristina asks me.
"Natalie. Tommy died last night." I tell her. She comes over and hugs me. One tear escapes my eye as she lets me go. I finish reading the paper. "Cris. I'm going to go out for a bit. I'll be back soon." I leave her with a quick kiss on the cheek and I head out the house, and into my car and just drove. I ended up at a very familiar place. I have been here so many times before, but never alone. I am the last of the group and rangers alive. The first to go was Adam and I will be the last. It's kind of scary that all my closest friends are gone. It really makes me think back to my childhood.
Flash Back
"Rocky! Get up! You have got to get to school! Vamanos!" My mother calls to me I groan but reluctantly get up and get ready for my first day at Angle Grove High School. When I get to the school I hear a familiar voice call to me.
"Hey Rocky!" Aisha, my best friend since 5th grade calls to me.
"Hey Aisha, boy am I glad to see you!" I say a bit relieved.
"Same here Rocco!" She says smiling at me.
"How's your day going?" I ask her.
"Great! I love this school. I've already met really cool people!" She says with much excitement!
"That's good!" I tell her. "Have you seen Adam?"
"No, not yet, but we all have lunch together." Aisha tells me.
I look around the hallway and see a really pretty girl who was coming over to us.
"Hey Aisha!" The girl said to her in a very cheerful voice.
"Hi Kimberly. This is my best friend Rocky!"
"Nice to meet you Rocky! You want to come with us to lunch?"
"Yeah!" I said. My god I thought she was beautiful.
When we went to the cafeteria, Adam was already there. Adam and I have been friends since Kindergarten.
"Hey guys!" Kimberly calls to her friends. "This is Aisha, Adam and Rocky. That's Trini, Jason, Zack Billy and my boyfriend Tommy." When she said boyfriend my face fell. It figures shoe would have one. But even so, this is the first day of having my best friends till the end.
End Flashback
"Pop-pop?" My youngest granddaughter shakes me from my thoughts.
"Hi Lana." I smile at her. She's 16 now, and is just beginning to drive.
"Hey dad, you want to teach her how to drive?" My daughter Angela asks. She looks stressed to the max, just like I did when I was teaching her how to drive.
I smirk and say, "I already had my turn to teach kids how to drive."
"I heard about Uncle Tommy."
"Yeah." I tell her, "Gonna happen to us all."
"I know I just miss him."
"Me too Angie."
"Mom, can we PLEASE go?" Lana begs.
"Alright! Bye Daddy." She says as she kisses my cheek.
"Adios!" I say to her. "Hasta Manana Lana!"
"Hasta Luego pop-pop!" I smile as they walk off.
I look out over the crystal blue lake. ahh the lake; this was the one thing I could always come back too. Even after all these years, it has never changed. We have had so many picnics here, and made so many memories.
Flashback
"Lets go swimming!" Adam calls.
"Ok" Kim says with a smile. "Tommy?"
"Ahh what the heck." He says as he takes her hand.
"Aisha and I have to study" Billy says.
"We'll meet ya there." Aisha says to us.
"Ok! We'll see you guys in a bit!" Adam Says. "Rocco, race ya!"
We sprint to the end of the dock and jump off. He beat me, like usual. Though Adam was never quite as strong as me, he sure as hell could run fast.
"Tommy! Kimberly! Vamanos!" I yell to them. They walk over, hand in hand. Tommy jumps in, but Kim just sits on the edge of the dock.
"Come on Kim!" I shout to her.
"I'll be in!" She replied, dangling her feet off the edge. "Just give me a few seconds!"
"No! Now!" Adam yells at her, just seconds before grabbing her feet and pulling her under.
"EEK!" She squeals as she hits the water. "Adam! You're such a jerk!" She says as she splashes him. "OOO! I so hate you!" She says with a huge grin on her face.
End Flashback
I tear myself away from my thoughts and head home Christina would be worried. 3 days later was Tommy's funeral. I am at my last friend's funeral. I went to the coffin, his long hair was down and he was in a suit. I did the honor of laying his communicator in his box. The Rangers were buried with theirs. I walk over to his children; the ones I have watched grow up. Ryan, Jordan, Zack, Anna and Natalie were Tommy and Kimberly's kids. Kimberly, who is much younger than the other 5, is Tommy and Danielle's, obviously named after Kim. I give my condolences to the family and walk out. The graveyard everyone is buried, which I have visited so many times was so cold this day. I go over to the coffin, kneel beside it and whisper "Goodbye old friend." I then stand up and the wind blows through my hair. I read the head stone,
Kimberly Ann Hart Oliver Beloved Mother, Wife and Friend February 14, 1981-April 29, 2015
Thomas James Oliver Beloved Father, Husband and Friend September 20, 1980-March 13, 2060
He lived 45 years without her, sometimes I wonder how he did it. I walk around the cemetery, looking at my friend's gravesites. Our lives weren't always great. We definitely had our share of hardships, but our friendship pulled us through everything. I stopped at Adam's grave.
December 1st 1980- December 26, 2001. Kimberly found him that day.
