Chapter 5
Billy took Trini's hand and looked her in the eyes. "Trini, when I met you, I felt my whole life change. I found someone who actually understood me and liked me for who I was." He watched as she smiled and looked at their hands. "Even though I seemed to have an interest in other girls, I could only picture myself happy with you by my side."
Trini felt the tears forming in her eyes. " You really mean that Billy? I always thought you were waiting for the right girl."
Billy smiled. "I was. I was waiting for you. We have been through so much that I thought I would never get a chance to be alone with you, until you came back from Geneva."
"But why didn't you tell me before I left? I would have listened to you." Trini knew that he was shy. But why not do it when saying goodbye?
Billy looked at his feet. " I know you would have but you would be gone for a year or more. I didn't want to say something and then find out later that you or I had met someone else." He looked at Trini and saw the tears running down her cheeks. "What's wrong?"
Trini couldn't stop the tears, nor did she try. "I'm sorry Billy. I should have listened to Kim. She knew how you felt and told me that you needed time to think things through." Kim is going to get me for telling him.
Billy was confused. "Time to think what through?"
Trini laughed as she wiped her tears away. "Anything that has to do with girls. She said your little dino brain was taking over your genius human brain when it came to girls."
Billy smiled. Kim always loved teasing me about that mental difference! Well, if Trini can tease me about it, then I can play her little game. "That may be true but my wolf side is much more of a crafty genius."
Trini smiled as a thought came into her head. "Don't wolves and dogs hate cats?" She winked at him before standing up and walking toward his door.
Billy was shocked. What does she mean by that? Then he remembered Trini's yellow Saber-toothed tiger. He got up and ran to stop her from leaving.
When Billy ran in front of her and closed his door, Trini smiled. "What's the matter wolf-boy, afraid to let the cat out of the bag?"
Billy smiled at her teasing. Two can play at this game! "For your information, I hate cats. I prefer to chase tigers." He grabbed Trini and pushed her up against his door.
Trini gasped. He's never acted this way before! "You prefer tigers huh? Well, I happen to know one that could tear you to pieces."
Billy laughed. "I'll have to take my chances." He cupped her face in his hands and pressed his lips to hers.
Trini moaned in delight. "I hope you know that I happen to love wolves," she whispered. After he pulled back from hearing those words, she pulled him back in for a deeper, longer, more passionate kiss.
After pulling away for air, Billy looked at Trini. "You love wolves huh? Well, I love tigers." He smiled and put his arms around her waist. " And I love you."
Trini smiled through her reforming tears. " Billy, I have loved you since the day we met. " She put her arms around his neck and gave him a hug, pulling him tightly up against herself.
Billy hugged her back. "I'm really going to miss you while I'm gone."
Trini sighed. "I'll miss you too. Promise me that you will let me know how you are doing and when you will be coming home?"
Billy nodded. I promise. I won't let my tiger down." In fact, I have special plans for her while I am away.
Trini looked at her watch. "I hate to break this up but my roommate will be back in 30 minutes."
Billy sighed. Yeah, and I still have to take Alex to see Zordon. He had an idea. " But we still have a few minutes left." He said as he got up and walked over to his desk.
"What do you have in mind?" Trini could tell Billy was thinking of something as he got something out of his desk drawer.
Billy looked at his camera. If something happens to me while I am gone, I want her to have something to remember me by. "Well, I want to give you something before I go."
"A picture?" Trini saw the camera in Billy's hand. Why does he want to give me a picture? "I already have a picture of you Billy."
Billy set the camera on his desk and aimed it at his bed. Perfect. "I want to give you one of both of us."
Trini smiled as he led her to his bed and showed her where to sit. "Oh really? And what can I give you in return?"
Billy walked over to his camera, set the timer to take two pictures, and then ran over to sit next to Trini. "Nothing. I have it set for 2 pictures so we can each have one to remind us of today."
Trini felt Billy's arms sneak around her waist. " Oh really? I guess I better make them good then." She smiled as she leaned back against his chest.
Billy smiled. This is how it should be. Ok, five seconds. I want to see my Tiger's lovely smile."
Trini heard the camera snap the first picture and waited for the second one. I wish we could stay like this.
SNAP
Billy sighed. "There you go Tiger. Now we both have the same picture." He got up to get the Polaroids that had just been taken.
Trini followed Billy and watched as the pictures developed. Wow, they really are the same picture! Then she made a decision. "Billy, when you leave tomorrow, you won't have to worry about me. I will wait for you to come back."
Billy smiled. "You will?" He wrote something on one of the pictures and handed it to Trini. " I wrote the date, time, and a message on there for you."
As Trini read the message he wrote, tears began to form again. *To my Tiger, I will always love you. Love, Wolf-boy*. "That is so sweet Billy!" She took his picture and did the same thing.
As Trini handed him his picture, he noticed she had written a message on his as well. *To my Wolf-boy, I will love you forever. Love, Tiger*. Billy smiled at Trini and gave her a hug. " I love you."
"I love you too Billy." She sighed as she pulled away and looked at her watch. "I have to get going though." She wiped away the tears from her face. "I'm ready to go."
Billy wiped the tears away from his damp eyes. "Ok, I will let Zordon know." He set his picture down and contacted Zordon. Alpha answered. " Alpha, Trini is ready to go back to her room."
"Thanks Billy, I will set the coordinates and will teleport her in one minute." There was a small robotic sigh as Alpha broke the link.
"Ok, Alpha is giving us one minute." Billy took a deep breath as he considered something. Should I ask her or not?
Trini was confused. "Us?"
"Yeah, something happened lately that I have to research while I am on Aquitar. But I need to ask you something first."
"What is it?" Trini was starting to get curious.
Billy took another deep breath. "If you had the chance to become a ranger again, would you take it? I mean, after the Peace Conferences are over?"
Trini was shocked. "Um, I guess so. I loved it and I miss it. Why do you ask?"
Billy shook his head. "I honestly don't know but it has to do with a vision I had on Phaedos. Dulcea said that the only one who would know about it would be the elder on Aquitar."
Trini nodded. "Oh yeah, I remember you telling me about it." She looked at her watch. "Well, I have to go."
Billy gave her a hug. "I'll keep in touch somehow, I promise."
Trini stepped back so Zordon could teleport her back to Geneva. She looked at her photo. "Every day at the same time, Wolf-boy. I won't forget." She then disappeared in a pale yellow streak.
Billy watched her disappear. "Yeah, same time every day." Well, I guess I should call Alex and take him to meet Zordon. He pulled a piece of paper out of his pocket and dialed the number Alex had written.
