Chapter 7
Billy checked his bags one last time. Well, I'm all set. Too bad the gang won't be there to see me off tomorrow. He looked at the picture of his friends that was on his desk and got an idea. " That's it!"
He ran to the desk and got his notebook and a pen. I'll just write them each a little note and leave them in Kim's mailbox before I leave.
Billy looked at his backpack that was carrying the cylinder and blue stone. "How do I explain this to Trini and Zack if these stones are what I think they are?" He suddenly turned as he heard a sound at his door. "Hey, dad, what's wrong." He was suddenly glad he told his dad all about being a ranger and where he was really going.
Mr. Cranston walked into the room and looked at the picture of Billy and his friends. "They're really going to miss you."
Billy smiled. "I know they will, that is why I am writing them each a note." He saw his father's frown. "You know, I never thought I would travel to a distant planet." Well, make that 2 planets. "I'll miss you the most."
Mr. Cranston gave Billy a hug. "I'll miss you too. Remember, Kim will relay any messages between us. I think Jason said he would as well." I can't believe he is actually leaving this planet!
Billy nodded as his father got up to leave. " I love you dad." He smiled as his dad nodded. "I'll be back as soon as I can."
Mr. Cranston nodded. "I know you will Billy. I love you too." He walked out the door and headed towards his room. I still can't believe my own son was a Power Ranger!
Billy sighed. I wonder if I should tell Trini about the stones now or wait. He knew Kim would tell her anyway so he decided to write Trini a letter. I'll write hers after I write the notes to the others. Billy started writing the notes.
*Kim, Give these notes to the others, I would've sent an email or something but this way all of you can read your notes together. I prefer that everyone read their notes at the same time, preferably after school. You will see why. Thanks, Billy*.
Well, there is the main one, now for the rest. Billy turned on his stereo so he could listen to something while he wrote. "This should give me the focus I need to get these all done without tiring." The sounds of his favorite era of music wafted out of his stereo speakers as he wrote the first note to Kim.
It's been a hard days night
And I'm working like a dog
Billy laughed. Perfect for me! He continued writing his note to Kim. As he finished up, he realized he mentioned something he never thought he would mention again. He wiped away a tear from his eye. "This really is a hard days night!"
Well, one down and 7 to go. Billy sighed as he started a note to Tommy. I guess I should tell him about the adjustments I made to the zords. I think he will like it. He listened to some more favorites coming from his stereo.
I been all around this great big world
And I seen all kinds of girls
Yeah, but I couldn't wait to get back in the states
Back to the cutest girls in the world
Billy smiled. Yep, we do have the cutest girls out here. He looked at the note he was writing. "Well, I guess you are finished. That leaves only Aisha, Jason, and the combined one to Cori and Alex." He couldn't believe he had finished all the others so fast.
Billy listened as the DJ put another old song on. Man, if only I had a tape in. I love these songs. I miss listening to them. "Ok, I think I will do Jason's last since his will most likely be the longest. I have a few things to tell him."
As Billy started on Aisha's note, he thought about Jason. How do I tell him how I feel? He probably knows but I need to be able to let him know exactly how I feel. Another song came out to him from his stereo. "That's it! That is exactly how I feel!"
If it seems like I've been lost
In let's remember
If you think I'm feeling older
And missing my younger days
Oh, then you should have known
Me much better
Cause my past is something that never
Got in my way
Oh no
Still I would not be here now
If I never had the hunger
And I'm not ashamed to say
The wild boys were my friends
Oh
Cause I never felt the desire
'Til their music set me on fire
And then I was saved, yeah
That's why I'm keeping the faith
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Keeping the faith
Billy listened to the song as he wrote his notes. Finally he got to Jason's note and started writing. This song says it all! Well, the parts that actually pertain to me that is.
You can get just so much
From a good thing
You can linger too long
In your dreams
Say goodbye to the
Oldies but goodies
Cause the good ole days weren't
Always good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
You know the good ole days weren't
Always good
And tomorrow ain't as bad as it seems
Billy sighed as the song ended. If only Jason and Kim had heard that! He glanced at the note he was writing. "Wow, I am almost done already!" As he re-read over what he just wrote, he wiped away the tears forming in his eyes. Only the original rangers knew his secret. Not even Kim would tell Tommy.
He folded up the notes and wrote the names of the person they were intended for. Then he put them all into the envelope he had taped the main note to. He sighed. Well, now for Trini's letter.
Billy got another envelope, addressed it to Trini and put the proper number of stamps on it to send it overnight express. Then he got a piece of paper and began to write. Hmm, this is really weird. My final goodbye letter to Trini is my first love letter. Billy smiled as he thought about all the times he had wanted to write her a love letter.
Suddenly, Billy's communicator started to beep. He put his paper and pen down and tapped his communicator. "Billy here." Who would be contacting me besides Zordon?
Alpha couldn't wait to tell Billy the good news. "Aiy yi yi Billy. We need to tell you something about those stones."
Billy was shocked. "Like what Alpha? Do you want me to teleport there?"
Zordon's voice came over the communicator. "No need Billy. This shouldn't take too long. When you get to Aquitar, the elder will give you 6 wires for the stones. I have contacted him about them. They are no ordinary wires."
By now, Billy was confused. "Then what are they?"
Zordon smiled at having confused his young genius. "They are telepathy lines. They help tie the powers of the stones' animal spirits to their beholders mind. The elder will tell you more about them as he trains you."
Billy was shocked by the news. "Train me for what? Does he have to train me to use the wire?"
Zordon laughed to himself. "Billy you were correct about the stones being linked to your ninjetti power from Phaedos. These stones are different in that they are linked to the animal spirits. Each person must be trained to hold his or her animal spirit and be tied to that spirit telepathically."
Billy was surprised. "But how will the others get trained?" He had an idea but wasn't sure about it.
"The elder will train you to use the wires, as well as how to train the others. The blue stone has chosen you and that means that you hold the ability to lead the others and to train them as well." Zordon knew Billy had never led the team but that he had always wished he could be in charge for just once. This should please him and make him feel honored as well.
Billy was shocked yet again. "You mean I am the leader?" Wow, I have never led the rangers. This will be tough.
Zordon laughed to himself. "Yes Billy. And as the leader, it is also your duty to tell the others about the stones. Since the only stone that hasn't chosen its beholder is black, I have an idea who it will choose. There is only one person that has the experience to hold a power like this."
Billy knew right away whom he was talking about. "Zack. I know he would be the chosen one and I know he would accept the challenge of this." He laughed to himself. He never did turn down a challenge!
Zordon smiled. "Yes Billy. He should be back with Trini by the time you return from Aquitar." He still remembered the day he picked the 5 teens to become the rangers. They always felt as if they were his offspring as they grew with their powers. "Billy, I want you to know that the 5 of you will always be children to me. Thank you."
Billy smiled. "Thank you Zordon, we feel the same way. You are like a father to us all, especially to Kim." He frowned as he remembered when they got their ninjetti powers. "We don't want to see you get hurt again."
Zordon smiled. "Thank you Billy. Now I must go. I will monitor your journey so if you need anything just let me know. We will send the co-ordinates of the asteroid shower to you when we get them."
Billy smiled. "Thank you Zordon. Billy out." He tapped his communicator and picked up his letter to Trini. A new song was playing on the radio now. He laughed as he realized it said what he and Trini felt.
I got you to hold my hand
I got you to understand
I got you to walk with me
I got you to talk with me
I got you to kiss goodnight
I got you to hold me tight
I got you I won't let go
I got you to love me so
Billy smiled and wiped away a tear as he read what he had previously written and continued on writing. Hmm, I guess I should have her tell Zack I said goodbye. Otherwise, he will get mad if I don't. He finished writing Trini's letter and sealed it in her envelope.
He then got up, turned off his stereo, and headed for his car. He had just enough time to put it in the mailbox before they picked up the overnight express letters from the post office's outside mailbox. I better hurry though if I am going to get there before they get outside. He ran to his car and drove off.
Billy pulled up next to the mailbox just as the guy was heading to get the mail. "Looks like I made it just in time." He smiled as the guy nodded and took his letter.
"Yep, you sure did. This get send out tonight? I can make sure it gets on the express if that is what you want." He smiled at the young man who didn't seem to be in a hurry. "You must have been busy if you got here this late."
Billy smiled again. "Yeah, I am leaving town for an internship overseas and I needed to overnight express that letter to a friend in Geneva."
The man smiled. "Since you are nice enough, I will personally put this in the box to be mailed out."
Billy smiled. "Thank you sir, I really appreciate it." He watched as the man got the mail and headed back to the post office. "Have a nice evening."
The postman turned and waved to the young man. Nice kid!
Billy drove to Kim's house. She should see this if I stick it in the crack of the door. As he pulled up in front of her house, he saw Mrs. Hart sitting on the porch. He parked his car and walked up to the house. "Hi Mrs. Hart."
Mrs. Hart smiled. "Hi, Billy. What brings you out this late?" She saw the envelope in his hand.
Billy smiled. "I had to overnight express something to Trini and Zack. Sort of like a final goodbye letter." He handed the envelope to her. "This is for Kim. I wrote everybody a note and I was hoping she could give these to them after school tomorrow."
Mrs. Hart smiled. "I will give this to her before she goes to school tomorrow." She watched as he looked around. "You know, we're all going to miss you Billy. Not the kids alone. Their parents will miss you just as much. I know Mrs. Scott and I think of you as our own."
Billy smiled and looked down. "Yeah, I know. I was talking to her this morning. Ever since… well, I'll miss all of you too. Could you tell them all I said goodbye?" He gave her a hug.
Mrs. Hart smiled. "Of course. Now why don't you go home? You have a long trip ahead of you and you need some rest." She watched as he nodded warily. "Let us know how you are doing Billy. We don't want you to get hurt."
Billy smiled. "I will, thank you." He walked back to his car and drove home. Now I can actually rest. He parked his car in the garage and walked up to his room. As he opened his door, he saw a small letter with a picture sitting on his bed. "What the heck!"
Billy walked over to his bed and picked up the letter and picture. His eye widened as he saw the face of his mother staring back at him from right next to his five-year-old self and his father. He slowly opened the letter to read what it said.
*Billy, I know you already packed you things but I just found this in our album and I want you to take it with you. Since it shows the 5 of us, I felt you would want to take something to remember them by*.
Billy looked closer at the picture and saw the small photo he and his mother were holding. I completely missed it! "I completely forgot about that ultrasound!"
Billy suddenly remembered that day as if it had just happened. He wiped away the tears and continued to read his dad's note.
*I'm sure you forgot about this picture being taken because of the outcome of the accident we were in. Mrs. Scott was happy to watch you while I took your mom to the hospital. It seems Kaytee and James just couldn't wait to be born. "I'm sorry we never made it until it was too late. If we had just left a second or two earlier or later, we could have missed being in that accident. Luckily no pedestrians were hurt but we lost 3 close family members. I want you to remember that they will always be watching over us. Be careful on your trip to Aquitar tomorrow. I can't stand to lose you as well. I'll stop in to see you before leaving tomorrow morning. *
Billy wiped more tears away as he picked up the picture and took them over to his bags. I'll be careful. They will be watching over me. He then got ready for bed, took out his contacts, and turned his stereo on. As he set his alarm and sipped into bed, he heard a song that he hadn't heard since his sixth birthday.
Every breath you take
Every move you make
Every bond you break
Every step you take
I'll be watching you
Billy started crying all over again. "I miss you mommy. I wish you could be with me on my trip. Please watch over dad, my friends, and Zordon. There is more than one person but they need you too." He picked up his remote and set the stereo's sleep timer. Maybe the music will put me to sleep. As he closed his eyes, the words of another song came out to him.
It's your song that makes me sing
It's your voice that gave me wings
It's your light that shines
Guiding my heart to find
This place where I belong
It's your song
Billy didn't listen to the rest of the song. Why is this happening to me? Then he remembered his mother's words.
"Billy, your friends and I will always be here for you. They will be going to school in the fall with you. Don't be afraid and they will help you, as I know you will help them. You may not realize it until you are older but they are your best friends and will always be your friends, no matter what."
Billy frowned through his tears. If only she could be here now with the twins. As he did on his sixth birthday, he curled up into a ball and cried himself to sleep, and into an amazing dream.
The three sad faces looked at the young genius as he silently cried himself to sleep. The oldest, a woman, walked to the bed and kissed his forehead. "Goodnight my son, we will always be with you." She turned to look at the 2 children waiting for her. One of them, a girl was carrying something. "Go ahead."
The girl walked to the bed with her brother next to her. They each gave him a kiss on the cheek and she placed a small object on the foot of his bed. Walking back to the woman, she asked, "Why can't we talk to him?"
The woman smiled. "You will, in due time. You must get your telepathy training first." She then took their hands and after one last look at her son and their brother, they disappeared in a twinkle of white light.

Billy frowned through his tears. If only she could be here now with the twins. As he did on his sixth birthday, he curled up into a ball and cried himself to sleep, and into an amazing dream.
The three sad faces looked at the young genius as he silently cried himself to sleep. The oldest, a woman, walked to the bed and kissed his forehead. "Goodnight my son, we will always be with you." She turned to look at the 2 children waiting for her. One of them, a girl was carrying something. "Go ahead."
The girl walked to the bed with her brother next to her. They each gave him a kiss on the cheek and she placed a small object on the foot of his bed. Walking back to the woman, she asked, "Why can't we talk to him?"
The woman smiled. "You will, in due time. You must get your telepathy training first." She then took their hands and after one last look at her son and their brother, they disappeared in a twinkle of white light.
