Disclaimer: As usual, I don't own the characters, just the story. You know
the drill.
AN: Okay, this chapter may be a little long and sentimental to some of you. Just bare with me okay? That's all I ask. I have been pretty busy lately so my mind has been occupied elsewhere. The timeline in case you haven't noticed is changed somewhat. The ninjetti powers are still being used.
AN: as usual, "these are spoken", *these are written*, and these are thoughts . Just to warn you though, I will be skipping back and forth between some things so I will try to write it so you know where it switches. As usual, PLEASE REVIEW! I appreciate the ones I get but I need others to review as well! Now, onto Billy's story. You'll see what I mean.
AN: Just so you don't get confused, this chapter takes place on the day Billy leaves for Aquitar. It basically tells you what his friends did while he was traveling through space.
Chapter 10
As Kim sat with her friends under a tree, waiting for the rest of their small group to show up, she glanced down at the envelope Billy had left for her. What could he have written that he couldn't just tell us? She looked up as someone approached the group. "Hi guys."
Alex and Corinne smiled as they sat down next to Aisha and Rocky.
"Okay, Kim, let me have it." Jason reached down to grab the envelope only to have his hand smacked away. "Oww! That hurt!"
The others laughed as he frowned at his now red hand. Aisha put a hand on his shoulder. "Just chill, Adam said he would get Tommy here on time."
Jason smiled as he looked around for them. "Yeah, if Tommy doesn't force him to be late!" He thought he caught sight of a shadow to his left but saw a cat run out from under a bush. "Hey Alex, did you happen to see them?"
As he said those words, a hand clapped down on his shoulder and twirled him around. "Thought I'd be late again huh?" Tommy laughed as Jason caught his breath and glared at him. "You should see your face bro!"
Jason glared at Tommy. "Don't do that to me man! You know I hate that!" He remembered Tommy's feelings about how Rocky acts around girls and had a sudden idea for revenge. "You know, sometimes I think Kim doesn't deserve you." He sat down next to Kim and put his arm around her. "Now how about those notes babe."
Kim shuddered and then laughed with the others. "Whatever you say Rocky!" She glanced over to see Rocky trying to hold his laughter. "Now that's a scary thought!"
Rocky smiled. "I am not that bad!"
As the others laughed, Kim handed out the notes. "Cori and Alex, there is one that is addressed to both of you." As she handed the last one out, she noticed that everyone moved into their small circle of closest friends. Adam, Rocky, and Aisha sat down near Kat, and Alex and Cori moved in the other direction.
Jason looked at Tommy as Kim sat back to read her note. They nodded, sat down next to her, and opened their notes. I hope this isn't a final goodbye letter.
*Aisha, since you joined the team, I felt like I had found another little sister. I want you to know that I have installed that secret weapon we worked on. Tommy has the specifics. Well, since I don't know how long I will be away, win the Science Fair for me. Your project is very good and I know you can do it. Goodbye. I will really miss you. Billy*
Aisha wiped a tear away from her eye. Billy never really told me he felt that way! She glanced at her oldest friends. They were getting teary eyed as they read their notes. Wow Billy, you really know how to get to people.
*Rocky, remember to keep your cool in battle. I have noticed that you have been getting pretty restless lately. Get some rest and listen to Kim. She knows what it is like to get tired and grouchy from being worn out. I trust her with my life and I know you can too. Take care of Aisha; she really cares about you and Adam. She knows about a secret weapon for the zords. Tommy has the specifics on it. If anything goes wrong with it, she knows that Alpha can help her fix it. Take care Rocky; I'll miss you guys. Billy*
Rocky fought back the tears that were forming and looked at Aisha. Billy sure knows what he is talking about. She looks pretty sad.
*Adam, before you, Rocky, and Aisha joined the team, I only had Alpha and Trini to help me with the technical stuff and Trini could only do so much. You and Aisha really helped me a lot. You both learn quickly and have become just as good as anyone could hope. Aisha knows of a secret weapon I added to the zords so she can help Alpha fix it if something goes wrong. Take care of her. I know you and her are like brother and sister. Trust her to listen to your problems; she will help you sort them out. Kim has helped me with so many things and I know Aisha feels the same way towards you. If you know of anything you guys may need from my lab, just ask my dad. He knows about Zordon and everything else so he will be okay with it. You guys are like family to us so stop in a say hi every once in a while. Take care of him for me. Goodbye. I'll miss you all. Billy*
Adam glanced up after reading his letter and caught a look from Aisha. He moved over to her and gave her a hug as Rocky did the same. I have to talk to them soon. "Hey guys, lets go to Ernie's when everyone gets done. Shakes are on me." They nodded and glanced at the others.
*Kat, I know you think you can't work the consoles at the command center. I know you can. I have seen how you handled them under pressure and without actually knowing what to do. You do know what you are doing. If you ever have any questions, just ask Adam, Aisha, or Alpha. They will be there to help you. Jason and Kim can also help. Just trust your instincts and they will guide you with the powers. Goodbye and good luck. Win your dance competition for me. I'll miss you Miss Kitty. Billy*
Kat smiled through her tears. Even now he still wants to call me that. She wiped away the tears and looked at the others. Adam, Aisha, and Rocky moved over to her and gave her a hug. "Thanks guys, I needed that. Did I hear you mention shakes at Ernie's?" As they nodded, she smiled and looked at the others. Why do Jason and Kim have those long faces? And why aren't Tommy and them reading their notes?
*Alex and Corinne, Neither one of you have been around long enough to know how I feel about the rangers, Zordon, and Alpha. I will tell you one thing. They are like family to me. Cori, you know what Kim and I have been doing to help so I need you to show Alex. You are both capable of helping Kim finish any projects I haven't finished yet. Alex, do your best to help and you will eventually get to know the systems as well as the girls do. Both of you take care of yourselves and each other. You may think nothing of it but I know that the two of you joined the rangers for a reason. If things turn out the way I think they will, then you will both get a wonderful surprise when I return. I'll miss you both. Billy*
Cori and Alex looked at each other and smiled weakly. She could tell he was worried about failing Billy. She smiled and took Alex's hand as they walked over to the group already done reading their notes. "Don't worry, you'll eventually learn everything I know about the systems. These guys can help you too." She smiled at the group.
Kat smiled. "You two want to join us at Ernie's? Shakes on me." She held up a hand to stop Adam from disagreeing. " It is my treat to the newcomers. I was the last newcomer so it is my turn to pay." At the confused looks from Cori and Alex, she continued. "Every time someone joins the rangers, they are bought a drink. This time, it is my treat."
Alex glanced at Kim and Jason. "I think by the looks they have, we should leave them alone. I have a feeling they will need some time alone with each other." As everyone looked at him with confusion, he continued. "Something happened in Billy's past that Kim and Jason witnessed. I have a feeling that he mentioned it in their notes."
Kat picked up on his worry. "Ok then, let's go so they can read their notes and deal with whatever it is." They all stood up and headed for the Juice Bar.
Kim watched the others go before reading her note. She wanted to be alone when she read hers. She glanced at Tommy and Jason and realized they had waited as well. " I take it you wanted to read yours in private too?" As they nodded, she smiled. "Well then, shall we begin?" She watched as they looked at each other before beginning to read. Jason caught her eye and moved closer to her. She smiled and began to read.
*Kim, you are so special to me. We have been through so much in our lifetime that I hate to leave you like this. You will be all right without me there. I know Tommy will watch out for you. He would never do anything to hurt you. For all the times you have helped me, thank you. Since it will be a while before I see you again, I want to tell you something. I love you Sissy K. You are the little sister I almost had. You are actually like a big sister too. You were there to comfort me when I needed someone. Take care of Rocky and Adam; they need someone to be a big sister to them. You have always managed to find a way to get people to do things and to get them done right. Keep doing what you do and I know you will be fine. Take it easy in gymnastics. I don't want to find out that you got hurt again. I'll miss you the most. I'll be sure to keep in touch. Bye sissy K. Billy*
Kim slowly put her note down. Sissy K? He hasn't used that for a while! She wiped the tears from her eyes as she waited for Jason and Tommy to finish. From the looks of Jason's face, he had a similar type of note. She looked at Tommy. My god, Billy got to him too!
*Tommy, I'm sure you will find out about the stones from Kim so I will spare you the story. Take care of Kim, I know you mean a lot to each other. She would do anything for you. Also, I made a modification to the zords. Aisha knows about it so she may be able to answer any questions about it. If you ever need more energy or power when fighting, I have put in a reserve power chamber in each zord. All you have to do is push the white button right next to the steering mechanism. It will allow your zords to activate a metallic shield, or force field if that's what you want to call it. The color of the button will be the color of the ranger for that zord. Take care of the gang, Zordon, and Alpha for me. I'll keep in touch. Goodbye, I'll miss all of you. Billy*
Tommy wiped the tears from his eyes. He looked at Kim and saw her crying. As he put his arm around her, he glanced at Jason. Man, I have never seen him cry, what the heck did Billy say to him?
*Jason, we have known each other since we were born. You are the brother I almost had. Thank you for everything. Take care of everyone, especially Tommy. I know he will concentrate on taking care of Kim so he needs someone to watch out for him. I want you to know that I have made two adjustments to your zord. One of them is a metallic shield. Aisha knows all about it and Tommy has the specifics as well. The second one is only for your zord. Trey helped me design it. Since he gave you the medallion that uses both the Triforian gold and the Morphin gold powers, it would only work with your zord. You see, we still have the Morphin powers within us so that means that you can call on this modification. When using the metallic shield, just call out for the energy saber. This will be more powerful than the other weapons. It will also allow you to connect with their megazord, almost like the dragonzord could connect with our dinozords.* *Don't tell the others though until you need to use it. I figured I would let them have one surprise after I am gone. When you want to connect to their ninja megazord, you can use the energy saber to do the energy blur attack. It makes you speed up to the point that you become invisible as the supermegazord runs at and destroys the monster. Although your medallion and powers use both the Triforian and Morphin powers, it won't use up any extra energy. It is connected to your mental waves. The stronger your will to defeat the monsters, the stronger the attack. Remember this Jason because those monsters have been getting stronger the angrier they get. And remember to take care of Alpha and Zordon. They won't let on to it but I know they consider us as their own children and trust us to keep them safe. Thanks for being the brother I needed BJ. I'll really miss you. Billy*
Jason finished his note and looked up to see Kim in tears. As he wiped away his own tears, he gave her and Tommy a hug. "Kim, we need to tell him." As Tommy pulled away and looked at them, Jason looked at Kim. "I think it's time he knew."
Kim looked down. "I know BJ. He would notice them eventually." She looked at Tommy. "It's about Billy."
Tommy was confused. "What about Billy?" He was really starting to get worried.
Jason pulled a small metal angel from his back pocket. As he held it up, he saw a glint of wonder in Tommy's eyes. "Kim and Billy have ones exactly like it. Well, Kim does, Billy's ." He stopped and looked down.
Tommy was really worried now. "Why do you all have an angel? What happened to Billy's?"
Kim burst into a new set of tears. " I can't tell it Jason, you think Zordon could pull it up for him? I know he did for Trini and Zack."
Jason nodded and reached for his communicator. Before he could contact Zordon, it started beeping. As he looked at Tommy and Kim in shock, he answered the call. "Jason here, what's up?"
Zordon's voice came over the communicator. "Jason, Billy has told me that you may want to show Tommy the memory bank you three made. Is that correct?"
Jason looked at Kim and after seeing her nod, he agreed. "Yes, that is right Zordon. Can we come and watch it now?"
"Alpha has already prepared the room so you can watch it." As he finished, he cut the communication link and teleported them to the command center.
Kim smiled at Alpha as he came out of a room. "Thanks Alpha and Zordon."
"Aiy yi yi. Just let me know if you need anything." Alpha went back to the control panel to study something.
Jason, Kim, and Tommy went in to the room and sat down in the chairs Alpha had placed in there. Kim picked up a small remote and pushed the button. As the holographic screen appeared, she looked at Tommy. "You ready for this? It may be painful."
Tommy looked at Jason who nodded and then looked at Kim. "Yeah, I'm ready for whatever it is."
They all turned towards the screen as the picture started to appear. A young boy was standing with his parents as another couple was taking their picture. The man taking the picture smiled and called out to the boy. "Smile Billy, your mom is going to be coming home with your brother and sister." The young boy smiled as big as he could.
Kim smiled at how silly Billy was acting. He was always so happy with her. "That was the day Billy's mom was going to the hospital to have his brother and sister. It was the day before his eighth birthday." She looked at Jason as he looked down at his feet.
Tommy looked away from the screen. "What happened?"
Kim sniffed and wiped her damp eyes. "Just watch." Jason had looked up to the screen to see and immediately wiped his eyes. Billy was waving to his parents as Jason and Kim walked with Mr. Scott back to the porch to put the camera away.
"This only gets worse bro, so be prepared." Jason couldn't fight the tears that were forming and let them fall. Kim moved her chair over so she was right next to him. She grabbed his hand as they watched the terrible day replay itself. Tommy moved over to the other side of Kim and grabbed her other hand. She is going to lose it, I know she will. He glanced back at the screen as Billy and Mrs. Scott walked back toward the house.
What followed were a beep and a screeching of tires before a loud crash came from the direction of Billy's parents. As Billy ran to the curb with Jason and Kim, Mrs. Scott ran inside to call 911. Mr. Scott turned away from putting his camera away and ran to stop Billy from running to his parents.
Tommy gasped at what he saw next. Mr. Cranston got out of his car and walked around to check on his wife. He couldn't pull the door open so he sat next to the car to wait for the EMT's. "You guys actually saw that?" He looked at his friends.
Kim nodded and whispered. "Yeah, we saw and heard everything after the initial hit. Billy was a wreck." She tried to smile as Jason put his arm around her and gave her a hug.
Tommy looked back to the screen as the emergency vehicles arrived and the EMT's started to pull the victims out. As they got to the Cranstons they tried to push Billy's dad away, thinking he was a bystander. The man pushed back and glared at the EMT. "That's my wife, I'm not leaving until she is out of our car."
The EMT dragged him over to one of the ambulances. "Ok, sir, but you have to stay here and let someone check you out while we work on getting her loose. She is stuck in there pretty tightly." As the man calmed down and let someone check him out, the EMT went back to help the others in getting Mrs. Cranston out. As they cut the door off and pulled her onto a stretcher, Billy and his friends saw the blood dripping from her body.
Billy sank to his knees and cried. "Mommy!" His loud cry got his father's attention from where he had just stepped out of the ambulance. Billy saw him and called to him. "Daddy!" Tommy looked away from the screen to see Kim in tears and Jason on the verge of letting tears fall. "I'm sorry you guys had to see that."
Jason put a hand on Tommy's shoulder. "It's ok Bro, we can't do anything about what happened. We all know that." They both looked back to the screen as Kim silently watched through her tears.
Mr. Cranston stopped one of the EMT's who had helped pull his wife out of the car. "How is she? We were on our way to deliver our twins." He glanced to where his son was watching and calling to him. "Our son is just over there with his friends and I want to go tell him what is going on."
The EMT looked to where Mr. Scott was standing with the kids. That poor kid. "I'm sorry sir but the twins died upon impact. There was a piece from the dashboard that cut right into her abdomen and basically caused them all to lose a large amount of blood. As for your wife, she will make it to the hospital but she may not make it through the night." He looked at the man before him and saw the tears falling. "I'm so sorry. But you can talk to your son and have someone take you both to the hospital to say goodbye."
Mr. Cranston looked at the man. "Thank you for being honest. I will have my friend bring us to the hospital as soon as I have talked to my son about it." He wiped the tears from his face and started walking towards Billy. The look on his son's face told him he heard most of the conversation.
Billy jumped up and started to shake his head. "No, no, no." As his dad walked up to them, he jumped into his dad's arms. "What's wrong with Mommy?" His dad put him down and looked at Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott nodded and gathered Jason and Kim to head toward the house.
As Mr. Scott pulled Jason and Kim into the house to tell Mrs. Scott, Billy and his dad talked about what happened. "Well, you heard the man Billy. She may not make it through the night. I am going to have Jonathan take us to the hospital to say goodbye. Are you going to be ok?" He looked his son in the eyes.
Billy took a breath. "I guess. Will you stay there with me?" As his dad nodded, Kim and Jason came running out of the house and gave Billy a hug.
Kim spoke up before Jason got the chance. " Mr. C, Jason's dad said to come out here until he came back out. He will be taking you and Billy to the hospital."
"Thank you Kim." Mr. Cranston smiled at his son's friends. They will be able to pull him through this. I know they will.
Inside the house, Mr. Scott was talking to his wife. "She lost the twins upon impact and she may not make it through the night. I am going to drive Hank and Billy to the hospital to say goodbye." Mr. Scott gave his wife a hug to calm her down. "We can pull them through this. Kim and Jason will be able to help Billy as well."
Jason smiled as he heard his father's words. Yeah, we did pull them through. He glanced at Kim and saw her smile too. "We did it didn't we Kim?"
"Yeah, we did." She smiled for the first time since she read her note. She turned to Tommy and smiled. "We managed to drag Billy out of his depressed mode by the end of the summer." After he smiled at her, they all looked back to the screen. Jason's dad was coming out of the house with his wife and stopped at the group on the porch.
"Hank, I'll take you and Billy to the hospital. Mary is going to bring Jason and Kim to pick me up." As he saw his friend about to protest to him leaving his car there, he held up his hand. "Annie means a lot to all of us so I am going to leave my car there for you to drive home in. That is, whenever you feel like leaving. You can come here if you do not want to go home yet."
Billy looked at his dad. "Can I stay with Jason for a few days?" He looked at his friend who was anxiously waiting an answer.
Hank Cranston looked at his best friends. After they nodded in approval, he agreed. "Yes, In fact, I think we should all have a little campout for your birthday tomorrow." He looked at Billy. "Your mom was planning on doing that when she got back with the twins. Don't you think she would want you to follow through with it?"
Billy sighed. "Yeah, she would. But it won't be the same."
Jason and Kim gave Billy a hug as Mr. Cranston followed Jonathan Scott to his car. As Billy joined them and they drove away, Jason turned to his mom. "Can I give him something else for his birthday?"
"What do you have in mind Jason?" But Mrs. Scott already knew what he was thinking. "I think I know something the both of you can give him."
Kim looked at Jason. "What's your mom talking about?" She looked back at Mrs. Scott. "Like what?"
Tommy looked at his best friend. "What were you thinking of getting him anyway?"
Jason laughed. "A few years before that, my mom and her sisters each got an angel from my uncle when a close friend died. I was thinking of getting one for Billy because his mom always talked to him about them."
Tommy smiled. "Ok, I guess that would make sense." He turned back to the screen to see Mrs. Scott leaving a store and heading back to where Kim and Jason were waiting in the car. As Jason grabbed the bag to see what exactly she got, Mrs. Scott pulled the bag away. "Not yet young man, you have to wait until tomorrow." Young Kim laughed from beside Jason.
As the car drove away from the store, the scene changed. Kim, Jason, and Tommy exchanged surprised looks at each other. It was obvious to Tommy that Kim and Jason had never seen this before. Mrs. Cranston was lying on the hospital bed with Billy and his dad next to her. They each held one of her hands. Billy and his dad were both trying not to cry so hard. She turned her head slightly to her left and looked at Billy. "Billy, it will be okay."
Billy looked at his mother's face and stopped crying. "But what am I going to do about the science fair this coming year? Nobody else will to help me!" He started crying again.
"Billy, no matter how much you like science, your friends and I will be here for you. You will be going to school in the fall and Jason, Kim, and Trini will be there with you. They will help you and you will help them. You may not realize it until you are older but they will always be your friends, no matter what. I will always be with you as well. Maybe not in person but in your heart." She turned her head and looked at her husband.
"Hank, take care of him. James, Kaytee, and I will be watching both of you." She leaned her head back on the pillow. "I'll miss you. I love you both."
"I'll miss you too Annie." Mr. Cranston pulled her hand up to his face and kissed it. "I love you too." He carefully laid her hand back down on the bed.
Billy clutched his mom's hand as she turned her head slightly in his direction. "I'll miss you too Mommy. I love you." He copied his dad and kissed her hand but after that, he just held it to his face.
She closed her eyes and the heart monitor beeped one last time before it turned into a flat line. Billy suddenly shivered and looked to the ceiling.
Kim gasped as she, Jason, and Tommy all saw something they never thought they would see. They looked at each other before looking back to the screen.
Billy saw two small white balls of light floating just below the ceiling as if waiting for something. As Mr. Cranston looked at what his son was watching, a bigger and bluish ball of light formed over Billy's mom. Father and son watched as it floated up to join the others as they slowly disappeared. Billy found enough voice to say goodbye. "Goodbye mommy." Suddenly the screen went blank.
Kim gasped as she and Jason looked at the now blank screen. "What the heck was that Jase?" Tommy grabbed her hand as they both looked at Jason. Only he wasn't in shock. His smile only confused them. "Jase? What are you smiling at?"
Jason shook himself out of his shock. He didn't even know he was smiling. "Huh? Oh, I remember Billy telling me that he watched his mom leave them." He smiled as he remembered his confusion when Billy told him. "I guess that's what he was talking about."
Tommy looked at them. "I'm sorry you guys had to witness all that. And I am sorry I asked about it." He glanced at the angel Jason was still holding. "But what's the deal with the angels."
Jason glanced at the angel he forgot he was holding. "Well, my mom bought these at the store on the way to the hospital. That's why she wouldn't let me see what she got. She got one for each of us. She gave one to Billy and then gave us ours. They are to remind us of the three family members we all lost. Billy put his in his mom's casket."
Tommy was confused. "Family members of yours?"
Kim let out a little laugh. "Yeah, we have known each other since we were born because our parents were all best friends. Our parents always acted as the other's parents and took them in as our brother or sister. But since Billy's eighth birthday, I have been closer to him than Jase." She looked at Jason as he nodded.
Tommy turned to Jason and saw him nod. "Why? And what about Trini? I know Zack moved here when you guys were ten."
Jason sighed. "Well, Trini moved here about 6 months before that so she was fairly new to us. As for why Kim is closer than me, that's a different story. Since her parents were split, she didn't really get to see her dad too often. Since Billy's mom was gone, her mom filled in for him and his dad filled in for her."
Tommy looked at Kim and smiled. No wonder she likes to call him dad. "So that's why you guys are so much closer than Trini and Zack."
Kim smiled. "Yeah, BJ and I have been here from the start and they sort of joined the ranks."
Tommy looked at Kim and Jason. "Who's BJ?"
Jason looked down. "I am. Billy gave me that nickname after his birthday. Since his brother and sister were killed, he took us on as his unofficial brother and sister. It stands for Brother Jason. He calls Kim." He stopped as Kim slapped her hand over his mouth.
Tommy looked at Kim. "Ok, Kim, let's have it. I got Jason's name so you have to tell me yours." His eyes twinkled as she slowly took her hand from Jason's mouth.
"I am not telling." She turned to Jason. "And don't you dare say it either BJ." She turned to walk out of the room and go home.
Jason smiled. "Ok Sissy K." As she whirled on her heel, he and Tommy busted out laughing.
She ran over to him and smacked his arm. "I told you not to say it!" She looked at Tommy. "Promise me you won't tell the others? It is between us." The glint in his eyes gave her a bad feeling.
Tommy smiled. "Sure thing Sissy K!" He got a sudden idea as she walked back towards the door. "But it will cost you big time beautiful!"
Kim stopped walking towards the door when she heard his reply. How did I know this would happen? She turned to face her boyfriend. "So, what will it cost?" Please let it be something other than singing in Ernie's talent show!
Tommy smiled his mischievous smile that got her heart racing. "Sing in Ernie's talent show." He and Jason laughed as she dropped her jaw and stared at them like a fish.
Kim regained her composure and stiffened up a bit. "Not on your life. If it means that I will have my nickname spread around, so be it but I am NOT going to sing against Aisha!" She turned on her heel and walked out to thank Zordon and Alpha.
Tommy and Jason laughed and joined her in the main room of the Command Center. Tommy put his arms around his friend and girlfriend. "Thanks Zordon, for everything."
"It was my pleasure rangers. I know Billy would be glad to know that you all could watch it and find a way to move on with the outcomes." Zordon knew how terrible it was for Billy to relive it so he was glad that Kim and Jason found something to share with Tommy that helped them deal with it better.
Jason looked at his watch. " I think we should be getting home. I have some studying to do before my class and Kim has practice." He looked at Zordon and gave Kim a hug. "I'll see you guys tomorrow." He teleported back to the park to pick up his car.
Tommy looked at Kim. "You sure you'll be okay?" He hated to leave her like this but he also had to study before his karate class. After she nodded, he kissed her forehead and teleported out.
Kim turned to Zordon. "Thank you Zordon. Jason and I got to see her once more and that means a lot to me." She wiped her eyes. "I will see you tomorrow."
Zordon smiled. "Yes Kimberly. I am glad you are feeling better about it." She smiled at him and teleported home.
Alpha watched as the teens teleported home and then open a communication link to Billy. "Tommy, Kimberly, and Jason just left us. They have watched the memory bank and are handling it very well. Apparently Kimberly and Jason told Tommy the nicknames that you once gave them. It has cheered them up a little."
Billy answered his link and smiled. "Thanks Alpha. The package I have for Kim and Trini will be on it's way tonight or early tomorrow. I'll talk to you next week." He turned off his communication link. I'm glad they are handling it well. He smiled as he remembered the angel in his bag.
Billy sighed as he worked on personalizing Trini's device. Just a few more cuts on the plate and it will be done. He picked up his homemade engraver and carved the last few letters of her name. "I hope she likes this!"
AN: I will pick up from where I left off with Billy in the next chapter. I just wanted to let you know what is going on so you don't get lost. And PLEASE REVIEW! PLEASE!
AN: Okay, this chapter may be a little long and sentimental to some of you. Just bare with me okay? That's all I ask. I have been pretty busy lately so my mind has been occupied elsewhere. The timeline in case you haven't noticed is changed somewhat. The ninjetti powers are still being used.
AN: as usual, "these are spoken", *these are written*, and these are thoughts . Just to warn you though, I will be skipping back and forth between some things so I will try to write it so you know where it switches. As usual, PLEASE REVIEW! I appreciate the ones I get but I need others to review as well! Now, onto Billy's story. You'll see what I mean.
AN: Just so you don't get confused, this chapter takes place on the day Billy leaves for Aquitar. It basically tells you what his friends did while he was traveling through space.
Chapter 10
As Kim sat with her friends under a tree, waiting for the rest of their small group to show up, she glanced down at the envelope Billy had left for her. What could he have written that he couldn't just tell us? She looked up as someone approached the group. "Hi guys."
Alex and Corinne smiled as they sat down next to Aisha and Rocky.
"Okay, Kim, let me have it." Jason reached down to grab the envelope only to have his hand smacked away. "Oww! That hurt!"
The others laughed as he frowned at his now red hand. Aisha put a hand on his shoulder. "Just chill, Adam said he would get Tommy here on time."
Jason smiled as he looked around for them. "Yeah, if Tommy doesn't force him to be late!" He thought he caught sight of a shadow to his left but saw a cat run out from under a bush. "Hey Alex, did you happen to see them?"
As he said those words, a hand clapped down on his shoulder and twirled him around. "Thought I'd be late again huh?" Tommy laughed as Jason caught his breath and glared at him. "You should see your face bro!"
Jason glared at Tommy. "Don't do that to me man! You know I hate that!" He remembered Tommy's feelings about how Rocky acts around girls and had a sudden idea for revenge. "You know, sometimes I think Kim doesn't deserve you." He sat down next to Kim and put his arm around her. "Now how about those notes babe."
Kim shuddered and then laughed with the others. "Whatever you say Rocky!" She glanced over to see Rocky trying to hold his laughter. "Now that's a scary thought!"
Rocky smiled. "I am not that bad!"
As the others laughed, Kim handed out the notes. "Cori and Alex, there is one that is addressed to both of you." As she handed the last one out, she noticed that everyone moved into their small circle of closest friends. Adam, Rocky, and Aisha sat down near Kat, and Alex and Cori moved in the other direction.
Jason looked at Tommy as Kim sat back to read her note. They nodded, sat down next to her, and opened their notes. I hope this isn't a final goodbye letter.
*Aisha, since you joined the team, I felt like I had found another little sister. I want you to know that I have installed that secret weapon we worked on. Tommy has the specifics. Well, since I don't know how long I will be away, win the Science Fair for me. Your project is very good and I know you can do it. Goodbye. I will really miss you. Billy*
Aisha wiped a tear away from her eye. Billy never really told me he felt that way! She glanced at her oldest friends. They were getting teary eyed as they read their notes. Wow Billy, you really know how to get to people.
*Rocky, remember to keep your cool in battle. I have noticed that you have been getting pretty restless lately. Get some rest and listen to Kim. She knows what it is like to get tired and grouchy from being worn out. I trust her with my life and I know you can too. Take care of Aisha; she really cares about you and Adam. She knows about a secret weapon for the zords. Tommy has the specifics on it. If anything goes wrong with it, she knows that Alpha can help her fix it. Take care Rocky; I'll miss you guys. Billy*
Rocky fought back the tears that were forming and looked at Aisha. Billy sure knows what he is talking about. She looks pretty sad.
*Adam, before you, Rocky, and Aisha joined the team, I only had Alpha and Trini to help me with the technical stuff and Trini could only do so much. You and Aisha really helped me a lot. You both learn quickly and have become just as good as anyone could hope. Aisha knows of a secret weapon I added to the zords so she can help Alpha fix it if something goes wrong. Take care of her. I know you and her are like brother and sister. Trust her to listen to your problems; she will help you sort them out. Kim has helped me with so many things and I know Aisha feels the same way towards you. If you know of anything you guys may need from my lab, just ask my dad. He knows about Zordon and everything else so he will be okay with it. You guys are like family to us so stop in a say hi every once in a while. Take care of him for me. Goodbye. I'll miss you all. Billy*
Adam glanced up after reading his letter and caught a look from Aisha. He moved over to her and gave her a hug as Rocky did the same. I have to talk to them soon. "Hey guys, lets go to Ernie's when everyone gets done. Shakes are on me." They nodded and glanced at the others.
*Kat, I know you think you can't work the consoles at the command center. I know you can. I have seen how you handled them under pressure and without actually knowing what to do. You do know what you are doing. If you ever have any questions, just ask Adam, Aisha, or Alpha. They will be there to help you. Jason and Kim can also help. Just trust your instincts and they will guide you with the powers. Goodbye and good luck. Win your dance competition for me. I'll miss you Miss Kitty. Billy*
Kat smiled through her tears. Even now he still wants to call me that. She wiped away the tears and looked at the others. Adam, Aisha, and Rocky moved over to her and gave her a hug. "Thanks guys, I needed that. Did I hear you mention shakes at Ernie's?" As they nodded, she smiled and looked at the others. Why do Jason and Kim have those long faces? And why aren't Tommy and them reading their notes?
*Alex and Corinne, Neither one of you have been around long enough to know how I feel about the rangers, Zordon, and Alpha. I will tell you one thing. They are like family to me. Cori, you know what Kim and I have been doing to help so I need you to show Alex. You are both capable of helping Kim finish any projects I haven't finished yet. Alex, do your best to help and you will eventually get to know the systems as well as the girls do. Both of you take care of yourselves and each other. You may think nothing of it but I know that the two of you joined the rangers for a reason. If things turn out the way I think they will, then you will both get a wonderful surprise when I return. I'll miss you both. Billy*
Cori and Alex looked at each other and smiled weakly. She could tell he was worried about failing Billy. She smiled and took Alex's hand as they walked over to the group already done reading their notes. "Don't worry, you'll eventually learn everything I know about the systems. These guys can help you too." She smiled at the group.
Kat smiled. "You two want to join us at Ernie's? Shakes on me." She held up a hand to stop Adam from disagreeing. " It is my treat to the newcomers. I was the last newcomer so it is my turn to pay." At the confused looks from Cori and Alex, she continued. "Every time someone joins the rangers, they are bought a drink. This time, it is my treat."
Alex glanced at Kim and Jason. "I think by the looks they have, we should leave them alone. I have a feeling they will need some time alone with each other." As everyone looked at him with confusion, he continued. "Something happened in Billy's past that Kim and Jason witnessed. I have a feeling that he mentioned it in their notes."
Kat picked up on his worry. "Ok then, let's go so they can read their notes and deal with whatever it is." They all stood up and headed for the Juice Bar.
Kim watched the others go before reading her note. She wanted to be alone when she read hers. She glanced at Tommy and Jason and realized they had waited as well. " I take it you wanted to read yours in private too?" As they nodded, she smiled. "Well then, shall we begin?" She watched as they looked at each other before beginning to read. Jason caught her eye and moved closer to her. She smiled and began to read.
*Kim, you are so special to me. We have been through so much in our lifetime that I hate to leave you like this. You will be all right without me there. I know Tommy will watch out for you. He would never do anything to hurt you. For all the times you have helped me, thank you. Since it will be a while before I see you again, I want to tell you something. I love you Sissy K. You are the little sister I almost had. You are actually like a big sister too. You were there to comfort me when I needed someone. Take care of Rocky and Adam; they need someone to be a big sister to them. You have always managed to find a way to get people to do things and to get them done right. Keep doing what you do and I know you will be fine. Take it easy in gymnastics. I don't want to find out that you got hurt again. I'll miss you the most. I'll be sure to keep in touch. Bye sissy K. Billy*
Kim slowly put her note down. Sissy K? He hasn't used that for a while! She wiped the tears from her eyes as she waited for Jason and Tommy to finish. From the looks of Jason's face, he had a similar type of note. She looked at Tommy. My god, Billy got to him too!
*Tommy, I'm sure you will find out about the stones from Kim so I will spare you the story. Take care of Kim, I know you mean a lot to each other. She would do anything for you. Also, I made a modification to the zords. Aisha knows about it so she may be able to answer any questions about it. If you ever need more energy or power when fighting, I have put in a reserve power chamber in each zord. All you have to do is push the white button right next to the steering mechanism. It will allow your zords to activate a metallic shield, or force field if that's what you want to call it. The color of the button will be the color of the ranger for that zord. Take care of the gang, Zordon, and Alpha for me. I'll keep in touch. Goodbye, I'll miss all of you. Billy*
Tommy wiped the tears from his eyes. He looked at Kim and saw her crying. As he put his arm around her, he glanced at Jason. Man, I have never seen him cry, what the heck did Billy say to him?
*Jason, we have known each other since we were born. You are the brother I almost had. Thank you for everything. Take care of everyone, especially Tommy. I know he will concentrate on taking care of Kim so he needs someone to watch out for him. I want you to know that I have made two adjustments to your zord. One of them is a metallic shield. Aisha knows all about it and Tommy has the specifics as well. The second one is only for your zord. Trey helped me design it. Since he gave you the medallion that uses both the Triforian gold and the Morphin gold powers, it would only work with your zord. You see, we still have the Morphin powers within us so that means that you can call on this modification. When using the metallic shield, just call out for the energy saber. This will be more powerful than the other weapons. It will also allow you to connect with their megazord, almost like the dragonzord could connect with our dinozords.* *Don't tell the others though until you need to use it. I figured I would let them have one surprise after I am gone. When you want to connect to their ninja megazord, you can use the energy saber to do the energy blur attack. It makes you speed up to the point that you become invisible as the supermegazord runs at and destroys the monster. Although your medallion and powers use both the Triforian and Morphin powers, it won't use up any extra energy. It is connected to your mental waves. The stronger your will to defeat the monsters, the stronger the attack. Remember this Jason because those monsters have been getting stronger the angrier they get. And remember to take care of Alpha and Zordon. They won't let on to it but I know they consider us as their own children and trust us to keep them safe. Thanks for being the brother I needed BJ. I'll really miss you. Billy*
Jason finished his note and looked up to see Kim in tears. As he wiped away his own tears, he gave her and Tommy a hug. "Kim, we need to tell him." As Tommy pulled away and looked at them, Jason looked at Kim. "I think it's time he knew."
Kim looked down. "I know BJ. He would notice them eventually." She looked at Tommy. "It's about Billy."
Tommy was confused. "What about Billy?" He was really starting to get worried.
Jason pulled a small metal angel from his back pocket. As he held it up, he saw a glint of wonder in Tommy's eyes. "Kim and Billy have ones exactly like it. Well, Kim does, Billy's ." He stopped and looked down.
Tommy was really worried now. "Why do you all have an angel? What happened to Billy's?"
Kim burst into a new set of tears. " I can't tell it Jason, you think Zordon could pull it up for him? I know he did for Trini and Zack."
Jason nodded and reached for his communicator. Before he could contact Zordon, it started beeping. As he looked at Tommy and Kim in shock, he answered the call. "Jason here, what's up?"
Zordon's voice came over the communicator. "Jason, Billy has told me that you may want to show Tommy the memory bank you three made. Is that correct?"
Jason looked at Kim and after seeing her nod, he agreed. "Yes, that is right Zordon. Can we come and watch it now?"
"Alpha has already prepared the room so you can watch it." As he finished, he cut the communication link and teleported them to the command center.
Kim smiled at Alpha as he came out of a room. "Thanks Alpha and Zordon."
"Aiy yi yi. Just let me know if you need anything." Alpha went back to the control panel to study something.
Jason, Kim, and Tommy went in to the room and sat down in the chairs Alpha had placed in there. Kim picked up a small remote and pushed the button. As the holographic screen appeared, she looked at Tommy. "You ready for this? It may be painful."
Tommy looked at Jason who nodded and then looked at Kim. "Yeah, I'm ready for whatever it is."
They all turned towards the screen as the picture started to appear. A young boy was standing with his parents as another couple was taking their picture. The man taking the picture smiled and called out to the boy. "Smile Billy, your mom is going to be coming home with your brother and sister." The young boy smiled as big as he could.
Kim smiled at how silly Billy was acting. He was always so happy with her. "That was the day Billy's mom was going to the hospital to have his brother and sister. It was the day before his eighth birthday." She looked at Jason as he looked down at his feet.
Tommy looked away from the screen. "What happened?"
Kim sniffed and wiped her damp eyes. "Just watch." Jason had looked up to the screen to see and immediately wiped his eyes. Billy was waving to his parents as Jason and Kim walked with Mr. Scott back to the porch to put the camera away.
"This only gets worse bro, so be prepared." Jason couldn't fight the tears that were forming and let them fall. Kim moved her chair over so she was right next to him. She grabbed his hand as they watched the terrible day replay itself. Tommy moved over to the other side of Kim and grabbed her other hand. She is going to lose it, I know she will. He glanced back at the screen as Billy and Mrs. Scott walked back toward the house.
What followed were a beep and a screeching of tires before a loud crash came from the direction of Billy's parents. As Billy ran to the curb with Jason and Kim, Mrs. Scott ran inside to call 911. Mr. Scott turned away from putting his camera away and ran to stop Billy from running to his parents.
Tommy gasped at what he saw next. Mr. Cranston got out of his car and walked around to check on his wife. He couldn't pull the door open so he sat next to the car to wait for the EMT's. "You guys actually saw that?" He looked at his friends.
Kim nodded and whispered. "Yeah, we saw and heard everything after the initial hit. Billy was a wreck." She tried to smile as Jason put his arm around her and gave her a hug.
Tommy looked back to the screen as the emergency vehicles arrived and the EMT's started to pull the victims out. As they got to the Cranstons they tried to push Billy's dad away, thinking he was a bystander. The man pushed back and glared at the EMT. "That's my wife, I'm not leaving until she is out of our car."
The EMT dragged him over to one of the ambulances. "Ok, sir, but you have to stay here and let someone check you out while we work on getting her loose. She is stuck in there pretty tightly." As the man calmed down and let someone check him out, the EMT went back to help the others in getting Mrs. Cranston out. As they cut the door off and pulled her onto a stretcher, Billy and his friends saw the blood dripping from her body.
Billy sank to his knees and cried. "Mommy!" His loud cry got his father's attention from where he had just stepped out of the ambulance. Billy saw him and called to him. "Daddy!" Tommy looked away from the screen to see Kim in tears and Jason on the verge of letting tears fall. "I'm sorry you guys had to see that."
Jason put a hand on Tommy's shoulder. "It's ok Bro, we can't do anything about what happened. We all know that." They both looked back to the screen as Kim silently watched through her tears.
Mr. Cranston stopped one of the EMT's who had helped pull his wife out of the car. "How is she? We were on our way to deliver our twins." He glanced to where his son was watching and calling to him. "Our son is just over there with his friends and I want to go tell him what is going on."
The EMT looked to where Mr. Scott was standing with the kids. That poor kid. "I'm sorry sir but the twins died upon impact. There was a piece from the dashboard that cut right into her abdomen and basically caused them all to lose a large amount of blood. As for your wife, she will make it to the hospital but she may not make it through the night." He looked at the man before him and saw the tears falling. "I'm so sorry. But you can talk to your son and have someone take you both to the hospital to say goodbye."
Mr. Cranston looked at the man. "Thank you for being honest. I will have my friend bring us to the hospital as soon as I have talked to my son about it." He wiped the tears from his face and started walking towards Billy. The look on his son's face told him he heard most of the conversation.
Billy jumped up and started to shake his head. "No, no, no." As his dad walked up to them, he jumped into his dad's arms. "What's wrong with Mommy?" His dad put him down and looked at Mr. Scott. Mr. Scott nodded and gathered Jason and Kim to head toward the house.
As Mr. Scott pulled Jason and Kim into the house to tell Mrs. Scott, Billy and his dad talked about what happened. "Well, you heard the man Billy. She may not make it through the night. I am going to have Jonathan take us to the hospital to say goodbye. Are you going to be ok?" He looked his son in the eyes.
Billy took a breath. "I guess. Will you stay there with me?" As his dad nodded, Kim and Jason came running out of the house and gave Billy a hug.
Kim spoke up before Jason got the chance. " Mr. C, Jason's dad said to come out here until he came back out. He will be taking you and Billy to the hospital."
"Thank you Kim." Mr. Cranston smiled at his son's friends. They will be able to pull him through this. I know they will.
Inside the house, Mr. Scott was talking to his wife. "She lost the twins upon impact and she may not make it through the night. I am going to drive Hank and Billy to the hospital to say goodbye." Mr. Scott gave his wife a hug to calm her down. "We can pull them through this. Kim and Jason will be able to help Billy as well."
Jason smiled as he heard his father's words. Yeah, we did pull them through. He glanced at Kim and saw her smile too. "We did it didn't we Kim?"
"Yeah, we did." She smiled for the first time since she read her note. She turned to Tommy and smiled. "We managed to drag Billy out of his depressed mode by the end of the summer." After he smiled at her, they all looked back to the screen. Jason's dad was coming out of the house with his wife and stopped at the group on the porch.
"Hank, I'll take you and Billy to the hospital. Mary is going to bring Jason and Kim to pick me up." As he saw his friend about to protest to him leaving his car there, he held up his hand. "Annie means a lot to all of us so I am going to leave my car there for you to drive home in. That is, whenever you feel like leaving. You can come here if you do not want to go home yet."
Billy looked at his dad. "Can I stay with Jason for a few days?" He looked at his friend who was anxiously waiting an answer.
Hank Cranston looked at his best friends. After they nodded in approval, he agreed. "Yes, In fact, I think we should all have a little campout for your birthday tomorrow." He looked at Billy. "Your mom was planning on doing that when she got back with the twins. Don't you think she would want you to follow through with it?"
Billy sighed. "Yeah, she would. But it won't be the same."
Jason and Kim gave Billy a hug as Mr. Cranston followed Jonathan Scott to his car. As Billy joined them and they drove away, Jason turned to his mom. "Can I give him something else for his birthday?"
"What do you have in mind Jason?" But Mrs. Scott already knew what he was thinking. "I think I know something the both of you can give him."
Kim looked at Jason. "What's your mom talking about?" She looked back at Mrs. Scott. "Like what?"
Tommy looked at his best friend. "What were you thinking of getting him anyway?"
Jason laughed. "A few years before that, my mom and her sisters each got an angel from my uncle when a close friend died. I was thinking of getting one for Billy because his mom always talked to him about them."
Tommy smiled. "Ok, I guess that would make sense." He turned back to the screen to see Mrs. Scott leaving a store and heading back to where Kim and Jason were waiting in the car. As Jason grabbed the bag to see what exactly she got, Mrs. Scott pulled the bag away. "Not yet young man, you have to wait until tomorrow." Young Kim laughed from beside Jason.
As the car drove away from the store, the scene changed. Kim, Jason, and Tommy exchanged surprised looks at each other. It was obvious to Tommy that Kim and Jason had never seen this before. Mrs. Cranston was lying on the hospital bed with Billy and his dad next to her. They each held one of her hands. Billy and his dad were both trying not to cry so hard. She turned her head slightly to her left and looked at Billy. "Billy, it will be okay."
Billy looked at his mother's face and stopped crying. "But what am I going to do about the science fair this coming year? Nobody else will to help me!" He started crying again.
"Billy, no matter how much you like science, your friends and I will be here for you. You will be going to school in the fall and Jason, Kim, and Trini will be there with you. They will help you and you will help them. You may not realize it until you are older but they will always be your friends, no matter what. I will always be with you as well. Maybe not in person but in your heart." She turned her head and looked at her husband.
"Hank, take care of him. James, Kaytee, and I will be watching both of you." She leaned her head back on the pillow. "I'll miss you. I love you both."
"I'll miss you too Annie." Mr. Cranston pulled her hand up to his face and kissed it. "I love you too." He carefully laid her hand back down on the bed.
Billy clutched his mom's hand as she turned her head slightly in his direction. "I'll miss you too Mommy. I love you." He copied his dad and kissed her hand but after that, he just held it to his face.
She closed her eyes and the heart monitor beeped one last time before it turned into a flat line. Billy suddenly shivered and looked to the ceiling.
Kim gasped as she, Jason, and Tommy all saw something they never thought they would see. They looked at each other before looking back to the screen.
Billy saw two small white balls of light floating just below the ceiling as if waiting for something. As Mr. Cranston looked at what his son was watching, a bigger and bluish ball of light formed over Billy's mom. Father and son watched as it floated up to join the others as they slowly disappeared. Billy found enough voice to say goodbye. "Goodbye mommy." Suddenly the screen went blank.
Kim gasped as she and Jason looked at the now blank screen. "What the heck was that Jase?" Tommy grabbed her hand as they both looked at Jason. Only he wasn't in shock. His smile only confused them. "Jase? What are you smiling at?"
Jason shook himself out of his shock. He didn't even know he was smiling. "Huh? Oh, I remember Billy telling me that he watched his mom leave them." He smiled as he remembered his confusion when Billy told him. "I guess that's what he was talking about."
Tommy looked at them. "I'm sorry you guys had to witness all that. And I am sorry I asked about it." He glanced at the angel Jason was still holding. "But what's the deal with the angels."
Jason glanced at the angel he forgot he was holding. "Well, my mom bought these at the store on the way to the hospital. That's why she wouldn't let me see what she got. She got one for each of us. She gave one to Billy and then gave us ours. They are to remind us of the three family members we all lost. Billy put his in his mom's casket."
Tommy was confused. "Family members of yours?"
Kim let out a little laugh. "Yeah, we have known each other since we were born because our parents were all best friends. Our parents always acted as the other's parents and took them in as our brother or sister. But since Billy's eighth birthday, I have been closer to him than Jase." She looked at Jason as he nodded.
Tommy turned to Jason and saw him nod. "Why? And what about Trini? I know Zack moved here when you guys were ten."
Jason sighed. "Well, Trini moved here about 6 months before that so she was fairly new to us. As for why Kim is closer than me, that's a different story. Since her parents were split, she didn't really get to see her dad too often. Since Billy's mom was gone, her mom filled in for him and his dad filled in for her."
Tommy looked at Kim and smiled. No wonder she likes to call him dad. "So that's why you guys are so much closer than Trini and Zack."
Kim smiled. "Yeah, BJ and I have been here from the start and they sort of joined the ranks."
Tommy looked at Kim and Jason. "Who's BJ?"
Jason looked down. "I am. Billy gave me that nickname after his birthday. Since his brother and sister were killed, he took us on as his unofficial brother and sister. It stands for Brother Jason. He calls Kim." He stopped as Kim slapped her hand over his mouth.
Tommy looked at Kim. "Ok, Kim, let's have it. I got Jason's name so you have to tell me yours." His eyes twinkled as she slowly took her hand from Jason's mouth.
"I am not telling." She turned to Jason. "And don't you dare say it either BJ." She turned to walk out of the room and go home.
Jason smiled. "Ok Sissy K." As she whirled on her heel, he and Tommy busted out laughing.
She ran over to him and smacked his arm. "I told you not to say it!" She looked at Tommy. "Promise me you won't tell the others? It is between us." The glint in his eyes gave her a bad feeling.
Tommy smiled. "Sure thing Sissy K!" He got a sudden idea as she walked back towards the door. "But it will cost you big time beautiful!"
Kim stopped walking towards the door when she heard his reply. How did I know this would happen? She turned to face her boyfriend. "So, what will it cost?" Please let it be something other than singing in Ernie's talent show!
Tommy smiled his mischievous smile that got her heart racing. "Sing in Ernie's talent show." He and Jason laughed as she dropped her jaw and stared at them like a fish.
Kim regained her composure and stiffened up a bit. "Not on your life. If it means that I will have my nickname spread around, so be it but I am NOT going to sing against Aisha!" She turned on her heel and walked out to thank Zordon and Alpha.
Tommy and Jason laughed and joined her in the main room of the Command Center. Tommy put his arms around his friend and girlfriend. "Thanks Zordon, for everything."
"It was my pleasure rangers. I know Billy would be glad to know that you all could watch it and find a way to move on with the outcomes." Zordon knew how terrible it was for Billy to relive it so he was glad that Kim and Jason found something to share with Tommy that helped them deal with it better.
Jason looked at his watch. " I think we should be getting home. I have some studying to do before my class and Kim has practice." He looked at Zordon and gave Kim a hug. "I'll see you guys tomorrow." He teleported back to the park to pick up his car.
Tommy looked at Kim. "You sure you'll be okay?" He hated to leave her like this but he also had to study before his karate class. After she nodded, he kissed her forehead and teleported out.
Kim turned to Zordon. "Thank you Zordon. Jason and I got to see her once more and that means a lot to me." She wiped her eyes. "I will see you tomorrow."
Zordon smiled. "Yes Kimberly. I am glad you are feeling better about it." She smiled at him and teleported home.
Alpha watched as the teens teleported home and then open a communication link to Billy. "Tommy, Kimberly, and Jason just left us. They have watched the memory bank and are handling it very well. Apparently Kimberly and Jason told Tommy the nicknames that you once gave them. It has cheered them up a little."
Billy answered his link and smiled. "Thanks Alpha. The package I have for Kim and Trini will be on it's way tonight or early tomorrow. I'll talk to you next week." He turned off his communication link. I'm glad they are handling it well. He smiled as he remembered the angel in his bag.
Billy sighed as he worked on personalizing Trini's device. Just a few more cuts on the plate and it will be done. He picked up his homemade engraver and carved the last few letters of her name. "I hope she likes this!"
AN: I will pick up from where I left off with Billy in the next chapter. I just wanted to let you know what is going on so you don't get lost. And PLEASE REVIEW! PLEASE!
