Chapter 13
Trini reread Billy's note. Okay, he said to be alone at five pm. That gives me about three hours. She set the small handheld device on her bed next to her. I'm glad I have the room to myself this weekend. She picked up the remote to her stereo and turned it on. She leaned back and listened to the music.
**When life held troubled times, had me down on my knees, I always let someone to come and comfort me. A kind word from a stranger to lend a helping hand, A phone call from a friend, just to say I understand. Ain't it kind of funny, at the dark end of the road, That someone lights the way with a single ray of hope.**
**Oh, I believe there are angels among us, Sent down to us, from somewhere up above. They come to you and me, with our darkest hours. To show us how to live, to teach us how to give, To guide us with the light of love.**
**They wear so many faces, Show up in the strangest places, Grace us with a mercy in our time of need.**
"I wish I had an angel like that!" Trini sighed as she felt sleep creeping over her. Well, I can take a small nap. This week wore me out. She set her alarm for 4:30, turned off her stereo, and laid down.
BACK ON AQUITAR Billy entered his bedroom and set his alarm. That should give me enough time for a long nap. I could use it. He picked up his pdc and walked to his bed.
As he laid down on his bed, Billy set his pdc next to him. I hope she remembers to be alone at five. He let the sleep take over as he closed his eyes.
BEEP BEEP BEEP
Wow, that was a weird dream! Trini sat up and turned her alarm off. "Well, I have a half hour to get something to eat." She grabbed her device and headed for her kitchen.
As Trini got herself a snack, she wondered about Billy. I wonder what he's doing right now. She sat down at the table to eat her snack and set the device next to her. "Now all I have to do is wait until five and hit the power button."
MEANWHILE Billy sat up and turned off his alarm. Man, I will be so glad when my treatments are done. No more naps for me! He picked up his pdc and walked to his kitchen.
As he got his lunch and sat down at his desk, he thought about what the elder told him. Should I tell her or should I wait? No, I should tell her in person. He ate his lunch in silence.
BACK ON EARTH Trini looked at her watch. Okay, Billy said to turn it on a couple minutes early so that it could set up its security program. She pressed the power button and was surprised to see a yellow light flash on and her own voice come from the speaker.
"Good afternoon. This is your personal data console security system. Please state your name for voice verification."
Trini smiled. Billy, you've outdone yourself this time. "Trini Kwan" She watched in amazement as a small tray slid out of the side.
"Voice verification correct. Please place right thumb on the sensor pad to set thumbprint identification." Trini did as told. "Thumbprint set. This device is now ready for regular use."
Trini smiled as the tray slid back in and the circle of lights near the power button flashed in their separate colors before the yellow flashed twice and then remained lit. She then realized that each color was the color of a ranger and that some of the colors had two lights. But what are the purple and silver lights? Suddenly there was a beep and the blue light lit up.
UP ON AQUITAR Billy turned his device on and watched his lights to make sure the yellow and blue both remained lit. Good, she got it set up. He pressed his comm. (communicate) button and watched as a screen popped up. He then pressed the yellow button to send the message to Trini.
DOWN ON EARTH Trini saw the blue light blink as she heard the pdc announce that Billy was online. She pressed the comm. button like the note said and then the blue button once the screen appeared. She smiled once she saw Billy smiling at her. "Hey Wolfboy."
Billy winked at her. "Hey Tiger, I've missed you." He saw a confused look on her face. "What's wrong?"
Trini was confused. Shouldn't he be looking like an old man? "Well, I thought you would look like an old man until you got your treatments over with."
Billy laughed. "Well, they adjusted my faucet so that I get my drinking water from the falls." As she smiled, he felt his heart race. "Happy birthday Trini. I love you."
"Thank you Billy. I love you too." Trini felt the red creep up her face. "So how's it going up there? Zack and I found out that we will be going home sooner than we thought."
"You are? How soon?" Billy was surprised. He was going to be getting his treatments every other week so he could get home earlier. "I am going home earlier as well."
Trini smiled. "We go home in time for Valentine's Day of this school year." I wonder who will return first. "How about you?"
"Then end of January." Billy smiled as an idea came to him. "We'll have to meet somewhere and surprise them all."
Trini laughed. "You've got a deal. Zack and I already thought of not telling them. So, what are you doing there?"
Billy blushed and looked down. "Not much. I'm basically making one of these devices for everyone back there and helping out at the labs." He sighed as he debated whether he should tell her about the ceremony.
"What else. You are holding something back!" She could tell he was unsure of telling her something. "You know you can tell me anything."
Billy smiled. "Well, Niko asked me to be his life bonder. I accepted and when I told the Elder about it, he told me something about my telepathy and powers" He still didn't look at her. She's going to flip when she finds out.
Trini was shocked. "That's an honor Billy! But what did he say about your powers?" I hope he can still use his powers. The rangers are his life! It wasn't bad was it?"
Billy smiled and shook his head as he looked at his screen. "It was good but a little shocking. He said that since I could already contact you telepathically from this distance, my powers are stronger than we had thought. Apparently only life bonds are supposed to be able to do that."
Trini gasped. No, that would mean that my dream could be true! "You mean."
Billy saw her startled expression. "What's wrong? Are you okay?" Oh no, I shouldn't have said that!
"Uh, yeah, I'm okay. I'm just shocked." She smiled at him. "I had a dream earlier when I took a nap. It had a few people and Zordon in it."
Billy was anxious now. Could it have shown us together? "Oh really? What happened in it?"
Maybe I shouldn't tell him who the people were yet. "Well, there was a dark haired Asian woman holding a baby, with a man's arms around the both of them." She stared at him so she could see his reaction to the next part. "Both the mother and father had communicators on."
Billy felt his heart stop. Could it be us? I need to find out! "What did the father look like and what were the colors of the communicators?"
Trini smiled. This could get interesting if he is acting like that! "The man had sandy colored hair and their communicators were silver and another color. Zordon was talking with them so they had to be at the Command Center."
Billy swallowed hard. "Sandy colored hair huh? What was Zordon saying?" Why would they take their baby to the Command Center? "Something had to be going on if they had the baby with them."
Trini smiled at Billy's confused look. "Well, he called the father something important but I don't remember exactly what. All I know is that it was something very important about the couple."
"About the couple? And you don't remember what he called the guy?" As Trini nodded, Billy started thinking. "Well, maybe it had something to do with what he called him."
Trini shrugged. "Maybe. All I know is that it had to do with some Ninjetti Master." She watched his reaction to her not so direct hint towards his future.
Billy's eyes widened. "Ninjetti Master?" That could be me! "You sure you don't remember what color the communicators were?"
Trini pursed her lips together as if she were thinking. "Well, I think the mother's was silver and yellow. But I'm not completely sure." Actually, I know who they are but I'm not going to tell right now.
Billy had a sudden idea. "Trini, exactly when are you and Zack going to be returning home?" If it is the same time as me, they can meet me at Phaedos, with Zordon's help.
Trini stared at the screen. Now what's he planning? "Um, they told us we could leave around January twenty-eighth. Why?"
Billy smiled. Perfect! "Well, that is about the time I will be getting to Phaedos. I'll talk to Zordon about you and Zack teleporting to the Command Center, or to my house, to store your things and then going to Phaedos."
Trini was confused. "Why would we need to go to Phaedos? I can understand hiding out and staying with Zordon or your dad, but not going to Phaedos."
Billy laughed. "Well remember those stones I found? Well, your picture made the yellow one glow so I thought Zordon would agree that you and Zack would be the Yellow and Black rangers."
Trini gasped. "I completely forgot! Well, I'll tell him tonight. We are going out for a celebration dinner. I told him I had something to tell him."
Billy raised his eyebrows. "Oh really? Like what?"
Trini laughed. "I was going to tell him who my wonderful boyfriend is!"
Billy felt his face getting red. "You mean you didn't tell him yet? He'll probably have a coronary with all the surprises."
Trini laughed again. "Well, he couldn't understand why I wouldn't open your gift until today." At Billy's look of surprise, she continued. "Besides, I always follow instructions when it comes to gifts."
Billy smiled as a few more ideas came to mind. "I'll have to remember you said that. By the way, are you still planning on going to AGU? I am."
Trini smiled. "Of course I am! Why wouldn't I want to go to the best school for my field?" And spend all my free time with the man I love.
Billy looked down. "I just wasn't sure if you still wanted to after going to Geneva." If she still wants to go there then my plan should go the way I want it to. He looked back to the screen to see Trini smiling at him. "What?"
Trini laughed. "Oh, I was just wondering what you would look like ten years from now." As she saw his face turn red, she continued. "Do you know what our class is doing for graduation and reunions?"
Billy stared at her and shook his head. "I haven't heard from Kim yet." He saw her smile even more. "What are they planning?"
Trini laughed. "Well, they want to have a talent show and dance. You know, since so many of us have one or more talents." I know I am going to do something special for him.
Billy smiled as an idea popped into his head. That's what I can do to show her how much I love her! "Hey, do me a favor. Don't tell Zack about us yet. I have an idea."
Trini raised her eyebrows. "Oh really? I won't tell him but I will tell him about staying with Zordon. What is your idea?"
Billy smiled. "Go ahead and tell him about Zordon. As for my idea, we could each practice hard in secret and then perform a certain song at the graduation party."
Trini smiled. "You and me? That would be great Billy. What song did you have in mind?"
Billy shook his head. "I'm not telling you until we get our powers. Trust me, you'll love it."
Trini laughed. "What ever you say Master!" She suddenly clapped her hand over her mouth. Oh no, I wasn't going to tell him now!
Billy pulled back from the screen. Master? Where did that come from? "Uh, Trini, why did you call me that? Do you know something?"
"Sorry, I can't tell you until we get our powers." Trini grinned at his pleading look. "Trust me, you'll like it."
"If you say so!" Billy looked at his watch. "Hey, I have to get going. You have my instructions on the PDC so you can email and instant message the others just as if you were on a computer."
Trini sighed. "Okay Billy. Will I be able to leave you messages too?" She smiled as Billy nodded. "Well, I guess I will talk to you later then!"
Billy smiled. "Just remember, don't tell anyone about the PDC unless it is their birthday. And remember to keep us a secret from Zack."
Trini nodded. "I promise on all accounts. In fact, tell them to contact me when they get theirs."
Billy smiled. "Okay Tiger. I love you." He blew her a kiss.
She pretended to catch it and blew one to him. "I love you too Wolf-boy." More than he knows. "Bye."
Billy smiled as he reached to turn off his pdc. "Bye Trini." He then thought about what the Elder said. He muttered something just low enough that Trini could barely hear it. "I hope you'll be my life bond." He turned off his PDC.
Trini stared at her pdc. He didn't just say that did he? She heard him mumble something as he turned his PDC off. "I'll have to ask him about it the next time I talk to him." She turned her device off.
Billy pushed his PDC aside and laid his head on his hands. "How do I tell her about it if she possibly doesn't feel the same way? I hope she does!"
Billy's head suddenly shot up. "Oh no! I said that before I turned off my device!" He ran his hands through his hair. "I'll have to ask her about it the next time I talk to her." He stood up, grabbed his PDC, and walked back to his bedroom. I need to think about this. I am going to do a kata so I can think clearly
He put his device next to his bed, changed into some workout clothes, and went back to his living room area. As he pushed his furniture to the corners of the room, he thought about the ceremony the following day. They won't know what hit them!
He walked to the center of the room and took a karate stance. I'm glad Trini taught me some of her kata's! As Billy began a kata, his mind turned to his girlfriend. What would she say if I asked her? I wish I could find out what my mom would have thought of her and I! Suddenly everything went black for a moment and he stumbled to his knees. "What is happening to me?" He then lost all consciousness and fell completely to the floor.
The girl smiled at the young man before her. "Welcome. Before you ask, we brought you here, with your help of course."
Billy stared at the girl. Her hazel eyes and red tinged, sandy colored hair reminded him of someone. "Do I know you? And how did I help to bring myself here?" He took a deep breath and continued. "Exactly where is here?"
