Disclaimer: Well, since we gotta do this, here ya go. I don't own the Power
Rangers. I only own Cori, Alex, Amanda, and Maggie. But, you all knew that
already.
AN: Well, thanks to those who reviewed. Wild-Melody, you may have read some things for my story but what you failed to remember was that it MAY be used and it may not. LOL I am keeping things pretty tight for a while so anything you read was only an idea. Anyway, on with the chapter eh?
AN: By the way, this chapter is mostly when they are online but with some other stuff thrown in. The names I am going to use in this chapter are user names. They are not real, and neither are the emails. But I won't tell you who is who. You will have to figure it out. Mean aren't I? LOL Well, enjoy and review please!
CHAPTER 20
Redtyranrex: Is it really you bro?
Pinkteryl: Billy?
Strcrawler: In the digital interface! LOL Sorry, but I HAD to say that!
Aussiekat: Billy? Don't ever do that again! You nearly gave me a heart attack!
Redtyranrex: How are you online? I mean, there is no phone line up to Aquitar. Or did you make yourself a new "toy"?
Strcrawler: Now THAT was a stupid question Jase. I made a new "toy" to keep me occupied when I have nothing else to do.
Pinkteryl: This is so cool. Hey, did you do this to the others too? I would have loved to see Tommy's face!
Strcrawler: You are the first ones. I plan on telling the others tonight when you guys get online for your weekly chats.
Aussiekat: This will be so much fun! I can't wait Billy!
Redtyranrex: We are using my chat room tonight so wait a few minutes before logging in. they will wonder who the "new guy" is. LOL
Billy laughed. "Man, this will freak them all out!" I wonder if Trini and Zack will be on tonight as well? He looked at his watch and realized that their study hall would be over soon.
Strcrawler: Well, I should let you guys go since class will be over soon. Say, Jason's chat room around 8?
Pinkteryl: Yep, the usual time! I'll talk to you later bb!
Aussiekat: Bye Billy. Talk to you tonight!
Pinkteryl has signed off

redtyranrex: Yeah, sounds good to be bro. Talk to you later.
Strcrawler: bye

Billy signed off and sent a message to his dad. "I hope he still checks his email when he gets home!" He wished he could have seen his father's face when Jason and Kim gave him the picture.
To: smartfox@yahoo.com From: blutridove@yahoo.com Subject: everything
Dad, how are you doing? I've told the gang to stop in once in a while to see you. I hope they are. You're probably wondering how I can send you an email from here. Well, I am using that device I told you about. I made one for everyone, including you. I have some news for you as well. I'm pretty sure that Kim and Jason told you about me coming home.
Well, I will be going on a quest for the Master Warrior powers before I come home. However, it is dangerous and will last a couple of days. There is a prophecy that says I must conquer my deadliest fear if I wish to survive. Then, if I do so, my life bond will join me and I shall lead the team against the ultimate evil.
I want to you to know that I am fairly confident I will survive my quest and defeat all obstacles to attain the master wolf powers. But if I should fail, I want you to do something for me. Give Trini mom's ring. I had visions of me and my life bond. She is the one dad.
I have loved her since we first met and I know she feels the same. We just never admitted it until the day before I left. Will you do this favor for me? The ring is in the locked compartment of my desk and the key is taped to the top drawer. If I am successful in my quest, I may save the ring until I get married but I know it will be to her. Thank you for everything dad. I miss you and I will keep in touch. I love you. Billy.
Billy sighed and hit send before turning his device off. "At least my dad knows everything now." He wiped a tear from his eye as he thought about his dad being alone in their big house He put his device on his table, grabbed the remote to his music player, and turned it on.
He smiled as his mom's favorite group came from the speakers. His eyes open wide at the song that just started. "It's my song!" He started singing along with it. She always did say this was perfect for her beach baby!
*When I grow up to be a man Will I dig the same things that turn me on as a kid? Will I look back and say that I wish I hadn't done what I did? Will I joke around and still dig those sounds When I grow up to be a man?*
*Will I look for the same things in a woman that I dig ion a girl? Will I settle down fast or will I first wanna travel the world? Now I'm young and free, but how will it be When I grow up to be a man?*
*Will my kids be proud or think their old man is a square? When they're out having fun yeah, will I still wanna have my share? Will I love my wife for the rest of my life When I grow up to be a man?*
*What will I be when I grow up to be a man? Won't last forever It's kind of sad Won't last forever It's kind of sad.*
Billy laughed as the song faded away to the next song. "I wish I could go surfing right now. That's something the monsters will never be able to do!" An idea came to him and suddenly he grabbed his sketchbook.
"That's it! They will all love it!" He turned his music up to help him keep his creative juices flowing and started to sketch. "Alex and Kim will really love this!"
All day long, Billy sketched the zords and calculated the data needed to put his plan in motion. By nightfall, he had sketches of all the zords with their new modifications. He had taken numerous breaks and listened to tons of his mom's favorite music.
Noticing the time, he popped a disc of his favorite music into his player and turned his device on. He was surprised to see Trini on, as well as Zack, when he logged into Jason's chat room.
Strcrawler has signed on
Strcrawler: Hey, Jason, I'm here. Nice to see so many of you on.
Redtyranrex: Well, since everyone is here that will be here, I want you guys to meet someone. I told him to join us in here.
Strcrawler: Hello Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Trini, Zack, Kat, Tommy, Kim, and Jason.
Elzcardinal: What the hell? Who are you?
Strcrawler: Surely the ape isn't frightened?
Grndragon: How do you know about the ape?
Strcrawler: LOL I know many things about all of you. Especially Trini, Zack, Kim, Tommy, Amanda, and Jason.
Stigeryel: me and Zack? We haven't been in AG for a while! And Tommy moved there a few years ago.
Blackmasto: Yeah, I want to know who the hell you are!
Strcrawler: I also know your friends William and Alex. I have talked to William often.
Elzblubrd: But he's been out of town lately!
Strcrawler: I know, he told me he would be gone for a while.
Elzblackori: So who ARE you?
Strcrawler: You all want to know tonight?
Stigeryel: yes!
Blackmasto: Hell yeah!
Elzcardinal: absolutely!
Elzblubrd: Listen brainiac, I ain't into these kind of games. Tell me!
Elzblackori: yes!
Grndragon: Damn it! Just tell us already!
Strcrawler: Trini, do you remember helping a young boy when he fell in front of you on the swing? He wanted to help you in return by pushing you on the swing. If I recall, the two of you got ice cream afterwards. The banana nut sure looked cute on your nose.
Stigeryel: You're kidding me!
Grndragon: Trini, do you know who it is?
Stigeryel: Hell yeah! So do Kim and Jason! You know who it is don't you guys?
Blackmasto: Jase?
Redtyranrex: T'is true! LOL Kim and Kat were with me when we found out who it is.
Pinkteryl: Sorry Tommy, we all promised not to tell.
Elzblubrd: So WHO ARE YOU already?
Strcrawler: Ask Trini. ;-) ROFLAO
Elzblackori: Well Trini?
Stigeryel: Billy
Elzcardinal: What? That's impossible! He's on Aquitar!
Strcrawler: Actually, I am using a device I made that lets me connect via spectral rays to your computers, as well as to see anything in front of a view cam. I only assume that none of you use one since I am the only one who actually owns one.
Grndragon: Damn! It IS Billy!
Blackmasto: Uh-oh! I'd get off now Billy! She's gonna blow! This is a lot worse than the last time!
Elzcardinal: Zack, what are you talking about?
Pinkteryl: Just watch Rocko. Everyone just relax and keeps your hands off your keyboards. If my timing is right, she will be replying as soon as I finish this message.
Stigeryel: WILLIAM MICHAEL CRANSTON! Where the HELL do you get off scaring me like that! Why would you even THINK about it? You know I hate when people do that! Did you think I wouldn't remember what happened last time and not get mad? Did you?
Stigeryel: You know how I feel about people that do this! So help me god, when I see you next, you will not be writing for weeks!
Grndragon: WOAH! Calm down Trini!
Stigeryel: (glares at Tommy) Leave me the hell alone Thomas! This is between me and William. (glares at everyone else) Anyone else care to comment?
Stigeryel: good. You have some explaining to do William. NOW!
Strcrawler: No comment
Stigeryel: WHAT? You can't sit there and not respond! You are supposed to be smart! So why in God's name did you do this to me?
Billy smiled to himself as he wrote his reply. Because I want you worked up so I can calm you down after you break down.
Stigeryel: Well, I'm waiting!
Strcrawler: ;-)
Stigeryel: What the hell is that for? You know that makes me even angrier! I thought you were better than that William! How can you sit there and not give me a straight answer?
Strcrawler: Because I love you and I want you to imagine me holding you and calming you down as you slowly stop crying and shaking. Which from experience, I know you are doing right this minute.
There was a silent lapse of two minutes as everyone stared at their screens in shock. He didn't just say that did he? They all thought.
Trini stared at her device and hit the comm. button. Shaking, she wiped her tears away and looked at Billy's image. "You really mean that?"
Billy nodded and smiled. "Of course I do. I knew you would hit the comm. Button if I got you worked up enough. I wanted to talk to you in private. I imagined I was holding and kissing you as your body calmed down and your tears stopped."
She stared at the other half of the screen and smiled. "Well then, should we get out of that chat room and talk in private?" After seeing him nod, she replies in the chat room.
Grndragon: I hope you are still there Trini.
Stigeryel: I'm still here Tommy. Sorry I snapped at you. I just had to take a breather and calm down. I am sorry guys, I need to get going. It is late and I need to think.
Elzblubrd: I understand and I think I speak for all of us. Billy really threw a curve ball here and we all need to process what just happened too.
Aussiekat: Yeah, go ahead. I am going to go anyway. Nice chatting with ya. I will see you all later. And Billy, don't go pissing anyone else off ok?
Strcrawler: I promise. I will get going so you guys can plan my demise. LOL
Redtyranrex: I think I speak for everyone, or at least Kim, when I say "Catch ya on the flipside!"
Pinkteryl: HEY!!!!! (throws tomato at Jason and anyone else thinking of quoting as well)
Elzblackori: Well, I am getting out of here before she throws one at me!
Grndragon: Ok, Adam. "Catch ya on the flipside!" LOL (ducks from Kim's tomato, holds her arms against chair, and kisses her)
Elzblubrd: Awww, ain't that so sweet Tommy! (rolls eyes) Bye all! Rocky and I are outta here!
Billy watched as his friends signed off one by one before signing off himself. He smiled as he noticed that Trini stared at him the whole time. "What?"
She shook her head. "Nothing. Do you really think of holding me like that?" She smiles when his face turns a deep red. "I do too." It was her turn to look down as he stares at the screen.
"You do?" At her nod, Billy smiles. Well, now's a perfect time while we are talking like this! "Trini, where do you see yourself in ten years?"
"What do you mean? I plan on getting my master's degree in Elementary Ed. Why?" Trini was confused. I thought he already knew my plans!
Billy shook his head. "No, I meant where do you plan on residing? I am going to stick around Angel Grove hopefully." He smiled at the thought. Yeah, with my dad, friends, and my own family.
Trini shrugged. I wonder why. "Well, I would like to stay around Angel Grove but it all depends."
"On what?" Billy silently prayed it was for the same reason he wanted to stay in the area.
"Well, it depends on my family. If my parents stay in the area, then I will live with them until I get my own place. If they were to move, then I would go with them." She smiled mischievously. "Unless there was a reason fro me to stay."
"Well, I was just wondering. Jason and I had been talking about getting an apartment together, maybe with Tommy, and we thought maybe you and Kim would be doing the same." He smiled when he realized that she was thinking of something. "Then again, we also talked about who would be pairing up amongst the group. But that was before you guys left for Geneva."
Trini saw his smile and immediately her interest was peaked. "Oh really? And who did you think would end up with who?"
Billy blushed. "Well, we hoped that you and I would pair up, Tommy and Kim would pair up and Zack and Amanda would pair up." He frowned when he remembered that Amanda came back after Zack had already left. He smiled though when he remembered something else. "We also made a bet , judging by our actions and personalities."
Trini raised an eyebrow. "Oh really? I never thought you would be the gambling kind. What was it about?"
Billy smiled. "Yeah well, it was only a small one but the payment was something neither one of us was willing to part with." Too bad he might lose if I get my way. "I bet him that I would get married before Tommy since he and Kim are taking these very slowly."
Trini cocked her head and smiled. "Oh really? I happen to know that they have talked about marriage. And as far as I know, we haven't." She stared him straight in the eye, willing him to see if she was interested in talking about it.
Billy swallowed hard. Is she actually saying she wants to talk about it? If she does, than so be it! "Well, my parents have always told me that when I feel it is right, then I will have their blessing. After mom died, my dad told me that if I choose to get married young like they did, he wouldn't stop me." He smiled and stared right back at her.
Trini was surprised. She didn't know his parents had talked to him about it at such a young age. "Oh really? My parents never really talked to me about it. They were married young and I know they trust me to run my own life. Other than that though, I don't know how they feel about those things." She couldn't think straight when he was smiling at her like that. "Do you want to get married young?" There, see if that throws him off.
Billy blinked. He wasn't expecting that question. "Um, well, if I am with the right person and I can feel it deep within my heart, then I would have to say yes." He smiled as a thought came to him. "Although I think I already know what I want and getting married young isn't the word for it.."
"Oh? And what is it you want?" Trini could feel the color rush out of her face. "Where do you see yourself in ten years?"
Billy smiled and reached to turn off his device. He replied without thinking. "In Angel Grove, working with my dad, and coming home every night to you. Goodnight." He smiled and turned off his device.
AN: By the way, the song was called 'When I Grow Up To Be A Man' by the Beach Boys. Also, I need your opinions. When I do the next part of my story, yes there will be sections to this story, do you want me to title the chapters or keep them at numbers? As always, review and let me know! If you read this and do not get an email about when I update, also include your email into your review or email me directly. Thanks!

She couldn't think straight when he was smiling at her like that. "Do you want to get married young?" There, see if that throws him off.
Billy blinked. He wasn't expecting that question. "Um, well, if I am with the right person and I can feel it deep within my heart, then I would have to say yes." He smiled as a thought came to him. "Although I think I already know what I want and getting married young isn't the word for it.."
"Oh? And what is it you want?" Trini could feel the color rush out of her face. "Where do you see yourself in ten years?"
Billy smiled and reached to turn off his device. He replied without thinking. "In Angel Grove, working with my dad, and coming home every night to you. Goodnight." He smiled and turned off his device.
