Forever A Shame

Author's Notes: It's been awhile, these generations aren't as liked…Yada yada. I know. But hey, I feel as if I might as well go through all of them, though I'll try and speed things up this month. Also, I write these when I get a plot, but lately they've been spontaneous. I apologize for any errors, I try to get rid of them, though it doesn't always work.

Author's Notes 2: Now that this is typed up…Well, many may be disappointed, others not. It's a tad confusing, and I'll try to fix that in the morning. Hope you all enjoy, the next installment should be up soon!

Couples: Tommy/Kimberly, Jason/Trini, Billy/Adam, Aisha/Rocky, Zack/Kat, Tanya/TJ, mentions of Ashley/Andros and Phantom/Cassie, Zhane/Karone included.

Friendships: Tanya/Kat, Justin/Carlos, Ashley/Cassie, and Zhane/Andros.

Thanks to all those who have reviewed!

Zhane hopped down the metal stairs, a rather loud clang emitting when his boots slap down. A fleeting grin crossed his face as he heard his best friend let out a curse of surprise and frustration. Following the sound of that, and of various tools, he found Andros crouched down by an open control panel. "I guess fresh off the line doesn't mean that it's perfect."
His multi-colored friend only arched a brow at him in return, as if to say 'You noticed'.

"Oh, c'mon, Andros. Have some fun." Still, his response was yet more silence. He didn't even receive a reprimanding look that time. "I just got off the comm with Ashley." Now there's the response he was looking for!
Andros looked up sharply at the last words, his tool dropping to his side for once. It took him a moment to regain his composure, but he did. "How…How is she?"

"She was happy, she and Cassie had just finished up shopping. She says that Cassie told her all plans are ready for the reunion, and there is going to be some setting up of former rangers. You know, you could have found that all out if you contacted her yourself one of these times."

"Don't start, Zhane. We just…need time to ourselves, to cope."
"I get that, but you could cope better together! It's the same deal over and over!" Once again, his friend was nonresponsive, returning his attention to the control panel, ignoring the sparks that flew from his aggravated assault.

While this one conversation was over, Zhane knew that the topic would not be through for quite some time. Sighing, he headed back out of the room and up the metal stairs to find Karone. She would still be talking to Ashley in their room…The one place where the former Space Ranger knew Andros wouldn't be when she contacted them.

It was a shame that they hid from eachother.

It was a shame that they had had to withstand what they did at a young age.

It was a shame, in general.

Zhane had always wanted to be an uncle at a young age.

It was a shame he might not get that chance again.
