Chapter 2: Hours Later
It had only been three hours since Andros, Cassie, Zhane, Carlos and the Phantom Rangers lost their lives. TJ and Ashley had been luck enough to make on the ship and off the planet safely. Over dinner neither one of the two teens said anything. TJ knew it was difficult for Ashley at this time; Cassie had become her best friend. During their time as rangers, and Andros well you could see it in her eyes the way she felt about him. If he hadn't of died TJ would be glad that Andros wasn't in Ashley's life anymore. Then he would be able ask her what he always wanted to back when they were Turbo rangers. He felt guilty for having these feelings at a time like this.
Ashley quickly finishes her meal getting up abruptly. "Ash is everything ok? I mean yeah I know that things are not but you don't seem to be acting like your sad over what happen. You seem to be um angry." TJ said trying to find the right words. Ashley looks at him cracking a smirk. She blew two of her hair strands from her face. "You got what you always wanted. Your leader again." she said. TJ couldn't believe his let alone what she was saying. Sure he did feel a bit bad when he was no longer the red ranger of the group. It made sense that Andros be leader since they were in space, and he was space person.
"Ash Ash Ashley" he stuttered, "I will admit that being leader again would be nice, but I would never want it like this. Not at the expense of other lives. And I don't mean the rangers we lost. I mean all the lives that are on earth that we as rangers swore to protect. We are two rangers against an empire of evil we won't be able to hold off their attacks for long." TJ said standing up his chair falls behind him. "So no I don't want this, no I'm not happy. I can't believe that you could think that of me." TJ said hurt by the girl's accusation. Ashley could see the hurt in the boy's eyes but what she was feeling push his pain out of her mind. "How could I not think that? Astronema and all her forces surrounded them and you insisted on going back to the ship. When the right thing to do would be help them. This is just like Divatox all over again." Ashley said.
TJ stormed out of the dinning area to his sleeping quarters. That was one of his sensitive areas. This is what causes him and the others to become space rangers. The one thought that played in his mind each night he went to bed. Looking back on it if he had used the turbine laser to begin with Divatox wouldn't have destroyed the power chamber. The turbo rangers would still have their powers; Zhane, Andros, and the Phantom ranger would be alive today along with Carlos and Cassie. And if they never lost their powers they wouldn't be in space. And Andros and Ashley would have never met. TJ may have been able to finally declare his feeling for her. He mind wonders back to three hours ago, could things have been different if he had help the others? TJ enter into Ashley's chambers "If we had all went after them there would have been a great chance that you and me wouldn't be here fighting." TJ said he smile then left her room. She had a confused look on her face.
TJ return to his sleeping quarters. "That's telling her even though I did it kinda late. It needed to be said. Now that Andros is not around I am in charge even if there is two of us." he said pacing back and forth. What am I doing?" he asks himself. Once again the boy left his room entering to Ashley's sleeping quarters again. "Look Ash NO matter how you feel about me. We are rangers first always. So can we at least stop some of Astronema's plan?" TJ asked. Ashley thought about the boy's words he was right. When she agreed a year ago to take over take over as the yellow turbo ranger; she was signed on to put her life second when it came to saving the world. No matter how much anger she had for TJ. The world needed power rangers and he was a power ranger. "I'm doing this for the benefit of the world." she said extending her hand. TJ shook her hand he hated that their relationship had come down to this. He exited the quarters. Once the door slide shut the boy leaned against the door, his body slides down to the floor. "It is all my fault. I never should have become a ranger." TJ said his knees came up to his chest. He bangs his head on the door.
The Mega ship reaches its destination, earth, although these teens were rangers setting them apart from the other teens. The thing they shared in common with other teens was high school. "Ashley, TJ we have reach earth you test is in one hour." D.E.C.A said over the intercom. TJ had banged his head for the last time on that door. "I got to stop feeling like I have responsibilities now. Being a ranger, a leader, and a student. I've done what I could today as far as being a ranger, now I have to move. I can't keep letting the past control me. Learn from the past live in the present." TJ said. The door slid up Ashley walked out she turned to the boy, her book bag twirled when she walk. "We have a study date are you ready?" she asked.
"Yeah." TJ said softly, this was a step in the right direction but now instead of trying to develop a loving relationship, now he had to build a friendship.
