A reason to sing: Cassie
'How did I get so lucky?' She sighed as she stared at his still figure sound asleep next to her. 'Who would have thought I would have found you halfway across the galaxy?' She smiled as she remembered the day the phantom ranger had intruded on their lives. After that, she had never been the same. She waited days at a time for any news of him, the endless nights she wondered if he was okay. Now she didn't have to wonder any more. With the destruction of evil, and the Galaxy rangers to fight for good, the astro rangers were free to relax. A right they had truly earned.
She had forgotten what it was like on earth. She had spent most of the last two years traveling with her best friends in space, fighting and defeating evil. She didn't regret it. How could she? She had a group of friends she loved dearly, and she had found the love of her life. She never imagined it would happen that way. One thing she had learned as a ranger is that things don't go according to your plan. Sometimes there are things more important than you. Things more important than prom and all those other ritualistic high school things.
She had never been the optimistic kind. If you read all the songs she had written before becoming a ranger, well they were depressing. But after meeting Ashley and her unrelenting optimism, as well as falling in love, she had found hope. She found a reason to sing. All the while she fought monsters and struggled through high school, she had never lost her love for music. Which is how she got her job at the café, waitressing most days, and singing on stage many other times. She wished everyone could feel how she felt. She had never had a serious boyfriend before Saryn, never fallen in love before him. And she knew she would never again, now that she had him.
He loved her for who she was. He simply accepted her, flaws and all. And she had plenty, if she were honest with herself. She could be moody and critical, and just a little bit selfish, just to name a few. She wasn't oblivious to his faults either, but when you consider what they had to go through just to be together, they seemed so trivial. And so did her past. She forgave her family for their neglect, and she forgave herself for her past mistakes. She learned to let them go. And that freedom that she gained from those decisions and from him was her motivation, her reason to sing. To pass on hope, to be different from everyone else who says there's no hope. She should know. And so she keeps on singing.
