Zhane stood outside the coolness of the night air caressing his skin. There
had been many nights on KO35 where he just stood there staring at the stars
wondering if they were the only ones in the universe. Now he knew there
were others like them, human identical in every way except for their mental
abilities. But sometimes there was an oddity , a wonderful exception, he
could feel their presence sometimes in a mall, or a park. Often he'd
wonder.
"Do they know?"
"A lot of them might." Andros answered reading his thoughts.
"I hate when you do that." Zhane said frowning.
"Zhane, we've always been connected. As Power-Rangers and as brothers."
"Brothers in all but blood." Zhane said smiling.
"Always."
"What's going on?" Zhane asked.
"Wes and Eric are upstairs, Eric's trying to get Wes to take a break but he's being stubborn."
"I'd be the same way if it were my child."
"I guess I would too." Andros said trying to imagine what his children would look like.
"You know, you don't have to postpone the wedding." Zhane said quietly.
"I know, but Ashley has her heart set Ariel as the flower girl. It would make her so happy."
"And you're okay with this?" Zhane asked.
"Yes, I think with the trouble that's coming a wedding is not a good idea right now. If anything were to spoil the wedding like an evil monster attacking the ceremony."
"Ashley would be crushed." Zhane finished.
"You didn't tell them about her?" Andros asked.
"About who?" Zhane asked innocently.
Andros frowned at him. He could tell when Zhane was lying.
"You know who."
Zhane dropped his head. "They had a right to know." He said defensively.
"Maybe they did, but it wasn't our place to say."
"Andros, I read Wes' thoughts. He's blaming himself for this. He can't go on torturing himself this way. But if I can help him contact Ariel, maybe it would give him some hope."
"Hope that his life will never be the same again." Andros said bitterly.
"Hope that he'll get his daughter back someday."
"I know, but we can't interfere here. It's true that Wes' family is some of the lost people from KO35 but that was years ago. They've forgotten where they came from, and that's the way its meant to be." Andros explained.
"But what if that's not the way it's supposed to be?" Zhane asked.
"It is what it is and right now we have to leave it be."
"But there are so many people right here in Angel grove that are from KO35. Why can't we help them recognize their gifts?"
"Because, about 50 percent of them are Power Rangers and the other people would take over the planet."
"I understand." Zhane said.
"So you'll leave it alone." Andros said trying to get him to promise to leave things as they were.
Zhane nodded, but behind his back his fingers were crossed.
"Do they know?"
"A lot of them might." Andros answered reading his thoughts.
"I hate when you do that." Zhane said frowning.
"Zhane, we've always been connected. As Power-Rangers and as brothers."
