"What?" Zhane and Dallas both yelled.
"With the exception of Jimanya that's my dream."
"How are we having the same dream?" Dallas asked. "I'm not a Lightning Ranger! I don't have the signature remember?"
"Be right back. I'm going to ask...someone." Tommy hurried out of the room.
"Dal can I ask you something?"
"Yeah." Dallas was distracted.
"I know that this is probably the wrong time to ask but I really want to. We've known each other since we were six. You went from being my best friend to being my girlfriend. I can't see myself with anyone but you. Dallas will you marry me?" He asked taking a ring off his finger.
Dallas was too shocked to say anything at first. She hadn't been expecting that question. But there was without a shadow of doubt the only answer she wanted to give. "Yes!" He slipped the ring onto her finger.
"Dallas?" A very tentative voice asked from the doorway ruining the moment for Dallas. Standing there was Jimanya.
"What?"
"We want to do a few tests. Kerovians don't typically have psychic flashes unless they have the Lightning signature."
"Are you saying I'm not Kerovian?" Dallas asked shocked.
"No that's not it at all. This has left me puzzled. Billy can do the tests."
"Fine." She said and went to the infirmary and allowed Billy to draw blood.
"I'll tell you the results later." Billy promised.
A few hours later all of the Rangers, including Jimanya, were called into the room. "I've got the test results back and they are very strange. Dallas you aren't Kerovian at all. You are 100% Edenoid."
"Wait does that mean Sora's Edenoid too?" Dallas asked.
"According to these results you two aren't related at all. I compared the DNA to some on the database and have found out whom Dallas is related to. I don't think anyone's going to be happy with it. Dallas you are the younger sister of Jimanya."
Silence fell in the room. Dallas teleported off the ship. She reappeared in front of her parent's home. She was hoping her parents would tell her the tests were wrong. She had to be Kerovian. There was no way she could be Edenoid. No way that her sister was the traitor Jimanya. She knocked on the door.
Her mother opened the door. "Dallas! What a pleasant surprise. Come in."
Dallas did. "Is dad home? I need to ask the two of you a question."
"Sure Dal. Take a seat and I will go get him." Both of her parents came in a moment later. "What did you want to ask?"
"I'm your daughter right? A test said I'm Edenoid."
Her parents exchanged glances. "Dal honey I guess you are old enough to know. We adopted you when you were a week old. We were going to tell you when you were eighteen but you disappeared when you were thirteen."
"Then I am Jimanya's sister." Dallas said.
"Dallas you are a princess?" Her father asked. "I always thought there was something special about you."
"Dal honey is that what I think it is?" Denise asked looking at the ring that was on Dallas' left ring finger.
"Yeah. Zhane and I are engaged. He asked me before I found out my life was a lie."
"Dallas I know this is a big shock to you, but your mother and I love you very much."
"I know. I love you guys too." She paused. "I punched Jimanya."
"You punched your sister?" Her father asked.
"Well I didn't know she was my sister at the time! She was the one that caused Tommy and Andros to switch bodies. She admitted to it. There's no way that I can be her sister."
"You are Dal." Sora said. She had come in and no one had noticed. "She called home and asked. Her parents confirmed it. You are not my sister." She said fighting back tears.
"You are my sister no matter what that test says."
"You are both my daughters." Denise said. Geoff nodded. They hugged. Denise saw Sora's hand. "You are engaged too Sora?"
"Yeah. Tommy proposed a few days ago. Wait. What do you mean too?" Dallas held up her hand. "You and Zhane are engaged?" Dallas nodded. "This is great! We can have a double wedding!"
"Sounds good." Dallas said.
"Maybe we should ask the uh king and queen of Edenoi? Maybe they'd like to be involved."
"They just found out I'm their daughter. They probably don't want to be involved. After all the gave me away."
"Dallas I'm sure they had their reasons. Maybe it was for your protection. After all Edenoi was a very hostile planet at the time. You met them before. What did you think of them?" Her father asked.
"I thought they were nice. They were grateful of us saving Jimanya. They seemed to really love her." Dallas hated telling her adopted parents how great her birth parents are. After all, they were the ones that took her in when her real parents didn't want her.
"Dallas you really should talk to Jimanya." Sora said. "You don't know how sorry she really is. Andros and Tommy forgave her and it happened to them!"
"She's not telling us everything. I can tell. I want to know what she's so afraid to tell us."
"Everyone's waiting for you to come back in order for us to jump. We've still got to get Leo back to the right time."
"You are right. Rangering should be my first concern." Dallas said getting up. She gave both of her parents a hug before teleporating back to the ship with Sora.
Jimanya was in the control room talking to Dimitria. Dallas walked past them. She wanted to tell Zhane she was back so that they could jump. Sora walked off to find Tommy.
"Hey there you are." A voice said from behind her.
Dallas turned around with a small smile. "I told my parents. They confirmed I was adopted when I was a week old. Oh and they are happy about our engagement. Sora wants a double wedding."
"Dal about Jim..."
"I don't want to deal with what I found out. We need to finish what we are doing. Are we going to jump or what?"
"Yeah sure let me go tell Dimitria. Jimanya's leaving was what I was going to tell you." He went into the control room.
They jumped. Jimanya left before they did. Dallas wondered if Jimanya did anything to help.
They went to explore and found themselves in the middle of a battlefield. It looked like a battle from their own past against Ecliptor and Darkonda. There were Defenders fighting.
The Solar Ranger, who they presumed was Roland, yelled "Tessa look out!" He said pushing the Comet Ranger down and away from a blast.
'Tessa?' Was the mental reply of all of the Defenders that jumped. They all presumed the Comet Ranger would be Alexis or Petra. Was this like the dimension they landed in where Power Rangers was a TV show? But then Elgar and Ecliptor were there like their own dimension.
They weren't sure if they should join the fight. The Defenders of this time seemed to be handling their own quite well. They got rid of the monsters without needing help. The Rangers from the dimension saw their lookalikes. The Star Defender came up to them and struck a defensive posture.
"Who are you and what are you doing here?" He saw Petra. "And why are you associated with a murderer?"
"We are from a different dimension." Zhane answered. "Where we are from, Astronema was destroyed and Petra survived and became one of us. She took over Alexis' powers after she died."
"If that's true," the Solar Ranger said. "Then what happened to Tessa?"
"Who's Tessa?" Dallas asked.
"Me." The Comet Ranger said demorphing. Both Tommy and Dallas gasped. She was the mystery girl from their dreams.
"But...but...but." Tommy stammered. "I've seen you in my dreams! How is it I'm seeing you?"
"Maybe we should have this conversation on the Talorn." The Thunder Ranger suggested.
"Who's Talorn?" Zhane asked.
"Ours." The Star Defender said. "But if you pull something..."
"We won't." Jason said. The Defenders from this dimension grabbed their counterparts and teleported on the ship.
"What happened to Alexis in your dimension?" Roland asked.
"She was shot by a Velocifighter when she was thirteen. We had been Rangers on KO-35 maybe a couple of weeks before she was shot. Dimitria found a replacement with Tessa and we continued from there." The Sun Defender answered. "What happened to Alexis in your dimension?"
Dallas had gone white. Zhane helped her into a chair.
"She was killed by Astronema. She jumped in front of me and took a fatal shot." Roland answered.
"We never found her body." Dallas said. "The morpher came back but her body disappeared."
"What?" Everyone from her dimension, with the exception of Zhane, yelled.
"I went back to get the body and it was missing. Remember Zhane?"
*"Dal calm down. You've got a concussion." Zhane said. "Don't make me sedate you like I did Roland and Tommy." Roland and Tommy both had to be sedated because they were hysterical. Zhane would have done the same to Dallas but she had a slight concussion.
"Zhane listen to me! Her body's gone. I went back to where we left it. And it was gone. Someone took it!" She started shaking. Suddenly a morpher landed in her hand. She didn't have to look down to know it was Alexis'. *
"If only we had taken her body with us right away!" Dallas said.
"Dal most everyone was injured or hysterical. You were hurt too."
"Why didn't you tell me?" Roland demanded. "I had a right to know! She was my girlfriend."
"Uh guys maybe we should have this conversation later?" Leo suggested. Things could turn ugly as they did earlier with Dallas and Jimanya.
"Leo's right." Sora said. "We should talk about this later. It's nice to meet you Tessa. Things are a bit of a mess where we are from.
Roland wasn't happy to hear about what happened in this dimension. Alexis died at thirteen? What happened in our dimension that made it different? Is Dallas right? Does Jimanya know more then she's saying?
