Chapter 33: Goodbye to You
Author's Note: I don't own the Power Rangers or Michelle Branch's song Goodbye to You. I only own the plot and the characters that down exist.
The day before Ann left Earth, she had her last gig at the cyberspace café and had her mother's guitar in hand. She took a deep breath and started singing.
Of all the things
I've believed in
I just want to
Get it over with
Tears form behind my eyes
But I do not cry
Counting the days
That pass me by
I've been searching
Deep down in my soul
Words that I'm hearing
Are starting to get old
It feels like
I'm starting all over again
The last three years
Were just pretend
And I said
"Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything
I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that
I tried to hold on to"
I still get lost in your eyes
And it seems that
I can't live a day without you
Closing my eyes and
You chase my thoughts away
To a place where
I am blinded by the light
But it's not right
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything
I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that
I tried to hold on to
And it hurts to want everything
And nothing at the same time
I want what's yours
And I want what's mine
I want you
But I'm not giving in this time
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything
I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that
I tried to hold on to
Goodbye to you
Goodbye to everything
I thought I knew
You were the one I loved
The one thing that
I tried to hold on to
The one thing that
I tried to hold on to
And when the stars fall
I will lie awake
You're my shooting star
Ann got off stage and knew that it was time to go when she saw the looks on the Space Rangers' faces.
As the rest of the Rangers got ready to leave, Ann stood in front of Brandon. "Well, this is it," she sighed.
"Yeah this is it," he murmured.
Ann touched his face and looked at him. "I'll send a transmission from time to time when I'm not fighting Jaya. Brandon, you have to understand. Since I am the most powerful Power Ranger in history, I have to do what is right and that means that I have to leave this place to help other Rangers that need me," she stated. Brandon nodded before hugging her.
"Just take care of yourself, Fox," he murmured.
Ann smiled, the pet name Brandon gave her when she received the powers of the Pink Fox. She then walked over to her brothers and sisters. "Rebecca, you better take care of team or I'll come back and beat you to the next dimension," Ann teased. Rebecca tried to hold back her tears and embraced her sister. Josh then hugged her as well. "I'll be back soon, I promise," she assured. She placed a kiss on little Tommy, Trent, and Katie's foreheads before kissing her parents goodbye. Kimberly felt tears press against her eyes as Ann started towards the ship.
"WAIT! ANN!" A voice called.
Ann turned around to see that it was Jack. She ran over to him and they stopped a few inches from each other. "Here, I made this for you," he stated. He placed a picture frame into her hands.
It was made of beautiful oak. Around it was a fox, a cobra, a Wyvren, leviathan, Pegasus, coyote, eagle, black tiger, snow leopard, a cheetah, and a snake.
Tears welled up in her eyes as she looked at the picture. It was all of them at their school graduation. Even their families were in the picture.
Ann looked at Jack with a smile. A tear fell from her eye and she hugged him. "Thank you," she whispered. Jack smiled and hugged her back.
"You're welcome, now, go get them, Pink Ranger," he whispered back.
Ann kissed his cheek before going towards the ship. She stopped before getting in. She waved as the door closed.
She walked to the bridge and looked at the screen.Her friends and family were waving goodbye. She sat in the chair and took a deep breath. "We're taking off in three...two...one now," Andros informed. Then the ship went off into space.
