AN: Well, I'm not sure if any of you are reading this since I don't think I got any reviews last chapter. So, if you read this, PLEASE review! Please? Ok, now, enjoy!
COMING HOME
Trini smiled as a warm hand brushed her cheek. She opened her eyes and saw a pair of green eyes watching her. "Hey."
Billy smiled. "Hey." He let her sit up and stretch. "Sarah is down getting some breakfast with Zack. Get dressed and join us. They will get us some food."
"Okay." She climbed out of bed and got her clothes. "How long have you been sitting here?"
"Only a few minutes. Just enough time to let them leave before waking you up." He smiled as she paused in the bathroom doorway to look at him. "I couldn't let you sleep when my stomach was growling."
Trini laughed as she cracked the door open. "I'll bet!" She quickly got dressed and brushed her hair. "Okay, lets go." She set her pajamas back on her bed and pulled him towards the door.
Down at the cafeteria, Zack laughed. "So, how long do you think they will take to get down here?"
"Well, I know Billy was hungry so not that long." She smiled as they walked in. "See!" She waved them over as Zack laughed.
"Hey, thanks for getting us some food." Trini took her breakfast and dug in. "So, what's on the agenda for today?"
"Well, I have to take my last final and then we can all get our stuff ready to go." Sarah smiled. "Then we are going to go check out of the dorm and do whatever we want for the rest of the time."
Eric smiled. "I have a friend at the airport that is flying to California tonight on his own plane. He said he could give you a lift and it will get you there faster. They only have to stop for refueling somewhere on the east coast."
Zack smiled. "That would be great man! But how do you know him?"
Eric grinned as they threw their garbage away and headed back to the dorm. "He is a good friend of my father's. He has friends over here that he came to visit. In fact, he is my ride home."
"That's great!" Trini sighed as they entered her room. "So, what are we going to do while Sarah takes her final?"
Billy laughed. "We are going to wait in the lounge like idiots and then take her to lunch!"
Zack grinned. "Or, we are going to wait until she gets done and then check out and go rampant on the airport."
"I like the sound of that!" Sarah smiled. "The airport has a game arcade that we can go to while we wait for our flight."
Eric nodded. "Yeah, its an awesome arcade. I waited there while my friend made arrangements with the airport people about his plane."
Zack smiled. "Well, I guess that settles it! We will wait for her to get done, check ourselves out, and go play at the airport!"
Sarah grabbed her backpack and headed towards the door. "Well, this should only take an hour so where should I meet you guys?"
Eric shrugged and looked at Trini. "Maybe down in the lounge?"
"Yeah, the building has a lounge on the first floor." She turned to Sarah. "Meet us down there when you are done."
"Ok. See you then!" She sprinted off towards her class as they walked behind.
Billy sighed as he took in the whole scene before them. "You know what?"
"What?" Eric looked over to see him looking up. "What are you looking at?"
"I was just thinking. Have you guys noticed that it seems to be really quiet around this time of day?" Billy looked over at them and grinned. "I can see why people love sending their kids to school."
Trini laughed as they all began walking again. "I see your point Billy. It's nice and relaxing."
Zack smiled. "Well, I can't wait to get back home. I actually miss Mrs. Applebee's class. And I am really missing Mr. Kaplan."
"Me too." Billy grinned. "I also miss my science."
"You would man. Only you would." Zack smacked his arm as they entered the building and headed for the lounge. "So who's going to join me in a game of pool?"
"I will." Eric smiled and picked up a cue. "Who's going first?"
"You. I'll rack em." Zack set the balls up as Billy and Trini found a shooting game to play. "You guys practicing?"
Billy shrugged. "If that's what you want to call it. I'll have you know that we are hunting wabbits." He grinned and laughed like Elmer Fudd.
Eric laughed. "Hey, that was really close to Elmer Fudd!" He saw Billy smirk before shooting some more targets.
"I learned that from my mom. Dad taught me something else." Billy winked at Zack. "I can't say what they are though."
Zack laughed. "You are right about that!" He grinned at Eric. "He really can't say cause its something he can do."
"Oh, I see." Eric smiled and put the 8 ball in the pocket. "I win."
The four of them continued joking around until Sarah joined them. "Hey guys! I'm done!" She sat down on a chair as they finished their games. "What do we do now?"
"We go back and get all of our stuff and sign out. Then we are going to hang around at the airport till Eric's friend is ready." Trini smiled and pulled her friend up. "Let's go."
Billy looked at Zack. "You have everything packed?"
"Yeah. I made a list and checked it twice." He grinned. "But I didn't find out who was naughty or nice."
Trini laughed. "Good one Zack!" She turned to Sarah. "We got all of our stuff ready right? We checked our list 2 times."
"Yeah. All we have to do is get our brushes and the stuff we used this morning." Sarah grinned at Eric. "And we have an extra person to help us carry the stuff."
Eric frowned. "And I thought I was getting out of it by carrying my own bag."
Sarah laughed. "Well, Billy can help Trini and you can help me."
Billy laughed. "Yeah, and we can all help Zack!"
"Gee thanks!" Zack stuck his tongue out as they walked into the dorm. "See you girls in about 10 minutes!" He pulled Billy and Eric towards the other set of elevators.
10 minutes later, Billy and Eric walked into the girls' room. "You girls ready?"
"Yep!" Trini handed him a bag as Eric was given one by Sarah. "If you guys can carry these, we will get the rest and then we can head down."
"Sure." Eric took another small bag from Sarah and turned to Billy. "Let's go!" They went and stood in the hall while the girls took one last look around the room.
Sarah closed the door behind them and smiled. "Now, let's get out of here!"
As they stepped off the elevator, Zack greeted them with a luggage carrier. "Hey guys, thought you might need some help with your bags."
"Gladly." Trini let him take one of her bags before unloading the rest of hers and Sarah's. "Let's go check out and turn in our keys."
The woman behind the desk smiled up at them. "You kids have a nice time here?"
"Yeah, it was awesome. I'm actually going to miss it though." Trini smiled as she signed her name on the sheet they were given. "Here's my key."
"Thank you Trini." She took the keys from Sarah and Trini before turning to Zack. "Now I need you to sign Zack."
He handed her his key and signed the paper. "As much as I really look forward to going back, I am gonna miss this place too."
"Well, you kids are welcome to come back any time! Just give us a call and we can find someplace for you to stay while visiting." She handed each of them a certificate. "This is for all the hard work you've done here."
Billy looked over Trini's shoulder. "That's great! Now you have something else to add to your trophy display."
"Billy, there is one for you too. You were a part of this as well as Jason." She handed him 2 certificates. "Please see that he gets this. And thank him for us. He is welcome to come back and visit as well."
Billy nodded and smiled. "Thank you. I will tell him." He turned to the others. "Ready?"
Eric smiled. "Let's go!"
Zack pushed the luggage carrier out to the curb as a cab pulled up. "I called us a cab guys. Its a van so there is enough room for all of us."
The cab driver got out and began to load their bags into the trunk. "I'm sorry kids but I was told that I was to carry the luggage. You will be getting a ride from someone else."
Billy looked at him in confusion. "Why?"
Eric grinned as a limo pulled up behind the cab. "Because that's why." He pointed to the man stepping out of the back. "This is my friend Mark."
Mark smiled. "Eric told me that you were gonna be leaving so I called the people here and they told me when you would be leaving. I then called the taxi cab place to make sure that if they were called, I would be there at the same time." He smiled to the cab driver. "Just go to the airports private gate. I told them you would be coming." He handed some money to the driver. "Keep the change."
"Yes sir. Thank you sir." The cab driver got back in and drove off.
"Now, how about that ride to the airport?" He motioned them in. "Sit where you want."
Once they were all in, they pulled out and headed to the airport. Trini marveled at the inside of the limo. "Is this a private limo? I didn't think they put all this stuff into one that they rent."
Mark laughed. "Yes, it is my own private limo. I let friends use it or any business acquaintance." He looked them all over. "So, you kids looking forward to heading home?"
"Yeah, we have been away for too long." Zack smiled. "But it was worth it."
"Yeah, it was a great experience that I would do all over again." Trini looked at Billy. "But its great to be going back home."
Mark smiled and looked at Sarah. "And you get to be back with Eric here huh?"
"Yeah." She smiled over at him. "I miss being home and I know my dog will be happy to see me."
Eric laughed. "She was happy to see me a few days ago when your mom had her out for a walk."
Mark laughed as they pulled up to a private gate. "Well, we are here. Just go through that gate and your bags will be there. Tell them you are with me and they will tell you which way to go." He waved as they got out and his driver pulled around to another entrance.
Eric watched them take a look around before heading inside. "You shouldn't have to worry about getting the luggage loaded. Mark has a crew that does it. He handpicked them and they go with him everywhere."
The teens nodded and headed for the desk. After getting their luggage checked in, they grabbed their carryon bags and followed the directions they were given. When they reached their gate, they saw Mark standing with a man in front of the doors.
Mark smiled. "This is my pilot. He is just heading out to get the plane started. We will be leaving earlier than expected. You ready?"
Eric nodded. "We're ready." The teens followed Mark and the pilot out to the plane.
8 hours later, Billy stepped off the plane and smiled. "Well, its definitely Cali!" He waited until they were all off the plane before turning to Mark. "Thanks for the ride home."
"Hey, it was nothing." He saw one of his assistants and smiled. "I have to get back to business. It was nice to meet you kids." He patted Eric's shoulder. "Tell your dad I will see him tomorrow."
"Ok. Thanks." Eric smiled as the man left. "Well, let's get our luggage." He led them to the terminal and to where the luggage would be. "I'll get my car." He gave Trini a hug before heading to the garage. "See you around."
Once they each had their bags, they looked at each other. Sarah gave Trini a hug. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too. But at least you will be close enough to visit!" Trini smiled as the rest of the teens laughed. "I'll call ya in a few days."
"Ok." Sarah saw Eric pull up in his car. "Well, I guess I'll talk to you later. Bye Zack and Billy."
"Bye." Billy grinned at Zack as they answered simultaneously.
Zack pointed as a car pulled up next to them. "Hey! There's my dad!" They laughed as Billy's dad pulled up behind Mr. Taylor.
Trini's dad hopped out of Hank's car and pulled her into a hug. "Hey, welcome home!"
Trini laughed as Zack was pulled into a hug from his dad. "Well, its good to be home."
Billy smiled up at his dad. "Well, who's riding with who?" He helped his dad put luggage into his car.
"Well, since it would be wrong to separate you guys, we are going to take one car and you will take another." Hank smiled as the others joined them. You guys take the Taylor's car and I will drop off your bags at your homes."
Zack smiled. "Ok. But where are we going to go?"
Robert Taylor smiled. "Well, Robert, you can go to Hanks house."
Billy laughed. "So, you noticed." As the others laughed, he ducked his dad's hand. "Hey, it was Trini's idea!"
"Well, you all look great. Just like your parents!" Lee Kwan smiled at Trini. "Your mom is going to love it." He clapped his hands together. "Now, you guys head on over to Billy's. Your moms will be there soon."
Zack took his dad's keys and hopped in. "See you guys there!" Once they were all in, he took off.
Hank laughed. "I hope we weren't like that when we were that age!"
Lee laughed. "I have a feeling we were!" He and his friends laughed. "Just wait until next Saturday. They will love the whole party."
Robert smiled as they headed off to drop off their kids' luggage. "Well, I have a plan that will really get them."
3 hours later, Zack waved as the Taylors and Kwans drove off. "Well, now we have to get our stuff ready for our disguises."
Hank laughed. "Well, I know that your friends will all be at the park tomorrow around noon. You could surprise them. Right now though, I have a surprise in the garage for Billy and Trini."
Billy looked at Trini and shrugged before following his dad out. He flipped on the light and froze. "Oh wow! That looks like my hover skid!"
Hank smiled. "It is. Ernie and I helped them make it into a motorcycle. They had one made to look like it for Trini." He uncovered a bike right next to Billy's.
Trini gasped and smiled. "Wow. It looks exactly like yours Billy! Only with the yellow and blue reversed."
"They are great bikes guys." Zack ran a hand over Billy's. "Man, these would be perfect to surprise the gang with."
Hank laughed. "That's what I thought. Your helmets even have built in microphones so you can talk to each other."
"Awesome!" Trini grinned at Billy. "We can get our biker outfits to wear tomorrow. They won't know its us!" She turned to Hank. "We got some wigs that have voice changers in them. When turned on, we won't sound like ourselves."
"That's great. Where did you guys find them?" Hank took a paper from Billy. "Wow, I'll have to check this place out this weekend." He smiled as they each yawned. "Come on, why don't you kids get some sleep."
Billy nodded and they headed in. Once they had the lights out, they all fell into a deep sleep.
Hank smiled as he looked in on the teens. "Time to get up!" He laughed as Zack quickly sat up. "Good morning to you too Zack!"
"Hey Mr. C." He rubbed his eyes and stretched as the other two woke up. "Man, I feel like I have been asleep for years!"
Billy smiled as he stood up. "Yeah, its the jet lag. We got extra sleep because we had a big time difference."
Trini sighed as she stretched. "Well, we better get breakfast, showered, and dressed if we are going to beat the others to the park."
"I have some French toast downstairs for you when you are ready." Hank smiled. "And Billy, you are supposed to call a Mr. Chan sometime this morning."
"Oh yeah!" He smiled at Trini. "Will do dad." When his father watched him, he smiled. "Don't worry. Its a surprise."
Hank nodded. "I will see you kids later." He closed the door and headed downstairs.
Billy looked at Zack. "Trini, can get her shower first, then you. I will call Mr. Chan while you guys are doing that." He saw Trini nod and head towards the bathroom with her stuff. He picked up his phone and called their instructor. By the time Zack had gotten out of the shower and dressed, he had set it all up with Master Chan and Ernie.
"So, what's the plan?" Trini looked up as Zack entered the room.
"We will go to Master Chan's in the afternoon and we will do our school work with Bulk and Skull in the mornings. On the weekends, we all will be helping Bulk and Skull with weights and other stuff." He paused to grab his things. "Dad said Ernie is going to have a party for us when we come back so that will be next weekend. This weekend, we will be focusing on getting caught up with Master Chan."
Trini nodded as he headed for the door. "We will meet you downstairs then." She and Zack headed downstairs while he headed for the bathroom.
Once they were fed and ready to go, they hopped onto their bikes. Zack hopped onto the bike with Billy. "Let's go man. I can't wait to see their faces!"
"Chill Zack. We will be early. But we can pretend we are from out of town and enjoying the park." He followed Trini out of his driveway and towards the park. Once there, they parked and hopped off. "This is the perfect place to park. They will definitely see the bikes. We can watch them from our table."
Zack smiled as they headed towards the usual table the gang used. "They will head right for the table and see us there."
"That's the whole idea Zack. BUT, we can also be doing something." She pointed to a stand nearby. "Why don't we leave these bags here and pretend to be looking around?"
"Excellent idea!" Billy set his bag down and followed them to the stands that were set up. "Hey, I think I see Tommy and Kim." He nodded to the white jeep that pulled up next to their bikes.
Zack laughed. "And he is totally checking out the bikes!" He grinned as the others joined the two. "Well, they are all here. Shall we head back?"
Trini nodded and they headed back to their bags. As they sat down, they noticed the gang watching them. "Thank god our voice changers are turned on. Let's go to Ernie's. That way we can talk and not have them hear us."
Billy nodded and got up. "By the way, we need names if we are going to be wearing these disguises. I'll go by Michael."
"I'll be Cleo." She looked at Zack. "Who you going to be?"
"Call me Darren" Zack smiled as they headed for their bikes. Then they realized that their friends blocked the only path. "Excuse us."
Kim stepped aside as they walked through. "Hey, are you guys new around here?"
Billy smiled and turned to her. "Yes and no. We are just visiting a friend of ours who recently moved nearby." He waited as she walked up to him.
"Well, we live here so if you need someone to show you around we can help." She held out her hand. "I'm Kim."
Billy smiled. "I'm Michael. This is Cleo and Darren."
Tommy nodded to them. "Where are you headed to?"
Trini/Cleo shrugged. "We were going to find some place to get a drink or at least a light snack." She turned to Billy/Michael. "Or do you want to find a place to just sit and relax?
"Well, I could really use some ice cream or smoothie right now." He turned to Zack/Darren. "What about you?"
"Sounds good to me!" He turned to the others. "Where can we get something like that?"
Jason grinned. "Ernie's is the best in this area. We can show you the way if you'd like! Where are you parked? I'm Jason by the way."
Billy/Michael smiled. "Nice to meet you. We are parked right ahead."
Trini followed him to their bikes and grabbed her helmet. "You lead the way and we will follow."
Kim gaped at the bikes. "Those are your bikes?"
Billy smiled. "Yeah. They were made especially for us. One of my friends painted it. Hers was painted to match mine, only in a different way."
Trini watched them look at each other. "I love the color yellow but he loves the color blue. So his friend painted them to match us." She saw them nod and get into their cars. "Lead the way!"
Once at the Juice bar, Ernie saw the teens head in. "Hey guys, who are your friends?"
Billy held out his hand. "I'm Michael. This is Darren and Cleo."
Ernie shook his hand and noticed something similar. Warily, he looked closer at the face. "Are you guys from around here? I'm Ernie."
"We are just visiting a friend. We are going to be here all week." Billy smiled and winked.
Ernie grinned at Billy's wink. "Well then, your first drink is on the house!" He turned to the others. "That goes for you guys too for bringing them here."
"You sure about that? I mean won't your boss be mad?" Billy grinned and winked.
"Ernie is the owner." Kat smiled as they sat down at their regular table. "What do you guys want to drink?"
Billy looked At Trini and Zack. "Strawberry smoothie?" When they nodded, he looked up at Ernie. "Can we get that?"
"Absolutely Michael." He turned other others. "The regulars?"
"Yeah." He laughed as they answered in unison.
The teens hung out for the rest of the day. As it was getting late, Zack stood up. "Well, we better be getting back before it gets too late."
"Thanks for coming with us. Like we said. If you need someone to show you around, let us know. You can always find us here after school. If not, then we are usually in the park." Jason smiled as they nodded and headed out. Once they were out of earshot, he turned towards the others. "I wonder where they are from."
"I don't know but I do know that Darren is kinda cute." Amanda smiled as they all rolled their eyes. "Hey, its not like I'm dating Zack or anything!"
"She's right guys! Let her alone!" Aisha stood up and headed for the door. "I gotta get going. See you guys later."
The rangers said their goodbyes and split up. Ernie watched with a smile. "Billy is really going to get it for not letting Kim in on that plan." He shook his head and began cleaning up.
Across town, 5 adults were having a conversation.
"I think we should do a few songs, then have these five come up and sing with us. After all, they each have lived somewhere outside of California." The man leaned back against the chair he was in. His sandy blonde hair was ruffled from where he kept running a hand through it.
"I agree." A tall man grinned as he leaned forward. "Who knows, Maybe they will even sing a few songs on their own."
A third man laughed. "Yeah, after all, they are all talented enough. And we know they can all sing. I say we do it." He held out his hand. "Deal?"
4 hands came down on top of his and five voices combined. "Deal." The five men stood up and headed their separate ways.
The next morning, Billy stood outside the building as a young girl ran out. "Liana?" He smiled when she paused.
"Who are you?" she took a step back and looked around. "I'm waiting for a friend."
Billy took off his wig. "It's me." He laughed as she gave him a hug. "We are wearing disguises so that our friends won't know we are back until our homecoming party."
She smiled up at him and looked over at his friend. "You must be Trini." She held out her hand.
"Hi. Billy's told me about you." She smiled at the girl as she shook her hand. "So, you help out around here?"
"Yeah. I'm supposed to tell you to go to my grandfather's office. Your stuff is in there." She led them inside. "I will go tell Uncle you are here."
"Thanks Liana." Billy watched her leave and pulled Trini down a hall. He stopped outside an office and frowned.
"What's the matter?" Trini saw his hand freeze before gripping the handle.
"I haven't been in here since before the tournament." He took a deep breath and opened the door.
Trini followed him in and smiled. "Wow, he must have really liked you." She walked over to the desk and picked up a picture of Billy and Liana. "This is a good picture."
"He loved his granddaughter. Liana loved Billy." Master Chan walked in and smiled at them. "I'm glad you made it."
Trini smiled and took the package he handed her. "What is this?"
"It is something I was going to give you before you moved." He motioned to a package on the desk. "Billy, that was going to be for you. He died before getting a chance to give it to you."
Billy picked up the package and unwrapped it. "Wow, this is beautiful!" He looked over as Trini held up an exact replica of the lance he held.
"When we were younger, we attended the same academy. Upon reaching a certain skill level, our master gave us each a sword. One gold, and one silver. He said that no fencer has ever scored that high on the skill test and you two did the same." He nodded to their lances. "We got together and had them melted down and made into two others. He bested me by one point but you two scored the same."
Trini smiled. "Thank you." She looked at the desk and saw two piles of clothes. "Are those our uniforms?"
"Yes they are. But Liana has something to add to them." He moved aside as the door opened. "Come in Liana."
"Hello uncle. I brought them." She handed him two pieces of material.
Thank you." He held them out to Billy and Trini. "We noticed that the two of you had a signature color. These are belts that signify your skill level and the high score you were given. Not very many people have one."
Billy took the black belt with the blue stripes on the end while Trini took the black with yellow stripes. "Thank you Liana. How did you get them with these colors?" He saw her smile.
"Grandpa always told me that you were drawn to the color for some reason. And I assumed the same for Trini. So, when Uncle ordered the belts, I told him to get one with blue and one with yellow." She laughed as Billy pulled her into a hug. "You are welcome."
Billy laughed as Master Chan cleared his throat. "We better get ready so we can get our stretching done."
She nodded and headed out the door, her uncle following. "See you later!"
After changing and stretching, they joined Master Chan in some basic maneuvers. Then he let them get into the practice. 3 hours later, he clapped his hands together. "Well done! You two haven't forgotten! You are a little rusty on some stuff but you knew what to do."
Billy smiled as he took his mask off. "Well, I guess its like riding a bike."
"That it is Billy." He walked them over to the door to the hall. "Go rest and I will see you tomorrow afternoon."
Billy smiled as they left the room. "So, what should we do now?"
"I don't know. I am feeling a little worn out. Maybe we should just go rest." She opened the door to the office. "Hey, there's a note on the desk."
Billy read the note and smiled. "This is from Liana. It says that her uncle has his own office so this one is mine. The place was left to her and her dad and they said I can use it as my own office if I want to teach classes."
"Do you want to?" Trini finished changing and walked over.
"I don't know yet." He finished changing and smiled. "I just might, if I have the time."
They headed outside after putting their gear in the closet of the office. Liana joined them at the main door. "Billy, think about that note. Daddy and I would really like it if you joined the staff. We can work out any arrangement."
"I will think about it and let you know by the end of the week." He looked at Trini. "I have to discuss a few things with someone else."
"Ok with me Billy." She turned to Trini. "Uncle has asked me to ask you the same thing. If you are interested, you can teach as well. He will make sure you get all the certifications needed."
Trini nodded. "I'll think about it." She looked at her watch. "We have to get going. We'll see you tomorrow Liana."
"Bye!" The girl waved as they rode off on their bikes before heading back in.
Once at the Cranston's, they sat down on the couch. 2 hours later, they woke up and joined Zack and Hank in the kitchen for dinner. "Hey, you two have a nice day?"
Billy glared at Zack. "It was great. Just a tad tiring though."
Hank laughed. "It looks like it." He poured some soup into bowls for them. "Eat up. There is some salad in the bowl."
Trini got some salad and dug in. "This is good Hank. What did you put in it?"
Hank laughed. "That's for us to know and you to find out!" He winked at Billy and dug into his own food. "So, what time are you guys going to be home tomorrow?"
Billy shrugged. "Well, we will be with Zack and Bulk and Skull in the morning. Then we will be somewhere else in the afternoon. I guess we will probably be at the command center if there is an attack."
Trini gasped. "Oh my gosh! I forgot about that!" She looked at Billy. "I had a weird dream last night that I wanted to talk to Zordon about."
Billy nodded. "We can talk to him when we are done."
Zack finished off his soup and put his dishes in the dishwasher. "Well, I don't know about you guys but I am itching to go see Alpha and Zordon."
Billy grinned as his dad finished his supper. "Dad, would you be able to take over the juice bar for a week if needed?"
Hank looked at him in confusion. "Why?"
"Because if Trini's dream means what I think it means, we may have to go to Phaedos for a whole week. But if we are going to be gone all week, we will need Ernie there because of school work." He grinned as he finished his food. "Actually, I think Ernie's one friend would watch it too."
Hank nodded. "I will talk to Ernie while you go talk to Zordon." He got up and picked up the phone. "I'll let you know."
Billy nodded and they teleported out. When they arrived in the chamber, they saw Alpha just standing there. "Alpha?"
"Billy!" Alpha turned and walked over to them. "What are you doing here?"
"I had a dream last night and I need to know what you think of it." Trini stepped towards Zordon's tube. An hour later, they left the Command Center and teleported back to Billy's.
"What did he say?" Hank looked up from the news and saw their faces. "Bad news?"
AN: Well, as usual, I hope you all liked it! I will be having some more surprises coming before they reveal themselves to the others.
AN: Well, I'm not sure if any of you are reading this since I don't think I got any reviews last chapter. So, if you read this, PLEASE review! Please? Ok, now, enjoy!
COMING HOME
Trini smiled as a warm hand brushed her cheek. She opened her eyes and saw a pair of green eyes watching her. "Hey."
Billy smiled. "Hey." He let her sit up and stretch. "Sarah is down getting some breakfast with Zack. Get dressed and join us. They will get us some food."
"Okay." She climbed out of bed and got her clothes. "How long have you been sitting here?"
"Only a few minutes. Just enough time to let them leave before waking you up." He smiled as she paused in the bathroom doorway to look at him. "I couldn't let you sleep when my stomach was growling."
Trini laughed as she cracked the door open. "I'll bet!" She quickly got dressed and brushed her hair. "Okay, lets go." She set her pajamas back on her bed and pulled him towards the door.
Down at the cafeteria, Zack laughed. "So, how long do you think they will take to get down here?"
"Well, I know Billy was hungry so not that long." She smiled as they walked in. "See!" She waved them over as Zack laughed.
"Hey, thanks for getting us some food." Trini took her breakfast and dug in. "So, what's on the agenda for today?"
"Well, I have to take my last final and then we can all get our stuff ready to go." Sarah smiled. "Then we are going to go check out of the dorm and do whatever we want for the rest of the time."
Eric smiled. "I have a friend at the airport that is flying to California tonight on his own plane. He said he could give you a lift and it will get you there faster. They only have to stop for refueling somewhere on the east coast."
Zack smiled. "That would be great man! But how do you know him?"
Eric grinned as they threw their garbage away and headed back to the dorm. "He is a good friend of my father's. He has friends over here that he came to visit. In fact, he is my ride home."
"That's great!" Trini sighed as they entered her room. "So, what are we going to do while Sarah takes her final?"
Billy laughed. "We are going to wait in the lounge like idiots and then take her to lunch!"
Zack grinned. "Or, we are going to wait until she gets done and then check out and go rampant on the airport."
"I like the sound of that!" Sarah smiled. "The airport has a game arcade that we can go to while we wait for our flight."
Eric nodded. "Yeah, its an awesome arcade. I waited there while my friend made arrangements with the airport people about his plane."
Zack smiled. "Well, I guess that settles it! We will wait for her to get done, check ourselves out, and go play at the airport!"
Sarah grabbed her backpack and headed towards the door. "Well, this should only take an hour so where should I meet you guys?"
Eric shrugged and looked at Trini. "Maybe down in the lounge?"
"Yeah, the building has a lounge on the first floor." She turned to Sarah. "Meet us down there when you are done."
"Ok. See you then!" She sprinted off towards her class as they walked behind.
Billy sighed as he took in the whole scene before them. "You know what?"
"What?" Eric looked over to see him looking up. "What are you looking at?"
"I was just thinking. Have you guys noticed that it seems to be really quiet around this time of day?" Billy looked over at them and grinned. "I can see why people love sending their kids to school."
Trini laughed as they all began walking again. "I see your point Billy. It's nice and relaxing."
Zack smiled. "Well, I can't wait to get back home. I actually miss Mrs. Applebee's class. And I am really missing Mr. Kaplan."
"Me too." Billy grinned. "I also miss my science."
"You would man. Only you would." Zack smacked his arm as they entered the building and headed for the lounge. "So who's going to join me in a game of pool?"
"I will." Eric smiled and picked up a cue. "Who's going first?"
"You. I'll rack em." Zack set the balls up as Billy and Trini found a shooting game to play. "You guys practicing?"
Billy shrugged. "If that's what you want to call it. I'll have you know that we are hunting wabbits." He grinned and laughed like Elmer Fudd.
Eric laughed. "Hey, that was really close to Elmer Fudd!" He saw Billy smirk before shooting some more targets.
"I learned that from my mom. Dad taught me something else." Billy winked at Zack. "I can't say what they are though."
Zack laughed. "You are right about that!" He grinned at Eric. "He really can't say cause its something he can do."
"Oh, I see." Eric smiled and put the 8 ball in the pocket. "I win."
The four of them continued joking around until Sarah joined them. "Hey guys! I'm done!" She sat down on a chair as they finished their games. "What do we do now?"
"We go back and get all of our stuff and sign out. Then we are going to hang around at the airport till Eric's friend is ready." Trini smiled and pulled her friend up. "Let's go."
Billy looked at Zack. "You have everything packed?"
"Yeah. I made a list and checked it twice." He grinned. "But I didn't find out who was naughty or nice."
Trini laughed. "Good one Zack!" She turned to Sarah. "We got all of our stuff ready right? We checked our list 2 times."
"Yeah. All we have to do is get our brushes and the stuff we used this morning." Sarah grinned at Eric. "And we have an extra person to help us carry the stuff."
Eric frowned. "And I thought I was getting out of it by carrying my own bag."
Sarah laughed. "Well, Billy can help Trini and you can help me."
Billy laughed. "Yeah, and we can all help Zack!"
"Gee thanks!" Zack stuck his tongue out as they walked into the dorm. "See you girls in about 10 minutes!" He pulled Billy and Eric towards the other set of elevators.
10 minutes later, Billy and Eric walked into the girls' room. "You girls ready?"
"Yep!" Trini handed him a bag as Eric was given one by Sarah. "If you guys can carry these, we will get the rest and then we can head down."
"Sure." Eric took another small bag from Sarah and turned to Billy. "Let's go!" They went and stood in the hall while the girls took one last look around the room.
Sarah closed the door behind them and smiled. "Now, let's get out of here!"
As they stepped off the elevator, Zack greeted them with a luggage carrier. "Hey guys, thought you might need some help with your bags."
"Gladly." Trini let him take one of her bags before unloading the rest of hers and Sarah's. "Let's go check out and turn in our keys."
The woman behind the desk smiled up at them. "You kids have a nice time here?"
"Yeah, it was awesome. I'm actually going to miss it though." Trini smiled as she signed her name on the sheet they were given. "Here's my key."
"Thank you Trini." She took the keys from Sarah and Trini before turning to Zack. "Now I need you to sign Zack."
He handed her his key and signed the paper. "As much as I really look forward to going back, I am gonna miss this place too."
"Well, you kids are welcome to come back any time! Just give us a call and we can find someplace for you to stay while visiting." She handed each of them a certificate. "This is for all the hard work you've done here."
Billy looked over Trini's shoulder. "That's great! Now you have something else to add to your trophy display."
"Billy, there is one for you too. You were a part of this as well as Jason." She handed him 2 certificates. "Please see that he gets this. And thank him for us. He is welcome to come back and visit as well."
Billy nodded and smiled. "Thank you. I will tell him." He turned to the others. "Ready?"
Eric smiled. "Let's go!"
Zack pushed the luggage carrier out to the curb as a cab pulled up. "I called us a cab guys. Its a van so there is enough room for all of us."
The cab driver got out and began to load their bags into the trunk. "I'm sorry kids but I was told that I was to carry the luggage. You will be getting a ride from someone else."
Billy looked at him in confusion. "Why?"
Eric grinned as a limo pulled up behind the cab. "Because that's why." He pointed to the man stepping out of the back. "This is my friend Mark."
Mark smiled. "Eric told me that you were gonna be leaving so I called the people here and they told me when you would be leaving. I then called the taxi cab place to make sure that if they were called, I would be there at the same time." He smiled to the cab driver. "Just go to the airports private gate. I told them you would be coming." He handed some money to the driver. "Keep the change."
"Yes sir. Thank you sir." The cab driver got back in and drove off.
"Now, how about that ride to the airport?" He motioned them in. "Sit where you want."
Once they were all in, they pulled out and headed to the airport. Trini marveled at the inside of the limo. "Is this a private limo? I didn't think they put all this stuff into one that they rent."
Mark laughed. "Yes, it is my own private limo. I let friends use it or any business acquaintance." He looked them all over. "So, you kids looking forward to heading home?"
"Yeah, we have been away for too long." Zack smiled. "But it was worth it."
"Yeah, it was a great experience that I would do all over again." Trini looked at Billy. "But its great to be going back home."
Mark smiled and looked at Sarah. "And you get to be back with Eric here huh?"
"Yeah." She smiled over at him. "I miss being home and I know my dog will be happy to see me."
Eric laughed. "She was happy to see me a few days ago when your mom had her out for a walk."
Mark laughed as they pulled up to a private gate. "Well, we are here. Just go through that gate and your bags will be there. Tell them you are with me and they will tell you which way to go." He waved as they got out and his driver pulled around to another entrance.
Eric watched them take a look around before heading inside. "You shouldn't have to worry about getting the luggage loaded. Mark has a crew that does it. He handpicked them and they go with him everywhere."
The teens nodded and headed for the desk. After getting their luggage checked in, they grabbed their carryon bags and followed the directions they were given. When they reached their gate, they saw Mark standing with a man in front of the doors.
Mark smiled. "This is my pilot. He is just heading out to get the plane started. We will be leaving earlier than expected. You ready?"
Eric nodded. "We're ready." The teens followed Mark and the pilot out to the plane.
8 hours later, Billy stepped off the plane and smiled. "Well, its definitely Cali!" He waited until they were all off the plane before turning to Mark. "Thanks for the ride home."
"Hey, it was nothing." He saw one of his assistants and smiled. "I have to get back to business. It was nice to meet you kids." He patted Eric's shoulder. "Tell your dad I will see him tomorrow."
"Ok. Thanks." Eric smiled as the man left. "Well, let's get our luggage." He led them to the terminal and to where the luggage would be. "I'll get my car." He gave Trini a hug before heading to the garage. "See you around."
Once they each had their bags, they looked at each other. Sarah gave Trini a hug. "I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too. But at least you will be close enough to visit!" Trini smiled as the rest of the teens laughed. "I'll call ya in a few days."
"Ok." Sarah saw Eric pull up in his car. "Well, I guess I'll talk to you later. Bye Zack and Billy."
"Bye." Billy grinned at Zack as they answered simultaneously.
Zack pointed as a car pulled up next to them. "Hey! There's my dad!" They laughed as Billy's dad pulled up behind Mr. Taylor.
Trini's dad hopped out of Hank's car and pulled her into a hug. "Hey, welcome home!"
Trini laughed as Zack was pulled into a hug from his dad. "Well, its good to be home."
Billy smiled up at his dad. "Well, who's riding with who?" He helped his dad put luggage into his car.
"Well, since it would be wrong to separate you guys, we are going to take one car and you will take another." Hank smiled as the others joined them. You guys take the Taylor's car and I will drop off your bags at your homes."
Zack smiled. "Ok. But where are we going to go?"
Robert Taylor smiled. "Well, Robert, you can go to Hanks house."
Billy laughed. "So, you noticed." As the others laughed, he ducked his dad's hand. "Hey, it was Trini's idea!"
"Well, you all look great. Just like your parents!" Lee Kwan smiled at Trini. "Your mom is going to love it." He clapped his hands together. "Now, you guys head on over to Billy's. Your moms will be there soon."
Zack took his dad's keys and hopped in. "See you guys there!" Once they were all in, he took off.
Hank laughed. "I hope we weren't like that when we were that age!"
Lee laughed. "I have a feeling we were!" He and his friends laughed. "Just wait until next Saturday. They will love the whole party."
Robert smiled as they headed off to drop off their kids' luggage. "Well, I have a plan that will really get them."
3 hours later, Zack waved as the Taylors and Kwans drove off. "Well, now we have to get our stuff ready for our disguises."
Hank laughed. "Well, I know that your friends will all be at the park tomorrow around noon. You could surprise them. Right now though, I have a surprise in the garage for Billy and Trini."
Billy looked at Trini and shrugged before following his dad out. He flipped on the light and froze. "Oh wow! That looks like my hover skid!"
Hank smiled. "It is. Ernie and I helped them make it into a motorcycle. They had one made to look like it for Trini." He uncovered a bike right next to Billy's.
Trini gasped and smiled. "Wow. It looks exactly like yours Billy! Only with the yellow and blue reversed."
"They are great bikes guys." Zack ran a hand over Billy's. "Man, these would be perfect to surprise the gang with."
Hank laughed. "That's what I thought. Your helmets even have built in microphones so you can talk to each other."
"Awesome!" Trini grinned at Billy. "We can get our biker outfits to wear tomorrow. They won't know its us!" She turned to Hank. "We got some wigs that have voice changers in them. When turned on, we won't sound like ourselves."
"That's great. Where did you guys find them?" Hank took a paper from Billy. "Wow, I'll have to check this place out this weekend." He smiled as they each yawned. "Come on, why don't you kids get some sleep."
Billy nodded and they headed in. Once they had the lights out, they all fell into a deep sleep.
Hank smiled as he looked in on the teens. "Time to get up!" He laughed as Zack quickly sat up. "Good morning to you too Zack!"
"Hey Mr. C." He rubbed his eyes and stretched as the other two woke up. "Man, I feel like I have been asleep for years!"
Billy smiled as he stood up. "Yeah, its the jet lag. We got extra sleep because we had a big time difference."
Trini sighed as she stretched. "Well, we better get breakfast, showered, and dressed if we are going to beat the others to the park."
"I have some French toast downstairs for you when you are ready." Hank smiled. "And Billy, you are supposed to call a Mr. Chan sometime this morning."
"Oh yeah!" He smiled at Trini. "Will do dad." When his father watched him, he smiled. "Don't worry. Its a surprise."
Hank nodded. "I will see you kids later." He closed the door and headed downstairs.
Billy looked at Zack. "Trini, can get her shower first, then you. I will call Mr. Chan while you guys are doing that." He saw Trini nod and head towards the bathroom with her stuff. He picked up his phone and called their instructor. By the time Zack had gotten out of the shower and dressed, he had set it all up with Master Chan and Ernie.
"So, what's the plan?" Trini looked up as Zack entered the room.
"We will go to Master Chan's in the afternoon and we will do our school work with Bulk and Skull in the mornings. On the weekends, we all will be helping Bulk and Skull with weights and other stuff." He paused to grab his things. "Dad said Ernie is going to have a party for us when we come back so that will be next weekend. This weekend, we will be focusing on getting caught up with Master Chan."
Trini nodded as he headed for the door. "We will meet you downstairs then." She and Zack headed downstairs while he headed for the bathroom.
Once they were fed and ready to go, they hopped onto their bikes. Zack hopped onto the bike with Billy. "Let's go man. I can't wait to see their faces!"
"Chill Zack. We will be early. But we can pretend we are from out of town and enjoying the park." He followed Trini out of his driveway and towards the park. Once there, they parked and hopped off. "This is the perfect place to park. They will definitely see the bikes. We can watch them from our table."
Zack smiled as they headed towards the usual table the gang used. "They will head right for the table and see us there."
"That's the whole idea Zack. BUT, we can also be doing something." She pointed to a stand nearby. "Why don't we leave these bags here and pretend to be looking around?"
"Excellent idea!" Billy set his bag down and followed them to the stands that were set up. "Hey, I think I see Tommy and Kim." He nodded to the white jeep that pulled up next to their bikes.
Zack laughed. "And he is totally checking out the bikes!" He grinned as the others joined the two. "Well, they are all here. Shall we head back?"
Trini nodded and they headed back to their bags. As they sat down, they noticed the gang watching them. "Thank god our voice changers are turned on. Let's go to Ernie's. That way we can talk and not have them hear us."
Billy nodded and got up. "By the way, we need names if we are going to be wearing these disguises. I'll go by Michael."
"I'll be Cleo." She looked at Zack. "Who you going to be?"
"Call me Darren" Zack smiled as they headed for their bikes. Then they realized that their friends blocked the only path. "Excuse us."
Kim stepped aside as they walked through. "Hey, are you guys new around here?"
Billy smiled and turned to her. "Yes and no. We are just visiting a friend of ours who recently moved nearby." He waited as she walked up to him.
"Well, we live here so if you need someone to show you around we can help." She held out her hand. "I'm Kim."
Billy smiled. "I'm Michael. This is Cleo and Darren."
Tommy nodded to them. "Where are you headed to?"
Trini/Cleo shrugged. "We were going to find some place to get a drink or at least a light snack." She turned to Billy/Michael. "Or do you want to find a place to just sit and relax?
"Well, I could really use some ice cream or smoothie right now." He turned to Zack/Darren. "What about you?"
"Sounds good to me!" He turned to the others. "Where can we get something like that?"
Jason grinned. "Ernie's is the best in this area. We can show you the way if you'd like! Where are you parked? I'm Jason by the way."
Billy/Michael smiled. "Nice to meet you. We are parked right ahead."
Trini followed him to their bikes and grabbed her helmet. "You lead the way and we will follow."
Kim gaped at the bikes. "Those are your bikes?"
Billy smiled. "Yeah. They were made especially for us. One of my friends painted it. Hers was painted to match mine, only in a different way."
Trini watched them look at each other. "I love the color yellow but he loves the color blue. So his friend painted them to match us." She saw them nod and get into their cars. "Lead the way!"
Once at the Juice bar, Ernie saw the teens head in. "Hey guys, who are your friends?"
Billy held out his hand. "I'm Michael. This is Darren and Cleo."
Ernie shook his hand and noticed something similar. Warily, he looked closer at the face. "Are you guys from around here? I'm Ernie."
"We are just visiting a friend. We are going to be here all week." Billy smiled and winked.
Ernie grinned at Billy's wink. "Well then, your first drink is on the house!" He turned to the others. "That goes for you guys too for bringing them here."
"You sure about that? I mean won't your boss be mad?" Billy grinned and winked.
"Ernie is the owner." Kat smiled as they sat down at their regular table. "What do you guys want to drink?"
Billy looked At Trini and Zack. "Strawberry smoothie?" When they nodded, he looked up at Ernie. "Can we get that?"
"Absolutely Michael." He turned other others. "The regulars?"
"Yeah." He laughed as they answered in unison.
The teens hung out for the rest of the day. As it was getting late, Zack stood up. "Well, we better be getting back before it gets too late."
"Thanks for coming with us. Like we said. If you need someone to show you around, let us know. You can always find us here after school. If not, then we are usually in the park." Jason smiled as they nodded and headed out. Once they were out of earshot, he turned towards the others. "I wonder where they are from."
"I don't know but I do know that Darren is kinda cute." Amanda smiled as they all rolled their eyes. "Hey, its not like I'm dating Zack or anything!"
"She's right guys! Let her alone!" Aisha stood up and headed for the door. "I gotta get going. See you guys later."
The rangers said their goodbyes and split up. Ernie watched with a smile. "Billy is really going to get it for not letting Kim in on that plan." He shook his head and began cleaning up.
Across town, 5 adults were having a conversation.
"I think we should do a few songs, then have these five come up and sing with us. After all, they each have lived somewhere outside of California." The man leaned back against the chair he was in. His sandy blonde hair was ruffled from where he kept running a hand through it.
"I agree." A tall man grinned as he leaned forward. "Who knows, Maybe they will even sing a few songs on their own."
A third man laughed. "Yeah, after all, they are all talented enough. And we know they can all sing. I say we do it." He held out his hand. "Deal?"
4 hands came down on top of his and five voices combined. "Deal." The five men stood up and headed their separate ways.
The next morning, Billy stood outside the building as a young girl ran out. "Liana?" He smiled when she paused.
"Who are you?" she took a step back and looked around. "I'm waiting for a friend."
Billy took off his wig. "It's me." He laughed as she gave him a hug. "We are wearing disguises so that our friends won't know we are back until our homecoming party."
She smiled up at him and looked over at his friend. "You must be Trini." She held out her hand.
"Hi. Billy's told me about you." She smiled at the girl as she shook her hand. "So, you help out around here?"
"Yeah. I'm supposed to tell you to go to my grandfather's office. Your stuff is in there." She led them inside. "I will go tell Uncle you are here."
"Thanks Liana." Billy watched her leave and pulled Trini down a hall. He stopped outside an office and frowned.
"What's the matter?" Trini saw his hand freeze before gripping the handle.
"I haven't been in here since before the tournament." He took a deep breath and opened the door.
Trini followed him in and smiled. "Wow, he must have really liked you." She walked over to the desk and picked up a picture of Billy and Liana. "This is a good picture."
"He loved his granddaughter. Liana loved Billy." Master Chan walked in and smiled at them. "I'm glad you made it."
Trini smiled and took the package he handed her. "What is this?"
"It is something I was going to give you before you moved." He motioned to a package on the desk. "Billy, that was going to be for you. He died before getting a chance to give it to you."
Billy picked up the package and unwrapped it. "Wow, this is beautiful!" He looked over as Trini held up an exact replica of the lance he held.
"When we were younger, we attended the same academy. Upon reaching a certain skill level, our master gave us each a sword. One gold, and one silver. He said that no fencer has ever scored that high on the skill test and you two did the same." He nodded to their lances. "We got together and had them melted down and made into two others. He bested me by one point but you two scored the same."
Trini smiled. "Thank you." She looked at the desk and saw two piles of clothes. "Are those our uniforms?"
"Yes they are. But Liana has something to add to them." He moved aside as the door opened. "Come in Liana."
"Hello uncle. I brought them." She handed him two pieces of material.
Thank you." He held them out to Billy and Trini. "We noticed that the two of you had a signature color. These are belts that signify your skill level and the high score you were given. Not very many people have one."
Billy took the black belt with the blue stripes on the end while Trini took the black with yellow stripes. "Thank you Liana. How did you get them with these colors?" He saw her smile.
"Grandpa always told me that you were drawn to the color for some reason. And I assumed the same for Trini. So, when Uncle ordered the belts, I told him to get one with blue and one with yellow." She laughed as Billy pulled her into a hug. "You are welcome."
Billy laughed as Master Chan cleared his throat. "We better get ready so we can get our stretching done."
She nodded and headed out the door, her uncle following. "See you later!"
After changing and stretching, they joined Master Chan in some basic maneuvers. Then he let them get into the practice. 3 hours later, he clapped his hands together. "Well done! You two haven't forgotten! You are a little rusty on some stuff but you knew what to do."
Billy smiled as he took his mask off. "Well, I guess its like riding a bike."
"That it is Billy." He walked them over to the door to the hall. "Go rest and I will see you tomorrow afternoon."
Billy smiled as they left the room. "So, what should we do now?"
"I don't know. I am feeling a little worn out. Maybe we should just go rest." She opened the door to the office. "Hey, there's a note on the desk."
Billy read the note and smiled. "This is from Liana. It says that her uncle has his own office so this one is mine. The place was left to her and her dad and they said I can use it as my own office if I want to teach classes."
"Do you want to?" Trini finished changing and walked over.
"I don't know yet." He finished changing and smiled. "I just might, if I have the time."
They headed outside after putting their gear in the closet of the office. Liana joined them at the main door. "Billy, think about that note. Daddy and I would really like it if you joined the staff. We can work out any arrangement."
"I will think about it and let you know by the end of the week." He looked at Trini. "I have to discuss a few things with someone else."
"Ok with me Billy." She turned to Trini. "Uncle has asked me to ask you the same thing. If you are interested, you can teach as well. He will make sure you get all the certifications needed."
Trini nodded. "I'll think about it." She looked at her watch. "We have to get going. We'll see you tomorrow Liana."
"Bye!" The girl waved as they rode off on their bikes before heading back in.
Once at the Cranston's, they sat down on the couch. 2 hours later, they woke up and joined Zack and Hank in the kitchen for dinner. "Hey, you two have a nice day?"
Billy glared at Zack. "It was great. Just a tad tiring though."
Hank laughed. "It looks like it." He poured some soup into bowls for them. "Eat up. There is some salad in the bowl."
Trini got some salad and dug in. "This is good Hank. What did you put in it?"
Hank laughed. "That's for us to know and you to find out!" He winked at Billy and dug into his own food. "So, what time are you guys going to be home tomorrow?"
Billy shrugged. "Well, we will be with Zack and Bulk and Skull in the morning. Then we will be somewhere else in the afternoon. I guess we will probably be at the command center if there is an attack."
Trini gasped. "Oh my gosh! I forgot about that!" She looked at Billy. "I had a weird dream last night that I wanted to talk to Zordon about."
Billy nodded. "We can talk to him when we are done."
Zack finished off his soup and put his dishes in the dishwasher. "Well, I don't know about you guys but I am itching to go see Alpha and Zordon."
Billy grinned as his dad finished his supper. "Dad, would you be able to take over the juice bar for a week if needed?"
Hank looked at him in confusion. "Why?"
"Because if Trini's dream means what I think it means, we may have to go to Phaedos for a whole week. But if we are going to be gone all week, we will need Ernie there because of school work." He grinned as he finished his food. "Actually, I think Ernie's one friend would watch it too."
Hank nodded. "I will talk to Ernie while you go talk to Zordon." He got up and picked up the phone. "I'll let you know."
Billy nodded and they teleported out. When they arrived in the chamber, they saw Alpha just standing there. "Alpha?"
"Billy!" Alpha turned and walked over to them. "What are you doing here?"
"I had a dream last night and I need to know what you think of it." Trini stepped towards Zordon's tube. An hour later, they left the Command Center and teleported back to Billy's.
"What did he say?" Hank looked up from the news and saw their faces. "Bad news?"
AN: Well, as usual, I hope you all liked it! I will be having some more surprises coming before they reveal themselves to the others.
