Summary: Aurora is in college, spending only her weekends and vacations in Crystal Springs. After since Andros' reunion with his children, Blaecleah kept quiet, but peace never lasts for long.

Phantom Rogue: Nope, stalling is fun! Why Andros and Ashley even bother? To make it look like they're actually trying to raise their kids instead of letting them raise themselves.

Jenny: YOU KILLED ME! To make it up to me, you need to write TWO failed attempts of subconscious to kill Rosa's Demon, or something bad will happen to you.

DizneeDol: Glad you liked it. This soon enough?

Arwennicole: It's okay for the late reviews and typing error, I know of them too. :P

Melissa: You're going to reread it? Wow! You're great! Yes, the killing threat was a good one, but I believe I've heard it many times before. :P

It Was Just The Beginning

Chapter 23

Everyone in the living room watched Gwyn intently. They really wanted to know how the future looked like, even if it had been changed.

"Okay, so I met Kirl in school when I was eight. He was the first full blood alien in our class and since I was the only other with alien blood, we instantly got along and soon became friends. Kirl's half Karovan too - from his mom's side, his father was Eltaran. He was four when his father died and he moved to KO-35, four years later he and his mother moved to Earth because Blaecleah was getting more and more power and Earth had an active ranger team." Gwyn sighed. "He's the second eldest of our team and controls the element of air, our spare ranger."

"What about the others?" Chaitlin asked.

"Before I can tell about them, I'll need to explain this new sucking school system the government thought of. All kids from the age of 10 have to go to this kind of boarding school until they go to college. They live in these small bungalows with, at the most, five others. One of those schools is going to be build just outside of Crystal Springs, kids from as far as Angel Grove get sent there."

"Cool!" Dakota commented. "No parents breathing down your neck!"

Gwyn giggled.

"It's fun… but I'm glad it's close to home so I can drop by whenever I want."

"I second that." Andros muttered, looking down at the sleeping baby in his arms.

He didn't even want to thing of sending Ciana to a boarding school.

"Anyway, it's there we met the other team members, at least, the first three. Kirl and I were relieved to find out we were assigned to the same bungalow and with that bit of reassurance we set off. We found we were sharing with two kids our age, Jayane and Jarreth, a twin, they ended up being our classmates too, and Hean, he's a year older than Kirl. At first Hean scared us a little, he had this strange aura around him and we stayed out of his way as much as possible, so he ended up having one of the three bedrooms all for himself. The twin didn't want to be separated, so Kirl and I shared a room too. It wasn't long before we figured out we all had one thing in common, we could all control an 'element'. Hean could control fire, Jarreth could control the ground and Jayane could control the plants. Hean opened up a little and we all became friends. Hean turned out to be of half-alien half-human blood too and lived on Dragoria with his family until he was 9. His human mother became homesick, so they moved to Earth. Jarreth and Jayane are the only two full blood Earth humans on our team."

"What about the last ranger?" Kayla asked.

"Viathe." Gwyn answered with a smile. "A new year brought new kids and new kids meant we needed to share our bungalow with someone new. It also meant Hean was going to have to share a room with Kirl or Jarreth. He ended up deciding Kirl would be the least annoying, so I ended up sharing a room with Viathe. The others thought it was funny, the two youngest sharing a room. The stupidest thing we ever did was keep our powers from her."

"Why?" Aurora asked curiously.

Gwyn sniggered.

"Because she had them too. She found out when we were planning to go on a camping trip one weekend and dark clouds hang in the sky that morning. Hean asked me if I could banish them, but it weren't thunderclouds, so I couldn't. Viathe asked what I was doing, so I reluctantly told her and, to our surprise, she did it for us. You can imagine our shock."

"Fun!" Ray exclaimed. "So, do you use your powers for rangering only?"

"We should, yeah, but…" Gwyn replied, a small blush appearing on her cheeks.

"I knew it!" Ray laughed.

"Who corrupted you?" Andros demanded, though unable to keep a grin off his face.

"Ray and Aurora did." Gwyn answered, also smiling. "They also taught me how to fight, at first behind your backs. When you found out, we kept whining until you finally give them permission to continue."

"Sounds like them alright." Ashley laughed. "They can be very annoying if they don't get their way. Just like their father."

Andros just smiled and wrapped an arm around her shoulder. Baby Ciana shifted a little at the change of grip, but kept on sleeping.

"Hey, Gwyn?" Aurora suddenly asked.

"Yeah?"

"You said only that twin were of full Earth human blood and you told us about all your teammates' heritages, but you didn't tell us Viathe's."

"Oops; Viathe is Aquitian, but she's got a human grandfather."

"Billy." Andros and Ashley said at the same time.

Gwyn nodded and smiled. Maybe, this would go right after all. Just then a beeping noise came from the hallway and she immediately recognized it. She paled a little, hoping it was someone who would understand why she did it…
