(Series 4-5)
It had been a long war it seemed. Ram was out of the way and perhaps that meant some of the prisoners were to be set free. The Mallrats were hopeful. However, only one returned. He had been battered and broken, his clothes were ripped, his face was cover minor bruises, and his body more lanky than before.
Ryan used to seem to have this look of power to him. That he was not someone to mess with but when he returned he looked to half of that man. He had come back during the celebration no less. When he walked in, the first he saw was Salene… in a dance with Pride. His angel was right in front of his face dancing with another man, and that looked to be more than her friend.
"Salene?"
"Ryan…" she said slowly.
This looked to be a promising match at first until…. Lex decided to open his big fat mouth, "Why don't you come closer and say it to my face! You stupid Techno," Lex shouted.
Ryan titled his head towards the side of room where this guy with blonde hair and Lex were arguing over something, "Say what, that your plan is ill conceived and crazy, I will," Jay threw back.
"Hey guys knock it off, it's Ryan," May said to the group loudly…. Everyone stopped and turned around.
"Ryan!" Amber said happily moving over to hug him.
"Amber? You're alive?" he replied shock.
Was this was twilight zone, was he dead and he just didn't know it? What- Why she there? What had happened…. Ryan had never officially gotten the chance to find out the fate of Amber.
Ryan then noticed a little girl come up to him- and his eyes shot to Trudy- was that Brady? Wow did she look older.
"Hi…" Brady said in a shy voice.
"Is that Brady?" he said.
Trudy nodded, "Yea…"
"Where is my baby?" Ryan said carefully.
Salene felt her eyes grow…. And she ran off without another word.
"Salene," Pride shouted looking between him and Salene and back again.
Pride then went racing after Salene- the rest of the group grew quiet.
"Ryan… maybe we should talk…"

(Hours later)
Ryan was sitting under the moonlight on the verge on tears. He was not a crying man, not at all but his heart well it had been just smashed into a thousand pieces.
He had been left by Salene for some guy named Pride that was once married to Amber. Their baby had died, and the world was falling apart. The Mallrats had dealt with some new enemy called the techno's- friends were missing, and there were new members of the tribe. Things could not get anymore strange than this.
Then a voice came from behind, "No holding back. Cry if you need to. Don't worry about being seen as weaker- you're entire world has fallen apart," the voice of Trudy replied moving to sit down next to him.
Ryan did nothing at first- just sat there but when he finally turned to her a small tear was in his eyes, "She left me, my baby is gone, and all these people are missing. How is this fair Trudy, what did I come back for?" he asked her.
"It's not your fault, you didn't know. There was nothing you could have done for the baby, and Salene needed to move on. So do you, you still have the rest of us, you're friends- even Lex…. You can rebuild you're life. You didn't come back for nothing," Trudy said to him.
"Then why does it feel like I have?" he said.
"Because you're in pain but it'll be okay Ryan, it will," she promised him.
Ryan turned to her, "I hope you're right," he said still not believing her.
"It will- you'll see," Trudy said standing up, "I'll leave you alone… but Ryan know this…" she said slowly….
"Yea…?" he asked looking at her.
"You ever need anyone, I'll be right here- I promise. After all, I've lost a lot too," she said going over to him- without another word- she took a deep breath and kissed him on the lips, "Consider that an offer when you're ready".
Ryan turned to her shocked as turned away and got up- god this place had changed… really changed….
