Exploring the Command Center
In the months that followed the defeating of Lord Zedd and Mesogogg, the rangers lives returned to normal. Well, as normal as a ranger life could really be. The rangers had to debate when it would be the right time to do some things and for months, it seemed as if no time was right, until the summer finally came. They all seemed to not be as busy and it allowed them to begin the long and painful process that they had to go through in order to have a real chance at a normal life.
They still had their powers, except for Trini, but it was only a matter of time before they gave those up as well. They just wanted to make sure nothing showed up in the next few weeks, then they were going to hand over the powers and go into retirement, for the final time, at least they hoped it would be the final time. They knew that their chances to serve again were slim to none, but it might happen. They had had those same thoughts every time that they had retired in the past.
Jason and Trini were now happily expecting the birth of their first child, without a care in the world, at least compared to what had been on their shoulders earlier that year. They had no thought that this would have been possible a few months before, but their lives seemed to be as normal as they could be, except for the fact that they had been rangers for years and even that was not that bad. It was actually one of the most normal things that they could say they had done, compared to some of the missions they had been on.
One particular Saturday, they all embarked upon a different sort of mission, a mission that would take them down memory lane to a place that they had not dared to enter in a very long time. They just hoped that they were ready for what they might find and for what they had all tried to forget, as their time as rangers had ended for the first time years before. They rarely went back to that place, but now they had to, for themselves and no one else.
"Oh, look at Mommy's big girl," Kim cooed, as Angie wriggled in her bassinet and reached up towards Kim, so that she would hopefully pick her up and she did after a few seconds of smiling down at her. "Now, we are going to go take a bath and then go to Angel Grove to see all of Mommy and Daddy's friends. How do you like that?"
It still seemed almost too good to be true, but right now, she was just happy about everything in her life. She had a home and a family with Tommy and she didn't know what else could make her life more complete right now. She finally felt as if she was truly able to live again, as she had before she had become a ranger back in high school. The problem was, she had all the memories of being a ranger that kept her from being completely normal, and she knew she'd carry most of it with her to the grave. It was just a lot of responsibility for someone who had so many more years to live and she was not exactly sure how to face it.
"I don't know if I like it," Tommy said, as he walked out of the bathroom with a towel wrapped around his waist and saw Kim was holding Angie up above her head and he watched her giggle with a smile spreading on his own face.
The two of them had no idea what they did to him every time that he saw them acting like that and they probably would never know that they made him the happiest man on Earth right now. He had never imagined his life turning out so well and with such a good family, but it had happened to him, somehow. Not even Lord Zedd and Mesogogg had been able to destroy what was meant to happen in his life and they had tried to do that. They had honestly tried to do that to him just a few months ago and he knew that if they had managed it, he would have been a wreck right now. There was just something there that had made it all worth their while and they knew what it was like to live a life with worries, now they could worry about other things. They didn't have the responsibility to save the Earth anymore.
"It doesn't matter if you do, we are going to go to Angel Grove. We agreed that we would go to Angel Grove today, Tommy. You know that, honey," Kim said with a big smile, as she gave Tommy a kiss on the cheek and he, in turn, kissed Angie on the forehead while Kim watched him. She really was lucky, even if everyone told her that he had always been hers. There had always been the chance that he would have fallen for someone else and that they would have never been back together. That was what she called luck, him not finding anyone, and after the years that they had spent apart from each other the two of them being able to get back together. She had never thought in her wildest dreams that day would have come, but it did. "It should take me no more than thirty minutes to give her a bath, Tommy. I'm not going to let her play with the water too much today, you know how much she likes it, but we have things that we have to do. I know you want to go ahead and get down there before the traffic gets too bad. I bet there are going to be quite a few people going to the beach today."
"It's fine, we're in no hurry today and we may even join the beach crowd, if we have the chance," Tommy said, as he sat down on their bed for a second before he stood up to walk to the nursery and get Angie something to wear for the day. After he had chosen a little one-sy, he walked back into their bedroom and picked up some photo albums that Kim had taken out the night before and casually flipped through them.
They were going back to their first Command Center today, to pick through all of the things that were around there and to think back on their time as rangers. They knew, deep down, that the last battle they had been in would probably be their last time ever to be rangers and it saddened them, more than they ever thought it would. When they were young, they had thought it wouldn't affect them this way. That was before they had retired and come back, however many times it was now. Not being a ranger changed their lives in more ways than they could imagine.
Conner, Kira, Trent, Ethan, Ashley, and Charlie were taking the change fairly well. They knew everything about how they had been brought in and exactly why it had been necessary, but it was hard to explain to them why the older rangers didn't know their reason. They had never had the chance to ask and it hurt them, in many ways. They, the older rangers, had so much to put behind them and there was so much that they still needed to know about their past, but there was no guarantee that they would find out any of it. There were so many questions that were still left unanswered and they could only hope Zordon had left them the answers in the Command Center, somewhere.
They were going today in search of the answers and in the hopes of being able to spend some peaceful time in the Command Center, before other people finally entered their safe haven. People were getting closer and closer to entry every day and if they didn't go get what was theirs, their identity would soon be known to the world. Thank goodness, Billy knew the warning signs of the Command Center's security becoming weaker. Otherwise, they might have found out on the evening news that they were the Power Rangers. That would be a fun thing to try to make go away and they knew they wouldn't be able to do it. They could just imagine the reporters knocking at their doors; maybe they would have to go to Aquitar in order to get out from under the spotlight. They could just imagine the type of headline that would make for the papers, but they planned to never have to see that happen.
"Whatcha looking at?" Kim asked, as she carried Angie out of the bathroom, with a tan towel wrapped around her as she blew a raspberry on her stomach, which made Angie smile a toothless smile and even let out a laugh. Tommy continued to stare over at her as she walked over and she was not sure if he was feeling well. She had not seen that look on his face in quite awhile and she had honestly forgotten what it meant he was thinking. "Tommy, you okay?"
"Yeah, I'm just thinking about some things Kim. You are so pretty right now," Tommy said, as he reached down and gave her a kiss before Angie slapped him on the face with her tiny hand and he was forced to break away and he couldn't help but give her a slightly reproachful glare. He really had wanted to kiss her for a little bit longer, but Angie didn't seem to like the idea of that happening.
"I'm glad that you think so, Tommy," Kim said, with a slight laugh, as she had taken a look in the mirror this morning and had not exactly loved what she had seen.
She had lost, basically, all of the weight she had gained from when she was pregnant Angie, but she hadn't fixed herself up or done anything to her hair since then. Her hair was in a ponytail all the time and she was lucky to be able to put on mascara before she did anything for the day, as she usually got up only a couple of minutes before Angie woke up in the morning. They had been pulling a lot of late nights with extra command center work that was needed before they could begin to shut it down properly. She was busy being a mom and she had been teaching school up until a week ago. She didn't really have time for herself anymore, but Tommy could care less about how she looked. He was just happy to have her there with him.
"I'm not joking, Kim," Tommy said, as he gave her another long look before giving her another kiss and this time Angie didn't hit him in the face. She just snuggled closer to Kim's shoulder and looked up at the two of them. "I mean it. You are the prettiest woman I've ever seen."
"And you are a wonderful man Tommy," Kim said, as she looked up at him and then looked over at Angie who had her hands around a few pieces of her hair and was pulling Kim's face towards her. It seemed she wanted a little bit of attention. "And you, are my baby."
"Our baby," Tommy said, gently, as Kim looked up at him with a smile and then walked over to the bed to change Angie into a diaper and some clothes. She was not surprised to see Tommy's choice of clothing on the bed and was glad that he had picked something easy to put her in. She wriggled way too much when they were trying to put her in clothes and over the last few months they had found out what clothes were the easiest to put her in quickly.
"Can you go get me a blanket and the diaper bag? I think we'll be ready to go once we have those," Kim said, as she put Angie's pale yellow one-sy on and buttoned the snaps on the legs with only a little bit of trouble.
"Here you go," Tommy said, as he walked back into their room with the blanket and the diaper bag in tow. "Do you have some food for today?"
"I'm going to grab it on our way out," Kim said, as she picked Angie up off the bed and let Tommy throw the blanket of both of their heads with a smile crossing her face. "Tommy…"
"Can I at least carry her out to the car?" Tommy asked, as Kim grinned up at him as he took the pink and white checkered blanket off of her head.
"Yes, you can," Kim said, as she let go of Angie and then went to grab the diaper bag and held the blanket in her hands. She stopped at the refrigerator on the way out the door and grabbed the bottles of milk they had stored in there sure that they were going to need all of them before the day was over.
"You ready for this?" Tommy asked, as he sat down in the driver's seat and Kim placed the blanket over Angie in her car seat. He figured that today was going to be an emotional day for all of them and he was not sure how well she was going to react to all of it.
"Yeah, it's not going to be that bad and you'll be there if something gets to me," Kim said with a wink as she grabbed his hand and he looked over at her, wondering if there was anything else she wanted to say to him. It just seemed that with everything ending, they always had one more thing to say to each other before they were done talking. "I love you, Tommy."
"I love you, too," Tommy said, as he backed the car out of its normal place and then turned it towards Angel Grove. It was going to be a long ride for the two of them, but it was something that needed to be done before it was too late. They really didn't want Angie to remember any of it, as they planned to keep it a secret, unless she ever bluntly asked about it. That was something that they doubted would ever happen, unless she stumbled upon the command center downstairs and they were going to lock that up over the summer as well.
Command Center (Angel Grove)
"Hey, how's it been?" Kim asked, as she walked in the Command Center and saw that most of the others were already there.
She walked over and gave Trini a hug and then looked down at her rounding belly and smiled even broader than before. It was hard to believe that Trini was really pregnant, but she couldn't have been happier for Jason and Trini being able to start a family. It had taken them long enough to figure out that they loved each other and many of them had hoped it wouldn't take them that long to figure out that they wanted kids as well.
"It's been fine," Trini said, as Jason walked up behind her and placed his arms around her. He was so happy to know that they were going to have a child and he had spent every moment with Trini that he could. He had stopped his overtime completely, as he knew he had to get his priorities straight now. Tommy had told him that much a couple of days after they had gotten back and he had taken his advice to heart. He did not want to feel as if he had missed out on any part of this child's life and he was sure he would catch hell if he did do that. The other rangers weren't exactly forgiving when it came to how a child should be treated by their parents. They had been through enough to know how precious life was. "Someone, won't let me out of his sights, though."
"I wonder why Trini," Kim said with another smile before she turned around to see Tommy placing the car seat on the floor and then squatting down to take Angie out of it. "You need some help?"
"I got it," Tommy said as he picked her up out of the car seat and settled her against his chest.
Angie was content to stay there all day, as Tommy was around less than Kim was because of his work at the dojo, but Tommy enjoyed having a child much more than most would believe. His little girl wouldn't stay little for long and as much as he didn't want to admit it, he knew his parents had been right when they had talked to him soon after Angie was born. Kids grew up too fast and he didn't want to lose his chance, Kim understood and she felt the same. Angie would grow up and while she was little they had to do the right things, they knew that you only get one chance to raise your children.
"He's a great dad," Trini said, as Kim watched him walk around with Angie, while talking to the other rangers that had assembled there today. "He really is, Kim."
"He has his moments," Kim said, as she still watched him and Jason and Trini exchanged a glance, knowing that they had better just leave the subject alone. It was obvious Kim wanted to be alone with whatever thoughts she was having and they thought it best to leave it that way.
"Where's Adam?" Tommy asked, as he looked around and saw that he was the only one missing out of the rangers that had been expected to come today.
Some of the rangers were no longer on this planet and for those, they planned to send their archives to them before they closed down the command center in Reefside. They were also going to take Tanya her ranger stuff, as she had not been able to secure a day off from the hospital. They didn't want any of her news to get out either; none of them needed that type of career blow now, just when they had really been able to settle into their career choices.
"He had a big night last night. I'm sure he'll be here in a few minutes," Rocky said, as they all gave him a curious glance and waited for him to explain what he was saying to them. He was not making any sense to them right now, as Adam had not told many what he was planning to do. Rocky now knew he shouldn't have opened his mouth because Adam was not going to appreciate them knowing about it, if things didn't go well. "He proposed to Kat last night, I'm sure he forgot to set his alarm clock or something like that. I know that is what I would forget after a night like that."
"Wow," Aisha said, as she had not heard from Adam what his plans were with Kat. That now left only three couples that were not either engaged or married and she was not betting that Zack would propose before Rocky or Billy. He just seemed to be taking his time with moving things along and she was about to move on along to someone else. She just couldn't wait forever on him. She wanted to get married sometime this century and it might not be to him at this rate. "Lucky them."
"Why don't we go on down to the storage room? Adam should be able to find us when he arrives. He knows what we were planning to do today," Billy said, logically, as he headed towards that room and the others followed behind him. He, personally, did not want to spend a lot of time here, as they could be discovered at any moment. The Command Center's security was not what it used to be, but they had to take their chances, in order to protect themselves. He knew that it was still refusing those that had not been rangers entry, but they no longer had to have a power coin to get in. He had been able to walk in without any powers a year ago. That was when he noticed the deterioration and he watched it more carefully since then. Now seemed to be the best time, they had just finished a mission and their life was being changed. Why not clean out the only thing that linked them to being rangers? "It's not very organized, but we should be able to find and take any of the things that would identify us as rangers."
"Okay," Zack said, as he looked at the giant room and wondered where in the world they would start looking for the items that might reveal their identity.
That was the true reason that they were searching through all of the materials today, but they all knew that in some ways it had more to do with them knowing that they had truly left ranger responsibilities behind. They just wanted to get some things that they could remember their time as rangers by and this was the only place that they could find those things.
"Oh my goodness," Kim said, as she reached down into a pile of stuff and notice a picture of her and Tommy that Alpha must have taken while they weren't looking.
They were so young back then and it was obvious that they had been in love. She felt tears forming in her eyes and she suddenly kneeled down so that she could try to recompose herself without Tommy seeing her. She really hadn't thought that things would get to her this bad and she didn't want to draw anymore attention to herself.
"Hey, what did you find?" Aisha asked as she walked over and saw Kim holding an old picture in her hands, with her eyes squeezed shut, in an attempt to not cry. She did not want to start crying so soon today. "Oh, Kim. Hey, don't be sad, you have him now, don't you?"
"I know, it's just hard to believe everything we've been through," Kim said with a smile as Tommy looked over at her and shook his head. He had known it would only be a matter of time before she started crying about something that she saw in this place. It held far too many memories of things that had happened in the past to the both of them.
"Hey, the uniforms are over here!" Rocky yelled, as he came upon a pile of helmets and suits. The array of colors made him feel comfortable, but he knew that those suits were just that, suits, as long as they did not have a power coin to go with it. They could put them on and go fight, but they were normal humans under them now. It wouldn't take very long for someone to figure it out and they weren't going to take that chance.
"Wow, they don't look like they've changed any," Jason commented, as he picked up the red uniform and helmet, before realizing that this was not the one he had worn. It must have been Rocky's. "Rocky, this one's yours."
"No, it's Tommy's," Rocky said, as he picked up his red suit and showed it to Jason while Tommy looked over at the red suit with a tiny bit of disdain. He had never been particularly fond of that suit. Too many bad things had happened to him in it and he didn't want to have to remember the bad things that had happened.
"I don't want it," Tommy muttered, as Kim walked up beside him and they all looked at him, wondering why he would choose to leave this suit behind. He had always seemed to be fine in whatever color he landed in next. He, however, seemed to hold something against the red ranger suit and they didn't ask him why he did that. They were not sure that they wanted to know the answer to that. "Andros can have it."
"Tommy, you can take it, if you want to," Kim said, as he looked over at her and shook his head. He was not going to bring his red ranger suit into their home. There was absolutely no way that he could live with it being under his roof and many of them wouldn't understand that, Kim would, but he just couldn't explain it now.
"I really don't, I'm satisfied to have my white ones and my black one," Tommy said with a smile, as he reached down and picked up the pink ranger suit with one hand, while holding Angie tightly against him. He really wanted to get off the subject of him taking the red ranger suit. They knew that he had been the leader, he didn't need a red ranger suit to prove it, and he was sure that some of the others from that time understood it and Kim probably understood it better than anyone else did. "I think this one is yours, not Kat's."
"I don't even think I could still fit in this suit," Kim said, taking it out of Tommy's hands and holding it out in front of her. He just shook his head in disbelief at how she could still worry about how small she was, he knew that some of the others would get tired of it, but they were not saying anything about it right away. She had only mentioned it once and that was really the only time that she needed to mention it. "Where's the Ninja suits?"
"We'll find them, I'm sure they're around here, somewhere," Jason said, as he was now carrying his and Trini's suits and helmets in his arms. Trini hadn't been herself lately and he wanted to be certain that nothing was going on that would make her feel bad. "Trini, you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine," Trini said, as Kim gave her a critical look and noticed she was gazing over at something in the corner of the room, but she saw nothing when she followed her gaze. "I just never thought that this place wouldn't be used for ranger work anymore. It's hard to believe that it has come to this. That we're having to take our things out in order to protect ourselves."
"Well, who is to say that it won't be used for ranger work in the future? It's just that we have to protect ourselves right now, like you said, in case someone is able to get in here, without being a ranger. We don't want our identities to be revealed after all of these years of keeping it a secret," Billy said, as Adam walked down into the storage room. Things had gone well last night, surprising well.
"Look who just walked in… now why didn't you tell us about your big plans?" Aisha asked, as she backed Adam into a corner and Kat walked out from behind him, a little bit surprised at Aisha's actions.
She had seen Kim or Trini be this aggressive towards all of the male members of the ranger teams, but she had never seen Aisha act like that before in her life. She should have known it was coming though, all of the rangers had it in them to be like that at times. It just seemed to be in their nature that they could be pushy, but it didn't show most of the time, otherwise they would be fighting each other every minute of the day.
"Because I wanted them to be kept a secret," Adam said, as Aisha glared at him and then gave him a big hug. "Ish, are you mad or happy? You're kinda confusing me."
"You tell me what her answer was and I'll tell you if I'm mad or if I'm happy," Aisha said, as she had not noticed Kat, while many of the others had seen her walk in behind Adam. Kat was now struggling to not laugh at Aisha, but she didn't know if it was wise to start laughing, yet.
"Why don't you ask her?" Adam asked, as Aisha looked at him and then spun around to see if she could find Kat in the room with them and she spotted her standing on the opposite wall.
"What did you say?" Aisha asked, walking up to Kat, who simply looked down at Aisha and smiled. She was not going to say anything right away, she was enjoying the look on Aisha's face too much. "Oh, come on, stop the suspense. I need to know these types of things."
"I said yes," Kat said, as Aisha gave her a hug and then went and tackled Adam again, who merely laughed at his best friend's actions.
"Tommy," Kim muttered, as she had continued to look through the room, listening into what they had to say. She knew Aisha well enough to guess her actions and she knew they only had a limited amount of time up here. They were heading to Billy's after this, to drop off their things. Then they were going to look around Angel Grove, they had been told that it had changed a lot. They just needed to see it to believe it. "Tommy!"
"What is it?" Tommy asked walking up behind her and seeing that she was staring at an old trunk. It wouldn't have been odd, in other storage houses, but it seemed out of place and even more so, it had his name on it. That just really made him nervous as he had no clue what might be in it or what it might mean. "I'll open it, take her."
"You probably shouldn't do that. There's no telling what is in there, Tommy," Kim said, as she was wary of anything that had a person's name on it, as it usually led them to unpleasant findings.
"Kim, it's in the Command Center, I don't think it will be anything too bad," Tommy said, as he lifted the lid, but was suddenly blinded by the light spilling out of it. After a few seconds the light subsided and he looked down into the box, which seemed to hold a biography of his life. There were things from his childhood; things from before he moved to Angel Grove, and things that he didn't want to relive, all brought back to memory by the items in the box. Where had this come from and what did it mean for him?
"What is it?" Kim asked, as she walked up beside him and he started pulling out some of the items and he eventually emptied the box, except for a smaller box inside that he could not move, no matter how hard he tried to do so.
"Hey, give me a hand with this," Tommy said, as she kneeled down beside the box and laid Angie down on the floor next to her. She reached down and touched the box, but it was hot to her touch and she jerked her hand away. She could feel a small burn coming up on her fingertips and began gently blowing on it as Tommy looked at her hand. "You okay?"
"It's hot," Kim said, as he looked at her and then reached her hand in there with his own on top of it. He had the idea that this might work. "Tommy, please, it'll burn me."
"Do you trust me?" Tommy asked, as he saw Angie scooting away towards the picture of the two of them he had taken out of the box. He really didn't want her scooting around too much in this place, but there were some things that had to be attended to quickly.
"Yeah," Kim said, as she looked at him, wondering why it would matter if she trusted him right now. She didn't plan on reaching back in that box again. "Tommy, what are you thinking?"
"It's got both of our names on it, trust me. I know that this will work," Tommy said, as he gently placed her hand on the box with his on top of it and then lifted the lid with his other hand.
"You finally found it, didn't you?" Zordon's voice boomed, as Kim stared at the box and then looked over at Tommy. This was not what they had expected to find inside of the box. Actually, they didn't know what to expect, but Zordon's voice was definitely not it. "Take it, it's yours."
"You do it," Kim said, as she sat back on her heels and Tommy tried to get whatever was in the box, but it didn't work. He couldn't get it alone.
"It won't let just me take it. Just put your hand in the box," Tommy said, as Kim sat back up and reached into the box, but felt nothing. Tommy, however, had his hand on something and was intent on getting it out of the box. He pulled and it came out of the box. "What the hell?"
"Tommy, what is it?" Kim asked, as she leaned over and picked Angie up, who was holding onto a pair of Tommy's gloves that they had not been able to find when they were looking for his uniform two Christmas' ago. It seemed like Zordon had had some sort of plan for them after all.
"It's half of a coin. Funny, it looks like one of yours," Tommy said, as Kim looked around the room and saw that many of the rangers were stooped around similar boxes, getting things out of them that they needed and wondering why they were there in the first place. "Hey you'd probably be better off finding the pair of them, if your wife was a ranger too."
"I know," Jason said, as he was digging through his own and had come to a similar box. What did Zordon have in there for them?
"It won't let me open mine," Zack said, as he had tried and it seemed to him as if this was a sign that things were not going right in his life.
"Me neither," Aisha muttered, as she looked down at it and then sighed. There was no use, if Zordon had a purpose about this, then they wouldn't be able to break into the boxes, no matter how hard they tried.
"Kim, you okay?" Tommy asked, as she was shaking her head, as she walked up on her box and she didn't want to go through it. She didn't want to be forced to face the facts of what she had done. It had hurt more people than herself and even if she said she was over it, it still rattled her to think about it too much. "Hey, you have to go through it. We need to find whatever it is that is in your box."
"Tommy, I don't want to deal with it. I don't know if I can again," Kim said, as he reached towards the box and tried to open the lid and to his surprise, it let him, but what he saw inside was not as bad as Kim expected.
"Hey, I didn't know that you used to dance," Tommy said, as he picked up a pair of tiny ballet slippers and Kim looked over at him and gave him a smile. She had never really talked about dancing as a kid; she had had to quit when her gymnastics training became harder. She had liked it, but she loved gymnastics, that was what made the choice easier for her. "I don't see anything to remind you of the letter and if you find it, we'll just push it to the side. It is over now. It is just part of our past."
"Okay," Kim said shakily as she reached into the box and continued to pull her possessions out until she came to a similar box and she reached for Tommy's hand to help her open it.
"Well done, Kimberly. I am certainly glad to know you and Tommy are back together," Zordon's voice boomed as Kim continued to stare in shock, she then reached into the box, while Tommy left his hand there and pulled out the other half of the coin, but it was his, not hers.
"This has to be a mistake," Kim said, as she looked down at the coin that had come out of her box, but Tommy then held up his coin and placed the edges even with hers and to their surprise it began to bond. "I don't feel so good."
"Neither do I," Tommy said, as he had to wonder what in the world this coin was going to mean to them in the years to come and he was hoping Zordon's voice would boom out again and it soon did.
"Rangers, your powers shall never fully leave you and as you have this coin, it shall connect you, if there is ever a need. Be careful and let the power protect you," Zordon's voice boomed as a ray of light shot up and Kim jumped away from the light, as it was taking up a great deal of space between her and Tommy. The coin dropped in between them and they stared down at them, then a sudden spurt of energy shot from the coin and knocked both of them into the wall and Tommy held Angie a little bit tighter to him. He was glad that Kim was not holding her, as it had almost made him let go of her.
"Oh," Kim moaned, as Tommy placed his arm around her and gently massaged the back of her neck, which he was sure had gotten hurt again while they were thrown up against the wall. This was something Zordon should have warned them about, but he didn't know the circumstances that were surrounding them now. "Where's Angie?"
"I have her, don't worry. She's fine," Tommy said, as the others looked at the two of them. If they all had a coin that did that, then they were not too willing to open up their boxes and do the same thing. "It won't throw you unless you stand over it."
"Okay," Jason said, as he and Trini joined their coins and then let it drop, and walked a good distance away from the coin. Jason did not want her to get hurt at all and all of them agreed with his way of thinking. The last thing they really needed was to have to take someone to the hospital and make up another fake story.
Over the next few hours, they continued to round up all the things that they needed to take away from there. It was amazing how much Alpha and Zordon had of them, but they still had not been able to find some answers that they needed. They could only hope that Alpha would be able and willing to answer them when they came back to Reefside.
"Is everyone ready?" Billy asked, as they nodded their heads. They had been walking up and down the stairs for the past thirty minutes loading everything up, so that they would be able to leave before three o'clock. "Just follow me back to my place here. Then we'll go visit Ernie and you can walk around the town if you want to, but I warn you that things have changed so much since you left."
AN: I know, it's a kinda crappy ending to the chapter, but I hope to make it up to you in the next chapter with the little tour of Angel Grove. I hope that you enjoy it!
