Wes slowly slumped into the dining room where his father was eating breakfast.

"Wesley, is everything all right?" asked his father, setting the newspaper off to the side.

"Huh?" Wes, still lost in his thoughts, sat down slowly. "Oh, yeah, I'm fine. Just a dream. It's nothing. Really."

"About Jen again?" asked his father. For the past few weeks Wes had been having reoccurring dreams about Jen, always the same thing, her coming to him, hugging him, something seemed very wrong, she wasn't herself and then always asking him to promise her, but never saying promise her what.

"Yeah," he answered dryly as he poured himself some cereal.

"Same one as the others?"

"Yeah."

"Want to talk about it?"

"Not really." Wes played around with his cereal, not feeling really hungry as his depression slowly began to sink in once again. He should be over it by now, that's what he kept telling himself, but he just couldn't and these dreams weren't helping. He only wished he knew what they meant, or maybe if they would just go away he could move on with his life. "I'm going to go head into work."

"Wes, it's Saturday, your day off."

"I know. But I have a lot of work to do, don't want to get behind." He started to get up.

"It can wait till Monday. Why not take the weekend off, go up to the cabin, see Tommy," urged his father.

"Nah, I'm not really in the mood. I'd rather stay home."

Collins sighed. He stood up and walked up to Wes and gently patted him on the shoulder. "You can't keep doing this to yourself son. It's not healthy."

Wes nodded his head. "I know. It's just…I-I don't know."

"What would Jen want you to do?" His father left him with that as he headed out of the dinning room.

Wes sighed heavily. She would want him to move on, but he was having trouble doing that. He just couldn't see himself with anyone else.

"Hey, big brother." Karone walked up to Andros and wrapped her arms around him. "So, you come to take me home?"

"That is the plan. Still assuming you were able to finish the negotiations." Andros stepped back as one of Mirinoi's elder leaders walked forward along with Mike Corbett and his brother Leo.

"The negotiations went well, Andros. Your sister, along with the inhabitants of the planet Earth, were very convincing that this will do a great deal for my home world, as well as yours. We are very grateful." The old man smiled.

"And it did help that your sister has her way of getting people to do what she wants," Leo put in.

Andros chuckled at that. "Putting on the old Astronema charm, huh, Sis?"

"Once a girl in charge, always a girl in charge."

"Well, I'm sure Zhane will be pleased to know that."

"Is he here? It's been forever since I last saw him." Ever since she had joined Leo and his team back in 1999, she had remained with them, keeping in close contact with her brother and then when he called her to represent KO-35 to set alliances with Mirinoi she had decided to stay until the arrangements were made.

"No. He's back on KO-35, on our way back to Earth we'll be picking him up."

"That's great. And the others?"

"Are back on the ship, happily awaiting your return," finished Andros. "Are you all set?" Andros knew that it would be hard for his sister to leave this place after being here for a little over six years. She had made a lot of friends, a lot of good memories.

"Yeah." She turned to Mike and hugged him. "Take care, Mike. And look after Leo for me, keep him out of trouble."

"Hey, now," laughed Leo. "I don't get into that much trouble."

"Oh, you don't have to worry about that," Mike kissed her on the cheek. "You take care too, and thank you for all your help."

"Don't mention it." Karone then turned to Leo. "Well, I guess this is it."

"Yeah." Leo smiled faintly. He and Karone had grown close for the past six years, but nothing had ever come of it. She was and always had been in love with someone else, but it was no lie that both of them cared a great deal for each other, something that went beyond friendship. "Goodbye, Karone."

For a long moment she looked him in the eyes, smiling, tears going down her cheeks. She leaned forward and gently kissed him on the cheek. "Goodbye Leo." She then turned away, waving goodbye, and then headed towards the direction of the ship.

"Well, it was good seeing you guys again. And thanks for looking after her for me."

"It was no problem. You helped us out big time with the Psycho Rangers. Take care of yourself, Andros." Mike shook Andros' hand and then patted Leo on the shoulder before leaving and heading back towards the village.

"It was you, wasn't it? You sent her to us, after what happened to Kendrix," Leo said.

"I told Karone what had happened. She wanted to help, make up for all the bad things she had done. So I guess in a way I sent her, but it really was her own decision." Andros smiled faintly. "You love her, don't you?" He could see it in Leo's eyes.

He grinned. "I don't know. I'm not sure what I feel. Love, strong friendship, a little of both." Leo bit his lip. "This guy Zhane, good guy, right?"

"Yeah. One of the best. If he wasn't, there's no way I'd let him anywhere near my sister."

Leo laughed. "Well, I guess this is goodbye. For a while anyway."

"Yeah. See yah around Leo." Andros started heading towards the ship to join the others.

"Be sure to tell the others I said hi!"

"I will."

Leo stood alone, watching as Andros got on board the ship and flew off into space. "Goodbye Karone, I wish you well."

"Okay, what's wrong?" Tommy asked as he walked down his porch and sat down next to Wes. Wes had arrived over an hour ago, not saying very much and had just sat down on his porch. "Other than the obvious."

"What do you mean?" asked Wes as he played with a stick, moving it around in the dirt.

"You've been here over an hour and said no more than two words."

"Oh." Wes tossed the stick, sighing. "A lot of things I guess. My dad, I think he's hiding something from me, both him and Andros. And then I've been having these dreams about Jen-"

"Oh, of Jen, huh." Tommy grinned.

"Not those kind," Wes muttered shaking his head. "I think you've been hanging around Conner too much."

Tommy laughed. "Sorry, couldn't resist, just trying to lighten the mood."

Wes smiled faintly. He wasn't even sure why he was here. He had just started driving and ended up here. Maybe it was because he had nowhere else to go. Maybe it was because Eric was in Michigan with Hayley. Maybe it was because Tommy was the only one that would understand.

"So Andros has been seeing a lot of your dad lately," Tommy asked.

"Ah yeah, working together expanding the Silver Guardians, and about the alliances between the other planets."

"Yeah. Andros told me a little of what was going on. Pretty intense."

"What do you think of all these alliances?"

"I think it's a good thing. Most of the people I know who were from other planets are all good people," he answered as he turned to Wes questioningly. "Don't you think it's a good thing?"

"Yeah, I guess. Just a lot to take in." Wes sighed. "I haven't been in the best of moods, so that's probably affecting my feelings towards this."

Tommy gripped Wes's shoulder. "Hey, things will get better, believe me they always do. It does hurt, but you've got to move on."

Wes nodded his head. "How was her- wedding?" asked Wes, knowing recently the girl Tommy had, and still, loved with all his heart had gotten married.

"It was nice. We even danced together."

"Is he a good guy?"

"Yeah. Can't really say anything bad about him." And he couldn't, Kim had married a good decent guy, a guy Tommy couldn't help but like. He was kind, generous, and so in love with Kim. Still, Tommy couldn't help but feel a pang of jealousy, wishing it had been him she married, but it probably was only natural he felt that way. After all, she had been his first love.

Wes nodded his head. "Did Jen say anything to you, you know, after I left?" It was a question he had been wanting to ask for a year, a question he was afraid to ask, afraid of the answer.

"No. After you and the others left, she kept her distance, was real quite. I didn't even get to say goodbye to them; when I woke up both she and Alex were gone. Must have left sometime during the night."

"Oh." Wes bit hit lip, nodding his head. "Well, I-I think I should be going, it's getting late."

"Why don't you stay, we can catch a movie or something." He gripped Wes's shoulder. "Have a guys' night out."

"Nah." Wes got up and started towards his bike. "Thanks though."

"Drive safely, Wes. And if you ever need anything give me a call."

"Thanks. See yah around, Tom." Wes hopped onto his bike and drove off.

Tommy watched as Wes drove out of sight. "Hang in there, Wes."

He felt himself overwhelmed with memories as he walked into his room, their room. This had been the room they shared, while they stayed in the cabin. That was a year ago, and he hadn't been here since. He could almost catch her scent, hear her voice whisper his name. "Jen…"

"Put me down this instant Wes! We have a lot of work to do," she tried to be serious, but it failed with a laugh. "Or else!"

He carried her into his room, kicking his door shut. "Or else what?" He dropped her onto the bed, just staring into her face, smiling brightly, love shining in his eyes.

She smiled brightly at him, looking into his face. "Stop that."

"Stop what?" He lay down next to her, staring into her face, gently stroking her cheek.

She held his hand next to her cheek. "Looking at me like that."

"Like what?" He kissed her gently on the lips. "Like I love you more than anything?"

She felt it as he pressed his lips against hers. "Working on your charm again, huh?"

"Is it working?" He pulled her into his arms, holding her lovingly.

"Maybe." She turned around in his arm, staring into his face and kissing him gently on the lips…

The memory soon faded away and Wes realized he was alone. He sighed heavily as he walked out of the bedroom, closing the door behind him, hoping to leave behind his haunting memories.
