Oliver's House

Tommy had pushed his bed to the far side of the room so that Billy's bed would fit in the room as well. They put the bed on the other side of the room. It had been a long day and yet no one really wanted to go to sleep. Sleep means that tomorrow will come and everything that had happened today, will become all too real. Billy had changed into some green pajamas that Tommy loaned him.

"Gee Billy, green is not your color!" Tommy said teasing his friend, trying to get a smile out of him.

"No, I guess it isn't. Blue is more my color." Billy said sadly.

"Tomorrow, we can go to your house and Trini's to get your stuff, so you will feel more comfortable."

"No, if I move my things in here, it will mean that I accept he is dead. I don't accept it. I can't."

"Billy, you will be okay. You have us here for you."

Billy didn't look up at him, but he did let out a yawn.

"We should be getting to sleep; after all, it is midnight. Come lets go say goodnight to Trini." Tommy told him.

Billy slowly got off the bed and followed Tommy down the hall to the guest room where Trini is staying. Tommy knocked on the door.

"Come in."

Tommy opened the door. Trini was already in bed, cuddled up with the extra pillow on the bed.

"We just came to say goodnight. Are you going to change the room a bit?" Tommy asked.

"No, tomorrow we will find my parents and I will get to go home." She answered.

Tommy nodded, his friends were in so much pain and he didn't know how to help them.

"I'm here if you ever want to talk."

"We can talk too!" Billy added.

Trini nodded and the boys left to go back to their room. Billy and Tommy were out as soon as their heads hit the pillow. Though neither of them slept really well.

Scott's House

Lacey and Joseph had moved Jeremy out of the room he shared with Jason, so that Zack could have his bed, and in with his brother Justin who is 8. Zack laid down on the bed that was once occupied by the 10-year old. he just stared at the ceiling of the room. He has known Jason since they were 5 and have spent many nights at his house. But tonight was different, tonight his parents were dead. He hopes it isn't true. He doesn't want it to be true, but in his heart he knows that it is true. They're gone and are never coming back.

Kimberly went into say goodnight to her brother and Zack, who may be her brother soon enough.

"Night Red, Night Blacky!" She said.

"Hey Pinky, how are you supposed to help us move Zack in with your arm still in a cast." Jason teased

Kimberly stuck her tongue out at him and closed the door behind her.

"Come on Zack, we should be getting to sleep." Jason told him.

Zack said nothing and continue to stare at the ceiling.

"You know you could always talk to Kim and I about how your feeling. I promise most of the people in this house understands exactly what your feeling."

"I know that, but right now it just hurts too much."

A few days later

Dana stopped by Lacey's office because she had called her.

"Hi how are Trini and Billy adjusting?" Lacey asked.

"Okay as can be expected. They are still hoping their parents will turn up and alive. How is Zack doing?"

"He is hanging; the reason I called is that there had been word. Bodies were found and identified. It is Zack and Trini parents and Billy father. It is official, they are dead."

"Oh man, I kept waiting for those words' but nothing made them easier. So what happens now?" Dana asked.

"Now, Joseph and I are filing to adopt Zack. I can do the paperwork for Trini and Billy if you would like. That is if you are still planning on adopting them." Lacey asked.

"Yes, if they are ready and still want us too. I just don't want to push them. They are hurting bad enough as it is."

"I just don't know why Rita Repulsa took us, and why she killed the parents of 3 innocent teens. None of it makes any sense. Being a lawyer, I hate loose ends."

"Hey Trini, would you like to go to the movies with me tonight." Jason asked when he saw her in the hall of school. She was standing with Tommy and Billy. "We can even make it a double date."

"I can't it is a school night. My parents would never let me go out on a school night." Trini replied before she realized what she was saying. As soon as she realized it, she burst into tears.

Tommy and Jason tried everything they could think of, to make her stop crying. In the end they just let her cry.

The school day went on forever it seemed. It was the roughest on the 3 teens whose parents disappeared on Parents' Day and never made it back.
