A/N: Here it is, the next installment. Thank you to all my readers who review, and those who don't, please do! A girl likes to know that she's appreciated! There's a bit of gay humor here, but it's meant as a joke, so don't take offense. In my sugar moments, I like Rocky/Adam stories as much as the next girl. Oh, and there's another part that I'm asking people not to hate me for, if my muses behave, I intend to see all the people mentioned below find their special someone.

Adam paced his room quietly; he was dressed in jeans and a t-shirt. Billy watched him in silence, like his spirit animal, Billy had the patients of the ages. Adam, also given a patient spirit animal, found himself unable to take comfort in the gifts of the Frog. Instead, he was trying to figure out what he was going to do. His fiancé was pregnant with his child and in love with another man. Only he would wind up with this hand, Fate had it in for the Frog, as usual. First Tanya, now Aisha, the women he cared for tended to leave him hanging until he cut the strings. Why had he ever considered marrying? He knew he was jinxed, had been since the first time he'd ever tried to date someone. It was his luck the girl's family was of Wiccan persuasion, and they had all jumped at the chance to curse him when the date had been interrupted by, what else, a monster attack. He would never find the right girl, they said, until he had survived two and twenty heartbreaks. Meaning he had to love and lose twenty two people. He always wondered if Rangers and Zordon counted in that, because he'd have far less trouble with that.
"Adam?"
Adam turned and found Rocky standing in the door, "Yeah, Rocko?" Adam asked quietly.
"I'm sorry," Rocky replied. "Witch Girl's curse, huh?"
"Yeah," Adam said. "It's got to be. Of all the people I'd spill to, she'd be one of them, if only to get this curse off me."
"Curse?" Billy asked, startled.
"Some chick Adam dated was a Wiccan, after the third or fifth interrupted date, she got her family together and placed a curse on Adam for it. He has to survive two and twenty heartbreaks before he can be happy in love." Rocky said, closing the door behind him. "I always thought the wording was odd, I mean, what if it meant that you had to suffer two personal and twenty others. Because if that was an accurate interpretation, you'd be done. You've got Tommy and Kim's break up, Tommy and Kat, Aisha and me, Andros and Ashley how many times? Karone and Zane, Dana and Carter, Dana and Chad, Maya and Kai, Hailey and that guy Nick, Phantom and Cassie, Mike and Cassie, Carlos and Cassie, TJ and Cassie, Phantom and Cassie again, Billy and Cestria; and I'm forgetting someone, I'm sure. You're like our relationship guru man."
"Shut it Rocky," Adam said, throwing himself down on the bed, "What am I going to do? I mean, I still love Tanya, but Aisha's pregnant, and I care for her."
Rocky sat beside him, "No matter what, man, you know Aisha won't deny you your child, or children. Could be twins. Besides, you said you love Tanya, but you care for Aisha. Will you resent her later for tying you into a family?"
"Would you?" Adam asked.
"No," Rocky said, "Because it's Aisha. I could never resent her." He flopped back on the bed and stared at the ceiling. If Aisha and I made a go of it, I'd love her child, and I would never resent that he or she wasn't mine. I'd like some of my own, of course. Just so long as you don't name the kid Ed, I don't think I could handle it."
Adam sighed, "You and I should just give over and run away together." He said, not really thinking about what he said.
"What?" Rocky sat up.
Adam smiled, "Joking, Rocky. I love you man, but not that way. Still, it would totally screw with the Curse."
Rocky laughed, "And it would be one in the eye for, well, everyone." He considered, "I could give you a list of people who'll win money on that one."
Adam sighed, "I just don't know what to do, Rocky. I don't want to hurt her."
Rocky flopped back down, "I think you should talk to them both, Tommy's told us both not to talk to either of you, but I think that's stupid. Nothing going to be figured out until the four of us decides what we want."
Adam considered for a moment, and then sat up, looking at Billy, "Can we lock you in a closet for a bit, Billy? That way you can say you couldn't stop us."
Billy smiled, "Can we use the bathroom instead, you know stick a chair under the knob."
"Affirmative," Adam said, lightly teasing him. They set up the bathroom door and Adam turned to Rocky, "You go kidnapped Tanya and I'll get Aisha. We'll meet on the roof."
Rocky nodded and pulled the door open, after all, there were times when the blue in him respected the black in Adam.
