Trini sighed, she had been home for a week, and she still hadn't made any progress on her primary goal. Being a Ranger was easy, even if the Red Powers were vastly different from the Yellow Powers she had once held. She had even managed to get Adam and Aisha to talk to her about how they felt about Rocky. Rocky, on the other hand, was proving difficult. He stonewalled her by simply feigning sleep whenever she came by. The first few days, his aunt had tried to chase her off, until Trini sat her down and explained a few things. Like how she wanted to help Rocky and how she was taking extra classes in psychology to be better at counseling her friends. It hadn't been easy, but now, Mrs. Ramos was on her side.

Today, she was making another try at helping Rocky. She walked into his hospital room, and found Adam with him, they were both laughing and she smiled. "Hi Adam," she said, "Rocky."

Rocky turned to look at her, "Trini," he said, "hi."

Adam looked at her a moment, and Trini's smile grew slightly larger, "Adam, Rocky, I need to talk with both of you," she said. At Adam's startled look, she knew he hadn't expected this, but getting Adam involved would be better than going it alone.

"What's up?" Rocky finally asked.

Trini took a seat in the second chair provided by the hospital and looked at them for a moment, "Tommy's still insisting that he wants to talk to you, Rocky, about your choice to leave the team."

Rocky frowned, "My choice, Trini. I don't want to force them to have me on the team."

"They do not," Trini said, "have you not seen them?"

"No," Rocky said.

"Tommy doesn't understand, Rocky. He thought you two were friends, at least." Trini said, "He told me that he learned a great lesson in friendship from Jason. I presume to believe that you both know how Tommy became a Ranger?"

Rocky nodded, and Adam said, "Yeah, Rita turned him evil and gave him a Power Coin."

"When Jason broke the spell," Trini said, "he offered his hand in friendship. None of us were too sure about Tommy, but we followed Jason into trusting him. I think Tommy knows how hesitant we were at first. I remember sitting with Kim, Zack and Billy at Kim's house, talking about it the night after we broke the spell. We agreed that even if we weren't sure yet, we'd be nice to him, and we were. In a matter of weeks, Zack didn't hesitate to spar, Kim was mooning over him, and I was offering him help with dealing with his guilt. We trusted him on the battlefield the day the spell broke, and we came to trust him off it as well. Jason trusted him from the moment the Sword of Darkness was destroyed. Tommy offers you the same friendship Jason gave him. He accepts you, and it doesn't matter to him that you are gay. He placed his trust in you when he lifted the Sword of Light, and you have yet to break that trust."

Rocky looked at Adam, then at Trini, "Why are you saying this?" He asked finally.

"Zordon and Tommy asked me to come back to help you. Yellow Rangers are healers, and my strength is in the mind, and a little bit of the spirit. I accepted the Red Power because it was necessary, but I came here to help you, Rocky."

"Why?" Rocky asked.

"Well, I thought we were friends, and friends are supposed to help each other. I trusted you to be my friend. Don't you trust me?" Trini replied.

Rocky clenched his hand for a long moment, then he nodded, "Yes," he said, "I trust you."

"All right," Trini said, and her communicator went off. "I'll come back tomorrow, and we can talk about something else."

"All right," Rocky said with a smile.
