Thanks so much to the people who have been reviewing regularly and sharing their own observations and stuff with me. I love reviews!

Dear Journal,

It's over. All of it. I guess I should have known it would end someday. I mean it's not like it could last forever right?

I guess I should start at the beginning. Well Shane and Dustin got themselves into the U.S. Action Games. And Blake got auditioned by Factory Blue. And was asked to sign a contract to tour with them. Which was great because he was happy he got in and I was happy that there was no way he could go with all the ranger stuff going on. Win-win right?

So Sensei gives us the go ahead and off we go with Kelly. Let me tell you, this place was awesome! There were people everywhere, always throwing these insane tricks. It was incredible. Of course while I was ogling over the craziness the guys were ogling over "the babes." Including Cam! I know, crazy huh?

Then, all of the sudden, there was Lothor. So much for a few days off. All of the sudden Marah and Kapri were very interested in an area nearby. Hunter and Cam were the ones who spotted them and apparently they got some unsolicited help from these kids nearby.

Anyway, after they finished things off we checked out this open patch of grassy field but couldn't find anything. Then Cam's amulet did this bizarre freezing thing so it was back home for him.

We stayed behind to keep watching the skateboard stuff and of course then Vexacus showed up. So it was zord time for us. We got beaten, badly and Kelly started to get nervous that we wouldn't be back in time. Then there was this major earthquake and the thunder zords got blown to bits. I was freaking out because we couldn't find Blake and Hunter in the wreckage. And it was seriously bad.

Then before we could get back to Ops the place got attacked by none other than Lothor himself. They all duked it out, destroying the base and kidnapping poor, powerless Cam in the process.

Fortunately Blake and Hunter showed up, intact, right then which put my heart back to normal. Then Sensei showed up out of nowhere. And human no less! Sadly he didn't have good news for us. Lothor was opening up the Abyss of Evil. Which meant that we had to stop it. Which meant that it was back to Lothor's ship for Blake and Hunter. Someone had to rescue Cam and the other ninja students. And so once again, there went my heart.

Then Sensei told us that we had been prophesied about all along. It was our destiny to go face Lothor at the Abyss.

So we morphed. I wish I had known then that it would be for the last time.

Lothor attacked in zord mode while Hunter and Blake, surprisingly with Marah and Kapri's help, freed all the students and Cam, and blew up the ship.

Meanwhile, fair is fair, Lothor was blowing up our zords. And his too in the process. Then the Abyss started erupting. Boy were we in for it.

And so began the showdown. All the monsters we had already faced, we had to do it again. All by ourselves. As if it weren't bad enough the first time.

Everybody else showed up a little late, but even that wasn't enough.

First Lothor sucked Blake and Hunter's powers into the Samurai Amulet. Then he blasted Cam. Then he took our powers too. They're gone. All of them. And we knew that without morphing, there was just no way.

Then Lothor started making a grandiose speech, as evil villains are so prone to do. Well that got us mad. So me, Shane, and Dustin blasted him into the Abyss with our ninja powers. They'll do in a pinch. The Abyss imploded, so it was bye-bye Lothor.

Don't get me wrong, all this was easier said than done, and we've all got the scars to prove it.

So with Lothor gone it was back to the games for us, although not having our powers sort of put a damper on our celebrations. But Dustin got third in freestyle and Shane got offered a sponsorship. Which he turned down because (drum roll please) we all graduated!

Shane, Dustin, and I are teachers at the Wind Ninja Academy now. Cam also has a position with us. Hunter got the head teaching job at the Thunder Academy. And Blake…

Blake and I broke up. And it hurts more than I ever thought it would. It hurts more than losing my powers. After we got back from the games he decided to sign with Factory Blue. He said it would be harder, but he wanted to stay together. And I told him no. It was time for him to pursue his dreams and I didn't want to hold him back; in any way. And so I kissed him one more time and then I ran away, because I'm a coward and I didn't want him to see me cry, because I was afraid if he did he might hold me; and then I never would have let go.

Because even though I know it was the right thing to do, I hate myself for it right now. Just for once in my life I wanted to be selfish. Just for once I wanted to have things my way. For the first time in my life there was a guy who liked me just as much as I like him. And he understood me, and…I loved him.

So we're friends now, just friends. And I'm crying. And I cried yesterday when he left. And I'll probably cry tonight when I'm alone in my room and wondering if he's thinking about me.

He's probably going to meet some gorgeous girl while on tour and fall madly in love and I'll never see him again. He did ask me if I'd come watch him sometime, after graduation, and I smiled and said sure. But I won't. I can't. Not now. It hurts too much.

I know he won't call or write and maybe that's for the best. But I wish…I don't know. Things were different. Or better yet, the same as they were.

The hardest part is that we never really told the guys we were together, although I think they suspected. So they can't understand and it's like our relationship didn't even happen.

So it's over. Everything. And life's not going to be the same. Someday, I might get over this. Someday it might be okay. And maybe there'll be another guy. But until then…I don't know.

I'm not going to write in here anymore. This is a journal of my time as a ranger and that's ended. So, I'm saying goodbye to you too. It's been great. And I'm glad I'll always have this record of my time as a ranger. But for now, you're over too. Goodbye.

Tori

Well, yeah. I know, it was sort of a downer of a chapter. But don't be too sad. There might be one or two more chapters left. After all, Tori did appear in two more two-part episodes. Who knows? Sorry it took so long to get this up. It might be awhile for the next one too. Review please!
