Chapter 35: An Old Tale

"Sydney?"

Syd felt herself jump, but found out that it was only the commander and RIC. Sydney stood at attention.

"Relax, Syd; what are you doing up?"

"I can't sleep. I guess I should have tried harder, but lately, of I don't take any pills to induce sleep, I feel like I can't get any. Another thing is bugging me though, commander. I feel like I have seen these things, these rumbits before tonight, but that is impossible! It is impossible right commander?"

Anubis drew in a breath and knew that the secret that he hoped that would never have be told would now have to surface. It was a secret that he had been holding for quite a while.

"No actually Sydney, It isn't."

"But how? How could I have seen these things before now? You just told Sky that they haven't been seen for a while. "

"I told you and Sky that the world hasn't seen them in a while. I, on the other hand have. So, now let me tell you how and when you might have seen a rumbit before."

"Okay"

"Keep this in mind though; this is the first time in 18 years that you and I have seen them. You were about 20 weeks old and your parents and I were with you at the park having a picnic. You were practice walking with Carter and I, and you had just made it halfway between your father and I when out of nowhere came a rumbit and it picked you up. That was the day that we learned that rock Sydney was around. You must have had a rock next to your hand or foot because we saw that you kicked him and he almost dropped you. Your Uncle Ryan and grandfather were just coming, so your mother came over and gave you to me and then I gave you to your grandfather when they got there so I could help your uncle, mom and dad. We didn't want you to remember what happened or at least we hoped that you wouldn't."

"Wow, how did you know my mom and dad, Commander?"

"I am your godfather, along with your uncle, so that if something would have happened to your own grandfather, parents and your uncle, then I would take you and I was there the day and hour you were born. Your father was the red blaze ranger and my partner and patrol partner before Sky's father took over as the new red ranger and no longer was called the blaze rangers, and before I became the commander, and it was also before I decided to retire Shadow ranger, and just before Sirius was attacked. Your mother took a science/medical position and the she left after she became pregnant with you."

"Why didn't you wipe my memory of the event if you didn't want me to remember the event?"

"Well, you were learning things and we probably didn't think that you would remember it considering how young you were at the time."

"So, I've seen a rumbit before and I am not just imagining and dreaming things."

"Yes, you have and no, you aren't."

"And you are my godfather?"

"Yes, I am"

"Commander, could I ask you again to break my pill for me and could I just sleep in here since Sky and I traded Z and Bridge patrol duty for paperwork duty and the early shift."

"Yes, to the first and I guess so to the second one."

Doggie broke the pill and watched his goddaughter pass out before he caught her and placed a blanket over her so she could sleep on the couch.
