A/N: So how do you like this story guys? Any thing that needs to be changed? Here is Billy's memories of Trini, you might want to get some tissues for this one.

Disclaimer: Don't own Power Rangers. Only the OC's I created.

Every one gave Billy time to think as a small boy came running up to them, he had dark brown hair, with light brown eyes, and his skin was darker then Billy's but lighter then Trini's.

"Daddy! Can we go outside and play?"

Billy looked at his son and then to the other children, he caught Adam's eye and took note of the answer that was there.

"Not right now buddy, why don't you guys go play in the play ground part of the Youth Center."

Skull had added on to the Youth Center so that children who were there with their parents, could play on their own. The new owner walked over and told him.

"Billy, I will keep an eye on them if you would like?"

The former Rangers looked up at him and Adam said. "That's fine, mind Skull you guys."

The four children went outside with the owner. Billy watched his son leave, he began to have tears well up in his eyes as he watched his only child walk out the door.

Jason looked at his best friend and put a comforting hand on his shoulder. "You OK Billy?"

Billy took in a ragged breath before saying. "I never thought I would walk in my father's shoes you know? When my mom died I never thought I would be walking full on in my father's shoes..."

Trent saw the hurt expression and asked gently. "What happened Mr. Cranston?"

Billy shook his head and said kindly. "Call me Billy, well, um... my story is probably going to be longer then Tommy's was; mine starts when I was 11 years old..."

It had been two years now since Billy had met Jason and Zack, he still got bullied even with their protection. One morning he noticed a small oriental girl sitting a few rows back, she seemed about as shy as him but he didn't recognize her. He knew Kimberly who sat near by but for some reason he did not know the other girl.

When the children were sent to recess he noticed Kimberly and the other girl playing by them selves, for some reason she stood out to him. He felt his heart speed up in his chest and he felt nervous around the girl.

Jason Scott saw his friend staring at the dark haired girl and said softly startling his friend. "Go talk to her."

Billy jumped when Jason spoke in his ear and he told him. "I can't just go up to her, besides why would I want to establish communication with a member of the opposite sex when I don't know what to call her."

Zack bounced up to them full of energy and said. "Does our man Billy have a crush! Awesome! Who is she?"

Billy frowned and said. "I don't have a crush Zack..."

Jason chuckled and said. "Really? Then you were just stalking her?"

He looked at the other two boys and said. "I was not."

Jason started laughing and said. "Really? Cause that's what it looks like to me."

Billy frowned at his friend as Zack chimed in. "My man Billy has a crush! That's so epic! So who is this girl?"

Billy rolled his eyes and pointed to the girl Kimberly was sitting with. Zack raised his eye brows and told him.

"Dang Billy-Boy, you have good taste, she is one fine little lady."

Both Jason and Zack began to banter Billy until the shy boy tackled them.

The young girl was forgotten as the boys began to play on their own. After school found Billy outside waiting on his father to come pick him up. He noticed the same girl standing at the bus stop looking upset. Billy made his way over and asked.

"Are you alright?"

She looked over at him and their eyes met, she told him softly. "Yes my mom will be here in an hour to pick me up. I missed the bus. I'm Trini Kwan by the way."

Billy shook her hand politely and said. "Billy Cranston, and it's nice to meet you. Why is it I never met you before? Are you new?"

She chuckled and said. "No, well sort of, my parents had me in private school before transferring me to public school."

"Why did they transfer you?"

They sat down on the bench and Trini answered him. "Because it cost way too much to keep sending me to private school. I have only been here for a couple days."

A car pulled up to the curb and Billy looked up to see his father get out of the car. "Billy are you ready to go son."

Billy looked up at his father and said. "Affirmative, can we take Trini home? Her mother won't be here for another forty five minutes, and the temperature is starting to get unusually piercing for this time of year."

Jarred Cranston looked at his son for a moment before looking at the young girl who was starting to shiver in the cool evening air.

"Yes son, we can take her home; young lady, do you need to call some one to inform them of your whereabouts?"

Trini stood up and said. "Yes, my mother and father are at work."

Trini ran into the school and made the call, Jarred looked down at his son and commented. "She's a nice little girl isn't she?"

Billy blushed and told his father honestly. "Affirmative, and pretty too."

Jarred chuckled and said. "Eleven years old and he's noticing girls! Stop growing up so fast!"

Billy looked up at his father shyly and said softly. "I'm not noticing girls dad... It's just that... um..."

Jarred thought back to his youth and remembered how he felt about girls at this age, he too had a crush on a young girl at eleven years old. "It's alright Billy. Some day you will know how to deal with the feelings..."

Years passed Billy and Trini grew closer as friends, and one day both became Power Rangers. Billy still never had the courage to ask her out on a proper date. One day after a particularly bad fight with one of Rita's monsters Billy did not follow his friends to the Youth Center like he normally did. He went home and tried to concentrate on projects, he was in the middle of one when there was a knock on the door.

"Enter."

The door opened to reveal Trini standing there with concern written all over her face. "Billy? Are you alright?"

Billy felt very guilty after being captured by Rita, and forced by way of a spell to disable Alpha and steal the Dragon Dagger. He felt lower that their parents were all held captive, he remembered the look in Jason's eyes as he laid there on the floor of the Dark Dimension while the others fought to save him. He never felt so horrible in his life, on top of humiliated.

Billy shrugged at her question and said softly. "As good as can be expected I guess... are the parents OK?"

Trini smiled at him and said. "Yes, they are fine, and have no memories of what had happened."

Billy didn't look up from working when Trini walked up beside him. "Billy, you know we don't blame you right? We are not mad."

Billy could feel his eyes sting with unshed tears at her words. "Trini, I stole the Dragon Dagger! I shut Alpha down! How could I do that! I betrayed the team... why didn't Zordon strip me of my powers?"

Trini saw that her friend was very upset and said softly. "Billy, listen, Zordon even told us that you were under a spell. You could not fight it."

Snorting he replied with. "Yea cause I'm the weakest link."

Trini gently slapped his shoulder to get his attention and told him. "You are not! Your strength may not come from outside, but your strong on the inside, Rita is powerful Billy. Even Tommy could not fight her spell. Remember that? He struggled hard but could not win in the end."

Billy was silent for several moments before he said. "I don't understand why I am such a looser to this team... I let you all down..."

"You did not let us down, if we felt you let us down then we would have told you. We are friends Billy, and friends are there for each other, no matter what."

He finally looked at her and saw in her brown eyes that she was serious. His heart skipped a beat noticing how close she was to him. He secretly loved her, but he could never bring him self to say it. After several minutes Trini told him.

"You will get stronger Billy, it's going to just take some time."

And she was right, another year went by and Billy could now fight with out Jason and Zack coming to the rescue, he even found the courage to stand up and argue with Tommy and Zordon once. But the day came when he got an early morning phone call from Trini that caused his heart to break.

"Billy... the results are in for who gets to go to the Peace Summit... meet me in the park in half an hour, I know it's early but I have to talk to you now."

He teleported to the park and waited for the Yellow Ranger's arrival. Deep down he hoped what she was going to tell him was not what he was thinking.

She walked over to him and they sat down at a picnic table close by. She held his hand and told him softly.

"I was one of them chosen to go Billy..."

He felt a lump form in his throat, he was afraid of this. Even with all of Jason's help at building his self confidence he still had not gotten the courage to ask her out. He knew now his time was running short.

"When do you have to go?"

Trini had tears welling up in her eyes as she squeezed his hand and said. "Two weeks..."

Billy looked into her eyes and looked deep inside him self and said. "Would you like to spend time with me by accompanying me to the picture show this weekend?"

She had been waiting for him to ask that for a long time, she knew he was nurturing a crush on her, as she was on him. It tore at her heart knowing she was chosen to leave.

"I would love that Billy, it took you long enough..."

Realization was in his eyes as he looked into them, he knew he now had to try and make things right before she left.

After she left a couple weeks later Billy felt lost with out her, in school or on the Ranger team. He knew Aisha was a wonderful addition and wore the color proudly, but something was missing. He missed Trini more then anything. She sent him letters every week, each time he felt they were growing closer but further apart as well. He only hoped she would not find love any where else, but they were not officially a couple so it was not like she would be cheating on him.

Years passed and Billy said good-bye to his friends as he stayed on Aquatar to regain his youth. He still held on to his love for Trini, it was her love that brought him back again years later to Earth. By then so much had changed, Tommy, Adam, Kat, Tanya, Rocky and Jason were no longer Rangers. Tommy was racing cars, Adam and Tanya were in love and thinking of moving forward in their relationship. Rocky was heading off to college, Kat and Tommy had broken up when things didn't work out so now Kat was moving away. But Jason remained in Angel Grove and was working his way thru College.

Billy and Jason had talked and Billy was told about Trini living in New York after leaving the Summit and finding out that Billy was no longer on Earth. When Billy learned this information he flew out to the other side of the country to find her. When he located her she ran into his arms crying. He whispered to her. "I will never leave you again..."

By 2000 Billy and Trini were living together, and they were back home in Angel Grove, by now they had been together for two years. When they ran into Tommy one day he was happy that Billy and Trini had gotten together, he had not been informed sooner about how long Billy had been back.

Then in January 2001 Trini became pregnant with their first and what would be their only child. In July Billy asked her to marry him, the date set was in October of that year. Trini gave birth to Jason Joel Cranston, in August. But when Trini was driving from an appointment back to home on September 3, 2001 her life was taken by a careless driver... leaving behind a new born son and a heart broken fiance, a group of heart broken friends and family...

Billy had tears running down his face as he finished his story, his heart breaking all over again as he recounted the events that caused him to be a single father to a now ten year old boy. With the help of his friends he had managed to get thru the last decade of his life. Jason put a hand on his shoulder as Tommy looked at him with understanding. The younger former rangers could only guess what the man felt like.

Kim reached to the middle of the table and took a napkin and handed it to her long time friend. Rocky looked sadly between all the others and said softly.

"Wow... I never knew about that..."

Aisha looked over at Rocky and then to the others. "Billy, I am so sorry... its crazy how we didn't even know that..."

Billy looked down at the table top after blowing his nose. "It's because I only told it to one person before... and I made him vow never to tell any one."

He looked into Jason's brown eyes then and the others understood what the two had talked about privately during the story when Billy had came back home.

Jason told them. "I knew Billy would tell the story when he was ready... when Trini and Billy found out that they were going to have a baby they named JJ after me. And also made me his Godfather if anything were to happen to them."

Billy knew it was weird in public to call out to two Jason's, so, Jason nicknamed his Godchild JJ so there would be no confusion.

About that time the doors burst open and the four children came running in, the two girls were soaked and JJ told them being out of breath.

"Dad! Dana and Debbie fell into the fountain outside."

Dana and Debbie were Tanya and Adams 4 year old twin girls, the girls were known for getting into mischief and often found them selves in strange situations. Their only son's name is Deangelo, well for now their only son, Tanya was currently 8 and a half months pregnant with their fourth child. And they had found out weeks ago that they were being blessed with another boy.

Tanya ran a hand over her swollen belly and said. "Girls, what have I told you about that!"

They both giggled as Adam gathered them up and took them to get changed, Adam knew they would need extra cloths so he packed some into their car before they left.

They watched him go as Jason said. "It's funny how times have changed, I know we all miss Trini. It's good that we are talking about her, it helps us all heal. It's strange how we battled one of Rita's monsters almost on a daily, sometimes weekly basis, and here a careless driver takes her life... She was a great friend and Ranger."

Kira asked Tommy. "Dr. O is that why I was chosen to be the Yellow Ranger?"

Tommy chuckled and told her. "Remember, the Dino Gems choose you, you didn't choose them. Besides it wasn't my doing that caused your personalities to change, it seemed like after you all found out about my past that you changed your selves. But before that Kira, you reminded me so much of Trini by the way you defended Ethan all the time. Or if he would say something no one understood you were able to translate it."

Jason looked at the newest former Yellow Ranger and told her. "I noticed that too, I would say you still do it a little bit. Trini could always understand Billy, no matter how he said something, she understood him completely. It seems like those colors were meant to be together... well almost every one..."

Trent and Kira had been a couple for several years, never getting married yet but they were still together. Kira only ever saw Ethan as her super intelligent friend.

Every one chuckled at that just as Adam came back in with two dry little girls.

"Did I miss anything?"

Tommy shook his head and sat back in his seat. "Nope, not a thing man, so who's going next?"

Aisha spoke up quietly from where she was sitting. "I know my memory of her is even more limited then yours Tommy but I would like to share something that happened between me and Trini if you don't mind."

Tommy smiled and waved his hand around the room and said. "Go right on ahead."

Aisha thought about what she was going to say, she tried to remember back to before she became a Ranger...
