There is some heavy drama in this chapter, but it only lasts for this chapter. I actually felt bad writing it. Whatevs, I hope you enjoy!

I don't own anything! Except Kaleb, but you all knew that.

I shook my head, getting all of the weird fuzzy feelings out of my head. That was an adventure I don't want to happen again! Being a kid with my old speaking disorder was not a cake walk. I turned to Alpha, "I have a question. Did time really go back?" I asked.

Alpha nodded, "Yes Kaleb, it went back eight years into the past."

My eyes widened, before turning to the gang, "Guys, I would love to fight PhotoMare off, but there is something I need to check out." I told them, taking off out of the classroom where Alpha released us and re-aged us. Before any of them had any protests, I was out of earshot.

I had to get there before the rangers destroyed the Rock of Time. I just had to see if he was here. I ran through the city at full speed until I reached my street. I slowed down when I saw two cars in my driveway, making me grin. I knew one was my sister's car and my mother shared it with her, so the second car must be his!

I ran up to the house and looked inside, through a window. I was right! He was here! So, if he was here in the past, that means he won't be gone in the future, right? I was about to open the door when I felt a hand on my shoulder. I looked around and saw that the gang was all there. I shoved Tommy's hand off of me, "Let me go, I have to see my dad!"

Kim looked at me with sad eyes, "Kaleb, you can't do that. If your dad and mom see you as a teenager while time is reversed, then the whole future could be ruined."

I glared at her, "I haven't seen, spoken to or even heard from my dad in six years, and now I finally get the chance to save him, and you aren't letting me? I'm sorry Kim, but whether or not the future changes, I'll risk anything if it means my dad will be with me for my whole life." I said, grabbing the door knob.

Rocky pulled me away from the door, "Kaleb, listen to us! If you open that door, you will be changing everything. You told us that you moved here to Angel Grove because your mom couldn't stand the memories that were in Connecticut. If you were to save your dad from disappearing, you wouldn't have a reason to move. You'd still be in Connecticut and you wouldn't have met us and you wouldn't be a Power Ranger! Doesn't that mean anything to you?" He asked, holding both of my arms behind my back. I still struggled, with tears in my eyes.

"I have to see him!" I cried, trying to get away from Rocky. He kept his hold on me, before turning to the others, "We have to get him to the Command Center. Zordon and Alpha will watch him while we take care of PhotoMare and that rock." He said.

I glared at him and the rest of them, "I hate you all! How come you can't understand?" I snapped at them. They didn't answer as they teleported to the Command Center. Before letting me go, Billy grabbed my communicator off my wrist. He placed it in his pocket, "Just so you don't get any ideas." He said. I glared at them all, before sitting down against the control panel, watching the Viewing Globe. Alpha just stood there, patting my shoulder, "I'm sorry Kaleb. There isn't anything that could be done." He said, sadly.

I just brushed his hand away, watching as the rangers morphed and got ready for battle. I can't believe that they wouldn't let me save my dad. Who cares if I don't become a Power Ranger? That isn't worth losing my dad over!

'But Kaleb, you have made so many new friends!'A female voice sounded in my head. I looked around, "Who said that?" I asked out loud. Zordon and Alpha both looked rather confused. "Kaleb, we are the only one's here and we haven't said anything." Zordon explained.

'Kaleb, this is your destiny!" The same voice sounded. I felt some kind of warmth in my back, so I reached behind me and pulled out my morpher. The Parasaurus Power Coin was glowing, 'Don't be mad at them. They just want to protect you.' The coin glowed brighter as the voice spoke.

My coin was talking to me? Okay, now I know I'm going crazy. "I don't care if they want to protect me. I just want to save my dad!" I responded to the coin. Yep, talking with a talking coin, I need help, pronto.

'Kaleb, this is all just an illusion created by Zedd's evil Time Rock. Seeing your dad would just play right into his hands.'Parasaur said.

I glared at the coin, "Oh, what do you know?" I asked, throwing the damn thing across the room. I watched the Viewing Globe as the rangers pulled out their Power Cannon and destroyed the Rock of Time. The globe changed scenes to my house, where my dad turned into a Putty Patroller and disappeared before my mother could even see it.

My eyes widened, before turning to Zordon, "But, my father, he was there, and then that putty, and my mother, but how did they others know?" I asked.

Zordon gave me a sad smile, "I did a sensor reading on your house, and found that it was a trap. A putty would've captured you and taken you to Lord Zedd where he'd surely destroy you. I warned the other rangers and they teleported to your house before you could enter." He explained.

I just frowned, placing my hands on my forehead, pulling my hair in frustration, "I have to apologize to the guys! Ugh, that was a dirty trick that Zedd guy pulled. If I ever meet him, I'll pulverize him!" I said, making a tight fist and punching a wall. "How dare he use my dad as bait?" I growled.

I then remembered something, and quickly ran over to the furthest wall. I bent down and picked up my morpher, looking at the coin. It stopped glowing, but I still spoke, "I'm sorry Parasaur. I didn't mean to throw you. I thought that the Power Rangers were just trying to keep me from changing the future so I could stay a ranger. I see now that they were trying to save me."

I saw a light flash across the coin, before I smiled. I held it close to my heart, then placed it back where it belonged. The rangers then teleported into the Command Center. As soon as the light subsided and they took their helmets off, I ran over and gave Rocky the biggest hug. "I'm sorry Rocky! I didn't mean to say that I hated you." I turned to the rest of them, "Any of you. I saw in the Viewing Globe that there was a Putty posing as my dad. I shouldn't have yelled at you guys." I said, sounding really guilty.

Rocky, who I was still hugging, wrapped his arms around me, "Hey Kaleb, you don't have to be sorry. It was perfectly understandable how you reacted. We just had to do whatever it took to stop you." He told me. I just pulled away from him and blushed, realizing what was going on. I chuckled nervously, "Um, oops, didn't mean to hold you that long. Hehe." I laughed nervously, backing away slightly.

To make sure it went unnoticed, I moved to Kim and hugged her, then the rest of the gang. Adam grinned at me, "So, Kaleb, how about you and me go play some soccer?" He asked. I turned to the gang, glad that none of them were angry with me. I nodded and the Black Ranger and I teleported out, after I got my communicator back of course. Time to make up for some lost time.

Once Adam and Kaleb left the Command Center, I smiled in relief. It was so lucky that we got to Kaleb's house when we did. If it had been a moment sooner, Kaleb would've been gone forever. It was an eye-opener for all of us. I think Kim and I were the ones that were hit the hardest by this reality if we failed.

Kim was Kaleb's closest friend in the gang. I'd always see them together when we were at the Juice Bar. They probably shared secrets with each other that no one else knew about. They hung out together after school, when Kim wasn't going on dates with Tommy at least.

All that time she spent with him, it sent a feeling through my stomach that made it churn and gurgle. It was a very uncomfortable feeling. All I knew was that I wanted to spend as much time with Kaleb as Kim did, and today, I could've lost the chance to. I decided that today, I would not take time for granted. You only have a limited amount and so I was going to make the best of it.

But first, to figure out these feelings in my head. Feelings about Kaleb. Now, I knew I was bi for a while, but I never had the courage to really tell anyone. The only ones to know are Aisha, which was a mistake I was glad to have made, and Adam, because he was my bestest friend since the second grade. The only problem was my family. I wasn't sure about my parents and younger brother, but I was definitely sure that my grandparents did not approve of anyone that dates the same gender, which is why I've kept it hidden.

But Kaleb, he's making things difficult for me. It was usually easy for me to keep control of myself, but with the younger boy, I found myself trying to impress him or such. I wanted to be his hero, hence the reason I offered him swimming lessons to get over his fear. I wanted to be that person he could talk to. The one that he could come to when there was a problem, or just to have a good laugh. The problem was, unlike Kaleb, I was scared of judgement. It was actually very serious.

I always tried to be the guy to fit in and not stand out, so when I made a large group of friends, I stayed in the middle of the social block, just so no one could judge me for being too bossy or just too socially awkward.

Now, I couldn't bring myself to tell my closest friends and teammates that I was bi and I may or may not have a crush on Kaleb. But watching the Viewing Globe and seeing Kaleb pass the ball back to Adam, the sight just made me give a fond smile, appreciating the fact that I could still call Kaleb my friend, even if I wanted more.

Kim looked around after conversing with Billy and Tommy and met Aisha's gaze. The Yellow Ranger nudged her head to Rocky and both girls looked to see the Tyrannosaurus Ranger watching with a soft gaze at the Viewing Globe. Both girls looked at each other with giant grins on their faces. They both nodded at each other and that began the process of a master plan.

So, Rocky has feelings for Kaleb, like Kaleb has feelings for Rocky. Who knew? Aisha and Kim are up to no good, or at least, it is good but it is sneaky. And what about Kaleb's dad? What ever happened to him?

Next time: Rita returns while the Rangers are on Vacation in Australia. Kaleb hopes to meet up with his friend, Kitty, but to no avail, as she is on the other side of the country. Evil Alpha tells the Rangers to head to an abandoned theatre and wait for further instruction, only to be attack by a bunch of monsters they've already beaten. Plus, Rocky tries exploring his new found feelings.

I love writing this part! Previews are so much fun!
