Aisha sat down in a chair on her grandfather's deck with a glass of lemonade. Rocky and Adam sat in the chairs across from her. They were catching up on what had happened. Aisha was in the process of telling them about what she had done so far in Africa. "Don't get me wrong I miss you guys but I'm glad I stayed. So what's going on with you guys?"

"We just graduated high school yesterday," Rocky said.

"That's great," Aisha exclaimed happily. "I was home schooled in Africa so I didn't get a graduation ceremony but I'm so happy for you. I wish I could have been there to see it."

"Me too," Adam said smiling. "But I'm glad you are here."

"Hi," Paula said coming outside with a platter of cookies. "I thought you guys might be hungry," she said before setting the platter onto the table. She left.

Rocky immediately grabbed some of the cookies and started eating them.

Aisha watched and shook her head. "I guess things will never change."

Adam laughed. Rocky glared at both of them. "I'm hungry," he explained. "I haven't eaten since the sundaes for breakfast."

Aisha had a horrified look on her face. "Sundaes for breakfast?" She asked.

"Well only Rocky had his for breakfast. Everyone else had a more sensible breakfast," Adam explained.

Aisha just laughed. She had missed all of her friends. She was glad to be back for a visit. "So how is everyone?" She asked.

"Everyone's doing great," Adam said. "They all can't wait to see you." He didn't want to bring up Tommy until he had to. He checked behind him to see if anyone was listening. "We are now using the Turbo powers and fighting someone named Divatox."

"Is Billy still on Aquitar?" Aisha asked. "The last letter I got from Tanya said that Billy went to Aquitar to have his aging reversed."

"No he's not on Aquitar," Rocky answered. That explained how she didn't find out about Tommy's death. "He came back from Aquitar. He went with Zack to help some people," that was the truth. It was sort of hard to explain what had happened even to him.

Aisha nodded. "And Kat? Are she and Tommy dating? Tanya sort of thought they were going to."

"Uh no," Adam answered, "I don't think Kat is dating anyone right now."

Aisha pouted. "You guys are horrible for gossip," she stood up. "I'm going to call Kat and Tanya to see they can come over tomorrow. I need someone to fill me in on things and you guys are not exactly volunteering answers. Maybe Tommy and Jason can come over too."

Adam and Rocky exchanged looks. They had to tell her.

Aisha saw them exchange looks. "What is it?"

"Aisha," Adam started to say but he stopped.

"What is it Adam," she asked. "You can tell me."

"I don't know how to tell you," Adam said. "Jason's gone." He decided to start with the easier one of the two.

"Gone? With Billy and Zack?"

"We don't know where he is," Rocky answered. They knew where the future Jason was but that didn't explain anything. "He disappeared about six months ago. No one knows where he is."

"What about Tommy?" She asked. "Did he disappear too?"

Neither Rocky nor Adam wanted to answer.

"What happened to Tommy?" She asked fear gripping her. She knew it had been awhile since her last letter from Angel Grove but not that long right? Kim's letter didn't tell her anything but her Pan Global schedule.

"Tommy was bitten by a snake and died," Adam said before bursting into tears.

Aisha sat down in the chair and stared at them her mouth open in shock. "Are you serious?" She asked her voice barely above a whisper.

Rocky nodded.

Aisha burst into tears and soon all three teens were crying.

The next day Aisha walked into the Youth Center. She looked around and realized it looked just like she remembered it. She saw Detective Stone standing behind the counter. She saw Jason wiping down the counters.

She blinked a few times. No that wasn't Jason, she remembered. It was Asa. Rocky and Adam had filled her in on everything that had happened. She still couldn't believe it.

"Aisha!" Detective Stone called. "I heard you were back in town."

"Hi Detective Stone," she said coming up to the Juice Bar. A cat came up and rubbed its head against her hand. She reached over and pets it.

"This is Lucky," Detective Stone said. "He's a pretty friendly cat which is strange as cats are shy creatures. Can I get you a smoothie?"

"Sure. I'll take a strawberry one. Are you running the Juice Bar now?"

"I took it over from Ernie," he explained. "This is Lee," he said pointing at Asa, "He's staying with me for awhile."

"It's nice to meet you Lee," she said. "My name's Aisha."

"Hello," he answered before turning his back to make the smoothie.

"It's on the house Lee," Detective Stone said before putting the towel down on the counter. "How long are you here for?"

"About a month then I'm going to New York to watch Kim in the Pan Globals."

"Yes I heard about that," Detective Stone said, "I was thinking of setting up a couple of TVs so people can come here and watch her compete. I know everyone's excited about it."

"What's that?" Lee asked as he handed Aisha her smoothie.

"Kimberly Hart, who used to live here, is competing in the Pan Globals next month." Detective Stone explained.

"That's nice," Lee said feigning ignorance. He went over to take the order of a teenager that had just walked up to the juice bar.

"He's kind of shy," Detective Stone explained.

Aisha smiled before saying goodbye. She walked over to where Kat and Tanya were waiting. They were meeting to go shopping.

"So tell me about Asa," she said dropping her voice. "Adam and Rocky just said he's Jason's son from the future."

"That's about all we know," Kat answered. "Jason sent a message saying he was sending Asa here to be the Red Turbo Ranger. As far as everyone else is concerned, Asa has amnesia and selected the name Lee."

"He seems like a nice guy," Tanya said, "but we really haven't been able to talk to him." She looked at her watch. "I have a date with Adam so we better get going."

Aisha inwardly cringed. Before she 'moved' to Africa, she and Adam had been dating. She was happy for her friends but she still really liked Adam.

They stood up and left the Youth Center.

Notes: Slow chapter but I just wanted to get Aisha caught up.
