A/N: I'm meant to be revising, but you guys are more important .

Taz walked around the camp; it was in Michigan, and she was on her way to train her first class.

"Lieutenant Taz." the commander nodded as she passed him. Taz had been offered a promotion, but had refused it. She was the first rookie to be promoted to Lieutenant and skip the rank of Ensign, and she was the first Lieutenant to refuse a promotion. She couldnt care less, did her rank matter to Up being half a robot? No.

"Phill! Stop messing around! The teacher will be here soon!" a cadet yelled at another.

"Is that her?" Phill asked the first guy.

"Nah, to scrawny to be Lieutenant Taz."

"Lieutenant Taz? You mean Taz and Up?"

"Shes amazing!"

"She killed the last robot!"

"Yeah, that cant be her!" the guy yelled.

"Oh really? Jou think so?" all the cadets paused. She looked at her class. "First things first, no matter what you've heard, nobody, and I mean NOBODY" she screamed. "Mentions Commander Up." there were a few murmers from the class.

"NOBODY!" Taz screamed. She looked at the kid who doubted her Taz-ness. "Jou." he looked taken aback. "Get jour ass over here now."

"Yes Lieutenant?"

"What's jour name?"

"Sir, Max Krayonder, Sir!" he stammered. Taz shook her head.

"Pathetic name. Krayondare." she sighed.

"Sir, Sorry its pronounced Krayon-de-r, not Kray-on-dare, sir." he was begging to sweat. Taz shook her head.

"I have an accent, and that's all jou need to know." she snarled. "Krayonder then? Well, thanks to jour buddie Krayonder mocking my way of speaking, jou can all run twenty laps outside."

There was a chorus of "Thanks Max!" or "What kind of a lame-ass name is Krayonder anyway?" and one or two choice swear words, as the group went outside. Taz stood by the door, counting each time a cadet passed. Then she noticed a young man running the wrong way.

"HEY!" Taz screamed, and ran towards the man. "Jour running de wrong way." She turned him around, and he started babbling about a farm planet or something. Taz shook her head and motioned for him to start running again. "I hope I never work wid a farm planet kid." Taz growled under her breath as she walked back to where she was stood. Krayonder was the first back.

"Weeeeeeeeeeellllllllllllllll lllllllllllllll." he lengthened the word to much as he fiddled with his cap. "Whats my next task?" he grinned. Taz smirked. This kid had spunk. She looked around, and motioned for the strongest kid to come forwards.

"Battle training." She pointed to the mat. "Go!" She yelled. The pair started to spar on the mat, and soon the kid had beaten Krayonder. She walked over, and motioned for Krayonder to get up. "I once had to run laps for losing, and it hurts. But I was beaten in my first lesson by a third year. Two laps." he ran off, and Taz looked at the group that had formed. "Who's next?"

Two years had passed; and Taz's class were being transferred to the academy ship. She followed them all off the pod as it docked, and she looked at Space-Claw.

"Taz? How've you been?" he placed his arm on her shoulder.

"Fine." Taz snarled. Before she walked of she added "Don't mention Up to me."

Saki ran into her half a hour later.

"Things would have been better if you had stayed. She shook her head. "He wanted to see you, and he cried when we told him you'd left."

"Up doesn't cry."

"Well then, he's changed a lot. He cried when we mention you... I didn't tell him about Gabrielle, but if I did, he would have cried again. He cried even if we mention the Rangers. But now he's back." Saki shrugged. Taz growled and walked towards the cafeteria, followed by Saki. "Where are you going."

"Well, I need food." Taz growled. She grabbed her plate full of eggs and bacon, before turning to look for a place to sit. And there he was, his back to Taz. But she knew it was him, with his grey hair and wearing a grey body suit. Taz looked around, before she was Freya and George sitting at a table to the right of where Up was. Taz and Saki went and sat down beside them, and Taz noticed something on Freya's fingers. "Mierda!" she looked at the pair of them. "Jour getting Married?" Freya and George looked at each other, before they nodded.

"We were waiting for you to come back." George smiled. Freya looked at her.

"Will you be a bridesmaid with Saki?" Freya asked. Taz nodded, before digging into her eggs and bacon.

It was the wedding reception, and Taz stood towards the back, wearing a knee length white dress with a black ribbon across the waist, identical to Saki's, except the ribbon on Saki's was a light pink. Taz reclined against the wall at the back, fiddling with her dress. That morning she had got the news that she would be going on an exploration mission with Up and New Cadets and one Rookie, her Rookie Krayonder. That kid got on her nerves, but as his Mentor, he would be one of the strongest rangers. He appeared now, and grinned at Taz.

"Are you okay?" he asked. Taz nodded.

"To many memories." she shrugged. "Don't!" she shut his mouth before he could talk.

"I wasn't going to." he frowned. "Don't beat yourself up over it." he was wearing a light grey suit, and had ditched his stupid cap for the evening. He held out his hand and mimed dancing, but Taz shook her head.

"I only dance with Up." and she left the room.
