Sky couldn't believe to hear what Alex had told him.
"I think it's best you shouldn't know about this." Alex said.
"Why won't you tell me what happened? Do any of you know?" Sky asked, but none of them didn't know what to tell him.
"Why don't you all want to tell Sky about his dad's death?" Andrea asked, though no one still didn't want to say anything.
"It was hard for all of us on what had happened to your dad, especially for your mom. It wasn't easy for her to lose someone she loved." Katie said.
"We all know how much she loved him from what we told you before when you were a kid." Trip said.
"Your mom was the one who told us what had happened, but I think Eric should tell you this, though I don't think he would want to remember." Lucas said.
"We just want you to know your dad was our friend, and we will never forget him." Katie said.
"He was a great ranger and leader. We will always remember him." Trip said.
"Not just him, your mom also, both our friends will remember always." Lucas said.
"If you all don't mind, I need to talk to Sky for a bit." Alex said. They all nodded in agreement, then got up going inside.
"Not to worry, I understand here I'll take RIC with me. Come on, RIC." Andrea said, while RIC was following her inside.
"I already know so much about my dad and most of my mom in love with him. What more do you want to talk about?" Sky said.
"Things I wish your mom and I would have talked to you before, when she was still alive." Alex said.
"Like what?" Sky asked.
"When you were born, it was the most happiest day of your mom's life, I would know because I was there, the doctor thought I was the father, so I was with your mom the entire time." Alex said.
"Despite you and my dad both look a like, even if she has told me that I looked like him." Sky said.
"She always did say that, although you do have her attitude." Alex said.
"Yet everyone keeps on saying that." Sky said.
"When I went to go pick your mom and you from the hospital, your mom thanked me for taking her to the hospital, then you started crying all of a sudden, so your mom thought that I should hold you to calm you down and when I held you, you suddenly just stopped crying. I'll admit I never had held a baby before, though your mom said that I have the magic touch. Then the doctor came in, and your mom had to fill in your birth certificate, so I told her if I could also sign my name in it, she sort of let me, though she gave you her last name." Alex said.
"She did tell me that if my dad and her were married, I would have had his last name and would have been a family." Sky said.
"I have grown close to you since I held you, I started to feel like you were my own son." Alex said.
"I remember those times, I wanted you to be my dad, so my mom wouldn't be alone." Sky said.
"Believe me, it took her a while to realize if she had feelings for me again." Alex said.
"I guess I stopped being close to you since grandpa died. Though even if you saved him once from dying, how come you didn't save him this time?" Sky said.
"I didn't save him once. There was a second time I did save him." Alex said.
"When was that?" Sky asked when he suddenly started to remember when he was five he hid in a closet in his grandfather's room at the hospital covering his ears because of the loud beeping noises and saw someone walking in, standing in front of Mr. Collins bed. "The day when he was in the hospital when I wondered off by myself to find his room and hid in the closet...it was you. It was you who I saw in grandpa's room."
"It was. I didn't know you were hiding in the closet." Alex said.
"I didn't tell my mom or anyone about this because I didn't think no one would believe me." Sky said.
"That day when I saved your grandfather, I was going to leave and let everyone stay here, I felt like I didn't belong here, and everyone felt they were at home, even you would be sad if you didn't see your grandfather because I know how much you loved and care about him since your the only grandson of his only son, I felt like I would have been responsible for everything that has happened, so I decided not to leave thinking it wouldn't be fair for everyone else because I know they would want to go back home and would have blamed myself if anything bad happened to your grandfather, thankfully nothing did." Alex explained.
"This was when after you and my mom were mad at each other, I remember so many things were happening when grandpa was hospitalized." Sky said.
"Believe me, it was. I almost did want to save him again, but his heart wasn't strong enough this time." Alex said.
"Can't believe I'm saying this, thanks for telling me a few details about my parents." Sky said.
"The least I can do, if only your mom could see you now, she would be proud of you same with your dad of being the red ranger, following both in their footsteps on being a power ranger." Alex said.
"Though there is one thing you still need to tell me." Sky said.
"About where your power came from. Maybe some other time, it doesn't mean I'm avoiding your question, it's getting a little late." Alex said.
"Fine. If you say so, I'll keep on waiting for you to still tell me." Sky said.
"Still keeping my word." Alex said as they both started to walk in the house seeing everyone was in the living room.
"Everything okay, dad?" Andrea asked.
"Yeah. Everything is fine with your brother and I." Alex responded.
"Yeah. I agree here." Sky responded.
"I hope this means you're finally giving my dad a chance." Andrea said.
"I guess you can say that, I already understand a few things now." Sky said. "I better get going, it's getting a little late. Come on, RIC." RIC walked by Sky. "It was nice seeing you all again."
"Same with you and take care." Katie said.
"Don't find us, will find you." Lucas said.
"We're here for you no matter what." Trip said.
"Thanks. Bye, everyone." Sky said and was heading his way out along with RIC when both Eric and Taylor came downstairs.
"Hey, Sky." Eric said, and Sky turned around hearing his name. "I'm sorry if I can't explain this to you, I'm just not ready, but I will tell you."
"Sure. I'll try to stop by tomorrow. I got to go now. Bye." Sky said.
"Bye. Take care." Eric said, as Sky and RIC headed their way out the door.
"He has to know the truth either way." Taylor said.
"I know and understood that I'm the one who should tell him." Eric said.
"Come on. Let's go with the rest." Taylor said, going in the living room.
"Everything alright, Eric?" Alex asked.
"Yeah. I have to tell him either way." Eric answered.
"You know it was never your fault." Katie said.
"And none of us never blamed you." Lucas said.
"We're your friends, Eric. You can always count on us." Trip said.
"Thanks, everyone. I appreciate it." Eric said.
"Well, since we can't stay at our old hideout because you told us Sky and his friends are staying there." Katie said.
"We might as well crash here if that's okay with both of you?" Lucas said.
"It's only for the night and will go to a hotel." Trip said.
"Of course you guys can stay here for the night, and you can sleep here in the living room." Taylor said.
"You guys are not staying in a hotel, I know where you can all stay." Eric said.
"Thanks, Eric. We appreciate both of your help." Katie said.
"No problem. I'll go get some pillows and blankets." Taylor said.
"I'm gonna go see if there are some spare clothes, my kids don't wear." Eric said, then they both went upstairs, while Tyler, Megan, and Andrea were in their rooms and talking about earlier.
"Sure has been such a long time since we last saw them." Megan said.
"Yeah. It's hard to believe they're from the future." Tyler said.
"That explains why they haven't visited for so long." Andrea said.
"You know it was quite a story they told. Who knew your dad was a bit strict." Tyler said.
"Believe me. I'm more surprised to know that." Andrea said.
"Who knew your mom was once engaged to your dad way before you and Sky were born." Megan said.
"I can hardly believe it. My mom sure did made some sacrifices, so she can be with Sky's dad." Andrea said.
"To think if we hadn't found those pictures that mom and dad hid, Sky would have never know how his dad looked like." Tyler said.
"Though what I don't get is that why doesn't dad want to talk about what had happened to Sky's dad?" Megan said.
"Sky only knows it was some kind of accident, but doesn't know what kind, and your dad blamed himself for not saving him." Andrea said.
"You know, when Megan and I were little, our parents used to argue a lot, we didn't understand why." Tyler said.
"Sometimes dad was busy with work and didn't spend time with us, mom tried to convince him to take a day off, but he was so busy, and mom was always sad." Megan said.
"We were afraid that they were going to get a divorce, but then all of a sudden dad started to change, he was starting to spend time with us, and wasn't arguing with mom anymore, they were both happy now." Tyler said.
"Well, the good thing was that they both worked it out and still together." Andrea said when Eric was walking out of his room and was about to knock on Megan and Andrea's room, when he was hearing their conversation.
"Yeah. They both have been proud of us, but afraid of what I might tell dad." Tyler said.
"Let me guess, dropping out of college and joining the Silver Guardians." Megan said.
"You still want to join, even if your dad won't let you." Andrea said.
"I already gave college a shot for the last four years, and it's just not for me, its always joining the Silver Guardians, I just still don't get why he won't let me join or what's the reason." Tyler explained.
"Well, I'm sure whatever it is, he probably has a good explanation." Andrea said.
"That's what I told him, too. Give dad time, and he'll explain to you when he's ready." Megan said.
"I know, he's going to be so disappointed in me when I tell him, but he has to understand that I'm old enough to make my own decisions and decide on my own path in life." Tyler said when Eric felt after hearing Tyler's conversation and didn't know what to think and walked by the stairs seeing Taylor heading her way too.
"Hey. Everything okay?" Taylor asked.
"Yeah. I just got some clothes for them to wear, it should fit them." Eric responded.
"Good thing I found some sleeping bags just in case." Taylor said, both heading downstairs.
"Hey guys. Here are some pillows, blankets, and sleeping bags, try to make yourselves comfortable." Taylor said.
"Here are a few clothes some are mine, Taylor's, and my kids that we don't wear anymore." Eric said.
"Rest up and tomorrow will be another day." Taylor said.
"Good night everybody." Eric said.
"Good night." they all said, as Eric and Taylor both went upstairs to rest up for another day.
