The Terran Ranger/The Spectrum Force - The Preliminaries Volume 2 by Heather Ray (most difficult books to read txt) 📖

long are those talks supposed to be?" asked Rocky.

"I heard it should take over a year," said Adam. "That's why they'd prefer to send juniors. That way they'll finish up their high school education during the talks."

"Wow," said Alexis, "a year and a half!" Suddenly, her eyes widened, and she turned to Adam. "What would happen if the Power Rangers were chosen to go? Each of the others fit that description to a T!"

"I'm sure Zordon had prepared for that possibility," said Adam reassuringly, "but maybe we should ask him next time we see him."

Rocky parked the car and the four teenagers piled out. Rocky looked at his watch.

"We have just over ten minutes until the homeroom bell," he announced. "So let's hustle!"

The four teens ran into the building and went their separate ways. Alexis made her way to her locker and started working on her combination. She searched for her copy of Romeo and Juliet when she felt a hand on her shoulder. She turned around to see Tommy's smiling face. However Alexis, being very perceptive, noticed that the smile looked forced.

"Hey, Lex. How're you feeling?" he asked politely, purposely not looking directly at her.

"Drained, but otherwise I'm okay," answered Alexis dryly, returning to her search. He's worried about me,

she thought. He doesn't think I'll be able to pull through this!

"Look, uh, I know what it's like to have your powers weaken. It happened to me several times," said Tommy, staring at his feet uncomfortably, "I just want you to know that, well, the six of us are here for you, and we understand what you're going through."

"Tommy, you're talking as if someone just died! You really need to stop worrying so much about me. Look, Alpha and Billy said this power loss is temporary, so I'll be back in my shimmering spandex before you know it! So in the meantime, make sure to whip those baddies without depending on me to save your hide!!"

Tommy couldn't help but smile at Alexis' brash comment. Wow, she really has spirit. I wish I could have had that kinda faith when I was losing my Green Ranger powers. Still, there's something she's not telling me. She's hiding something...

Alexis finally found her book and slammed her locker shut. She turned around and smiled up at Tommy.

"Catch you later," she called, rushing to homeroom. Tommy made his way up the stairs, where the other five Power Rangers waited for him.

"So, how is she?" asked Jason.

"She's taking this power loss much better than I did," said Tommy with a sigh, "but I know she's not being totally open with us. She's holding back--I can see it in her eyes."

"What can we do?" asked Kimberly, her voice filled with sympathy.

"We can't do anything," said Tommy quietly. "Trust me, I know. She's got to sort this out for herself. We can't impose. Besides, she probably feels uncomfortable around us. When I lost my powers, I avoided you guys like the plague. I guess I just didn't feel like I belonged anymore. I wasn't a member of the team anymore."

"You should know better than that, Tommy!" said Trini, surprised. "We're bonded by friendship, not power!"

"That's easy for you to say, Trini," said Tommy. "After all, the five of you were all best friends way before the Power Rangers existed. Now Alexis and I became friends with you after we had received the power, as if this circle of friends was mutually exclusive. It seems to us like a Power Coin was the only thing that brought us into this little club."

"Well, if that's how Alexis thinks, then we have to change her mind!" said Kimberly authoritatively. "Let's say we all have a picnic in the park after school?"

"Great idea!" said Zack, starting to get excited. "We can just sit out in the sun and chill!"

"Perhaps we can invite Aisha, Adam, and Rocky," added Billy.

"Good idea," said Jason. "They're nice people, and expert martial artists. I'd like to get to know them better."

"So its agreed then?" asked Kimberly. "By the lake at about five? That should give us enough time to get things ready."

"Affirmative," said Billy.

"Awesome!" said Zack.

"Sounds great!" said Trini.

"Absolutely," said Jason.

"Why not?" said Tommy with a smile. "So, who's gonna coordinate this little party?"

"Did you have to ask?" asked Kimberly with a superior smile, "I'll call each of you and tell you what you need to bring."

Just then, the first bell rang.

"Uh oh, we're late," said Jason, starting up the stairs, "We'll talk at lunch!"

With that, the six friends hurried to their homerooms.
