Dedication



How can I say this enough? Thank you to everyone that has kept up with all my books! You all are awesome! When I started adapting my fanfiction to these books, I was just doing it in order to introduce the Power Rangers to a new generation and to also help reluctant young readers to find a new love for reading. But I have found out that with each new book there is resounding success! Thank you all so much!





Author's Note



The song "Nobody Knows"

is from the Tony Rich Project. It's a great song, if by some odd chance you've never heard it before. This fic is based on events that happen outside of Ranger continuity (although, considering Tanya and Adam left the program assumedly before they began college, this certainly could have happened)

. The story opens right before the Christmas Break of the four retired Turbo Rangers' freshman year of college. Oh yeah, and the Power Rangers belong to Saban Brands!





Prologue



In the slightly cramped single room apartment that represented the typical freshman dorms of the Purdue University campus in Indiana, Adam Park sat at his large desk, his chin propped on his left hand and his right hand absently clicking on the mouse of his computer. His dark, weary eyes continued to pan along the seemingly endless jargon that composed his final paper on the subject of gender conflict in Shakespearean drama.

"I swear, if I ever take a Renaissance literature course again, it'll be too soon!" Adam moaned to himself, leaning back in his chair in order to free his left hand. He shook off the numbness that set in due to the weight of his head resting upon it for so long, and reached over to grasp his coffee mug. After taking a long sip of the powerful caffeinated brew in order to sharpen his cloudy awareness, Adam took another deep breath, and let his dark eyes rest once again on the bright computer screen.

"Pullin' another all-nighter, Adam?" came an amused voice from the door. Adam didn't bother to turn around, but slumped his shoulders in response.

"I have no choice, Leif," he answered, his voice tainted with exhaustion, "This paper is half my grade, and it's due at eight o'clock tomorrow morning!"

Leif grinned. "Well, at least when you're done, you'll finally be finished for the semester. Everyone always says first semester freshman year is the hardest. It'll get easier as time goes by."

Adam scowled slightly, clearly not buying his roommate's well-intentioned comments. "We'll see."

Leif glanced over Adam's shoulder, and scanned the document shown on the screen. "It looks like you're just about done, Adam. But still, you should've finished this ages ago! Has something been distracting you? After all, your other final exams were done three days ago! There's no excuse for this."

Adam shrugged. "I just... couldn't keep my mind on the assignment."

Leif sat his hand on Adam's shoulder, a serious expression crossing his face. "Hey, Man, tell me you weren't mooning over Tanya again."

An amused grin crossed Adam's tired features. "Please, Leif! I'm not that

pathetic! We've been through for almost a month now. Besides, I have more important things to occupy my time with."

Leif shrugged his shoulders, stepping away from Adam towards his own bed. "If you say so. Anyway, I'd better get going."

Adam looked away from the computer, and turned around in his swivel chair to look at his roommate. "Where are you going at two in the morning?"

"Well, the only reason why I stayed this late is because of that big frat party tonight," Leif explained, haphazardly throwing a handful of belongings into his duffel bag, "I was done with exams yesterday."

"What's the rush?" Adam inquired, "Why on Earth would you want to drive at this time of night?"

"My house is only about an hour from here, and I like driving at night more. The roads are less crowded, so I can zip along at my own pace."

Adam chuckled slightly. "Well, don't kill yourself."

"I won't," Leif said with a grin, zipping up the bag, "So, did you decide what you were doing this break?"

"I told you, I'm going to Chicago with Andrew and Jimmy tomorrow afternoon."

Leif shook his head. "The Chicago trip is only for five days. What are you gonna do after? Winter Break is five weeks."

Adam shrugged. "I... I guess I could hang around here..."

Leif frowned slightly. "Are you telling me you won't go home and see all your friends and family, just because of what Tanya did to you?"

Adam rose from his chair, his eyes narrow with impatience. "Tanya didn't do anything

to me that I didn't deserve!"

Leif met eyes with Adam and easily perceived his friend's anger. "I knew it."

"Knew what?"

"You're still hung up on her. Don't bother denying it, either... if you weren't, you wouldn't have blown up at me just now."

Adam blinked, and brushed the comment aside, sitting back at his computer. "No, I'm not," he defended, "I'm just tired and stressed out about this paper. That's all."

Leif sighed. "Adam, listen to me. I'm your friend, and I'm worried about you. I understand that you and Tanya had something special, but it's over now. Don't keep dwelling on it. It'll only make you crazy."

With that, Leif hefted his bag, and waved at his roommate. "Have a good break, Adam. I hope you're in better spirits next term."

Adam watched as his friend walked out the door, closing it gently behind him. Adam waited for a few moments, making sure Leif was gone. Then, he pulled open the top drawer of his desk, and lifted a gold frame. A smile instantly spread on his weary face as he gazed at the photograph.

Standing on stage, with the colored lights bathing her in surreal blanket of energy, Tanya Sloan stood, grasping her microphone as if her entire being depended on it. Her full, red lips were puckered slightly, gently breathing out the concluding note to the song she performed as an encore that night, "Endless Love."

She had looked so amazingly radiant that night, with her dark curls piled on her head and held fast by an antique gold and pearl clasp. Her full-length cream yellow gown hugged her curves quite flatteringly, allowing her enough freedom to dance to the tunes she sang, while accentuating her elegant stature. And the glow in her eyes showed the passion she felt, as if the song she sang mirrored her true feelings.

As if she were singing the song directly to Adam.



Chapter One



Wish I'd told her how I felt,
Then maybe she'd be here right now, but instead...



Adam remembered so clearly that wonderful night in May, when he and Tanya attended the Senior Prom together. She was so stunningly beautiful in that pale yellow gown, she absolutely radiated grace and refinement. She glided along the floor with every step she took, and took Adam's breath away with a glance. It took all of Adam's willpower to keep his knees from going weak when they danced.

That evening, while the lead singer of the live band took a short break, the audience began begging Tanya to sing just one song. Apparently, everyone remembered Tanya's magnificent, soulful voice, that rang in people's hearts with the strength of a church bell, yet caressed people's ears with the delicacy of a song bird. After a while, Tanya conceded to sing one song. The song she chose to sing was a solo version of Diana Ross and Lionel Richie's classic ballad "Endless Love."

Adam was swept away by the song. It felt so wonderful to have such a magnificent angel as his girlfriend. That was only one moment of pure admiration, forever captured on film. There were many, many others.

Tanya was so incredibly captivating to Adam. She had stolen his heart almost from the moment they met. They had suffered through trial after trial as Power Rangers, fighting side by side against all forms of evil. They were meant to be.

With so much bonding them... with all the love they shared... how could Adam let her slip through his fingers?
