"Where are you?" I whispered. I look up at the brilliant night sky. I have to wonder. Is he safe? Could he be hurt? It had been so long since I heard from him. I wish I knew where the Phantom Ranger was.

I have every right to be worried about him, he is after all, my brother. I never would have thought that he would become a Power Ranger too. Of course, he had been a Ranger before me. And now, after only having heard from him once in the past months, I worry. I know what kind of life a Power Ranger leads. And he's all alone out there. He certainly has it much worse than me, I mean, at least I have my friends.

I know that everyone is worried about me. It certainly isn't difficult to see why. I look like hell. I've barely eaten or slept in the past few days. But I can't help it, I've got too much on my mind. I'm sure that they all think that I'm worried about the Phantom Ranger, romantically that is. I still haven't told them the truth.

Why not? It's not that I don't trust them; but secrets, when told, have a bad way of reaching the ears of your worst enemies. And frankly, I don't want half of the Alliance of Evil after Robbie just to get to me. I don't want to feel like the weak link in the chain. So, our connection stays a secret.

T.J.

Yes, I followed her. Who wouldn't, with the Psycho Rangers running loose? Alright, so probably only I would follow Cassie at this time of night. The others would think me crazy to do this. But I love her, what else can I do?

I cringe as I hear her whisper, "Where are you?" I know who it's meant for, the Phantom Ranger. Why Cassie? Why must you be in love with someone who's causing you so much pain? I watch as she looks at the sky. She must be wondering if he's alright.

I could kill him right now, well alright, I could really hurt him. He doesn't deserve Cassie. She has put her heart out for him, and he hasn't bothered contacting her in months. But perhaps I ought to give him the benefit of the doubt. Maybe he can't communicate, I don't know. All I know is that Cassie deserves someone really special. But, as much as I would like that person to be me, I know that it will never be. She doesn't love me. And so I watch.

Cassie, you invade my dreams, my thoughts, my very soul. You stole my heart from the moment we met. I wish I could be there for you.

Old memories begin to run though my mind. A rotten childhood; absent parents; a terrific older brother; running away; coming to Angel Grove; becoming a Turbo Ranger; becoming a Space Ranger; meeting all my friends; meeting T.J. What would my life had been like if I hadn't followed him that day?

Should I tell them? I don't know. I suppose it would save me a lot of grief. I know that my friends would never tell. But what if word somehow got out? Would I be putting my brother in more danger than he's already in? I would never be able to live with myself if I did. No, Robbie's safety is more important than my happiness.

T.J.

I see her get up and walk around. Occasionally, she looks up into the sky. Searching. Searching for him. It hurts me to watch, yet I can't take my eyes away. One last look, before I set her free. I know that she can only be happy with him.

I'll keep her safe for you Phantom. You'll have someone to come back to. Her happiness means everything to me.

Cassie

I wish I knew where he was. I wish I knew that he was safe. Most of all, I wish that there was something that I could do for him right now. But tonight, I can do no more than pray. Please, let Robbie come home safe. He's my brother, and I love him.

The End
