I'm posting this as a test run, just to see if anyone is interested in reading the rest of it, when it's written. Tell me how you like it and feel free to submit any suggestions that I can work into it.
Disclaimer – not mine. All the seasons of Power Rangers belong to their prospective companies and rich people. Sigh.
Thanks

Rain
Introduction
Wes' Point of View
Rain,
There's something peaceful about the rain
It's never the same
One minute a mist, the next, a downpour
Always changing how it feels
Like Jen
Maybe that's why I fell in love with her
What I want to figure out is when I did
I think that it was the time when she took Ransik on alone
I actually 'saw' her
I saw how loyal she was
How much she cherished her memories
But I can't tell her how much I care for her
I can't interfere with her destiny
I can't get in the way of her and Alex
Even if I did tell her, why would she waste her time on me?
But I still wonder what her reaction would be
Would it be a gentle uncaring rain shower?
Or an irritated thunderstorm?
I have got to stop thinking like this
It'll drive me crazy
I can't sleep anymore because I keep thinking of her,
Imagining when she and the others have to go home.
But lately the dream has been different,
I'm having nightmares
I keep seeing a giant storm swirling in the sky
And the entire town is being burnt to the ground
The rangers are dead
The future is lost
And I'm watching, powerless on the ground
Now could you sleep if you kept on seeing your friends die?
Over and over you watch the scene play
It's the same thing each time
Deep down you know you could have stopped it
But you also know that it is somehow your fault?
I can't figure it out
How could I be the end of the rangers?
That's what's killing me, because I can't believe it.
They're my best friends.
I try to hide how this is effecting me, but I can't
I'm always so tired; it's like I'm permanently zoned out
I heard the others talking earlier
I knew that they'd clue in, eventually
I mean I live with these people
I fight for peoples lives with them
I know that Lucas has noticed how I've been acting
Even if he doesn't say anything
And Katie of course,
But what about Trip?
Who knows what goes on in that alien head of his anyway?
What about Jen?
No, why would she notice?
Why would she care for that matter?
She's got Alex back in the 30th century
Why would she bother with a guy like me?
Compared to Alex I'm nothing
He's the perfect ranger from the future
A future that I have no part in
A future that I have no right to interfere
I'm just history, literally
Rain, rain, go away,
Come again,
Another day…
