Wes slowly opened his eyes, at first he had no idea as to what happened or where he was. Slowly his memory of what happened came back to him, looking around he saw he was in a hospital room. He could feel the bandage that was around his chest and shoulders from the hit he took.
"Hey big guy," said Lucas as he and the other rangers walked in. Wes turned his head and smiled, he slowly sat himself up.
"How you feeling?" asked Jen taking a seat next to him.
"Okay, just a little swore," said Wes, smiling. Everyone cowered around Wes seeing that he looked fine.
"Well, that's okay your dad has you on leave until you get better to come back into action," said Eric grinning.
"Great, he'll probably have me at a desk and board meetings all day," said Wes.
"Well it could be worse, you could be dead," said Lucas.
"LUCAS," they all yelled, after a few seconds the room seemed to get quite.
"Where's Alex," asked Wes seeing he was no where to be seen.
"Oh, he left to take Silvermite back. But he wanted to say he hopes you get better real soon," Trips then felt something in his pocket. "Oh, and he wanted you to have this back," said Trip giving Wes his morpher back.
"Thanks, who knows I might need this again. Seeing how some criminal always is traveling through time," said Wes. Everyone began to look at each other; Wes could sense the tension of something was wrong.
"Well, I better be heading out. I have a lot of work to do," Eric eyed Wes. "Ah Wes your dad will be here soon to get you and take you home," said Eric as he walked out not saying around word.
Wes looked at his friends knowing they were all hiding something from him. "There's something you guys aren't telling me isn't there?" asked Wes, the smiles they had on their faces began to hinder.
"Yeah, this will be our last time here, once we get back to our time Time Force will be destroying all information on time travel, it seems to cause to many problems," said Katie sadly. Wes smiled lightly at her this really was goodbye.
"Then I guess this is it," said Wes. Lucas was the first to say goodbye.
"You take care Wes, try to stay out of trouble," said Lucas giving his friend a goodbye.
"I'll try, you take care too Lucas," said Wes softly. Lucas backed away and it was Katie's turn.
Katie gave Wes a tight hug, Wes winced a little. "Sorry I forgot about your ribs," said Katie smiling. Wes smiled back.
"It's okay, they'll heal," said Wes knowing that was the only thing that would heal from all of this.
"Goodbye Wes," said Katie as she walked over to Lucas. Trip was next; he wasn't sure what to say to his friend.
"I guess this is goodbye, you're a really good friend Wes," said Trip.
"You too," said Wes and he and Trip exchanged a hug. Jen watched with sadness it would be her turn next. This time this goodbye would be the hardest of all, harder then the last two times. This time this goodbye was forever. Trip slowly back away over to his two friends.
Three rangers looked at Jen, their leader. "We'll meet you at the time ship Jen," said Lucas sadly knowing this would not be easy for her or for Wes. Trip, Katie and Lucas each took one last look before leaving Wes and Jen alone.
The room was silent for a moment as Wes and Jen looked each other in the eyes. "I'm..I'm.." Wes couldn't get the words out it was just too painful.
"Me too," said Jen knowing what he wanted to say. Tears were in both of their eyes, not being able to handle it anymore. Both of them threw their arms around each other in a loving hug. Both of them wanted to hold each other forever and never let go, but that could never be. After a few minutes they broke from the hug looking into each other eyes, seeing the tears fall.
"I love you," they both said at the same time. Jen looked at Wes sadly she knew if she didn't leave now she never be able to leave. She leaned in closer to Wes giving him one last kiss that last several seconds but felt like a life time. Slowly she broke from the kiss, no sooner than that she ran out the door. Wes put his head down; he got up and looked out the window looking down below. He saw her running away, not turning back then she was gone out of sight.
The ride in the limo was silent Wes leaned his head against the window. Mr. Collins, placed his hand on his sons shoulder letting him know he was there for him. "It will be okay son, who knows maybe they will need to come back again" he said kindly. Wes stared out the window; he hadn't said a lot sense his father came to pick him up.
"No," said Wes softly, knowing that his heart would never heal Jen was gone and he knew he would never se her again. Mr. Collins put his head down; it was going to be a while until Wes would be is old self again. Wes slowly turned his head looking at his father. "If you don't mind I kind of like to be alone," said Wes softly. Mr. Collins looked at his son kindly, he nodded his head.
"Driver please, pull over," he said. The driver pulled over, Wes looked at his dad one more time before getting out of the limo. Mr. Collins watched as his son walked off with his head down.
Everything was all set for the time ship to leave. "We all set?" asked Lucas looking at his friends, everyone turned looking at Jen. Sense she joined them she hadn't spoken a word. Jen looked up a Lucas she couldn't get the words out, she just nodded her head yes. Trip and Katie looked at each other sadly they all felt sorry for her. This just wasn't fair; if only she were born in this time they could be together. Lucas took a deep breath, it was time t go. Slowly he moved his finger to the start button.
"Wait, rangers there's one last thing you have to do," said Alex on the holo screen. Everyone turned looking at the screen, they could see the sadness in his eyes.
"What's wrong Alex?" asked Trip.
"What is it, that we have to do?" asked Katie, Alex took a deep breath.
"You three need to say goodbye to Jen," said Alex, everyone was startled what did this mean.
"What do you mean Alex?" asked Jen softly, Alex smiled lightly.
"What I mean Jen, is you can stay," said Alex.
"But," said Jen.
"Don't worry I'll take care of everything. The only thing you need to do is never make any contact with the future." Said Alex.
"I don't know what to say," said Jen.
"Say you'll stay," said Lucas with a smile.
"But what about you guys?" asked Jen looking at his friends.
"Hey will be fine," said Trip smiling.
"You belong here Jen, with Wes," said Katie smiling. Jen was smiling her wish was coming true.
"I'm really going to miss you guys, you're the best friends I ever had," said Jen getting up giving each of them a hug.
Jen then turned looking at Alex on the holo screen she could see how hard this was for him, her former love. "Alex, you'll never know how grateful I am for this," said Jen.
"You deserve this Jen both you and Wes should have this chance," said Alex. Jen looked at him, she felt like she couldn't move.
"It's alright I'll be fine, go to him," said Alex, Jen looked at Alex one last time before the holo screen closed.
Jen looked at her three friends one last time. "Get out of here, before one of us kick you out," said Lucas smiling.
"I love you guys, take care," said Jen running out of the ship. Her friends watched her leave out of their lives. Each of them took one last look at 2003 then the time ship lifted off into the time portal.
Wes was walking in the park alone; he walked over to the park bench. The same bench he and Jen fell asleep together in. He sat down seeing all of the happy couples walking together in the park hand in hand.
"Hey," said a voice, Wes almost didn't hear it. Slowly he turned around, he about jumped out of his seat.
"Jen!" he said surprised to see her. "But, how…" he was cut off by Jen kissing him it lasted a few seconds. They looked at each other in the eyes smiling.
"I can stay…forever," said Jen happily. Wes was smiling this was all they ever wanted was to be together.
"Forever, that sounds pretty good to me," said Wes.
"Me too," said Jen smiling. Wes took her hand in his looking her into the eyes.
"Let's go home," he said.
"Home, that sounds really nice," said Jen as the two walked home hand in hand together.
