A/N- So i don't have to pick up cans on the street, please refer to the disclaimer below.
I do not own Power Rangers, they are their respective owners property, and I am using them without their permission. I am not making any money off of this. The only thing I expect from this is a revival of the Power Rangers Time Force Show.

8:45 P.M.
Wes tossed and turned in his bed, he was having another dream. Wes was dreaming about the last time he saw Jen. Their last conversation played in his head over and over again, even haunting him in his sleep. But there was something distinctly different about his dream. Wes was standing on the beach holding Jen's hands and staring into her eyes filled with tears. "I wish I could live for another thousand years so we could be together again." These were Wes's last words to Jen, but as she turned to walk away, Alex came out of the time ship and walked up to Wes and said, "You can't change your destiny Wes." Then Alex grabbed Wes's hand and rips his morpher off of his wrist. "Your just a rich boy Wes, deemed to take over your fathers company, why do you have to try and change that?" Wes then looked into Jen's eyes and saw no trace of emotion in her beautiful chocolate brown eyes. Jen looked between Wes and Alex, finally settling on Wes's now sad expression. 'Wes I never really did love you, I love Alex, your just a dead guy from the past in my time." Wes's heart broke when she said these words. "So why would I ever love you?" Wes fell to his knees, as Alex put his ring back onto Jen's finger. Jen and Alex turned and walked into their time ship and disappeared into the future.
This had been the dream haunting Wes for over the past two weeks. He had stopped going outside, and hadn't taken up his role as the co-leader of the Silver Guardians. He had just sat in his old room in his fathers mansion, thinking about how much he missed seeing Trip, Katie, Lucas, and the woman of his dreams…. Jen. Wes couldn't understand why Jen was haunting him so; they had proclaimed their love for each other right before she left the second time. It made no sense to Wes. If she didn't love him why did she come back to save him?
Wes found himself becoming a literal mess, he couldn't sleep at night, and he couldn't function in the day. "Why couldn't she have just stayed?" Wes looked around his room in despair. "Instead she left me in the vacuum that was my heart." Wes was sitting there in his room lost in though when he hear a knock on his door. Wes couldn't help but get annoyed, his father had sent some people over to try and help Wes get back on his feet. "For the last time, Go Away!" The door opened and Eric walked in. "Hey Wes." Eric was in his usual Silver Guardians uniform, and had made it a regular occurrence to stop by and check on Wes. "Oh it's just you again." Wes said. Eric looked a little hurt and responded to Wes's statement. "Just me again oh I figure you had hundreds of people that came up to see you every day Wes, of course it's me, I wanted to see how you are." Eric looked over Wes, and to be quite honest with himself, Wes looked a little worse for wear.
"Wes, I wish she had stayed just as much as you but…" Eric never got the chance to finish the sentence as he was cut off by Wes. "Look Eric, I really don't want to hear the speech over the odds of me seeing her again." Eric snickered in Wes's direction, and looked him in the eye. "Wes your starting to act like you learned nothing while you were with the rangers; your not the only one who has known loss Wes." Eric's words took Wes by surprise, and he immediately stopped trying to interrupt Eric, and listened to what he had to say. "Wes, you know as well as me that Jen would not want this for you, she wouldn't want you to be stuck up in a room trying to remember better times, she would want you outside making a difference like you were doing." Wes sat down on the edge of his bed and looked at his hands like they were the most special thing in the world. "Wes just because she's gone, doesn't meant that she's gone from you." Wes had to think about what Eric meant by that. Just because she was gone, doesn't mean she's gone from me. Wes finally understood what Eric had been saying to him for the past two weeks. Jen would only be gone from Wes when he stopped fighting for what she fought for, Wes looked at Eric, and mumbled a word of thanks for explaining. "Look Wes, I just want you to get out of this room and back into the real world." Eric looked down into Wes's hand, and noticed that he was holding the badge Jen had given him on the day she had left, "Wes I can promise you that she cared about you, or she wouldn't have left that for you." Wes looked at Eric and responded by saying, "You know I told her that we make our own destiny, but I guess in the grand scheme of things, my destiny's already set in stone in their time." Eric looked at Wes, and saw just a shell of the man he once knew, all of the love and innocence now gone from his eyes. Eric hated seeing Wes like this, because at the end of the day Eric did care about Wes, and he knew Jen would kick his ass for letting Wes act this way just because she had left. Eric turned to leave, and looked back at Wes, and said " Please Wes just keep it in mind, I'll see you tomorrow." With that Eric left Wes back into his tangled thoughts.
A/N… This is my first chapter of my first story that I have ever written. I know the start is slow, but I plan for it to pick up pace soon. Yes i will also note that this chapter is very short. Hopefully I plan for this story to be at the very least around 25,000 words, but right now I can't make any promises. Please be kind, and leave some constructive criticism. This show has not ended, it's just beginning. Also keep in mind for this story to work the team up with Wild Force will have never of happened. Because quite frankly the team up with Wild Force basically left the Time Force story too open ended for me.
