It was a rather busy lunch. T.J. took his tray to the table where his teammates were, amazed that they hadn't been carried away by a mob of admiring classmates or something while he was getting his food.

"How are you guys doing?" he asked.

"Well, I wasn't mobbed *too* badly," Ashley said, grimacing. "I wish someone hadn't blabbed to Ms. Marial during current events that I was a Ranger. She thinks it would be 'wonderful' if I talked to the class about what it was like to be in this situation."

"I think we're going to all get assigned things like that," Cassie said, after digesting a piece of her sandwich. "I got pretty much the same thing from Ms. Applebee."

"I got somewhat the same assignment from Mr. Lee," Carlos added.

"I guess that's all of us," T.J. said. "I got one of those too. But I guess I was expecting that. Nobody's known who the Rangers were before to ask how we felt being Rangers. It's natural to be curious. I'd be doing the same thing if I wasn't a Ranger."

"It depends on *how much* we're asked about it, I guess," Ashley said. "I think I don't mind if I get asked to talk briefly about it, but I don't want to spend the rest of my life talking about it."

Cassie tossed Ashley a look, but T.J. knew the meaning of it: Ashley wanted to spend time with Andros. But T.J. agred with her spoken sentiment that they didn't want to spend the rest of their lives talking about something that was, ultimately, just a small part of their lives. An important part of their lives, but still only a small part.

"The excitement *will* die out," T.J. told his team, knowing that they would look up to him even though he wasn't their leader and they weren't really Rangers anymore. Some things never ended.

"I hope so," Carlos said, and Cassie and Ashley nodded in agreement. "I hope so."
