Summary: It's good to have friends.


Trent had once been told that life was a journey and not a destination. He was fortunate to share it with friends.

Ranger teammates were close friends because they needed to be close friends. Needed to understand each other, be close to each other. Even if he wasn't as close as the Conner, Ethan, and Kira were to each other, he still got along with all of them. He and Dr. O were kind of outsiders, but being on the same Ranger team gave him a bond that he wasn't willing to give up.

As he stood ready for graduation, his classmates around him, he was glad for the journey. If he hadn't stepped into the portal, hadn't encountered his morpher, he wouldn't have become the person he had become. And his father would never have started to understand him.

Now he had friends that he would know forever. Teammates that would make sure he was all right. A father who at least could live with Trent going to art school. One step down the path of adulthood. One step on the road of his life.

Getting ready to move into the auditorium, Trent smiled.
