Blame it on fate, blame it on bad omens, blame it on the fact that neither of these four ever admitted their true love. The evil that came from Murianthius supposedly was crushed along with Divatox when the rangers destroyed all there that was evil. That, however, was not true. Jason and Kimberly, no matter how unaffected they seemed, lived with the daily reminders of what they had done and who they had done this to. That was something that he wished to capitalize on, that was something that would make him win this battle.
It was the fall of 2003 and all seemed to be well in the sleepy town of Shiland, North Carolina. Trini Kwan had recently begun working with a firm in the state capitol not far from there. She had never thought that this would be the life that she choose, not after years of 'service'. What kind of service? Well that was something she never really liked to think about, because it brought back far too many memories of things that she had done wrong, concerning one man in her life.
That man was Jason Lee Scott, her friend since elementary school and her true heart's desire. She knew that she would never have a chance with him and although they talked about once a week, she still held herself back from him, afraid to get too close and to be hurt when he decided to get married, which she figured would happen soon enough anyway. She, however, did not know of the events as of late and when she found out about them, it would almost be too late. He would almost be too far gone to be saved.
Ring…ring…ring…RING.
"Hello?" Trini asked as she looked over at her clock and let out an unhappy grumble. Who the hell would be calling her at two o'clock in the morning?
"Trini, this is Tommy," Tommy Oliver said, feeling that he needed to introduce himself. It had been a long time since he had talked to her, but what he was talking about was something that he knew she cared about. He knew that she would want to do something if she could to help him out here.
"Why are you calling me right now?" Trini asked as Tommy let out a very long sigh. He did not want to do this to her, he wanted to just try to take care of this on his own, but he couldn't. He was going to desperately need her help in order to make all of this work.
"Trini, there's a problem…" Tommy trailed off as Trini sat up and finally turned on the light.
"What kind of problem Tommy?" Trini asked as Tommy let out another sigh. This was something he had hoped he would never have to say again, but it was happening and it was so much like before. He just hoped that they were not lost, because he was having a hard time just trying to get one of them back.
"A Jason Kimberly problem," Tommy said as Trini was suddenly wide awake. "Trini, they've been turned evil and we've been fighting against them for the past month, but nothing is working. I need some help out here."
"Why do you think that I will be of any help? Kimberly will not come back for me, we both know that," Trini said as Tommy just shook his head.
"She is not the one that I want you to attempt to bring back. I need you to bring Jason back to us," Tommy said as Trini shook her head. She could not do this, no matter how much he wanted her to attempt it. It would hurt far too much to go there.
"He won't come back for me Tommy, we're only friends and you know good and damn well it takes much more than friendship to bring them back," Trini said as Tommy just shook his head.
"I think the unrequited love is what caused all of this mess. Tri…I'm begging you, can you just come and see what I'm talking about. If you still think you can't help, I won't make you do anything," Tommy said as Trini looked over at the calendar, knowing that the next day was Friday and that she could easily call in sick, the only problem was she didn't want to. She didn't know if she could face Jason like this.
"I don't know…" Trini trailed off as Tommy shook his head.
"I have tried everything in my power to get them back, but Kim is not coming back without Jason. Trini, I think that you are the only one that can reach him," Tommy said as Trini let out a sigh.
"How am I going to get there?" Trini asked as Tommy looked around the Command Center to see what Billy's response would be to that.
"I can always teleport her, Tommy," Billy said as Tommy nodded and then turned to the telephone, he doubted that she was going to really love that answer.
"We'll teleport you if you want," Tommy said as Trini barely nodded.
"Let me gather together some things and then I'll call you when I'm ready," Trini said as Tommy nodded.
"All right, Trini," Tommy said as he hung up and he looked over at Billy.
"She has no idea how bad this is going to be, Tommy," Billy said as Tommy just shook his own head.
"I tried as best as I could to explain it to her, but she doesn't want to deal with the truth. I know how much she cares for Jase, now we just have to hope that somewhere down inside of him, he cares for her just as much," Tommy said as Billy nodded. They both knew that this was going to be their last resort, if this did not work they would lose the two of them forever.
