Author's Notes: I didn't want to start a new story until the other one was finished but thanks to a marathon of Gokaiger while working on a commission and this idea was not leaving me alone so I just had to go ahead and start it. I warn you Kimberly is a bit quirky in this but there is a good reason why she picked up the quirkiness.

I have nearly finished the next chapter of Remember Me, I am just trying to cleanly wrap it up and figure out the ending chapters and an epilogue for it. The chapter should be up by some time today or by Tuesday at the latest. I think it will have about three to five more chapters to it.

This story is pretty much how I would bring Gokaiger story line to the States. I own absolutely nothing in this.

The last thing that the Reefside High School science teacher expected when he sat in his study grading Finals was the sound of something large crashing into his back yard. He didn't expect to see an unconscious battle damaged ranger clutching what appeared to be a small treasure chest to her chest collapsed on his front porch when he went to investigate. He didn't expect to be thrown back in the middle of the ranger business after his last stint of being a ranger two years previous. And he sure as hell did not expect to discover his first girlfriend that no one had heard hide nor hair about in the last ten years behind the cracked ranger helmet. All and all this night had gone from odd to downright strange for Dr. Tommy Oliver and considering his life up to that point that was really saying something.

Chapter One: Just When You Thought that Part of Your Life is Over

When Kimberly had finally woke up the first thing she discovered was that she was not on the Galleon that had been her home for the past six years of her life instead she was in what looked like someone's bedroom. When she realized that she was in an unfamiliar environment the first thing she did was pull her pistol from the proverbial black hole that all ranger weapons were stored and start fanatically looking for the chest that her team had died for to protect.

"The box is on the floor next to the dresser." A familiar voice informed her from the shadow of the doorway making sure that he made enough noise so she would not shoot him.

Kimberly honestly could not remember the last time she heard that voice but she would know it anywhere. "Tommy?" she asked in a shaky voice that she hardly recognized turning to where the voice came from and lowered her gun as he came into view.

"In the flesh." The former black dino ranger pushed himself from his perch in the door jam and began to walk over to the bed. "Hello Kim."

He had cut his hair and was sporting a pair of chunky black framed glasses but he was more handsome then she remembered. He still had that cute little smile that made her knees turn to jell-o and it didn't help that she was still feeling a bit lightheaded from the crash. Kimberly soon found herself blacking out for the second time that day.

"I guess some things never change." Tommy mumbled to himself as he sat on the corner of the bed before gentility brushing her hair away from her face. Taking a moment to really look at her since he felt it was best to not be too close. Who knew what she had been through before he found her and the last thing he needed was a well aimed punch to the groin when she came to or from the look of it being shot with no questions asked. She was still petite but that was to be expected, her hair had a warm reddish glow to it, her skin was paler then what he remembered which made him wonder when the last time she saw the sun was, and her face was even more breathtakingly sunning then what it was when the last time he had saw her. "Come on Beautiful, it's time to wake up." He gentility shook her shoulder.

Grabbing his hand tightly as she opened her eyes "Tommy?" she asked again, still not quite believing that she was here with him. Chuckling he informed her in a soft calming voice that he was sure that they had already covered that it was him. It took a few moments for her to do anything but stare at him before she asked in a croaky voice "How did I get here?"

"I found you on my front porch about an hour ago. As to how you got there you are gonna have to tell me." He informed the pink ranger. "All I know is I have a rather large boat steaming in my back yard."

"Power down." she clicked a button on her belt and her ranger suit was replaced by a rose pink long brocaded jacket, with a matching brocade rose pink vest, a loose white shirt that showed a daring amount of cleavage, tightly fitted brown pants that were tucked into knee high brown lace up boots, and random fingers littered with rings that had various sized gem stones that had to be worth a fortune.

"I was under attack from the Warz Empire's flag ship and Na'vi had plotted a course to a place where I could get help, I had no idea Na'vi had charted a course to you. When I crashed I had to abandon ship in case they boarded so I could hide the keys..." She paused to sort through her thoughts "It actually makes sense though you are the longest serving ranger on Earth. You would make the perfect replacement." She mumbled to herself but Tommy heard her all the same.

"What are you talking about? Replace who?" Tommy was clearly confused.

"Space Pirate Red Ranger of course." She said as it was the most obvious thing in the world. "I can't think of anyone who is better suited to be a better person for the job for being the leader of a ranger team." she scrambled off the bed to grab the chest from it's resting place.

"Hold on one second Kim," Tommy massaged his temple still a bit confused. "Can you start at the beginning; I'm a bit lost here."

Releasing a slightly put off huff Kimberly started to explain on how back on her seventeenth birthday she discovered that her parents weren't really her parents and she was the princess of a planet called Famille. She had been sent to Earth under the watchful eye of Zordon for her safety until she was to come of age at twenty three. She was informed that she had to return to her home planet to take her place as ruler in place of her now dead birth parents before a civil war could break out. When Zordon confirmed the story that she was actually royalty from another world she realized that it was her duty to return to her home world. She couldn't let a world go into a civil war because she didn't want to take the responsibility. Little did she know that when she got there that she had a fiancé that her parents had agreed to for a political alliance shortly after she was born. Hence the reason why she had Alpha teleport her breakup letter to the Youth Center saying what it did. She couldn't have Tommy or anyone else coming after her and she couldn't quite write down the truth in case someone intercepted the letter.

Six months later when she was allowed to return to Earth she planned tell him the truth but when she and Jason were kidnapped by Divatox and sacrificed to a volcano leaving her no time to explain to Tommy about the letter before her the royal guards had whisked her back to Famille for her own safety. Which totally pissed Kimberly off because she wasn't able to say goodbye to her friends or to the family that raised her.

Her time was spent with boring lessons of what was required to be a queen until her twenty third birthday when her wedding was scheduled. On the eve of her wedding the planet was attached by the Warz Empire destroying her world plus the neighboring planets as well. The bright side was she would not have to marry Duke Sissy Pants as she liked to call him. But the entire planet was now a baron waste land. She was lucky and was able to escape by an emergency teleportation unit that was set up that sent her to Pheatos where she found was also deserted. Apparently after they had left Pheatos, Dulcia disapeared as well.

After about a year from what she could figure of wondering the jungle planet the Space Pirate Rangers came across her and offered her a place on their crew to join in the search for the scattered Ranger Keys which possessed the power of every former ranger in the universe. Given the choice between living on another deserted planet and a ship with four somewhat good people was a no brainner for Kimberly. It had took a few years to finally discover all of the keys but no sooner then the last key was found; the ship was attacked and once again she was the last human that survived. Which left her and the robotic navigation system to be the protector of the keys and search for a new team to help her fight the Watz Empire.

"Let me get this straight." Tommy paused. "You're an alien princess."

Kimberly nodded. "Bingo."

"You broke up with me by letter because you were in forced into an arranged marriage." he counted off on his fingers. Not sure on how to take that one. A part of him sighed with relief because even though there was another person it was not because she fell in love with them. Tommy buried that thought for the time being until he knew more.

"In my defense I did try to call you every night for pretty close to a month before I was carted away to another planet. Plus I didn't write the letter until after I found out the arrangement with Duke Sissy Pants." Kimberly defended.

"Right..." he raised an eyebrow still not sure on what to say about that. "Your planet was destroyed by some evil empire."

"Watz Empire." she corrected.

"And now you've been running around on a pirate ship for the past few years?"

"Well you skipped some key points but you got the gist of it." Kimberly smiled.

"I hate to say this but this is allot to take in." he admitted.

"Take you time but here but I got to show you this. It is soo cool." she opened the chest setting free what looked like a robot parrot. "Oh my gosh! Na'vi I forgot that I put you in there."

"Not nice Princess Anhara, not nice at all." The robot bird squawked.

"Well I am sorry Na'vi it was either stick you in the box or let you try to take the brunt force of the crash. Personally, I would like to make sure that you were safe, then think about your comfort. But that's just me. And What did I tell you about calling me Princess Anhara? It's Kimberly or Kim I don't care what those stupid wanted posters say. I can't stand that name." the pirate glared at her robotic companion before turning her attention back to her former boyfriend. "Tommy this is Na'vi my ship's Navigation unit and my all around pain in the rear. Na'vi this is Tommy one of the longest serving rangers and all around good guy."

"So this is 'the Tommy'?" The bird teased.

"You shut your beak or next time we are under attack I am gonna let the Watz Empire goons have their way with you." Kimberly threatened before turning her attention back to Tommy she gestured to the contents of the chest. "Pick one. It doesn't matter the color, just pick one."

Not really understanding and wanting to know more about what Na'vi meant by 'the Tommy' comment Tommy pulled out one of the multi colored keys without really looking at it.

Looking at the key that she was handed Kimberly couldn't help but chuckle. "Jason and Rocky would have kittens if they saw this." taking the key to what looked like a cell phone and made the motions of unlocking a door. "Ranger Change, Mighty Morphing Tyrannosaurus!" then transforming into a female Mighty Morphing Red Ranger skirt and all. "Power Sword!" she called out. "Pretty cool, huh?" she struck poses similar to what Jason and Rocky used to do all those years ago in full morph.

"How?" was all Tommy could utter. His brain was having issues trying to wrap around the fact that Kimberly just morphed into the Red Mighty Morphing Power Ranger.

"The keys hold the power of the ranger that is shown on the key." Kimberly explained as she took off her helmet. "Go ahead pick another." she urged. Tommy pondered for a few moments before pulling out the key of the Black Dino Ranger. "Ooh, that is one of my favorites. Ranger Change, Dino Brachio!" in her place was the Black Dino Ranger. "Doc was the one who usually got to use the black and green powers but I always wanted to use this one. How cool is it to turn invisible?" she rambled on.

"Mister Doctor used to use the key to get out of cleaning duty and Captain Marvel used to make poor ol' Na'vi dust the ship. Na'vi does not like that key at all." the robot huffed.

"Try being stuck invisible for two weeks." ignoring what the bird said Tommy mumbled under his breath.

Kimberly pulled off her helmet so she could hear him better. "What did you say?"

"Nothing," Tommy quickly replied. "I must admit that that's pretty impressive." still trying to wrap his head round everything. "So you want me to be a ranger again?"

Kimberly nodded. "Na'vi don't you think he would be a perfect replacement for the Captain?"

Before the Navigational unit could reply Tommy asked "Why me?"

"You did lead three ranger teams and you did control five powers..." she started.

"Six." he corrected.

"Six?" Both Na'vi and Kimberly exclaimed in confusion.

"Dragonzord, White Tiger, Falcon, Red Zeo, and Red Turbo. That's five. I am pretty sure that's five." Kimberly counted on her fingers.

"Brachio for the Dino Thunder team makes six." Tommy corrected.

Pausing for a minute to look down and realizing what she was wearing "You mean I'm in your old uniform?" Kimberly pointed to herself.

"Actually, I don't believe my uniform ever had a skirt." he deadpanned.

Smacking him hard in the chest "That's not what I meant and you know it." she glared clearly not amused at his attempt of humor before changing her expression to her patented 'Sweet innocent little Kimberly' look. "All the better for you to join." she flashed her pleading doe brown eyes at her first and only love.

He knew that Kimberly knew that he could not say no to her when she flashed him the puppy dog eyes. Sighing he agreed to join but requested that they would figure out the rest after he got back from school tomorrow.

"You're in school right now, what are you taking?" Kimberly asked genuinely interested on what Tommy's been up to.

"Not taking, teaching." he corrected.

"Your a teacher?" she asked as she de-morphed from the black dino form. "Wow!"

"Paleontologist actually but I figured that teaching would be less stressful then dealing with interns whining about how the sun is too hot. Plus it allows me to stay in one place instead of moving place to place every few months" he explained.

"Oh staying in one place that does sound wonderful." Kimberly sighed dreamily besides the ship she really couldn't remember what it was like to be around the same people all the time, "Does that mean I have to call you Mister Oliver." she asked cheekily.

"Actually it's Doctor." Tommy replied.

"Doctor! How did Mr. Forgetful get a Doctorate?" the pink pirate's jaw dropped.

"Har, har I had enough with the others ragging on me I don't need it from you too." he crossed his arms clearly a bit annoyed that he got the same reaction with any of the original teams found out. Yes he had a bad habit of forgetting things but he truly did get better about that as he got older.

Stepping up to her former boyfriend and wrapping her arms around his waist. "You know I didn't mean it like that, Tiger. I'm sorry that it sounded like I was teasing you. I guess I've spent too many years with brash pirates and by myself." ignoring Na'vi's squawk of protest she paused to look up into his face to try to read his emotions. "You forgive me, right?"

Sighing savoring the feel of her in his arms he knew that Kimberly always did have a habit of taking things a bit too personally and from what he can tell all of that time of her surviving had intensified that trait with her. She wasn't the Kimberly who left to train with Couch Schmidt all of those years ago but considering that surviving the way that she has couldn't have been easy on her. She always did have a large enough heart for the universe. "Yes, Kim I forgive you." wrapping one arm around her showing no hard feelings.

"Thank you." she replayed in a small voice and released her hold on him. "Friends?" she asked holding out her hand for him to shake.

"Friends." taking her hand. "Now I think it's time for us to call its night. You can stay in this room I'll grab the couch in the den."

"You will do no such thing!" Kim erupted. "I did not come here just to kick you out of your bed. Na'vi and I can just go back to the Galleon. We need to see what needs to be repaired on it anyways since it doesn't look like the goon squad didn't follow us to the ground."

"Kim, I'm not gonna have you wonder the forest at night to to have a bed when I have one here especially when I found you as battle torn as you were. Just take the bed, honestly I don't mind." Tommy said ever being the perfect gentleman.

"It was just a couple of scratches and I am not gonna have you sleep on a couch in your own home." Kimberly stood her ground.

"And I'm not gonna take no for an answer." Tommy stood his.

"Fine," she huffed. "but on one condition." Kimberly smirked. "I'll take the bed only if you'll share it with me."

"I-I can't do that." Tommy stammered. His face was turning redder then his old Zeo uniform.

"Why not? I thought we were friends again. We used to sleep in the same bed before with no problems." Kimberly shrugged. "It's not like I can't trust you. I haven't seen another person in months now. Please?"

"But I..." he stammered remembering some of his more graphic fantasies he used to have when they used to cuddle in his bed.

"Come on Tommy even before we dated we were the best of friends. Can't two friends split a bed?" she gave him her innocent pouting face.

"Kim, you're playing dirty you know I can't say no when you give me that face." he sighed in defeat.

"I know that is why I use it, Handsome." her face lit up. "I promise I wont hog the covers like some robotic bird who has no reason to get cold."

"HEY!" Na'vi protested.
