Chapter 1 (The Tournament Party)
Angel Grove, May 7, 1996, Youth Center, Rangers Only
'I can't believe Jas and I were turned Evil. I almost killed Kat! Jas almost killed Tommy! I can't believe those two are dating. Stupid Greg! That asshole! Dumping me for that . . . that bimbo. He seemed so sweet! I lost everything to him, my love, my friends, my dreams . . .' Jason interrupts Kim's internal thoughts, "Hey, Little Terror, you okay?"
Kim looks up at him, "Yeah, just a bad couple of weeks, Rex." She weakly smiles at him, "I'm happy you guys won!"
Kim's and Tommy's old song comes on. Kim glances at Tommy; he is dancing with Kat like he used to dance with her. They are laughing, hugging, and stealing secret kisses. Jason looks at what Kim is so engross with. "Just talk to him."
"No, he is happy. I won't destroy that twice; I was a fool, Big Bro. I was lonely and Greg was a sweet-talker. I am not going to break his heart again. I'm happy that he is happy."
"You don't look too happy, especially when you were attacking Kat."
"Jason Lee Scott!" Kim screams, causing the others to look at them. "We were under a damn spell! I didn't mean to cause anyone to get hurt. You are one to talk! I wasn't the one who was fucking choking my best friend to death."
The others watch for Jason's reaction, knowing he said or did something to incur the 'Wraith of Kim'.
"You're right. I was! I know why I did it too. I admit! Okay, but you are little Miss Denial. You should have told us, but no. You go and do something stupid. Hurting everyone, Trini, Zack, Aisha, Tommy, Kat, Adam, Rocky, Billy, me, and you."
"What the fuck are you talking about I didn't hurt everyone?!"
"Right! You didn't tell Trini or 'Sha a damn thing! Did you know that Trini was worried sick when you didn't return her phone calls? Why the hell did you think I dragged you ass back home?"
"Oh, I don't know. I guess to get me kidnapped, nearly drowned, dropped into a volcano, turned Evil, and nearly killed my friends."
"Yeah, that makes perfect sense, 'cause I wanted you to try and kill our friends. Brilliant! And here all this time I thought Billy was the genius!"
"Sarcasm will get you nowhere, Jason!"
Rocky tries to stop the impending explosion, "Guys, maybe you should ju . . ."
"Shut up, Rocky!" Kim and Jason yell.
Rocky raises his hands and turns back to the others, "At least I tried."
"I give up. I'm done. Do whatever the hell you want! Go ahead and screw-up your life!"
"That's right! It is my life, Jas! I will do what I damn well please. You aren't my dad!"
"That's right; I never betrayed you. I never left you; I was always there for you! I watched out for you. You are my God-damn little sister! But I'm tired of this shit!"
"Never left! Ha! You went to fucking Switzerland!"
"I left you in good hands, well protected. I wrote and called!"
"You haven't been 'there for you' for the past year! You don't know a damn thing about me!" Kim screams, with tears running down her face, right before she runs out of the Youth Center.
Jason cusses and kicks a few chairs for a few minutes, before Tanya interrupts his conniption fit, "Shouldn't someone go after her?"
Jason looks at the others, "No, it is better if we let her cool down."
Tommy approaches Jason and puts a hand on his shoulder, "Bro, what the hell was that all about?"
Jason looks at the others, then into Tommy's eyes, "She leaving Florida."
"Why?" Kat asks.
"Dunno, she won't tell anyone why or where she is going."
"What about the Pan-Globes?" Adam quietly inquires.
"Dropped out" Jason plainly and calmly explains.
"What?!" Tommy yells. "That was her dream. Why the hell would she drop-out?"
"Dunno. She won't tell that was why I brought her here. I thought that if she was back with friends, she would open up. The past few months she has been strange; quiet, not talkative. I guess I was wrong about bringing her home."
Kat wraps an arm around Jason, "You tried, Jas. Kim is just stubborn. You never know she might have a good reason to what she is doing."
Jason sighs and slightly leans into Kat, "I don't know. It feels like something is off; I mean not talking to Tri' or 'Sha isn't like the Kim we know. Kim has always dreamt about competing on a national level; it isn't like her to just give that up and then to move without telling any one why or where. I just don't know what to do."
He collapses onto a nearby chair. Kat give Tommy a look that says 'go look for her, you know you want to'. Tommy shakes her off. Adam and Rocky notice the exchange. Tommy orders, "Adam, go find Kim and bring her back here."
"Okay, any idea where she might have gone?"
"The park," Tommy simply replies.
Adam searches the park, calling out for Kim
"Over here, Adam." Kim yells.
Adam finds her sitting with her knees drawn up to her chest, her arms crossed around them, and her head on her knees. He notices that she is sitting on the rock he usually witnesses Tommy practicing his katas on. "You okay?"
"Yeah," she response sullenly.
Adam squats down next to her; she turns her head to look at him, "Jas send you?"
"No, Tommy," he counters, looking out over the lake.
"Oh," she focuses on moon's reflection.
"Kim, want to talk about it? I have never seen you and Jason get such an immense and intense altercation." He worries, turning to judge her reaction.
"Promise on your coin that you won't tell a single soul." Kim demands, still looking out over the lake.
"I promise, please tell me."
"Greg, the guy from the letter, only dated me because of a bet. He and his friends wagered that he couldn't get into my pants. When I wouldn't sleep with him, he told me that he was sleeping with some blond bimbo. He told everyone else that I was a slut and that I slept with a bunch of his friends, but not him. I can't go back there and I can't stay here."
"I'm sorry, Kim, but why can't you stay here? We are your family." Adam assures.
Kim looks him in the eyes and answers him, "You know why not. I broke Tommy's heart for nothing. I can't just stick around and watch him and Kat together. I don't want to break them up; they are happy, but it hurts me to see them together. Adam, I'm not going back to the Youth Center with you. I've already booked my flight after the tournament. I leave in an hour. Don't tell anyone."
"But Kim . . ."
"No, Adam, I'll contact Jas, you, and the others after I have settled in."
"Kim, can I ask where you are going to go?"
"New York City. My dad is making up his lost years by paying for my schooling. Don't you dare tell Jason or Tommy." Kim says solemnly
"I won't, but I will miss you." Kim and Adam get up and hug each other. "Good-bye, Kim."
"Good-bye, Adam. Tanya is a great gal! Don't do anything to lose her." She warns before she walks away to the waiting taxi.
"I won't," Adam whispers to her back; he watches her taxi drive away. Then he slowly heads back to the Youth Center to inform the others, something he wasn't looking forward to.
"Well?" Jason badgers when Adam reenters the Youth Center.
"She's gone. I couldn't find her." Adam successfully lies to his close friends.
"Nothing?" a distraught Tommy implores. Kat observes his shaken expression; the same one that he wore when he saw Kim in the viewing screen.
"Nothing, Tommy." Adam fabricates, feeling a ping in his heart at Tommy's terror-stricken face.
