Here's a new story I came up with after much thought. Got a new computer so I'm still in the process of recovering all my old files...Hello, Seattle, Get On My Level and Bring Me To Life will all be updated soon, I promise. Enjoy the new story. Rated M for what I have in store later on. Post Dino Thunder, everything up to that is canon till now.

I don't own the Power Rangers. Saban does. Yeyyyy.

Tommy Oliver stood out on the balcony of his room, watching the sun begin to set over the horizon. Orange in it's appearance, he diligently watched it as it slowly sank beneath the ocean, the dark of night rapidly arriving. Sensing the presence behind him, he slightly turned to adknowledge the person as she made her way to his side.

"Hear anything new?"

His head turned back to the ocean, where the last of the sun's rays faded and the landscape was now covered in darkness. Shaking his head, all he could do was incoherently mutter 'no' under his breath, hanging his head low as he now stared at his hands.

"What about Andros and Ashley? Where are they?"

"They just got back. They didn't find anything either."

The small, brown haired girl to his right frowned and focused her attention from that of Tommy's hunched over body to the skies, where the stars began to dot them. A sad smile crossed her lips as she thought back to a time when things weren't so...hectic. So much had changed in her life over the course of the past two years, she was surprised that her head hadn't spun off because of all of it.

"Was it really only four months ago that we arrived here looking to have the time of our lives?"

"Yeah...and look what happened to that", Tommy murmured, pointing to his glowing belt buckle.

"I just can't believe that it happened again...I didn't think I'd ever get a second chance at this", the girl almost whispered to herself as she glanced momentarily at the helmet placed on the table nearby that belonged to her.

"I thought I was done with it after my gem was drained...I'm never gonna escape it, am I?"

The brunette laughed lightly, playfully punching Tommy on the shoulder as she leaned into him. He gently placed his arm around her shoulders, pulling her into his side and sighing contentedly, while the door behind them clicked shut, announcing the presences of the two other people with them.

"We're not interrupting anything, are we?", the girl in yellow asked softly, removing her helmet and placing it on a desk. The man in red standing near her did the same, wrapping his arm around her waist.

"Nah, we were just talking about how crazy the past four months have been. Come on over", Tommy said as he motioned for them to join him on the balcony. Once they had arrived, Tommy faced the two of the with a look of seriousness in his eyes, one that had rarely left in the past four months.

"So you guys found nothing out there?"

"No...nothing that could help us gain any contact with our friends or get us outta here", the man in red said as he shared the same distraught look with Tommy. "God, I'd kill to have access to the Megaship right now."

"How're you two holding up?", the girl in yellow asked as she stole a quick glance at the sky, looking at the stars overhead. When she got no immediate response, she grinned for a second before saying, "Yeah, I thought so too."

"I just wish it'd all end", Tommy muttered to nobody in particular. "I don't know how you two keep doing it."

"Dedication", the man in red said with the faintest hint of a smirk playing on his lips. "And, well, it also helps having Ash around to kick some ass with me", he murmured, slipping his arm around her waist and placing a soft kiss on her cheek, getting a giggle out of her.

"Oh shush, Andros. We both know how much of a workaholic you are...I'm just here for moral support", she said, returning the favor and kissing his cheek as well. Tommy looked at the two of them and merely smiled, shaking his head before looking over his shoulder at the petite brunette behind him. She had her back to the rest of them, the wind gently blowing through her chocolate colored tresses. Walking up behind her, he wrapped an arm around her waist and pulled her into his side again.

"What'cha thinking about?", he whispered into her hear, causing a smile to creep up on her lips.

"What the future holds for the two of us...", she said softly, her eyes never leaving the stars. "I mean...what happens if we get through this?"

"When", Tommy stated, a small hint of ferocity in his voice. "When we get through this."

"Right...but still...look at Andros and Ashley...they spent a year and a half apart, on separate planets no less!", she exclaimed, wiggling out of Tommy's grasp. "We couldn't even spend six months apart on different coasts..."

A sad smile appeared on Tommy's lips as he took her hand in his. He didn't really like bringing up what brought them apart, but right now was just one of those times that it had to be mentioned, he silently reasoned.

"Look...what happened back then is in the past. We've both grown up and changed a whole lot since our high school days. We aren't who we once were, no matter how hard we try to be sometimes. We should cherish the second chance at love that life gave us...", he said slowly as he took her hand in his own. A small grin tugged at her lips as she ran her thumb over his knuckles. She pleadingly looked up into his eyes, searching for something that she wasn't sure she was gonna find. He noticed the look on her face and leaned down to place a gentle, chaste kiss to her lips, seemingly putting her at ease.

"I know...", she started slowly. "Don't think for a second that I don't appreciate the second chance we've both been given...but...I just...look at two people like Andros and Ashley, and see how madly and deepy in love they are with each other...and, I don't know...a large part of me just really hopes we can make this work again."

He didn't respond for a couple of seconds. Then, all Tommy did was smile as he wrapped his arms around her tiny frame and pull her close, her head resting against his chest as she let out a content sigh. "I could stay like this for the rest of the night", she whispered to him. But no sooner than the words came out of her mouth did she hear Andros and Ashley yell at them to duck for cover.

A loud bang was heard and for a few moments, everything was fuzzy and disoriented. She vaguely heard screams and explosions in the distance. When her vision returned to her, she saw Tommy, his back to her, fending off the foot soldiers of this new evil force as he stood guard over her while she regained her equilibrium. In the distance, she saw Andros and Ashley fighting in rythym with each other. Shaking her head as she stood up and went into her fighting stance, a singular thought quickly swam through her thoughts as she blocked a kick and delivered one of her own. "Well...here we go again."

For Kimberly Ann Hart, everything was finally starting to come full circle.

And that's it. Sorry it's a little short, but I'm just getting started with it. Lates.
