Inside the Oliver residence, Kat snuggles next to Tommy on the couch. The couple had officially begun dating three months ago and both were happy with the relationship. Kat felt as though their relationship was in jeopardy since finding out the real reason behind the letter Kim had written to Tommy. Kim had been evil when she had written the letter and thought that if she came back and explained her reasoning for writing the letter than Tommy and her might work it out and become a couple again. Tommy told Kim he was with Kat now.
Kat glazes at Tommy from out the corner of her eye. Would he regret his decision to be with me instead of Kim? Kat rests her head on Tommy's shoulder. "What would you do if you had the mask from this movie," Kat asks.
"For starters, I would throw a huge party and show our friends all the tricks that came with the mask." Tommy uses his free hand and adjusts his ponytail. "Then I would put the mask on Denver and let him have his fun with his little dog friends."
"Oh, that sounds like something you would do," Kat raises her head. "So what are you guys doing on Saturday night?"
Tommy pretends to think for a second. "Rob some banks then go eat a McDonald's."
"Uh that does not sound like something a power ranger would do," Kat began fidgeting a hole in her jeans. "I think you guys could lose your pow…"
Tommy cuts Kat off. "I was only joking silly girl."
"Oh… of course," Kat stops fidgeting with the hole in her jeans and turns to look at Tommy. "Tanya and I were going to the mall but I guess we could ask Kim if she wants to tag-a-long."
Tommy eyes his girlfriend. "She might like that; we all know the mall is one of Kim's favorite places or it was." Tommy shrugs his shoulders. "Your guess is as good as mine on what she likes now; we have not talked since I told her I wanted you."
"I know Tommy; it's just that she was evil during that time and what if you decide that since she was not in her right mind to give her another chance." Kat chews on her fingernail.
"Kat we have talked about this; Kim and I are over and I am with you now." Tommy sighs. He is tired of having the same discussion with Kat over Kim. "It was not fair that she was made evil and had to overcome that by herself but she broke up with me nevertheless and we got together, so she has to deal with that and move on."
"I understand that…I just have a feeling," Kat continues to bite on her fingernails.
"Maybe that feeling is gas," Tommy jokes.
Kat cheeks turn a bright red. "Tommy Oliver, you promised to never bring that up again."
"Ha, I said in public I would not bring it up," Tommy laughs remembering Kat passing gas when she had eaten a bean burrito on their third date.
"Okay, I concede; no more talk about Kim and you," Kat tells Tommy. I will only discuss my feelings with Tanya from now on.
Tommy pulls Kat close. "Good now let's finish watching this movie in peace."
In another part of Angel Grove, Kim is sitting at the beach looking at the wave's crash against each other. How could Tommy not want me back; she thinks for the millionth time. She began thinking back to the conversation the two of them had the last weekend.
"Kim, you wanted to talk to me," Tommy asks her curiously.
"Yeah, I do," Kim sits on the couch in the hotel room and studies Tommy.
Tommy nods his head and takes a seat in a chair facing the couch. "I am listening."
Kim tries not to flinch at the fact that Tommy did not sit by her. "In Florida, there was this untapped power that no one knew was there. Remember we were sent to find it but we could not locate the power and decided that it was hidden so well that if we could not find it than evil could not either." Kim watches Tommy to wait for his response.
"I remember we searched for weeks and could not find it," Tommy answers. "What does the power have to do with anything?"
Kim clears her throat. "I found that power Tommy."
Tommy eyes Kim curiously. "Why did you not tell anyone that you found it?"
"I… did not have the mind to." Kim runs a hand through her hair, which had grown, down her back. "We did not learn all about the power Tommy."
"Obvious we did not since we could never find it and have Billy study it." Tommy tells her with an annoyance in his voice. "Look, if all you want to talk about is how you found a power than I have to go because Kat and I are going to hang out soon."
Kim flinched visibly at the mention of Kat and Tommy being together. "We had no idea that if we discovered the power on a full moon and harvest it that we would be made evil."
Tommy stares at Kim with eyes as huge as saucers. "What are you getting at Kim?"
"I did not mean to harvest the power; in fact I intended to call you the next morning to tell you I had found it." Kim shakes her head causing her hair to cascade down her back.
"Why didn't you than Kim?" Tommy says with more annoyance in his voice. "When did you supposedly stumbled across the power?"
Kim feels upset that Tommy is bombarding her with questions and not in such a nice way. "I discovered it a week before we broke up."
"Oh, don't you mean when you dumped me for another guy," Tommy tells Kim with edginess in his voice. "It takes two people to come to the conclusion of breaking up not one person deciding that she or he wants someone else and breaking their heart through a letter," he tells her bitterly.
Kim runs a hand through her hair. "I did not mean to break your heart at all Tommy." Kim bites her bottom lip. "I only wanted to put the power in a safe place until the power rangers could take it and decide what to do with it."
"Again Kim than why did you not do that," Tommy tells her with his patience wearing thin.
Kim gives Tommy a glare. "If you we let me finish than I will tell you why."
"Go right ahead Kim; I will remain quiet for now but know that you have less than five minutes before I have to go and meet my girlfriend." Tommy puts the emphasis on the word girlfriend.
Kim licks her lips. "As soon as I touched the power it begins to course through my body and I had no way of stopping it." "I just wanted to bring it back to my townhouse and call you guys in the morning but the power had other plans" Kim twirls a lock of hair on her finger. "It was a full moon and as soon as the power completely absorbed itself into my veins, I turned evil."
Tommy thinks for a second before he answers. "That is how you assume the power could not be harvested on a full moon."
Kim nods her head yes. "I wanted to call you and tell you about it but I knew you and the rest of the gang were asleep and I knew that I had to hide it from evil before they discovered it." Kim stops twirling her hair with her finger. "I had no idea what would happen. When I was evil I went to evil hot spots; I felt where the evil was and I wanted to be a part of it." "So when I went to the Machine Empire's evil lair and learned that good was winning I decided to help give them a leg up and what was the best way but to hurt their leader."
Tommy can only stare at Kim with his mouth agape.
"I wrote that letter while I was evil Tommy," Kim looks into Tommy's eyes. "I was one evil being; I was destroying everything in my path and I knew to not leave any trace of my presence around because I did not want the power rangers trying to stop me."
Tommy finally closes his mouth. "You were evil when you broke up with me," Tommy asks the question quietly.
"Yes, Tommy I was evil and I had no control over what I did or how I felt." Kim stands up. "The turning point for me was when I put babies' life in danger and I snapped out of it and saved the babies in time before they were eaten." Kim begins to pace around the hotel room. "I felt so ashamed of the things I had done that I closed myself off from everyone and almost everything." "I knew that I still had to help my team win and competed in the games, so after I did that I tried to fix all the wrong that I had done." Kim moves hair out of her face, and is tempted to find a rubber band to pull it into a ponytail with. "Jason called and told me about building the homes I could not resist helping; I am trying to redeem myself for all the evil that I have done."
Tommy stands up and walks over to Kim. "Is the power destroyed or were you able to store it somewhere?" Tommy asks.
"I tried to make it leave me but the power seems to have fused itself into me and is not going anyway." Kim raises her head and looks at Tommy. "I trained day and night to make sure the power is pressed on good but, when I feel a certain why it's the power want to switch back to evil and I have the urge to perform bad acts. It's like it is merged into my soul and it battles between good and evil all the time; I think I will have this power for the rest of my life and I hope to have you to help me stay on the right path."
"Of course, Kim, I will help you; what are friends for," Tommy tells Kim.
Kim eyes become misty. "That is not what I meant Tommy." Kim reaches and touches Tommy's cheek. "I love you and I know that if you are by my side than I will never be consumed to use the power for evil again."
Tommy removes Kim's hand from his cheek. "I am with Kat now Kim."
This time Kim cannot stop the tears forming in her eyes to fall down her face. "I know that but I did not want to break up with you to begin with and when Jason told me about you two it took all the strength I had not to become evil and eliminate her. Tommy, we belong together and I am sure once Kat knows the truth than she will step aside and let us be together." Kim places her palm over Tommy's heart. "I feel your heart beating fast; letting me know that you want me as well." Kim can feel Tommy's heart beating faster and faster.
"Learning all this makes me feel bad for you Kim; it really does but I am with Kat now." Tommy removes Kim's hand from his heart. "Kat is a special girl and I could not imagine hurting her."
Kim feels rejected by Tommy removing her hand from him twice. "I am not saying that she is not a nice girl but denying your feelings for me to spare her is not right."
"I am sorry that happened to you Kim but I want to see where my relationship with Kat can go." Tommy runs a frustrated hand through his hair. "I closed the chapter on us when I realized that the world did not stop because we were not together and Kat helped me see that."
Kim tries to reach for Tommy but he moves out of her reach. "I was not in control of my actions and not having you with me makes my heart ache." "Hearing you deny us makes my heart feel like you have ripped my heart out of my chest and is stomping on it into a million pieces."
"I bet soon you will meet someone and not even think about me," Tommy tries to look Kim in the eyes. "I know better than anyone about being evil and turning good but when we are evil we have to deal with the consequences of our actions. Soon, Kim you will find redemption for what you have done and I hope you find someone special to love."
Kim looks into Tommy's eyes. "I really want to hurt you right now but a small part of me wants to hold you in my arms. Tommy, if I had not been good at being bad then you would have known that I was evil and your heart would not have closed on me. Is that it? Is your ego bruised that I was the ultimate evil?"
"No Kim that is not it," Tommy shakes his head. "I just cannot turn off my feelings for Kat."
Kim stops crying. "Oh, but you have no problem shutting off those feelings for me."
"No, it's just that those feelings are buried and I have come to terms with them," Tommy starts walking for the door. "I really am sorry Kim for everything."
"If you were than you would consider us being together," Kim pleads.
Tommy response was to open the hotel door and walk out. "I cannot do that." He gives Kim a quick glance before he walks down the hall to the elevator.
Kim shakes the bad memory out of her head. She grips the edge of the bottle she was holding too tight and it smashes into the sand. He has to doubt what he said to me. Than why is he not with you Kim, a little voice inside her head tells her. Maybe you should eliminate the enemy, after all she is the one who swooped down on him barely five minutes before you two broke up which was not your fault to begin with. Kim ponders the question for a minute. No, I cannot do that. Do not be such a wimp; take the girl out. "No," Kim screams and holds her head between her hands. I need to get out of here. She stands up and walks to her rental car. I need to be around people. These voices inside my head become louder when I am alone.
Back at the Oliver house, Kat kisses Tommy good night.
"I will call Kim and invite her along." Kat inhales Tommy scent.
Tommy nods his head. "That should be an adventure; girls gone wild with shopping."
Kat laughs, "Tommy, never lose that sense of humor of yours."
"I won't, bye," Tommy releases Kat.
"Bye," Kat tells him as she walks down the front steps of Tommy's house.
Kim peers at the couple from a distance. See, Kim she wants to be your friend. Kim nods her head. Well a friend would not break girl code and date a friend's ex. Kim looks at her reflection in the mirror and sees eyes looking back at her that she does not recognize. What is it going to be Kim huh? Let the twit get away with what she has done or murder her and claim what is rightfully yours. Kim looks as Tommy watches Kat get into her car. Just shut up.
