The Prologue

The story you are about to read takes place about five to six years after the series finale of Power Rangers Dinothunder. This is a brief summary of events that happened after the two part episode "Passing the Torch" (from Power Rangers Turbo) and before the two part episode "Thunder Struck" (from Power Rangers Dinothunder) this synopsis should get you caught up to the beginning place of our story.
A few days after passing down their powers to new rangers T.J., Cassie, Ashley, and Carlos our former rangers each began their new life as normal a young adult. Adam began to really get into his love of soccer and began playing professionally for the Angel Grove Titans and Tanya left for Los Angeles for a job as a disc jockey at the highly respected radio station 104.3 KBIG while all the time continuing her dream to get an album released.
Tommy and Kat didn't leap into new careers right away though, Tommy kept amateur racing at the race tracks and teaching karate' classes while Kat kept her position as a teacher's assistant at a local elementary school. Then one day, Kat decided it was time to move on to a long term career path and began going to college majoring in environmental affairs on the path to becoming an environmental attorney. Tommy also began taking college classes with Kat, but wasn't sure of his major yet and just stuck with the basics, his attention was more focused on what was happening now with his racing instead of the future as Kat's attention was.
Shortly after almost completing 2 years of classes, Kat was offered an unbelievable position for employment as an assistant to an environmental attorney in Washington D.C. but that would involve her transferring to a college there to complete her education while she received training during employment. They discussed it together, long and hard; they both agreed it was too good of an opportunity to pass up and for Kat to take the offer, which she did, but Tommy couldn't bring himself to leave California and his racing or teaching karate' just yet and decided to stay in Angel Grove. After a tearful good-bye at the airport Tommy and Kat kept a good effort with their long distance relationship, nightly calls and visits on holidays. After hearing about Kat's adventures in her career Tommy was inspired to pick a career path as well and began to major in paleontology and the sciences. He also began the hobby of archeology in his spare time and located three dino gems, with the help of a fellow classmate and close friend, Haley; they began to harness the power of these gems. Shortly after graduating with his paleontology degree, Tommy met up with a man by the name of Anton Mercer and the two began studies and experiments during a joint dinosaur project. During this timeframe in their lives Tommy and Kat were extremely busy and they both decided to take a time out in their relationship. Kat was promoted to a full time position as an environmental attorney and was transferred out of Washington to Florida at the same time the Dinothunder storyline began to unfold. Tommy moved to Reefside and began his teaching career at the local high school and ended up enlisting students; Conner, Ethan, and Kira as the newest Power Rangers. Due to the series of events, Tommy and Kat unfortunately lost contact with each other completely.
After the final battle as seen in "Thunder Struck", a few days later Tommy received an invitation to his high school reunion and he decided he would go in hopes of seeing his former rangers and especially his long lost love, Kat. All excited about the idea of seeing Kat again, Tommy went out and got a new suit, a dozen roses, and gussied himself up the best he could to make a great impression for Kat again. Once at the reunion, Tommy ran into quite a few old friends. Former Zeo Rangers; Rocky, Adam, and Tanya as well as Billy, he also ran into former red and gold ranger, Jason who was now happily married to Kimberly, together they showed off their new baby boy, Jarred.
Tommy also caught up on friends who couldn't make it to the reunion, he found out the great news about Zack and Angela finally getting married and having two kids, they now lived in Philadelphia where Zack owned his own business, but Tommy also found out some very upsetting news as well, such as the death of the original Yellow Ranger, Trini, at the result of a terrible auto accident. But overall the reunion was great and everyone seemed so happy, except for Tommy since Katherine was no where to be found.
After a few hours, Tommy got tired of seeing all the happy couples hugging and holding hands, so he went to a table outside on the patio. He set the roses down on the table, loosened his tie, threw himself into a chair and began to drink his mixed drink. Tommy began mumbling a few things under his breath just before he sat his drink down, leaded over, and sulked, while he propped his head up with his arms when he heard her voice. "Is this seat free or do you want to be alone, Tommy?" He looked up and there she was, Kat her once long golden locks cut into a short, trendy haircut but still as beautiful if not more than ever. Tommy immediately stood up, grabbed her, spun her around, and they locked into the most passionate kiss this world as ever seen.

Afterward, they both sat down at the table, secluded on the patio under looking the stars and Tommy gave Kat the roses and promised to never ever let her out of his life again. Blushing with excitement Kat explained to Tommy about being transferred to Florida and that she tried to contact him, but it was impossible to locate him. He apologized and offered to move back to Orlando with her, but Kat stunned him with the best news Tommy had heard in years. Katherine explained that a position had opened up in Angel Grove and she had taken the position and had actually already moved back about two days ago and while she was unpacking her apartment, she found the invitation to the reunion in a stack of forwarded mail and after getting dressed and calling a taxi, she had almost missed the event, this was why she was so late.
They left the reunion together, only after making their rounds at the party as a couple and went on a romantic walk through Angel Grove Park and embracing in another kiss; afterwards Tommy gave Kat a ride home to her apartment in his Jeep and set another date with her the next day and the next and so on. They enjoyed each others company every single night for the next three weeks, then on the anniversary of when Tommy first asked Kat out on their official first date (from Power Rangers Zeo, episode: Hawaii Zeo) he took Kat to a very upscale restaurant and proposed to her and of course she accepted. They were married shortly afterwards with Jason as the Best Man and Tanya and Kimberly as Bridesmaids. Tommy whisked Kat away on a cruise to the Bahamas for their honeymoon and after returning home they moved in together in a brand new house in a beautiful sub-division in Angel Grove. Tommy began teaching college classes in paleontology and archaeology at a the University of Angel Grove while Kat began cutting back on her hours at the Environmental Office so she could spend a bit more time at home, enjoying being a happily married wife. After a year as a happily married couple they gave birth to their first child, a baby boy named Timothy, but as adopted the nickname of "Timmy" much like his dad's name Tommy. Kat had quit her job as at the Environmental Office due to impending motherhood and now feeling the need to be productive again began teaching ballet and dance classes again, but now has her own studio on Main Street in downtown Angel Grove. Everything was going perfect for the couple, till that Friday afternoon when their normal lives and the world changed forever.
