Disclaimer: This is going to be a story of ficlets. Each chapter will be a new one. Some of them won't have anything to do with each other, but some of them will be related. They WILL all be Power Rangers, however. Since I am a firm believer in the original five, there will be no Rangers that existed after Power Rangers Zeo. Zeo is only included because it had two originals, Billy and Jason. TOMMY IS NOT AN ORIGINAL RANGER. GET OVER IT. HE IS A FREAKIN' ADDITION THEY NEVER SHOULD HAVE HAD. OK. That's off my chest. Please enjoy the stories within! The first fic in this series of ficlets is about Jimberly and Tommy.

He'll Never Be

By Julia

Jason Scott watched his girlfriend's eyes follow the new guy's karate moves. He didn't like the look she was giving him. It made him worry. They'd been together for five years. He didn't want to lose her. And it was a possibility, she'd never looked at another guy like that before. He followed her gaze to the new guy. He was a little taller than he himself was, and he had longer wavy brown hair. He didn't have a better body than Jason himself had, however.

Zack watched his best friend's gaze and nudged him with his shoulder. ''Kim's noticing the new guy, huh?'' He asked, with concern. Something was going to have to be done about that.

Jason could feel his heart pounding with worry. ''Yeah. It's nothing, right?'' He asked. His brown eyes did not hold their usual sparkle. He could feel himself starting to feel sick.

Zack nodded, but worry had crept over his features, too. ''Of course, Jason. She's loved you since she was twelve.'' He hoped that they were right. Jason would fall apart if he lost Kimberly.

After the karate match, Jason and Kimberly stood outside the showers. Jason gave her a kiss. ''So, you want to go with the gang, or do you want to go out just us?''

She gave him a kiss. He could sense her hesitation to be alone with him. Was it because of Tommy? That was the new guy's name. ''Um, why don't we go with the guys? The new guy's going to be there.''

Jason thought it would be better to bring it all out into the open. ''Kim, we've been dating for five years. You owe me the truth. I love you. I've totally treated you like a princess. Are you starting to crush on this guy?''

Kimberly looked like she didn't know what to say. ''Jason, I love you. You've been the best boyfriend a a girl could ever have for five years. I don't want anything to change.'' Her eyes were bright under her pink cowboy hat.

Jason could sense a but coming. ''But? Kim, no one is going to love you like I do. No one is going to take care of you like I will.'' He could feel his heart pounding, and he was getting panicky. This was now how he'd imagined this conversation.

Kimberly was full out crying now. ''Jason, please. I know all of this. I told you. I don't want anything to change. I just, I can't help thinking he's cute. I don't want him to come between us.''

''Kimmie, he already has! We've never had to have a conversation like this before. You love me, you've been with me for five years. This is the only guy that's ever been able to pierce the exterior of this relationship!'' Jason's voice had risen a little. People had begun to stare. They'd never really fought before.

They were joined by Tommy. ''What's going on, guys? Everything OK? Everybody's ready to go get some pizza.''

Jason turned to Tommy. ''No one asked you to join us. I'm having a private conversation with my girl. Can you understand that concept? That she's not yours?''

Tommy was shocked. He didn't know where this was coming from. He glanced at Kimberly and instantly regretted it. Jason's body met his and slammed him up against the wall of lockers. He couldn't move under Jason's vise like grip.

Kimberly stepped in, grabbing Jason's arm. ''Jason, please! It's not worth it! I want to be with you. Just let him go.''

Jason kept Tommy put up against the locker, but turned to look at Kimberly. She had tears streaming down her face. ''Are you really upset about me hurting him? Or are you upset that we might break up?''

Kimberly wiped her eyes and sniffled. She was starting to really wish that Tommy Oliver had never come to Angel Grove. ''Jason, you'd regret it if you beat him up. Come on, let's go talk about this, OK?''

Jason couldn't help but give in. He let go of Tommy and said, ''You stay away from us. We don't need you around.''

Jason slipped his arn around his girlfriend and they walked off down the hall. They went to the Youth Center. They got a table by themselves in the back. He pulled his chair closer to Kim's. ''Kim, please. Tell me that we don't have to worry about Tommy.''

Kimberly took Jason's hands in her own. ''Jase, I love you. I never wanted to break up with you. I just thought he was cute. I know I've never strayed before, and I never will again. I love you. I have for a very long time.''

Jason couldn't help but smile. ''I'm so glad to hear you say that. I couldn't live without you as my girl. I don't ever want to be anyone else in the world.''

Tommy watched them from the doorway. He was glad that they were kissing, he had no desire to get slammed against anything else. He sighed as Kimberly joined Jason on his chair. He thought Kimberly was the most beautiful girl he'd ever seen. It was too bad that she'd found Jason first. He'd heard that they'd been together for five years. He'd never had a chance.

Zack Taylor came up behind him and followed his his gaze to his best friend and his girlfriend. ''Yeah, she's in love with Jason. You're just going to have to move on. If you cause trouble for them you can deal with me.''

He left Tommy with that thought and went to join his best friends. Tommy sighed. There went his chance to still be in her life as her friend. He took one more glance at them. They were talking and laughing with Zack. They all looked very happy together. Even though he really liked Kimberly, he was almost glad that he hadn't been able to break them up. They'd looked so natural together.

Author's note: Yeah, even when I tried to do T/K it turned out Jimberly. Oh well. Just proves what a Jimberly shipper I am. Just let me know what you thought.
