Summary: Justin is the reason Kat stays.
It's strange. Out of all the rangers I've worked with, I like Jusin best. Perhaps because, to Justin, I'm not an interloper on the pink power. I'm not some pale pink copy of Kim, like I was for Tommy, Adam, Rocky, and Aisha. i'm just me. Of course, Tanya never knew Kim either. Still, somehow Tanya and I have never really connected. She's staying at my house but she's not really a part of my life. We hang out together and fight together but we're not fast friends the way Adam and Rocky are or the way Tommy and Jason are. Tanya is far to independent to chain herself to someone like that.
I think it's because, in a way, Justin and I have become family. Justin doesn't really have anyone else. His father lives far away and he doesn't always fit in at the shelter. There have been times when he's slept on my couch rather than go back there. He needs an older sister...and perhaps I need an younger brother. I'm an only child, I've never really felt the need to be anything but. Oh, we only childs get thoughts every once in a while of what it would be like to have sibling but, for the most part, we're fine. Yet somehow Justin and I just fit together. He fills a part of my life I hadn't realized needed filling. It's like we've always known each other. He gives me a purpose beyond just that of being a ranger. I realize, as time goes on, that's the only reason I'm still here. If I wasn't a power ranger, I'd go back to Australia. I'd leave it all behind, even my relationship with Tommy.
But Justin gives me another reason to stay. As long as he needs me, I'll be around if I can. He's family to someone who has never needed much family before. So it's strange. But it's a good strange.
