I am so glad the games ended when I found out what my true purpose for life was. Thinking back on everything, I always thought that being a power ranger would be my greatest accomplishment but now I think being both a power ranger and a vampire slayer are. Kim thinks as she sits on the plane ride to Reefside.
She was moving to Reefside due to the new hell mouth that had recently opened up and she was happy because it gave her the chance to be with her friends who all decided to move there to settle down. Looking out the window she thinks oh boy how I going to explain not only who I am but what I have been doing for the past few years.
Kim steps off the plane and heads towards baggage claim where her suitcases are and where she plan to meet up with her friends. As she picks up her luggage she is tapped on the shoulder and turns to see one of her best friends Aisha standing behind her.
Kim drops the bag and says "hey girly I missed you so much" before giving her friend a big hug.
Aisha tells her "I have missed you as well."
Kim hugs her other friends that came, who are Jason, Trini, Zack, Billy, and Adam.
Jason tells her "that the others are waiting back at Tommy's house to see her."
She nods and they grab her luggage before heading to Tommy's house.
On the drive there her friends ask her about the games but they really wanted to ask her why after the games did she not return home to Angel Grove.
"The games went well as we all know since I won the gold medal in every event I was in and since I was already there I decided to stay and finish my senior year in high school there" says Kim who has become a custom to lying a little since the power rangers. "But when my aunt asked me to stay with them I moved in with them."
"Oh" Adam states, "we really missed you and hoped that you would have visited more."
"I would have but my schedule my senior year was hectic and I begin to train for the next Olympics but decided against it, so I moved to Sunnydale where my aunt, uncle, and cousin live." Since I did not want to live in Paris, it is a good place to visit every now and then but not to live especially considering how I only know a little French." "And now here I am with all of you."
"I am just glad you are back," Trini tells her.
"Me too" said Jason who was driving the van and sitting next to his wife Trini.
"Kimmy how about we have a dance off when we get to Tommy's house?" Zack asks.
"Oh Zack, I will win because back in Sunnydale we had a place to hang out at called the Bronze where we would have dance offs and party."
Zack tells her "you are on."
"Kim how was the weather down there?" I am thinking about taking my wife Bethany there for our anniversary next month." Billy asked.
"Oh it is just like Angel Grove always sunny." Funny thing is Sunnydale was the same, funny how I keep moving to places where the sun always shines." Kim thinks too bad for the hell mouth and me having to break up with Tommy.
The conversation went from everyone talking about the different places they had been to the women discussing fashion and shopping which made the men laugh and the four talked about something else.
When they arrive at the house Kim says "the house is nice and Tommy has a garden really." "I must have rubbed off on him some."
Jason laughs and told her "he was thankfully for the conversations you two had about plants and flowers." Jason thinks too bad you had to break up with him.
As the group gets out of the van, the others who had remained behind run up and hug Kim.
"Kim love the outfit and it's so good to see you," Kat tells her.
"Thanks Kat, you know how I roll and the women laugh."
"Kim this is my husband Dan." "Dan this is our gold medalist winner Kim."
"Nice to meet you Dan," said Kim.
"Same to you Kim and may I ask for your autograph," he asks with a shy smile.
"Of course Dan, it is a little weird giving them out but hey I was in the games."
Rocky tells Kim "I would have come along for the ride but I was hungry and you know how I must eat or else."
She nods and says "I completely understand and thanks for not coming." "Man you would have been talking about food the whole ride there."
Everyone laughs and shakes their heads.
Tanya asks Kim "did she see the new Versace dress and shoes?"
"Duh Tanya I only brought the goodies in pink, black, white, green, red, and purple."
That made the gang laugh again.
"Hey Kim, what's new?" Asked Tommy.
"Nothing much just adjusting to being in a new town." She thinks although a hell mouth is a hell mouth and that is something I wished was not here.
Before they head inside Kim is introduced to Alice; Rocky's girlfriend, Tony; Tanya's husband, and she had already met Heather; Zack's wife and Bethany.
Inside the house Kim is thinking it's like high school only people are married, we are not power rangers, and I am not with Tommy. She is enjoying talking with her friends and eating the tasty food when her cell phone rings. Kim sighs and answers it is her watch Giles telling her she needs to come see him at his house immediately.
She knows what that means and tells her friends "she is sorry but she has to go look over plans for her florist shop because the architect wants to start now." Kim thinks damn couldn't those damn demons wait even one full day.
"But Kim you just got here" says Aisha.
"I know but he is the best and I need his help, so see you all tomorrow."
Jason offers to drive Kim but she tells him that him that the person who is helping her with the shop is picking her up.
Kim texts Giles Tommy's address and waits to hear more protest.
"We still have plenty of food left," states Rocky.
"Plus we have yet to have our dance off," Zack tells her.
"Guys I know but there is nothing I can do about it."
Trini says "maybe we can tag along."
Kim shakes her head no and tells them "I want to have this done before I let you guys in."
Billy asks Kim "will you come to the Shore tomorrow?" The Shore is Reefside's other hang out besides Hayley's Cyber cafe.
"I will try and make it but with the unpacking and all I am unsure." What she really wanted to say was that she was unsure of how long it would take to vanquish the demon.
Tommy looks at Kim with a look and Kim senses he knows she is lying and waits for him to call her out on it. But he just tells her "hopefully you can come."
Kim nods and says goodbye as Giles calls to tell her that he is outside. Giles had left Buffy, Kim's cousin in Sunnydale to help her with the new hell mouth seeing as how Buffy had a hold on things there and had a vacation home in Reefside, so he knew his way around. But was upset that he could not find a spot where a hell mouth or demon decided not to visit or live.
Everyone tells her goodbye and resumes on with the party but the atmosphere is not the same. When everyone leaves Tommy calls Jason.
"Man something is up, Kim was lying to us."
Jason says "really I could not tell."
"Yea I sensed it, seems as though we can still sense the other person's moods even after all this time." He thinks maybe this is a sign that we are destined.
"Bro, we should follow her next time, dang I wish I would have known because I would have trailed her then."
I know, I was thinking the same thing but come on it is Kim maybe she has a surprise or something up her sleeve."
"Yup, I can agree with that one." "Bye Tommy."
"Bye Jason and remember to keep quiet about this for now." He knew that Jason told his wife Trini everything and did not want to blow something out of proportion.
"Alright man, see you tomorrow."
Kim is riding with Giles as he explains about the new monster.
"This demon is named Kalgan and he is very deadly." "He strikes where it hurts the most, so he has henchmen watching you to see who your friends and family are."
"Do you think he saw me with them?"
"It is hard to tell but if he is already here then I would think yes and maybe you should not be around them so much until we can kill Kalgan."
"Can't I just tell them now; I mean they were power rangers and can keep a secret."
"No Kim, not right now." "The less they know the less people who are in danger trying to help you." "Think about it for a second."
She thought about it and said "I guess you are right." The pair continue to talk about the Kalgan and ways to defeat him.
At Giles house Kim is surprised to see her aunt Joyce there.
Hi Aunt Joyce, I am surprised you let Buffy watch the house for this long. Giles had been in Reefside for two weeks.
Dear, I will back next week I was just spending some alone time with my husband. "I would not leave your cousin alone for even this amount but I know that Giles needs to be here and I want to spend some time with him."
"Honestly Kim you think we are losing it or something?" Asked Giles.
"No I was just shocked but never mind."
Kim tells her aunt, "I thought so."
Giles and Kim go over strategies then he takes her home in case one of her friends or family members decides to call her or stop by. He helps her with her bags since they had moved them to his car.
"Bye Kim be safe."
"You too Uncle Giles, Bye."
