Author'snotes:
This is my first ever attempt for a Power Rangers story bare with me.
I never liked the way that they chose to write Kimberly off the show. I mean first with her going off to Florida after what it took to have her stay in Angel Grove once her mother remarried and then with the letter. So with a tiny little rewrite of this story I have my way for Kim to leave the team. The whole story arc with evil Katherine and Coach Schmidt never happened instead she leaves during the quest for the Zeo crystals similar to Aisha but with a different reason much closer to home.
On Kim's quest she she goes ten years into her past in Angel Grove. During this time she does meet Katherine who was one of her ballet classmates for a summer before Kat returned to Australia until her parents moved back to Angel Grove permanently for her senior year of high school.
I am not really gonna get into that time line too much except with bits and pieces here and there. This not a story of her leaving the team but a story about her being reunited with the team.
It goes without saying that I do not own anything but the plot. That is my own. Characters and what not are owned by the copy write holders.
Also be warned that I have no beta reader so there are bound to be typos.
My dearest Tommy,
If you are reading this it means that I have sent Kat to take my place on the team. I know you most likely won't understand why I chose not to return and I know you must be hurt and confused. But this is something I must do.
I never told anyone this before but when my parents were getting a divorce my mother and father got into a heated argument in which caused my mother to miscarry the baby that she did not know she was pregnant with. When I went back in time to find my shard of the Zeo shard I was able to prevent the miscarriage by preventing my father from accidentally knocking my mother down the stairs. I feel it is my duty to this baby to protect them. My mother and my future brother or sister need their big sister to help take care of them.
Please do not think that I am throwing away our relationship on a whim. I do realize that when Kat returns to our time that my memory of the past ten years will be rewritten meaning that I will not remember you or my time as a ranger. But know this I love you and even if I do not know you I will always love you. We are like two halves of the same soul. I am confident that we will find each other again, someday.
All of my love,
Kimberly
It had been eight years since the quest for the Zeo Crystals, eight years since he received the letter that tore his world apart, it had been eight years since he last saw his other half. To be honest he didn't know why he was thinking of her after all this time. Lord knows after how he had searched for her both while on duty and after. It was like her and her mother both dropped off the face of the earth after her parents divorced. Billy was able to pull vague memories of her mother remarrying and leaving Angel Grove when they were eight or nine years old. Billy could not remember to where they had moved to or the name of the man that her mom married.
He had tried to move on, hell he even tried to date her replacement for a short time during the end of his senior year of high school but all it did was make him miss her more. The team was never the same without her and once their time as rangers ended so did most contact between him and the others. Sure there was a letter here and a Christmas card there but the bond of the team had long since broken.
Jason joined the army and was a medic last time he checked in with him. Tommy found out that Jason he was deployed somewhere into the Middle East.
Billy left to the distant planet Aquitar and no one has really heard from him since.
Zack was off in Europe somewhere no one really knew what he did after he left for the teen youth summit. He pretty much dropped off the face of the earth from the other rangers. They all got a post card once in a blue moon but that is about it.
Trini died in a car crash up in San Francisco three years ago. She was hit by a underage drunk driver. The kid walked away with minimal bumps and bruises while she was on life support during the last week of her life. It tore him up that he could not fulfill her dying wish of being able to say good bye to her dearest friend.
Adam and Tanya married straight out of college, right now enjoying the suburban life somewhere in the Midwest. Adam joined an up and coming law firm and Tanya was a stay at home mom. They are currently waiting on the birth of their second child.
Rocky after injuring his back during the Maligore incident he decided to take his passion for food to the next level and went to Le Cordon Bleu School of culinary arts in France he became a top chef in New York. To Tommy's knowledge he wasn't seeing anyone seriously.
Aisha is still in Africa since she gave Tanya the Zeo shard she Did not remember her time as a ranger but with the help of Rocky, Adam, and Tanya she was able to learn about her original past; she was overwhelmed with the truth that she closed herself off from everyone for months as she dealt with the conflicting time lines.
And as for Kat, she left for London shortly after graduation to study Ballet with the Royal Ballet, to my knowledge she is still in England dancing. He really didn't pay much attention to her comings and goings.
As for him, the so called greatest ranger of all time. 'Greatest Ranger of all time what a joke.' he scoffed. 'How could he be the greatest ranger of all time when I can't even find my crane? Is she even my crane anymore? Knowing my luck she's probably married with kids by now.' he shook his head. Life had been okay for him.
Right out of high school he professional race car driver with his uncle for a year before realizing that the only reason he was doing it was to hold onto the adrenalin rush that he felt as a ranger. It was a flimsy substitute at best but being a ranger was the last tie he had to Kim and he did not want to give up the feel of his heart racing as it went into battle.
After racing he enrolled himself into UC Irvine and graduated with a doctorate in paleontology with top marks. He had a short mission with the other red rangers with the exception of Rocky, he didn't want anything to do with the mission in fear of causing harm to his already fragile back, to destroy Serpentina on the moon. Then he left for an island in the pacific for research on merging dinosaur DNA and technology. That little endeavor did not go to well when a mutant named Mesogog blew up the island and everyone but him with it. He left the island with three. Gem stones that he believed could be part of the comet that destroyed the dinosaurs. Realizing that these stones had power enough to make a new ranger team he decided to lay low in a quiet town in California that reminded him allot of Angel Grove named Reefside. Thus becoming a mild mannered high school science teacher about to start his first day at the new job.
