Disclaimer: The characters of Power Rangers & party of five do not belong to me. This is an idea I came up with when I as watching MMPR, the DVDs I bought with my birthday money. XD. It's AU, and Kim and Jason meet in high school instead of when they're little. Also, it's modernized, 'cause Oh my God the '90s. Anyway, I hope you like it!

When the World Stopped Turning

By Julia
The bell rang over the door of the shop. Kimberly Hart was working there after school for extra cash to buy a car. She was bored, and she was glad when someone came in. It was a clothing store, and Kimberly was obsessed with clothes. She gasped when she saw who had come in. He was so hot. Tall, dark, and just buff enough. Kimberly grinned and headed over to him. "Hi, is there something I can help you with?" She asked, her brown eyes sparkling. She didn't know how she had lived in Angel Grove this long and not have met this guy. She toyed with her shoulder length brown hair. She was definitely into him. He was so hot. If he had manners, he'd be perfect. There was no way he was single, though. He was too perfect.

When he heard that soft voice, Jason's insides melted. She was so beautiful. And tiny. But she was the perfect size. Jason Scott gave her his biggest grin. "I need to get something for my sister's birthday. Can you help with that?" Jason asked, trying not to pass out from how cute she was. She was gorgeous. He didn't know how he had never met her. Angel Grove was a small town. There was only one high school. He and his best friend Zack Taylor were two of the most popular guys in school. They could have anyone they wanted, He looked at her. "You look like you know a lot about clothes."

She grinned. "I do. What does your sister like?" She asked. It was hard when you didn't know what you were looking for. "And do you know what her size is?" Kimberly couldn't help but touch his arm. Hello muscles. He was so cute. She didn't know how she was going to keep talking to him without sounding like a nerd. He was so sweet, too. Kimberly was already trying to think of things that might be good for his sister. There was a lot of cute stuff. She gave him a grin. "I'm Kimberly." She said, hoping that would prompt him to tell her his name. She hoped he would, he was amazing and she wanted to get to know him.

Jason gave her his best smile. "I'm Jason." He told her, unable to keep from touching her arm. "It's nice to meet you." He said earnestly, and nearly forgot about why he was there. He was supposed to be selecting something for Claudia's birthday. She was turning eleven. Jason couldn't help it, Kimberly was really cute. She was just the type of girl he was looking for. Jason had never really had a girlfriend before. No one had ever really been good enough. Jason was nice to everyone though, it was just in his nature. He smiled more when she leaned into his touch. Jason could tell she was definitely into him. "So…. a pretty girl like you has to have a boyfriend." He said, winking at her.

Blushing, she shook her head. "No, I don't have a boyfriend." She couldn't believe it, that this guy was asking her if she had a boyfriend. She didn't know how to be cool and talk to him without sounding nerdy. She changed the subject. "So, what does your sister like?" She wanted to make sure she helped him get the right stuff. "How old is she going to be?" This was all stuff she needed to know in order to find the right outfit. Plus, it was going to give her more time with Jason. That could only be good.

After an hour of picking out things, Jason had finally picked out an outfit for Claudia. He had paid, and was not sure how to leave without getting her number for his cell phone. Jason was definitely going to call her if he did get it. He stared at his red and black DC sneakers. Then, he lifted his gaze back up to Kimberly. "So…. do you want to go out sometime?" He asked, cursing his voice for squeaking a little. Jason was not used to being nervous around girls. He was used to having the upper hand. Jason was usually pretty smooth with girls. He did usually have Zack with him for wing man support. It was different being on his own.

That was all Kimberly had been wanting to hear. She nodded. "Yes. Definitely." She offered out her cell phone. "Put your phone in there and I will text you." She said, smiling, all traces of shyness gone. She could do this. She could talk to boys. Especially one as cute as Jason. He put his phone number in and handed her phone back. She grinned. "What did you have in mind for our date?" She asked, putting her phone back in her pink jeans pocket. She was wearing a red tank top and a pink sweatshirt buttoned half up over top it. She had not failed to notice his red tank top and tight blue jeans. It was always sunny and beautiful in Angel Grove, something Kimberly liked about living there. She was hoping he would tell her what he had in mind so she could dress accordingly. Kim wanted to make sure she was dressed right. It was always something she cared about. She was very fashion conscious. She always had been.

Jason gave her a smile. She was really cute. He was glad that she had agreed to go. Jason had thought they could have a picnic and then grab a milkshake at the Youth Center. Jason taught karate classes there. He spent a lot of time there after school. Zack usually did too. There was some girl he was after. Her name was Aisha Campbell. Jason thought she was a great girl, and she couldn't do better than Zack. He was Jason's best friend in the whole world. They'd known each other since they had been in diapers. Jason ran his hand through his black hair. "You are so beautiful." He said in his rich baritone. "I was thinking that we'd have a picnic and then I'd take you for a milkshake at the Youth Center."

"Really?" Kimberly said, her eyes opening wide. "That would be fun. I go there all the time!" She was excited. Jason really was amazing. She couldn't believe he had chosen her. She was very lucky. Her eyes were bright as she said, "That sounds great." She was glad he'd come in the shop. She couldn't imagine finding anyone better than him. Kimberly peered at her schedule behind the counter. "I'm free tomorrow." She told him brightly. She was going to have to go out with Aisha and get a new outfit. Maybe Kellie would be able to go too. Kellie was Kimberly's best friend. They had known each other for years. She was sure Kellie could help her pick something out. Kellie John was almost as into clothes as she was. "Is tomorrow good for you?" She asked.

"Yeah, that's good. Is noon okay?" Jason asked, it was a Saturday and the weather was supposed to be gorgeous. Jason thought it would be a perfect date. He wasn't nervous anymore. He had no doubt that this would be great. Jason was sure he'd walk away from this date with Kimberly has his girlfriend. Jason couldn't imagine anything better. They would be amazing together, he was sure of it. It would be great. Jason said, "I promise, you won't regret it." He planned on showing her the best time she had ever had on a date. She was so beautiful and he couldn't imagine dating anyone else. He was already trying to decide if he should take her in his Jeep or the motorcycle he bought last year. He had fixed it up really nice, too. Jason knew that it wasn't going to be easy to take the picnic basket with them. It would be easier to take the Jeep. He could put the basket in the back.

Beaming, Kimberly leaned up to the taller boy and kissed his cheek. "That sounds amazing." She was going to have to text him when she got home. "I'll text you later." She promised. She had to get back to work, even if she didn't really want to. Kimberly wanted to call Kellie or Aisha and talk to them about Jason. This was amazing and she still couldn't believe it had happened. She was not usually a girl who had guys after her, unless you counted Bulk and Skull. She didn't know that she did. They were the school's bullies. Kimberly didn't know what was going to happen, but she was so nervous. Kimberly smiled at him as he left the store, holding the bag with the outfit he'd bought for his sister. Out of all that she had thought was going to happen today, getting a date with a foxy guy was not on the top of her list.

Later that evening, Kimberly was on her laptop, iming with Kellie and Aisha. She had already texted Jason, and he'd texted back. She was telling them about Jason. Kimberly wasn't sure how she had gotten so lucky. Jason was really gorgeous, and he had agreed to date her. Kimberly had never had a steady boyfriend before. She was excited about possibly having a real boyfriend. Especially one as cute as Jason. Kimberly wasn't home by herself, her dad was in the kitchen making dinner. Kimberly could smell the chicken he was cooking. She liked chicken. Normally she helped, but Michael had told her he could do it without her. Kimberly had a soda next to her and she was sipping from it. She and her father lived in a nice suburban neighborhood in Angel Grove. She had been born in California, they had lived in LA till she was four and then they'd moved to Angel Grove. Her father had wanted to raise her in a small town. He thought it would be better for her than LA was.

That's when Kimberly's phone rang. It was Jason. She grinned. "Hi." She said, when she picked it up. She couldn't keep from being happy. She wanted to get to know Jason. "What are you doing?" She asked, setting her IM status to away so Aisha and Kellie would know where she was. She was so glad to be talking to him. "I'm so glad you called." She told him honestly.

Jason was lying on his bed, in his boxer briefs and a tank top. He hadn't been able to hold off calling her. Jason was starting to like her a lot. She was so cute. "I'm glad I did too. I just wanted to hear your voice." He thought he might be falling for her. It was love at first sight. Jason had thought love at first sight had gone the way of old movies. He was really into her though. She was amazing. He couldn't wait till they went out. It was going to be so amazing. "What are you doing?" He asked. His brother was downstairs making dinner. Jason was hungry and he could smell it. "My brother's making dinner and it smells great." He didn't know exactly what it was, but it would be great he was sure. Jason was trying to learn how to cook. He wanted to know how to help with girls. It was something he was passionate about.

Kimberly giggled. "My dad's making dinner here, too. He's fixing chicken. I was just iming to my friends about you." She told him, unable to keep from smiling. There was something about him that just made her happy. She didn't really know what it was. She thought maybe they were supposed to be together. It felt like destiny. She had never felt that way about a boy before. It felt nice, it felt good. Kimberly felt a glow inside her. She couldn't help but be bubbly. She usually was, anyway. She was generally pretty happy. She had a pretty charmed life. She was a gymnast, a cheerleader, and she had great friends. Plus, she was pretty popular. She was a pretty satisfied girl. Now she had Jason. Or would have.

She had been telling her friends about him? Jason smiled. That was always a good sign. 'You were telling your friends about me?" He asked, his tone flirty. "I was telling my best friend Zack about you." He told her. Zack had sounded excited. Zack had just asked if she was cute or not. They had been best friends for a really long time, and Zack thought Jason's judgment was just fine when it came to girls. Jason had always appreciated the support. He liked when he and Zack were on the same page. "Zack just wanted to make sure you were hot." He told her. Jason couldn't help but smile. "I told him you were." He ran his hand through his black hair. He had a piercing in his ear too. He had had to have Charlie, his older brother's permission to get it done because he wasn't old enough. Jason was only 17. He and his brothers and sisters had lost their parents in a car accident a year ago. They functioned okay now but it had been hard at first. They had adjusted better now.

Kimberly laughed, "Oh wow. I'm glad you think I'm hot though." She told him, beaming. She was pacing around the living room as she was talking. She was playing with a lock of her brown hair. "Wait, Zack? Zack Taylor?" She asked. There was some guy interested in Aisha named Zack Taylor. She was curious to see if it was the same guy that Jason was talking about. She was sure it was, Angel Grove was pretty small. She liked that the most about it. She liked that there was the ability to know everyone that lived in the same place as you. Kimberly went to the Youth Center with Aisha and Kellie all the time. It was a great place for the kids of Angel Grove to hang out. She had a lot of fun going. She practiced her gymnastics there. It was fun. She wondered if Jason went there too.

Jason grinned. "Yup, that's him. Zack's after some girl named Aisha. She's really great, I've met her a couple of times." He said, laying back on the bed. He wondered how well she knew Zack. He thought that he might have to hurt Zack if he had known this girl and hadn't introduced him. Jason could feel himself falling really hard for her. She was so adorable and bouncy. Jason thought it was great. He wondered how well Kim knew Zack. "Have you spent a lot of time with him?" He asked curiously.

"I don't know, not a lot. He likes my friend Aisha." Kimberly replied. She thought Zack was a nice guy. He was wearing Aisha down, too. She had liked him immediately and had just been making him work a little. She was about to give in to him. Kimberly thought they'd be a very cute couple. And maybe they could double date with Zack and Aisha if they got together. That would be a lot of fun. Kimberly thought it was pretty cool that Jason and Zack were best friends. She thought it was such a small world. "I can't believe you and Zack know each other. I am glad, Zack's almost got Aisha to say yes… we can double date." Kimberly said happily. She had never had anyone to really double date with. Kimberly thought it would be fun. Especially with a cute guy like Jason.

"That could be fun. A possibility, too. I will say now, though, I've never really dated anyone before, so this is all new to me. You should know." Jason told her. He thought it should be full disclosure. They could deal with it that way. Jason didn't know what to do as far as kissing and whatnot went, he thought he'd have to learn by experience. Jason had never really kissed anyone, and he couldn't wait. He wanted it to be Kim. She looked like she was a very good kisser. He would just have to wait and find out.

The next day, Kimberly was getting ready for their date. She was doing her hair. It was not cooperating, and she was getting frustrated. She was trying to get it to curl with her hot rollers. She was going to have to give up. Do something else with it. She got out her brush and started working it through her hair. She decided to leave it and put a headband in her hair. It was just simplest and she was sure Jason would like it. After she had done that, she put on some light makeup. She was so nervous. She didn't want to mess this up. Kimberly was super nervous. She didn't know what she was going to do if the date went badly. She really liked Jason, they had talked for hours the night before. She had almost forgotten to go to bed. They had managed to really find a lot of stuff to talk about. She could not believe how well they got along. It was amazing. She liked him so much. He was so handsome. And sweet. Kim was sure their date would be amazing. She was really excited.

After she was done, she put on a pink rayon skirt and a soft pink shirt. She grabbed a pair of black sandals. She surveyed herself. She looked really pretty. Kimberly was proud of herself for making herself look so pretty for her date. Jason would be here soon. She got her purse and headed down to get some juice while she waited. She was on edge, she was so nervous. Her cell phone was sitting on the counter, and it began to vibrate. She grabbed it up. It was Aisha, texting her.

Kim, are u ready? You nervous?

She grinned and sent a text back, she loved her friends…. They were very supportive. She was glad she had them.

I am, really nervous. He'll be here soon.

As soon as she sent the message, the doorbell rang. Her insides turned to jelly and she went to get it. Jason was on her porch, and he looked super dashing. He was wearing a pair of nice, tight jeans, and a red button up dress shirt. One of the buttons was undone, giving her an eyeful of his broad chest. Kimberly sucked in a gasp. "Um, hi." She said, letting out a breath. "I'm ready if you are." She said, and when he nodded, she grabbed her phone and keys, and went with him out the door. She was starting to walk down to his vehicle, but Jason offered her his arm. He had brought the Jeep. He had thought that would be easiest. He had the picnic basket and blanket in the back seat. He was nervous. He opened the door for Kimberly, and she climbed in. It was nice, and she was glad to be here. He went around and started up the Jeep. He started off to the park. This should be fun. Kimberly looked at him. "You look really nice." She told him. She really thought he did. Gorgeous.

Jason blushed. He hadn't really thought about it. He was glad Kim thought he looked good. "Thanks, you look pretty too." He said, giving her a big smile. She did, too. Jason couldn't wait to get to the park. Angel Grove Park was beautiful, and everyone hung out there. He had already picked out a spot for their date. He hoped she was going to have a good time. Jason was so happy. His stomach was full of butterflies. How was this going to go? He just hoped it went okay. "I can't get over how gorgeous you are." He said, looking at her, grinning.

A blush covered her cheeks. She wasn't used to compliments like that. "Thanks." She said, and Jason was pulling into a space at the park. Kimberly started to hop out but he shook his head and went to let her out. She grinned. He was such a gentleman. "Thank you, kind sir." She said, giggling. She moved so he could get to the food. She watched him as he did, her lips puckering a little. She wanted to kiss him. He was so gorgeous. She followed him as he headed across the grass.

Jason found the spot, and spread out the blanket. She sat down, and he joined her, opening the basket. "I have chicken salad, fruit, chips, soda, and croissants." He said, as he began to unpack it all. Jason had gotten most of it at a deli. He had cut up the fruit himself though. He started putting some on a paper plate for her as she got a soda. He smiled. "I hope you like chicken salad…. I forgot to ask." He said. He hoped she did. Jason had been too excited for the date to ask her if she did. He got his own soda. She looked beautiful in the park setting. It was amazing. "Oh, it's so gorgeous out." He said.

Kimberly grinned. "I love chicken salad." She told him, taking her plate of food. She cut open her croissant to put her chicken salad on it. She nodded when he mentioned the gorgeous day. "Yes… it's one of the reasons I love Angel Grove. It's always gorgeous here." She said, closing up her sandwich. She could not believe she was here. It was going to be an amazing date. Kimberly couldn't be happier. She bit into her makeshift sandwich. She couldn't take her eyes off his lips. She wanted to kiss him so badly. She bet he was really good at it.

They spent most of the date making googly eyes at each other. As Jason was packing up, Kimberly leaned over to him, and pressed her lips softly to his. He let out a gasp of surprise but kissed her back. She was good at it. It was amazing, just like he thought it would be. He pressed against her, and she pushed him back against the blanket. She straddled him. Sex was big and important but making out with him was definitely something she wanted to do. She pressed her lips to his again, her hands on his chest. Jason groaned but kissed her back. It was amazing, she was a great kisser. His whole body was shivering. Kimberly was having the time of her life. "I think… I think I'm falling for you." She whispered.

Jason looked at her. "I… I think I've already fallen for you." She felt tears prick her eyes and they started kissing again. Nothing would come between them.

Author's note: SO! OMG. They're so cute. I left this open, in case someone wants it continued, but, that's all for now. Hope ya'll like! XD.
