I Just Need You Now

He sat up in his room that night thinking. Thinking is all he could do. Evidently, she was all he could think about as time ticked slowly. The only memories of her trickled his tears and mind. He didn't know what to think when he heard the news.

The mumblings of Kimberly being held captive by the evil Lord Zedd and his evil princess Katherine were brewing as her lifeline was slowly drained. With her power coin and the falcon zord held captive, all Skull could worry about was her lifeless body.

He looked at the pictures of him and Kim that Aisha took during the Policeman's ball, then at the pictures from his graduation from the Police Academy, which to him, was his shining moment.

Witth him in the middle, Tommy and Kimberly on opposite ends, all he recall was how she was excited for him.

'Way to go, Skull,' she screamed with a posing thumbs up. He smiled back as he gave it back to her. He felt like a man that day. A real man. Bulk waved as he caught a glimpse of his best friend waving at the girl he wanted to love. 'Woo!'

His bedroom phone was next to him as he got antsy waiting upon the news on Kimberly's condition from anyone that could help him. Ranger or not, he cared for Kimberly - it didn't matter to him if she loved him back. He was as concerned as Tommy.

The wee hours of the morning crawled by as he waited for answers. No one yet had even called. It disturbed him. He wanted to be the one to rescue her.

"Screw the Power Rangers, I'll save my princess," he muttered to himself. The time read twelve-forty-five a.m. as he paced around. The chill of her nudges gave him a shake as he could hear her laugh in the back of his mind. "Will someone call me, ugh."

Five minutes passed as he walked around again. All he could do was sulk and sigh. He wished someone would give him some answers.

Riiiiiiiiing….Riiiiiing….

"About time," he huffed under his breath. He grabbed the phone, "Hello?"

If only his wish came true that night.

"How is she; where is she?" he said in concern.

"Um, she's okay Skull," Tommy assured him. He looked over at Kim's drained body as pink surges drew out from her body. "She's okay."

"What do you mean, okay?"

"She's fine, Skull. Get some sleep dude. Even bullies need their rest."

"Ha, very funny."

The two hung up. Skull shook his head as he looked at Kim's junior photo that was posted on the online board. He just wished she was more than just okay. He shut off his lights as he rested his head on his computer desk.

"Goodnight princess; I just hope you're alright," he said as he glanced up at the picture, as he began shutting his eyes.

"I love you."
