DECISIONS OF PINK

AUTHOR'S NOTE/DISCLAIMER

This is my own take on these episodes and have been condensed into one ep. Whether or not Kimberly decides to leave, well, you'll just have to read to find out. Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. I only own the subplots and characters you don't recognize. Reference to a conversation in "The Soul Stealer". I use a line from the actual ep.

In a secret chamber in the Command Center, Alpha and Zordon were working furiously.

"How are the final touches for the Shark Cycles coming, Alpha?" Zordon questioned.

"Very well, Zordon. The Rangers will be so pleased and surprised," Alpha answered. Zordon nodded. That they would. And the motorcycles would be a great addition to the Rangers' arsenal. Soon, Alpha was done and the two went back to the Command Center. Meanwhile, in Ernie's Gym And Juice Bar, Justin, Hilary, Chris, Tina, Zane, Richie, and Curtis sat a table talking while Jason and Tommy were sparring on one side of the gym while Rocky and Adam sparred on the other side of the gym. While this was going on, Katherine, Zack, and Aisha were on the wait machines while Trini and Billy were doing a kata near where Jason and Tommy were sparring while Kimberly was working on the balancing beam. As he and Jason continued to spar, Tommy kept a subtle eye on Kimberly. Catching this, Jason chuckled. He had been doing the same thing. Presently, a man in his late forties walked into the youth center. His gaze zeroed in on the petite brunette doing a routine on the balance beam. She's wonderful, he thought to himself as he made his way over to where she was. As he approached her, various people stopped and stared. They couldn't believe that someone of his caliber was actually here.

"Wow. Can you believe he's actually here?" a girl whispered. Seeing the man approaching his girlfriend, Tommy stopped sparring with Jason and stared at him.

"Jase, Bro, is that who I think it is?" Tommy questioned. Jason looked to where Tommy was looking.

"Whoa. That's Gunthar Schmidt," the Red Ranger breathed.

"Kim's gonna flip," Tommy whispered and Jason nodded in agreement. She sure would. She had wanted to meet the man ever since she was a little girl. Kimberly did a front flip off of the balancing beam.

"Your routine is quite impressive," the man said in a German accent.

"Oh, my gosh. You're Gunthar Schmidt," Kimberly gasped in surprise. Oh, my gosh! I can't believe I'm actually meeting him! she thought to herself. Curious, the other Rangers and their friends walked up.

"Yes, I am," the man confirmed.

"Oh! I'm sorry! I'm-I'm Kimberly Hart," Kimberly introduced herself, holding out her hand.

"Very nice to meet you," Gunthar stated, shaking her hand. Then, "Where is your coach? I wish to discuss your training with him."

"I don't have a coach," Kimberly told him.

"No coach?" Gunthar repeated. No coach? A performer of her caliber? he thought to himself.

"Not since I started high school," she answered.

"That is not right. Not right at all," he insisted. "Kimberly, I would be very willing to set aside some time to help prepare you for the Pan Globals," he continued. Kimberly's mouth dropped. The-the Pan Globals? Me? Really? she thought. Though she had told Hilary that she was no longer interested in being an Olympian in the Pan Globals, which was still true, the idea of seeing if she could do it was still tempting.

"Uh…wow," she said, blowing out a breath. Gunthar watched her. Oh, my. Did I surprise her too much? he wondered. That hadn't been his intention at all.

"You do not have to answer right away. Why don't you take some time and think about it, and then you can let me know either way?" he suggested, pulling out a card with his information and giving it to her.

"Oh, wow. Thank you," the girl said.

"Kimberly, no matter what your decision, I hope to hear from you," the man told her. Then, he walked out. On the moon, Rita laughed in delight.

"So, little Kimmie has a chance to leave the Rangers, does she?" Rita asked.

"Why don't you place a spell on her so that's all she thinks about?" Rito suggested.

"An interesting idea, but the other Rangers would become suspicious," Goldar disagreed as Scorpina walked in.

"Ah, Scorpina. How is Zedd?" Rita questioned.

"Resting comfortably, Empress," Scorpina answered and Rita cackled in delight. Everything was going according to plan.
