It was a cool, crisp, September morning in Angel Grove. Tommy Oliver woke up at around 6:15 AM to begin his morning run before having to meet up with Jason at the Gym for Karate practice. He rolled out of bed and grabbed his black adidas warm ups as well as his famous white tank top and put on his Nike running shoes. After dressing, he walked down his stairs and opened the pantry in the kitchen to reach a breakfast bar. He then walked to the cupboard, grabbed his water bottle and filled it to the tip with ice cold water from the refrigerator. His last stop was the dresser in the hallway for his i-pod and after he pressed play, he was out the door to begin his run.
Now before I get ahead of myself here I should explain. Most of you are familiar with the Hero's known as the Power Rangers. These teens were chosen for their strength, loyalty, and wisdom among other things. Now some believed that the Power Rangers were Super Hero's, and that is not entirely true. A Super Hero is a figure endowed with Super Human powers and uses these powers to fight evil and crime. The Power the Rangers held, although used to fight evil and crime, were not what you call Super Human. The Rangers received their powers from objects, such as crystals, stones, etc…These objects gave off energy and in turn helped the Rangers transform from there human appearance into there Ranger appearance without compromising their human emotions.
Our story starts and begins with my favorite of these fighting champions, the Original Power Rangers. Known better by most as Tommy, Jason, Trini, Kimberley, Billy, and Zac. These 6 extraordinary teens set the examples for all Power Rangers who would come after them. And these 6, although hero's, learned that sometime dealing with the human part of life was scarier and harder than facing Monsters who wanted nothing more than to have them for breakfast.
Okay, yes, now back to Tommy. See Tommy was a very determined young man. He was strong and loyal and a natural leader. His assurance was always the thing that people took to, because somehow, with Tommy on your side, you always felt safer. He wasn't always like that though. No, not at all, when Tommy first came to Angel Grove, the Rangers already existed. And before Tommy became one of them, he fell hard for two things. One, the evil spell that Rita put him under when she made him the Green Ranger, and two, Kimberley Hart.
Kimberley Hart was the heart of the original team. I always felt that her last name fit her so perfectly. As the pink ranger she was the optimistic one, a best friend to anyone, and never afraid to give up her own dreams for those whom she loved so dearly. This however, would sometimes lead her to miss out on her own happiness. When Tommy first walked into her life, she was intrigued. She couldn't take her big brown eyes off of the new kid in school and I swear, if you were there that day, you would have heard music. Zac, the black ranger, still to this day makes fun of her "goofy" expression she had on her face.
Now Zac was a character I must say. Always making the gang laugh and what an amazing dancer. A heart of gold and magic feet, Zac was a special friend. It was the best when Billy and him would get into arguments over scientific topics. Talk about hysterical. Billy, the blue ranger, was all brains man. He was so intelligent we used to call him Einstein. He hated it though, so we tried not to refer to him as that in public. Jason did once and Billy almost lost his cool.
Jason, the red ranger, now he's my favorite! I know, I am biased, because after all, we were married for 3 years, but still, I loved that man. Not as smart as Billy, or as funny as Zac. I couldn't tell you for sure if he could beat Tommy in arm wrestling, or if he'd sing to Taylor Swift with me as good as Kim, but Jason was my protector, everyone's protector for that matter. So willing to do anything for anyone if he thought it would help, a diamond in the ruff if you ask me. Oh yeah, me, my name is Trini…the original yellow ranger, although now I tell you this tale from the heavens above as I was called home a bit earlier than the others. I had important business to attend to, I was in charge of putting the Rangers back to how the should be.
