What Now?
Summary: This story is based on if Kimberly had been a horse back rider instead of a gymnast. It will be written mainly in first person. Some chapters may be written in Kim's POV, some in others. Ok so in my story when Kimberly left, it was because she had been invited to train with David and Karen O'Connor for the Rolex, one the largest three day events in the world. She sent Tommy a break up letter, like in the series, etc. Well Kimberly has come back to Angel Grove. And this is the story of what happens when she comes back six months after the letter. Rating slightly high as there is some graphic descriptions, please if you find reading about injured/dying animals be ware in the first few paragraphs. Also there will be occasional flashbacks throughout the story. Find out why she wrote the letter and where she's been during this time, and what's about to happen? Meanwhile in Angel Grove Lord Zedd is becoming increasingly stronger. Zordon has been forced to make new Zords and Powers. Sorry there won't be any mention of Zeo, Turbo, etc. This is the Morphin Rangers… get over it.
DISCLAIMER: I don't own the Power Rangers. David and Karen O'Connor won Gold in the Sydney Olympics and it is my dream on their team. Doc, the horse in the beginning, was my own Appendix gray gelding who recently died of old age. The accident portrayed is something I've never heard happen.
Stepping off the plane was a shock for me. First off it was January and well I forgot that usually on a January day I could wear a light jacket and be fine. Well I had just come from New Jersey where the normal temperature was about twenty degrees this time of year and snowing! Well of course I was dressed warm. That wasn't to unusual but you see I need to step and tell you why I'm back in Angel Grove.
About seven months ago I was competing at a big jumping show. Doc and I had gone clear round one and this was round two. I was really nervous but Doc was very much ready and I knew that he could do it. This was our chance to show ourselves off. Usually I didn't compete in show jumping alone but Karen had convinced me it would be good for my horse and for me. So anyways I had just entered the arena for round two and with my circle out of the way we had started the course. But going into the second jump, something went terribly wrong. Doc missed the jump, and landed on top of the standard, impaling himself. When we fell, I was crushed underneath his body. Doc survived the fall but was impaled and breeding profusely. I was alive and as the vets and ambulance services arrived I spoke to the vet to tell them to go ahead and put Doc down. There was no way I wanted my horse to suffer. After that I don't remember anything. I do know one thing that I woke up about a month after being in a medicine induced coma. See I was badly injured and they told me they didn't wasn't going to walk again. That's when I sent the letter that you are all familiar with. I couldn't bear to make him feel like he had to stay with a cripple. It took about six months but I had finally recovered enough that I was walking on my own. In fact I was even allowed to ride again. But I didn't ride. I don't ever plan to go near a horse again.
I had only told one person that I was coming home; Angela. You remember her? She's the same Angela that Zack had liked. I smiled fondly, thinking about Zack. She was picking me up so I could go to local Ford dealer where my mom had bought me a car. She had rented me a very large apartment in Angel Grove, the only place I wanted to go after I had recovered.
Skipping ahead a little too when I first arrived at my new apartment. I stepped inside the building and went to my second floor home. Opening the door I was surprised to see that my mom had already it completely redesigned for me. There was also bread, fruit and things like that sitting in the kitchen counter. This I could see from the door as it was an open floor plan. I forced myself to go and grab an apple to eat. I don't eat much usually; more so since I woke up from the coma. I only ate enough to keep me alive. There's more to it then that of course.
When I woke up the next morning I gathered everything I would need for my first day back at Angel Grove High School.
AN: I realize that is a short start but I want to know how you feel the angel of this story. There will be pairings, surprises and many other things. I kept the first chapter short because I don't want to go into tons of stuff if you guys don't like it. So let me know what you think. In the next chapter she is going to see all the Rangers for the first time again. And you are going to find out something very important.
