The week went by fast, it was now Friday morning, the day that the original power rangers were meeting up before the big Ranger Reunion. The Hart girls had loaded the car up the night before so they wouldn't have that much to do when they woke up except get dressed and put on their make-up before hopping in the car for the three hour drive from LA to Angel Grove.
Beepbeepbeep
"Morning already?" Kim whined as she turned in her bed to shut off her alarm. 5:45, why so early she thought. As she was about to doze off back to sleep she heard her door open.
"Mom? It's time to get up and get ready. We have to be on the road by 11 at the latest. We don't want to be late meeting everyone in AG." Amy said while walking into her mothers room and lying down on the bed right next to her.
"Why do you have to be so right? Come on lets go into the kitchen and have breakfast then go and take our showers." Kim replied, pushing herself up and pulling the covers off her.
They had a decent breakfast, which consisted of eggs bacon and toast. After taking their time eating they took turns showering. When all was done they headed into their rooms to get dressed and put make-up on. By 10 o'clock they were all set to hit the road. Kim was dressed in white capris with a pink tank-top and a jean jacket, with matching pink sandals, and her hair pulled up in a pony tail. Amy was dressed in dark blue jean shorts, pink halter with matching sandals and her hair pulled back in two French braids. They got into Kim's silver Mazda RX-8, cranked up the radio and were off. The car was quiet as the girls just listened to the radio. Kim had her eyes on the road listening to the music and Amy doing the same but looking out the passenger window. After about an hour Amy had dozed off and Kim was stuck thinking about how everyone was going to react. At least everyone from Jason, Trini, and Zach's replacements. She was pulled out of her thoughts from a certain song on the radio that reminded her of the past, and the hurt caused.
Seems like it was
yesterday when I saw your face I would hold
you in my arms I'm sorry for blaming you
for everything I just couldn't do Would you tell me I was
wrong? I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just
couldn't do Oh, it's dangerous I'm sorry for blaming you for everything I just
couldn't do By hurting you
You told me how proud you were but
I walked away
If only I knew what I know today
I would take the pain away
Thank you for all
you've done
Forgive all your mistakes
There's nothing I
wouldn't do
To hear your voice again
Sometimes I want to call
you but I know you won't be there
And I've hurt myself by hurting
you
Some days I feel broke inside but I won't admit
Sometimes I
just want to hide 'cause it's you I miss
You know it's so hard to
say goodbye when it comes to this
Would you help me understand?
Are you looking down upon
me?
Are you proud of who I am?
There's nothing I wouldn't do
To
have just one more chance
To look into your eyes and see you
looking back
And I've hurt myself
If I had just one more day, I
would tell you how much that
I've missed you since you've been
away
It's so out of line to try to turn
back time
And I've hurt myself
Sometime during that song Amy had woken up and turned to ask her mother how much longer. When she did she saw that Kim had tears streaming down her cheeks and would wipe them away every so often. Amy was about to question but when she finally listened to the lyrics of the song she understood. It reminded her mother of the past that she would have loved to forget but as much as she could she knew that everything that happened had happened and there was no escaping it. She knew it had something to do with The Letter from her mothers past. Amy never questioned her mother about it because it was a sore subject and if going back in time was possible her mother would have done things differently. But she knew then that if Kim did do things differently then Amy never would have her in her life. Amy then turned back to the window, not wanting to see the pain her mother was in.
"That was Hurt by Christina Aguilera next up is Taylor Swift," They heard the announcer say.
Drew looks at me, I
fake a smile so he won't see Drew
talks to me, I laugh cause it's just so funny Chorus: He's the reason for the teardrops on my
guitar
That I want and I need everything
that we should be
I'll bet she's beautiful, that girl he talks
about
And she's got everything that I have to live without
That I can't even
see anyone when he's with me
He says he's so in love, he's finally
got it right,
I wonder if he knows he's all I think about at
night
The only thing that keeps me wishing on a wishing star
He's
the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
Not
only did the last song remind Kim of The infamous Letter, but this
song reminded her of the time Jason had dragged her home to Angel
Grove to get away from the strains caused by practicing. She had
thought that it was as good a time as any to explain The Letter to
her one true love Tommy Oliver. He being the then Leader of the Power
Rangers and Red Zeo Ranger. But things took a turn, Jason and Kim
were kidnapped, held captive, and turned evil against their will.
When they were rescued Jason had taken up the missing spot in the
Charity Karate Tournament. Kim was going to finally be able to tell
Tommy the truth after the tournament. As always plans changed, she
saw Tommy and Katherine "Kat," Kimberly's replacement, run into
each other's arms. All her hopes and dreams of getting back
together were crashed. She had left right then and there, not saying
goodbye to anyone not even Jason. While she was in Angel Grove all
her friends at the time before The Letter seemed not affected by it
but because of all the chaos, she felt they didn't have time to
show how they truly felt about her. Drew walks by me, can
he tell that I can't breathe? Repeat Chorus So I drive home alone, as I
turn out the light He's the reason for the teardrops on my
guitar Drew looks at me, I fake a smile so he won't
see.
And there he goes, so perfectly,
The
kind of flawless I wish I could be
She'd better hold him tight,
give him all her love
Look in those beautiful eyes and know she's
lucky cause
I'll put his picture down and maybe
Get some
sleep tonight
The only one who's got enough of me to break my heart
He's
the song in the car I keep singing, don't know why I do
He's the
time taken up, but there's never enough
And he's all that I need
to fall into..
Amy couldn't take it any more. Every time she looked at her mother, all she could see was tears rolling down her face. "Mom, are you okay?"
"Huh?!" Kim asked, realizing that she wasn't alone in the car, glancing quickly over at Amy and wiping her hand over her face to remove the tears. "I'm fine, nothing is wrong."
"Then why were you crying?"
"I was not crying," Kim replied not wanting Amy to know. But she got the look that don't lie to me look and knew she couldn't hide anything from her daughter. "It is just this song and the last song….it reminds me of all the pain that has occurred in my life the last time I was in Angel Grove and when I first moved to Florida."
"Oh, Mom, you have to put it all behind you and stop worrying. Everything will be great this weekend. You have nothing to worry about. Besides you have me and I am the bestest person to have around. So lets get rid of this depressing music and put on some real tunes. I mean we only have like an hour to go. Let's have some fun." With that said Amy plugged in her iPod and put some NOT so depressing music on. And her and Kim started singing at the top of their lungs.
Unknown Place
Same time
A
dark disfigured being could be seen looking out of his balcony
towards eavesdropping on the conversation between mother and
daughter. He has a plan, one that can and will - so he thinks
-destroy the so called "pathetic humans" everyone knows as
Power
Rangers.
"Nothing to worry about this weekend. HAHAHAHA. If you think that you have another thing coming to you, little girl. I will get what I want and nothing will get in my way" HAHAHAHA."
Angel Grove, California
Youth Center
"Well, here we are. Angel Grove Gym and Juice Bar also known as the Youth Center," Kim said as she turned to Amy shutting off the car and getting out.
"Kind of looks like the Gym at home, in a way," Amy replied while she and Kim walked into the building. Just as they were turning the last corner to walk into the main room, Amy saw heard shouting and saw two fast moving colors sparring each other. "AHHH" Amy screamed noticing who the shapes and colors were. Which caused the two people to stop, "Uncle Jason! Uncle Zach!" she shouted running over to give her two "Uncles" hugs.
"Hey kiddo, what's up. Haven't seen you in a couple of years," Zach replied, smiling at his "niece."
"I'm not a kid Zach. I am 19 years old," Amy replied hugging the original black ranger again.
"Your not?! Could have fooled me! Just kidding I know how old you are. But you will still be a kid to me. So where is Kimmie?"
"She is right over….huh…she was in the doorway just a few minutes ago…um…oh there she is! She is at the bar." Amy said pointing towards the area where the group used to sit when not on the main floor.
"I wonder why she didn't come and say hi, she usually does, I wonder what's wrong?" Jason said voicing his own opinion making himself known to the group again.
"All I know is in the car ride hear she seemed a little distant…especially when Christina Aguilera's Hurt and Taylor Swift's Teardrops on My Guitar played on the radio."
"Aw man, she probably feels like she doesn't belong here. Come on Zach lets go try and talk to her."
"Good luck guys, I was lucky to distract her until we walked in here." With that said Amy turned and went to the arcade area.
Unknown Place
"So little Kimmie feels like she doesn't belong, well she doesn't after away for so long. Soon she will be home and won't have to deal with anyone of them again." The disfigured being said turning from the balcony of his palace to go and sit on his throne.
