Angel Grove, CA- Angel Grove High School
09: 45 a.m.
Katherine 'Kat' Hillard and her parents had just arrived at Angel Grove High School. Kat was moving from Australia. Her dad, Albert Hillard accepted a job as the new ADA of Angel Grove, CA. Her mother, Serena Hillard thought it was best to move to the United States as well. Serena already accepted a job as a buyer for Nordstroms. They lived a very comfortable lifestyle.
Kat is 16 years old, and she didn't really want to move. She loved her life in Australia. Everyone at her old high school loved her. She was captain of the dance and diving team there, all the guys wanted her, and she excelled in her studies. Who wouldn't want Kat? Kat is very tall, approximately 5'8", has blonde hair, and the most gorgeous blue eyes. She wasn't stick-skinny, but she wasn't fat either. Her personality wasn't obnoxious or conceited, she was a sophisticated gal. Very humble in the eyes of her fellow peers.
'I should like living in the United States. Angel Grove, California seems like a great place to live. I just all my friends and other family back home.'
"Honey, would you like to take a tour of the school?" Serena asked. Principal Kaplan wanted to make sure Kat would adjust to her surroundings very quickly.
"Sure mum, I'll go around the school to check things out," Kat told her Mom.
Principal Kaplan showed Kat the classes, the lockers, where the cafeteria was, and the gym. He also mentioned there was a school's dance team that Kat should try to check out. After spending some time at school, Kat and her family went home.

Kat had lived in Angel Grove for a week now. She wanted to do something, but she didn't know what. She decided to check out the local Angel Grove Park. It was walking distance from her home, and she really wanted to check out that lake that she had seen. Water always did calm her down. She used to be a diver, but an injury made her deathly afraid to step on a diving board.
The walk to the park was only 15 minutes. She felt the light breeze hitting her skin. She smiled. The weather wasn't like Australia's. Kat was wearing beige shorts, white shirt, and white sneakers. Her shoulder length blonde hair was down. Kat doesn't need make up really, but she wears a little bit of mascara to accentuate her blue eyes. She looked around the park, taking in her surroundings. There were families having picnics, playing games, chasing each other around the park.
'This park reminds me of home. It's so nice. Seems like a popular spot to me.'
Off in the distance, she noticed a group of teenagers. They looked like to be her age. There were four guys and two girls. She watched them in awe; it looks like they were practicing karate or something. There was a guy wearing a white tank top with black track pants, he had long brown hair and had a white bandana tied around his forehead. He was in the front. 'Seems like he is the one teaching them' Kat thought. In front of him, were the five other teenagers. They were in a line. There was a girl in a pink sports bra, white tracks pants in the middle. To the left of her was a girl in a yellow tank top and black shorts and to the next to her was a guy wearing a red tank top and black track pants. To the right of the girl in pink, there was a guy wearing a black tank top and black track pants, then next to him was a guy wearing a blue tank top and gray sweatpants. The group followed what the guy in white was moving. Their movements were so coordinated. She watched for what seemed like 10 minutes.
She was brought out of her reverie, when a guy ran into her. He knocked her down. Quickly, he got up and held out a hand to her. "Sorry about that," he apologized. Kat looked at him, he was muscular, wearing a black shirt, and blue basketball shorts. He was holding a basketball in his right, and a water bottle in his left. 'He must have been playing basketball', Kat examined.
"Bro, are you coming or what? Mom says we have to be home now!" someone yelled.
"Sorry for bumping into you, my brother and I were in a rush to get home. I wasn't looking where I was going and ran into you," the guy explained.
Kat smiled at him, "It's quite alright, I guess I should've been paying more attention."
"Well I would love to stay and chat with someone who is as cute as you, but I really need to head home. Bye!" the guy yelled as he was running backwards towards what looked like his little brother.
'Bye. I wonder if I will ever see him again. He is tall, dark, handsome and very polite. I should have gotten his name. It would've been nice to make a friend before school began.' Kat said in her mind as she watched him run off.
Kat was brought out of her thoughts when she watched the group of teenagers again. They seemed to be fighting. She got scared for the girl in pink she was up against the guy in white. The guy in red was against the girl in yellow, and the other two guys were fighting each other. Katherine furrowed her brows, 'Why would they be doing that? And since when is it okay for a guy and girl to fight each other?'
She continued watching, both girls seemed to be holding their own. This was something she had never seen before. 'I wonder where the girls learned their moves from.'
The guys in red, black, and blue, and the girl in yellow stopped fighting. They started to watch the girl in pink and the guy in white spar. To people on the outside, this fight looked like it was beginning to get fierce. To this group of teenagers, it was the norm. The girl in pink started to cartwheel and back flip to dodge the punches and kicks from the guy in white. The guy in white started his offensive attacks in hopes of pinning the girl in pink. The girl in pink looked so graceful while fighting the guy in white. When Kat thought the guy was going to win, the girl quickly swiped him under his feet and then got on top to pin him. Kat saw that their friends clapped, and the girl in pink on top of the guy in white gave him a kiss on the lips. They stayed that way for some time. Their friends started rolling their eyes and catcalling to the couple.
'Are they boyfriend and girlfriend? They do seem cute together.' Kat kept watching them, and then looked at her watch. She had been out for an hour and a half. Her parents did want her to find her way around Angel Grove, they didn't want her staying out for too long by herself. Kat looked back at the group of friends and wished her friends from back home were here with her.

Moon- Lunar Palace, Home of Lord Zedd and Rita
Unknown Time
Lord Zedd and his wife Rita were in the main quarters of the Lunar Palace. They've been trying to defeat the Power Rangers for what seemed like years now. Each time they tried to conquer the Power Rangers, they were always defeated.
"Ahhhh, Zeddy I have such a headache!" Rita Repulsa exclaimed. Rita Repulsa had spent three years trying to defeat the Power Rangers. She already held a grudge against them for locking her away in what looked like a tin can for 10,000 years. When she was released three years ago, she vowed to get her revenge on Zordon and his fleet of Power Rangers. She was defeated, but she got hope in the form of Tommy Oliver. Thomas James Oliver was 15 when he first moved to Angel Grove. Shortly after he arrived, he had entered a martial arts competition against Jason Lee Scott, first Red Ranger. The match ended in a draw, but Rita deemed Tommy worthy to be her mighty warrior. He even received the Sword of Darkness as a gift from his Empress. Two days after the competition, Rita captured Tommy and turned him into the evil Green Ranger. He wreaked havoc for a week. Terrorizing the citizens of Angel Grove, and distilling fear towards the Power Rangers. Heck, he even made sure Zordon was in the galaxy for a full week. Slowly, Rita's win began to fall. Jason destroyed the Sword of Darkness, and Tommy deflected to the side of good.
"Don't worry, my love that is made with evil," Rita's husband, Lord Zedd, stated. Lord Zedd came onto the scene two years ago. He had banished Rita from the Palace. He had failures, but his biggest accomplishment was when he made Tommy lose his Green Ranger powers for good. Unfortunately, Zordon brought him back as the White Power Ranger. Tommy's powers were made from good, so they could never be taken away from him. Several months after Rita left, she came back; she and Lord Zedd wed after her return. Even though, Rita used a spell to brainwash Lord Zedd to fall in love with her, somewhere along the line they did fall in love.
"Hey, uh Ed don't you think you should come up with a plan to get rid of the Power Rangers?" Rito Revolto, Rita Repulsa's, brother questioned. Rito arrived before the Power Rangers had received their Ninjetti powers. Rito had some success so far, he was the one that got rid of the Power Rangers' Thunder Zords and Tommy's prized Tigerzord. He even gave Rita flocks of Tengas as a late wedding gift.
Lord Zedd growled, "You idiot! First, it's Zedd and second don't you think that's what I am trying to do!"
"Why don't you attack the strength of the team?" Goldar said. Goldar was Lord Zedd and Rita's prized warrior. He had stuck by them since the beginning. His mission in life was destroying the Power Rangers. Goldar hated Jason Scott a lot, and wished he was still a Power Ranger, but for now Tommy Oliver would do. However, Goldar's thoughts were focused on his wife, Scorpina. He missed her dearly, but she had to retreat after she got pregnant with their child. Scorpina made the decision to go back to their home planet because she hated the sight of the Power Rangers so much she knew she would fight in her condition. Goldar had some compassion and understood why his wife would choose to go home. Their daughter, Laima, was growing up in their home planet. Goldar was proud of his daughter for becoming a strong warrior.
Lord Zedd thought about Goldar's statement for some time. He knew attacking Tommy was the best way to make the Power Rangers crumble. But how? That was the question. Tommy was the leader, a great warrior, and was really quite powerful. Tommy, dubbed "Winged Lord of the Skies", held the spirit of the Falcon. Which is a trait to be feared, especially all evil feared Tommy. He has the heart of goodness. Then it clicked. "We use Kimberly against him!" Lord Zedd exclaimed.
"My husband, you are brilliant. Yes we use Kimberly. She is the heart of the team. Not to mention Tommy's ultimate weakness!" Rita said. Rita hated Kimberly Hart. Kimberly is the heat of the team. Everyone adored her, Zordon looked at her like she was his daughter, not to mention she wielded the Crane Zord. Dulcea had dubbed her, "Winged Lady of the Skies". Tommy and Kimberly were destined to be together. It was written in the skies after all. There seemed to be nothing to become between the two. No evil has tried to conquer true love between the two. Until now. "Zeddy, I wonder what those power brats are doing now."
Rita made her way to her telescope to look at Power Rangers. They were at the Youth Center, their number one hangout. She looked around the Youth Center, Kimberly was on the beam. Rocky was eating, Aisha was drinking a smoothie, and Billy was reading a book. Adam and Tommy were on the mats sparring. It seemed like their usual activities, until Rita noticed a teenage girl to the side watching them intently. This girl had shoulder length blonde hair, blue eyes, and a fair complexion. Rita thought this to be the most beautiful girl she had seen right next to her of course. Rita kept the gaze on the girl, and it seemed like the girl wanted to be a part of their group. The girl's eyes seemed to be green with jealousy when looking at Kimberly. Rita watched as Kimberly flipped off the beam, Tommy from the mat sensed Kimberly's tumble and gracefully caught her. The girl who was watching, her eyes seem to flash green a little more. Then she left.
"Zeddy! I've got the perfect idea. We use a girl to drive a rift between Tommy and Kimberly. We find a girl turn her evil, and we make sure she takes Tommy and what she holds dear to her most away from her" Rita said as she got a twinkle in her eye. She thought this was the most perfect plan. And the girl she saw in the Youth Center would work perfectly for her plan.
"Ah, my pet that is brilliant. When it works, we put an end to the Power Rangers and rule the world!" Zedd cackled in delight.
Rita then told her husband of her plan. She then showed Lord Zedd the girl of her choosing. Lord Zedd nodded in agreement. Now they needed to find a spell to put their plan into action.
"FINSTER!" They demanded. He would be the one to help.

Tuesday, September 02nd
Angel Grove, CA- Angel Grove High School
07:40 A.M.
School had just started. Kat was sitting in her first period class. She was excited for school to start, and she had hoped to make new friends. Next to her she noticed a guy. He was tall, dark skinned, wore brightly colored clothes. He had just flashed Kat that "Kool Aid smile". Kat smiled back. He introduced himself to her.
"Hi, my name is Curtis Taylor." He held his hand to Kat.
Kat smiled, "Hi, Curtis, my name is Katherine, but I go by Kat."
"Is this your first day here?" Curtis asked politely.
"Yeah, I just moved her from Australia."
"Really? Wow is it nice out there? Do you miss it? What brings you here?" Curtis kept firing questions towards Kat. She was a little taken aback by his enthusiasm.
"Hey Curtis don't over talk her to death!" Another guy said coming towards them. He was tall, dark, handsome also. He wore a white t-shirt, black pants, and sneakers. He smiled at Kat, "Hi, my name is Richie. I am Curtis' best friend."
Kat held out her hand to him, "My name is Katherine, but I also go by Kat. Nice to meet you."
'Wow, the guys sure are nice here. I wonder if I am going to also see that guy I met at the park. He was so nice. Not to mention easy on the eyes. I also wonder if I am going to see that group of friends that I saw at the Youth Center. After taking a better look at the guy in white, I noticed he too, was tall, dark, and handsome. What the hell do they have in the water at Angel Grove? His girlfriend is gorgeous too. No wonder they are together.' Kat kept thinking about them. For some reason, she was jealous of the girl. There are plenty of more guys out in the halls of Angel Grove.
"So, Kat have you been to the Youth Center?" Richie asked.
"Yeah I have been. It's really nice there. I noticed that it's a popular hangout."
"I wonder why I haven't seen you around. I work there with Ernie, you know the owner of the Youth Center."
"I've only been there once, maybe you had your day off."
"Hey Richie, are you going to meet up with Tommy later? I want to see if your skills have gotten any better over the summer." Curtis said to Richie.
"I've been practicing like five days a week, but I will never beat Tommy. He's like a 9th degree black belt or something. Dude, what if he's like a ninja or something? He's really tough to beat. I am surprised Jason even tied with him when they had that competition awhile back." Richie told Curtis.
"Who's Tommy?" Kat inquired.
"O, he's like the most popular guy in school. You can't miss him, he's really tall, and has long hair. He used to have an obsession with the color green, he used to wear it all the time. Now, he's taken a liking to wearing white. He is usually with his girlfriend and their friends around school." Curtis informed Kat.
'I wonder if they are talking about the guy I noticed at the Youth Center. He fits the description to a T. Maybe I need to see him or something'
"Dude, Kimberly is so hot. I don't even know how Tommy got her." Curtis said. He always did have a little crush on Kimberly.
"Don't let Tommy hear that," Richie said seriously, "Tommy loves Kimberly a lot. He doesn't let anyone near her. Bulk and Skull know to stay away from Kimberly.
"Still doesn't stop them or any other guys from staring at her, " Curtis noted.
"Well Tommy's lucky, even if Kimberly wasn't his girl he would still have any pick of the ladies in school." Richie remarked back to Curtis.
"Whoa, are they that popular or something?" Kat asked.
"Kimberly and Tommy have been together for like two years now. From what my cousin said, it was love at first sight. They had a little spat when they first met, but after that they were attached at the hip. There are guys who like Kimberly and there are girls who like Tommy, but they don't care about that. No one has been able to get in between them." Curtis explained to Kat.
'Wow, I wish I had a boyfriend like that. And I remember when I used to be that girl that all the guys wanted.'
The bell rang, and that was it for the first period. Kat made her way to her locker and got out her book for her next class. 'There are a lot of people who go to this school.'
Kat made it through her next couple of classes easily. She liked that the teachers were a little more laid back than the ones in Australia. The students were really nice. She felt like she was adjusting really well. It was lunch time now. Kat decided to head home for lunch. She was old enough to go off campus, and since lunch was an hour long, she had plenty of time to make it home and back for her next class.
As she was walking home, she was cornered by a pack of Tengas. 'What the hell are these things?'
"Get away from me!", she shrieked. Kat tried to run away, but then they were able to capture her. She was taken back to the Lunar Palace where Lord Zedd and Rita would make her a pawn in their evil plan.

Moon- Lunar Palace
Unknown Time
Kat was laid out on a table. She was already sprinkled with some sleeping dust. Lord Zedd and Rita were excited and surprised to see that the Tengas had exceeded in something.
In an unknown language, Rita started to cast her spell. She put her heart and soul into the spell of Kat. What Rita didn't realize, was that Kat had been given some of Rita's resentment towards Tommy and jealousy towards Kimberly. After the spell was complete, Kat woke up. Her eyes started to flash hot pink.
Katherine pounced off the table. She was able to transform into a white kitty cat. Rita looked at her with excitement, this would definitely be the end of Tommy and Kimberly. Rita informed and showed pictures of the Power Rangers. Kat's eyes flashed hot pink when she saw
Tommy and Kimberly's pictures. Rita told Kat what she wanted from her. She wanted Kat to drive a wedge between Tommy and Kimberly. Then she needed Kat to steal Kimberly's power coin.
Kat transformed back to her human self, "Yes my Queen. Anything else?"
"Yes, I don't want this to start just yet. You just started school, it would be suspicious if these attacks started right away." Rita thought about this ahead of time. She didn't want her plan to be uncovered.

02:00 P.M.
Kat nodded then left to go back to school. The rest of the day seemed to linger on now. Kat had a job to do, but for some reason she hadn't ran into the "Power Couple" and their friends. Surely, she would have had at least one class with one of them right? 'Whatever, maybe they're ditching to save the world or something. How the hell do they get away from making sure their identities stay hidden? It's pretty obvious if you just go missing during a school day.' Kat couldn't help but roll her eyes.
Finally, the bell rang. Katherine headed out and went straight home. She tried to keep up her normal routine, so she wouldn't make her parents think anything. Kat's eyes flashed hot pink again, she would make sure Kimberly is taken care of. She knew Tommy would want to be with her eventually. As soon as Tommy would meet her, he would then fall in love with her.

Angel Grove Veterinary Hospital
04:13 P.M.
Aisha Campbell, Yellow Mighty Morphin Ninjetti Ranger, was at the Veterinary hospital she volunteered at. She loved animals, and the work she put in would look great on a college application. In the future, she hoped to become a Veterinarian, have a husband, 2.5 kids, a dog named "Bear", and maybe move back to Stone Canyon. She loved Angel Grove, but she missed her hometown. After all, Stone Canyon was where her, Adam Park, and her secret crush Rockford "Rocky" DeSantos came from. Rocky DeSantos was someone Aisha secretly liked. She hadn't told anyone, not even her best friend Kimberly Hart. Rocky was Aisha's complete opposite. He was more playful, joker, and all around "Human Garbage Disposal". Usually, he would talk right out of his ass, but for some reason Aisha found that attractive. He balanced her out in a good way.
The Doctor came over with a pure white, Persian kitty cat. Aisha looked at that cat in awe. The cat was gorgeous, not to mention seemed to be one of kind. "That's a gorgeous cat. You know, me and Kimberly have been looking for a pet." Aisha told the doctor.
"We just found the cat today. The cat was outside the front door. We decided to bring her in. She's already been checked, and has a clean bill of health. I'll tell you what, if no one adopts her by the end of the day tomorrow, you can adopt her." The doctor told Aisha. Aisha smiled brightly. She knew that since Kimberly had moved in with her and her family recently, that Kimberly was missing her family in Paris. After Kimberly's parents divorced, Kimberly's Dad resided in the east coast in New York City. Kimberly's mom then moved to Paris with her new fiancé. Kimberly was supposed to move to Paris, but she wanted to stay in Angel Grove with her friends. Kimberly also had an obligation to the Power Rangers, so that could be another reason she decided to stay.

Moon- Moon Palace
Time Unknown
Rita and Lord Zedd had put their plan into action. After several weeks of meticulous planning, it was time for Katherine to make herself known. First, she wanted Kat to be adopted by Aisha and Kimberly. As a cat, Katherine would be able to distract the two girls. Then Katherine, as her human self, will be able to lure Tommy away from Kimberly.
Rita was looking through her telescope at the Vet hospital Aisha volunteered at. Kat told Rita that Aisha would be able to adopt her, as long as no one adopted her by the end of the workday. Rita had to make sure her plan would stay on track. She ordered Rito and the Tengas to go to the Vet Hospital and distract the potential adoptees and the Rangers. Rito and the Tengas left to complete their mission.

Angel Grove, CA- Angel Grove Veterinary Hospital
04:59 P.M.
Tommy Oliver, White Mighty Morphin Ninjetti Ranger, Adam Park, Black Mighty Morphin Ninjetti Ranger, William "Billy" Cranston, Blue Mighty Morphin Ninjetti Ranger, Aisha Campbell, Yellow Mighty Morphin Ninjetti Ranger, Rockford "Rocky" DeSantos Mighty Morphin, Red Ninjetti Ranger, and Kimberly Hart Pink Mighty Morphin Ninjetti Ranger had just finished up a battle with Rito and the Tengas. Aisha's workplace had been attacked by Rito and his goons. For what reason, they didn't know.
"Okay what was that about?" Aisha wondered.
"Who knows when it comes to Rita and Lord Zedd. Not to mention the dummy Rito." Rocky stated. "I'm just glad you called the rest of us Aisha." Rocky gave Aisha a smile and a hug.
"Rocky! You know I could have handled myself, but after awhile there were too many of them. That's why I called you guys here."
"O come on Aisha you know you wanted me to rescue you. Become your Red Knight! Just say it Mama Bear." Rocky teased.
"Okay if you guys are done flirting," Kim interrupted, "then we can see if Aisha and I get to adopt the cat!" Kimberly was excited. She wanted a pet so bad, and when Aisha told her about the gorgeous, white cat, Kimberly couldn't help but get excited.
The Doctor told Aisha she would be able to adopt the cat. Everyone in the group was excited for the newest addition. They decided to name the cat, P.C. Short for Pussy Cat.
"Hey do you guys want to head over to the Youth Center?" Tommy asked the group.
Adam, Rocky, and Billy agreed to go. The girls decided to head straight home so they can take care of the cat and make sure they get the cat settled in.
Before the group separated Tommy asked Kimberly to come with him real quick. They walked a little bit away from the group, "Hey Kim, I was um… wondering… if you would like to go to the movie with me this Friday night?"
Kim started laughing, and looked at Tommy. Why Tommy would be so nervous to ask out his own girlfriend was beyond her. Tommy looked at her confused. "Tommy, you know I am going to say yes, why do you get so nervous every time you ask me out?
"I dunno, even after all this time I get nervous around you. It's not any easier than when I asked you to the dance and that was like a year or two back. Beautiful, if you only knew how you make me feel." Tommy told her, as he grabbed her hand.
Every time she heard Tommy called her 'Beautiful', it would give her butterflies in her stomach. They had been going out for almost two years now, and she couldn't help but laugh when Tommy got nervous. He was so respectful towards her. He never pushed her to do anything she never wanted to do. "Of course, I'll go out with you. Besides, I think we need a break." Tommy and Kimberly started kissing. First it was sweet then it became passionate.
"I thought we were leaving for the Youth Center! I'm hungry. Come on LoverBoy!" Rocky yelled.
Aisha smacked him upside the head, "What the heck are you thinking? Leave them alone. Just because you don't have anyone doesn't mean you have to interrupt them."
"Ow! 'Sha, what was that for?" Rocky demanded.
Aisha rolled her eyes then Rocky put his arm around her. "You know I love you 'Sha. One day I'll be your LoverBoy." He said with a wink.
Aisha couldn't help but get butterflies in her stomach, but she thought he was playing around.
Adam and Billy watched Aisha and Rocky with amusement. "When is Rocky going to tell Aisha he loves her?" Billy asked.
"When hell freezes over" Adam responded. Billy was shocked, he didn't think Adam had it in him to cuss.
"And what would make you come up with that conclusion?" Billy asked.
"Plain and simple, Rocky feels Aisha doesn't like him like that. He's scared to tell her how he feels." Adam stated. Rocky has always shown his interest in "Mama Bear", but he hasn't had the courage to tell her the truth. Adam would always get on Rocky's case about that. Rocky would tell Adam to mind his business because he hasn't met a girl who has made him fall IN love yet. Rocky was right, Adam hadn't met a girl that he thought he could develop strong feelings for. He's been on a couple dates in his young life, but they've never shown promise.
Tommy and Kimberly were still kissing, and the "cat" had looked over her "owner". Her eyes flashed hot pink. No one in the group noticed. After five more minutes, the group separated.

Friday, October 19
Angel Grove, CA- Campbell Household
05:57 P.M.
Aisha was sitting in her room. PC was on the couch cleaning herself. Kimberly came through the door. She was absolutely glowing with excitement. She was wearing sundress that had flowers on it, an open jean vest, and brown combat boots. She put half her caramel colored hair in a clip. She spun around for Aisha.
Aisha smiled at her best friend/spirit sister. "Girl, you know Tommy is going to flip when he sees you tonight."
"Well that is the plan you know. Between school, gymnastics, and Ranger duties it's so hard trying to spend time with him. I know he feels the same way." Kimberly had been more busy with gymnastics lately. She had a dream of going to the Pan Globals, maybe even one day the Olympics. "You deserve a break too, maybe you should invite Rocky and we can go for a double date," Kim said with a wink. She hated that her friends were dancing around each other's feelings.
Aisha blushed, "What the hell makes you even think I want the Ape? He's obnoxious, he doesn't even have manners, he talks out his ass,…."
"Yet you love him!" Kim interrupted. Kimberly put her hands on her hips, "Come on 'Sha it's so obvious both of you love each other."
"Okay so I love him, but that doesn't mean I am going to put myself on the line like that. He should come to me if he is interested. But he always talks about Jessica Stansfield and how hot she is. I am nothing like her." Jessica Stansfield, the girl who dates anyone and anybody at Angel Grove High School. She's been dubbed "Resident Hoe" according to the student body. Jessica wasn't an ugly girl, it's her reputation that made her sleazy. She was 5'7, big boobs, tiny waste, reddish hair, with auburn colored eyes.
"It's Jessica of course Rocky is going to think she's hot. She's easy." This statement made Aisha roll her eyes for what seemed like the third time in the conversation. "What I'm saying is, he knows you are better than her, but he just can't admit his feelings to you." Kim countered.
As Kim and Aisha kept discussing, Aisha's romantic woes, PC was able to sneak out. She snuck out the house to meet Rita. They needed to put the second part of the plan into action.
"Where's PC?" Aisha asked as she started looking around the room. "PC! PC! Where are you?"
Kimberly looked puzzled, then put her hand over her mouth. "Uh oh, I think I left the front door open. O shit, I hope she didn't get out."
"Hey girl, it's okay, we are going to find her don't worry." Aisha said trying to calm her down.
Both girls ran outside and realized they didn't know which way to turn. Kimberly was supposed to meet with Tommy for their date, but she felt finding PC was important. "Hey, I think I am going to try to get a hold of Tommy and let him know I'll be late for our date." Kimberly said.
"What! No! Don't I'll find PC you should go on your date with Tommy. You guys deserve it."
"Aisha, just let me help you find her. Tommy will understand."
Kim ran back into the house and to call Tommy. He wasn't at home, which means he was at the Youth Center. They were supposed to meet there for their date. Ernie was able to take down Kim's message. She then went to help Aisha look for the cat.

Angel Grove, CA- Youth Center
06:37 P.M.
Tommy waited at the Youth Center. Tonight he had a date with Kimberly. It was a long time coming. They've been so busy with other things. Tommy taught karate at the Youth Center part time, he also helped his Uncle John's racing company. Oliver and Company, was a successful racing team that had just developed. His Uncle was really excited about starting his racing team. He told Tommy that if ever wanted to try, just to let him know. Tommy was beginning to take an interest in cars.
Tommy and Kim were supposed to meet up at 06:15 P.M. The movie started promptly at 06:45. He looked at his watch again. He knew he had a problem with being forgetful, but his girlfriend? No way in hell is she like that. "Hey Ernie…." Ernie then walked over to Tommy. "Have you seen Kim? She's supposed to meet me for our date tonight."
"O shoot you know Tommy, Kim did call. She said, that she wanted me to tell you she was going to be late. Aisha and her were going to look for PC." Ernie explained to Tommy.
"Thanks Ernie you know I should just go…" Tommy was going to finish his sentence when a young lady tapped him on his shoulder.
"Excuse me," Kat started, "I'm new here, and I was wondering if you know anything about cars. You see my car has just broken down right in of the Youth Center." She looked at Tommy, he seemed to be contemplating whether or not he should go. 'Remember what Rita said. As long as Tommy agrees to be in the car with you, then he'll be sucked in another dimension. Not to mention Kimmy will think he's trying to take you out.'
"Um, I do know some stuff. My Uncle taught me, but I'm waiting for someone. They should be here soon." Tommy told her.
'Notice how he didn't say he was waiting for his girlfriend' Kat thought. 'Interesting'
"Please, with sugar on top?" Kat gave him a smile. She noticed that Tommy was going to comply. 'Ha, hook line and sinker. Where are you now Kimmy?'
"Let me tell Ernie, so he can tell my girlfriend to wait here for me until I get back ," Tommy told her. "By the way, I'm Tommy. You look familiar. Do you go to Angel Grove High School?"
'Damn it. He just said girlfriend. Where did that come from?' "Nice to meet you Tommy. I would hope I look a little familiar we have passed each other in the halls a couple of times. I just moved here from Australia."
"Hey Ernie, can you tell Kim I'll be back I am going to help Kat here with her car."
"Sure Tommy." Ernie said.
"So you're from Australia…" Tommy began as he walked outside with Kat.

Angel Grove, CA- Command Center
07:35 P.M.
The Rangers have been summoned to the Command Center. Zordon has informed them of the latest scheme brought by Rita and Zedd. Billy and Alpha were working feverishly trying to find where Tommy was.
"Okay, we still haven't found PC. I was getting mad at Tommy because I thought he stood me up. Now, I am finding out he's been captured and taken to another dimension?" Kim said frantically. She then started to bite her lower lip. It's been her signature habit.
"Hey Kim, don't worry we will find Tommy, " Adam said. Adam was always the level headed one of the group.
"KIMBERLY, MY YOUNG CRANE, WHY DON'T YOU USE YOUR SPIRITUAL LINK WITH TOMMY TO TRY AND FIND HIM," Zordon's voice boomed
After traveling to Phaedos to receive the Great Power, Dulcea informed them that if they have a bond that is very strong amongst one another, then they can communicate telepathically and sometimes they can meet in their minds and have face to face contact with each other. Out the group, Tommy and Kimberly were the only one's able to achieve this state. Zordon, Dulcea, and Ninjor had informed the both of them that this would likely happen. They are the "Winged Lady and Lord of the Skies". Even more, they are IN love, and their bond should be unbreakable.
"Okay Zordon I'll do it," Kimberly stated. Kimberly caught in a meditated state. "I am agile and graceful, I call upon the power of the Crane. I am the Winged Lady of the Skies and I am in search of my mate, Winged Lord of the Skies holder of the power of the Falcon." Kimberly began to glow pink.

Meanwhile- Tommy and Katherine. Another Dimension.
Kat and Tommy were sucked into another dimension. Tommy wasn't sure what was going on. On the other hand, Kat seemed to be terrified. She was clutching on to him as if life had depended on it. Tommy knew he had to be brave to make sure they came out of this.
'So, this is what it feels like to be next to him? His muscles feel amazing. Not to mention he smells good. Kimmy doesn't deserve him at all. She's short, stubby, and doesn't know how to handle Tommy. He needs a real woman and I will be the one he needs' Kat thought. She loved being this close to Tommy, and she didn't have to worry about his girlfriend or his friends interfering.
Then Kat noticed something, "Tommy, uh Tommy! Why are you glowing white?" Then she thought he was sleeping. 'What the fuck? Ugh. Rita didn't warn me about this!'

Tommy and Kim's State of Mind.
"Tommy?"
"Beautiful?"
"Where are you? And what happened?"
"I don't know where I am, but tell me is Billy and Alpha working to find me?"
"Yeah of course they are. Tell me what happened, I thought I told Ernie for you to wait for me to come to the Youth Center so we could go on our date."
"You did. I talked to Ernie before I went to help a classmate of ours with her car."
"Her car? Who is her?"
"Yes, Kat, she's new. She came here from Australia."
"So, let me guess this straight, you ditch me to help one of our classmates from Australia?"
"Kim, it's not what you think."
"What do you mean it's not what I THINK?" Kim was getting upset. Tommy was stuck in another dimension with another girl? Who the hell could he be stuck with?
(In the command center everyone noticed that Kim started glowing a darker shade of pink. Almost red. Adam, Rocky, Aisha, and Billy knew she was mad.)
"It's not what you think, now shouldn't we be using this time to try to find where I am?"
"Where you are? With another girl? THOMAS JAMES OLIVER!" Kim was losing her patience now.
Tommy winced at the sound of his full name. Tommy knew his girlfriend had a temper, but he hated when he was on the receiving end of it. "Beautiful, just help to find me, I think Rita has me in a dark dimension."
"O wow, you think? You might as well just stay there with Kat. I am sure she will keep you company."
"Kim, are you kidding me? Don't do this right now, the important thing is for you to find me so we can go on our date. Come one, Beautiful… Please?" He was trying to home he was calming her down.
"Fine!"

Angel Grove, CA- Command Center
07:50 P.M.
While Kim was trying to contact Tommy, Adam, Rocky, and Aisha were talking amongst themselves. When they noticed she turned red, they knew she upset.
"What do you think Tommy did?" Adam asked. Ever since they had received their Ninjetti Powers, and learning about the bond between Tommy and Kim, all the other Rangers knew that certain events can amplify their emotions.
"Well she did tell him to wait at the Youth Center for her. If he did what he was supposed to do then maybe he wouldn't be in this predicament." Aisha said.
"In response to Aisha's observation, she's made a very plausible hypothesis." Billy observed. Billy and Alpha had been working for the better part of half an hour looking for Tommy.
Kimberly finally woke up for her meditated state. Her eyes started glowing red. "Have you guys picked found Tommy yet? He's in one of Rita's dimensions with another girl!" Kimberly yelled.
"What do you mean with another girl?" Rocky asked shocked. He couldn't believe Tommy was with another girl. Who could this girl be? And how did that happen?
"EVERYONE CALM DOWN, I AM SURE ALPHA AND BILLY ARE DOING THE BEST THEY CAN TO BRING TOMMY'S IMAGE ON THE VIEW GLOBE" Zordon stated in hopes to calm Kimberly down. He knew Tommy was with another girl. He could sense the other girl's presence with his Falcon. There was something about the girl that made Zordon question her presence. He just couldn't put his finger on it. She seemed harmless enough.
"I've got a hold of Tommy's coordinates. It should be on the viewing globe now." Alpha said.
Everyone turned their eyes to the viewing globe. There they saw Tommy inside a black, Mustang Convertible. He looked calm enough. Then their eyes turned to the female companion. She was a light skinned girl, gorgeous, blue eyes, shoulder length blond hair. She was radiant.
"Whoa! Who's the babe?" Rocky exclaimed.
Aisha and Kim both smacked Rocky upside the head. "Hey! Why are you getting mad at me for? Shouldn't you be mad at "Fearless Leader" for being with another girl!" Rocky hissed to his female team mates.
"She looks familiar. I wonder where I have seen her from. What about you Billy?" Adam prodded.
"I think she's the new student from Australia who transferred in from the beginning of the school year. I remember Curtis, Zack's cousin, say something about her. I think her name Kate, or Karla or Kara." Billy said.
"Her name is Kat!" Kim hissed. She couldn't believe she could finally believe she saw Tommy and this other girl. She was frustrated as it was already. And to see the other girl, and she is really pretty, not to mention she's draped over her boyfriend's arm. This made her blood boil.
"Tommy is in trouble…" Rocky whispered to Adam and Billy. They both started to snicker at his comment.
Kim gave them a look. It was the "shut-the-fuck-or-I'll-kick-your-ass-too" look. All three of them calmed down.
Eventually, Tommy and Kat escaped the other dimension. Tommy and Kim fought all night. Kat tried to explain the situation to Kimberly. She kept telling Kim it was a misunderstanding. Tommy and Kim made up to Kat's dismay, but secretly, Kat loved they were fighting. Even more, she loved they were fighting about her. She reveled in the fact that Kim felt threatened by her.

Moon-Lunar Palace
Unknown Time
Lord Zedd and Rita were somewhat pleased with the process Kat was making. They decided that it would be best she wouldn't have to live a double life. Kat didn't have to transform into a cat anymore. She made used a spell to give Kimberly and Aisha a cat, so they wouldn't know the difference. Their next step in the plan, was to make Kimberly unable to fight in any battles. They wanted Kat to take her power coin in hopes of draining her energy, then capture her so they could drain her life force. This would definitely make Tommy suffer.
They also wanted to use Kat in hopes of capturing Tommy's prized Falcon Zord. Rita and Lord Zedd knew that the Rangers couldn't pilot their Zords without the leader's Zord.
Kat had started to form friendships with Kimberly and Aisha. She even noticed that Tommy, Rocky, Adam, and Billy were becoming her friends too. In the back of her mind, a part of her was still good. She was thankful to find a group of friends who accepted her. However, she was still evil. She liked being able to be close to them because her Queen wants it. Not to mention, becoming closer to Tommy wasn't a bad idea at all. 'Watching all the guys spar is really entertaining. Tommy's body glistening in sweat is hot. Especially when he takes off his shirt, it does make me swoon and want to take him right there and then. Billy has a nice body as well. For a geek, he is pretty tempting. Then there's Rocky, for someone who eats like 10,000 calories a day he has a great metabolism. His body is rock hard, but don't let Aisha hear from me. She has hear bear claws all up on him. Yet, they aren't dating? Ugh give me a break. If my job wasn't to get Tommy then maybe I would try Rocky. Then Adam, he's a sweetheart, but he's too gentle and doesn't seem to be interested in anyone."
"Zedd! I feel so sick!" Rita yelled. Rita had been looking a little green lately, and not because she was jealous. She really did look like she had the stomach flu or something.
"What's wrong my poisoned pumpkin?" Zedd queried. He had been sick of his wife's bitching, but he knew something could be potentially wrong.
"Get Finster. Make him look at me. I have a feeling there's something that's going to shock the hell out of all of us." Rita said.
Finster, their scientist/monster maker, he came from his room. He went to examine Rita and let her know he would be back with the test results.
Kat was sitting in her room, she had her own room in the Palace when she didn't want to be seen in public. Even though, she could stay in her own room at her house, she didn't want to. Living in the Lunar Palace, she kind of found solace. Her parents would always ask about her most recent mood swings, and why she has been missing classes lately. She really didn't care what they thought. She walked out of her room, when she saw Finster and Rita talking.
"Are you sure?" Rita asked. There was a hint of worry in her voice.
"Yes my Queen". Finster stated.
"How am I going to tell Lord Zedd?" Rita now started pacing on the floor. She couldn't believe this had happened.
"My Queen, if I may suggest, just let him know the situation." Finster said as he left the room.
'What the hell are they talking about? Since when does Rita look scared?' Kat thought. She let it go because it really was none of her business. Ten minutes later she was summoned to the main room.
"Kitty Kat the next phase of the plan is about to start. Take Kimberly's power coin. We will create a diversion for you."
"Yes my Lord and Empress." Kat said and she disappeared to the Youth Center.

Angel Grove, CA- Youth Center.
04:30 p.m.
It had been an abnormally hot day in October for the citizens of Angel Grove. Kat was in a sundress, wearing a sun hat, and sunglasses. She had been reading a magazine. Then she noticed Kimberly and Aisha heading over to her.
"Hey Kat. How are you doing today? We haven't seen you at school?" Aisha asked.
"Oh, sorry I've been sick. I didn't want to get you guys sick, so I haven't told you." Kat tried to explain.
Kimberly looked at her worried, "Really? We could have at least come by to bring you some soup or something."
Kat fake coughed, "No Kim, I'm getting better I promise."
"So Kat do you want to come with us to the beach?" Aisha said.
"Yeah Kat, it would be fun. Maybe fresh air would do you some good." Kimberly said with a smile.
'I wanna kick that smile off your face' Kat thought. "I dunno you guys, I mean I'm still feeling under the weather."
"Oh well I hope you feel better. Hey Kim we should pick up the sandwiches for the guys." Aisha said. The girls were picking up lunch for the crew. The guys would bring the beach towels, beach balls, and Frisbees. They even offered to pay for the rental for jet skis. It seemed like a fair trade off.
"So how many sandwiches are you buying for your man?" Kim joked.
Aisha rolled her eyes. Ever since Kim found out about Aisha's crush, she's been teased by Kim relentlessly. "Just be thankful I get a good allowance. What about you? How many are you buying for Tommy?"
"He actually gave me the money to pay for his lunch. He said he doesn't want me spending his money on him. I guess he's still making up for ditching me that night of our date." After Kat had left to go home that night, Tommy and Kimberly got into a heated argument about almost revealing their secret identities to a civilian. Kat had asked about why Tommy turned white when they were captured. Tommy turned pale white hearing that. He didn't have a good reason for what happened. Billy fortunately intervened, and was able to erase her memory of that happening. There was a lot of yelling, but they both apologized towards each other immediately.
Katherine interrupted them, "All the guys are going? Well then count me in. Tommy said he was going to show me a kata." 'He never said such thing, but I know the kind of guy he is. He won't deny me.'
Kim furrowed her brows, "Um… okay… well let's get the food then head towards the guys." She hadn't heard anything about Kat being interested in karate. This was all new to her.

05: 10 P.M.
"Where the hell have guys been I'm starving!" Rocky yelled to Kim and Aisha. "Oh, hey Kat what are you doing here?"
"Hey Rocky, well Kim and Aisha invited me. I decided to tag along." Kat explained.
"Yeah Ape Man, don't question why she's here. Besides I'm the one who bought your five foot long sandwiches so be nice." Aisha said. Rocky gave her a smirk. Aisha wanted to kiss that smirk off of him.
"Hey Mama Bear calm down, and you know I am always thankful for food." Rocky said with a wink.
'Could they be any more obvious? First of all they are calling each other by their Zords, and second of all they are so flirting!' Kat was getting annoyed with them.
"So why do you guys call each other Ape Man and Mama Bear?" Kat asked, even though she already knew the answer.
"They've been calling other that since they were little." Adam said as he laughed nervously.
"Well lets hit the water!" Kim said. Tommy came up to her, and they kissed for what seemed like forever. "Wow, not that I don't mind, but what was that for?"
"For being a jerk the last time we had a date and to say I missed you." Tommy and Kimberly haven't been seeing each other a lot recently. Besides meeting up for battles and school, there hasn't been any time after school or any more dates. Tommy has been getting a little more involved with his Uncle's racing team. He may even start driving soon. Before that happens, Tommy has to learn the ins and outs of a race car.
Kat watched on in disgust. She was glad her sunglasses were on her face. Her eyes began to flash hot pink. 'What the hell? Don't those two ever stop making out?'
The boys were in the water, while Aisha and Kimberly were on a paddle boat. They all waved to Kat who decided to stay on the sand. 'Okay, where the hell are the Tengas? Shouldn't they be attacking now. Where is the diversion?'
Five minutes later, the Tengas began attacking. The Rangers yelled for Kat to run away. She played along for now. As the Ninjetti started attacking the Tengas, Kat made her way to get Kimberly's power coin. There were several obstacles encountered, like Bulk, Skull and Lt. Stone. 'What the fuck? Now I am absolutely aggravated.' Kat wanted to get this over with. She used a little magic to knock out the three guys. Then made her way to Kimberly's backpack. She took her coin and a picture. She looked at the picture, it was of Tommy and Kimberly holding hands. They looked so happy. 'Not for long, I will get him Kimberly.'
Quickly Kat disappeared.

Lord Zedd and Rita were ecstatic. They were celebrating their latest prize. A Crane Power Coin. They were celebrating. Drinks were passed around, but Lord Zedd was upset that his wife wasn't drinking. He didn't question it because he knew the Pink Princess was slowly losing her power and pretty soon her life.
Kat too had noticed that Rita wasn't drinking the usual celebratory drink. 'Does this have to do with what I overheard her and Finster talking about?' Kat couldn't help but stare. 'Is that possible? Is there such a thing for that to happen with him?' She couldn't help but feel sick over she was thinking. She brought out of her thoughts, Lord Zedd wanted her to capture the Falcon Zord. She complied, and brought the Zord back.

Angel Grove, CA- Command Center
11: 00 A.M.
The events following the theft of Kimberly's power coin and the Falcon Zord had handed the Power Rangers some hefty blows. In addition, they couldn't pilot the other Zords without the Falcon Zord. This was upsetting to the team. Everyone was feeling some type of drain, no one worse than Tommy though. After Kimberly started suffering withdrawals from the Power, so did Tommy. He felt sick to his stomach. He knew this had to do with him and Kimberly's bond. He wanted his Zord, his girlfriend's power coin but at the same time he needed his girlfriend back. She was taken yesterday. Zordon had informed the Rangers that Kimberly went to go save their friend Kat. She had been surrounded by a flock of Tengas. Even though, Kimberly tried her best, she was losing energy quickly and her body gave out.
Tommy was upset, he didn't know what else to do. He had been pacing, sparring with Adam, Rocky, and Billy, he tried to take his mind off of his girlfriend being in the hands of Lord Zedd. He wanted to Jason to let him know what the hell was going on, but he knew he couldn't. He didn't want to worry Jason, Trini, or Zack. They were busy with the Peace Conference in Switzerland.
On the plus side, the Power Rangers had gained the Shogun Zords. These would become useful in the future. Eventually, they would get their other Zords back, but for now these would do.
Tommy made a decision. He needed to go save his girlfriend. No matter what it took, he needed save her. Billy agreed to use the "Port A Coms" from when they had tried to get the Green Candle a couple of years back. Zordon went against this idea because he was worried about the dangers involved. However, looking at his Falcon he couldn't help but be proud. The determination on his face let Zordon know that everything was going to be fine.
Watching the viewing globe, Zordon watched the fight happening between Tommy and Lord Zedd. They battled heavily, and Tommy came out supreme. He was about to rescue Kimberly and took her back to the Command Center. That's where she was now.
Slowly Kimberly started to wake up, "What happened?"
"Hey Beautiful, how are you feeling?" Tommy asked. The worry in his eyes started to make Kimberly worry for him.
"I'm okay I guess. I just feel really tired." Kimberly said as she took a yawn. She really wanted to sleep some more.
"You were taken by Lord Zedd, he started to drain your life force. Tommy had to go in and save you." Rocky told her.
Kimberly looked at Tommy like he had grown two heads. "You went to battle Lord Zedd? By yourself? Thomas James Oliver are you crazy?" Kim questioned him.
Adam and Billy laughed. Even with Kimberly feeling weak, she was still able to lecture Tommy somehow. "Nice to have you back Kim." Adam said.
"RANGERS, AFTER THE EVENTS OF WHAT HAPPENED, IT IS IMPORTANT THAT I CUT KIMBERLY'S TIES TO THE MORPHING GRID. WITH THE LOSS OF HER POWER COIN, SHE PROBABLY WON'T BE ABLE TO FIGHT WITH FULL STRENGTH. IT'S EVIDENT THAT SOME OF YOU HAVE SUFFERED AS WELL." Zordon had stated especially to Tommy.
"But Zordon," Aisha began, "what's going to happen all the other times we have to engage in battle. We don't even know how to get her power coin back."
"MY YOUNG BEAR DO NOT WORRY, WE WILL FIND A WAY WHEN THE TIME COMES. FOR NOW WE SHOULD LET THE CRANE REST. I AM CUTTING HER TIES NOW. KIMBERLY WHEN THIS HAPPENS YOU WILL FEEL EXTREMELY TIRED. GO STRAIGHT HOME AND GET REST." Zordon commanded.

Saturday, November 10
Angel Grove, CA- Angel Grove Hospital
01: 21 P.M.
Kat Hillard had been through a lot since she first moved to Angel Grove. At first, she hadn't wanted to move here. She didn't have a choice in the matter. Now she really did wish she hadn't moved here. It had been a couple of days since she had been released from the evil clutches of Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa, and now she was feeling guilty for all the things she had done. She had taken Kimberly's Power Coin, Tommy's Falcon Zord, she felt responsible for the capturing of Ninjor. Katherine had felt awful for everything. Especially, for being in lust with Tommy. She knew Tommy and Kimberly have been together for awhile, but having Rita's evil spell bestowed upon her made him want him and disregard anything else. Now here she was at the hospital about to visit Kimberly. She couldn't help but think about what landed Kim in the hospital.
Flashback
After being caught off from the Morphing Grid, Kim felt like she was a back up Ranger. She didn't know why she deserved this, but she knew if she didn't calm down with Ranger duties she could suffer a deadly fate. Instead, she just continued with her gymnastics. She heard world renowned gymnastics coach, Günter Schmidt, was in town. Tommy encouraged her to meet with him. Maybe she could coach Kimberly to be Pan Global ready. Unfortunately, fate had different plans for her. Bulk, Skull, and her were captured by a monster while on a wacky car chase hoping to capture the person who stole Kimberly's car.
A couple of days after, Kimberly was practicing at the Youth Center. Of course Tommy was there to watch her. Gunter Schmidt had taken notice of Kimberly. He made her an offer and she couldn't refuse. He would start coaching her right away so she could compete for the Pan Globals. With this offer, came a lot of extra practice. Kimberly's life had become hectic. The Power Rangers decided it would be best for her to concentrate on her dream. Which she did, but she still felt bad for letting her friends down. Kimberly practiced day in and day out. Coach Schmidt was really impressed with her.
But, Kimberly was still suffering from the withdrawal of her Power Coin. Then there were the grueling practices with Coach Schmidt that didn't help her much.
Then all Hell broke loose. Even though Kimberly was an absentee Ranger, there was a battle that needed all six Rangers. She was worried that Coach Schmidt would question where she was going, but she knew she couldn't let her team down. When she met up with her team, they were getting a beating. They came together to and were able to defeat their foe.
Tommy dropped Kimberly off, he wasn't sure she should practice after the events of today. But he knew his girlfriend, she wanted her dream to come true. They kissed goodbye. Kimberly went inside to start practicing. She was feeling woozy and lightheaded, but she shook it off.
Kat had been feeling extremely guilty lately. Everything that led up to that day had been weighing on her heart heavily. That's when something in her snapped. The spell that was placed on her weakened severely. She needed to find Kimberly, and she needed to make sure she was okay. Kat ran into the Youth Center, and that's when she saw Kim fall off the balance beam. She screamed, she didn't know what to do or how to explain, but she needed to get her to the hospital fast.
Kimberly was rushed to the hospital. Aisha's parents were called first, they were Kim's guardians. Aisha started crying because her friend could suffer more than a lost dream. Tommy was distraught, he knew something was wrong. He felt it, and he kept saying how he should have stayed. Billy had been Kim's friend the longest, and he kept pacing back and forth in the waiting room. Adam and Rocky came to support their friends. They, too, were worried about Kim, but they had to stay strong for their friends' sake. Rocky went to comfort Aisha. They held each other for awhile. Adam put his hand on Tommy's shoulder.
Kat was filled with guilt, she decided to tell the group the truth. She had been turned evil, she was the one who stole Kim's Power coin, the Falcon Zord, even aided with Ninjor being stolen. She cried in front of them, and hoped they could forgive her for what happened. Aisha held out her hand in friendship and understanding, Billy, Rocky, Adam, and finally Tommy accepted her into the group. Kat promised to keep their identities a secret.
Kimberly was awake, the gang had informed her of why Kat was the one to find her. Kat apologized profusely to Kim. Kim accepted her apology. Kat was shocked, why would Kimberly accept her apology so quickly? Kim explained, "Tommy started off evil too. He made his mistakes, but I don't let him dwell on it and neither should you."
The gang ended up leaving. Outside the hospital they were attacked by Rito and the Tengas. Kat had been captured. They were using her as collateral for the Rangers to give up the Shogun Zords.
While the battle was going on, Coach Schmidt had visited Kimberly. He had told her, the Doctors said she would make a full recovery. If you still want to train for the Pan Globals, the offer is still on the table.
Kimberly had a lot to think about. She had two options, leave the power, her friends, and her boyfriend behind or follow her dream for the Pan Globals?
(End Flashback)
Kat walked into Kim's hospital room. Kim was looking outside the window.
"Hey Kim, how are you feeling?" Kat asked.
Kim smiled a small smile, "I'm okay. I have a lot of think about."
"Need a friend?" Kat questioned as she sat on a chair.
Kimberly thought and thought and about what she should do. She had come to a decision, but she wasn't sure how everyone was going to take it. "I need a favor," Kim started and Kat nodded, "I have a chance to compete in the Pan Globals. This has been my dream since I was a little girl. I want to pursue it. I really do, but I have obligations here. Important obligations. I am going to bring up my dilemma to our friends. I am pretty sure they are going to force me to go. If that does happen, I want you to take my place as the Pink Ninjetti Ranger."
Kat was surprised, how could she do that? 'Do I want to be a Power Ranger?' "Kim, are you sure? I know you want to train for the games, but are you sure you want me to replace you?"
"Kat, you have more than proven what it is to be a Power Ranger. A Pink at that. I know that beyond the evil spell you do have the heart of gold. You are brave, I mean you helped to get my Power Coin back. I trust you, I know you can do this." Kim told her. Kimberly believed in Kat.
Kat was speechless, she didn't know what to say to Kimberly. She thought about it for some time and spoke up, "If you want me to, I'll do it."

Thursday, December 25th
Sydney, Australia- Grandma and Grandpa's House
01:17 P.M.
The Hillards decided to visit home for the holidays. Kat was elated to be home with her old friends and of course her family. Her life had changed while she had been in Angel Grove. She was a loner, became evil, and then she became a Power Ranger. Most of all she gained amazing friends. Her friends helped her adjust quickly to becoming a Power Ranger, but she admit she has been having some trouble. Kimberly's Crane Zord, and her don't seem to get a long at times. Sometimes Kat has to talk to the Zord to let her know she's not trying to take Kimberly's place.
Kimberly became Kat's really good friend in a short amount of time. She was happy that Kimberly got to come to visit Angel Grove for a couple of weeks. They were even able to talk through the viewing globe to check on each other. Kat was really happy with the way her life had become. She wondered what next year would bring for her.
