Replies to reviews for Chapter 1. Please read.
fieldhockeygirl352 – Well, here's chapter 2. I do know there was an episode dedicated to Thuy after her death. I don't remember what season it was off the top of my head.
oldtvlover – Here's more.
Re lighting – Here's the update you asked for.
Shadow Shauwna – Hi ya. Tommy and Kimberly were in the first three season of the show. What you're thinking about is MightyMorphinPowerRangers. After that was PowerRangersZeo. This story takes place between Turbo:APowerRangersMovie, which was between Zeo and PowerRangersTurbo. Hope that helps.
brankel1 – I can't see them with anyone else. I had to fix it. Don't know about Jason and Kat. I'm not really working on that. Really the main characters of this story are Tommy, Kim, and David.
Ghostwriter – Thanks.
NANLIT – Thanks. I've gone back and fixed that problem.
OXOXOXO
I want to admit something. I didn't really watch Zeo. I sorta stopped watching after Kim left. I did catch a few episodes and I can even at that age I was upset at the fact they were trying to get Tommy with Kat.
I'm having some trouble deciding on what tribe to make Tommy and David. I know that a few have done them as Navajo. I know that they are one of the best known tribes, but I'm thinking of making them members of a tribe that's reservation is half in California and Arizona. I'm assuming that Angel Grove in close to southern California, cause of the desert, but near the Sierra Nevada mountains. If you live in California, please help if anything is wrong.
I'm doing the time line sorta like it was for me when I graduated High school.
Hope you all watched "Wild West Rangers", cause I'm going to use it a bit. You might find it on YouTube or if you have instant streaming on Netflix you can find every episode of Power Rangers there.
I'm working on this as I'm planning my Thanksgiving story for Labyrinth. I will also be writing it as I'm doing this one.
LOL. I know this is a long AN, but you all need to know stuff.
Oh, I changed the time Tommy's coming to pick Kim up to more around lunch. I don't know for sure how long it would really take to get there, but I'm thinking at the point Tommy's going to find a way to make it where him and Kim have a good amount of time alone.

Chapter 2
The afternoon sun beat down on Kim's head as she stood in a pair of cut off jeans and an old pink tank top with two duffel bags and a small cooler beside her feet on the drive way of the Scott house, watching Tommy pull up in his Jeep.
Lifting her bags, Kim gave a half smile as Tommy hopped out wearing a white t shirt, jeans, and a red bandana on his head. "Well, you're earlier than I thought you'd be."
Tommy laughed as he walked over to her. "But I'm still late."
Handing him one of the bags, Kim laughed, too. "When haven't you been late?" Kim then reached down and grabbed the cooler.
Tommy lead Kim to the Jeep. "I can think of a few. I'm getting better. At least, I'm only a few minutes late and not an hour."
Kim nodded. "True."
Tommy placed the first bag in the back seat of the Jeep. Then he took the other one from her and finally the cooler, doing the same. "We're not doing too bad. David has been warned about my memory." Tommy moved to allow Kim to get in.
Kim got into the passenger's seat, shut the door, and buckled up as Tommy walked back to the driver's side. Once Tommy was back in the seat and buckled, Kim sighed.
"What tribe are you and David members of?"
Tommy laughed as he cranked the Jeep. "I don't know. I've never asked."
"So you don't even know which Reservation it is?"
Tommy looked at her. "Oh, I know that. I just don't know what tribe."
"How do you know that with your memory?"
"I've got it on a card in my wallet."
"Do you have your wallet?"
"Yes, Kim. I tripled checked to be sure."
"Okay. Good thing I called your mom this morning and got David's number in case we need it."
Tommy steered the Jeep back out of the drive way and onto the street. Smiling, he glanced at her and he put the Jeep into gear.
"We'll be fine. When have I ever gotten lost?"
"I can think of at least two times, and it was a good thing I had a number then, too."
Tommy laughed. "If we get lost, you can call, but I'm not that bad."
"Tommy, sometimes you would forget your head if it wasn't screwed on."
"I'm working on it."
Kim grinned. "I know, but don't get rid of it completely. You wouldn't been you if you didn't forget sometimes." Kim glanced over at him. "What about lunch?"
"We'll stop somewhere. What's in the cooler?"
"Mostly bottled water. I've got some trail mix, too."
"Great, I forgot to eat breakfast."
"I figured that." Kim leaded back into the seat after turning the radio on.
XOXOX
Tommy glanced over at the sleeping Kimberly. They were almost at the Reservation. Kim had fallen asleep after they had stopped and had lunch lunch at a little place off the highway.
It felt like the old days. They acted like they were still more than friends, which he had to admit was better than he thought, but he had to pull himself back when he felt the urge to kiss her. He was taking her to meet David for more than one reason. What ever he learned about his birth family, he wanted her there by his side. How would David react to the fact he brought her? He hadn't exactly called ahead to say he wasn't coming alone. Actually, in normal Tommy fashion, he hadn't called his brother at all.
Kim was more family than anyone else, even Jason. She knew him better than anyone, including himself. So she had to still know that he wanted to … That had to be one of the reason her mother had told her to write the letter, but now was not a good time to think about it. Shaking his head, Tommy looked ahead. They were still at the friend stage, but hopefully after this trip they would be at the next one. And maybe they could reach the stage he had been at a year ago, because he still couldn't see her not beside him for the rest of his life.
Well, there's chapter 2. Hope you enjoyed it. I could actually see Tommy getting lost and Kim having to call someone to get them to where they were going, at least a few times, but of course he could then smile that smile that we love.
I read on line that Thuy wasn't wearing her seat belt in the crash that caused us to lose her. So please people buckle up, that's why I made sure that these two did. That's something we can learn from losing the original Yellow Ranger.
Now review if you please.
