Tommy helped Kimberly home with all of the shopping bags. And he helped her put her new stuff in the closet. He really liked all of his new friends. After they had dinner, Tommy wanted to relax in the hot tub with Kimberly.

"Kim, do you want to get in the hot tub?"

"I'd love to."

She got out her new bikini and Tommy got out his crimson shorts and white tee. They went into the bathroom and changed. Tommy turned on the hot tub and got it ready. Once it was ready, they both got in. Tommy put his arm around Kimberly.

"What did you think about the rangers?"

"Kim, I really did like them. What about you?"

"I really enjoyed getting to know Shelby and Kendall. They helped me pick out clothes at the mall."

"I saw you had a lot of stuff. It must have been nice to go shopping with friends."

"That was something that Aisha and I used to do. Remember, we went to the mall everyday?"

"How could I forget."

"I wonder how Aisha is doing? I miss her."

"I know you do, Beautiful. I miss Rocky, Adam and Billy too."

"We're still going to the beach tomorrow, aren't we?"

"Of course, we are. I want us to have some time to ourselves."

They spent an hour in the hot tub; then got ready for bed. The next morning Tommy got up early. He packed two beach towels, a beach umberella, sun screen, and sun glasses. Kimberly woke up an hour later. She went to the closet and pulled out her summer overalls,her yellow bandeau one piece suit, and her yellow opened toed dress sandals. Tommy put on green shorts, and a white tee. They walked out of their apartment and went to the beach. It wasn't very crowded, so they were able to find a place to put their beach towels and umbrella. Kimberly took off her overalls and put them on her towel. Then they went into the water and swam for a few hours. She really enjoyed having some alone time with Tommy. Tommy noticed it was getting warmer. He realized that they didn't put on any sun screen. He asked Kimberly if she'd care if they went back to the shore for awhile.

They went back to the shore line. Tommy spread both of their towels out and put them close together. He handed Kimberly her sunglasses and she put them on. Then he put his sun glasses on. They laid close together under their umbrella. It was almost like the beach at Angel Grove.

All of a sudden a pink lollipop monster appeared on the beach. Tommy and Kimberly quickly morphed into the yellow and crimson rangers.

"We have new rangers!" gasped Poisandra. "You look like a cute couple. Is he like Sledge? Sledge promises to marry me. He keeps putting it off. Yellow Ranger, has the Crimson ranger promised to marry you?"

"We're already married!" answered Kimberly angrily.

"You seem to be way too young to marry, "remarked Poisandra. "You should be in school. What did you do? Did you drop out of school and run away together? You've ruined your life. You've missed getting an education, you'll never go to college, you'll never amount to anything. All you will have is a million kids that you can't support. Is the crimson ranger going to be faithful to you? If he finds someone better, he'll leave you. But if he stays with you, you will only have him and nothing else."

"Stop talking to my wife like that!" demanded Tommy.

"I see you don't like it," remarked Poisandra. "You aren't much fun, I'll see you later."

Poisandra disappeared. Tommy and Kimberly demorphed. Kimberly requested to go home. Tommy knew that Poisandra made her feel bad. He picked up their stuff and they walked back to their apartment. As soon as they got in, Kimberly went straight to bed.

"Kim, are you okay?" asked Tommy.

"Yeah, Tommy, I'm okay," lied Kimberly.

"You didn't even bother to change your clothes. Are you sure you're okay?" Tommy asked. "I can get in bed with you."

"No, its okay," answered Kimberly.

"If you are sure, I told the boys that I'd meet them at the beach," explained Tommy. "I told them yesterday that I'd play Frisbee with them."

"This was suppose to be our day!" yelled Kimberly.

"I know," answered Tommy. "I told them that I'd call them, when we got back home. Are you really sure, that there is nothing bothering you?"

"I'm sure," lied Kimberly.

Tommy walked out of the room. Kimberly got out of bed and turned on the hot tub. She wanted time to herself; she didn't even want Tommy around. Tommy went down to the beach. Koda, Tyler, Riley, and Chase were waiting for him.

"You don't look too well," gasped Tyler. "You were fine yesterday, when we went to the basketball court."

"Is there something wrong with you?" asked Koda.

"I'm fine," Tommy answered. "I am worried about Kimberly.

"Did you two have a fight?" asked Riley. "I thought you two were going to the beach. Did something happen?"

"We were having a good time," explained Tommy. "Then a lollipop monster appeared on the beach."

"You are talking about Poisandra," stated Chase. "What did she do?"

"She started insulting Kim," explained Tommy. "She told Kimberly she was too young to get married, she asked her if she dropped out of high school, she'd never go to college, she wouldn't amount to anything, and she'd have house full of millions of children."

"Did she say anything else?" asked Tyler.

"Poisoandra asked Kim if I was faithful to her. She told Kim if I found someone better I'd leave her," replied Tommy. "Then she told her if I stayed with her, she'd only have me."

"That's what is wrong with Kimberly!" declared Koda. "I'm from the past and I lived in the prehistoric times. I left everything behind, even my little brother."

"Tommy, Kimberly is scared," explained Riley. "Yesterday, you told us about Ivan Ooze and the situation you are both in."

"I remember what you said," gasped Chase. "You told us that you two dated for three years. And you told us that you two eloped."

"Why would Kimberly be scared?" asked Tommy. "I came with her. She hasn't said anything to me about it."

"Kimberly got scared, when Poisoandra asked her if you were going to be faithful," answered Koda. "She's afraid that you'll leave her. When Poisoandra told Kim, if you stayed with her, all she'd ever have would be you. That must have scared her."

"Why would she be upset?" gasped Tommy. "She knows that I love her."

"How would you feel, if Poisoandra told you all those things?" asked Tyler.

"The same way she's feeling," admitted Tommy. "She is all I have."

"Tommy, go to Kimberly," ordered Tyler. "She needs you."

Tommy realized they were right. He left his new friends and returned home. When he got back to the apartment, he went straight to their bedroom. She wasn't in the bed. He noticed the bathroom door was open. Tommy walked in and saw she was in the hot tube. He was still wearing his white tee and crimson shorts. Tommy took of his white tee. He pitched it in the corner.

"Kim, care if I join you?"

"If you must."

Tommy got into the hot tub. He put his arm around her. He noticed that she didn't have anything on her back. It dawned on him that her suit was strapless.

"Do you want to talk about anything?"

"Tommy there is nothing to talk about."

"Kimberly, yes there is. I know that you were hurt by Poisandra's insults."

"How would you feel if you were told that you were too young, you threw away graduating from high school, you'd never go to college, you'd have millions of children, and wouldn't amount to anything?"

"Beautiful, we're going to get a high school education, even if we have to get a GED. We're going to college. We've had that talk before, we were going to the same college. We aren't going to have millions of children. We've decided that we don't want to have kids. It doesn't matter if we have children or not. I'm not going to leave you, you were the only girl I ever wanted to date and marry."

"Poisandra said that you would be all that I'd ever have."

"For right now, that maybe true. But, we're going to have a good life together. Even if we go back to our time or spend the rest of our life in the future."

Kimberly laid her head on Tommy shoulder. She also put her arm around him.

"Tommy, what will you do if Ivan finds us? I don't want him to separate us, like he did before. Ivan tortured me with his ooze, magic, and flute. That's why I had all the cuts, scrapes and bruises."

"He won't take you way."

"How can you be sure?"

"I've decided to purchase hand cuffs. I'll carry them with me. If he comes, I'll handcuff us together."

"But, then he'd have you too. I don't want you to go through the torture. His ooze is very powerful. It can burn skin. When Ivan used his ooze on me, I was pinned to the wall and couldn't move. Tommy, I tried to scream. Ivan threw some of the ooze on my mouth. I couldn't scream or do anything."

"Kim, he's never going to hurt you again. Well, if he does, you'll have me with you."

Kimberly was relieved that she had Tommy with her. But, she feared Ivan would find them. She promised herself that she'd take care of Tommy, just like he promised to protect her.
