White to the Rescue

Tommy transported out of the command center in search of Kimberly, he still had to explain about Kat kissing him and to have her contact Aisha in case any similar attack befell her. She would need to be expecting it. At least Trini, and Zack hadn't been with them when they had become Ninja's. It seemed the ninja's bonded with the person rather than the power coin. He found Kimberly's car and walked toward her. He watched as she got out and frowned. She saw him and smiled, as she waited for him to join her. "Hey, Kim, I have a message from Zordon," he dug in his pocket for a familiar communicator.

"He wants you to have it, as our ninja ranger."

"Oh, Tommy," she stated. "So I really am back."

"Only if you want to be."

"We need to talk, Kim."

"I know. But my car won't start."

"Let me take a look at it." Kim popped the trunk and admired the view as Tommy began checking on it. She really had missed this, this comfortable yet all-consuming love.

"Well, it's not the engine," he stated wiping his hands on a cloth in his back pocket. She smiled at the familiar gesture. He walked around the car, and noticed something in the tailpipe. "What's this?" Kimberly followed him.

"What is it?" she asked, peering down. Tommy pulled out five potatoes.

"These don't do what people think they would do. Most people assume, wrongly, that it would cause the engine to explode but all it does is block it."

"You mean someone was trying to hurt me?"

"Possibly. Do you have any enemies?"

"You mean besides Goldar, putties, Rita, Lord Zedd and the new monster of the week." Tommy smiled.

"Should be good as new. Do you want me to drive?"

"Sure, Handsome," she said with a smile as she got in the passenger's seat.

"So what did you and Kat talk about."

"I told her that I was back and you were mine."

"Oh, am I now?" he asked reaching over to tickle her. She laughed and he stopped as she rested her head on his shoulder as he turned into his driveway. "I missed this," he replied.

"Me too. I can never tell you how sorry I am."

"I know," he added, reaching down and kissing her lips.

"So what am I now? Your girlfriend? An honorary power ranger?"

"They aren't sure yet. But you are definatly my girlfriend. Right now, you are a ninja ranger, you always have been. Zordon and Alpha aren't sure how to even take it away."

"Do they want to take it away?"

"That's up to you Kimberly. But you will always be my Crane."

"Tommy?"

"Hmmm..."

"Do you wanna go inside?"

"Yeah," he stated, and they walked in the door hand in hand, leaning into each other.

"Do you want to tell me what happened with Kat?" she asked when they sat on the couch inside.

"She kissed me. That was it, Kimberly. I told her I wasn't interested in anyone but you," he said and she smiled, and leaned back so that her head was on his chest and his arm was wrapped around her waist. "I'm never letting you go. I-" And his communicator went off.

"Tommy, we need you and Kimberly, at the command center."

"Me?" Kimberly asked perplexed.

"Yes, we will explain everything when you get here."

"Alright, we're on our way," Kimberly said.

"It's morphing time," Tommy stated as they reached for their morphers.

"Crane," she stated trying out her power coin as the pink enveloped her.

"TigerZoid," he stated and they were changed into a pink ninja and a white power ranger. "You look good, Kim."

"Right back at you handsome," she stated as she held onto his hand and transported to the command center.

"Kimberly, you need to contact Aisha."

"Sorry Zordon," Tommy replied.

"It's understandable, Tommy. There are monsters attacking Angel Grove. Kimberly what do you remember about these monsters?"

"Ugh, it's my mother's purse and lipstick," she frowned. "I thought we defeated them already?"
