A/N: Okay I don't own anything and I hope that everyone likes this new chapter.

Kim heard the catch of breath behind her before she turned. She knew that she would find Tommy still there.

"Tommy!" She said to herself as she started toward him.

"Princess, wait." Rito said her as Zordon came out of the house.

"Stop calling her that out here. I have worked too hard to protect her." Zordon said close to Rito's face. He had to bend over to speak that low to him. He then turned and saw the heartbreak in Kim's stride. She wanted to protect this boy more than herself and that scared him. This boy could be used against her if anyone ever found out about her love for him.

"Kimberly?" He called as she neared the boy. He didn't know what his name was but he would have to watch him too. It would be the only he could protect her.

"Tommy." She said as she neared him. She saw the look in his eyes and it hurt.

"Yes or no, Kim." He said to her and she knew what he wanted to know. She sighed before looking back up at him. She would give him the whole truth even if it broke her heart.

"Yes." She said simply and waited to see what he would do next. She only had to wait a few seconds before he wrapped his arms around her and brought her close. There was more to this story than he knew and the only way to find out was to ask her.

"I think that we need to go in the house to talk." He said into her hair before pulling back from her.

"Okay." She said as she grabbed his hand and led him into the house. Zordon and Rito were waiting for them in the kitchen at the table. Kim glared at Alpha before leading Tommy over to the two empty chairs.

"Princess, why is he here?" Rito asked her.

"First of all, please stop calling me Princess. I am in protection and you are just blowing my cover and secondly he has earned the right to sit beside me. He deserves to know the truth about me since his life maybe in danger because of your mouth." Kim said as Zordon nodded.

"I am sorry, Isabella." Rito said.

"Her name is Kimberly for the time being and who sent you?" Zordon asked him.

"Princess Protection Program sent me." He said sitting up straighter.

"If they sent you then you already know that she is called by her middle name then. You only wanted to test me. The question I want to know is why? I have served this family since she was a baby." Zordon said as Kim looked over at Tommy. This was all new to him but he was sitting there calmly waiting for the story that she had promised him.

"I am to see that the Princess is being protected. I have to question you and those close to her." Rito said running his hand down his tie once more.

"I think that they both have said not to call her Princess for her safety and now I am telling you. Her name is Kimberly." Tommy quietly said. Kim turned to look at him again while Zordon smiled. He liked this boy.

"Who are you?" Rito asked Tommy.

"His name is Tommy and he is my boyfriend." Kim said as Tommy smiled. He liked the sound of her saying that he was her boyfriend.

"As you can see Kimberly is safe but if someone finds her because of you then you will have me to deal with." Zordon said in low tones. Rito looked over at the Princess before turning back to Zordon. He nodded and stood up to leave. He had to meet Scorpina to inform her that he had found the princess.

"I believe that you own this boy an explanation." Zordon said to Kim as she nodded while he stood up to walk out.

"Okay well first, Tommy this is my body guard slash guardian, Zordon. He has been with me since I was a baby. Zordon, this is Tommy." She said as Tommy stood up to shake Zordon's hand. It was a sign of respect that Zordon liked.

"Tommy, it is nice to finally meet you." Zordon said to him as Tommy nodded before sitting back down. Zordon then walked out of the room to leave them alone. This would be hard for her but she had to do it.

"Okay first let me say that I was going to tell you when I felt that you were safe." She said as he took her hands in his.

"I am safe." He said to her. She took a deep breath as she looked into his soulful brown eyes.

"No you won't be after I tell you this. My mother was born and raised here in Angel Grove. She and Jason's mom were best friends. It wasn't until she went to college that she met my father. She didn't know that he was the Crown Prince of Cordova. In fact she didn't find that out until she landed in his country to meet his parents after they were engaged. She loved my father though and stayed in Cordova and became Queen. My country has a dark past though. There was once two ruling families and they made the people decide who would rule. The people chose my family and the other family was banished. They are the Lunars. There is a legend that the Lunars could come back into power when a Crown Princess is chosen. There has only ever been one Crown Princess before me." Kim said taking a breath.

"What happened to her?" Tommy asked her in fear. This was not his idea of a princess fairy tale. It was more a princess nightmare.

"She killed herself. The Lunar family captured her and was going to force her to marry their leader. She ran away from them and jumped over a cliff. It was the only way to protect her family and the crown. I am the first Crown Princess in over a hundred years. My oldest brother knew that he would not be King so he gave it up. Normally I would have not been crowned until my seventeen birthday but there was a threat on my life so it was moved up a year. On my birthday this year though there was another attack and this time I was sent away. My parents put me into the Princess Protection Program and had me sent here to Angel Grove. It was the only place that they felt I would be safe." She said looking down at their hands.

"Why would they come after me?" He asked looking at her trying to take it all in. She was a princess and for some reason it just made him want to hold her closer instead of pushing her away.

"Because you are someone important to her, they want her to marry their leader and hand over the crown. They know that she won't do that unless someone close to her is in danger." James said walking into the kitchen with Zordon at his side. Alicia and Jason trailed behind them.

"Jason, you knew?" Tommy asked his best friend. It was something that he felt that Jason should've shared.

"Yea but it wasn't my secret to tell but I didn't know all of it. Kim didn't tell me that there was another threat on her life." Jason said looking over at Kim who was just sitting there quietly.

"I couldn't tell you." She said to him before looking back as Tommy.

"What have you learned?" Scorpina asked as Rito neared her. She had been waiting for him to get back.

"The Princess is here and staying in her mother's old house. Zordon is here as well." Rito said to her. She smiled because once again she was right. The princess was here in Angel Grove.

"Good, good. We wait before we attack. I want this to be airtight." She said as she walked away from him. He stood there looking after her. He guessed that he would have to hang out here until she gave the word. At least he didn't have Zedd screaming at him to find the princess.

XXXX

"Have you found her yet?" Zedd asked Goldar when he walked in the room.

"No, there is no sign of Scorpina but Rito has also gone missing too." Goldar said.

"Why would she take him with her? She is up to something. I want you to find her." Zedd said standing up and walking over to the window. He looked out over the kingdom. It would all be his soon. He just had to find Isabella and make her his.

"Where shall I start looking?" Goldar asked him bringing him back to the room.

"Angel Grove." Zedd said turning back to face him. He would join him and find Scorpina. She wanted to be queen but that wouldn't happen because he would marry into the royal family not her. He would rule Cordova with Isabella at his side.

"Kim, Zordon and I feel that Rito was not from the Princes Protection Program. We would have gotten a call from Dimitria saying that she was sending someone. Also I didn't get a good vibe off of him. It was something about the way he talked about you." James said leaning against the wall. Alicia sat down on the other side of Kim while Jason sat at the other empty seat. Zordon was leaning against the counter.

"What are we going to do, then?" Kim asked them as they all looked around. She was slipping back into her role as a leader. It was something that Tommy and Jason could see. She was a natural-born leader.

"We don't know but if you see anyone that gives you a weird feeling tell one of us. Jason and Tommy are there with you in school so at least you are not alone there." Zordon said.

"I can take care of myself." She said a little mad at them for not giving her credit to take care of herself.

"We know but remember these people don't care that you are a girl. They only want the crown and you are the only way to it for them." James said with his arms across his chest. He wasn't budging on her life. It was his job to keep her safe and alive.

"Okay, okay I will let one of you know if or when I see something weird." She said with a sigh. This was not a fight she wanted right now. Tommy looked at everyone before standing up. He grabbed Kim's hand and led her outside. They walked in silence until they came to the park.

"I want to show you something." Tommy said breaking the silence. She nodded and tightened her fingers around his. They walked slowly toward the water and stopped by this huge rock. He looked at her and helped her on the rock.

"This is beautiful." She said in a whisper. He smiled because he just knew that she would like it.

"This is my favorite place on Earth. I come here to think." He sat as they sat down. Looking out over the lake Kim knew what he meant about coming here to think. It was peaceful.

"I think that this place is great. Thank you for bringing me here." She said as she turned to look at him. He was staring out over the lake so she could only see the side of his face but for now it was enough.

"Is Kim your real name or just one that they made you take?" He asked her as he turned to face her.

"Oh its my real name or at least part of my real name. You see my parents named me Isabella Kimberly Anne Hart-Dumas. My mother's maiden name was Hart and she wanted me to have it. Isabella after the country's first princess and Kimberly Anne because my mom just liked it." She said with a smile.

"Well I think Kimberly suits you better than Isabella." He said before standing up. He knew that he had to get her back so that they could think of more plans to keep her safe. He just wanted this moment with her here.

"I know its time to go." She said looking sad that they had to go back.

"Yea." He confirmed. Looking at her he felt more than protective of her. It was like he was falling but he didn't know if he wanted to jump back or not. He took her hand and looked at her before completely jumping with both feet. Leaning in closer to her, he felt her catch in breath and closed his eyes. It was the sweetest kiss that she had ever had. It was also perfect and the best first kiss.

The following afternoon Kim and Tommy were at Ernie's waiting on the others in their workout outfits. She had just gotten off the beam and he was waiting on Jason.

"I can't believe that Jason is late. He wanted to spar today." Tommy said looking over at her as she sat down.

"I can spar with you, if you want." She said looking at him.

"I don't want to hurt you, so I will wait for Jason." He said trying not to smile.

"Oh I don't think that you will hurt me. Jason taught me a thing or two." She said to him with a grin on her face.

"Okay well since Jason is not here yet, we can spar but when he gets here, its me and him." Tommy told her as he stood up.

"Okay." She said trying to hold back her anger. She would show him. Following him down to the mats she took her position and watched him take his. He started off slow and just messing with her really until she knocked him on his butt. He only took it three more times before he really got serious. They kicked and punched at each other as they circled around the mat. He would punch as she dropped down, then she would kick and he would block. They were sparring when Jason and the others came in. Jason was smiling as the others stared in shock. No one but Jason had ever knocked Tommy down. Tommy and Kim finally called it quits when they could tell that there would be no winner. They were breathing hard as they joined the others.

"Wow Kim! I can't believe that you are that good against Tommy." Aisha said as she walked over to Kim.

"I know that Jason didn't teach you all those moves. Where did you learn them?" Tommy asked her as he grabbed a towel from Rocky.

"I am into gymnastics too. I just combined the two and made my own style." She said with a smile.

"Yea she kicked my butt several times with her own style." Jason said with a laugh. Everyone sat down as Ernie came over to them. It had been a great day at school for them. Kim was glad that Tommy was not acting weird around her after she told him that she was a princess. It was another reason that she liked him. She didn't want to say that she loved him but she getting close. Looking over at him, she had to take a breath this was getting too close. She didn't want him hurt because of her

"Billy, what is that?" Aisha asked him. He had come in with something following close behind him.

"This is the robot that I have been working on. His name is Alpha 5." Billy said proudly. Trini walked over to him and kissed his check.

"Wow! You built this? This is awesome." Jason said as everyone looked the little robot over. It was mostly red and silver and could walk.

"What does he do?" Kat asked Billy.

"I am still working on all of his programming but he talks and helps me in the lab. I hope to have him do other things later." He said as he sat down. He flipped the switch on Alpha so that they could hear him talk.

"Greetings Rangers." Alpha said as everyone looked from Alpha to Billy.

"Rangers?" Adam asked him.

"Yea, I tried to change that to Falcons but he is still confused over Rangers and Falcons." Billy said as Alpha looked around the group of friends. It was almost too weird for them but it was something that was cool.

"I can't believe you brought a robot." Kim said as she knelt down in front of it.

"Kimberly." Alpha said.

"You taught him our names?" Kim asked with a smile.

"Yea I am working on his vocabulary." He said as everyone laughed. They each got Alpha to say their name before Jason and Tommy hit the mats for some sparring. Adam, Rocky, and Zack waited their turn as Billy helped Kat, Tanya, Aisha, and Angela with their math homework. Kim walked over to the beam and smiled. The boys sparred to clear their mind and she practiced on the beam. Sighing she flipped on the beam and ran through her routine and cleared her mind.

Scorpina smiled as she watched the princess on the beam. She was so close that she could just walk up and grab her. No one would know the difference. She knew that the princess could not stay off the beam for long so she had looked up anywhere that had a gym with a balance beam in it. This was the only place in Angel Grove with a balance beam. The princess was amazing on the beam but since she was royalty she could not compete. It was a shame but she did have the crown to dry any tears over not competing. She won't have that crown for long though. Scorpina had a plan and in it, Isabella would giver her, the crown. She could almost taste it. Backing out, she ran through her plan once more. It was almost time.

Okay so what did everyone think? Please let me know. I wanted to bring in Alpha and have him as close to he was in the show. I hope that you enjoyed this chapter and the next should be out next week sometime.
