It took Tommy and Kimberly a really long time to adapt that no one was looking for them. They realized it was just going to be the two of them for awhile. Tommy missed Jan and James terribly. He knew they were probably mad over Tommy ditching school and they probably thought she was the reason why they didn't have Tommy. Kimberly thought Caroline probably thought the same thing about Tommy. Several months slowly passed by, since they disappeared. The only thing that was keeping Tommy and Kimberly for going mad or aging quickly was the fact that they were together. They were each other's security blanket and life line. Both of them knew everything about each other. They knew things about each other that their parents didn't know.
Over time, Tommy's hair got longer and he was beginning to have beard. His hair was almost down to his waist. Kimberly's hair was much longer too. Her hair was almost down to her hips. Their body suits were almost completely wore out, so both of them stayed in a long red silk robes. It was really cold in the basement, but Ed didn't care if they froze or not.
"Beautiful, whenever we get out of here, I'm going to either go back to wearing white or green," stated Tommy. "I'm tired of being in red."
"I miss being in pink," added Kimberly.
"I miss seeing you in pink," smiled Tommy. "I think you look more beautiful in pink, than you do in any other color. But, I still think you're beautiful, even though you aren't in pink."
Kimberly wrapped her arms around her best friend.
"I know you feel that way," answered Kimberly. "I hate being in red. The color red reminds me of the position we're in right now. When we get out of here, I'm never going to wear anything red again. And I'm going to buy only pink clothes. I always thought your khakis, and tan shirts went really well with white. I even liked it when you'd wear black head bands."
"I think when we get out of here, I'm going to start wearing tans and blacks," confirmed Tommy.
"You planned on wearing white for our wedding," reminded Kimberly. "We were going to go shopping for clothes for the wedding."
"I'll still wear white," promised Tommy. "I thought about wearing a black suit and a white shirt."
"What color tie and vest are you going to wear?" asked Kimberly.
"They will match the same color as your pink dress," answered Tommy. "Right now I don't care what we wear for the wedding. I just want to marry you."
"That's all I want too," smiled Kimberly. "We'll probably have to get GED, when we get out of here. You know we didn't finish high school."
"How long have we been here?" asked Tommy.
"I lost track a long time ago. I don't even know what day of the week it is, what month it is, or if it is still 1996," Kimberly said sadly. "I bet all the rangers don't like me because they think I'm reason they don't have their leader anymore. Wonder if they'd believe us if we told them what happened? What about Alpha and Zordon?"
"Beautiful, I honestly don't know," admitted Tommy. "I bet Zedd has done something to prevent them from tracing us. Even if our friends don't believe you or accept you, you will always have me."
"What if your parents don't accept me again or don't want you to marry me?" asked Kimberly.
"I'll marry you anyway," promised Tommy.
Kimberly saw Ed slip two pieces loafs of bread and two bottles of water through the doggy. Tommy walked up the stairs and got their lunch. Both of them ate their lunch. They were tired of only having bread to eat. Kimberly missed Mexican food more than anything. The only reason why they continued to eat bread was so they wouldn't starve to death.
A few more months passed by. Ed put a TV down in the basement for them to more entertainment. They could only get the news, the weather, a movie channel, a cooking channel, and Disney channel. At least they were able to keep up with the news. They learned that the rangers were now in space fighting Astronoma and were looking for Zordon.
Tommy's hair was down to his knees and his beard was passed his shoulders. Kimberly's hair was also down to her knees. One day Tommy found hair supplies in a cabinet. He fixed Kimberly's hair every morning. She missed being able to fix her hair in the mornings, but she thought Tommy was good at fixing her hair. Well, she knew that he enjoyed fixing her hair. A few days, later they saw that all of the other villians' were in space helping Dark Spector. For some reason, they weren't able to return to earth. The last time Ed came down stairs, Tommy didn't hear him lock the door. He had been waiting for Ed to leave so they could leave. Since he was in space, they could safely leave.
Tommy quickly ran up to the door to see if they could get out. Kimberly still thought they were locked in, until she saw Tommy open the door. Both of them quickly walked up the stairs and saw the place was empty. Kimberly walked around the house to see if there was better clothes for them to find. She found Tommy's tracksuit and tee shirt hanging in the closet. And she found her crop top, shorts, and jacket in the closet. Tommy quickly put on his tracksuit and tee. However, he had grown a lot. His pants was too short and his clothes were also tight. Kimberly was still able to fit in her clothes, but they were also tight. Tommy found a pair two pairs of boots in the closet and both of them tried on the boots. Luckily they still fit.
Kimberly found a wallet laying on the table. It was Ed's wallet and it had several thousand dollars inside. Tommy decided to spend the money to get hair cuts, replace their clothes and shoes, and buy two wedding bands.
"Tommy if we spend the money, it is called stealing," warned Kimberly.
"He robbed us of an awful lot," explained Tommy. "We didn't finish school, everyone thinks we are gone, and we don't have any where to go. We have to replace all of our clothes and shoes. We both need new hair cuts. And we've had take a shower in water that was barely warm."
"You do have a point," admitted Kimberly. "I saw he has a membership card to the spa in the mall for some reason."
"What go would that do us?" asked Tommy.
"We wouldn't have to pay to get in," answered Kimberly. "They have a place for people to shower and we can take a shower. We'd be able to get a cheaper hair cut."
"I love the idea," smiled Tommy.
Tommy put the wallet in his pocket and they left the old house. The weather was cold and there were Christmas decorations everywhere. They quickly walked a long distance to the mall.
