All Together Now

By: Luna Ace

Summery: Years after the infamous Dear John Letter Kimberly Ann Hart calls Thomas Oliver and asks him to met in Angel Grove's Park. Can a relationship ten years old be salvage?

He looked around the Power Chamber/Command Center. Aside from everyone who had gave him glares it the place was combined from both the Chamber and the Center. Looking around he saw their suits encased in tubes. He guessed Billy was the one who had pulled that off. A viewing globe was off to the side, and a small space in front of it. The bigger question was he was the leader of these Ex-Rangers and he wondered if they would be all right under his leadership. He sighed as he watched Rocky enter the coordinates for Reefside, California.

"All right Fearless. What are your orders?" Adam asked, as the others shot glares at Adam. They weren't entirely happy with Tommy at the moment. All they wanted was him to stop becoming what she had, and he had failed.

Unsure of what to do Tommy cracked a smile. Now was the moment of truth. There was something he needed to tell the Ex-Rangers before anything happened. Before Mesogog attacked again... or before Kim did. Swallowing he looked over to Jason and Zack. Both men had shot him death glares. If anything happens to Kim your a dead man Tommy Oliver, he remembered Jason say to him years ago.

Shrugging, Tommy began telling a story that had happened eight or nine years prior...

"Man Tommy how you get those toys!" Jason slurred putting his beer down on the coffee table.

He looked over towards the his friends. Tommy was sitting across the way shaking his head. Zack, on the other hand walked up to them and picked up his own Power Ranger.

"Can't believe you have them all through Turbo!" Zack murmured, beer in hand.

Tommy rolled his eyes and walked over to the Pink Ranger. He couldn't tell them who had bought them. It was a gag present from Kimberly. One that he hadn't wanted since they were teenagers. But, Kimberly had insisted. And, after the letter they were the only things that he had brought to college to remind him of her. Not that he needed to remember her. She always was first in his book, but he would never admit it.

"Anyone want to play Power Rangers?" Tommy slurred getting off the couch to get his own Ranger and Jason's Red Ranger.

The other two men laughed. Sure there was a lot of things they could do on a day like today-- it was indeed sunny and a better choice would have been to play Basketball –if they weren't drunk. Rolling, his eyes Zack had a much better idea. Only thing he wanted to do was to pitch it. But, he quickly forgot it as Jason handed him another beer that was in an ice chest. The opened the three packages, and then Jason spotted the Mega Zord. He held it up towards his friends.

"What about the Mega Zord?" as he begun to dangle it towards his friends.

Zack zoned out as Jason began opening the package. Zack was remembering Pudgy Pig, a pig who was wearing an armor helmet and with his small body that was under the hat. The fact of the matter is they not only had to fight that monster once, but twice. Another monster that made Zack's skin still crawl was Knasty Knight . This knight was a birthday present from one Rita Repulsa. He was a fierce warrior and had the Black Ranger fight alone. The knight was also very tough and Zack couldn't beat the monster without his very own Power Ax.

"Zack?" Tommy asked moving his hand in front of Zack's face.

"Yea?" Zack asked looking around for either of the monsters.

"You okay?" Jason asked folding his arms.

Zack nodded and refocused his eyes on the miniature figurine of himself. He was indeed proud. He was wishing then Angela knew who he was, but he couldn't share his secret with the world-- let alone her. Thus, he had lost her when he left for the Peace Conference.

So, the three started playing Power Rangers in their drunken state-- with their action figures. As always Jason was the Red Ranger, Zack the Black Ranger, and Tommy the White. They continued playing in their drunken state until a redhead walked through the door.

She watched them intently. She knew they were acting like they knew the Power Rangers or were the Power Rangers! The latter was ridicules.. wasn't it? And Tommy, had opened the Pink Ranger's package and was just starring at the figurine.

"Tommy... you should call her." Jason whisper as he noticed he was silent.

Zack nodded and said, "She needs your help."

Tommy stood up and walked away from his friends, then stopped.

"I can't she ended it with me. I was too stupid not to write back." he whispered.

"Kim didn't want to give up her position as the Pink Ranger," Jason muttered.

"But she did and it's over with!" Tommy yelled, tears streaming down his face.

She gasped. The Kimberly Ann Hart she knew was a gymnast not a Power Ranger. Somehow it all made sense. She would leave them alone tonight especially if Tommy was like this. Turning away, and leaving the dorm room quietly she vowed to write Kimberly.

"Man, that was the oddest drinking night we had," Zack said remembering.

"Yeah, hey Tommy you remember hearing the door?" Jason asked his friend.

"Actually yeah. Hayley. She heard everything and I had to explain it all." Tommy said looking at the ground.

The two friends shared a smile while Zack blinked. He didn't know what was going on then.

"Everything was easier back then," he whispered.

He remembered how bad each of the Ex-Rangers were scrambling to help Kimberly back then. And, he and Jason had sneak off to visit Tommy, since everyone was mad at him. The Black Ranger and Red Ranger didn't say a thing. And, they never would, but as the years went on; it seemed Tommy only cared about himself. That's when Zack realized Tommy wouldn't help, leaving their friendship to strain. Then there was Jason. Jason and him were friends till about a year ago-- when Jason and Trini got married...

Shaking his head, Jason looked at his team of Ex-Rangers. True he wasn't the leader anymore, but he be damned if he was going to let Tommy take over. He was still mad at the Green, White and Red Ranger. He wouldn't say it, but he knew Trini how angry he was with his best friend. They needed a plan to defeat Kim, and Mesogog. And, he needed an answer fast.

Thomas Oliver wanted to be in control, but he knew it was impossible. No one would take his orders. Most of these people in this room hated him since they found out about Kimberly. He still didn't want to save her. He still didn't care about her. All he cared about was the redhead-- Hayley.

"All right I have it," Jason said carefully as nine pairs of eyes landed on him.

"What is it Jase?" Trini asked innocently.

"Two teams-- Ninjetti and Originals." Jason continued as he circled the Command Center.

Billy had held up a box filled with the coins that were first given to the originals. Jason walked over towards him and took the box from him. He went around the room handing the Mastodon coin to Zack, the Saber tooth Tiger Coin to Trini, and then went towards Katherine.

"Kat, I know you weren't on the original team." Jason begun as he watched as the Ex-Zeo Ranger nodded.

"But, we need a Pink Ranger. I need you to step down from Ninjetti Crane and become the Pterodactyl. I believe if you stay on the Ninjetti team Kim may think they've replace her. I know you all ready have. But, listen the originals are not staying here in Angel Grove. We are going to do battle in Reefside." Jason explain.

And before Katherine could nod Zack asked, "What's in Reefside?"

Rolling her eyes Trini answered Zack's million dollar question. "Mesogog."

Katherine only nodded. She would go back into battle to fight Mesogog and only Mesogog. She couldn't stand fighting Kimberly. Not after everything the two women had been through. She couldn't stand it.

Jason the stood aside. Billy smiled as he opened another box that had held their Ninjetti coins. These coins, once upon a time had been destroyed; but thanks to Alpha and his stay on Aquitar Billy had restored them. He knew one day they would need them, and the day was today. First, Billy stood across Rocky DeSantos.

"Rocky, although your last color in the Ranger world had been Blue I would like you to take up the Red Ranger- Ape Ninjetti once more." Billy said to Rocky as he took the coin and starred at it.

He was shocked, no beyond shock. When they received their Ninjetti Powers from Dulcea he was unsure if the six of them would make it. But, now they had and they were missing a team member. Upon receiving his coin he was ready to help her once more.

Billy then moved on to Tommy. "Tommy, Falcon of the skies; we need your help more than you know. We need you to become our leader once more. Please free the Crane from whatever spell she's under." Billy said firmly.

Tommy picked up the Falcon coin and gawked at it. He was sure mistaken that the Ninjetti needed him as leader. The latest Power Ranger team didn't need him as a leader. He was more like a mentor. He nodded, unsure of what to say.

Then Billy stood in front of Aisha, who was now holding Rocky's hand. "'Sha... I know there is no easy way to say this but we need you to become the Bear Ninjetti once again."

Aisha stepped back from Billy and shook her head 'no'. "I'm sorry but I can't Billy! She's my best friend and we've been through so much together! I can't do that! I can't fight my best friend!" Aisha cried.

Then, Adam; who had been silent all this time walked over to Aisha. He hugged her slowly. "'Sha we needyou. I can't fight her. You guys don't know what she is like. I need you to get the Frog Ninjetti Coin back from her! I'm stuck here 'Sha... I'm stuck here until Kim is free or ...

"No!" Aisha cried falling towards the floor. Trini and Kathrine ran towards the African American girl. The ex-Ranger males stayed silent.

"Don't you dare say that!" Aisha cried as she burst into tears.

Don't forget to R+R!

A/N: Okay before you flame me about Kat taking Kim's place there's a reason for it so don't go flaming me. You just have to read and find out. I finally finished this chapter before I went on vacation, I don't want to type much on vacation, and I'm not sure if I'm taking the laptop or not. But, don't fret a new chapter will be coming soon in the new year!
