After a long four hour drive, they were back in Angel Grove. He drove back to their house and put their suit case in his bed room closet. They changed out of their athletic pants and top. Kimberly put on a pair of summer overall over her swimsuit. Tommy quickly slipped on a white tee shirt. They ran into James and Jan.
"I thought you were going to be at the cabin?" asked James.
"We forgot that we have a science project to do over fall break," lied Tommy. "We have to find a place that has all of our basics needs. Once we find it, we have to spend a week there."
"Where is it?" asked Jan.
"Across from the Angel Beach," explained Kimberly. "It is a that small speck of land that is across from the dock. It has a fresh spring to drink and a bathe from, a small cave to sleep in, and berries and fruit to eat. I used to go there when I was little."
"James has a pontoon boot that he keeps by the lake," explained Jan. "Go pack a suitcase and get everything you'll need. He'll drive you over to land."
Tommy and Kimberly went up to their rooms and packed a small duffle. They packed hygiene items, several swimsuits, a few tee shirts, three pairs of jeans, pajamas, a pair of rain pants, and a rain jacket. They also grabbed their sleeping bags, a pillow, and their small tent. James drove them to the beach. They got in his pontoon boot and he got them to the land in about 10 minutes. He dropped them off and left. It was exactly like it was, when Kimberly was last there.
She was anxious to take Tommy to sit under the big tree on top of the hill. She insisted that they went to the top of the hill. So, they walked up the hill and sat down underneath the tree. It still had a good view, like she remembered. She could still see the Angel Grove Beach.
"Beautiful, how often did you come here?"
"A few times a week."
"What was the longest length of time, that you stayed here?"
"About two weeks."
Tommy was stunned to learn she spent two weeks on island. She explained that Caroline was going to Paris for two weeks to visit her boy friend, who was a French painter. He already knew that the French painter didn't want Kimberly. And Mr. Hart went on a business trip for two weeks. She was only six, when she spent two weeks there alone.
"Was that when you found this place?"
"Yes, it was."
"Did you walk from your house to the beach? Did you just put on a pair of water shoes and a swimsuit and come here?"
"All of its true. I had seen this small speck of land every time I was at the beach. When I was on my own for two weeks, I decided to check this place out. It was twenty minute swim, but it was worth it."
"What did you do during the two weeks?"
"I swam, sat under this tree, looked at the stars at night, and soaked in the hot spring that's in the cave."
Tommy loved this secret place. No one expect his parents knew they were there. They had shelter, food, and water. For the next week, they could swim, walk long the shore line, soak in the hot spring, and camp under the stars every night. It was just him and his best friend.
"Kim, we could spend spring break here. And a few weeks in the summer here."
"Tommy, I love the idea."
"I wish we could stay longer."
"We've already made plans to come back for spring breaks and a few weeks in the summer."
"Beautiful, I wish we could stay here longer now. Kat just broke up with me. Plus, our friends knew she was cheating on me. They didn't tell us. Right now, I don't want to be around anyone but you."
"What do you want do all this week?"
"Spend time on the beach, swim, walk long the shore line, and soak in the hot spring."
Meanwhile, the other rangers were at the command center. They had just got a sixth ranger. His name was Willie and he was now the gold ranger. Billy felt uneasy because that was his cousin. And he knew that when Tommy found out it wasn't going to be good. He realized there was going to be a big rivalry between Willie and Tommy. Willie was the type of person who liked to flirt with any girl that he saw.
"Where are the red and pink ranger?" asked Willie.
"Willie, Tommy and Kimberly are on a private vacation together. His girl friend broke up with him in a letter," explained Zordon. "Right now, Kimberly is the only person that Tommy trusts."
"Shouldn't they be present, when we get a new ranger?" asked Willie.
"We'll contact them," answered Alpha.
Tommy and Kimberly were soaking in the hot spring. And they heard their communicators go off.
"This is Tommy," replied Tommy. "Go ahead."
"Tommy, we have a new ranger," explained Alpha. "Please teleport to the command center."
Tommy and Kimberly got out of the hot spring and dried off. Kimberly put on a pair of swim shorts and Tommy put on a white tee. They slipped on their flip flops and teleported to the command center. Both of them saw that they had a new ranger. All the other rangers just said his name was Willie. They didn't want Tommy and Kimberly to know it was the same Willie who Kat left Tommy for. Tommy and Kimberly only stayed at the command center for a few minutes, then they left the command center. Willie thought Kimberly was cute.
He followed them back to the island. Tommy and Kimberly didn't know that Willie had followed them. When they got back to the island, Kimberly took of her shorts and Tommy took off his shirt. Both of them sat along the shore line. Willie sat behind a tree and listened to them talk.
"Do you still wish we could stay longer?" asked Kimberly.
"You know I do," answered Tommy. "All week we can swim, soak in the hot spring, walk along the shore line, and we can sit under the big tree. We have food, water, and shelter. Beautiful, this whole week its just us. And we can wear what ever we want all week."
I'm going to go change real quick," stated Kimberly.
Kimberly went into the cave and got out a pink swim skirt and a pink halter top. She quickly changed out of her one piece suit and put the skirt and halter top on. After she changed, she went back out on the shore line with Tommy.
"Why did you go change?" asked Tommy.
"You said we could wear what every we wanted," replied Kimberly. "During the two weeks that I was here, I was in a one piece suit full time. This outfit comfortable to sleep in. So, I'm going to wear this all week."
Tommy went into the cave and changed into a pair red board shorts and a red tank top. Willie saw Tommy come out of the cave. He took a seat next to Kimberly.
"Kim, all week we'll just need our hygiene items, flip flops, and sleeping bags," explained Tommy. "Everything else we'll leave in our duffle bags."
Kat had told Willie about all of the pranks that her and Jason used to pull on them all the time. Willie was the type of person who liked pranks. He was mad because Tommy and Kimberly caused Kat to get knocked out of going to the Pan Global Games the first time. While Tommy and Kimberly were swimming, Willie went into the cave. He had a pair of scissors and he cut holes in their tent. Willie was really mad at Kimberly because she always stepped in, when Kat pulled mean pranks on Tommy. He contacted Alpha saying that he found her sleeping bag and pillow at the beach and had her sleeping bag teleported back to the Oliver's house.
That night Willie put on a mask and a black body around to see how Kimberly would react, when she noticed her sleeping bag was gone. Tommy and Kimberly went into the cave to go sleep. Kimberly noticed her sleeping bag and her pillow were gone and it was no where in sight. Tommy had already gotten into his sleeping bag, after they couldn't find hers.
"I guess I will just sleep on the cave floor," sighed Kimberly.
"Kim, there's no need for that," smiled Tommy. "There is extra room in my sleeping bag. We'll just share a sleeping bag and pillow."
Tommy moved over and she got in his sleeping bag. He was right, there was a lot of extra room. Tommy wrapped his arms around her. Kimberly rested her head against his chest. Both of them dozed off. Willie came into the cave and slowly unzipped Tommy's sleeping bag. Once the sleeping bag was unzipped, Willie slowly began to move Tommy's arms off of Kimberly. Then he slowly drug Kimberly out of Tommy's sleeping bag and laid her on the ground outside the cave. Willie had a some rope and a piece of cloth. He held her hand behind her back and tied her wrists together; he did the same thing to her ankles. Willie slowly began to carry her into to the forest.
Kimberly slowly began to wake up. She noticed that she had rope cutting into her wrists and ankles. Plus she noticed someone had drug her out of cave.
"TOMMY!" screamed Kimberly.
As soon as she screamed, Willie tied the tick piece of cloth around Kimberly's face. Her teeth were biting down on the piece of cloth. The cloth was very tick and big. It was rubbing against both sides of her mouth because it was tided in the back very tight. Kimberly couldn't make a sound.
Tommy heard her scream and he woke up. He noticed Kimberly wasn't laying next to him and someone had unzipped the sleeping bag. Tommy went outside the cave to look for her. She wasn't on the beach and he didn't see her sitting under the big tree on the hill. The only other place that she could possibly be would be some where in the forest. He began to walk through the forest.
Meanwhile, Willie had sat Kimberly up against a tree at the end of the forest. She was sobbing. The cloth had rubbed sores on both sides of her mouth. Her wrists and ankles were sore.
Tommy continued to walk through the forest. He had called for Kimberly for hours and couldn't find her. Finally, he came to end of the forest and saw her sitting against the tree. She was quickly went to her and untied the cloth that was tied around her face. He found a sharp rock and sliced the rope around her wrists and ankles. Once he got her loose, Tommy carried Kimberly back to the cave.
Once he got her to the cave, he noticed that both of her wrists and ankles were bleeding. Tommy cleaned the cuts and bandaged them. He carried her over to the hot spring and sat her up. Then he got in the hot spring with her and sat next to her. Her head was resting on his shoulder and she was resting peacefully. Finally, he went back to sleep. Shortly after Tommy fell asleep, Kimberly woke up. She noticed that Tommy had went after her. She wrapped both of her arms around his waist, kissed his neck, and went back to sleep.
The next morning, Tommy decided that they were going home early. He had all of their stuff teleported to the Oliver's house. Tommy was able to cover up the truth by saying that they finished the assignment early and Kimberly fell and got hurt.
