A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING! I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! Thanks to my beta Elena Rain.

A few weeks passed by quickly, Kimberly and Jason continued to train and Tommy and Kimberly continued to get closer during the night. Kimberly continued to work with Amy to help build her confidence back. Things were going well, it was almost like Dan never escaped prison and he never attacked her and Jason, but something still didn't feel right. He was still out there and deep down that scared her.

"Hey Kim…"

"Ahhh!"

She was thrown from her thoughts by a voice behind her. She did a round house kick in defense.

"WHOA!" The person brought their arms up to block her kick.

When they lowered their arms Kimberly saw it was Jason.

"You scared me to death!" she said.

He chuckled. "Sorry, Sis."

She shook her head and put her hand over her racing heart. "No, I'm sorry. I was deep in thought; I didn't hear you come over."

"What were you thinking about so much?"

"Who else?"

"Tommy?" Jason laughed.

"Normally yes, but not in this case."

Jason sighed. "Dan?"

Kimberly nodded.

"Look Kim…"

"No, I'm fine. Just forget it. "

She went to walk away but Jason grabbed her arm to stop her. She flinched. He sighed and let her go.

"I know you better than you think, Kim. I know you're putting on a brave face for everyone. Dan is out there and you're scared to death."

Kimberly sighed and looked down at the floor. "I can't help it, Jase. I feel so strong and brave when we train and at night with Tommy, but when I'm not doing any of those things and I'm left alone with my thoughts I just…I get scared."

"That's why you've been pushing yourself so much when you're training?"

She nodded. "I just feel so much better when I train. I feel strong and powerful."

"Kim, I think what's scaring you the most is, Dan's been on the run for a little over a month now and you only saw him once. You know deep down that it means he's planning something and because you don't know what his plan is you're scared of him."

"How do you know me so well?" she asked smiling softly.

He chuckled. "I have known you my entire life."

"Do the others know?"

"Tommy and Trini do, but the others don't know anything."

Kimberly nodded.

"You want to go outside and train for a little bit?"

Kimberly sighed and looked around. They were all at Aisha's job today. They were in the back room of a vet's office. It was pretty big and Kimberly enjoyed it because sometimes they allowed some of the animals to just run around and play.

"No, I'm ok…HEY!" She cried suddenly overcome with giggles.

Jason looked down and smiled at one of the puppies licking Kimberly's feet. He chuckled and bent down to lift the puppy up.

"Looks, like we got ourselves a little tickle monster."

"He's a cutie." Kimberly smiled.

"How do you know it's a he?" Jason asked.

"The same way you tell all animals are boys."

"Oh….right."

Kimberly giggled and shook her head. Tommy walked over to them.

"I thought I heard my favorite giggle. What's going on?" He kissed Kimberly on the head and pulled her into his arms.

She suddenly felt a lot safer than she did a few moments ago. She snuggled into his chest. He smiled and kissed her head one more time.

"You ok?" he asked.

"She is angry because this little puppy is a tickle monster." Jason said.

Tommy laughed.

"That's not true. I'm not angry, I'm very content. I was laughing because Jason didn't know how to tell if a puppy was a girl or boy."

Tommy laughed harder. "Really, Jason? You had no idea?"

"I forgot, give me a break."

Aisha came into the back room carrying a small kitten. "Kim, can you bring this little guy out front. His owner is here."

"Sure," Kimberly took the small kitten into her arms. It curled up instantly and fell asleep. Kimberly giggled and walked out.

"If we manage to leave here without Kimberly asking me to get a pet I'll be very surprised."

Jason laughed. "I will be surprised if she doesn't want to buy every animal in this place."

Both men just laughed.

Kimberly walked out into the waiting room. She smiled when she Amy sitting on one of the chair. Kimberly got worried when she saw how sad Amy looked. Something was wrong. She went over to her and bent down to her level.

"This little guy is missing his mommy."

Amy looked up and she smiled instantly. "Yay kitty!"

Kimberly chuckled and gently handed her the kitten.

"Why are you sitting over here by yourself?" she asked.

"Mommy is working, so I have to stay here."

"Your mom works here?"

"No, my mommy's friend works here and she's keeping an eye on me."

"Oh, why do you look so sad?"

"Daddy is going bye-bye."

"What do you mean?"

"He and mommy are getting a divorce."

"Oh…" Kimberly understood now.

She could still remember her parents telling her about their divorce.

"I'm sorry, but maybe it's for the best. Now daddy won't be mean to you anymore."

Amy shook her head. "Daddy said he was leaving because he didn't love me anymore."

"Oh, honey, that isn't true. I'm sure your daddy loves you very much."

Amy shook her head as tears filled her eyes. "He says I was a bad girl because I told mommy he was mean to me then they got a divorce."

"No, honey, it isn't your fault at all."

"I'm going to miss my daddy."

Kimberly sighed. "I miss my daddy too."

Amy looked at her shocked. "Where is your daddy?"

"In heaven, but before he went there he and my mommy got a divorce too. It was hard but I knew that no matter what they would both always love me."

"How did your daddy die?"

"Oh um…a very bad man hurt him."

"Oh…why?"

"He was trying to hurt me so my daddy wanted him to stop."

"Oh…"

"Anyway, tell me about this little kitten."

"He's my new best friend. I don't have any people ones."

"How come?"

Amy shrugged. "Kids don't like me."

Kimberly's heart broke for this little girl. She had, had Jason and the others when her parents divorced now this little girl didn't have any friends.

"Well, I like you."

"Really?"

"Really."

They shared a hug.

Tommy walked out and smiled. He had gotten worried that she was taking too long and went to check on her. Amy saw Tommy and squealed. She quickly handed Kim the cat and ran over to him.

"TOMMY!" she squealed.

He chuckled he lifted her up and blew a raspberry on her stomach making her laugh hysterically and then her threw her over his shoulder making her laugh harder. Kimberly smiled. He was going to make a wonderful father one day. Tommy noticed Kimberly get quiet and still so he went over to her.

"Hey, are you ok?" he asked.

She nodded. "Just thinking."

"About what?"

"You."

He chuckled. "Do you ever think about anything else?"

"Um…nope."

They both giggled and shared a kiss.

"Ewwww!" Amy squealed.

They pulled apart and laughed. They both tickled her making her laugh and squirm. The rest of the afternoon was spent with Amy. She wasn't allowed in the back room because she was too young so Tommy and Kimberly spent the rest of the time in the waiting room with her and the kitten.

Later on in the day Amanda walked in. She smiled as she saw her daughter laughing and smiling again. She walked over to them.

"Hey, guys."

"MOMMY!" Amy squealed.

She ran into her mother's arms hugging her.

"Hey, baby. Did you have fun?"

"Yeah! Tommy and Kimberly played with me all day!"

"That does sound fun."

Amy nodded and went back over to the kitten that was on the floor playing with some string. Tommy and Kim stood and greeted Amanda.

"Thank you, I don't know how you did it but you've managed to make her smile again."

"She told me about your husband, I'm sorry." Kimberly said.

"It's ok; actually I've had a lifelong friend that's been helping me through it."

"Lifelong friends are always good to have." Kimberly smiled thinking of Jason.

"You have one?"

"I have about six…if not more." Kimberly giggled.

"Well, you're lucky."

"Yeah, they're great. My parents divorced when I was young too. It's harder when you're as young as her because you don't understand what's going on. I honestly don't believe I could have survived if I didn't have my friends with me."

Amanda sighed. "That's what worries me, Amy has always been more on the shy side so she's never been good at making friends, its summer so she won't be in school for a while. She just…she needs some friends."

"I know it would be better for kids around her own age but, if you want…my friends and I are going to mall tomorrow, we could take her with us?" Kimberly offered. "I wouldn't have survived my parents' divorce if I didn't have my friends. I'd hate to see Amy go through this alone."

Amanda smiled. "I think that would be a great idea. Amy, would you like to go shopping tomorrow with Kimberly and her friends?"

Amy's little ears perked up. "Shopping?" she asked.

Amanda nodded.

Amy started to jump up and down. "Shopping, shopping, shopping!" she squealed.

Everyone laughed. "Are you sure you can handle her, she can be scary when she's shopping."

Tommy laughed and shook his head. "The better questions is can Amy handle Kimberly, now she is scary."

"Hey!" Kimberly said playfully hitting his arm. "I'm not that bad."

"Yes, she is." Jason said as he walked out of the back room. Kimberly turned to see the others behind him.

"I am not."

"Yes, you are." They all said at the same time.

Amanda laughed. "I think she'll be fine. Should I drop her at the mall?"

"Yeah, I'll wait outside for you; meeting up inside a mall can be hard."

"Great, what time?"

"Oh around lunch time."

"Ok, are you all going?"

"Yep."

"Every time I see you guys you're always together. It's life you're physically connected to each other. You can't just be one person it's always all of you together."

"It's always safer to be in a group." Kimberly answered.

"Yeah, but all the time? I mean don't you get guys sick of each other after a while."

"Sometimes, but we do spend some times alone during the day." Rocky said.

That surprised Kimberly. She didn't know anyone was getting sick of them being together…ALL the time

"You guys must have a very strong connection. I'd love my best friend but I'd lose my mind if I spent every second with her of the rest of my life with her."

"Well, it's sort of something we do because we're looking out for each other. A situation happened and now it's just safer for us to be together." Tommy said.

"You're very lucky to have such a strong friendship. Don't ever let it go….come on Amy."

Amanda and Amy left the office; everyone was just quiet for a minute. Kimberly broke that silence.

"Why did you say that, Rocky?" she asked. "Are you really getting sick of me?"

"NO, not you Kim, but I mean, for the past….I don't know….month we've been together every second of the day. Following each other like lost puppies. We don't even know where Dan is anymore. No one has seen or heard from him since his attack on Jason. For all we know he's given up."

"He's not the type." Kimberly muttered.

"How do you know? Maybe he finally gave up?"

"Yeah, and maybe Zedd just finally decided to give up and let us win and destroy him." Kimberly snapped back.

"Zedd and Dan are to totally different people…if Zedd even counts as a person."

"I know, Dan, ok? I know him better than any of you. I spent two years being held captive by him, remember?"

"Kim is right, if Dan was just going to give up, he'd turn himself in and the cops would have called us." Tommy said.

He pulled Kimberly into him, not wanting her to get upset by all their fighting.

"Plus, there would be no point in bringing back the other 9 men if he was just going to give up." Jason said.

"What if he left the country?" Adam asked.

"It's not possible, everyone is looking for him. He would never be able to get on a plane or any of source of travel." Tommy said.

"He drove?"

"He'd have to pass some kind of toll or something, someone would see him."

"He can handle just one person, all it takes is one shot, or money, or even a threat."

"Guys, look, Dan is still out there, he is waiting for the perfect moment to strike ok, it's what he does! He plans ahead of time so that way when the time comes he'll be ready. Plus he knows I'm not alone anymore. He's harder for him to get to me."

"That didn't stop him from going after Jason."

"All right look!" Tommy said in his best leader voice. "There are 9 of us, that is a lot better than just one of us. Dan isn't stupid; he knows we can take him."

"Yeah, 9 of us, there is ten of them."

"Adam, we used to be outnumbered all the time, Zedd, Rita, Ivan Ooze, you name it, each evil had their own set of servants that we had to fight and we were always outnumbered but we always won, because we're the strongest when we work as a team."

"We also had super powers back then."

"Hey! Remember what I told you when Ivan Ooze killed Zordon? We're still the power rangers, with or without powers. We can and we will defeat Dan, we just have to wait."

"How long as we suppose to wait? Some people are on the run for years!"

"And, what's your point? Do you guys even remember why we're doing this? It's not because we're chickens and we're all too scared of being alone. We're doing this because we have to protect each other, it's not safe for any of us to be alone, Dan will go after us to get to Kim, to stop that from happening we're staying together."

"Yeah, but how much longer? You guys have like four months left before your anniversary do you really think Kimberly will be able to have sex with you knowing Dan is out there?"

"No!" Tommy answered. "No! Kimberly and I will not have sex!"

Kimberly looked at him in shock.

"Kim and I are never going to have sex. We're going to make love, there is a huge difference and if Kimberly isn't ready by then, fine we will keep working towards it. That's what you do when you care about someone, you wait! You wait a lifetime if you have to, because you care about them you wait as long as you have to."

"Look, I love Kim, but I don't know if I can live like this for the next 2 years. Do you guys have any idea how long 2 years is."

"Actually, I do. Funny enough, two years can sometimes seem like a lifetime." Kimberly said.

She pulled away from Tommy and walked out of the office. Jason went after her. Everyone sighed.

"Looks, like we are starting to get on each other's nerves." Tommy sighed.

"Look, I'm sorry. I didn't mean that." Adam sighed.

"Yeah, me neither. I'm really sorry." Rocky added.

"Me too, you're right. We can't live like this forever, but we can't let Dan get to us, one more attack and we're going to lose Kim." Tommy muttered.

"How do you know?"

"After Jason was attacked Kimberly was ready to just give herself over to Dan, I talked her out of her but I know if one of us gets hurt again, Kimberly is going to give herself to Dan to keep us safe. I know it's hard and I know it's not the most fun but we have to make it work. If we want to keep Kim safe and keep her from giving herself to Dan we need to stick together. " Tommy said.

"Tommy is right, but we're all going a little stir crazy, look maybe tomorrow at the mall we can split up for a bit. You guys go shop wherever guys shop and us girls can shop wherever we shop. We will set a time a meet back up then." Trini said. "We will all have our cell phones on us and if we have any problems we can call."

Tommy sighed. "I don't see any other way; we all need to take some time to ourselves your right."

"We can protect Kim, Tommy; we're not going to let her get hurt."

Tommy smiled. "I guess I'm a bit over protective of her. I sometimes feel like I'm the only one who can protect her."

"We can keep her safe and we will."

Tommy nodded. "Ok, it sounds like a plan to me."

"Come on, I'm tired and I spell like dogs. Let's go home." Aisha said.

Everyone walked out of the office. The saw Kimberly and Jason on the other side of the parking lot in a patch of grass. Kimberly was punching a kicking the life out of a tree as Jason tried and failed at stopping her. Tommy's heart broke. He knew what and why she was doing that. Everyone went over to them. Tommy stood in front of the tree. His heart broken when he saw the tears stains all down her cheeks.

"Move!" she cried out.

"No, baby, if you want to fight, we can go home and fight, punching a tree isn't going to do anything except break your hands."

"NO! Because of me everyone is angry with each other, everyone is fighting, everyone is going crazy and it's because of me. I have to be able to end this. I have to be able to kill Dan."

"Kimberly, listen to me, we're doing this because we love, because we care about you, because we want to keep you safe. Us fighting is not your fault."

"Kim, we've figured out a way to give everyone some time alone. Tomorrow, we're going to split up. Girls with girls and boys with boys. We're going to set a time and then meet back up at that time. If we run into any trouble we all have cell phones." Trini explained.

Kimberly sighed and dropped her hands. "I'm sorry." She whispered.

"It's ok, come on, let's go home."

Kimberly nodded and everyone headed back home.

When they walked up to the front door there was small package. Kimberly bent down and picked it up.

"Who is it for?" Jason asked as Tommy worked on unlocking the front door so everyone could go inside.

"It's for me, but I don't know who it's from."

As Tommy opened the door they all walked inside. Kimberly sat down on the couch. "I don't know why but…something is telling me I don't want to know what's in here."

"You're not thinking what I hope you're not thinking are you?" Jason asked.

Kimberly giggled. "I thought Billy was hard to understand."

"I feel very offended by that comment." Billy said.

Everyone just laughed.

"What I mean is, you're thinking that the package is from Dan, aren't you?" Jason asked again.

"Anyone else would have put a return address in the corner."

"Maybe they just forgot." Tommy said. "I know I forget all the time." He went over and sat down next to her. "Do you want me to open it?"

"No, I have to do this."

Kimberly opened the box and gasped. Inside was something she never expected. There was just two items inside but those two items drove fear into her heart. There in the middle of the box, lying neatly folded was a piece of black lacy sheer sexy baby doll lingerie with a matching thong and next to that was a pair of black fuzzy handcuffs. What scared her most was a little piece of pink paper.

I am imagining you wearing this outfit for me as you are tied in the handcuffs and you squirm trying to get away as I touch your body up and down. Oh it makes me hot thinking about you in that outfit. Maybe you will wear it for Tommy and I'll get to see you in it. I'll be watching you.

~D

Kimberly trembled as she dropped the paper and let out a piercing scream.

Tommy gasped as he read the paper over her shoulder. "How can he possibly be watching her? There is no way…unless…" A suddenly thought hit Tommy and he felt sick. "No, it's not possible, it can't be."

"What Tommy?" Jason asked.

"Guys….we have a really big problem on our hands."

Everyone just looked to each other worried.

A/N oooo what's the big problem? Any ideas? Leave me your thoughts in a review.
