A/N: I hope everyone enjoys this chapter. It is the final one for Ruins. I'm sorry for this taking as long as it did, but I've finally finished this fic. It's been one more ride, and I'm happy that you stuck with me. Thanks again for being awesome.

Centuries Ago
"Do you admit to using the planet's power to seal away Ivan Ooze?" the Bear asked.
"I do," Zordon replied. He squared his shoulders as he prepared for their verdict and punishment. He knew there would a punishment for their actions. At least Ivan Ooze was finally dealt with, and as long as no one found him and cracked open that egg, Ivan would be sealed away forever.
"Was it also your plan to use the planet's powers?" the Wolf asked.
Zordon glanced back at the other Ninjetti rangers. They were lined up behind him. It was their joint decision, but since he was the leader, he would take the punishment.
"It was," Zordon answered.
"You know that was the one rule of the planet," the Frog said.
"I do," Zordon said.
"Then there is nothing that we can do to save you," the Falcon whispered. "Phadoes was not to be harmed in your fight, but you have destroyed it. The planet was peaceful. You have destroyed innocent people in your quest to destroy Ivan Ooze."
"He had to be stopped," Zordon stated.
"Not by using the planet's power," the Ape stated.
"This planet is destroyed because of you not being powerful enough," the Crane said. "You had all you needed, why did you use the planet?"
"We were not strong enough without the planet's additional power," Zordon said.
"You did not look deep enough," the Ape growled. "There was another way."
"I did not see it at the time," Zordon stated. "I'm sorry about the planet."
"Sorry does not bring back the people," the Falcon said. "Your job was to protect them, not destroy them."
"I know," Zordon said.
The six Ninjetti spirits looked to each other before looking back at Zordon.
"We cannot let this action go without punishment," the Crane said.
"I know, and I am ready to face whatever you deem worthy," Zordon said.
"Nothing short of your death would work," the Bear said.
"NO!" Dulcea yelled out as she rushed to Zordon's side.
"Dulcea, stay back," Zordon ordered.
"No, this was our decision," Dulcea stated. "You're not the only one that decided to use the planet's power."
"Is that right?" the Falcon asked looking at the others. "Did all of you decide to use the planet's power?"
"No," Renee said.
Renee was the only human on the team. She had been chosen because she possessed a powerful heart of care. Apparently, her heart had been turned against him. He didn't know when it happened, but he saw the change in his Pink Ranger. The love between them was no longer with her lie to the Ninjetti spirits.
"Are you sure?" the Crane asked.
"We're sure," Renee answered. "Zordon decided to destroy the planet in order to destroy Ivan Ooze."
"Why you little human!" Dulcea yelled. "You know that's not true."
"Dulcea, no," Zordon said as he placed his hand on Dulcea's shoulder.
"Zordon, you can't die because of this. You know it isn't fair," Dulcea whispered.
"I know," Zordon whispered. "But I'm not going to let her die."
"She doesn't love you. If she did then she would be standing beside you right now," Dulcea pointed out.
"It's okay," Zordon whispered before turning to the Ninjetti spirits. "I am ready for my punishment."
"Your punishment is death," the Crane said.
"There has to be another way," Dulcea said.
"Are you willing to step forward?" the Frog asked.
"I am," Dulcea said. "We are a team."
"Then his punishment will not be death, but rather an eternity of entrapment," the Falcon stated.
"As for you, Dulcea, your punishment is to become caretaker of Phadoes," the Ape stated.
"The planet is destroyed," Dulcea said. "What is there to take care of?"
"The planet still has its source of power. With the inhabitants destroyed, everyone will try to take the power," the Wolf explained. "It will be your job to insure that no one but only the most worthy possess the power."
"How will I know they are worthy?" Dulcea asked.
"You'll know," the Falcon replied.
"You will not be permitted to leave the planet or if you do try to leave, you will age faster than your people," the Bear said.
"But my people do not age," Dulcea stated.
"You will age if you try to enter the jungle area of the planet," the Crane said.
"Then how am I to protect the planet?" Dulcea asked.
"You will take on a new spirit animal," the Frog said. "You will become the Owl. You can fly around to make sure that the planet is safe. Most of the people who will come for the power will land on the beaches. It they are not destroyed by the water and rocks, then it will be your job to stop them."
Dulcea nodded.
"Dulcea, you do not have to do this," Zordon said. "Let them kill me. It will be easier for you."
"I cannot let you risk your life. We are part of a team. When one of us fails, then we all fail," Dulcea stated. "I accept my punishment."
The Ninjetti spirits nodded. In a matter of seconds, Zordon and Dulcea's fates were sealed. Zordon was trapped in a time warp tube while Dulcea was transformed into a white owl.
"As for you four, since you decided to not step forward and accept your punishment with your teammates, you will die," the Falcon stated.
"What? Why?" the Pink Ranger asked. "It wasn't our idea."
"You are part of a team," the Crane said. "You worked together which meant that you accepted the decision to use the powers of Phadoes."
"If you would've stepped forward with Zordon and Dulcea, then no punishment would've been given out," the Bear said.
"How?" Zordon asked in confusion.
"Working as a team is one thing, but accepting punishment as a team is something more," the Frog explained.
"If the other four rangers would've stepped forward, the planet would've been restored," the Ape said.
"Then why do we have to die? If everything were to go back to normal if we admitted our part then why do we have to die?" the Pink Ranger asked.
"Because you did not step forward when you had the chance," the Crane said. "You thought you could let someone else take your punishment. It does not work that way."
"You four are not worthy. No one will remember your name after this," the Falcon said.
Zordon and Dulcea watched as the other four rangers disappeared after the Falcon flipped his wings.
"One day, six others will be worthy of hosting us," the Ape stated.
"You will both make sure that they are ready for the responsibility of these powers," the Bear said.
"The battle will be rough and one of them will fall away from the others," the Frog revealed.
"But an old foe will return and force them to look deeper and discover who they really are," the Ape said.
"A sacrifice will be made, but in it Phadoes will be restored," the Crane said.
"A sacrifice?" Zordon asked.
"Yes, for only a sacrifice will settle the debt you owe," the Falcon replied.
"Then take me instead," Zordon begged.
"No, you must find the six that are worthy for it will only be through them that you are truly free," the Frog said.

Zordon walked away from the room full of rangers. Their sadness was his fault. It might have been centuries ago, but it still felt as fresh as if it happened yesterday. Kimberly paid the debt he created when he used Phadoes' powers to seal Ivan Ooze. If he'd known that he would lose someone who was like his daughter, then he would've taken more time to think about his actions.
"It's not your fault, you know," Dulcea stated as she walked up behind him.
"It is," Zordon said without turning around. "If we wouldn't have used Phadoes' powers, Kimberly would still be alive."
"Or maybe not," Dulcea commented. "If we hadn't of used the powers, Ivan could've destroyed Earth. She might have never been born. None of them might never have been born."
"Oh, they would've been born," Zordon muttered. "They were destined for greatness."
"With greatness comes great responsibility," Dulcea reminded him.
"I know, but I thought I could protect them."
"You protected them as much as you could," Dulcea said gently.
"I should've done more," Zordon stated.
"What more could've you have done?" Dulcea asked. "You were trapped in a warp tube for thousands of years. I'm surprised you were able to find the rangers."
"I didn't have to search far," Zordon said. "They were already in Angel Grove."
"And a team of sorts."
"Yes, they were all friends. I didn't realize that they would be as good as they are," Zordon admitted. "I was shocked when they learned their powers as quick as they did. I mean they are humans."
"Like your Pink Ranger," Dulcea said.
"You can't say her name, even all this time?" Zordon asked.
"What if I told you I didn't remember her name?"
"I would know you were lying," Zordon stated. "It's okay because I really don't want to hear her name anyway."
"She was once a great ranger. I can't deny that, but she wasn't what being a ranger is all about," Dulcea said.
"I know," Zordon said.
"Are you shocked that Kimberly was able to give herself to save Angel Grove?"
"No, because any one of them would've done it," Zordon replied. "I'm just angry came down to one of them having to sacrifice themselves."
"Kimberly knew what she was doing," Dulcea said.
"How do you know?"
"She shut out everyone else from their powers. She sent them back to the Command Center to face Ivan alone. I bet given another chance, she would make the same decision again and again," Dulcea said.
"I know she would," Zordon said as he closed his eyes. "She was the one to make the decision to fight even after her Power Coin was taken."
"See, she has already risked her life before," Duclea stated.
"I know," Zordon whispered. "I just wish this time the outcome would've been the same."

Jason clenched his hands in fists. Kimberly couldn't be gone.
"If you hit the wall, you will break your hand," Trini said quietly behind him.
"I don't care," he muttered.
"You'll care when you have to leave to go to the hospital," she said. "I'm sure Tommy will want his best friend here when wakes up."
"But hitting something will take my mind off losing Kimberly," he reasoned as he turned around to face her.
"Then hit me," she said.
"What? No," he said shaking his head. "Why would you even suggest that?"
"You said hitting something will take your mind off Kimberly," she replied.
"A wall, hitting a wall," he stated. "I'm insulted that you would even suggest that I could hit you."
"Jason, I'm just trying to help. I know you're hurting, but so am I, so is everyone else," she whispered as she rubbed his shoulder. "We all loved Kimberly."
"I know," he cried as he pulled his wife into his arms. "I should've stopped her."
"There wasn't anything you could do," she whispered as she wrapped her arms around his body. "She made her decision to save Angel Grove and the World."
"Do you think that makes it any easier?"
"No, but it's also not your fault," she said. "This was Kimberly and this is what she did."
"I know, but it doesn't make it hurt any less," he cried.
"I know," she said as tears ran down her face.
The room was filled with tears and Trini knew the coming days wouldn't be any better. She wasn't sure if any of them could last through the funeral service. This could test the Power Rangers more than any villain ever could have.

"I think something's wrong with Dr. O," Connor whispered.
"Why do you say that?" Kira asked as she raised her head.
The room was full of rangers, but most of them were lost in their grief of losing a friend.
"He hasn't woken up yet," Connor replied.
"He took a pretty nasty hit," Kira reminded him.
"I know, but he's also pale with a pink light covering his body," Connor pointed out.
Kira looked from Connor to Dr. O and saw it. He was pale to the point of almost looking dead. There was a faint pink light surrounding his body.
"What's going on?" Kira whispered.
"I don't know that's why I told you," Connor said.
"I think someone else needs to look at this," Kira said glancing around the room.
She knew that Zordon would know what was going on, but he wasn't in the room. She didn't know if he disappeared or not. Haylee could probably find out what was going on, but she didn't know for sure. The best choice was Billy. She didn't want to disturb him, but there could possibly be two dead rangers if someone didn't help Dr. O right now.
"Where are you going?" Connor asked as she stood up.
"I'm going to talk to Billy. He will know what's wrong with Dr. O," Kira said as she made her way over to Billy.
"Are you and Kira fighting?" Ethan leaned over and asked.
"No, she is asking Billy what's wrong with Dr. O," Connor replied.
"What's wrong with…" Ethan asked but then stopped. "I don't think Billy can help," he said jumping up.
Connor looked back at Dr. O and saw that he was now shaking. Jumping up, he rushed to the edge of the medic bed.
"What's wrong?" Jason asked when he noticed Connor moving.
"It's Dr. O," Connor said without looking away.
Everyone rushed to the medic bed and crowded around it.
"Billy?" Trini asked as she looked at the Billy Ranger.
"I don't know," Billy whispered. "The scans are showing he's in perfect health."
"It's got to be his connection with Kimberly," Jason stated. "I mean he is glowing pink."
"Maybe he doesn't want to let her go," Zhane said.
"Are you saying that Tommy may die because Kimberly did?" Adam asked.
"Yes," Billy answered.
"No, you have to save him," Jason ordered. "He can't die just because Kimberly did. I've already lost my little sister. I'm not losing my best friend."
"Jason, there's nothing I can do," Billy said. "There is nothing wrong with him."
"Then why does it look like he's dying?" Zack asked.
"And why isn't he waking up?" Ashley asked.
"Guys, I would love to answer your questions, but the truth is I can't. The Ninjetti powers are more than any of us have touched including the ones holding the power. Tommy and Kimberly somehow tapped into a deeper source of the Ninjetti," Billy explained.
"What does that mean?" Connor asked.
"That this is something I can't fix or even find," Billy replied.
"Do you think Zordon could help?" Jason asked.
"I don't know," Billy answered as he checked the monitors attached to Tommy.
"I don't think Zordon can help," Andros stated.
"Why not?" T.J. asked.
"I think Tommy is battling to save Kimberly," Andros replied.
"What?" Ashely asked. "Honey, I know it's hard to accept, but Kimberly is dead."
"Physically, but maybe not in the spirit world," Andros said. "Remember she became a crane before destroying Ivan Ooze."
"Andros could be right," Zhane said. "Billy said it himself, there is so much more to the Ninjetti than anyone knows."
"Then how do we bring Tommy back?" Justin asked.
"Do you honestly think that he will come back without Kimberly?" Carlos asked. "This is Tommy we're talking about."
"I refuse to accept that," Jason shouted. "I refuse to lose him too."
"Jason, there is nothing we can do to stop this," Trini said as she tried to step closer to her husband.
"No," Jason said shaking his head as he stepped away. "Zordon has to be able to do something and if he can't, then Dulcea. Someone has to be able to help Tommy."
"I'm sorry, Jason," Zordon said as he stepped back inside. "There is nothing I can do."
"I don't believe that," Jason said.
"Zordon's right, he can't do anything to help the falcon," Dulcea said. "He cannot even see the spirits anymore unless they reveal themselves to him."
"What?" Ethan asked. "I thought you were the falcon."
"When I was punished my ability to see the Ninjetti spirits was stripped away," Zordon explained.
"How can this be? You were the falcon," Cassie stated.
"It doesn't matter, I broke my promise to the Ninjetti," Zordon replied.
"Once you break a promise to a spirit, there can be no going back," Dulcea said.

"You were very brave my dear," a voice said as Kimberly opened her eyes.
"Where am I?" Kimberly asked as she looked around.
All she could remember was turning into her crane and flying towards Ivan Ooze. She did make sure the others were safe.
"You are in the Spirit World, Kimberly," the voice said.
"So I'm dead."
"No, you are between life and death," another voice said.
"What does that mean?" Kimberly asked.
"It means that you are not quite alive, but not quite dead," a third voice said.
"I still don't understand," Kimberly admitted.
"You sacrificed yourself for the city of Angel Grove," a fourth voice proclaimed.
"It was my job as a Power Ranger. Ivan Ooze needed to be stopped," Kimberly said.
"We know," a fifth voice said.
"You did not hesitate to do what was needed," a sixth voice said. "You found yourself in your Ninjetti powers."
"Yes, you did," the first voice said.
Kimberly blinked as the holders of all the voices appeared in front of her. It was the six Ninjetti spirts. This was the first time she saw them all together.
"With your sacrifice, we have made a decision," the Frog said.
"What?" Kimberly asked.
"To offer you the decision to stay here with us," the Bear said.
"In the Spirit World?" Kimberly asked.
"Yes, it is not something we offer anyone," the Ape stated.
"I can't be a part of the Spirit World," Kimberly said as she held her head high. "I couldn't bear to look down on my friends and see them happy. It would make me bitter."
"We understand," the Crane said.
"It is your final decision?" the Falcon asked.
"It is," Kimberly confirmed.
"Very well then, your journey is complete," the Falcon said before all the spirits disappeared and everything went black.
XXXX
"Tommy's getting worse," Andros whispered.
Tommy's body had stopped shaking minutes ago, but now his breathing was shallow. No one knew how to help the White Ranger. It seemed like he was dying.
"Is there any way that the other Ninjetti can appeal to the spirits for help?" Trini asked.
"It would be a great plan if they weren't passed out," Jason commented.
"What?" Trini asked as she looked around the room.
Billy, Aisha, Rocky, and Adam were as Jason said passed out. How did it happen? When did it happen?
"They are reacting to the loss of a ranger," Zordon said as he knelt down next to Billy. "It will take them some time, but they should be fine."
"Should be?" Ashley asked.
"There is no definite answer, I'm sorry," Zordon said as he stood back up.
"Maybe you don't have, but we do," a voice said.
"Who is that?" Justin asked as he looked around the room.
"It didn't sound friendly," Connor muttered.
"Connor," Kira whispered.
"I agree with Connor on this one," Trent said. "The voice sounded angry."
"Not angry, just bigger than life," Zordon said.
A bright light caused everyone to cover their eyes. The last time a bright light entered the Command Center, Tommy had been revealed as the new White Ranger.
"Greetings Rangers."
"Is that a falcon?" Connor asked.
"Yes, it is the falcon," Dulcea answered.
"Can you help Tommy?" Jason asked.
"No," the Bear replied.
"What? Why?" Trini asked. "He's trapped in the Spirit World."
"Yes, he is trapped, but not by us," the Frog said. "He refuses to accept what has happened."
"How does he know that Kimberly sacrificed herself? He was knocked out when she did," Katherine said. "I mean we saw Ivan knock him out."
"He wasn't knocked out," the Falcon stated.
"What?" Tanya asked.
"Let me be clear, he took a hard hit from Ivan Ooze, but he wasn't knocked out. I believe he had the wind knocked out of him. I think that's what you call it," the Ape explained.
"Okay, then why didn't he stop Kimberly?" Jason asked. "I know he would've stopped her."
"She wouldn't let him," the Crane said. "She took his and the other Ninjetti's powers to use them against Ivan Ooze. When she knelt down next to him, she told him goodbye."
"What?" Hayley asked.
"Kimberly realized what it would take to end Ivan Ooze," the Wolf said.
"To sacrifice herself," Carlos said.
"Yes," the Falcon said.
"If you can't help Tommy then why are you here?" Jason asked.
"Jason!" Trini yelled.
"It's okay," the Crane said. "We know that he is angry and we know why."
"In answer to your question, Jason, we are here to inform Dulcea that her service is no longer needed," the Bear said.
"What?" Dulcea asked.
"The planet of Phadoes has been restored to its former glory," the Ape said.
"What?" Ashley asked.
"Phadoes is back to the thriving planet it used to be," the Frog replied. "It will take its place among the other planets."
"What about the planet's power?" Dulcea asked.
"It lies within the Ninjetti Rangers. They will guard the power," the Falcon said.
"But the power has always been within the planet," Dulcea argued.
"It has been released with Kimberly's sacrifice," the Crane explained.
"Zordon, had you been in your warp, you would've been released as well," the Wolf said. "We do thank you for finding the rangers that would be able to hold the Ninjetti power."
"A lot of good it did them," Jason muttered.
"What about the Ninjetti?" Tanya asked pointing at the others on the floor.
"They will be fine," the Bear said. "No worries, they are weak from their fight, but give them a few hours and everything will be fine."
"Is that including Tommy?" Katherine asked.
"I'm afraid it's not," the Frog replied.
"But we do have a better solution," the Falcon stated.
"What? Tommy dying is not a solution," T.J. stated as he crossed his arms.
"No, we know it's not," the Ape said. "Don't worry; we think you will like this solution."
"Take care, Rangers. The future is never sure," the Crane said. "Remember that you are great with or without powers. Once a ranger, always a ranger."
The six Ninjetti spirits disappeared but the bright light didn't.
"They could've taken their light with them," Justin muttered.
"They could have," a voice said.
"What?" Jason asked glancing back at the light. He knew that voice.
"I said they could've taken their light, but then how would I get back," the voice said.
"Kimberly?" Trini whispered.
The light disappeared and revealed the Pink Ranger.
"KIMBERLY!" Jason shouted as he ran to his little sister. He threw his arms around her and picked her up.
"Not too tight," Kimberly laughed as she hugged him back. "You didn't think I would leave you alone? I'm going to be the godmother to your child."
"What?" Jason asked as he set her back on her feet. "What did you say?"
"Oops, I guess Trini hasn't told you," Kimberly said looking past Jason to his wife.
Jason turned and faced his wife. "You're pregnant?"
"Yes, but we'll discuss this later. Kimberly's back," Trini said as she walked over to them.
Everyone else rushed towards the Pink Ranger to hug her. A few moments later, Kimberly realized that a few were missing.
"Where are Tommy and the other Ninjetti?" Kimberly asked.
"Billy, Rocky, Adam, and Aisha are all on the floor. The Ninjetti spirts assured us that they would be fine," Katherine explained.
"And Tommy?" Kimberly asked.
"He's on the medic bed, but it's not looking good," Andros answered.
Kimberly nodded before walking towards the medic bed. She noticed how pale Tommy was and that he was barely breathing. She brushed her fingertips across his cheek. Leaning over the bed, she kissed his forehead before whispering the words he said to her years ago.
"It's time to wake up, handsome."
It took only a few moments, but Tommy blinked a few times before opening his eyes.
"Kimberly," Tommy groaned.
"Yes, it's me," Kimberly whispered.
"Am I dead?" Tommy asked.
"No, you've finally rejoined the land of the living," Kimberly said with a smile.
"Then why are you here? I watched you die," Tommy said as he struggled to sit up.
"No, you stay right where you are," Kimberly said as she held him down. "You've been out for a while, I'm sure."
"Are you a dream? A vision?" Tommy asked still confused.
"No, the Ninjetti spirits allowed me to return," Kimberly said. "They asked me to stay with them in the Spirit World, but I turned them down."
"They really asked you?" Jason asked as he walked up to them.
"They did," Kimberly replied. "I told them that I couldn't stand around and watch you."
"Why did they decide to send you back?" Zordon asked.
"I'm not sure," Kimberly admitted. "I didn't ask them too. They just brought me here."
"Her sacrifice was unselfish," the Crane said as it appeared once again.
"Zordon, remember what they told us," Dulcea said. "If the others would've taken responsibility with us then Phadoes would've been saved. The one that spoke out was your Pink Ranger."
"I forgot about that," Zordon admitted.
"One Pink Ranger might've betrayed you, but another one faced the villain," the Crane stated. "Kimberly's sacrifice settled the debt."
"Thank you for allowing me to come back," Kimberly said.
"You earned that right when you turned down our invitation to the Spirit World. It is an honor for me to be a part of you," the Crane stated. "Get some rest, Kimberly. You've had a busy day."
Kimberly nodded as the Crane disappeared once again.
Tommy finally sat up as the other Ninjetti came to.
"Kimberly?" Rocky asked.
"Yes, it's me," Kimberly confirmed as she helped Aisha up.
"How?" Adam asked.
"The Ninjetti allowed me to come back," Kimberly replied.
"I feel like we've missed a lot," Billy said as he stood up. "How long were we out?"
"Not long," Cassie answered as she helped Adam up.
"How is Tommy?" Aisha asked.
"I'm good," Tommy said.
"Kimberly woke him up," Carlos stated.
"Like Sleeping Beauty but in reverse?" Rocky asked.
"Yep," Kimberly laughed. "Just like that."
"Uh, maybe not just like that," Tommy mumbled as he jumped off the medic bed only to stumble.
"Easy there, I don't think you realize how weak you are," Zhane said as he caught Tommy before he hit the ground.
"I guess you're right," Tommy said as he let Zhane and Andros help him back onto the medic bed.
"I'm ready for a nap," Kimberly said. "It's been an eventful day."
"Yeah, I guess dying is pretty eventful," Jason said. "Next time, try to defeat the villain without killing yourself."
"I'll keep your suggestion in mind," Kimberly said with a smile.

One Year Later
"Are you sure this isn't a honeymoon baby? You know you don't have to lie to us," Jason stated.
Kimberly rolled her eyes while she held Jason's daughter, Hannah.
"Jason, I told you not to question Kimberly," Trini said as she walked into the room.
"I didn't question her. I just told her not to lie to us," Jason explained.
"It sounded like a question to me," Rocky said.
"Don't talk with your mouth open," Aisha said to her husband.
"Jason, you do realize that Kimberly is only nine weeks," Tommy said. "We've been married over six months. It's not a honeymoon baby."
"I don't know, I think you're lying to us," Jason said with a smile.
"You keep it up and you won't be the godfather," Kimberly warned.
"What? I thought I was the godfather," Rocky said.
"Rocky, you just want to be the godfather because of the movies," Adam said.
"So? I would be an awesome godfather," Rocky stated.
"You would make a crazy uncle," Katherine said as she patted Rocky's shoulder.
"I would say just crazy," Tanya laughed.
"I'm with Tanya," Ethan said.
"Do you know what you're having?" Hayley asked.
"No, we asked the doctor not to tell us," Kimberly replied.
"Well, Kimberly asked," Tommy said. "I think we should know."
"It will be a surprise," Kimberly said. "Think about it, it's like the last great surprise you can have in your life."
"Doesn't seem like a good surprise," Rocky said. "You already know that you're having a baby."
"Men just don't get it," Kira stated.
"Hey," Jason, Tommy, Rocky, Adam, Billy, Ethan, Trent, and Connor shouted.
"Shh, don't wake the baby," Kimberly said as she rocked Hannah. "I just got her to sleep."
"She's a good sleeper," Trini stated. "Don't worry, she shouldn't wake up."
"My suggestion is get all the sleep you can right now, because if not then you will be sleep-deprived."
Kimberly smiled as she leaned back in her chair. A year ago, she never would've imagined this. Everyone was gathered at Jason and Trini's to celebrate their baby. It's strange how much can change in a year.
Angel Grove was still in the process of rebuilding. Most of the city had recovered from Ivan Ooze's attack, but there were still some parts that hadn't healed. After everything was over, she flew to Florida one last time to pack up everything and ship it back. Moving into Tommy's house was easy; learning to make a life with him was something else. They had gotten married on the anniversary of their first date in the park. There was nowhere else that would work.
They still argued, but she couldn't wait to see what the next years would bring. They were living their happily ever after.

So what did everyone think? I hope everyone has enjoyed this journey as I have. I do have one idea stirring, but I'm going to get a few chapters typed up before I reveal it. Think about prince and princess, but with my twist. Don't forget to leave a review one last time. Thank you again for everything!
