Chapter 14: A different shade of pink part 2.

Chelbell2016:

Okay so this will be based on two episodes and it will start off in Tommy's POV.

*Jessica Lee Scott: Purple ninjetti ranger*

Tommy's POV:

I am talking to Jess's mum on the phone.

"Yes Mr's Scott," I say with worry in my voice. "As soon as we hear anything we'll let you know. You too, bye."

I walk away and Billy and Kim approach me. Kim had asked her coach to give her the morning off for personal reasons.

Billy speaks to me. "Jessica's mum must be really upset huh?"

"Yeah," I agree shaking my head. "Worst all the flights from Paris are booked. Man she's stuck with no way to get here. She's trying to get in touch with Jase but I doubt he'll make it either."

"And what about you man?" Billy asks. "How are you holding up?"

"I'm hanging in there," I tell him worried for my girlfriend as I glance at Katherine. "Oh man! Katherine is taking this really hard."

"Yeah it must be hard being the one who found Jessica," Kim says.

"I still don't understand what she was doing there so late though," Billy says and I also wonder that.

"I'm just glad she was around," I say dreading what would have happened otherwise.

"Tommy," Jane says as she approaches with Ian. "We just want to say how sorry we are. We feel as if this is out fault."

"You guys," I begin shaking my head at them. "It was an accident. Things like this happen. Its just lucky that Serenity stopped when she fell off as well."

The doctor seeing Jessica appears again.

"Good news she's woken up," he tells us and we smile.

"All right," I say breathing a sigh of relief. "Is she gonna be all right?"

"There was no permanent damage," he reassures me. "She's going to be on her feet in no time."

"Thank goodness," Kat says.

"Can we see her?" I ask wanting to see her for myself.

"Sure," the doctor agrees. "You better go in one at a time."

"Tommy you go ahead first," Billy tells me patting me on the shoulder. "I'll call the others."

I nod and grab the teddy bear I had brought Jess. "Okay."

*Jessica Lee Scott: Purple ninjetti ranger*

Jessica's POV:

I lay on my side as I think back to what happened last night. I fell off of Serenity.

"Hey," the voice of my boyfriend says from my side so I turn to see him holding a teddy next to me. "Don't you know your supposed to stay in the saddle when riding?"

I chuckle. "Thought I'd try something different," I say taking the teddy in my hand. "Guess I should just stick to what works huh?"

Tommy nods.

"Ah man," he says gently. "You had me really scared. With everything we've been going through with Rita and Zedd and Rey... This has been the worse."

"Thanks for being there Tommy," I say gently and look at the teddy while he strokes my hair. "Cute! Who's looking after the twins?"

"My mum," he says gently. "She said to tell you she hopes you feel better soon."

I nod and smile. I am glad that someone I trust is watching my twins.

But the moment is ruined when Tommy's communicator goes off.

He glances around before lifting the device to his lips. "Zordon this is Tommy."

"First of all let me say it is nice to see you are feeling better Jessica," Zordon says and Tommy smiles at me.

"Thanks for worrying about me Zordon," I say to him.

"I am sorry to interrupt your visit," he informs me. "But I'm afraid I have bad news."

"What is it Zordon?" Tommy asks.

"Rocky, Adam and Aisha have been attacked in the park," Zordon explains. "By Rito and an army of Tengas. They need your help. You must go immediately."

"All right," Tommy says.

"Hey Jess," Kim and Billy says as they rush into the room.

"Hey guys," I say smiling.

"Tommy we heard everything," Billy says. "We should get going."

"Yeah," Tommy and I say at the same time and I attempt to get up.

"Not so fast Jessica," Zordon says and Tommy gently pushes me back onto the bed. "You stay right were you are."

"Guess he knows me better than I thought," I say to Tommy.

Tommy smiles at me. "Zordon's right. We'll take care of em. You get your rest. I'll talk to you later."

He kisses me on the forehead. "I'll be back."

"Bye," I say.

Tommy gets to his feet and the three morph before teleporting out.

*Jessica Lee Scott: Purple ninjetti ranger*

I am resting up when I hear someone come in. I turn to see Katherine.

"Katherine, Hi," I say rubbing my eyes.

"Hi," she replies sitting down on the bed besides me. "How are you feeling?"

"Better," I say before remembering what Tommy told me earlier. "So Tommy told me you were the one who found me and brought me here."

"Yeah I was," she says gently.

"I don't understand what were you doing at the equestrian center and so late?" I ask her.

"Jessica there's something I have to tell you," she says and I can see something is bothering her. "Something you may not believe... but you have to hear it anyway, okay?"

"Okay," I say before sitting up.

"I guess I should begin with I know who you are," she says and my eyes widen. "That you are the purple ranger. Or were. And that Tommy and the others are the rest."

"How do you know that?" I ask her.

"Rita," she says. "She placed me under a spell. Do you remember the cat monster you guys had to fight when I first came to town?"

"That was you?" I ask shocked.

"Yes," she says looking guilty. "I was also PC the cat. But that's not the worst. It's my fault you lost your power coin. Rita gave me instructions to steal one and the ordered me to use it to steal the power coin. I had no control over what I was doing I swear."

"I believe you," I say.

"There were so many times that I just wanted to pull you all aside and tell you I knew you were the power rangers," she says and I look down. "And all these terrible things were happening because of me. But every time I tried, it was like this strange force came over me to stop me from speaking."

"Rita's spell," I explain.

"And worst of all I'm responsible for you being here," she says but I look down as this is not the way I see it. "And missing practise for the team equestrian competition and everything."

I decide to try and explain how Rita's spells work. "Katherine do you know how Tommy became a power ranger?"

"No," she shakes her head.

"I was under one of Rita's spells too," Tommy says entering the room with the others following behind him. "Ir made me do horrible things. I almost destroyed the power rangers and my friends in the process."

"Yeah but look what happened," Billy says. "Everything turned out all right."

"I just can't tell you how sorry I am for what I've done to you all," Kat continues mainly looking at me. "Especially with the way you've welcomed me into your lives."

"You had no control over it," Kim says gently. "Rita and Zedd's magic is incredibly powerful."

"That's why we do what we do," Aisha says. "That's why the power rangers exist."

"Exactly," I nod.

Aisha sits beside me as we continue to talk.

"So the doctor said you will be out of here in a couple of days," she says patting me on the knee.

"Yeah," Rocky nods and I turn to look at him. "You can start practicing for the competition again."

I glance away from all of them as I know they will not like my decision.

"Um guys there is something you should know," I say to all of them. "I'm not gonna go back to the team."

"What?" Everyone says.

"Why?" Tommy asks and I can see the look of disbelief on everyone's face.

"But Jessica you have to," Kat says.

"No I don't," I point out. "I don't wanna take the risk. The twins and you guys need me and if something serious were to happen."

"Zordon said you could and I can look after the twins," Tommy points out.

"Yeah but he also said that it was my choice," I remind my boyfriend. "And I choose to quit. Please understand."

*Jessica Lee Scott: Purple ninjetti ranger*

The next day I am sitting down when there is a knock on the door.

It opens to show my aunt Lisa.

"Aunt Lisa," I say and the woman comes and hugs me. "What brings you to Angel grove?"

"Well I get a call off my sister saying my niece was in hospital after falling off of her horse," she explains sitting down next to me. "So I thought I'd come see how you were doing."

"Great but I do have a favor to ask," I say and she waits silently. "Can you take Serenity back to the farm until I can find her a new owner."

She pauses. "If that's what you want but aren't you a show jumper. Why would you get rid of your horse?"

"I quit," I explain and when she goes to argue. "Aunt Lisa please don't start."

"Jess you've ridden for nearly three years," she reminds me but I stay quiet. "Anyway I'll pop back later Tommy has allowed me to go and visit the twins."

I nod.

A few minutes later I am sat staring out of my window. I cannot wait to get out of here.

"Hi," a voice says behind me and I turn to see Katherine.

"Hey Kat," I reply before glancing back outside. "I want to go outside so badly I hate being cooped up."

"I know how you feel," she says. "You know, I never told you guys this but I was supposed to be in the Pan-globals."

"As a gymnast like Kim?" I ask impressed.

"As a diver," she tells me. "My coach said I was the best she had ever seen. I was supposed to bring Australia home there first gold medal in years."

"Seriously?" I ask shocked.

"Yeah," she says holding the album in her hands out to me. "Take a look."

I take the book and open it.

"Oh my gosh," I say as I look at pictures. "Look at you. Wow. So what happened?"

"I remember it like it was yesterday," she begins and I can tell this is a little painful to remember. "It was my last dive of the competition. The dive I had done perfectly a hundred times in practise. I was coming in first and had the trials locked up."

"And?" I ask.

"I lost concentration," she explains. "I don't know whether it was the excitement of knowing I'd won or whether I just got over-confident. For whatever reason, I misjudged, hit my head on the board."

"I know how that feels," I say thinking back to when I hit my head on a pole.

"They took me to the hospital and when I woke up they told me I lost the meet by one point," Kat says and I feel sorry for her.

"Oh wow," I say. "So did you try again next year?"

"I was too scared," she says and I now know where she is going with this. "I never went near the water again. It still scares me."

"And you think I'm scared to get back on Serenity, huh?" I ask her.

"Well aren't you?" She asks and I don't answer. "I just want you to think about it. I've got some things to do. I'll come see you later?"

"Actually I get out of here today," I let her know. "But thanks for coming by. It's really nice having you to talk to."

"Okay," she agrees patting me on the shoulder. "I'll see you later."

"Bye," I say as she leaves.

I begin to think about what she said. Maybe she's right.

*Jessica Lee Scott: Purple ninjetti ranger*

When I get out of the hospital I find out that Katherine has been taken by Rita and Zedd. I go with the others to the command center.

"It is good to have you back Jessica," Zordon says. "We missed you."

"Thank you Zordon," I say smiling at the others. "I just wish it was under better circumstances."

"Hey Alpha," Tommy says from besides me. "Any look locating Katherine?"

"AY-YI-YI Tommy," Alpha says sounding stressed. "I've tried but my sensors can't find her. I don't know what else to do."

"Keep trying Alpha," Tommy says approaching the robot. "She has to be out there somewhere."

"I have something," Alpha says. "I've locked on to her."

She gets teleported back.

"It worked," we all cheer.

"What is this place?" Kat asks as she looks around. "This is amazing."

"Katherine, I am Zordon," our mentor says and we all look up at him. "The power rangers and I wish to welcome you to our strategic command center."

She nods.

*Jessica Lee Scott: Purple ninjetti ranger*

The next day Kat has asked Tommy and I to meet her at the pool.

"Are you positive she said she'll meet you here?" Tommy asks me.

"Yeah," I say as I glance around. "I thought it was weird too especially after she said she was afraid to go near the water."

He nods as we continue to look around.

"Didn't she say she was afraid to go near the water?" Tommy asks before laughing. "Looks like she changed her mind."

He is staring at the diving board and when I look up I see Kat there.

"Oh my gosh," I say shocked at how high up she is. "I don't believe she's up there."

"Not for long," Tommy points out.

She does a dive and lands perfectly in the water. Tommy and I begin cheering and clapping as we speed over to the pool.

"All right," Tommy says as we get there. "Good job Katherine."

"Thanks," she says as she climbs out of the pool.

"Wow man," Tommy says grabbing her towel so she can wrap it around herself.

"Unbelievable," I say to her. "What made you change your mind?"

"You did Jessica," she says to me and I am now confused. "I had to do something to show you you can overcome your fears."

"Yeah but..." I begin not sure I'm ready.

"Now there's something you need to do," She explains.

I nod. "I know."

*Jessica Lee Scott: Purple ninjetti ranger*

So the same day Kim had her gymnastics competition I sat on Serenity and with the rest of the team we did the relay races and the corsage. Then I did the show-jumping.

Before I went to the race I stood there stroking Serenity. "No matter what happens I will never get rid of you. I'm sorry I even considered it."

As we did the relay we started with Ian, then Jane, then Nate and finally me.

I could see my friends in the crowd as I started the show-jumping. I go over the first one and then as I go by each one I know I can do this.

"And the winners of the team relay competition is..." We all cross our fingers. "Angel grove equestrian center!"

We all cheer and I can see my friends clapping. I also won the show-jumping competition.

After my competition is done we head to where Kim's competition is being held. I sit with Tommy as Kim does hers. She does so well and we all clap when she finishes.

*Jessica Lee Scott: Purple Ninjetti ranger*

Kim and I are heading towards the youth center to meet the others. When we enter its all quiet. But there are balloons and streamers and a huge sign saying congratulations.

I smile as I see Bulks butt sticking out.

"SURPRISE!" A bunch of voices say and we see all of our friends, Ernie, Bulk and Skull jumping out of there hiding places.

Aisha comes round and hugs both of us as the other rangers approach us as well.

Tommy comes over and lifts me into his arms.

"WAY TO GO JESS! AND YOU TOO KIM!" He says smiling.

Kat walks over and my aunt comes over with the twins. I smile and give her an apologetic look but she just acts as if she has no clue what I am talking about.

"Thank you," I say as I release my boyfriend and take my daughter in my arms.

"Thank you so much," Kim agrees hugging Rocky.

I take Katherine's hands. "Thank you Katherine for everything. It was amazing what you did for me."

"I did it for both of us," Katherine corrects. "Congratulations guys."

"Thanks," we both say again.

"I have an announcement," Coach Schmidt says. "Kimberly..."

"Yeah?" Kim replies.

"You are by far the finest athlete I have ever coached," he says. "It is my sincerest wish that you will consider moving to my facility in Florida to begin training full time to compete in the pan-global games. Together Kimberly we can bring the gold home to the united states."

I can see Kim's shocked look and I know why.

Later on I am sitting outside and Kim approaches me. "Hey can I speak to you?"

"Yeah of course," I say and she sits besides me.

"I don't know what to do," she says. "I really want to go but I have duties as a power ranger."

"Kim this is your dream," I point out. "At least speak to Zordon."

She nods.

"Okay then there is one more favor I need to ask you," she says and I nod for her to continue. "I've already discussed this with Alpha and he says it can be done. I know your a mother and you have your own obligations..."

As I listen to what she asks I am shocked.

"I would be honoured.

*Jessica Lee Scott: Purple ninjetti ranger*

I am waiting for Alpha to teleport me to the command center. A few seconds later I am teleported.

"Hi guys," I say when I arrive.

"I hope its okay Zordon I asked Jess and Alpha to be ready," Kim says and Tommy goes wide eyed as he realizes what this means. "In case you guys got me to change my mind."

"Kimberly once again you have demonstrated wisdom beyond your years," Zordon says. "Jessica are you ready to rejoin the team full time."

I smile up at him. "We discussed this earlier yes I have the twins but i am honored that Kim has asked me to take over being the pink ranger. When I lost my powers I felt like I lost a part of me. Yes I am ready. And Kim I promise from the bottom of my heart to carry on as you would."

"I know you will Jess," she says.

Kim grabs the crane power coin and passes it to me. A ripple of pink passes up my arm.

"Once again the powers all yours now," Kim says.

"Jessica you will now command the pink shark cycle with precision and care," he explains and the bike appears behind me. "And someday you will control the pink crane zord with grace and intelligence. For now you will pilot the white shogun zord with Tommy. Kimberly, thanks to you the legacy is in good hands. I cannot thank you enough for everything you have done as a power ranger."

"I don't know what to say," Kim says close to tears. "You guys are the most amazing friends I ever had. Most of all I'm just gonna miss us being together. I love you guys."

Kim holds her hand out and we all place them on top of each other.

"POWER RANGERS!"
