Thanks for all the reviews!

You're great! So here comes the next chapter!


Kim's POV:

She didn't know how long she had been sleeping, but as a light breeze went through the window and brought in fresh air, she finally woke up.

Her eyes still closed, she could hear the sounds of birds, singing outside.

And then something else could be heard, she couldn't specify. What was it?

Something falling down?

Curious she opened her eyes and got a shock the moment she saw the room she was in.

Where was she? That wasn't her bedroom! And definitely not one she had been in before!

Looking around the walls, she saw posters of racing cars, of her high school classmates and that's when her memories sunk in.

Tommy.

He had brought her in here.

So this was his room!

And there was something else, she felt. No more weakness or the need for sleep.

She felt well and that was a little bit odd, considering the events she began to remember.

But that feeling only lasted as long as she didn't move.

As she tried to sit up and get off the bed, she felt her muscles tense and came to the conclusion, that she might have a few bruises and for sure aching muscles!

Well, that was no wonder, as she hadn't been in such a fight for a long time until now.

Wincing a bit she got up and searched for the door, and made her way over.

When she opened the door, she nearly had to burst out laughing.

Tommy was standing at the kitchen table, covered in flour and a bowl rolling on the floor.

But that wasn't the funniest part of it.

Funny was that he was cursing his whole actions with his hands and mimic and yet without a sound. She could only imagine what words he was mouthing without a loud, when she watched his face.

And she could watch it quite long until he noticed her standing there.

"How long have you been standing there?" he asked while trying to shake off the flour.

"Long enough, I guess," Kim smiled back and tried not to laugh.

"Oh man, I hope I haven't woken you up." Tommy mumbled, still confused about what to do now.

"Could I take a shower in your bathroom?" Kim finally managed to ask, as Tommy continued standing there without a noise and the silence grew longer.

"Oh … sure. Well … in the meantime I'll try to make coffee, ok? At least I can't do a lot wrong with coffee..."

Though Kim was sure that he would even mange that, she didn't mention it and let him continue.

"…and in the time until the coffee is ready I'll search for some fresh clothes, which fit you." Tommy ended his explanation.

"Well," Kim thought out loud, "you could drive my car here and bring my bag inside? I have spare clothes in there."

"Sure!" Tommy answered and asked a second later: "Where is it?"

"Well, I think not far away from the Command Centre at the road. I'm sure Alpha can locate it." Then she reached in her pocket and threw the keys to Tommy and he managed to catch them easily.

Then they stood there and silence began to spread, as neither of them knew what to say.

"Thanks. Well, I think I'm getting out of my clothes and getting a shower now," Kim finally spoke and thought it would be the best to turn around and disappear into the room.

Otherwise the awkward silence would have continued.

….

Half an hour later they were sitting at Tommy's kitchen table.

Kim was now wearing a nice skirt and a pink top.

"What I don't get is," Tommy wondered, "… how did Zordon contact you?"

"He didn't", Kim answered and bit another part of her bagel. As Tommy hadn't been able to make omelets, he had stopped at a bakery and picked a few things up.

"What do you mean?" Tommy asked her confused. If Zordon hadn't… then who had?

"I mean, no one contacted me." Kim paused and seemed to think about something before she continued, "it was awkward, I don't know why I came, but there was this strange feeling. I felt like I was needed somewhere. You know, like something was pulling me. I couldn't understand it and didn't know what to do. Well, you have to thank my assistant, I think. She was the one who ordered me to just sit in the car and drive along. She told me I should drive without knowing where I was going. And you know where I landed."

"Yeah, you landed here in Angel Grove." Tommy nodded.

"Yes, and I didn't get a welcome party either," Kim told him after drinking some more coffee.

"What do you mean?" Tommy wanted to know. "I thought you went to the Command Center and Zordon teleported you."

"No, I didn't at first. First I stopped by at my parents' old house. Then I landed at Ernie's Juice Bar. He recognized me at once." Kim smiled and then got more serious.

"That's when I knew something was definitely wrong here. He told me that the rangers hadn't appeared like they always did. So I decided to go and visit Zordon and Alpha. Well, I had to get to my car first. I found myself surrounded by these creepy machines… But I managed to get away."

"I'm glad you did." Tommy smiled and was thankful that she had been able to get away and even reach the Command Center. The rest of the story was well known to him. Alpha had told them how Kim had gotten the pink ranger once again.

He still had many questions for her, but he knew it wasn't the right time. So instead of asking her, what the letter and everything else meant, he asked her if she wanted another cup of coffee.

"Sure." Kim smiled. "I always couldn't get enough."


That's all for now!

Kim's back and more or less unharmed. And she and Tommy are having their first coffee for a long time. ;)
