A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING!
Kimberly stood in the middle and looked at them both. The rangers were always going to be her family, but the Cullen's were her family too. They took her in when she had no where else to go. Carlisle saved her life. How could she not pick them? But the Rangers have been her family since she was a kid. Jason, Trini, Zack and Billy have been her friends since birth. How could she not pick them?
"Well?" Rocky asked. "What's you're choice?"
Kimberly tensed and looked between the two again. Who did she pick? "I can't." She whimpered. "I...I can't." She looked past the rangers to Tommy. "Tommy!"
He looked to her and was instantly by her side. He was starting to notice signs before she went catatonic and he didn't want her to that again.
"See just like I said crying out to her husband like a little baby." Rosalie laughed. "I still can't believe you were a Power Ranger. You must have been a pretty bad one, why else would Zordon have replaced you?"
The rangers growled. "She left, nobody replaced her!" Trini yelled.
"Yeah I'm sure that's what you tell people. Kimberly was a bad power ranger and Zordon kicked her off the team. Just admit it. Kimberly is a big fat scardy cat cry baby ranger."
"DON'T TALK THAT WAY ABOUT KIMBERLY!" Adam yelled.
"IT'S TRUE!"
Everyone went back and forth fighting arguing screaming and yelling. Kimberly looked down at her feet. Tommy rubbed her back when a feeling of guilt washed over him. "Hold your ears, Princess." Kimberly covered her ears and Tommy yelled "EVERYONE STOP IT! I HAVE SOMETHING TO SAY!"
Everyone stopped shocked by his yelling. Tommy hardly ever screamed so she be did people knew he meant business.
"Kimberly and I have both chosen our sides. We are not on Team Cullen or Team Rangers. We are team Zordon and we aren't going to let disagreements stop us from our original plan, to stop and destroy the Volturi and Rita and Zedd for good. Am I angry at Rosalie? Of course, but I'm putting all that aside so I can focus on what's most important. Now I'm on Team Zordon, who is with me?"
"I am." Carlisle said and moved to stand behind Tommy.
"Me too." Esme said moving to stand next to Carlisle.
"Count us in too." Edward said as he and Bella moved to stand with the others.
All the vampires, one by one moved to stand by Tommy.
"We will never get along with vampires and once this whole battle is over and down with we are moving back to Angel Grove and staying there. We are only doing this for Kimberly's sake." Rocky said as he and the others moved to stand behind Tommy. Now they were all Team Zordon.
"Now that we have that settled, it's be a long night and we need our rest. I think we should all go to our rooms and rest."
"We don't sleep stupid." Rosalie snapped.
"I know that. I said rest, not sleep. Plus I honestly don't care what you do, Kimberly and I would like to go rest and we don't want you guys near each other so go do something apart." Tommy ordered.
Rosalie and Emmett looked to each other and in a flash were gone.
"I think a nice long hunt is in order." Carlisle said.
All the Cullen's nodded.
"Will you come back?" Kimberly whimpered.
"Of course we will. Everyone just needs some time to cool off. We will be back." Carlisle said with a smile.
In a flash all the Cullen's were gone. Kimberly let her body go limb against Tommy's. Physically she was ready to run a marathon but mentally, she was completely and totally drained. He kissed her head and lifted her up bridal style.
"Trini will you let us know when Jason wakes up?" Kimberly asked.
"Maybe, I haven't decided yet." Trini answered crossing her arms over her chest. "Why should I bother, it's not like you actually care."
"He's my big brother of course I care."
Trini shook her head. "If you cared you would have chosen the ranger side. Rosalie nearly killed him and yet at the end of the day you choose those stupid Cullen's over us."
"They are my family Tri, but you guys are also my family I can't pick between you."
"They aren't your family! They don't care about you like we do, they don't know you like we do. They aren't your family, Kimberly. We are!"
"Not my family? Trini they saved my life! Carlisle saved my life literally, For ten years they helped me get my life back on track and learn how to live my life as I am! They are just as much my family as you guys are. Why don't you understand that. They saved you too!"
Trini shook her head. "I'll always be grateful to Carlisle for saving me, but I will never consider them family, especially not after Rosalie attacked Jason, knowing he was human and weaker than her!"
"You know, Kimberly, I would have expected you to be by Jason's side thanking him. He was fighting Rosalie for you, because you couldn't defend yourself. He's hurt because of you, Kimberly and when it comes down to it you pick the enemy side over his." Rocky shook his head. "You really have changed, Kimberly and I don't just mean physically."
Kimberly looked down as guilt, shame, and sadness washed over it.
Tommy shook his head. "Leave her alone, she did the right thing. If you were really her family you wouldn't have made her choose in the first place."
With that Tommy zoomed up the bedroom and closed and locked his door.
He sat down on the bed keeping Kimberly close to his chest. "You did the right thing, Beautiful. You shouldn't of had to pick between them. You did the right thing by not choosing anyone."
"Everyone hates me now. I clearly made the wrong choice."
"Beautiful, everyone is angry and needs time to cool down. They don't hate you."
Kimberly just sighed and didn't say anything.
Tommy kissed her head. "You did nothing wrong. I'll keep telling you that until you believe me."
Kimberly just sighed and snuggled closer to his chest. This day had gone from bad to worse and she couldn't wait for it to be over.
Tommy hugged her tighter. He could feel her guilt, shame, and sadness and tried everything to counter it a feel proud and happy. But it didn't work. "I love you, Beautiful. You made the right choice."
Again Kimberly didn't speak, but Tommy didn't care. He knew she heard him and that's all that mattered.
"Beautiful, you know what we need to do?" Tommy whispered in her ear.
"Curl up in ball and hide away from the world, forever?"
Tommy chuckled. "No. We need to do something fun."
"Fun? What's that? I've never heard of that before." Kimberly teased.
"Fun is something we do that we both enjoy and takes our mind off the bad stuff."
"Doesn't sound possible."
"Can we at least try?"
"Sure, but I doubt it will work."
Tommy just smiled and rolled them over so she was under him and he was on top of her. Their faces were inches apart and they were so close their noses were touching. He slowly moved his face closer and closer to hers making her think he's going to kiss her.
When she least expected it his hands to went to her stomach and tickled her.
She shrieked and bust into giggles. "Stop it, Tommy!"
Tommy laughed and shook his head. "Nope, not a chance, Beautiful."
Kimberly laughed and squirmed and pushed his hands away. "Quit it!"
"This is fun." Tommy smirked and moved to her sides and armpits.
"I'm not….enjoying…this." she spoke between giggling.
"Then why are you giggling so much."
Kimberly just continued to giggle and squirm and try to fight his hands away.
Tommy chuckled and stopped tickling her. "You're so adorable when you giggle."
"I hate being tickled." Kimberly pouted.
Tommy laughed. "No you don't, you love every second of it, just admit it."
Kimberly giggled. "Only between you and me."
"Of course."
They kissed passionately and things quickly got heated. They got further than most nights but Kimberly still stopped it when it got to be too much.
"You're getting better." Tommy commented as they laid snuggled in each other arms. "Going longer without flashbacks, I mean."
"I know, I'm getting more comfortable with being touched like that again and…and starting to learn that it wasn't the touch that hurt me, it was the man who was doing the touching."
Tommy nodded. "I'd never ever hurt you in that way."
"I know, and that's why this is getting easier and easier, because I know no matter what if I say stop you'll stop right away no questions asked."
Tommy nodded. He kissed her head gently.
She closed her eyes and let out a content sigh. This wasn't the day she was expecting when she woke up this morning, but some how Tommy had been able to make it all better. She just had to hope and pray her relationship with the rangers wasn't ruined because of one stupid fight.
Just then there was a knock at the door.
"Who is it?"
"Trini…"
In a flash Kimberly unlocked the door and went back to snuggle with Tommy. "Come in."
The door opened and Trini walked in. "Jason woke up. He's taking some medicine for a headache and he's coming up. I wanted to say I'm sorry about before. What I said to you was really mean and not very best friend like. Look, I know about Alice's vision. I heard you guys talking. When Jason got hurt I got scared and I felt like you siding with the Cullen's meant you didn't care about Jason or if he lived or died. I know that was wrong of me and I'm really sorry."
Kimberly smiled and stood up to hug her best friend. "It's ok. I forgive you. I will always love the Cullen's. But that doesn't mean I've stopped loving the rangers any less either. I love both sides the same. It's impossible for me to pick between you guys."
"I understand. I'm sorry we put you in that spot."
"Friends?"
Trini smiled and shook her head. "Nope."
Kimberly smiled too. "Sisters?"
"Always…"
"And forever."
The two girls shared a hug. Tommy just smiled softly. She and Trini could never stay mad at each other for very long. It was impossible.
"Awww looks like you two made up." Jason said coming into the room holding an ice pack to his head.
"Jason!" Kimberly squealed and rushed over to hug him almost knocking him over.
"Whoa! Easy, Kimberly." Jason chuckled.
"Sorry, I'm just happy you're ok."
"I missed you too." He kissed her gently on the head and then pulled Trini into his arms.
"Trini told me what happen, thanks for keeping everyone together." Jason said to Tommy.
"Not a problem. I knew you wouldn't want everyone to be split up, Kim and I didn't want that either. So we all found a common ground and agreed to put aside our difference for the sake of the battle." Tommy explained.
"Good, now is not the time for us to split up. If anything now is the time for us to stand together and be a team."
Tommy nodded. "Couldn't agree with you more."
Jason and Trini went to sit at the foot of the bed.
"So what have you two been up to?" Jason asked.
"Just tickling my wife." Tommy teased tickling Kimberly's sides again.
She giggled and pulled away.
"Are you sure that's all you were doing? I heard some moans and groans." Trini teased.
Kimberly was so happy she couldn't blush. "Trini, stop it!" Kimberly whined.
Everyone laughed.
"It's nothing to be ashamed of, it's good." Jason said. "The more you guys get closer in that way the less power Zedd and Aro have over you."
"I never thought about it like that." Kimberly said.
"It's true. So please make out as much as you want to." Jason said.
"Thanks Jase!"
Tommy pulled Kimberly into his arms and smothered her face with ticklish kisses causing her to giggle and squirm and try to get away.
Everyone laughed. Tommy let Kimberly go and they shared a real gentle kiss on the lips.
"You're perfect." Tommy told her.
"You're wonderful." She said back.
They shared one last kiss and looked back to their friends.
"SO where are they?" Jason asked.
"The Cullen's? They went for a hunt." Kimberly answered.
"Good, I can't handle seeing Rosalie right now."
"Jase, please don't fight with her anymore. If not for yourself or for sake of the team than do it for me, your baby sister who is begging you not to fight with her anymore." Kimberly sighed.
Jason sighed and groaned. "All right, fine, I'll stop fighting with her…for now. But if she makes anymore comments about you the glove are off."
Kimberly just sighed. She loved having her big brother want to defend her, but he didn't understand how easily Rosalie could kill him. That was her biggest fear, Jason wasn't going to die during the battle, Jason wasn't going to live long enough to make it to the battle. Rosalie was going to kill him trying to protect her. She shivered at the thoughts.
Tommy hugged her closer to his chest. That's not going to happen, Beautiful. Jason isn't going to die.
Kimberly didn't respond she just smiled at Jason. "At least try to be nice to her."
"Fine, but only because you asked so nicely."
"Thank you."
The real test was going to be when the Cullen's returned and Jason and Rosalie saw each other again. Would it end in death this time, or would they be able to find a common ground and make up?
A/N Ok, who else is team Zordon? I know I am, what about you? so what is going to happen when Rosalie and Jason see each other again? Leave me your thoughts in a review.
