Chapter 28 The Fall

On Saturday, Tommy drove Kim to Youth Center for gymnastics practice. What had happened the day before was still playing itself in Tommy's mind.

"Thanks again, Tommy," Kim said, unbuckling.

"Hey, if you need anything, just call, or use your communicator," he told her.

Kim nodded. Tommy could not take it anymore. He did not like leaving her without him there.

"Are you sure you'll be fine," Tommy asked.

"Yeah, I'll be fine," Kim said, hugging Tommy. "Bye."

"Bye," Tommy smiled.

Tommy let his head fall as the door shut.

"I'm not going to let what happened to me happen to you. I promise," he vowed.

She looked back at him and smiled. Tommy did the same and put one hand up.

After thirty minutes of working out, Kim ran over to the counter.

"Thanks, Ernie, Kim smiled as he handed her a banana smoothie.

"You're looking good, Kim," he noticed.

"Thanks, I've been practicing really hard," she said.

Kim turned to find Kat behind her. She took in a deep breath.

"Kim, don't scream," Kat begged.

"Trying not to," she said as she exhaled.

"I just want to tell you how sorry I am," Kat sighed.

"It's alright. I may still not like the idea, but you were under Rita and Zedd's influence, and I should be able to forgive you," Kim realized.

"Have you," Kat asked.

"I'm a very forgiving person," Kim said.

"Oh, thank you," Kat smiled.

As Kat hugged Kim, Kim's communicator went off. Kim let go and bit her lower lip.

"I'm being called. Take care, Kat," she said.

"Kim… be careful," she whispered.

"Always," she smiled.

"Kim, we really need your help," a voice said.

"I'll be there soon, Tommy," she replied.

Kim ran into the hall where no one was at.

It's morphin…" she began before someone came walking in.

"Kim," Emily asked.

"Oh, hey, Emily," she smiled.

Emily then noticed an object in Kim's hand.

"What's that," Emily asked.

Her eyes grew when she saw her morpher in her hand.

"Oh, it's um… nothing. Got o go," Kim said.

"What's going on," Emily asked in a low voice as she followed Kim outside.

She went behind a tree as Kim stopped and looked around.

"It's morphin time," Kim yelled.

"No way," Emily gasped.

Kim appeared next to Zack at the park.

"Hey, glad you could make it," Zack said.

Kim smiled underneath her helmet at Zack.

"Sorry I had to call you, Kim," Tommy apologized.

"That's fine. Let's kick some putty ass," Kim said.

She sent a putty into a tree.

"Be careful, Kim," Billy said. "Who knows how long you can be morphed at a time."

"Right," she nodded.

After the fight, everyone could tell something was wrong with Kim.

"Kim, you alright," Tommy asked.

"I feel… so weak," she said.

Her chest was moving up and down at a fast rate.

"Just a take a deep breath," Jason said.

"Tommy, I don't feel so…" Kim began.

"Kim," he yelled.

Tommy caught the Pink Ranger as she demorphed.

"What happened to her," Trini asked.

"She was morphed far too long," Billy said.

"We can't let that happen again," Tommy sighed.

Later that day, Tommy drove Kim back to the Youth Center right before it closed.

"Kim," Tommy said, stopping the truck, "I really don't think that you should be practicing with no one here."

"Ernie said that it was alright," she replied.

"Yeah, but what about the way you feel," Tommy asked.

"I'm fine, really," Kim said.

Tommy couldn't help but turn up the radio.

"Hey, listen. You like this song, right," he asked.

It was Tim McGraw's 'Please Remember Me.'

You'll fine better love

Strong as it ever was

Deep as the river runs

Warm as the morning sun

Please remember me

"Yes, it's a beautiful song," Kim said.

"Remember me, Kimberly, always. No matter where life leads us," Tommy replied.

Kim leaned towards Tommy and kissed him. He always had a way of making things sappy.

"Be safe," Tommy whispered.

"I will," Kim said.

As Kim undid her buckle, Tommy took her hand. She had to admit, it caught her by surprise.

"I don't want anything to happen to you. I don't want you to get hurt," Tommy said.

"Don't worry," Kim smiled.

"Call me if you need anything," Tommy said.

"I will," Kim laughed.

Kim kissed Tommy on the cheek and began to exit the truck when Tommy pulled her back in.

"Now what," she asked.

"Noting, I just want you to kiss me," Tommy said.

"Well, alright then," Kim smiled.

Tommy placed his hand in back of Kim's neck as he kissed her.

Tommy sat in his truck for ten minutes, just wondering if he should go in there. His eyes moved to the passenger seat. He smiled at what he saw.

"Yes, a reason to go check on her," Tommy said.

He grabbed Kim's pink jacket and got out of his truck. As he walked into the Youth Center, Tommy noticed something was wrong with Kim's routine. He did not remember her going side to side in it. He then realized she was losing balance on the beam.

"Kim," Tommy yelled.

By the time he got to her, she was on the floor, unconscious.

"No, no," Tommy cried.

He placed his hand on her forehead.

"I got to get you to a hospital," Tommy said.

Tommy was not allowed in Kim's room over night. He was up all night calling everyone. They were all shocked about the news. Kim's mom had already been there in the morning before Tommy and Kevin showed up.

"I'll wait out here for the rest. You go on," Kevin said.

"You sure, Kevin," Tommy asked. "She's your sister."

"She's your girlfriend. She'd rather see you than me. Now go on," he said.

Tommy nodded and entered Kim's room with a stuffed bear in his hand.

"Hey there," he said.

Kim opened her eyes and smiled. She wanted to sit up to hug him, but it still hurt to move.

"Hey there," Kim smiled.

Tommy bent down next to her bed. It hurt to see her this way, but he was glad he came in when he did.

"Don't you know you're supposed to land on your feet," Tommy asked.

"I thought I'd try something new," Kim said.

With one last attempt to sit up, Kim was finally able to. She smiled as Tommy handed her the bear.

"Guess I should just stick to what works, huh," Kim asked.

"Aw man," Tommy said, running his hand through her hair after he pulled her ponytail out.

"That hurt a little," Kim laughed.

He always liked to run his hand through her hair.

"Sorry. You had me really scared. With everything we've through with Rita and Zedd, this is the worst," Tommy said.

"Did you hear," Kim asked.

"Hear what," Tommy wondered, still playing with her hair.

"The doctor said I'm getting out of here tomorrow," Kim said.

"That's great," Tommy smiled.

"Yeah, they want me to stay so the tests could come in," Kim said.

A knock came at the door.

"Come in," Kim said.

"How are you feeling sis," Kevin asked.

"Better," Kim said.

"That's good. Tommy, some of us still want to see her," Kevin laughed.

"Crap. I forgot that they only allow one person at a time. It'll just be a second."

His communicator went off as Kevin walked out.

"Tommy here. What is it," he asked.

"It's just good to see that you're doing well, Kimberly," Zordon said.

"Thanks, Zordon," she smiled.

"Was that it, Zordon," Tommy asked.

"Yes, Alpha and I just wanted to check up on Kimberly," he said.

Tommy looked over at Kim, who just shrugged.

"Alright," he said.

They laughed as Tommy lowered his hand.

"That was weird," Kim said.

"Yeah, no kidding," Tommy laughed.

Emily had told Jason meet her at the park after he visited Kim. He found her looking at the lake.

"Hey," Jason said.

Emily turned and also smiled, but it soon faded.

"Hi, Jase," she said.

"You okay," Jason asked.

She took a deep breath and turned back around.

"Why didn't you tell me," she asked.

"Tell you about what," Jason wondered.

"About you being Power Rangers," Emily cried.

Jason's eyes grew. He had no idea how she found out.

"How did you find out," Jason asked.

"I kind of followed Kim," Emily admitted.

"Listen, I was going to tell. It just that I didn't want anything to happen to you," Jason said.

He turned her around and put his hand on her cheek.

"I love you too much to put you in danger," Jason said.

She smiled and looked down.

"You're sweet," Emily smiled.

A couple of hours after Kim was released from the hospital, they were all at the Command Center.

"My powers are gone, right," Kim asked.

"No, Kimberly, they're not," Alpha said.

Tommy looked p at Zordon.

"Then I'm going to get her power coin back," he said.

"No," Zordon protested, "we need Rocky, Adam, and Aisha. They won't be detected."

"Teleporting them in… now," Alpha said.

Tommy ran his hand through his hair as he turned from Zordon.

"Whoa," Adam yelled as he fell to the floor. "I don't think I'll ever get used to that."

"Me nether," Rocky said, popping his neck.

"Kim," Aisha yelled. "I thought you'd be at home resting."

Kim smiled as they hugged.

"I'm doing better," she said.

"You ready, Rocky," Jason asked.

"Ready for what," he wondered.

"To get Kim's power coin," Billy said.

"Wait, what about Aisha and I," Adam asked.

"He may need a little back up," Aisha said.

Zack walked up to his cousin. He put his hand on her shoulder and pulled her to face him.

"Aisha, I'm not putting you in danger," Zack yelled.

"Don't worry, I'll take care of her," Rocky said.

Zack looked down as he let go of Aisha.

"Be ready to be teleported," Alpha said.

Zack sighed as the three disappeared.

"You going to be alright, Zack," Trini asked.

"She's my cousin damn it! What am I supposed to tell my aunt and uncle if she doesn't come back," he panicked. "I thought I was fine with her going, but I'm not."

"She will," Trini said.

Three white lights entered a dark room.

"Hey, the big ape's sleeping," Aisha whispered.

"What's in this box," Adam asked.

Rocky and Aisha tiptoed to Adam.

"Oh great, it's locked," Rocky moaned.

Rocky attempted to open it again, but it was no good. It wasn't going to open.

"Damn it, and that monkey has the key," Aisha said.

"It's Goldar," Adam corrected her.

She looked over at him and rolled her eyes.

"I don't care. I just need those keys," Aisha said.

Rocky carefully removed the keys.

"Hopefully Kim's coin is in that box," Adam said.

Everyone's eyes were fixed on the viewing globe. Kim watched in horror as Goldar woke up and called on the putties.

"Guys, watch out," she yelled.

"Um Kim, I don't think they can hear you," Jason said.

"I don't really care, Jason," she snapped.

Zack covered his mouth as he tried not to laugh.

"Now, Alpha," Billy said. "They got the coin."

"Teleporting them back… now," he replied.

"Cool, I landed on my feet for once," Adam smiled.

Jason laughed as Adam started dancing. Rocky and Aisha began to shake their heads.

"You kind of get used to it after a while," Jason told Adam.

"I have something for you," Rocky said, tapping on Kim's shoulder.

She looked down as Rocky opened his hand to reveal her power coin.

"Rocky," Kim squealed.

Before Rocky knew it, he was being embraced by Kim.

"Kimberly, it will take time for your powers to be fully recharged," Zordon informed her.

"I'm just glad I have it back," she said.

Kim handed Alpha the coin to check on it.

"Oh dear, this isn't good," Alpha panicked.

"I don't like the sound of that," Kim said.

"What's wrong," Tommy asked.

"I can't get a reading on the power coin," Alpha said.

The room fell silent. Everyone knew what that could mean.

"Meaning? No, wait. I don't think I want to know," Kim said.

"Rita and Zedd have drained the coin of its powers," Zordon replied.

"That's really freakin' great," Kim cried.

"This is all my fault," Tommy said.

"Tommy, don't blame yourself," Kim said.

She placed her hand on his shoulder, but he shoved it off.

"It's true! I should've done something about it right when we found out it was missing. I should've gotten it when I rescued you," Tommy yelled.

"Come here," Kim said.

Kim took Tommy in her arms.

"It's alright. It's going to be alright," she said.

She smiled and kissed his cheek. Kim always had the stronger will of the two, but she had her break downs too.

"I can't believe I let Rita and Zedd win again. God, I hate them," Tommy said, picking his head up to look at Kim.

"Yeah, me too," Kim sighed, giving him a little smile.

"They took away the only thing that kept me going in battle, and that was you, Kim," Tommy said.

Kim picked her head up and hugged Tommy.

"When you're out there, just think of me. I'm always going to be with you. Here," she said.

Kim placed her power coin in Tommy's hand and closed it tightly.

"I'll always be with you," she whispered.

That evening, Kim and Tommy went for a walk on the beach.

"What are the Power Rangers going to do without a Pink Ranger," Kim asked.

Tommy looked over at Kim and shrugged his shoulders.

"I don't know," he admitted.

"I guess this is the end of the Pink Ranger," Kim said.

Kim grabbed Tommy's hand, never wanting to let go.

"Tommy, I'm really scared," she cried.

"Remember what you told me when I lost my powers," he asked.

He stopped and grabbed Kim's other hand.

"Yes," Kim answered in a soft voice. "I told you that you would be okay, and that you would always have as all."

Tommy then realized what he needed to say.

"And you will always have me. Oh, Kim, I'll always be there for you," he said.

He leaned forwarded and kissed her.

"Thanks," Kim smiled.

"Let's get you home," Tommy said.

I messed this up a little bit. Sue me! It won't do any good.
