Things didn't make sense as Kimberly began to wake up in a forest of seaweed. The seaweed was playing over her face as if it was green hair. Sea horses, sea turtles, and fish were swimming in the back ground. If she wasn't mistaken she could have sworn she saw a large group of clown fish. There was no way that they could be swimming in midair. As a human there was no way she could breathe underwater. The only way that could be was if she was a fish herself. However, there was no way that she could be a fish, because she still had her Carmel hair touching her shoulders. Before she had passed out, she was still wearing her bikini. She moved her hands around her chest and immediately noticed something different. When she first bought her bikini, it was made like an underwire bra and to give the wearer plenty of support when they wore it on the beach. And it was made from nylon and spandex. But, the cups felt like they had become harder and smooth like on the outside. However, on the inside, they still felt from all of the padding. The shape of the cups still felt like they were shaped to be a mermaid shell bra.

"Please just let this be a dream," Kimberly prayed just as was about to place a hand on her hip to feel for her bikini bottoms. "When I wake up, everything will fine and I'll be with Tommy."

She placed her hands on her hips, she could no longer feel the waist band of her bikini bottoms. It was very unlike that she lost them because they had no ties at the sides and they had tight fit. Kimberly glanced down at her legs and was in for a huge surprise. She started to shake when she saw she had a rose-pink mermaid tail. Kimberly pinched her arm hoping that she would wake up. But, she didn't awake from a dream. Instead she remained wide awake. This was real and it wasn't a dream. Terror over took her face and her eyes widened as tears began to form in her eyes when she saw she was actually a mermaid. The last thing she remember before she passed out was that she saw another mermaid. It was only was the waist down and they had a green tail. But, that wouldn't be much use because a lot of mermaids that she had seen in story books had a green tail and also in other colors as well. She was longing to know to know more about this mermaid. There was no way it could have been Tommy because the beam of light hit her. And it was high unlikely that he'd have a tail just like her.

"Kimberly!" called out a familiar voice.

Looking up, she was into total disbelief. Swimming towards her was a boy she hopped she never see again. Blonde hair, green eyes, muscular arms and both of his fists doubled up. From the waist down he had a green tail. Swimming next to him was a creature she saw her nightmares. Blonde hair, red eyes, pale purple skin from the waist up, and from the waist down eight long octopus tentacles.

"Kimberly!" Harry gasped as he lifted her off the ground. He pulled her into a tight hug and just held her. "I thought I'd never see you again."

"Harry this doesn't make sense," Kimberly said taking deep breaths. "The last time I saw you, you threw me down a wooden stair case. I thought that you were destroyed. How can you be a mermaid-"

"-merman," Harry corrected as he just continued to hold her. "You probably remember that I was into turning people into monsters. But, that was because I've always wanted to live under the sea-"

"-what are you talking about?!" Kimberly interrupted as she wiggled out of his arms. "You never told me that."

"It was a surprise for my beautiful girl friend," he explained taking her by the hand. "We were taking a walk out by the ocean one day and you told how you used to dream about becoming a mermaid and living your life in the ocean-"

"-Harry, I was just a kid," Kimberly corrected as she started to swim away towards the surface. "We dream of silly things as a kid."

"Not so fast!" Harry yelled. "Terry, stop her!"

The human like octopus threw out one of its large tentacles and wrapped itself tightly around Kimberly's arms and shoulders, pinning her hands to her sides. Terry pulled his tentacle back and Kimberly was face to face with Harry again.

"Where were you going?" Harry demanded as he slapped her across the face. "Did I say you could leave?"

"I'm sorry, Harry," Kimberly apologized as she started to struggle in Terry's grip. "I can't be with you. I'm in love with Tommy Oliver-"

"-what, I thought I wrote break up letters to both of you. You started to date me and Tommy started to date a girl named Kat-"

"-Harry, we met in college again," Kimberly explained. "We got stuck in all the same classes. At first I thought I was going to hate it. But, it turns out that he posed as a pink ranger fan on a chess site. I also love the pink ranger and at the idea I had no idea it was really Tommy. We started talking again and I was encouraged to talk with Tommy again. We talked during our swimming class and we showed each other the break up letters. Both of them were dated October 17th, 1996 and Tommy's address had your address instead of mine. We realized we had been tricked and decided to become friends again. It wasn't long before we were dating and on my birthday he asked me to marry him. I said yes and we are getting married at Christmas."

"You aren't going anywhere," Harry smirked pinching Kimberly's cheeks. "You will remain a mermaid and get the gems for me-"

"-no!" Kimberly shouted. "You will use them for your own evil use. How did you know about them anyway?"

"All of the villains have known about them since Rita and Zordon fought," Harry revealed. "But, no one knew where they were. I met Lord Zedd while you were in Florida. He was wanting the gems but knew anyone with evil purposes would perish. So, we hatched a plan for me to study how to turn people into monsters. Sea monsters to be exact. I was afraid to use the potion on myself, so tested it out on all of my friends. But, all of them perished due to mistakes I made while creating the potion. When, I finally got it right, I tested it on my twin brother Terry. I feared you'd break up with me so I told him to pose as me and throw you down the stairs and you passed out. If I couldn't have you, then no one could either. I wanted you to be afraid of boys and never let another one gets close to you. Zedd appeared and teleported me and Terry into the cave. Terry was already sent to the bottom. Just as I was about to take the gems, I told Zedd that he couldn't have them. They were going to be mine and mine only. So, he turned me into a merman. I've been stuck down here for over two years-"

"-how did you know about the evil green ranger-"

"-easy, Lord Zedd told me all about Tommy and how you two were rangers," Harry hissed through clenched teeth. "So, I used that against you. I was able to disguise my voice, so you wouldn't recognize it and it worked. I don't know how you became a mermaid, but I love the idea of having you here."

"Harry, I could never love you," Kimberly sobbed as tears poured down her face. "I'm in love with Tommy. I'm afraid I've lost him because I know that he's tried to swim to the bottom of this cave for me."

"I hate to tell you but you are correct," Harry smirked. "When you became a mermaid, he would only have three hours to rescue you. And if he didn't make it to you, you'll turn to stone forever. I'll be able to keep you in my treasure room. If I can't have the really Kimberly Hart as a wife, then I'll have her trapped in stone where she can't escape from me-"

"Ouch!" Terry screamed with a very sharp object was stabbed into his tentacle. "Harry, please help!"

"Who's there!" Harry shouted when a merman with a green fin punched him in the side of the face. Before Harry could get a good look at the person, they doubled up their fist and hit him in the nose as hard as they could. Harry sank to the ground and Kimberly finally saw the identity of the person. Brown short spiky hair, chocolate eyes, handsome face, muscular, well-built, and still taller than her in his merman form.

"TOMMY!" Kimberly squealed when Terry released her and she swam into Tommy's arms. "I can't believe you're here! How'd you find me?"

"I followed that ugly octopus until a cloud of smoke appeared," Tommy expressed as he continued to hold her tightly in his arms. "Then, when the smoke cleared, you were gone. But, you weren't too hard to find. All I did was swim around until I saw a rose-pink mermaid tail. Let's get out of here!"

"Not so fast!" Harry shouted.

A large tentacle quickly wrapped itself around Tommy and Kimberly. "I've got them!" Terry cheered when Harry finished wrapping seed around his wound. "Neither one of them are going anywhere!"

"Tommy Oliver," Harry hissed as he swam over to them ignoring the blood running down his face. "I finally meet the boy, that I hurt by the break up letter claiming Kimberly met someone else-"

"-and I finally meet the boy who threw my precious girlfriend down a stair case," Tommy finished as he glared at Harry. "I forgot to mention, that Kim and I never stopped loving each other, even after your cruel trick."

Harry swam over to a patch of sea weed and pulled up several long pieces. He swam back over to Tommy and Kimberly with an evil grin. "She isn't going anywhere," Terry snickered as he squeezed them both tighter. "She's staying with Harry."

"If she stays, I'm staying too," Tommy decided giving Kimberly a peck on the cheek. "I'm not going to let you take her from me."

"Harry, Tommy found Kimberly before three hours were up," Terry informed when Kimberly gave Tommy a kiss on the neck. "He won't turn to stone."

"Terry, you are so dumb and stupid. Don't you think I am aware of that!?" Harry shouted glaring at Tommy. "But, if they don't make it back up to the surface within 24 hours, they will remain mermaids forever-"

"-I'm not dumb and stupid," Terry corrected as he glared at his brother. "I put the mailing address on the letter addressed to Tommy. You said put a return address-"

"-but, not ours," Harry screamed as he swam over to his brother and punch him in the stomach. "If it wasn't for you, Tommy and Kimberly would never have gotten back together-"

"-as soon as Tommy and I get free, we're leaving," Kimberly warned.

"I hate to tell you, but neither one of you are leaving," Harry smirked. Terry moved his tentacles down a little bit as Harry started to tie sea weed around Tommy and Kimberly's shoulders.

"Harry what do you have planned for us?" Tommy questioned raising a brow, when he felt sea weed being tied around his and Kimberly's waist.

"I haven't decided yet," Harry snapped. " I will think about it tonight. I once heard a myth that if my true love was turned into a mermaid and she confessed she loved me and kissed me; I could be human again. I've wanted that for two years. Once it hits the three-year mark, I am stuck like this forever."

"Harry, it won't work," Kimberly warned when Harry tied both their fins together and tied the end of the rope to an old anchor. "I think that if I kissed you, something could go terribly wrong."

"I am one step ahead of you," Harry remarked with a grin. "The myth said if another boy was to become a merman and a love triangle was involved the girl would have to choose who she loved. Otherwise, very harsh consequences could happen."

"Like what?" Tommy asked.

"If she doesn't decide everyone who trapped down here will turn to stone," Harry revealed as a look of terror appeared on both Kimberly and Tommy's faces. "If she chooses the right boy, then the girl will be able to reverse the spell for her and the boy that she really truly loves. And she just has to kiss him."

"I had gone intentions; I want to create an underwater colony that will fight for justice. But, someone like you only wants a girl like Kimberly for their own personal gain-"

"-I love her!" Tommy exploded as his face turned red. "And she knows that-"

"-QUIET!" Harry shouted, he grabbed one of the longest and widest pieces of sea weed that he had and placed it over Tommy's mouth. He started to wrap it tightly around Tommy's mouth several times, and then he finally tied in a tight knot behind Tommy's head. "Kimberly, I am going to give you until morning to make your decision. I'm going to return to my cave for the night."

"She has to make the decision on her own," Terry remarked as he started to pinch Tommy's cheeks. "It wouldn't be fair if you told her things that weren't true just so your own personal gain. Sweet Dreams, Tommy! I know she will Choose Harry!"

Harry swam away, leaving Tommy and Kimberly alone. "I can't believe Harry still wants me after all this time," she whispered gazing up into his eyes. "And I never knew he had a twin brother-"

"-Hmmmmm," Tommy moaned.

"You're frustrated because you can't actually communicate with me," Kimberly guessed. "And frustrated about not knowing what will happen when I make my decision."

All Tommy did was shake his head yes.

"I've already made my decision," Kimberly expressed as tear shimmered in her eyes. "I love you."

"See, Tommy!"

Kimberly looked to her left and saw Harry swimming towards them.

"Harry, what are you doing?!" Kimberly asked as he bit Tommy's shoulder.

"MMMMMMMMMMMMPH!" Tommy grunted in pain. Terry swam over to him and bit Tommy's fin. "MMMMMMMMMMMMMMMPH!"

"We're giving Tommy pay back!" Harry laughed after he finished Tommy's shoulder. Teeth marks were left in his shoulder and drops of blood were running down Tommy's shoulder. "I knew you were going to choose me!"

"Harry, actually I have-"

"-you don't have to tell us," Terry interrupted when he finished biting Tommy's fin. "Tommy got what he deserved. His heart broken and he's stuck down here all alone."

"Trust me on this one," Kimberly whispered to Tommy giving him a wink. "I have a plan, neither one of them will see coming. Just go a long with me."

"So, tell us! Who did you pick?" Harry hinted as he cut Tommy and Kimberly's fins free from the sea weed. "Come on tell us-"

"-don't I get a proper break up?" Kimberly hinted in a nasty voice as she pretended to glare at Tommy with hate. "I have thought of the most horrible things I could say to the one I want to break up."

"You're really going to break up with him?" Harry gasped when he watched Tommy hang his head. "Are you serious?"

"What do you think?" Kimberly lied with a smirk.

"What do you have planned for him?" Terry cried as he watched Tommy close his eyes.

"Oh, it's going to be painful," Kimberly retorted in anger. "And I have a lot of things I want to say and do to him. By the time, I'm finished he will know who I truly love. Can I have a few minutes alone with him. I know he's going to try to make excuses so he needs to be able to communicate with me. Terry will you cut me free and restrain Tommy, so I can take him into the cave and give him two black eyes, a bloody nose, and even bite him a few times. I will call you when I am ready to break up with him. I want him looking at his worst."

Harry cut the restraints and Kimberly was freed, but Terry wrapped his tentacle around Tommy. "Do you want to restrain him?" Harry asked as he pulled up several pieces of sea weed. "It would add more to the worst break up in history."

"Yes," Kimberly replied. "Please hold his hands behind his back."

"Here, you go," Harry laughed as he handed Kimberly the sea weed. He grabbed Tommy's hands and held them behind his back as Kimberly started to wrap sea weed gently around Tommy's arms several times and tied the ends in a loose knot. She swam behind Tommy's back and grabbed his hands and started to gently wrap it around both of Tommy's wrists. "See, I know she doesn't love you-"

"-you don't have to remind me," Tommy sighed as he hung his head. "She's told me that several times since you left us alone together."

"Tommy, follow me to the cave!" Kimberly demanded as she turned to look at Terry and Harry with a smile. "I'll call you when I'm ready to kiss you, Harry. Until then, stay away. Things are going to get very ugly between me and Tommy."


Tommy felt Kimberly pull the knots loose and all of the sea weed fell off him. He swam over to her and pulled her against his chest wrapping his arms around her. Tommy's hug was warm, comforting, loving, and in his strong arms everything seemed to be safe and sound.

"Are you going to give me two black eyes, a bloody nose, and bite me?" Tommy joked.

"No, of course not," Kimberly giggled moving closer to him. "I was only tricking Harry and Terry."

"I know," Tommy smiled. "Are you going to let them see who you really want to kiss?"

"Not until it's over," Kimberly breathed pressing her forehead against his.

She gently cupped his face and pressed her lips against his. His eyes closed and all he could feel was her. Her love, her soft lips, and her gentle touch. Tommy wrapped his arms around Kimberly's waist and pulled her to his chest, Deeping the loving and intense kiss.

"NO!" Terry Screamed. "SHE TRICKED US!"

"DON'T, YOU THINK I KNOW THAT!" Harry yelled. "WHY ELSE WOULD WE BE TURNING TO STONE!"

Tommy and Kimberly turned around; Terry and Harry were standing several feet away from them. They were getting to be very stiff and couldn't move.

"You may have tricked us, but you still haven't found the gems!" Harry shouted as he finished turning to stone.

"And you can't get them as merpeople," Terry warned. "You'll have to wait, because you don't know how to return to normal. We know how you can return to normal but we weren't about to tell you. There is more to it than just reaching the surface before 24 hours are up. But, you have figure it out on your own!"

Terry's body suddenly turned grey and it appeared as if he was carved out of stone. "I think we beat them," Tommy guessed as he watched Harry's stone like body fall to ground and break into dozens of pieces. "At least he can't hurt anyone else."

"Tommy, he perished the way he lived," Kimberly staring down at the broken pieces of the stone like Harry. "His heart was cold, bitter, and evil. He was toxic-"

"-I bet he broke up other relationships besides ours," Tommy suspected as he turned to look at Terry. "At least Terry's stupidity helped us figure out who was actually behind the break up letters from a few years back."

"I have to agree with you on that," Kimberly smiled taking his hands in hers. They swam up to the surface and saw the dino gems sitting on a stone like table and they were giving off an even stronger glow. Tommy swam up behind her and wrapped his arms around her. "Is something wrong?"

"If I hadn't had been so curious about the gems, we wouldn't be mermaids," Tommy sighed as he held Kimberly close to his body. "I bet our class has already left and I have no idea where they-"

"-Tommy, they were going to spend three days at the beach," Kimberly reminded him. "Mr. Masterson said so himself."

"That's right!" Tommy remembered giving Kimberly a kiss on top of the head. "I guess, I am still pretty forgetful."

"But, I love you anyway," Kimberly promised.

"Kimberly, we finally meet at last!"

Another mermaid swam up to the surface. She had light brown hair, a turquoise tail and a turquoise shell bra. Her hair was several inches away from being considered arm pit length.

"Who are you?" Tommy asked pulling Kimberly closer to him. "How do you know my girlfriend?"

"My name is Aqua," answered the mermaid. "When she escaped Divatox's ship, she was 100 feet away from the surface and was trying to swim up to the surface. But, she passed out when she reached 50 feet. I sensed she was pure of heart and I rescued her. I took her up to the surface."

"I knew I saw mermaid when I passed out!" Kimberly gasped while she stared at the mermaid. "But, how do you know my name."

"I have heard that these gems can only be removed by two people. One of them have the animal spirit of the crane and the other one has animal spirit of the falcon. They were on the first team of power rangers. Even though the other four have the animal spirits of the ape, wolf, bear, and frog, the falcon and the crane are the most powerful-"

"-how can that even be possible!" Kimberly interrupted as her eyebrows rose. "I was just a damsel in destress. Zedd captured me many times-"

"-you are stronger than you give yourself credit for," Tommy assured her stroking her hair. "I can name several instances. You flew in your uncle's plane and when he passed out, you landed the plane. When the Terror Toad ate all the other rangers, you defeated him on your own. You were able to resist Guitardo's hypnotic guitar playing and when we had to fight him on our own, you discovered we'd have to fight him with music. When Goldar captured you and so Zedd could make you his bride, you were able to fool them into thinking the dust that they through on you worked by acting just like Rita- "

"-how'd you know about that? I didn't tell you-"

"-Trini told me awhile back," Tommy said. "And I can name more things. When you went back in time to 1880, you were able to get the wild west rangers to work with you to use the power coins and help you fight off Goldar and Needlenose. When the other rangers and I had to go to Edenoi when it was attacked by Count Dregon, you were able to take on Repellator-"

"-but I gave him the flu-"

"-you were still able to fight him until we got there to help you. You destroyed Artistmole, and when your power coin was stolen and you were really weak, you were willing to risk your life to go help Kat. And when someone pulled a prank on me and stole my clothes, you were willing to climb to the top of the football post to get my clothes back."

"If you can do all of that stuff, you aren't a damsel in destress," declared Aqua with a smiled, placing a hand on Kimberly's shoulder. "And it shows you are one of the strongest rangers. I saw you and Tommy were able to work together to defeat Harry and Terry. I could tell the both of you have an unbreakable bond. You were able to look able look into each other's hearts and minds."

"Beautiful, I know you really do love me. You've proven it to me many times," Tommy expressed giving her a peck on the cheek. "I never believed for a minute that you meant all those cruel things to Harry and Terry about me. I knew exactly what you were thinking, you were going trick them. And I would have known even if you didn't tell me. I would have known to act hurt and shocked. You wanted to get me alone so you could kiss me and defeat Harry and his brother. I can't wait to marry you."

"Just like he is your soulmate, the crane's soul mate is the falcon. They are known as the "Winged Lord" and the "Winged Lady" of the sky," Aqua continued. "They have their own power, but together they are unstoppable-"

"-what does this have to do with me, Tommy, and the dino gems," Kimberly interrupted when looked up at the gems giving off a much brighter glow.

"The two of you will use those dino gems for good and they could even help out another team," Aqua revealed. She had a small flute around her neck and she started to play it. A beam of light hit Tommy and Kimberly again and suddenly they had legs again. "You may go get the gems now. Good luck to you."

She handed Kimberly a tiny pink crane necklace and Tommy and tiny white falcon necklace. "What are these?" Kimberly questioned as she put the necklace around her neck. "Are they special?"

"These will help you in a time of need," Aqua said as she disappeared under water. "Good luck to both of you."

Tommy swam over to the ledge and put his back pack on. He swam over to the other side of the cave, where Kimberly had collected the dino gems. Opening his back pack, he handed Kimberly his black Hawaiian shirt and she wrapped the gems in them. Kimberly carefully, placed the gems in Tommy's backpack and they walked up the stairs.

"Kim, we can't tell anyone about these gems," Tommy warned lacing his fingers up with hers. "We need to find a way we can use them for good."

"Tommy, I've decided that I want to master in Paleontology and Marine Biology-"

"-why Paleontology?" Tommy questioned when they stepped foot back into the forest.

"I want to learn everything I can about fossils and dinosaurs," she explained. "The more I learn about them; I will be able to help you plan how we are going to use those gems."

"Thanks, precious," Tommy beamed. "No wonder, Harry and other villains were after these. We're just lucky they didn't fall into the wrong hands. I know Rita and Zedd would have used these for evil purposes."


Author's note:

Originally, Harry wasn't supposed to make an appearance again. But, I was thinking about what would make Tommy and Kim retrieving the dino gems an interesting topic to read about. I was going to just have an octopus challenge them to see if they could have the gems. But, then I thought about and thought people would much rather read about Tommy meeting Harry.
