A few days had passed, since Kimberly went to Paris. None of the rangers knew where she was. At the end of the week, Tommy and the other rangers went to school early that morning. They wanted to talk about Kimberly in private. All of them thought the youth center would be the prefect place. Ernie saw a letter with a Paris address. It was addressed to Tommy. Tommy was sitting at the table with Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and Billy.
"You've got a letter," stated Ernie. "It's from Kimberly."
Tommy opened the letter and his mouth dropped.
"What happened?" gasped Aisha. "Read us the letter!"
"I don't want to read it," answered Tommy.
"He's at the point of tears," said Adam. "Hand me the letter, I'll read it."
Tommy quickly handed the letter to Adam. He began to read the letter out loud.
Dear Tommy,
The reason why I haven't been at school is because I'm in Paris. When I left your house, I found out we had to go to Paris. Ivan got a call and had to go back. When we reached Paris, Ivan, my mother, and I sat down and had a talk. We thought about calling you and booking you a flight this weekend. But, Ivan had some concerns. We discussed them. I realized that what he said was for the best. It wasn't fair to ask you to leave Angel Grove, just so you could come with me. I don't know if a long distance relationship will work or not. We are in two different countries. It may be best if we break up. There are other girls out in the world, and I hope you find the right girl.
Kimberly
Adam looked up at Tommy. He was almost in tears and he began to walk out. Rocky and Adam followed him. The letter was still on the table. Aisha picked it up. The letter had tear stains and blood stains all over it.
"Billy, look at this!" gasped Aisha.
Billy took a look at the letter and his mouth dropped. They got up from the table; they began to look for Tommy,Rocky, and Adam. Billy and Aisha found them outside. Tommy was really upset.
"Tommy, she didn't mean what she wrote!" declared Aisha. "Take a closer look at the letter."
Billy handed Tommy the letter and he took a closer look at it. He noticed the blood stains and tears stains on the letter.
"Something is wrong!" stated Adam. "Someone must have forced her to write the letter."
"It was probably Ivan," said Tommy. "I knew that there was something I didn't like about him."
"What are you going to do?" asked Aisha.
"I'm going to Paris!" declared Tommy.
"You can't leave school early," warned Adam. "You'll get in trouble."
"I'll say I'm sick and need to go home," answered Tommy. "When I get home, I'll tell my parents and we'll go."
Aisha saw Tommy go into Ms. Appleby's classroom. He told her that he was sick and needed to go home. In the meantime, Kimberly was making plans to go back to Angel Grove. She wanted to get away from Ivan, as quickly as she could. Ivan was at the park, he was asked to paint a picture. Kimberly's mom called her into the bedroom.
"I know you are a power ranger," said Caroline, "And I've realized who Ivan is. He's that purple man that you fought before. Kimberly, it isn't safe here. You must leave and go back to Angel Grove. I know I can't go, so I've made arrangements to go into hiding."
"I don't have money," answered Kimberly. "I can't afford it."
Caroline gave Kimberly enough money to buy a plane ticket.
"Go get your book bag that you used for school," declared Caroline. "Take two outfits and everything that is important to you."
"All I have is the outfit I wore on the plane and one other outfit," answered Kimberly." Ivan didn't bring any of my stuff. All of my stuff is at our house. The only thing that I have that matters to me is Tommy's jacket."
Kimberly went back to her room and changed into the clothes she wore on the plane. She changed into her light pink tee and dark pink jumper dress. Kimberly put on her pink socks and black Mary Jane shoes. Then she put on Tommy's jacket. She grabbed her black athletic pants, black athletic jacket, and pink turtle neck. Kimberly stuffed them into her backpack.
She quickly went back down stairs to her mom's room. Her mother hugged her good bye. Caroline promised to call her as much as she could. But, she couldn't reveal her location. Kimberly left the house and walked to the air port and bought a ticket to the next flight to Angel Grove. The next flight was in 20 minutes. She quickly made it to the right location and got on the plane. She was on her way back to Angel Grove. She knew that she'd be in Angel Grove at 8:30 PM.
Meanwhile, Tommy waited all day for his parents to get home from work. Finally after they got home, he begged them to go to the air port. Jan called the air port and all of the flights to Paris were booked. The earliest flight that they could get would be late that night.
"Tommy, we can go tomorrow morning," explained Jan. "It's pouring down rain and it's getting late. We don't know what her address is."
"It's on the envelope," declared Tommy.
"You've shown it to me several times," answered Jan. "I do believe what you suspect is true. We will go tomorrow."
"We can pack tonight," suggested James.
"Dad, she could be hurt or something! We need to go now!" demanded Tommy.
"We don't have time to pack and make it to the air port," explained Jan.
"I'll go on my own!" shouted Tommy.
"You can't," gasped Jan. "You are only 17. You've never been on a plane before."
"Yes, I have," corrected Tommy. "I was on a plane, when we went to Australia for a school trip."
"Let him go," suggested James. "Tommy, here is some money for a two way trip. I'll drive you to the airport. We have 45 mintutes,we can probably get you on the plane in time. It leaves at 10:00."
When Tommy was getting ready to walk out the door, he got a surprise. It was Kimberly. She was standing on his door step. She was soaking wet.
"Kimberly!" gasped Tommy.
He quickly opened the door and threw his arms around her. Both James and Jan were very stunned to see that she was there.
"When did you get here?" asked Jan.
"About 30 minutes ago," answered Kimberly.
"You're soaked, did you walk all the way here? asked James. "Does your mother know?"
"Yes, I walked all the way here, from the airport," answered Kimberly. "My mother had me come back here. The guy that she was going to marry was Ivan Ooze. She went into hiding because she couldn't leave with me."
"Who is Ivan Ooze," asked Jan.
"He's the purple man that the power rangers fought a few months ago," replied James. "How would Caroline get mixed up with him."
"Mom, Dad, there's something you need to know," interrupted Tommy. "Kim and I are two of the power rangers. She's the pink ranger and I'm the white ranger. Rocky is red, Aisha is yellow, Billy is blue, and Adam is black."
Tommy showed them his morpher and power coin. His parents were stunned even more. They noticed Kimberly had cuts all over her body. She told them all about Ivan Ooze torturing her. And how he made her write the letter. Jan wanted to go by Kimberly's house to get her stuff. But, she realized that there could be a trap waiting for them. Suddenly Tommy and Kimberly's communicators went off.
"This is Tommy go ahead," answered Tommy.
"Tommy, you and Kimberly need to teleport to the command center," ordered Zordon.
Tommy and Kimberly teleported to the command center. Zordon and Alpha were waiting for them.
"It's good to see you are safe, Kimberly!" cried Alpha. "We've tried to locate you; but, we couldn't find you for awhile."
"What do you need?" asked Tommy.
"We know Ivan Ooze is back," declared Zordon. "We realized it, when we saw an image on the view globe of Ivan torturing Kimberly. Sorry, we didn't tell anyone. We've received some important news. In the year 2015, there is a new team of rangers. They are the dino charge rangers. It's the first team without a yellow ranger."
"Every team in the future, has a yellow ranger, expect this one," explained Alpha. "There was suppose to be a yellow ranger, but the yellow gem was lost. Recently, we found it and did some experiments on it. We also found a crimson gem. These gems choose who they bound with. Maybe they are meant for you two."
Alpha handed them a gem. The yellow gem bonded with Kimberly and the crimson gem bonded with Tommy.
