Tommy and Kimberly walked through their new apartment. It was a nice looking place. The apartment already had all new furniture. It had a living room, a kitchen, three bedrooms, and there was two bathrooms. One bathroom was in the hallway. The other bathroom was in their bedroom. Tommy was pleased with their bedroom. It had had white floral wall paper,it had white curtains, and a tan carpet. They had a queen size bed. Their comforter was white and it had pink, red, and yellow flowers on it. Kimberly began to unpack their clothes and put them in the closet. While Kimberly was putting their things away, Tommy went to take a look through the rest of their apartment. One bedroom was painted pink with pink bedding. The other bedroom was painted green with green bedding. The main bathroom was light green, the kitchen was beige, and the living room was light blue. He went to look at the bathroom in their bedroom. Tommy noticed it had a hot tub.
"Kim, we have a hot tub in our private bathroom. Do you want to get in it?" Tommy asked.
Kimberly was a little nervous when he asked her that. She still had cuts, scrapes, and bruises all over her body, from where Ivan tortured her. They didn't have time to heal. She was nervous about Tommy's reaction.
"Sure," she answered nervously.
Tommy got out his new crimson swimming trunks and white tee. He handed Kimberly her new yellow swimsuit.
"Let's change, so we can go try it out," stated Tommy.
Kimberly grabbed her suit, her pink and yellow chemise, and her white silk robe and went into the bathroom to change. She first put on her suit. Then she put on her chemise, and then her robe. Once she was dressed, she opened the door. Tommy was waiting outside the door. He walked into the bathroom and turned on the hot tub. She saw the jets come on and water was running into the tub. Once it was the right temperature, he got in. Kimberly just stood there.
"Kim, aren't you going to get in the hot tub?" asked Tommy.
She just stood there and didn't know what do. Kimberly slowly removed her silk robe. It feel to the floor. Tommy saw her dressed in her chemise.
"Kim, didn't you put on your suit?" asked Tommy.
"Yes," Kimberly answered.
"Take off your gown and get in," requested Tommy.
"I can't," answered Kimberly.
"We've been to the beach before," replied Tommy. "I've seen you in a bathing suit several times."
"You don't want to see me in one this time," declared Kimberly.
"Why?" questioned Tommy.
"You just don't," said Kimberly.
"Kim, I turned the hot tub on for the both of us to get in," replied Tommy.
Kimberly sat down by the hot tub. She slowly removed her Chemise. Then she took a seat next to Tommy in the hot tub. He put his arm around her.
"Beautiful, what's the matter with you?" asked Tommy.
"I was afraid how you would react, when you saw my cuts and bruises," sobbed Kimberly.
Tommy took a closer looker at Kimberly. He noticed that she had more cuts, bruises, and scraps on her body. He pulled her closer to him and he held her tightly.
"So, Ivan tortured your worse, than I thought?" gasped Tommy. "You don't have any more, do you?"
"Just bruises," sobbed Kimberly. "They are under the suit."
Tommy's mouth dropped. He had no idea what she had been through. She told him about Ivan Ooze using his flute and magic to torture her.
"He'll never do anything like that to you again," promised Tommy. "You're married now and you are mine. And mine only!"
Tommy felt Kimberly move closer to him and she put her arms around him.
"Thank you, Tommy," said Kimberly.
"Are you okay?" asked Tommy.
"I will be," answered Kimberly.
For the next two hours, they remained in the hot tub enjoying each others company.
1995, Angel Grove
The alarms in the command center started going off. Zordon insistently knew Ivan was aware Kimberly was no longer in Paris.
"Zordon, what's wrong?" cried Alpha.
"Ivan returned home. He knows Kimberly and Caroline are gone," replied Zordon.
"Is Caroline in danger?" asked Alpha.
"No, just Kimberly," answered Zordon. "We'll keep Caroline and Tommy's parents safe. I don't think we should say anything to Tommy and Kimberly just yet. It's their wedding night. We don't need to ruin it."
"Are they are okay?" asked Alpha.
Zordon was able to get an image on the view globe. Tommy and Kimberly were in their new hot tub. They looked like they were relaxing peacefully. The alarms went off again. They got an image of Ivan on the screen. He was leaving the house in Paris. They knew he was headed to Angel Grove.
"Alpha, Tommy and Kimberly's clones will stay here. We will watch Tommy's parents. Alert the other rangers," declared Zordon. "Tell them Ivan knows that Kimberly is back here at Angel Grove."
"Will he know that we cloned them?" asked Alpha.
"More than likely," answered Zordon. "Then he will start searching all over for them. At this time, we don't have to worry about him finding them in the future."
2015,Amber Beach
Tommy and Kimberly had been in bed for over an hour; but, neither one of them could sleep. They were both excited about becoming apart of the Dino Charge team. But, they also wondered about the rangers back in 1995.
"What do you think about Amber Beach?" asked Kimberly.
"It seems okay," answered Tommy. "I like that our apartment is near the beach. When your cuts and bruises heal, we'll go to the beach."
"I'd like that very much," replied Kimberly. "What do you think the Dino Charge Rangers are like?"
"I honestly don't know," answered Tommy.
"Tommy, what did you think about seeing the ugly bruise?" asked Kimberly.
"Nothing," replied Tommy. "I still think you're beautiful."
"Seriously?" asked Kimberly.
"Seriously," answered Tommy. "Nothing can change that."
He felt her move closer to him.
"Kim, are you okay," asked Tommy.
"I'm just a little cold,"answered Kimberly.
Tommy pulled her closer to him.
"Is that better?" Tommy asked.
"Much better," replied Kimberly. "How do you feel about us being newly married at 17, being sent to the future, and not having any of our friends or family?"
It took Tommy awhile to answer. Deep down he was scared. But, since he had her with him, he felt safer and more confident.
"I'm scared,Kim," admitted Tommy. "We're in a strange place and we are in the future. I wonder how our friends and family are doing. I realize that it may be a while, before we can return home. But, I am okay."
"How are you okay," asked Kimberly. "I'm feeling the same way."
"If this had to happen to me and I could only bring one person with me, I am glad its you," answered Tommy. "Since I have you here with me, I feel safer and I have more confidence."
"I feel the same way," replied Kimberly.
Tommy realized it was getting late; they had lost track of time since they had been laying in the dark talking. The next day would be a big day for them, he knew the need rest. He told Kimberly they need to get some sleep. Kimberly put her arms around him and he pulled her as close as he could. Eventually, they feel asleep.
