Yahoo! I'm finally posting something! This is, obviously, my first submitted and posted fic. This is set after Billy goes to Aquaitar.
I hope to make this a series. Any comments and flames welcomed.
The Power Rangers belong to Saban. Ashleigh Dumont-Hart and Crystal Anderson belong to me. Now on with the fic!
Going Home
Kimberly Hart stood at the edge of the cliff, staring down at the Atlantic Ocean below, thinking. She thought about the rangers. Rangering had changed her life so much. If she had never meet Zordon and Alpha-5 she never would have meet all the people who helped shape her life. But it was more than that, she thought tiredly, as she sat down with her legs dangling over the edge. They were her family. She was closer to them, than she was to anyone else, including the people who brought her into this world, her parents. Thinking about her parents brought back the pain. She now knew how Billy felt when he lost his mom and when Rocky lost his dad.
A month before her mom and step-dad, Adrian, had been in a freak car accident. The tires off her mom's car had suddenly came off while her mom and Adrian had been on the highway. The car had skidded about two hundred feet before coming to a stop and exploding. They never had a chance. Now she had to take care of her little half sister, Ashleigh. Ashleigh was two years old and couldn't go to any one else. Her brother, Keith, had died about a year before. Her father had been dead for about two years. All of Ashleigh's grandparents were dead, leaving only her.
She had made plans immediately to move back to Angel Grove. She had informed Wallace Cranston about the accident and he had offered her a place to stay. After much thinking and arguing with Wallace, Kim had agreed. Wallace had sent her several job applications but one had caught her eye. 'Angel Grove Gymnastics.' She had sent all the information and had been accepted as a coach. She would work after school. She would be starting both her knew job and school about a week after she arrived in Angel Grove. A week to get in touch with everyone. A week of explaining. She looked out at the ocean and smiled, thinking that she would soon be seeing the Pacific Ocean, instead of the Atlantic Ocean. She looked at her watch. 7:59. There flight was at 11:15pm, she had gotten a night flight so when she got to Angel Grove it would be about 8:15pm there.
"Kimberly! We should get going. Your flight leaves in about three hours, and you have some things you have to do before you leave good ol' Florida." Kimberly rolled her eyes and turned around. Her roommate Crystal Anderson, was leaning out the window while trying to keep Ashleigh from playing with the car keys. Kim giggled and hurried to the car. "well, then in the words of the worst pun and joke maker in the world, 'lets get this saddle up on the horse , so we can mosey on along.'" Crystal groaned as she moved to the passenger seat and Kim climbed in the drivers seat. "that was definitly one of the worst puns you have ever made!" Kimberly started up the car and pulled onto the road. "well don't blame me, blame Rocky. He's the one who said it first." Kimberly giggled as she remembered the trip to the cattle and horse farm where Rocky had made the pun.
"Okay lets see. You've already talked to the post office, and all your mail will be forwarded to you in Angel Grove. You've talked to doctor's and such and all yours and Ashleigh's medical records are already in Angel Grove." She stopped a minute, glanced at Kim and muttered something and checked another item of the list in her hand. "There's only the matter of loading all your boxes into the van, me getting a ton of snacks for my little road trip and you going to city hall and getting the adoption papers." Crystal sighed and muttered under her breathe "lets just pray you don't miss your flight."
Two and a half hours later they were sitting down at the airport, when a announcement came over the loud speaker. "flight 313 from Orlando, Florida to Angel Grove, California is now boarding. Repeat flight 313 from Orlando, Florida to Angel Grove, California is now boarding." "Well that's us. I'll see you in Angel Grove in about a week. Man I'm going to miss you." Kim hugged Crystal. Then she picked up Ashleigh and her carry on bag. She looked at Crystal one more time, then walked in to the plane. She never looked back. One thought was on her mind when the plane lifted into the air. I'm going home.
