"Jc? I need to talk to you." Kim said to Jc, that night. She had drove over to his house, to tell him that she would be gone for a while. Jc had answered the door and that's what she said. He nodded confused and apprehensive. She walked and sat down one the couch in his sitting room. When he sat down she shot up and started pacing. Jc finally spoke up.

"Kim could you stop pacing, your making me dizzy." She abruptly stooped and plopped down next to Jc. She took a deep breath then looked directly into his eyes. She swallowed. He had gorgeous eyes. She looked away. This only made Jc even more confused. He suddenly had a thought.

"It's Jason, isn't it? Your dating him aren't you?" Jc asked her softly. She had never mentioned any boyfriend, but it would make sense. She was always on the phone with him, and she was excited to see him.

"Jason! Eww! No offense but he's like an annoying older brother to me. No unfortunately this is more serious." Kim couldn't believe he would think that. Although she couldn't blame him. If there position's were reversed she would think the exact same thing. she looked at him, might as well get this over with.

"Jc, I'm going on a trip to see an old acquaintance. I'll be gone for about a week, maybe more. And there's no way for you or anyone else to get in touch. Cell phones don't reach that far." He looked at her. Cell phones reached all around the world. Where could she be going?

"Where are you going? Another planet?" he was only joking but he caught the look on her face.

"Well, ya see there's something no one knows about me, not even my parents. The only people who know are my former teammates. You know where I was born and raised, right?" he looked at her and nodded.

"Angel Grove. You then moved here for the Pan Globels." She nodded she stood up and walked to the window. She stood there for a minute just staring out at the night sky.

"When I was 14 I made a promise to my mentor that I would never tell anyone," she turned around and looked him directly in the eye.

"That I was the Pink Ranger. I was the original Pink Ranger, holder of the Pink Pterodactyl powers, the Pink Firebird powers, and the Pink Crane powers. I passed the powers on to a good friend, Katherine when I came here." Jc had been standing about to walk over to her when she had turned and informed him of her old job. He had fallen back down on the couch. He looked at her, and could tell she was dead serious. In her eyes he could see a tint of fear. It about broke his heart when he saw that she was scared, of HIM. He stood up and took her in his arms and hugged her. She hugged back he pulled back and looked down at her. He cupped her face with his hand and brushed the tear that had fallen from her eye, away. He smiled.

"Kim. I don't want you to ever be scared of the way I'll handle something you tell me again. And I believe you. When we went on our first US tour, we had a small concert in Angel Grove and there was a monster attack that almost canceled the concert. But the rangers made it so we could still sing. I met the pink ranger. And she was short, humorous, and a mother hen. She was exactly like you." She gave a small grin. She hadn't forgotten that. She hadn't known he still remembered that. They sat down her still in his arms.

"Jc. I have to go and do a couple things on another planet. It seems that me and Cassie are the only ones who can do it. I promise I'll be OK. She's a ranger and I have a few tricks up my sleeve." Jc sighed. He hugged her again, slightly harder.

"When do you leave?" he looked at her. She gave a grim smile.

"Tomorrow. Jc do me a favor. Get to know Jason while I'm gone. He's a good friend and a good guy. He's like a big teddy bear. He was the red ranger and he was our leader for a long time. I want you guys to be friends. Please. For me?" she gave him her puppy dog eyes. She smiled when he nodded. He gave her another hug. He looked at her. She leaned in and they kissed. It was a gentle and light kiss that soon turned passionate and electric. He leaned and placed her on the couch still kissing. She pulled him down on top of her and laced her arms around his head. He started down her neck placing wet kisses. When he got to her ear he bit down gently on her earlobe, causing her to gasp. He grinned, but then realized exactly where this could go and pulled back she looked up at him and smiled gently. He kissed her gently.

"Kim, we should stop. I don't want to go that far yet and neither do you. I love you but we haven't even been on a official date, yet." He looked at her. She nodded slightly. He picked himself off her and help her sit up. They looked at each other and gave little grins. Kim glanced at her watch and gasped. She had been here for a little over two hours. Her brother was going to kill her.

"Jc, I have to go. Jordan is going to kill me. I told him I'd be home soon." They stood up and started walking to the door. When they got out on the porch, she turned and gave him a small kiss on the lips. He sighed.

"I'll call you before I leave, love you." He smiled.

"I love you too. And you better call me. Be careful, kay?" She nodded. She walked down to her jeep and hoped in. She waved as she drove out of the driveway and out of sight. He watched until he could no longer see her, then walked back inside. He looked upstairs then at the kitchen. He shook his head.

"I need a cold shower."

"And just where have you been?" was the first thing Jordan said when she walked into the house. He looked annoyed, but relieved. She wondered again why she had told him he could live with her. She rolled her eyes and pointed out the window. She then walked upstairs and into her room, Jordan following her. When she walked into her bathroom he looked around her room.

It was done in a array of pink and purples. She had a queen size canopy bed with silk see though curtain thingy's on each corner. They were pulled back so you could see the bed, but Kim liked to untie them and let them fall so it was like she was in a little room. Across form the bed was a cabinet that he knew held a big screen TV, a VCR/DVD, Sega Playstation. On either side of it were book case's with little nic naks, books, and pictures. Along the walls were more pictures of family, friends and fun times. Her desk was in a corner and was covered in little fashion sketches. She had her dresser next to the door to her bathroom, and her wardrobe was standing next to her closet door. An armchair was sitting next to her window and another book case, filled with her favorite books was next to the armchair.

He looked at Kim when she walked out her robe. It was untied so you could see the purple spaghetti strap tee and black woman boxers she had on underneath. It still surprised him how he hadn't seen how she'd grown up till the premiere. He smiled and motioned her to sit down. He had to talk about what Jason had told him earlier. He already had known about the rangering part, but he was concerned about this new adventure.

"Kim, Jason told me what was going on. I already knew you were a ranger. I know that since the pink ranger saved me from Rita when I came to visit you. Now I want your solemn promise that you will be careful and won't do anything stupid. Promise?" She looked at him and smiled. She hugged him hard.

"I promise. You have nothing to worry about. OK? I'll be careful." She pulled back and kissed him on the cheek. She stood up and pointed to the door.

"Now, get out. I need my sleep." Chuckling he walked out then turned around and smiled at Kim who was pulling the covers back. He walked out the door closing it softly behind him.

The next day.

"OK that's about it. I should have everything. Now I just have to wait for the Space Rangers." Kim stated as she zipped up her duffel bag. She had finally learned how to pack lightly, ever since she was put in the spotlight. She glanced at Jc, Jason and Jordan all who were staring at her worrying. She smiled. She checked her outfit, a pair of black low slung short-shorts and a form fitting purple tank top. A long sleeve flannel was tied around her waist and her hair was up in a ponytail. She snapped her head up as the unmistakable sound of teleporting reached her ears. When they materialized. Andros, Tj, Ashley and Cassie looked startled by the presence of Jordan and Jc. Kim quickly intervened.

"Don't worry, my brother Jordan already knew and I couldn't think of a good lie, so I told Josh the truth. Sorry." Andros shrugged. Cassie and Ashley stared at Jc, dumbstruck. Tj rolled his eyes and elbowed the girls. They came out of there trance and grinned sheepishly. Andros had picked up her duffel and was ready to go. She looked at Jordan and he pulled her into a huge hug. She hugged him back and gave him a reassuring smile. She turned to Jason. He smiled and pulled her to him, for a bone crushing hug.

"Uh, Jase? You might…not need…ai..air, but I do." He let go and gave her sheepish grin. She giggled. She sobered as she turned to Jc. He just looked at her. She took a deep breath and when her opened his arms she dove into them. She buried her head into his chest. He stroked her back and gave her a kiss on her head. She pulled back and gave him a wobbly smile. He let out a deep breath and leaned down to give her a kiss. They kissed for a couple minutes until Jordan cleared his throat. They broke apart and she gave a smirk at her brother who was shaking his head. he gave her a look that said 'when?'

"None of your damn business. I love all three of in different ways of course, and I promise I'll be careful. Now I'll show you one of the many tricks I have up my sleeve. And if you want to know how, Jason, ask Billy." With that she stepped back away from everyone. And took something from behind her back. It was her old morpher with a new Golden pink crane coin in the center. Before anyone could react she thrust it in f5ont of her and with pride yelled out.

"Pink Ranger Power!" with a burst of pink light she was morphed in her old pink Ningette armor. She stood there minute, while everyone stared at her in shock, especially Jordan, Jc, and Jason. She looked down at her gloves and armor then reached behind her and unclasped her helmet she took it off shaking her hair out. She tucked it in the crook of her arm and waited patiently for the exclamations, she didn't have to wait long.

"Kimberly Anne Hart! Why the hell didn't you tell me you could still morph?!" Jason yelled at her. Jordan and Jc were nodding but with identical you- better-tell-me-now-cause-your-not-leaving-till-you-do expressions. She laughed.

"The power of Ningette is rooted to the spirit. No matter what, you will never lose the power. Unfortunately, only the original Ningette can still do it. Kat can't, cuz she was only pink cause of the transfer, her animal spirit wasn't the crane. Billy explained this to me. Of course he used a hellova lot more words. " she giggled and Jason chuckled, knowing that when Billy was explaining things he sometimes didn't use lamen terms. She looked at the three men and said one thing,

"I promise I'll be careful and go ask Billy about this if you want. Lata!" she then took Cassie's hand and pressed the teleport button, the two disappearing in two streaks of pink. Andros, Tj, and Ashley looked at the three and shrugged. they said bye then stepped back and teleported away. Jc, Jordan and Jason looked at each other and Jason and Jc asked at the same time,

"Who wants a pizza?"
