Author's note: Ok this has been getting on my nerves. The 'gang' is not the power rangers anymore. Zedd and Rita took some time off and no other villains wanted to fill their shoes against the POWER RANGERS!!!! So yeah….

Disclaimer: You know the deal. I don't own 'em Saban does.

Kim poured the whiskey down the sink. She walked over to her queen size bed in the corner and laid down on it, rubbing the pink satin comforter. Her big Great Dane, Thor, jumped up on the bed beside her. Kim laid her head on Thor's body.

"You'll always stay with me. Won't you Thor?"

Thor replied by a soft 'woof'. Kim grabbed her stereo remote from her nightstand and turned on her stereo then switched to CD player.

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real


There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling, I can't seem

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
That it's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Kim sang along between sobs. "C-c-crawling… s-skin…" Her mind with through a flipbook of Chris and Tommy. She closed her eyes and fell a sleep. She didn't hear the knocks on her door.


Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Discomfort, endlessly has pulled itself upon me
Distracting, reacting
Against my will I stand beside my own reflection
It's haunting how I can't seem...

To find myself again
My walls are closing in
(Without a sense of confidence and I'm convinced
That it's just too much pressure to take)
I've felt this way before
So insecure

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real

Crawling in my skin
These wounds they will not heal
Fear is how I fall
Confusing, confusing what is real

There's something inside me that pulls beneath the surface
Consuming, confusing what is real
This lack of self control I fear is never ending
Controlling, confusing what is real

"Kim?" Tommy said as he walked into Kim's unlocked studio. He got her address from the phone book. Tommy looked around the big studio. He walked to the balance beam in the middle of studio. He smiled and ran his hand along it.

Still doing the gymnastics

He turned around and saw a Great Dane growling at him, barring it's sharp teeth.

"Whoa boy… uh… girl." Tommy smoothly. "Kim?"

He saw Kim on her bed sleeping.

"Kim?!"

Kim shot up. "I'm not sleeping! I was resting my eyes!" She looked around her and realize she was in her own place, in Angel Grove. AWAY from Chris. She breathed a sigh of relief. She yelped in shocked when she saw Tommy. Thor growled more.

"Down Thor…" Kim said, "Come here baby."

Thor backed-up towards Kim, then slowly turned around and jumped on the bed beside her. Thor continued to growl deep in her throat.

"Hush Thor." Kim looked at Tommy, "What brings you to my humble home?"

"Well…" Tommy said, still looking at the growling dog, "I wanted to see if you were ok. I mean you left the park pretty quick."

"Like I said earlier, I had to unpack and get settled in." Kim saw Tommy looking at Thor, "It's ok, Tommy. He's not going to bite you. He's my baby." She said, petting him, "He helped me through a lot of stuff."

Tommy walked over to Kim and sat on the other side of her. He held his hand out for Thor to sniff. After Thor finish sniffing his hand, he licked it. Tommy laughed and looked at Kim.

"I'm not going to ask you about your past with Kat, because it's none of my business, but I would like to know if you two are seeing each other." Kim said looking Tommy straight in the eye.

"Me and Kat are not seeing each other. After I got your letter she tried to love me and she did love me, but I didn't love her. We went on two dates, but I was so distant that she ended them early. Kim, I've never been able to see anyone else. I still loved… love you. It felt like I was cheating on you when I even looked at another girl. Beautiful, I still love you and I know you don't love me." Tommy said gently.

Kim's hair fell in her eyes, and Tommy pushed it back behind her ear. Just then the phone rang. Kim leaned over and picked it up.

"Kimberly here talk to me." She said, smiling.

*Did you hear I was coming down? Is that why you're so happy?* said Chris, happily.

Kim's smile instantly fell. "Wh-what do you mean you're coming down?"

*I mean exactly what I said! I'm coming to California to visit my baby girl. Why are you so surprised? *

" I didn't know you had the money to fly all the way to Angel Grove. I mean, what did you sell?'

*I sold our house. I'm moving down there! Isn't that wonderful?*

Tommy saw the horrid look on Kim's face. "What?" he whispered.

Kim just continued to look down, and she put her finger to her soft lips.

"It's wonderful. I mean I get to see the love of my life everyday! It's wonderful. I love you, Chris."

*I love you too, Baby girl. Now I gotta go finish packing, but I'll be there tomorrow at 8:00 pm. Buh-bye for now, honey.*

"Bye sweets." Kim hung up, smiling. "I just realize something, Tommy."

"What's that, Kim?"

"I love two men. You and Chris. But you're my old love and Chris is my new love." Kim now had the same idea in her small, fragile head, that she had when she met Chris, Love can conquer all.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

After he left in shock, from what Kim had said, he went back to the Youth Center. There he met up with Tanya, Kat, Adam, and Rocky.

"Hey Tommy." Kat said as she ran up to him, throwing her arms around him.

"Hey Kat? Not now please… Not now." Tommy said pulling her off him. He had this sad look in eyes that really hasn't been there since Kim wrote him that letter.

"What?! Is that little bitch making you feel all shitty again?! Why do you put up with that?!" Kat screamed in his face. Tommy got this pissed off look on his usual calm face.

"Don't you talk about her like that! She means more to me that you ever did! Get over it, Kat! You're not going to win me! My heart belongs to Kim!!!!!!" Tommy's face went immediately soft and he fell into the chair beside. He put his face in his face.

"I'm sorry, Kat. I just heard some very bad news and it's hurting me. I didn't mean to say that."

Everyone gathered around Tommy and listen to him tell the story about Kim and Chris. Rocky was clenching his fists so hard they were turning white. Kat just sat down and held her face in her hands. Tanya's eyes widen when she heard the gory details. Adam's eyes filled with tears. Tommy was looking at his hands the entire time he was telling the story. "I don't know if she wanted me to tell you or if she wanted you to know at all, but Chris is coming to town to live here. I don't know if I can keep myself from killing him. She tells me she loves him, but she can't. I mean he hit her!"

Tanya looked at Tommy, "Tommy, from the stories you guys have told me, Kim is a strong woman, inside and out. I'm sure she can take care of herself."

Rocky also said, "Tanya's right. She is strong and she can take care of herself. But I also knew something was wrong when I touched her back and screamed. I should have guessed sooner."

Adam sat there in his chair and cried. Tanya wrapped her arms around him and held him. Kat looked at Tommy.

"So when she said she's gone through more shit than I could veer know she was right. I feel so bad now."

"It's ok, Kat. You didn't know." Tommy said, "But I wish I had known sooner. Maybe I could have helped her."

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

Next day

Kim stood at the airport entrance waiting for Chris to come. When she saw him, she got a scared look on her face, but then she remembered she loved him and he loved her. She smiled and ran to him, jumping in his arms.

"Oh my god! I missed you sooo much!" she said happily.

"I missed you too baby. Now help me with my bags. You get the red and white ones and I'll get the rest."

Kim picked up the white and red ones and he grabbed the rest of them. She lead him to her SUV and put his bags in the backseat. She got in the passenger seat and Chris drove them to her rented apartment. She couldn't take him to her studio because her balance beam was there and he didn't want her to have anything to do w/ gymnastics.
