It was six o'clock now and Kim sat on the window sill watching the sun set. She had come out of the washroom a while ago and Adam had found her reading a book of sonnets. The events around the kiss were not mentioned and their lock in continued as it had, friendly. About an hour ago they had seen Tommy and Aisha walking towards the Youth Center with tennis rackets. Even banging on the windows though they couldn't get their attention. Adam had gone off to get a drink from the water fountain and use the washroom. So Kim was left to stare out the window as the sun dyed the sky pinks and oranges and reds.
Adam stood a good distance behind Kim watching her silhouette.
~She's so beautiful.~ He sighed to himself.
He walked up behind her without a sound and covered her eyes.
"Guess who." Kim giggled and pulled his hands down as she turned her body slightly.
"Gee I wonder. There IS only the two of us locked in here." He sat beside her on the window and laughed too.
"Ok, you caught me," he smiled. "So what are you up to?"
"Just watching the sun set. It's so pretty." She sighed dreamily.
"And no two are ever the same," Adam added. He took a deep breath, this was the defining moment to him.
"You know, you're a lot prettier than any sun set Angel." Kim's attention automatically turned from the outside to his eyes but he didn't give the chance to reply.
"I know you have a boyfriend Kim and I don't want to complicate things but...I-I can't help but love you." Adam turned away and stood up, as he was about to walk away he added, "I don't know if you feel the same, after earlier that is, but since we're here alone I thought you should know."
Kim stared numbly at the spot where Adam was just sitting. With out even looking away her hand shot out and caught his arm before he could leave. His head turned quickly to see when she said but there was a awkward silence as the sun got lower and lower in the sky.
After a while Adam started to worry. He sat back down and stared into her sparkling doe eyes but it was as if she were looking right through him. He waved a hand in front of her face.
"Kim? Come on Kim you're worrying me." There was no response. "Say something Angel." He tried as a last resort. Still nothing in reply. She didn't speak, she didn't move, she didn't even blink. Adam took a chance and gently picked her up. His arms were under her knees and her upper back. Her eyes closed tightly and then her whole body went limp.
~She fainted..~ He deduced as he carried her to their pillowed area.
~*~
"..And they were shouting from inside as we walked by." Everyone laughed as Aisha told how she and Tommy had seen their friends when passing by the library.
"Oh man, they're going to kill us!" Rocky grinned. Before more could be said a six tone sound interrupted them. The four teens groaned and slipped off to a more secluded area in the Youth Center.
"We read you Zordon." Tommy spoke into his communicator.
"RANGERS, THERE ARE TENGAS IN THE PARK. DESPITE YOUR PLANS YOU WILL HAVE TO RETRIEVE KIMBERLY AND ADAM." They sighed.
"Ok, we're on it." In four streaks of light they were on their way to the library.
~*~
Billy, Tommy, Aisha, and Rocky appeared right by where Adam was holding a cool, moist paper towel to Kim's forehead.
"There you guys are! We've been looking everywhere!" Aisha exaggerated.
"There's trouble in the park and-" Tommy started and then noticed that Kim wasn't moving.
"What's wrong with her?" Billy asked as he kneeled next to Adam who looked very distraught and a little paler than usual.
"She fainted...and her temperature went up." He stated simply.
"And there's still tengas in the park, what should we do?" Rocky wondered out loud.
"Rocky's right though, the tengas are still there and we have to deal with them." Tommy stated in a leader tone.
"Don't you even care about her?" Adam spat and stood up to face him.
"Of coure I care! Don't ever accuse me of not but that doesn't change the fact that we can't do much more right now except fight Rita and Zedd!" He shot back. Aisha stepped between the two.
"Boys, just chill out! We're going to go stop the tengas and then we're going to help Kim, got it?" The two relaxed and nodded.
"Now shake hands," Billy added. The Black and White Rangers did so and then smiled at each other.
"Sorry, I didn't mean it really." Adam apologized sheepishly. Tommy smiled and nodded.
"It's ok, I understand. I'm sorry too."
"Let's go then guys!" Rocky shouted and teleported out, the others followed closely behind. Adam first teleported with Billy to the locked study room and gathered his and Kim's things. Placing hers next to her, he and Billy teleported out.
~*~
Kim awoke to the sound of familiar voices.
"Don't you ever care about her?" Adam's voice practically dripped with venom. Luckily she heard Aisha referee the two and them make up. Unfortunatly she couldn't find the strength to speak or even open her eyes to let them know she was ok. She felt the light of their teleportation and heard something being placed near her a few moments after. Tengas... in the park.. her mind finally processed what they had been talking about. She'd deal with the reason she'd fainted later, right now her friends probably needed help.
Groaning, Kim sat up and felt a something wet fall into her lap. She labored and opened her eyes to see it was a wet paper towel. Looking around she noticed that her bookbag was now sitting next to her. She grabbed her communicator and morpher and stood up.
"Pink Crane Ninjetti!" She called knowing that, thankfully, there were no security cameras around to see. She teleported out despite a throbbing headache.
~*~
"I could use some assistance here!" Billy called out as he kicked a Tenga in the gut and was hit in the back by another.
"Couldn't we all!?" Rocky replied as he too was swarmed with warriors. They were all completely surrounded and separated.
Kim arrived a little distance from the fight and watched as they were all getting beaten. She ran towards them so fast she was practically invisible and knocked every Tenga down. A few disappeared and the rest got back up to fight again but this gave the others enough time to regroup. Kim stopped behind them and took a deep breath.
"You're awake!" Adam and Tommy called. Aisha laughed at the two and hugged her pink companion before returning to beating the monsterous birds. As the amount of Tengas decrease, Scorpina arrived and began to fight with Tommy. Their swords clashed and added to the hideous screeching of dying birds.
Scorpina slashed Tommy's chest causing him to fly back and land with a painful 'thud.' The others finished with the warriors and gathered behind him to help him up and fight. Kim and Aisha ran out to both sides of her and prepared to fire their blade blasters. Just as she was about to pull the trigger, a Tenga they'd missed came up behind Kim and hit her roughly on the head. She crumbled to the ground out cold. The Rangers watched in horror as their teammate fell and the bird disappeared. Scorpina looked at Tommy with an evil gleam in her eyes.
He suddenly realized what she was planning and began running towards Kim just as she did. Aisha still had aim to hit her but couldn't risk missing and hitting Kim. They could only watch the race to save their friend.
