"Tommy!" Kimberly cried running to her former boyfriend. She instinctively threw her arms around him, not stopping to consider that he had amnesia. He stumbled slightly from the embrace, looking down at the girl attached to him.
"Do I know you?" he asked innocently. Kimberly immediately let go and stood back, stunned by the comment. Kat winced, hoping Kim was okay. "Do you know me? My name? Could you tell me?" he went on. Kimberly just kept backing away, her eyes wide as if frightened.
Kat stepped forward after a moment. "Your name is Tommy Oliver. Do you remember what happened to you, or anything before?" she asked, slowly edging toward him. He shook his head, looking like a lost little boy. He didn't know whether to trust her or not, but something inside said that it was okay. "You have amnesia," she continued, "but don't worry. We know a way to help you. There's a special stone that has your whole memory in it, and Kim here is going to get it back for you."
"Huh?" the two new comers said in unison. Kat turned to Kimberly to explain, but the brunette was already asking questions.
"First of all, what stone? Second, I'm going to get it? How?" she asked exasperatedly.
Kat sighed. "Tommy's memories were stored in a stone when he first became a ranger. All of ours were, in separate stones. Once the stone is recovered, Alpha told me Tommy can never loose his memory again. We need you to go to the cave of Amneous, and go on a quest for the stone. You'll have to face three of your worst memories, plus your greatest fear in order to succeed." While Kim digested that, Kat turned to Tommy.
"I think I need to sit down." He said wavering slightly. T.J. moved to help him to a chair.
"So, three of my worst memories?" Kim said, pulling Kat's attention back to her. "Are you guys going to be seeing any of this if I agree to do it?" Kat was surprised she'd thought of that, it was a surprise when Andros told her that when she attempted the quest. She smiled and moved closer to the still stunned girl.
"We'll be there for you every step of the way." She said warmly.
"What happens if I refuse?" Kim asked boldly, ignoring Kat's kindness. She did not want to relive her past.
Kat looked down and moved in closer. "Tommy will die." She whispered. She heard Kim gasp as she drew back in fear. She stood for a moment, considering the situation. She looked over at Tommy, who was leaning on a console rubbing his head, and sighed walking over to her former flame. She knelt down in front of him and touched his hand.
"I'm going to get your memories back. And once you're back to your old self, I'll have a lot of explaining to do." she paused, seeing his perplexed look, and smiled. "You'll know what I mean later." She then stood and kissed him on the cheek and he also rose.
"Thank you. I-I don't remember you right now, but I like what I do know. I.I look forward to remembering you.and everyone else." He smiled hesitantly, as he hugged her.
Kim quickly pulled away, with tears threatening to fall. "I. I'd better go get ready. Um. T.J., can you show me a room I can freshen up in?" she asked, moving to the exit. As Kim left, Kat and the others began making plans for her quest.
*** "So, uh.what happened between you and Tommy, if you don't mind me asking. I heard you guys were pretty serious." T.J. asked hesitantly as Kim settled in. She glanced at him, and then gazed at the floor. "Sorry," T.J. said quickly, "it's none of my business."
"No, no," Kim sighed moving closer to him. "It's okay. I don't mind. I mean, you guys are just minding your own business, and then boom, you got three former rangers on your hands, one of whom has severe amnesia, and the other two who are frantic about him, and.Well, you deserve to know. We were serious. He was like." she sighed, shaking her head and laughing softly. "Tommy was pretty much the perfect boyfriend. He changed my life, made me see things I'd never seen before. One day in the park, we were walking by the lake, and he pulls me down and tells me to be quiet. I thought it was a joke, but he points to this fox. He said they never come out in our area, especially not in broad daylight. I wouldn't have even looked twice at it, and I asked him how he knew. He said he and his dad used to go on hikes when he was a kid, and his dad told him about all of that kind of stuff. I- I. I noticed every fox I saw from then on and thought of that moment every time. Stupid, huh?" she smiled.
T.J. shook his head. "Not at all." He smiled. "So what happened?" he asked hesitantly.
Kim's smile faded. "Well, I got a chance to train in Florida with a big gymnastics coach. I was so excited, but I didn't want to leave Tommy. He told me to go, saying I couldn't pass up the opportunity. So.I went. But, after I got there, everything went wrong." she trailed off sadly.
"Was it an injury?" T.J. asked, hating the feeling that he was pressuring her, but she went on.
She smiled sadly. "Something like that." She sighed. "Anyways, you'll see when I go on my quest. All will be revealed, as the psychics say." She said, fidgeting with her hands.
T.J. nodded. "I'll uh, I'll wait outside while you get ready. There are some standard ships uniforms in the closet. You can use whatever you want of them, tank tops, pants. Help yourself." He smiled, and she nodded in appreciation as he exited.
When he was gone, she moved to the mirror and looked at her reflection. "An injury.sure." She sighed. Shaking her head, she moved to the closet to get ready.
Outside, T.J. was pacing patiently, when his communicator went off. "Teej, get up here quick! Tommy's had a relapse!" Cassie cried frantically. T.J. bolted into Kim's room, hoping she wasn't changing. Luckily, she was brushing her hair.
"Kim, something's wrong with Tommy." He cried. She dropped the brush and both of them sprinted out of the room towards the bridge. As they entered, they found Tommy; unconscious again, slumped on the floor. Andros and Carlos were trying to get him up to no avail.
"Where are Cassie and Ashley?" T.J. asked rushing to help.
"Getting the infirmary ready." Andros grunted. With T.J.'s help, they finally got him to his feet and carried him to the infirmary, T.J. held his feet, while Andros and Carlos held his arms. Kim followed closely behind as the trio went as fast as they could. The infirmary door hissed open and the guys grunted from the weight of Tommy's unconscious form as they struggled to get him on the med bed. Ashley and Cassie rushed to help and Kim stood back, seeing that she'd be in the way if she tried to help. Besides, she felt too.frozen to help. She watched, breathing heavily, as the rangers hooked her former love up to the med unit.
"What happened? Where's Kat and Alpha?" she asked, afraid to step forward for fear she'd touch something the wrong way and hurt him.
"Tommy's mind decided to shut down. He's gone back into his subconscious." Andros explained, turning to the worried girl.
"Did something trigger it?" Ashley asked, looking down at the sleeping ranger.
"Maybe. We were explaining the quest Kim's gonna go on, but as soon as we mentioned you and him as a couple.he just collapsed." Andros sighed.
Kim's breath left her body. She paled and tried to find the wall for support, because she felt her legs buckling beneath her. "It's all my fault." She breathed. T.J. and Andros turned to her, frowning deeply at her reaction. "What do you mean?" T.J. asked, cautiously approaching the frantic girl, but she continued to back away, ashamed of herself.
"Don't you see!" she cried. "He's like this because of me! Because of that stupid letter I sent him. He would never have been up in space doing god knows what if it weren't for me! I never even got the chance to explain, and he may never know, and it's all my FAULT!!" tears were streaming down her face now. She dashed from the infirmary before anyone could stop her.
"Kim WAIT!" T.J. yelled after her, but she ran too fast, disappearing around a corner.
