Disclaimer: the truth is out! I don't own the power rangers!
NNNNNOOOOOOOOO!!!!
Authors note: I hate school. I'm so sorry, I promised this would be here sooner, but dumb old school got in my way.
Kim pulled her hand back, startled by the sudden command. "Who's there!" she demanded.
"It is me Kimberly Hart, do you not recognize my voice?" the voice replied. Kim recognized it suddenly, from the cave and the first three memories.
"You! But, I though you said you couldn't talk to me anymore." She said confused.
"I could not talk to you for that section of the quest. You had to do that on your own. Now, do not touch the stone. If you do, Tommy's memory will go into you." The voice said.
"Then how do I get it out of here?" she asked.
"There is a pouch hanging beneath the stone, put it over it and close it carefully." Kim nodded and moved to the stand, and just as the voice said, there was a black drawstring pouch hanging from a hook beneath it. She sighed, smiling as she looked at the pouch in her hand, then headed for the now open door on the other side of the room. Funny, she never noticed it opening. Light poured in from the other side, lush trees lay beyond the exit and she could hear birds singing. She stopped and turned around as the door behind her closed.
"Oh no! My stuff!" she cried, running to it. It closed before she reached it, and she was left to bang on the stonewall. She sighed and gave up, turning back to the sunny door. "Oh well, nothing irreplaceable." She said walking into the sunlight. "Thank you for all your help," she said looking up. "whoever you are." She watched the door close, and then was teleported out.
"Anytime Beautiful." whispered a voice.
*** "Great job Kim!" Andros smiled, patting her on the back, as she materialized on the bridge.
"Yeah, excellent." Ashley smiled.
"You were amazing!" T.J. grinned.
"Wow." was all Cassie could say.
"That. Was.Incredible." Zhane said shaking his head.
Kim smiled slightly and looked at Kat, who was trying to find the words to express how she felt. "Kim, I had no idea.I'm so sorry." Was all she could find. "What happened to 'him?'" she asked hesitantly.
"I'll explain later, right now, we have to get the stone to Tommy." She sighed moving to the bridge doors.
She broke into a run and the rangers followed suit, barreling down the hallway to the infirmary. *Hang on Tommy.* Kim said inwardly. Once they reached the infirmary, the doors hissed open, revealing a sleeping Tommy attached to various machines. They all gathered around him and Kim pulled the pouch open. She reached down, and gently opened Tommy's palm enough for the stone to fit. She'd forgotten how soft his hands were, how good they felt. She exhaled, and tipped the pouch, and the emerald stone fell into his waiting palm. Once there, his body reacted by instinctively gripping it. It began to glow after a few moments, filing through his closed fingers in strips of eerie light. When it faded.nothing happened. Tommy lay, still sleeping, and gripping the now black drained stone.
Tommy, could suddenly think again. He felt a rush of energy through his body, and an overwhelming and familiar sensation came flooding back. *My memory!* he cried inwardly.
Memories of childhood, his first day of school, karate class, friends, graduations, old crushes, horrible memories that were buried but never forgotten. A million old emotions surged through him as the past again flowed through him, and he re-experienced his entire life in a flash. N\But time seemed to slow down, when his memories of Kim hit. Their first kiss, he felt the joyous sensations, their first date and the hesitations, the innocence, and then.the letter. That hurt, that pain, was back, and then gone in a heart beat. Suddenly, he was conscious.
"Did it work?" he heard Ashley say hesitantly.
"I don't know." Said. Kat?
Then, there was a voice. The one voice he'd longed to hear, whispered in his ear, her breath sending chills down his spine. "Please don't leave me. I need you.so much. Don't you dare leave me Thomas Oliver." Then.a sigh. "Open your eyes, you faker."
He smiled, and his lids fluttered open. "Kim." He breathed. The rangers sighed in relief, and watched the reunion unfold.
"Don't you ever scare me like that again." She smiled, tears welling up in her eyes. She had begun to think that what she had done was for nothing when he didn't wake up at first. She was so relieved to see his smiling face, and not the vacant stare she'd seen before on the bridge. She stroked his hair as he sighed, closing his eyes for a moment.
"Tommy," Andros said, hesitantly interrupting their 'moment.' "do you remember what happened?"
Tommy tried to lift his head, but a wave of dizziness flushed over him, and her groaned putting his head back down. "It's still a little fuzzy, but it's coming back.slowly." He attempted to sit up again, but Kim pushed his back down.
"Whoa Handsome. You've been through a lot, so don't try to show how tough you are by making it worse. Stay down." Kim said, putting her hand on his chest.
"Always taking care of me, huh Beautiful." He smiled. *She called me Handsome!*
*I love it when he calls me Beautiful.* Kim smiled to herself.
*Now I know they're meant to be together/* Kat thought as she saw the way the two looked at each other. The others smiled as well, knowing that they were perfect for each other.
*They look good together.* T.J. observed.
*I hope this thing with the three of them is resolved soon.* Cassie frowned.
*Ah, young love. No, eternal love.* Carlos smiled reflectively.
*They look happy. I hope Kat's okay with this. She looks a bit uneasy. I'll talk to her later, see how she's doing. Maybe even get to know her better.* Zhane thought as he looked over at the blonde.
*I hope me and Andros have a love like that one day. So pure, gentle.kind. It's like none I've ever seen. It's forever.* Ashley thought, looking over at Andros. She put her hand over his, and he grasped it firmly, returning her soft smile.
*I'll give you a love like theirs Ashley. Always. Never ending love, but it's not time for that yet. Not until I figure out how you feel. Then I'll reveal my true feelings for you.* He sighed inwardly.
"Tommy.when you get a bit better, there's something I need you to see." Kim sighed, taking a seat beside him.
"What is it Beautiful?" He turned his head to her, frowning from the pained expression on her face.
".My quest." She said quietly.
"Quest?" "I had to go on a memory quest for your memory stone, and I had to face three of my worst memories.and something else, to get it, and since the rangers were in visual contact, the quest was recorded.So, since I can't bear to go through it again, I'm asking you to watch it.It'll explain a lot." She said in a hurry, as she fixed her eyes on the ground.
"Hey," he said softly, touching her cheek to return her gaze to him. "Of course I will watch it." He smiled, absently rubbing his thumb across her cheek. "Oh, I've been wondering.what's Kat doing here?" he asked quietly, glancing over at the now chatting rangers.
Kim looked over at her, as the Australian met her gaze. Kim gestured for her to come over and rose from her seat smiling gently. "Go on, answer his questions." She said. "I'll see you later, I'm going to take a shower and get freshened up." She said looking at Tommy. He nodded and watched her go with a smile, before turning his attention to his friend.
