This chapter tells a little more about Kimmy and her twin and their origins.
Disclaimer: (do you believe I forgot a disclaimer? BAD ME!) Don't own Dino Thunder. Also don't own anything power rangers, unless you count a few episodes, the first movie, and a few pictures. All belongs to… whoever it belongs to these days. Can't keep track.
Dino Thunder Meets Dr. O's Past
Chapter 3
Origin of Kimmy and the Little Rangers
"Okay, Kimmy, we need some explanation here. Who are you? Where did you come from?" Connor said, finally tired of Kimmy's almost all knowing attitude. He'd dealt with it until Tommy had asked him and the other Dino rangers to show Kimmy around. Kira and Ethan had come up with somewhat passable excuses to get out of it.
"I'm Kimberly Le Ann Oliver. My parents are Kimberly Hart and Tommy Oliver. My twin brother is Timothy Davis Oliver. We're what's known to most as Little Rangers. For each and every Power Ranger couple that's ever existed, there is a Little Ranger. We seem to just appear out of thin air, if you'll believe that." Kimmy replied, sensing the hostility. New rangers never got along with her real well in the beginning. "And I act like I know everything about you because I do. Dad and Haley have been keeping me up to date since your team started."
"And Dr. O knows-"
"That I'm his daughter? Yes. We told him about halfway through what the Little Rangers have taken to calling the Great Emptiness, the years Dad and Mom were apart." She sighed. " We've kept track of every ranger team since our birth. All of them. It's not easy, even when your team consists of 23 people aged 18 to 2."
"That was a sudden change of subject." Connor said, accusingly.
"No Little Ranger likes to talk about the Great Emptiness. There was a great empty hole in our collective heart when they split. It's like the Power. No Little Ranger can get away from the emptiness when two rangers break up. Specifically two rangers as close as Mom and Dad." Kimmy blinked away the few tears that were beginning to form. "That's why we are so avid to get them back together. But with Timmy and I's parents, we couldn't risk pulling them together only to have them hate each other later. This was the best time for both of them."
Connor had stopped listening back at 'When two rangers break up.' His mind wandered to the little two year old ranger Kirana. Him and Kira? Not that she wasn't attractive, there were days he'd stumble over whatever he'd been saying because she'd walked up and was standing next to him. But could a one sided half-crush really result in one of these Little Rangers? Maybe he should ask.
Or maybe he should just keep his mouth shut.
Kimmy's eyes were watching him, as if trying to read his mind. If he'd found her unsettling before, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why, this was twice as bad.
That's it! He thought suddenly. She's so unsettling because of her eyes. They're bright purple.
Kimmy grinned abruptly. "They're contacts. Purple contacts are easier to explain than totally black pupils and irises." She said, unable to stop her silent laughter at the Red Rangers sudden reaction to her eyes. "And no, one sided half-crush won't result in a Little Ranger."
