Chapter 9: Tommy's Memories
Tommy was up late working in the lab trying to work on the Green Ranger identity. Kimberly came downstairs wearing her pink slippers and pink robe. She walked over and placed a hand on her husband's shoulders. "Tommy," she murmured. Tommy looked up from the computer and looked at her. "Tommy, it's late, come to bed," she insisted.
"I can't, I can't get this Green Ranger off my mind," he stated.
"You haven't slept in three days. You're going to get sick."
"I'm fine, Kimberly."
Kimberly spun Tommy's chair around and looked at him. "Tommy Oliver, you're coming upstairs to get a goodnight's sleep. You deserve it. We can work more on the Green Ranger tomorrow," she urged. She grabbed his hand and dragged him upstairs.
However, that night, Tommy was tossing and turning in his sleep.
(Tommy's Dream)
Putties came at Tommy and he fought them off and he watched as they disappeared once he defeated them. "Man, why me?" He asked. He went to pick his duffle bag up when a blast of wind came this way. "What's going on?" He asked.
"TOMMY! I HAVE CHOSEN YOU!" Rita Repulsa yelled.
"NO!" Tommy yelled.
He was then taken to Rita's palace.
Once he got his powers, he sat there with a straight face. "How can I serve my empress?" He asked.
After wrecking the Command Center and sending Zordon away, Kimberly then came up to him. "Tommy, Tommy?" She asked. He just gave her a single glance before continuing to grab his stuff. "So, what happened to you the other day after school I thought we were going to meet?" She asked.
"Something came up," he replied.
"Oh, well, you know I just got kind of worried," she stated.
"Hey, I'm a big boy, Kimberly, I don't need you to worry about me."
"Is everything okay, because you're totally acting like..."
"Like what?"
"Like your upset with me."
Tommy then stood a few inches in front of her. "Would it occur to you that I have better things to do. Newsflash, Kimberly, you are not the center of everyone's universe," he snapped.
"Well, excuse me for living," she snapped back.
She walked away confused.
Tommy and Jason were circling each other in the Dark Dimension. "You where a Green Ranger costume, but you're loyalty's with Rita," Jason stated.
"I am her Green Ranger and she is my queen," Tommy informed.
"She's evil," Jason snapped.
"Yeah, and so am I."
Then they started fighting each other until Jason escaped the Dark Dimension.
After a few days, Kimberly came to him again. "Tommy, Tommy, I know. I know you're the Green Ranger," she whispered. He slammed the weights down and glared at her.
"Well then, Pink Ranger, you should also know that you and the other Power Rangers will soon be destroyed," he snapped.
"Let us help you, we can break Rita's spell," she assured.
"Rita is my empress, she will soon rule the world."
Kimberly then grabbed onto his arm. "Tommy, please let us help you," she insisted. He yanked his arm away.
"You have been warned," he snapped.
He then walked away.
Tommy landed on the ground when Jason knocked his weapons from his hands. "You destroyed the Power Sword, Rita's spell is broken," Zack announced.
"Are you okay, Tommy?" Jason asked.
"What's happened to me?" Tommy asked.
"You're no longer under Rita's power."
"My head is spinning. What have I done?"
"What you did you were under Rita's influence. Fight by our side and we can defeat Rita."
"After everything that has happened?"
"Tommy we need you. It's where you belong."
Tommy looked over at Billy and Kimberly to see them smile and nodded in agreement. "Will you join us, Tommy?" Jason asked. He held his hand out to Tommy. Tommy looked at his hand and nodded while shaking Jason's hand. "IT'S MORPHIN TIME!" Jason yelled.
"DRAGONZORD!"
"MASTODON!"
"PTERODACTYL!"
"TRICERATOPS!"
"SABER-TOOTH TIGER!"
"TYRANNOSAURS!"
(End Dream)
Tommy felt a hand on his face and opened his eyes to see Kimberly staring at him. "Are you okay?" She asked. He sat up with a sigh.
"Kimberly, I think Brandon is the Green Ranger," he replied.
"How do you know?" She asked.
"Yesterday, Brandon was acting cruel to Ann. Then when Ann asked him if he'd like to hang out with her and the rest of the group after school and you wouldn't believe of what he said to her."
"What did he say to her?"
"Brandon said "Newsflash, Ann, you're not the center of everyone's universe." That's How I figured that it was him."
Kimberly held onto his hand. "Does Ann know about your past yet?" She asked.
"No, I haven't told her yet," he replied.
He lowered his head, but Kimberly raised Tommy's head and looked into his eyes. "Tommy, she needs to know," she stated. He nodded and sighed.
"I'm just afraid she'll never trust me," he mumbled.
She placed her head on his chest listening to his steady heartbeat. "I trusted you after the spell was broken," she assured. He stroked her hair and they fell into a deep sleep.
