Alright guys here's the next chapter. Your reviews were quite fun to read. Some of you are very devious, but don't worry I won't tell anybody. Besides one of you, actually a few of you gave me a really good idea. But, I won't say what it is now because who wants to read a story when they aready know what's going to happen? I guess all that's left to say now is read, enjoy, and please review.

The next morning Kimberly's alarm clock chimed at exactly 7:00 on the dot. At first she awoke in the most horrible mood. Sleep had felt so good. Who knew being evil could take so much out of a person? Then she realized that for the first time since she had moved back to Angel Grove she had actually gotten real, uninterrupted, restful sleep. With the exception of her dream and the unexpected visitor in the middle of the night, of course.

At first she couldn't remember which scenario had been real and which had been merely a dream. Had she actually had the pleasure of tasting Tommy's sweet lips again? Or had she had the disappointment of finding an empty porch?

The second choice sounded much more realistic and after some careful deductive reasoning she realized that Dr. Oliver had never set foot on her porch last night much less taken her breath away with a passionate kiss that out did all other kisses before it.

It had seemed so real though. Kimberly ran her fingers over her lips hoping to find some remnant or proof that it had actually happened. But, this was real life and in real life Tommy Oliver lived a perfect little happy life in Reefside with his perfect little students and his disgusting little girlfriend.

"Blah," she said out loud at the thought of the mysterious woman.

'Never mind that now Kimberly,' she thought to herself as she sat up in bed deciding what to do with her Sunday. She knew that Lord Zedd's orders were that she continue her life just the same as before, not doing anything different. But, the mere idea of doing her regular Sunday routine was unbearable. 'Would anyone really suspect something just because I didn't show up at the Youth Center this morning?' she thought.

Every Sunday since she moved back, she would get up at 7:00 a.m., jog the long route to the Youth Center, and then have breakfast at juice bar counter in the company of Bulk and Skull. And it wasn't that she minded Bulk and Skull's company, she just didn't feel like pretending to be a valley girl that never really grew up, all morning long.

Maybe she would just skip it. But wait, that was no good. She had unintentionally missed her training session with the girls at the Youth Center yesterday. She was a little preoccupied at the time. Surely her absence sent Skull into a terrible worry, especially after she insisted on walking home in the dark alone the night before. If she did not show up this morning he would probably assemble and head up a search party for her.

Dragging herself out of bed she walked over to her dresser drawer and fished out a few garments suitable for a five-mile jog. Then she changed her clothes, washed her face, brushed her teeth, and fixed her hair up into a knot on top of her head.

Kimberly then made her way downstairs noticing how comfortable her brand new Nikes were. Before heading out the door she went into the kitchen and gulped down a huge glass of water followed by a small glass of orange juice for a little boost. Then she opened all of the curtains downstairs to let in a little light. Finally, she grabbed her keys on her way out the door.

As she stepped out onto the porch she began to stretch and prepare herself for the run. She seriously could not see herself completing it because she was so tired. But, orders were orders, even if she hated them. She took off running a little burdened and very slow.

Back at the Angel Grove Hotel Tommy Oliver woke up from a stream of nightmares that were so terrible they made real life seem like a cakewalk. They were all of course about Kim and most of them were about her as the evil Pink Ranger.

One dream in particular stood out from the rest. As it started out he had found her at the Youth Center, sitting at the counter. When he approached her she was her old sweet self. She acted as nothing had ever come between them and invited Tommy to join her. As he sat down next to her he suddenly found himself in Lord Zedd's evil dimension, the same one he had rescued Kimberly from when Katherine stole her power coin. When he reached for her to offer his protection she was gone, and in her place was the evil Pink Ranger.

She challenged him to a duel but there was one slight problem, he was powerless. He called on his Dragon Zord powers, his Tiger Zord powers, the White Ranger powers, Zeo Ranger 5 powers, his Turbo powers, and finally his Dino Thunder powers. But no morphers appeared and he was left to battle the villainess in the state of a mere mortal.

The Pink Ranger seemed very proud of herself and very eager to watch him panic. She said something to him that really bothered him in his dream, and it still bothered him now that he was awake. She said in sweet little innocent voice, "Awe, what's the matter Tommy? Can't find your power coin? I have to say I know how that feels and I would help you find yours, but you never even tried to help me find mine!" her tone became very evil.

He was so confused, how could she even say that? She knew he had always done everything in his power to help her no matter what. But, apparently she did not see things that way.

"When I lost the pink power coin you did nothing to try to get it back," she continued, "Instead all you were concerned about was Katherine's safety when it was all her fault to begin with!" she erupted into rage.

"Kimberly, what are you talking about? You know Katherine was under Zedd and Rita's spell when she did all of those terrible things, and when she came over to our side she was in incredible danger. I had to pro-"

"Enough!" interrupted the evil girl. "Stop sticking up for her. She's not even here!"

Tommy cringed at the sound of her yell. "Kim, just calm down okay, I don't want to fight you," he said coolly.

"Don't want to fight me?" she sounded surprised. "How could you not want to fight me when it was you who created me!"

He couldn't understand what she meant by that and even though the dream eventually ended with him the loser and her the winner he couldn't have cared less about the outcome. He just wanted to know what it all meant. Mostly though, he wandered if it was his subconscious that conjured up this nightmare or was it perhaps some higher power?

Realizing that the day had to start some time Tommy pushed himself out of bed and went straight for the shower. Then after showering he did the rest of his grooming. Even though Kim might be evil he still wanted to look presentable for her. Soon he was out the door at exactly 8:00.

For as long as Tommy knew Kimberly she had always been an early bird. In high school he never understood how she did it when he just had a hard time remembering to set his alarm clock. So, now he figured that she had probably already been up for at least an hour.

But, maybe he was being rude showing up first thing in the morning. If she was not in fact under Zedd's evil spell then she would think he went insane. How would he explain himself to her? That's why he never rang the doorbell at her house last night. At the last minute he realized how bad it looked showing up at his high school sweet heart's house at 2:00 a.m. when he had not seen her in years. If she wasn't evil what could he say? Maybe something like "Oh gee I suspected you might be the evil Pink Ranger so I thought I'd stop by and check. And now that I'm here it's clear that you're not so I guess I'll be going." That some how did not sound right. Not to mention it would be involving Kimberly in this whole mess when she did nothing but mind her own business.

Then of course the second he left she would get on the phone and blab the entire thing to Jason, and before he knew it he'd have to worry about a macho man with no powers as well as cute girl with no special abilities, just a score to settle with Zedd and Rita. No thank you.

He seriously hadn't given any thought to what he was going to say to her if she was not evil. She would not let him leave without an explanation and somehow he didn't think she would believe that he just wanted to catch up with her for old time's sake. She knew she had hurt him and he knew that was why she never made any efforts to contact him after she sent the letter.

Deciding that because most of the evidence pointed to Kimberly as the guilty party he probably did not have to worry about an excuse. If anything he should probably morph before ringing the doorbell.

As Tommy once again got out of his jeep and walked up the path his stride grew very quick. He was ready to put this whole thing to rest even if it meant awaking another battle. Once on the porch he did not hesitate to ring the doorbell and it was not until he heard the chime inside the house that he took a deep breath to center himself.

He waited for what seemed like forever but no one came to the door and he heard no stir in the house. So, he rang again. Nothing. He was beginning to feel desperate so he rang again, and again, and then he knocked, and knocked, and knocked. Still nothing.

Stepping off the porch he turned right and peeked inside the bay window. The house was exactly how he pictured it would be. Everything was tidy, not a speck of dust in sight. The walls were covered in framed photographs and every available surface had miniature decorative figurines. There were also pink pillows on the couch and pink drapes on all of the windows. But no Kimberly.

Tommy finally came to terms with his bad timing and turned around to walk back to his jeep. He noticed that her car or what he assumed was her car was parked in the driveway. "I hope she's okay," he said to himself as he climbed back in the jeep.

I know, I know I was doing so well and now we're back to what I call 'inbetween chapters.' But never fear 'cause the next chapter is going to be good! Yup, you guessed it Tommy and Kimberly will finally come face to face. And I promise no dreams, no fantasies, just plain old reality. The bad news is that I don't know when exactly I'll have time to write it. So I guess just keep checking back. And as always thank you all for reading, you're Aces. Oh yeah, and don't forget to review 'cause if you have any ideas of how Tommy and Kim's meeting should go let me know.
