Tommy ran along the beach, having no luck in trying to clear his head. His mind was caught up in the past, mostly thoughts about Kimberly. He wondered if she kept in touch with anyone. He had red that she had won gold at the Pan Globals. He had been busy with his racing and didn't get a chance to watch her.

He felt bad, having practically shoving her on the plane to Florida, and to have not even watched her in her moment of glory. Looking back on his life, he wondered if it was the right decision to send her to Florida. Maybe he should have asked her to stay. The team was never the same after she left. He was never the same.

Things between him and Kat were complicated. Their relationship was no where near as serious as his and Kimberly's. He was with Kat more out of companionship then romance. She had tried to replace Kim after her departure, and at times he resented her for it.

Kat couldn't replace Kim, the team knew it, he knew it, he only wished Kat had known it. Kim was special, irreplaceable, she had manage to maker her way into his heart, and she was never leaving,

He was mentally screaming to himself, why can't I get you out of my head? Am I meant to spend the rest of my life thinking about you? Agonizing over the fact that your not mine? He knew he loved her, he knew from the first moment he laid eyes on her. He also knew, however, that he couldn't be with her, and that was killing him.

He knew he was partly to blame for their breakup, he had barely kept in touch with her while she was in Florida. He didn't have the time to sit down and write to her, and truth be told, he had forgotten most of the time to return her calls. She had said that she found his forgetfulness cute, I guess she stopped finding it cute, he thought to himself.

He looked down at his watch, only an hour till he had to be back at his place to train with the team. He had sort of wished he had cancelled practice, he was too distracted, and his heart just wasn't in to it. He turned around, and started running back to his car, determined to get Kim out of his mind.

Kim walked along the beach searching for a perfect spot to work on her gymnastics, and try and clear her head, she would usually do one of the kata moves Tommy had taught her, but right now she wanted to avoid the subject of Tommy all together, although she was having no luck.

She looked out onto the water and saw a group of kids playing around in the water. She smiled to herself. She remembered the days when the whole gang would go to the beach. They'd spend the whole day there. It would usually get interrupted by Goldar or some monster, but after they finished their ranger business, they would go back to having fun, back to being teens.

There are days where Kim wished she had never heard of Coach Schmidt, he had taken her away from her friends, they were her family, and he had taken her away from Tommy, her rock, her life, her heart.

To her the gold medal at the Pan Global games weren't worth it. She'd give it up in a heart beat to be able to go back in time, and decide to stay with the team, and not give her power coin to Kat.

How ever, there wasn't anything she could do. She had to live with the fact that she was all alone. Her friends had cut her off, Tommy abandoned her, her only family left was her mother, who was all the way in Paris.

She wished that her friends hadn't gotten out of contact, she should have tried harder, but there comes at point where you have to give up and let go. Giving up isn't easy, Kim knew this, you first have to be strong enough to let go, and she had.

When no one answered her calls after her father died, she knew that there was nothing left. So she let go. She moved on with her life, with no effort to contact anyone, as they had made no effort to contact her. She wished them well in their life, but that was all.

Kim walked up to a spot that she thought would be perfect for her work out. It was under a tree, and had a perfect view of the water. In ways it reminded her of the spot by the lake where Tommy had first asked her out. She was so happy that day. Why is it I can never be happy? Was it something I did? She thought to her self, as she sat down and began to stretch.

She had accomplished great things in her life, she was a power ranger, she won gold at the Pan Globals, offered to go to the Olympics, got her Masters in History. But what is great accomplishments if you don't have someone to share them with?

She had been alone when she was at the Pan Globals, not one of her friends where there, and she never got one letter or phone call saying congratulations. That had hurt her to the core, to know that after being practically forced on the plane to Florida, that no one was there at the end. She had no one to celebrate with, and she had no one to go home to.

When she had sent that letter to Tommy, it had broken her heart. The whole thing had been a lie, there was no other guy. She had called him 3 days later, to apologize for the letter, saying she was sacred and stupid for sending it, and she didn't want to break up with him.

When Tommy's dad had answered the phone and said Tommy was on a skiing trip with Kat, she didn't know what to say or do. He hadn't even waited a week before moving on with Kat. She knew then that he had never loved her as much as she loved him.

She began to work on an old gymnastics routines, starting off with the basics, foot work, handsprings, etc. She was intent on forgetting her past.

Kira, Conner and Ethan walked along the beach, trying to kill some time before they had to be at Dr. O's. Ethan had been in and out of the library before they could count to 10.

As they walked along, Kira spotted Kim working in a gymnastics routine, "Hey guys, isn't that Ms. Hart?" She pointed over to where Kim was practicing.

Conner looked up, "Oh ya, oh wow, she's awesome."

The three nodded, and watched her for a moment, before disturbing her.

"Wow Ms. Hart, your awesome, where did you learn to do all that?" Ethan asked.

Kim smiled, slightly shocked to see her students, "Oh, thank you Ethan, actually, I've been doing gymnastics since I was little, a while back I got offered to train for the Pan Globals."

Conner smiled, "That's awesome, did you win?"

Kim gave him a small smile, "Ya I won the gold."

Kira laughed, "Congrats, that is totally awesome, your friends and family must be so proud of you."

Kim frowned, if they only were, she thought, "Ya I guess."

Just then a group of Tyranodrons dropped down ion them. Kim shook her head, Never fails, am I doomed to live in a town infested with monsters. Refusing to run, she stood her ground, her old ranger instincts coming back into play.

The three students looked at Kim in awe, she wasn't running away scarred like most people would, she was standing her ground getting ready to fight. They didn't have much time to absorb there shock when they heard Kim say.

"Alright uglies, are you just gonna stand there all day, cuz I gotta tell you, I definitely have better things to do."

Just then they started to attack, each getting three drons a piece. Conner looked over his shoulder, they were definitely going to need back up. "Dr. O" he said into his communicator, "where on the beach with the drons, and we could definitely use some help."

Conner couldn't wait for a response as the drons continued there attack.

Tommy had heard Conner and started to sprint along the beach, hoping they weren't too far down. He saw them in the distance, but he stopped, there was four of them, another girl. He couldn't see her face. As he drew nearer, he froze, it couldn't be. Then he heard her voice.

"Man different creature, same thing, will these things ever learn. Definitely makes you miss puddies."

Kim? It couldn't be, then he saw her, it was her Kim. He couldn't move, he couldn't speak, all he could do was stare. Kira brought him out of his trance.

"Hey Dr. O, we could sure use some help."

Tommy nodded, and tried to position himself between Kira and Kim, hoping to draw at least one drone from each of them.

As soon as she heard his first "Hi-yah" Kim froze, it can't be. She looked over her shoulder and saw him. She almost didn't recognize him, his hair was a whole lot shorter from when she last saw him.

A drone sent her flying, which brought her out of her shock. "Are you ok Kim?" she heard him say. She nodded and got up.

"How come whenever we are in the same town, I get attacked?"

He gave her a small laugh, "Old habits die hard."

She couldn't help but laugh, ain't that the truth. She continued fighting, she was starting to get sore, she didn't have her ranger strength to help her, and she knew she wasn't going to be able to last much longer.

And she was right. One drone sent her flying into a tree with a thud. "KIM!" Tommy screamed as he raced towards her. The other three teammates looked at them in shock, all having the same thought, "They know each other, and how come he is letting her fight?" As quickly as they appeared, the drones disappeared. And the team went running over to Tommy, who ad collected Kim in his arms.

"Come on beautiful, time to wake up."

Kim's eyes slowly opened, "Is that really you?"

Tommy smiled, "In the flesh."

They both had a sense of déjà vu, recalling the time where Tommy had surprised her by becoming the White Ranger.

"Are you ok Kim?"

As soon as the words left his mouth, Kim was out cold again. "We need to get her back to the command center."

"But Dr. O, shouldn't we get her to a hospital." Kira asked.

Tommy shook his head and gave them a small smile, "She just fainted that's all, too much excitement for her. Conner you and Kira grab her things and see if you can find some keys, see if she has a car waiting, and drive it back to my place, Ethan you and I will go in my car."

The team nodded, and went to there tasks, unknown to them, that Mesogog was watching the entire event with great interest.
