"So what's next Dr. O?" Ethan asked as he walked into the room carrying a box, setting it down on the floor next to a group of other boxes.

Tommy sighed. "I'm sealing up the entrance to the cave, and I'm going to dedicate more time to teaching. After all, I'm good at it, and its something I love to do," he told him.

"Yeah, but you're good at other things, too. What happens if Mesagog comes back, or if…" he was interrupted as Tommy shook his head.

"If history teaches us anything, it's that the bad guys don't come back. Besides, if there's another threat to the Earth, it will be up to a new group of rangers to defeat them. You and the others have done a huge service to the entire world, and I thank you for that, but now, our job is done. Its time that we got on with the rest of our lives. But first…" he walked over to the table, picking up a disc. "I'd like you to make a record of what he did here and add it to the information on ranger history. You never know, it just may help another group of rangers in the future."

"You mean like a chronicle? Like the one you made for us? You want me do to it?"

"You're the computer genius. You can use the computers in Hayley's Cyberspace to do it. Shouldn't take you long."

"I'm on it Dr. O, but I'm not sure I know how to…"

"Don't worry Ethan, it'll come to you. When I had to do it, I wasn't sure how to start, but the answers you seek lie beneath you," he told him.

"The what does what?" he shrugged his shoulders with a confused look on his face. "I'll give it a try Dr. O." he paused. "So where are the others? It'll take us all day to move this stuff without them."

"Conner is at practice and Kira had another gig. Don't worry, I called an old friend to help out."

Just then, the entrance to the cave opened, and a man walked out carrying a box. "Tommy, where do you want this?"

Tommy walked over to him, taking the box and taking a quick glance inside. "This is my old morphers and power coin. I'll put this stuff in the basement, you never know when I'll need it again," he paused. "Ethan, this is my old friend Adam from Angel Grove. Adam, this is Ethan James," he introduced.

Ethan extended his hand to him. "You were the black ranger, right?" he asked, recognizing him from the video diary Tommy showed them.

Adam gave a quick glance to Tommy, who nodded, tacitly giving him the okay to talk about it. "Black, then green," Adam corrected, shaking his hand.

"Blue… just blue, but you never know. Maybe I'll get called away to some special Forever Blue mission to the moon."

Adam turned to Tommy again. "You told him about that?"

"I told him everything. He has my trust, they all do," Tommy said with a tone of confidence in his voice.

"That's good enough for me. So, what are you going to do with all this dinosaur stuff? Its nice and all, but its starting to look like a museum in here," Adam mentioned.

"I'm donating most of it to Mercer Industries. Now that Anton is himself again, we'll be working together. I'm going to keep the rest of it for sentimental reasons," he said.

"Speaking of sentimental, guess who I talked to yesterday?"

"Who?"

"Kim," Adam said.

Ethan watched as the look on Tommy's face went completely blank. It was as if all the blood drained from his face, leaving him a pale, emotionless ghost. There was silence between them as Tommy and Adam simply stared at one another.

"Okay, I'll bite. Who is Kim?" Ethan asked.

The mere mention of her name was enough to stop Tommy cold. He was sure after she went to the Pan Globals, he would never see her again. Then, once he received her letter, he was convinced that the feelings between them were over. He did her again during his first mission as a Turbo ranger, but there was no mention of their past together. It was, in his opinion, for the best. 'After all, I have to move on with my life, not look back,' he thought.

"Kim is an old friend of mine. I haven't seen her in years," Tommy sighed.

"There's an gymnastics competition here in Reefside tomorrow, and she's competing. I told her I was coming out here to help you pack a few things and asked her to stop by once her practice was over. I hope that was okay," Adam said.

Tommy nodded. "Of course it is. It'll be good to see her again."

Ethan noticed the unspoken tension between them the second Kim was mentioned, and though he knew he didn't know the whole story, he knew enough to know Kim was very important to Dr. Oliver. "I'm gonna go. I'll get started on that chronicle for you Dr. O, and I'll let you know how it turns out," he said.

"Thanks again for your help Ethan," he said.

"Nice meeting you," Adam said.

"You too, see ya round."

Once Ethan was gone, Adam turned to Tommy. "Kinda young, isn't he?"

"Weren't we all when we started this? He's a good kid, and I trust him with my life, just like I trusted you and the others."

"Hey, are you sure you're okay with this whole Kim thing?" Adam asked.

"Yeah, I am. It'll be good to finally have some closure with her. After all, we're older now. Its not like our high school crush means…" he was cut short as Hayley walked into the room.

"Means what Tommy?" she inquired.

"It was a long time ago Hayley. She moved on a long time ago, and its time I move on too."

"Are you sure you can do that?"

"What do you mean?"

"Kimberly was all you talked about while we were in grad school. You still have her picture in your wallet, its obvious you still have feelings for her. This could be your chance to be with her again," she brought up.

:"Guys, I know what you're trying to do, and its okay. I've dated plenty of times since Kim and I broke up, I'm fine."

"Sure, that ski instructor almost ten years ago, and maybe you went out with Katherine a few times, but that's it," Adam said.

"Actually," he glanced over at Hayley. "Hayley and I dated for a while, but when I found the dino gems it became necessary to keep our relationship on a business level. She built the morphers, most of the vehicles and all the equipment in the lab. She's been a big help," he said.

"Going to a dinosaur exhibit doesn't qualify as dating Tommy. Besides, you were so occupied with Kim that you never took it seriously anyway," she paused. "This will be good for you. Go see her, see where you stand with her."

"She'll be at the downtown gym for at least another hour. Go see her, Hayley and I will finish up here," Adam said.

"Are you guys sure?"

"Positive. Now get outta here."

"Aww man, you guys are the best," Tommy said with a smile on his face, walking out the room.

"I hope he finds what he's looking for," Hayley sighed.
