Dreams and Nightmares

Chapter 10: The Best Ranger in history

"I tracked Tommy's dino gem power and I found that there is a space ship on the moon." Hayley explained to Jason and the team.

"Can you teleport us there?" Jason asked. He is taking the leader role. He has to save his friends.

"I can try to open a portal to direct you to the moon, but I won't be able to keep it open for too much time." Hayley said. She has never tried this before, but she has to do everything to help Tommy and Kimberly.

"Start working on that, we have other things to do now. I'm also going to need your help with my power coin." Jason told her

"I already thought about that" Hayley said smiling.

"Good. Do you have any kind of explosives?"

"Why do you need it?" Kira asked, confused.

"We have to destroy Zedd's palace. We don't know what kind of information is in there." Jason explained them.

"I'll work on that too."

"I'll help you." Ethan offered. They need a lot of help to save their mentor and Kim.

"It could take a while" Everyone nodded to Hayley..

'I hope we get to them in time' thought Jason.

Kim last words have made Tommy think. Are they better without each other? Was it the right decision? She was right. He has lived a good life, he can't say no to that. He went to collage, got a PhD, and became a high school teacher. That's something that not even he had thought of before, but he really enjoyed teaching. But could his life have been different if he and Kim had talked, If they had resolved their differences, Probably. He probably would have stayed in Angel Grove, opened a dojo and they would have been married by now, they would probably have kids. Married, kids. These are thoughts that haven't been on Tommy's mind for a while. Tommy's thoughts were interrupted when he heard Kim giggling. "What is so funny?" he asked.

"Nothing, sorry." Kim said, trying to stop her laughter.

"No seriously, I need to know what could be so funny," He really needs to know how she can see something funny about their actual situation.

"I just thought that… This is the second freak monster that felt in love with me." Kim explained, again giggling.

It's true. Jason told him how Lord Zedd tried to make Kim his queen. Tommy couldn't help but laugh at that. He is picturing Kim in Rita's dress. "You're right, you must have some kind of cupid power over monsters. Hey I should introduce you to Mesogog, maybe that would make him stop trying to destroy us." Tommy said smiling.

"Mesogog? The names are still bad. So You're a ranger again and now you are the mentor." He gave her a look she recognize " Well I could tell it was you by the way you fight. Also, I heard Jason talking to you on the phone, but still… So you're 'The Zordon' now, funny because you were always his favorite"

"I am not 'The Zordon'. I can't be like him and I couldn't have been his favorite, he didn't choose me remember. Tommy said with sad tone.

"Tommy please, you still like to take that guilt trip." she can't believe he still does that. He used to have those thoughts when he was a teenager, but Kim thought that that would have changed after all that he had done. She is going to end this now.

"When you became the green ranger you had enough power to kill us." Tommy sighed, turning his head. He can't forget how he tried to hurt his friends. "Tommy" Kim said to make him return his gaze to her. "You had enough power to destroy us, to destroy theplanet, but you also had enough power to destroy Rita. You could have ruled the world on your own." Tommy never saw it that way before. "Rita had to put a spell on you to make you evil. When Jason broke the spell, he gave you the opportunity to choose and you decided to fight with us, to help us to protect the world."

'She's right' Tommy thought. When he had the chance to choose, he decided to fight with them. He had to use the power for good.

"You lost your power but you came back to help us, you saved our parents, our powers, you saved us… you saved the world."

He remembers that. He was the only hope and even when he was a little scared, he did it. Everything went fine and he got back his powers.

"You lost your powers again but you did it fighting because you realized that you were a hero even without a power coin. You were always a hero. You were ready in that moment, which was what Zordon saw in you to make you the leader. He created a new power to bring you back to the team."

He can't help but laugh when he remembered how she reacted when she saw him. All were surprised, but when he thought that Jason would be mad with him, they all greeted him onto the team again and accepted him as the new leader.

"You guided the team through many battles. Even when the situations didn't look good you saved the day. We could always trust in you."

'It was always a team work' Tommy thought. They were a good team.

"You saved the planet so many times and you understood when the time to leave the power to other team was."

It was hard for him but he knew it was the right thing to do.

"Still, even after you gave up your powers you still care about the world. You gathered all the red rangers and saved the world again."

They all did a great job, neither of them had doubts. They all worked together to win again. 'It felt good to have the power again' Tommy thought.

"After all you have done over the years, now you have your own team. You are teaching them all that you have learned over your life as a ranger. You are fighting at their side. They couldn't be luckier."

He was really scared when they became rangers. He wasn't sure they could do it, he was also scared about himself. How could he be able to guide them, to teach them? But they have proved to be good rangers and he helped them with that.

"You're right. You are not Zordon. You are Tommy Oliver, the best ranger and the mentor of the Power Rangers and I know something for sure, Zordon would be really proud of you."

He sighed while a smile started forming in his lips, realizing how she always found the right words for him. How she always is there for him when he needed her. How she never left him alone. She was always by his side. He realized now that if he is the best ranger in history, it's because she helped him to become that.

"Thank you" he said smiling at her.

"And you don't think that Rita would have chosen me to give me the powers. Only if they were to transform me into a Fashion Police monster that kills people criticizing their wardrobe" Kim said laughing.

"You were a good ranger" he assured her.

"Of course. I was a ranger before you" she smiled, then started walking again to the corner of the cell. That was when Tommy noted something strange.

"Kim, are you hurt? You're limping." Tommy asked, really concerned.

Kim leaned on the wall rubbing her feet and said, "Let's just say that you shouldn't start a fight wearing high heels."

"I will keep that in mind" Tommy answered giggling.

Kimberly looked at Tommy, sighing. She is thinking how good feels to be with Tommy again. But for how long, can they get out of this and solve their differences. "Your team is going to come for us, right? They are going to save us?" Kim asked.

"Don't worry, Jason is with them. They'll be here in any minute." Tommy assured her.

"Tommy" she said softly.

"Yes."

"Promise me something." she whispered.

"Anything." he answered, getting close to her.

"Promise me that we are going to get through this, that we are going to be Ok." she needs to know for sure that 'they' are going to be fine.

"I promise." he said, taking her in his arms and holding her tight. He understood what she meant. He wants them to be Ok too.

He held her for long time until he realized that she was falling asleep in his arms. 'She must be so tired' he thought.

"Come on." He sat on the floor and guided her to sit between his legs. He took off his jacket and put it over them. He holds her tight. She rested her head on his chest with one of her hands over his heart. "Better?" he asked.

Taking a deep breath she answered, "I am better now."She holds him tight, feeling his presence and reliving those feelings she gets every time he is close.
