Chapter 5- The Kiss
The space colony Terra Venture could be seen from almost any point in Angel Grove, at the moment, it was the tallest object on earth, and still almost impossibly to see the magnificent dome which concealed a man-made city similar to Angel Grove, and surrounding Californian cities themselves. Construction on Terra Venture had taken years upon years, but the time to search for a new planet had finally arrived, and with support from both NASADA, and an uprising military base called LightSpeed, GSA finalized their dream.
"Jason , that thing is huge," Kimberly commented as they approached the NASADA Space Port. She'd seen designs for years throughout her science classes, but she'd never been able to picture the actual scope it'd be in.
Jason nodded at her remark. "Yeah Kim, it's pretty amazing what they can do now, pretty soon, we'll be able to construct our own zords,"
Kimberly flashed him a 'yeah right' look, and opened her car door, when Jason had finally found a spot in what seemed like thousands of vehicles. "This reminds me of that summer at Six Flags,"
"The year you worked there?" Jason asked.
Kimberly nodded. "I haven't seen so many cars since then,"
Jason wanted to take her hand into his, and he wanted people to think they were a couple, that had come to experience the brilliance of Terra Venture together. He slightly pushed his hand into hers but pulled back realizing that id' be a terrible mistake.
Kimberly desperately wondered why Jason hadn't made any moves yet, she'd been trying to get his attention for the past three days. She smiled at him, and grabbed his hand. "Come on, we have to hurry, because I don't want to miss this!"
As they approached the entrance to the building various people in GSA uniforms were lined up taking publicity photos for the press. Kimberly caught sight of an older male, who looked as if he might have been a junior in college. He was talking back to a younger boy, and they both shared facial features with each other. Kimberly listened, as she caught wind of what seemed like a lecture.
Michael Corbett looked deeply into his little brother's eyes and sighed. "Listen Leo, I'm going to be fine, I need you to stay here on Earth, you're the man of the house now,"
Leo Corbett, who was only three years younger then his older brother shook his head. "No Mike, I have a bad feeling something terrible is going to happen to you, and believe me, I WILL find a way on to Terra Venture," Leo turned around and stomped off into the crowds, ignoring his brother's calls.
"Whoa, I'd hate to be him right now?" Kimberly said, sympathizing towards the younger boy. She turned around and realized that she'd lost Jason, but after glancing the crowds she finally sighted him being interviewed by a young blonde. She walked over and joined him, but regretted it after the "reporter" turned aimed the camera at her.
The blonde girl smiled at Kimberly and held the microphone closely to her lips. "Hi there! My name is Cassidy Cornell, and I'm the head reporter for Reefside Middle School, I'd love to have your thoughts on this glorious da-" she growled angrily at the microphone's sudden beeping and started smacking it with her hand. "Devin! What's wrong with this stupid thing? Principal Palsik told me to get as many interviews as I can!"
Kimberly pulled Jason away, so they could get to their seats faster. She laughed at him. "Wow Jase, I didn't know you had a thing for eighth graders,"
Jason laughed back. "Ha ha, very funny, Ms. Morphinominal. You know, that hand holding thing was kind of nice, it kept my hands warm,"
"Oh really?" Kimberly asked. "Well, these hands are off duty," she taunted, hiding them in her pants pockets.
Jason glanced at his watch and looked back at Kim. "Come on, we better find our seats, they'll be giving final speeches before boarding,"
Kimberly nodded, and ran off towards the arena, yelling at Jason that he couldn't catch her. Jason smiled and ran towards her quickly, enjoying the moment.

A large war ship hovered the moon, attempting to make contact with the Moon Palace once occupied by Lord Zedd and Rita Repulsa. The ship was called the Pellaeon, and was the personal travel ship of Dark Specter and his minions. He was aware of the gathering of Rangers on the Earth, and felt that he needed to stop it immediately.
Inside the Moon Palace, Rita Repulsa carried a broomstick, as she swept the last of the dust off the palace balcony and down onto the surface of the moon. They'd recently moved back into the Moon Palace a few months after her father Master Vile had evicted them from Gamma Vile. They'd been forced to travel in an RV for days on the moon, as they searched desperately for their former home. When they'd finally found it, it had been reduced to shambles and torn to pieces by the Machine Empire. It'd taken her months of cleaning, but the plump horned witch had finally managed to get it back into ship shape form.
"I've got such a headache!" Rita exclaimed, tossing the broom out through the balcony opening.
Lord Zedd rushed into the throne room alarmed by his wife's sudden uproar. "What's wrong my little pumpkin?" Zedd asked in a soothing yet angry tone.
"I can't stand that noise anymore!" Rita whined, referring to a space craft that had just entered the atmosphere. "It's driving me batty, Zeddy!"
Lord Zedd shook his head, wanting to tell his wife that she was already batty, but walked over to the palace balcony and glanced into the cosmos. He was stricken by what he could see, it was Dark Specter's soaring war ship, and he only knew that the dark lord was coming to the palace itself. He turned to his wife and laughed evilly.
Dark Specter's image appeared in the moon palace, sending Rita into a state of panic, but the Dark Monarch ignored her rude behavior, and turned his attention to Zedd. "Lord Zedd, I am aware that you have dealt with Earth's Power Rangers before,"
Lord Zedd nodded casually, hoping that he didn't cause any problems.
"Very well," Dark Specter responded. "There's a group of Zordon's pathetic fallen Rangers, planning to rescue him, and we must make sure that doesn't happen. I'm putting you and your wife in charge of this task, and if you fail me, you'll have more than your reputation to worry about,"
Lord Zedd nodded happily, finally able to be back in action, and destroy the pesky teenagers who had foiled all of his plans that had made him look like an idiot.
"Not that you have a good one to begin with," Dark Specter added, and his image was gone as fast as it came.
Zedd growled at his last comment and turned towards Rita. "Get up you little wench! It's show time!" he shouted, throwing his muscled arms into the air for praise of the Grand Monarch.

The afternoon was growing fainter in Switzerland, and many had already gone in for the night. Trini Kwan sat on a stool looking at a letter addressed to her from Angel Grove. She hadn't opened it all day, for it was like a trophy that one only can glance at. She sighed, deciding that she'd waited long enough, and picked the letter up slowly. Tearing the envelope open, the writing poured into her eyes.
Trini,
Zordon has been captured, and a new team of "space" rangers are off looking for him. We as original Power Rangers need to stick together. Look, I realize that you must have your reasons for staying in Switzerland, but everyone else from the Peace Conference has returned to Angel Grove, and it's time for you to come back too. We need you girl...I need you...and well, let's face it, we'll never be the same without the original Yellow Ranger.
Love Always,
Kimmy
Trini folded the letter back, and placed it slowly on the counter, and stared at the sunset outside.

Back at the NASADA launch pad, thousands of citizens from all over the world watched patiently as the Council of Terra Venture boarded the massive ship. The speeches were delivered, but slowly and gradually, the countdown clock began. Blue steam emitted form the four massive engines attached to the bottom of the ship, and it slowly lifted into the air. The thousands of people cheered as the great colony rotate around in and around, its shimmering beauty leaving brilliant shadows of light on the tan launch pad.
Kimberly turned to Jason and smiled. "This is so romantic," She couldn't help but stare at his passionate brown eyes, she could certainly tell that he was attracted to her, but was afraid to make the move. She finally decided that it was time for her to make the first move, so she looked him deeply in the eyes and moved towards his face, their lips brushed together slowly, and Kimberly could feel Jason's lips forcing back onto hers.
Jason was shocked, he hadn't expected Kimberly's actions at all, and was somewhat startled. He had Goosebumps all over, and found himself unable to stop, because the feeling he was experiencing was too good. Then a familiar voice was heard.
"Ah man,"
