Chapter 2: Training Begins and a Lie

Kimberly woke up and found some clothes lying beside the bed. She got up and pulled the clothes on and getting rid of her old pajamas that she had worn for a long time. "Good morning, Kimberly," Alpha greeted in his cheerful voice.

"Good morning, Alpha," Kimberly greeted back.

"I brought you some food," he informed.

Kimberly smiled at the robot as he placed the food by her. "That's sweet, Alpha," she told him.

"Good morning, Kim," Billy greeted.

She looked at the glass to see Billy standing there with a grin. "I would think you'd be at school by now," she commented.

"Sorry, I forgot to tell you this, Kim, I've graduated high school early," Billy informed.

"Oh, Billy, that's wonderful," she told him.

"Good morning, Kimberly," Zordon greeted.

"Hi, Zordon," Kimberly greeted.

"Are you ready for your first training lesson?" Zordon asked.

"Yeah," Kimberly replied.

Alpha came forward with a pillow to sit down and Kimberly sat down. "Take deep slow breaths and erase everything from your mind," Zordon instructed. Kimberly took slow deep breaths and her mind was cleared. She was ready for the first part of the meditation.

Billy stood behind the glass observing Kimberly's training. Her brainwaves were still inhuman, but they weren't too high that it'll kill her. She was relaxed and the scans indicate that. Billy looked at his watch and called into the microphone. "Zordon, Alpha, I'll return shortly," he informed.

"Take your time, Billy, we'll handle Kimberly's training," Zordon assured him.

Billy nodded then he left to go meet the others at the Youth Center.

Billy arrived at the Youth Center and saw that Tommy was all set and ready to go for weightlifting. "Hey, Tommy, are you ready?" He asked.

"Yep," Tommy replied.

Billy lowered the weights and then Ernie walked over with a letter in his hands. "Tommy, this came for you, it's from Kimberly," Ernie informed. Billy was a bit confused.

"How could Kimberly send him a letter if she was either in a coma or in the Power Chamber?" He pondered.

"Oh, hey, Adam could you read this for me?" He asked.

"Sure, Tommy," Adam replied.

Billy listened to the letter and he was in shock. It was a breakup letter. However, he knew it couldn't be from Kimberly, because she's been a bit busy to write to Tommy.

(In the Power Chamber)

"You have done well today, Kimberly," Zordon informed. Kimberly got up with a smile.

"Thanks, Zordon," she told him.

Kimberly then steadied herself against the bed and Zordon knew that the training had drained her. "Get some rest, Kimberly, you're exhausted from the training today. Sleep and then your training will continue tomorrow," Zordon informed. Kimberly nodded and after eating something, she fell asleep.

Billy returned to the Power Chamber confused. "Billy, what troubles you?" Zordon asked. Billy looked over at his mentor with a sigh.

"Zordon, Tommy had received a letter today, it was from Kimberly. Did Kimberly send a letter to Tommy at all today?" Billy asked.

"I'm afraid she hasn't, Billy, she's been in training all day," Zordon replied.

"Then where could the letter come from?" He asked.

"I am not sure. Where will you go?"

"Katherine and I are taking Tommy to the mountains to get over the "breakup" letter."

"Keep a lookout for King Mondo, may the power protect you."

Billy nodded and then he left.

(Two Days Later)

After the battle with King Mondo, Billy had disappeared. "Where did Billy go?" Tommy asked.

"I have no idea," Kat replied.

Billy came to the glass room to see Kimberly groaning and coughing. "Zordon, what's wrong with her?" Billy asked. Alpha walked over to him.

"Kimberly will be fine, she's just going through her daily routine," he replied.

"Alpha is right, while she is with child she will be going through illnesses like this until later months," Zordon replied.

Kimberly finished feeling sick and sat up while cleaning herself up. "Billy?" Kimberly asked.

"I'm here, Kim," he replied.

"Where did you go?" She asked.

"I...uh went on a trip with the rest of the Rangers," he replied.

"Zordon tells me that King Mondo attacked again?"

"Yeah, he did."

"Billy."

"Yeah."

"Promise me something."

"Anything, Kim."

"Don't tell Tommy that I'm here and don't tell him about the baby. I'm not sure it's even his."

"I promise."

Kimberly then fell asleep with her hand on her stomach again.
