Chapter 12: Goodbye

Kimberly walked into the auditorium that the karate competition was going to take place. Since Rocky injured his back, Jason was going to take his place in the competition. Kimberly finally got the courage and after all the time of thinking about it. She was going to tell Tommy about Kylie. She watched the competition and cheered for Jason. She was so happy to see that he was succeeding. "YEAH! GO JASON!" She shouted. She then jumped up and down cheering when she saw that they had one. "WAY TO GO!" She shouted.

After the competition, Jason jumped out of the ring and embraced Kimberly. "Congratulations," she told him. Jason smiled and then he saw her watch Tommy as he got ready to get off the ring.

"Go on," he whispered.

Kimberly nodded and just as she was about to tell him, her heart shattered. Tommy was hugging Kat and they both seemed happy. Tears welled up in her eyes. Jason could see the pain in her face. He knew that Kat and Tommy went on a couple of dates, but he didn't think was serious. Seeing the image before him just showed him that it was. "I----I---I can't do this," she whispered.

"KIM WAIT!" Jason called.

Kimberly ran out of the auditorium in tears. She was too late. Tommy was gone and she couldn't get him back.

She went back into the Power Chamber and cried into her pillow. Jason came in and placed his hand on her shoulder. "I'm so sorry, Kim," he murmured. She didn't answer him.

"Did you know?" She asked.

"I knew they went on a couple of dates, but that was it."

She sat up and looked at him. "I swear to you on my grandmother's grave that I didn't know that their relationship was serious, Kim," he assured her. Tears fell down her face.

"What are you going to do?" He asked.

"I'm not going to tell him about Kylie that's for sure," she replied.

"Why? He deserves to know."

"He probably wouldn't want to know now. Now that he's got Kat."

She got up and wiped her tears away. "Jas, I've made an important decision two days ago," she informed. He sat there staring at her back. She then turned to him with tears fall down her face. "I've decided to leave Angel Grove, for good. I'm never coming back," she informed.

"But, Kim, where will you go?" Trini suddenly put in as she came in.
"I'm not sure yet. But I can't stay here. There are too many memories," she replied.

"Kim..." she cut him off.

"I'm leaving, Jason, Trini," she informed.

She then walked out of the Power Chamber to go buy a car. "Should we let her go through with this?" Trini asked.

"It is her choice to make," Zordon replied.

They looked up at Zordon. "Tommy deserves to know that he has a daughter," Trini pointed out.

"It is Kimberly's choice whether she wants Tommy to know about the child. We can't make that choice for her," Zordon informed.
"What can we do?" Trini asked.

"We can only support her choice," Jason replied.

"Jason is correct, Trini," Zordon agreed.

Trini sighed as she looked at the sleeping baby in the crib. Kim made her decision and she couldn't change that.

Jason and Trini helped Kim put her things in her new car. She had a bunch of brochures in her hands as she embraced Jason and Trini. "Call us when you get there," Trini murmured.

"I will," Kimberly sighed.

She hugged Jason tight and then she got into the car. Kylie was sitting in her safety seat and Kimberly held up a brochure. "The Hart Express is leaving Angel Grove and heading towards Mariner Bay now," she told Kylie. She looked at Mariner Bay that was circled on a brochure. She started her car and drove off and not once did she look back at Angel Grove.
