"Kim, are you really sure you want to do this?" Aisha asked as she watched Kim continue packing her things. Her room at Aisha's house was full of boxes that were already packed and Kim was now starting on her clothes in the closet.
"I don't really have any other choice," Kim answered.
"You always have a choice and leaving Angel Grove won't lessen the pain of what Tommy did to you," Aisha replied.
"I know that Aisha but I just can't bear the thought of watching the two them together especially since they're expecting a baby," Kim told her.
"I still can't believe that Tommy and Katherine had sex and unprotected for that matter," Aisha remarked.
"Please, I don't even like thinking about that," Kim said.
"It's just not fair, why should you be the one to leave," Aisha said.
"I'm just lucky that Coach Schmidt still had a spot open for me to come to Florida," Kim responded.
"Yeah, I'm glad you still have the opportunity to train and compete in the Pan Globals but I hate the reason you're leaving, just a few weeks ago you had decided to stay here," Aisha reminded her.
"I was mostly staying because of my relationship with Tommy but now that it's over there's no reason I shouldn't go to Florida," Kim told her.
"Have you given any thought to who's going to replace you on the team since Kat's definitely out?" Aisha asked.
"No but Alpha and Billy have worked it out so that they can contact me in Florida and I can teleport whenever you guys need me, it's not the best solution but it's the best we can do until you guys are able to find someone more permanent," Kim explained.
"How soon do you have to leave?" Aisha asked.
"Tomorrow, I'm already a few weeks behind in training and I want to catch up," Kim informed her.
"But that's not enough time for us to plan a going away party for you," Aisha said.
"The last thing I feel like doing is celebrating but I would like it if you guys would come to the airport and say goodbye," Kim told her.
"Well would you at least consider going to the youth center one last time," Aisha replied.
"Sure, why don't you call Adam, Rocky and Billy and have them meet us there in an hour," Kim told her as she hurried to finish her packing.
"I still can't believe Kim's just taking off," Rocky said as he Billy and Adam sat at their usual table in the juice bar and waited for Kim and Aisha to arrive.
"Can you really blame her, its only going to get harder for her as Katherine's pregnancy progresses," Billy replied to him.
"Yeah it'd be like a constant reminder of the way that Tommy betrayed her," Adam told him.
"Alright, no more baby talk, here they come," Billy said as Aisha and Kimberly approached the table.
"I'm really going to miss you all," Kim said as she sat down next to Billy.
"We're going to miss you too but Billy says you'll be popping in from time to time," Rocky told her referring to the times when Kim would be back to help them in battle.
"Yeah but it won't be the same," Adam said.
"No it won't and it's only temporary, eventually we're going to have to find a new pink ranger," Billy said in a hushed tone.
"The team won't be the same without Kim," Rocky told her.
"Thanks Rocky, and who knows maybe once the Pan Globals are over I'll come home," Kim told him.
"I'm going to hold you to that," Aisha replied.
"It's been fun guys but I think I'm going to take one last walk in the park," Kimberly said after she and Aisha had been at the youth center for a couple of hours.
"Want some company?" Billy asked.
"No, I think I'd rather go alone," Kim replied.
"I guess I'll see you at home then," Aisha told her.
Kimberly walked slowly through the park and stopped when she came to the spot where she and Tommy had shared their first date. I guess nothing lasts forever.
"Hi Kim," Tommy said.
"Hello Tommy," she said turning around to face him.
"The others told me you came for a walk in the park and I just figured I might find you here," he told her.
"Is there something you wanted?" Kim questioned.
"I just thought I owed you an apology for the way things turned out, I never meant for you to find out about Katherine the way you did, I wanted to tell you myself," he explained.
"It's a little too late for apologies now don't you think," Kim said.
"I know you're right, but still I wanted you to know that I'm sorry for hurting you this way," Tommy replied.
"Why Katherine of all people and why did you sleep with her?" Kim questioned him.
"I don't know where to begin, Kat and I just started bonding over what we'd been through with Rita and I started realizing that Kat understood me more than anyone ever has and I couldn't help but want to be near her," Tommy informed her.
"I'm sorry if I couldn't seem to understand what you were going through but I did try," Kim replied.
"I know you did Kim and I'll always be grateful to you for that, you were the first person to reach out to me after I broke Rita's spell," Tommy told her.
"But it's not the same is it," Kim responded.
"No it's not, it's different with Katherine because she's been through it too and she's even harder on herself than I was," Tommy said.
"Then I guess I'm glad the two of you have each other," Kim said.
"Thanks Kim, I know you're going to blow everyone away at the Pan Globals," Tommy remarked.
"And I know that you're going to be amazing dad to your baby, take care of Kat," Kim said tears falling from her eyes as she gave him a hug.
"Goodbye, Kim," Tommy said as he watched her walk away.
