*A/N* I know I don't like to do author notes, but I think I need one now. Once again I own nothing the song used belongs to disney I think, no matter what I don't own anything in this story except William but then again he is a real person so really I don't own him either. Oh well on with the story. I know it is a little boring right now but please bare with me you will get you the beginning of major action in this chapter. Sorry this chapter is long but I was on a roll Thanks!!!!!!!

You don't look happy. Tom said as he put his arm around Kimberly's shoulders.

She rested her head on him and moved closer to him.

I just broke up with William. Kimberly said.

I'm sorry you must be feeling horrid. Tom said as he wrapped his arms around her.

That's the thing I feel horrid because I don't feel horrid for breaking up with him. I feel nothing about it and that's why I feel bad. If that even makes any sense at all. Kimiko said with a deep sigh.

Okay everyone listen up we only have a few days before we start recording the new Tribe album, plus you three start recording your solo albums. Kimberly are you sure you don't need help with writing yours, it needs to be done in a few days. Raymond started

I'm sure, it will be completely ready by the end of the week. I just finished two songs last night and am close to finishing the rest. If I need any help I'll ask Zack he and I work great together. Kimberly said.

Okay, now the next thing is because we are having this publicity event at a sports expo at some sport shop called Storm Chargers, Kimberly will be making her appearance there not only as a entertainer but also as former Pan Global athlete. So if anyone else would like to participate with a demo or would like to enter any of the races please let us know so we can start to form the next filming block around that just incase any of you get hurt. Which by the way please don't get hurt. Raymond finished

Damn there go my plans of a vacation from filming. Kimberly joked.

Fine just for that your up first since you finished two songs. Raymond said smugly

Damn, I can't one of them is a duet and no one has had time to prepare for it. Kimberly said innocently.

Kat just rolled her eyes. She couldn't believe it, Kimberly was the same as ever always having the guys in her life wrapped around her finger. Well she didn't care she had Tommy and that is all that matters. Kat thought as she smiled while wrapping her arms around Tommy's arm.

Fine but just at least sing the one, so we can get the band ready for it. Raymond said.

Kimberly said as she and Tom got off the couch

Tom took the sheet music Kimberly hand and grabbed his guitar as he took a seat on the stool in the front of the room. While Kimberly stood there waiting for him to be ready. Tom nodded and started to play the first few cords. Kimberly took a deep breath she was so nervous she looked around the room and everyone. Her eyes locked with Tommy's they both stared at each other. It was as if Kimberly's body was programmed to do what her mind screamed she shouldn't do, she began to sing knowing that this could and probably will kill any chance her and Tommy had of every being friends or even civil to each other.

When I was just a little girl
My momma used to tuck me into bed
and she'd read me a story
It always was about a Princess in distress
And how a guy would save her and end up with the glory

I'd lie in bed and think about the person that I want to be
Then one day I realized the fairy tale life wasn't for me

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself

Someday I'm gonna find someone who wants my soul, heart, and mind
Who's not afraid to show that he loves me
Somebody who will understand I'm happy just the way I am
Don't need nobody taking care of me

I will be there for him just as strong as he will be there for me
When I give myself then it has to got to be, an equal thing

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
Don't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself

I can slay, my own dragons
I can dream, my own dreams
My knight in shining armor is me
So I'm gonna set me free

I don't wanna be like Cinderella
Sittin' in a dark old dusty cellar
Waiting for somebody, to come and set me free
I don't wanna be like Snow White waiting
For a handsome prince to come and save me
On a horse of white, unless we're riding side by side
~repeated twice more~
Don't want to depend on no one else
I'd rather rescue myself


As Kimberly ended her song she had never taken her eyes off of Tommy she could see the hurt in his eyes. She quietly walked of stage as everyone clapped she ignored everyone and proceed to walk out of the room and headed straight for her apartment. Tommy got up seconds after Kimberly walked out the door and followed her much to the amazement of everyone. Kat then proceed to follow the two with plans of keeping the far apart.

As Kimberly entered her apartment she pass her stereo and turned it on blasting Nickelbacks .

Of course. She said to herself as she went to fast forward the song.

Tommy called out as he entered the apartment

It wasn't meant towards you it's just one of the many things I've been dealing with lately. Kimberly said as she made her way back to her bedroom.

She hoped Tommy would get the hint and leave she was so scared what if she lost control of her emotions and something happened she couldn't tell him she couldn't tell anyone. When she sat down on her bed she was disappointed to see Tommy didn't take the hint.

Tommy softly knocked on the door.

Can we talk? He asked in a soft voice.

Talk or fight? Kimberly retorted

Talk, I'm sorry for the way I acted earlier. I was in shock of seeing you, since the letter no one has heard from you I can't tell you how many times I have had nightmares of you being dead, hurt, heck I even had one that Rita kidnapped you. Tommy said as he sat on the bed beside her.

He noticed she tensed up at the mention of Rita's name.

What letter? I keep hearing about this letter that I supposedly sent to you, breaking up with you. I never sent you a letter, but I sure got yours telling me how much you hated me. Kimberly said as she twisted her hands together.

What letter I nev... wait you got that it wasn't suppose to be sent. Wait what do you mean you never sent me that letter? Tommy asked in complete shock.

Right as Kim was about to answer they heard someone come into the apartment.

Wait here please I'll be right back. Kimberly said as she got up.

Kimberly walked out into the common room to find Kat there getting ready to head back to the bed rooms.

Can I help you? Kim asked coldly.

I'm looking for My Boyfriend. Kat replied

Should you know where he is or did you lose control of the leash? Kimberly asked as she took a few steps towards Kat.

Just tell me do you know where Tommy is or not? Kat asked while looking around for any signs that Tommy was there

Kimberly walked around Kat so the Kat's back was to the bedrooms.

I can tell you honestly he is not in any of the rooms in this apartment. Kimberly said she noticed Tommy trying to hide in the shadow in the hall way

Tell me Kat Zack had mentioned a letter that I supposedly sent to Tommy. This letter didn't happen to arrive while I was in the hospital with a dislocated shoulder, and I was only able to contact you to tell you and ask that you let the guys know that I would be in contact for a while was it? Kimberly asked as she started to put two and two together.

Oh gee you know what it was. I'm glad to see all that blonde dye has soaked into the brain yet. Kat said smugly

Let me ask you one last thing it clear to me you wrote that letter to Tommy. Was it all part of Rita's plan or was becoming good and stealing Tommy after you got my powers your plan? Cause I remember Zordon telling me a spell can't work unless part of you is willing to let the spell work. Kimberly said as she tried to pretend she didn't see Tommy.

Well it looks like you got it all figured out and your right normally I wouldn't be into all of the goodie good stuff the rangers stood for, but it seemed to turn Tommy on so I figured what the Hell use what works. Kat said

Now if you done I need to find my boyfriend. Kat said as she took a step back

You mean ex-boyfriend. Look behind kitty Kat. Kimberly said as she sat on the arm of the sofa.

Tommy, I'm glad I found you I...

Save it Kat I heard it all. How could you? I thought you cared. Tommy said cutting Kat off mind sentence.

Tommy I did it for us. Kat hurried over to him

There is no us and in all honesty I don't think that there ever was. Tommy said coldly

Well not that, that is over. You can leave now Kat, Tommy and I have a lot to talk about. Kimberly said

You don't deserve him. Kat yelled as she walked over to Kimberly.

Kimberly stood up. The two girls stood face to face.

That's for him to decide. Now leave Kimberly said

Kat slapped Kimberly and went to slap her again when Kimberly caught her hand by her wrist. Kimberly twisted Kat's arm and body around so Kat's arm was pinned against her back. Kimberly walked Kat to the open door and pushed her out before slamming the door in Kat's face.

Kimberly I'm so sorry for everything your right though we do need to talk. Tommy said as he sat on the couch.

Kimberly sat in a over sized leather chair facing the couch. Both her and Tommy in shock of what had just happened.

So where does this leave us? Kimberly asked

I was hoping you can tell me. Tommy admitted

We've both changed a lot I don't think we can pick up where we left off. Kimberly admitted

I guess your right. Tommy said sadly

Kimberly got up and walked over to the couch.

Excuse me I normally don't do this but I was wondering would you like to go out some time I know we just meant and all but you reminded me of a man I really loved. Kimberly said as she extended her hand.

Tommy smiled and took her hand he stood up and faced her.

I would love to and I have to admit you reminded of a women I never stopped loving. Tommy replied

He went to push some of Kimberly's hair behind her ear when he let out a small gasp.

Kimberly asked quickly

Your bleeding. Kat must of cut you when she slapped you. I'm going to go get Adam.

TOMMY STOP! This is what I mean it's been 5 years, I'm 22 and am perfectly capable of taking care of myself. I don't need you to take care of me. I want to take care of myself for once in my life. Kimberly said as she rolled her eyes

So you Miss Independent now? Tommy asked with a sly smile

I guess I am you got a problem with it. Kimberly joked as she poked her finger in to Tommy's chest

Nope I find it kind sexy.

Then prepare to see the sexiest woman alive cause you ain't seen nothing yet. Kimberly said as she started to head into the bathroom to clean her cut.
