Forever Red: Again
Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers. If I did, would any of us really need this site? Tommy and Kim would have been together the whole time and he wouldn't have accepted the letter sitting down, if she wrote it at all. Anything you don't recognize from the show is mine.
Nightwing 509: Thank you so much. It means a lot to me that people liked my story. The girls have to surprise them. They lied to the girls. That's the worst thing any male ranger could do to the girls. That, and think that the girls couldn't handle it.
jedi4jesus19: Thank you. I'm glad you like it so far.
XfallenXlonliness: Thank you so much. Like I said, they didn't tell the girls the truth and didn't invite them. Some of the girls, even the ones dating red rangers, hadn't known about the Serpentera mission. Girl Power does rule.
Fire Dolphin: I sent you an e-mail to answer your review, but I don't know if you read it, so I'll say it again. I love the idea of having the girls make the guys pay for leaving them out of, not one, but two, 'red ranger' missions. Since Ashley, Trini, and Aisha are already in the story, I have to have the yellow rangers too. Ashley is seriously mad at Andros for not telling her the truth. I'm also going to have Tori and Alyssa. The girls won't actually kick the guy's butts, just make them sorry they ever lied. You'd think the guys, especially the guys that know Kim, Kat, Trini, and Aisha, would realize that you don't make a girl, especially a former female ranger, mad. Don't worry, it might take me awhile, but I will finish this story. I can't stand to have unfinished things in my head. It's like when you can't figure out why something seems familiar and it just bugs you until you figure it out. Thanks for reviewing. I hope you keep reading and enjoying my story.
C2: Thank you for saying it's promising. I'm sorry it's hard for you to follow. Actually, I didn't have problems loading it. I wrote it the way it is on purpose. I don't plan on changing my style. I think it makes it sound more like a conversation the way I have it. Sorry if it bothers you. I hope you don't stop reading because of it.
C.H.: I'm glad you like it. I plan to keep going.
lc: Thank you so much. I'm glad you think it's so interesting. I love the idea of girl power. I never thought the girls were weak. I always thought they were the more powerful. I mean, the guys did everything in their power to make sure the girls were safe. The girls had, and have, the guys wrapped around their little finger. That's what I call power. I also think that they can hold their own in a fight. That's why they are going to help the guys. Don't worry, I plan on finishing the story.
Spirit: I'm glad you're excited about my story. I don't think I've read one quite like it, either. I hope you continue reading.
Thank you all of you that read my story but didn't review.
Chapter 2: Going to Space and Making Plans Part 1
Angel Grove: Mid Afternoon
While the others were going to the five other cities to collect the girls, Kimberly stayed in Angel Grove. Before leaving, Ashley and Cassie convinced Zhane and Carlos to leave the Megaship. The boys left immediately, afraid of being around all the girls and making them mad by not leaving them alone. Kimberly went to the Megaship to contact Miranoi. She needed to contact Karone, Kendrix, and Maya.
She smiled as a familiar face appeared on the screen. "Kim, it's great to see you. How are you? What are you doing on the Megaship? Are the others okay? Why are you calling us?"
"Calm down, calm down. I'm fine. I'm on the Megaship for a little gathering. Everyone is okay. I'm calling to-. Karone, are the boys in the room?"
"No, I'm alone. Leo went on a business trip and Mike, Kai, and Damon are out playing football. Kendrix and Maya are watching them. Kendrix misses Leo already, and he only left this morning. Why? Should I get them?" Karone asked, as she started to get up.
"No, no. Don't get them. Us girls are having a little get together to get some payback. Don't ask," she said, as Karone opened her mouth to talk, "we'll explain later. Can you, Kendrix, and Maya come with us? We don't know how long we'll be, but we have a cover. We're telling all the guys that we're having a sleepover. If you can come, we'll explain when you get here. So, will you come?"
"I'll come, but let me ask the girls. I'll be back in a minute." said Karone, as she went to ask Kendrix and Maya. A few minutes later, Karone was back, with two people beside her. "Kim, we'll all come. If we leave now, we can be there by tomorrow morning. See you then. Bye."
"Bye, Karone." After talking to Karone, Kimberly checked on the progress of the other girls. Then she started getting the rooms ready for when everyone arrived.
Mariner Bay: Mid Afternoon
"Yep, we're almost there. We'll contact you when we're on our way back. Bye, Kim." Ashley said, as Cassie pulled up in front of the Mariner Bay hospital. They decided it would be easier to find Dana Mitchell at the hospital than going hiking after Kelsey Winslow. After walking in, they went to the main desk to ask for Dana.
"Hello. If you'll please fill out these forms and take a seat, a doctor will be with you." the woman behind the desk said, as she handed them a clipboard.
"We don't have anything wrong with us. We just need to see Dr. Dana Mitchell. It's really important. Can we see her?" Ashley asked.
"I'm sorry, Dr. Dana doesn't take personal visits unless it's from her father, brother, or four friends," the nurse said.
"Look, I understand that you don't want her to be mad at you, but this is an emergency. We have to talk to her now." Cassie said. They looked at each other when the nurse gave them an apologetic look. Suddenly, Ashley got an idea.
"I understand the position you're in. Believe me, I do. But just tell her that two girls wearing pink and yellow are here to see her. Tell her we said we know Leo, Wes, and their friends. She'll understand." The woman gave them a skeptical look before going to get Dana. A few moments later, the nurse returned with a very worried looking Dana.
"I'm Dana. Who are you? What's going on? Is something wrong?" she asked in a rush.
"I'm Ashley, this is Cassie. Nothing's wrong yet. We found out this morning that the boys left on another 'boys only' trip. Every one of them lied and said they were going on a business trip. Let me guess, Carter suddenly left for a business trip this morning." she said, off Dana's shocked look.
"Yeah, he did. He told us he had to go and wasn't sure when he'd be back. But what has that got to do with me?" she asked, a confused look on her face.
"We decided to go pay them a visit. Plus, they may need help. We're telling all the guys that there is a huge sleepover on the Megaship. We split up to collect all the girls. So can you and Kelsey come?" asked Ashley.
"I'll come, but let me ask Kelsey. She's supposed to meet me here for lunch. There she is. I'll be right back," she said, then walked towards Kelsey. Ashley and Cassie watched the two talk and then walk back to them.
"Hi, I'm Kelsey. Dana explained what's going on, and I'd love to come," Kelsey said.
"I'm so happy you both agreed. We need to go back to Angel Grove now. The others are meeting us there. Once everyone has arrived, we'll go after the boys. They took the Alphaship. It's the latest ship from KO-35. Come on, let's go," Ashley said, as the four girls started to leave, pausing while Dana explained she would be gone indefinitely. Then they stopped to talk to the guys and get Dana and Kelsey's stuff. After telling Kimberly they were on their way, they left for Angel Grove.
Silver Hills: Mid Afternoon
Aisha sighed as she crossed into Silver Hills. She wasn't sure how she was going to convince the one ranger left to let her talk to Jen and Katie in the future. She knew Wes, but not Eric, and Wes was gone. Wes had come through Angel Grove once, and they had all met him. It was before Jason, Kat, and Kimberly had moved back. He had told them about Eric, especially how untrusting he was. Suddenly, it hit her. She had told Wes she would love to meet Jen and Katie. He had given her a letter to convince everyone he approved of her. If he wasn't there, she was to give the letter to Eric and he was to contact the future. After taking a deep breath, she walked inside the Silver Guardians' headquarters.
"Hello. My name is Aisha Campbell, and I'm here to see Eric Myers."
"Please take a seat. He will be with you soon." the man at the desk said, pointing at some chairs.
"Please tell him to hurry. This can't wait." she said, before taking a seat. As she watched, a man walked up to the desk. She watched as both men looked at her. Then, the man that had just arrived came over to her.
"I'm Eric Myers. What do you want?" he asked.
"My name is Aisha. I need you to help me contact Jen and Katie. I met Wes a few years ago, and he said you'd help me. He told me to give you this. He said it would convince you." He took the letter and read it carefully. Then he looked back at her.
"Come with me. I'll help you, but we can't contact them here. Lets go to my office," he said, after glancing around the room. She followed him to his office.
"Here. You place these here and the connection should go through," he said, showing her what to do.
"Thank you, Eric. Can I please talk to them in private?" Aisha asked. All of a sudden, a person appeared on the screen. After Eric explained who Aisha was, he left. The green haired person called for Jen and Katie. Then he left.
Two girls appeared on the screen next. "Are you Jen and Katie?" she asked. The serious looking girl nodded.
"Yes, I'm Jen. This is Katie." she said, pointing to the other girl. "What is so important? Trip said Eric contacted him. Eric doesn't trust anyone unless Wes tells him to. That means you've met Wes. Why didn't he contact us?" Jen asked.
"Trip? Oh, you must mean the green haired guy. Yes, I have met Wes, but it was a few years ago. Are the two of you alone?" Aisha asked.
"Yeah, we're alone. You didn't answer Jen's question. Where's Wes?" asked Katie, after sharing a look with Jen.
"That's actually why I'm contacting you. I don't know if you know about it, but several years ago, the red rangers went to the moon to keep Serpentera out of the hands of evil. Some of them lied to us girls. We found out this morning that they're going on another mission. All of them lied. They all said they were going on a sudden business trip. We decided to follow them. We want to make them squirm. Many of them lied to their girlfriends. You'd think they would've learned not to lie to us. We also want to help, since we found out there is no known way to destroy this evil. Will the two of you come with us? We're telling all the guys that we're having a sleepover on the Megaship. So far, none of them have asked any questions. If you come, you might as well bring the rest of your team with you, just in case we need help," Aisha said. The two girls looked at each other, grinning, before looking back at the screen.
"Sure, we'll come. We'll go get Trip, Lucas, and some of our things, then we'll leave. We should be there in about an hour. Wait for us at the beach. Eric will show you how to get there. Bye, Aisha. See you soon," Jen said. The screen went blank and Aisha called Kimberly to tell her about how long she thought she would be. Then she went to find Eric so he could show her the beach.
Turtle Cove: Mid Afternoon
After double-checking the address of the school that she had just gotten from Kimberly, Tanya continued into the center of Turtle Cove. She had thought about finding Taylor Earhardt first, but had decided it would be easier to get into an elementary school rather than an air force base. Luckily, school should be letting out in about thirty minutes. That would make things much easier. She wouldn't have to wait for a substitute to be found before they could leave. After finding the school, she parked and went inside, walking up to the visitor's desk.
"Hello, dear. Are you here to pick up one of the students?" the kind looking receptionist asked.
"No, I'm not picking up a student. I'm actually here to see one of the teachers. Her name is Alyssa Enrile. It's a very important, confidential matter. If it weren't, I'd wait until school let out for the day. May I please speak with her?" Tanya asked. The woman reached behind her and brought out a clipboard and a visitors pass.
"Yes, you may go speak with her. Please sign in and put this pass on. Miss Enrile's room is down that hall. It's the sixth door on the right. Make sure you knock first. When you're ready to leave, please sign out and return the pass," the woman said, pointing to the hall on the left. After doing what the woman asked, she thanked her and headed towards the specified room. Once she reached it, she knocked and waited for it to open.
The door was opened by a young woman wearing white and pink clothes. "Hello. Who are you?" she asked.
"My name is Tanya Sloan. I need to talk to you about something very important." After giving her class some instructions, Alyssa stepped out of the room and shut the door.
"Okay, we're alone. My name is Alyssa Enrile, but I'm guessing you already know that. Now, please tell me the reason you're here. I need to get back to my students," Alyssa said. Tanya quickly looked around, making sure they wouldn't be overheard.
"I was once a Power Ranger. I know," she said, placing a hand in the air to silence Alyssa, "it's hard to believe. It's the truth. My color was yellow. I was in Angel Grove at the time. I know that you were the white ranger and that Taylor was the yellow ranger. I came to ask you if you and Taylor would like to come on a mission. We are following the red rangers. I know Cole left this morning on a sudden trip. All of them said that. Many of them lied about the last mission they went on also. We figured we'd follow them. We can kill two birds with one stone. We can prove that they shouldn't lie to us and that we are just as good as them. We can help them defeat the bad guys. From what we know, they'll need help. So, will you come?" asked Tanya.
"Yes, I'll come. Let me inform the office, then we can go ask Taylor," said Alyssa. After stopping at the office and visitors desk, the two girls headed towards the base.
Once Alyssa told the guards who she was, the two girls were given passes and ushered through the gates. After a quick search, the two girls found Taylor. They quickly explained the situation, with Tanya telling them the cover story, and Taylor agreed. She got permission to leave indefinitely and then they went to gather their stuff. They told the boys the cover story and headed towards Angel Grove, calling Kimberly on the way.
Blue Bay Harbor: Mid Afternoon
After pulling up in front of the obviously popular sports store, the girl went inside. She felt slightly out of place, not being into many sports herself, other than dancing and diving. She began looking and asking around, trying to find someone to help her. Finally, someone pointed out the girl she was looking for. After thanking the person, she walked towards the girl, who was sitting in a little nook by herself.
"Tori Hanson?" Kat asked. The girl looked at her, confused.
"Yes, I'm Tori. Who are you?" "My name is Katherine Hillard. Is there someplace private we can talk?" she asked. The girl nodded and walked into a back room, Kat following.
"This is as private as I can do. Now, what do you want?"
"This may be hard to believe, but let me explain before you interrupt. I was once a Power Ranger, and I know you were, too. Several years ago, many of the red rangers went on a mission. Some of them lied about their activities. Now they've gone on another mission. This time, they've all lied. They all had sudden business trips to go on. All of them left this morning. This is the second mission that many of the female rangers have been lied to about. I know Shane is on this mission, even if he only has his Ninja powers. We have decided to go after the boys. Would you like to come?" asked Kat. Tori was shocked by what she just heard, but realized that only another ranger could know all the things Kat did. She regained her composure and thought about the offer.
"I'd love to come. I need to get some things. What should I tell the others? And what should I tell Sensei?" Tori asked.
"We've been telling all the guys that we're having a ranger sleepover. No boys allowed. Tell your Sensei that you were offered a chance to meet all the female rangers and you couldn't pass it up," suggested Kat. The two girls left to get Tori's things and tell the boys and Sensei that she would be gone for awhile. Then they called Kimberly and left for Angel Grove. According to Kimberly, everyone was on their way. The only person who hadn't checked in was Trini.
Reefside: Mid Afternoon
Hayley's Cyberspace reminded her of the Youth Center. It seemed very crowded, and as she walked in, she discovered why. On the stage, a young girl was introduced as Kira Ford. Trini listened as the girl began to sing. She reminded her of Kimberly, which was kind of funny, considering Tommy was this girls mentor. 'It's going to be very interesting once we're on the ship with the boys,' thought Trini. As Kira stepped off the stage, Trini intercepted her.
As the woman stepped in front of her, she stared in shock. Then, she let herself be led outside. "Oh my God. You're the original yellow ranger. Wow. This is so cool. When we watched Dr. O's video, we never thought we'd get to meet the original rangers. This is such an honor," Kira said in an excited whisper, once they were outside.
"Thank you, I guess. Well, since you know who I am, I'll just get to the point. All of the red rangers, including Conner and Tommy, I mean, Dr. Oliver, have gone on a dangerous mission. They lied to all the girls. We're going after them. We're telling the guys we're having a huge sleepover. Will you join us?" Trini asked.
"Of course I'll join you. It would be an honor."
"Thank you, Kira." said Trini. With that, they went back inside to make Kira's excuses. After getting Kira's things, they checked in with Kimberly and headed for Angel Grove.
Angel Grove: Dusk
Kimberly sat on the Megaship, waiting for the others. As not everyone was used to teleportation, she had landed the Megaship where the Command Center once stood. Everyone was to take a taxi to the mountain and hike to the Megaship to avoid suspicion. As the doors to the ship opened, she prepared herself for all the questions she was sure to receive. As they walked into the room, she motioned for them to take a seat. As she watched them, she realized that the girls sitting together seemed to know each other and that they had arranged themselves in order. Once they were all seated, all eyes turned to her. She took a deep breath and stood up.
"Welcome to the Megaship. Before I answer your questions, lets introduce ourselves. When it's your turn, state your name and what colors you've been on which team. Lets start with the newest rangers and end with the oldest." Kimberly said, looking at Kira, who sat next to her.
"My name is Kira Ford. I was the yellow Dino Thunder ranger."
"I'm Victoria, or Tori, Hanson, blue Wind Ninja ranger."
"Taylor Earhardt, yellow Wild Force."
"Hi, I'm Alyssa Enrile. I was the white Wild Force ranger."
"Kathleen Lawson. Katie for short. I was yellow Time Force."
"Jennifer Cahill. Call me Jen. Pink Time Force."
"Hi. I'm Kelsey Winslow and I was the yellow Lightspeed Rescue ranger."
"I'm Dana Mitchell. I was pink Lightspeed Rescue."
"I'm Cassie Chan. I was the second pink Turbo ranger and the pink Space ranger."
"Hi. Ashley Hammond. I was the second yellow Turbo ranger and the yellow Space ranger."
"I'm Tanya Sloan. I was the yellow Zeo ranger and the first yellow Turbo ranger."
"Hello. I'm Katherine Hillard. I go by Kat. I was the second pink Morphin', pink Zeo ranger, and first pink Turbo ranger."
"I'm Aisha Campbell and I was the second yellow Morphin' ranger." All eyes suddenly turned to Trini and Kimberly and they realized that the two were the original rangers. They looked at each other nervously before continuing.
"Trini Kwan. Original yellow Morphin' ranger."
"Hello. My name is Kimberly Hart. You can call me Kim. I was the original pink ranger. We were the Mighty Morphin' rangers. Before we get too busy, follow me to your rooms. Meet back here in one hour and I'll explain everything to you." Then she showed them their rooms and where the Synthetron was.
One Hour Later
"About five years ago, most of the red rangers, through Wild Force, went on a mission to the moon. Many of them lied when they returned, even to their girlfriends and sisters. This morning, Kat and I overheard a conversation. Jason, the first red ranger, was talking to someone, most likely Andros Kervo, the red Space ranger, about a red ranger mission to the moon. Before he left, he told us his boss wanted him to go on a sudden business trip. It was only after talking about it to Ashley that we found out about the first mission. We want to make the guys understand that they can't leave us out of things or lie to us. We also want to help them. They have gone to defeat Areso and Discorda. There is no known way to defeat them. The boys will need help. We may even need to call in the guys we left, but I'm not sure. Now, we should all go get some sleep. We should catch up to the boys by mid morning. Oh, before I forget, Kendrix Morgan, the first pink Lost Galaxy ranger, Maya Rinori, the yellow Lost Galaxy ranger, and Karone Kervo, the second pink Lost Galaxy ranger will be here by morning. Have a good night," Kimberly said. Then she left the room, leaving the others to talk amongst themselves.
"You know why she's acting so weird and anti-social," Trini said quietly, but not quietly enough, as everyone stopped talking to listen.
"You mean, she's not always like that? Why is she acting like that then?" Kira asked, confused. Trini, Kat, Aisha, and Tanya looked at each other nervously.
"Tommy," they answered together. Kira gave them a confused look.
"Dr. O? Why is he her problem? I thought you were all friends with him?"
"We were. The rest of us still are. Lets just say, they were much more than friends. Then, it ended badly. They haven't spoken since. This is the first time they'll see each other in about six years. Neither one has dated since. No matter how much we try, they're both too stubborn to talk. They're meant to be together. Anyone who saw them together will tell you that. We have our work cut out for us on this mission, since our other mission is to get her to explain," Kat explained.
"Explain what?" asked Dana.
"The letter," Aisha said simply. By now, almost everyone was confused. The four girls looked at each other and sighed. They'd have to start at the beginning.
"Originally, Jason, Billy, Zack, Kim, and myself were the rangers. After Tommy stopped being the evil green ranger, he joined us. His powers were limited, and he eventually lost them. Then he got the white ranger powers. They were so happy together. Then Jason, Zack, and I left for the Peace Conference in Switzerland. Aisha, Rocky, and Adam took our places," said Trini.
"Eventually Kat came. Rita had placed a spell on her, causing her to be evil. Kimberly was, and is, into gymnastics. Kat stole her power coin. That caused her to be very weak. Kat broke the spell and gave the coin back, but not before Kimberly fell of the balance beam and was taken to the hospital. Kim recovered and was asked to train for the Pan Globals in Florida. She accepted and gave her power coin to Kat," Aisha said, picking up the story after Trini.
"It was very hard for them to keep in contact. Soon, we got the Zeo powers. We were all at the Youth Center when Ernie handed Tommy a letter from Kimberly. He asked Adam to read it to him, since he was still working out. It was a breakup letter. She said she loved him like a brother and she had found someone else. He was heartbroken," Kat explained.
"She and Jason came back, but they were captured by Divatox. Eventually, we saved them. Tommy wanted to talk to her, but he found out she left. Jason said she had been going to explain the letter, but she lost her nerve. She never has mentioned the whole reason behind the letter," explained Tanya. Then the four girls left, giving the others a chance to soak in what was said. Shortly, everyone went to their rooms to rest before the confrontation the next day.
