Chapter 3 Did You Really Mean to Write it?
A few months after writing the letter to Tommy, Jason convinced Kim to come with him to visit all of the other Rangers. Kim agreed, but with a heavy heart. She really wanted to explain to Tommy the real reason for her writing the letter, but she did not know if she had it in her.
"Don't be so nervous, Kim," Jason said.
They were on their way to the Youth Center to meet everyone. It seemed like hours to Kim being on the road. Kim ended up with a silver medal at the Pan Global Games. After that, she had decided to just to stay in Florida.
"I can't help it," Kim said.
Jason slammed on the breaks as he spotted a cave.
"Jason," Kim yelled as she hit him over the head, "what's the matter with you? Do you want to kill the both of us?"
Jason looked over at Kim with his hand on his head where she had hit him.
"What the hell was that for, Kim?" he asked as he undid his seatbelt. "You know I wouldn't do anything to hurt my little sis."
"Yeah," she said as she got out of the car, "so, why did you stop in the first place?" Jason pointed to the cave. "Oh, good point."
They slowly made their way into the dark cave. Kim was glued to Jason's arm.
"Have you seen this cave before?" Jason asked.
Kim looked over at him and rolled her eyes.
"It's dark, gloomy, nasty, and you're asking me if I've seen this cave before," she smarted off. "Jason, you wouldn't catch me here alone if you gave me a million dollars. I haven't been in Angel Grove in about a year. Remember? Or don't you remember I've been living a lie in Florida?"
"What do you mean by that?" Jason asked in shock as he thought it had to do with Tommy. "Do you regret going to Florida, Kim?"
She let go of him and looked down.
"I don't want to talk about it, okay," Kim sighed.
She stormed in front of him. Jason lowered his eyebrows.
"If he would've just asked me to stay, I would have. Let's just say he's happy with Kat now," Kim cried.
"Kim," Jason said, grabbing her hand and pulling her back, "they've never gone out. I'm the one that's with her."
Kim then smiled and jumped into Jason's arms.
"My dream wasn't true then. Tommy and I still have a chance," she said.
Jason put Kim down and started to laugh as he walked in front of her.
"That has to be the funniest thing you have… aw…," he yelled. Jason fell in an opening that he did not see. Kim gasped and covered her mouth. "Kim!"
"Jason," she called out as she ran to him. Kim dropped down on both knees and grabbed his hand. "I can't pull you up." Suddenly, putties appeared. "Putties, but how?"
"This must have been one of Rita and Zedd's old caves," Jason moaned.
Kim was pulled back by the putties. She tried her best to get them off.
"Kim, call the others! I think your old communicator will still work," Jason yelled.
Alpha had ended up making Kat a new communicator so that Kim could keep hers.
"Guys, I can really need some help right about now," Kim yelled into her communicator. The other Rangers soon appeared. The putties had thrown Kim across the cave and passed out. Wouldn't you know? To Jason's surprise, Trini, Zack, Billy, and Aisha were also there. They ran to Kim's side. When she woke up, she saw Tommy trying to pull Jason back up, but he needed another person's help. "Tommy! Hang on, I'm with you!"
Kim then bent beside Tommy to help. Tommy gave her a 'what do you think you're doing' look.
"What's the deal with you, Kim?" he asked as him and her pulled Jason up. Kim fell back, pulling her hands behind her. "You send me that letter and now you're acting like it never happened."
Kim's eyes began to fill up will tears. She got up, but could not look at Tommy. What Tommy said was true. It had hurt Tommy extremely after getting the letter.
"Tommy", Kim said as the tears began rolling down her face, "you're right." She turned around the other way, crossing her arms. "I was stupid all right."
She fell to her knees and placed her face in her hands.
"Kim, I'm sorry," Tommy said, bending down and putting his hand on her shoulder.
His touch felt so warm, it always felt safe, even now.
"No, Tommy," Kim said. Kim finally looked up. "I need to tell you the real reason I wrote that letter."
He looked down at the ground, then back at Kim.
"We'll have time for that later. Aw man, Kimberly," Tommy said. Tommy had only called her by her full name when he meant what he said. "I've missed you."
"Tommy, I missed you too," Kim smiled.
Just like at the lake, Tommy took Kim's hand and softly kissed her. She was a little shocked, but was all right with it too. Kim never guessed that Tommy would take her back like that so easily.
"You know what, Kim?" Tommy laughed.
"What?" she asked.
"I missed that too," Tommy said. They hugged, and all is good again in the lives of two people who were truly meant to be together. "Everything's going to be fine."
The rest of the team joined Tommy and Kim, not morphed, as they were getting up.
"Are you two all right?" Jason asked.
"Yeah, we're fine," Tommy said, smiling at Kimberly.
"Couldn't be better," Kim smiled.
"I see you two made up," Aisha replied.
"I knew you two were meant to be together," Zack laughed.
"You guys can't live without each other," Billy smiled.
"Come on you guys," Trini said, looking back at her boyfriend, Billy, "let's get back to the Youth Center."
It was actually funny how the two of them ended up getting together. Trini, Jason, and Zack had just returned to the states. They were grabbing a cup of coffee when Billy walked into the little café. Things slowly started developing after that moment.
"All right, I'm so hungry," Rocky said.
"You're always hungry, Rocky," Adam laughed.

20 minutes later.
"So, Kim," Aisha said, "are you staying here for good this time?"
"You beat I am," she smiled.
Kim turned to Tommy and looked down.
"Kim, what's wrong?" Tommy asked.
"I don't have a place to stay tonight," she said.
"Stay with me," Tommy insisted.
Kim was shocked to hear those words come out of his mouth. They had not gotten back together yet, and she still had things to tell him.
"Tommy, are you sure, I mean… after the way I treated you?" Kim asked.
"Come on," he said, grabbing her hand, "let's go for a walk."
"All right," Kim sighed.
The rest giggled as Kim's head turned to them, biting her lip. Tommy loved Kim, Kim loved Tommy, and nothing was going to change that.
"I hope they can patch things up," Trini said.
"Are you kidding me?" Jason laughed. He threw his arm around Kat. She looked over at him and smiled. "The only reason why she wrote that letter was because she thought Tommy was interested in Kat. Plus, she said something about a dream. I think that's why she did it."
"You did tell her that we're together, right?" Kat asked.
"Yeah," Jason nodded.
"Kim and Tommy have been through worse," Zack added.
"I don't know about that," Rocky said. "Tommy was a mess after Kim lost her powers."
That was a day no one wanted to remember.
"And after the letter," Billy added, "none of us thought he would be the same. I think that's the worst thing Tommy has been through, besides losing his Green Ranger powers."

At the lake, Kim's head was down as Tommy was restraining himself from pulling her into his arms and making love to her.
"This place hasn't changed a bit," Kim said to herself.
Down where Tommy and Kim had shared many special moments, the two walked beside the clear lake.
"Kim," Tommy said, taking Kim's hand, "you know me better than anyone. You know how I feel about you." Tommy was right. Kim knew how Tommy felt after he lost his powers. She was the only one that understood him when he said you know I have to do this. Even though she tried to stop him from getting hurt, she knew in her heart that there was nothing she could do. "You knew my reasons without me telling them to you."
Kim now knew what she had to do.
"Tommy…" Kim sighed. She took a deep breath. "I… I love you."
"I love you too, Beautiful. You know that, right?" Tommy asked.
"Of course I do," Kim smiled.
"Let's get to my apartment, it's getting late," Tommy said.
Kim had not agreed to that yet.
"You got an apartment?" she asked.
"Yeah, I bought it when I started working for my uncle. Let's go," Tommy insisted.
"I don't know, Tommy," Kim hesitated.
Kim turned around and began to walk away.
"Who am I kidding? Kimberly, wait," Tommy called. Kim spun around and fell into Tommy's arms. "Come on, please."
"All right," Kim sighed.
Who was she to say no now?
