Chapter 6: The Letter and More
Jason's Basement
Tommy waited for her to finish chewing before he spoke. "Who was the other guy?" She was shocked by all the pain in his eyes and voice.
"There was no other guy. I made him up. I figured the only way you wouldn't come to Florida was if I hurt you. I'm sorry for all the pain I caused you. I cried the whole time I was writing the letter. It broke my heart to think of the pain I was going to cause you."
"No guy? Then what was the letter for? Why did you write it?"
"Every time one of the others talked to me, they told me how well Kat was doing. How well she was fitting in. They also said that you were tired. That you had too many things to worry about. One day Kat called. She said you were exhausted. You had too many responsibilities. She asked me to break up with you. She said that I was the main thing you were worried about. She said she was afraid you would get hurt in a battle, and after what she said, so was I. If something had happened to you, I would be devastated. So I wrote you the letter. I knew the others would help you with your pain. Then, after you guys saved me and Jason, I saw that you seemed happy. It wasn't hard to figure out that you and Kat were dating. That's why I just left. You seemed happy and I didn't want to mess that up."
"Kat asked you to? I can't believe she did that. She had been flirting with me since you left, but I said that we were still together. I was heartbroken after the letter. Kat spent more time with me and we started dating. I was trying to replace you, but I knew it was impossible. You were the love of my life, my soulmate. I never stopped loving you. I acted happy so my parents and the others wouldn't worry about me. I've never loved anyone as much as I did you."
"I can't believe Kat did that. Tommy, I'm so sorry. I was only trying to protect you the only way I thought I could. I tried to replace you too, but it was impossible. You were my soulmate and the love of my life. I compared every guy to you. I never stopped loving you. The longest relationship I've had lasted about two months. I just wanted company. I haven't even been on a date in four years. My last relationship ended badly. The guy got mad because I wouldn't sleep with him. He tried to force me, but I managed to get back to my house. I got my stuff together and moved to Virginia. I've been there ever since. I was so scared. I had told him I was saving myself for marriage and he got mad. I was terrified another guy would try to force me, so I didn't date. The truth is, I don't think I'll ever get married. The only person I've ever seen myself married to, and ever will, is you." She smiled shyly at him and then went back to eating.
"You're the only person I ever have or ever will want to marry. I've never slept with anyone either. I always thought there was something special about waiting until your wedding night. Kim, do you think we can start over? We can take it slow. Start as friends, if you want." At that, she smiled at him. It was one of her big, beautiful smiles. The smile that had always made him forget that the world was going on around them. He'd missed that smile so much.
"I'd love to start over Tommy. But unless you want to, we don't have to start as friends. Tonight could be our first date. We could go on our second date tomorrow. The beginning of the reunion could be our third. I love you and I know I want to spend the rest of my life with you. I'm so sorry for hurting you, but thank you for forgiving me."
"You're welcome. When I see Kat tomorrow, I'm going to give her a piece of my mind. I guess we better get Jason to let us out of here if we want to go on our date."
"Jason, Trini let us out. We've made up. We want to go on our first date." The next thing they knew, they were being hugged so tight they though their heads would pop off.
"I'm so happy for you guys. Jason and I figured seven years was long enough for you to not talk. We decided to take drastic measures. Do you hate us?"
"Hate you! How could we hate you? If it wasn't for you, Tommy and I may have never talked. If we hadn't talked, we would be miserable for the rest of our lives. After what you've done, we're in your debt."
"Forget about it. We just want to see the two of you happy. You can just make us the godparents of your first kid. Now go out and have fun on your date. We'll see you at the reunion tomorrow." With that, Kimberly and Tommy found themselves out on the front porch and the door shut in their faces. They stared at the door in shock and then went off for their first date.
Jason's House: Later That Night
The four teens walked up to the door and rang the bell. When the door opened, they shoved Kira forward to introduce them. "Hi. We're Dr. O's guests. He gave us this address. Are you Jason?"
"Hi. Come on in. Yea, I'm Jason. This is my fiancé, Trini. Don't tell Tommy, but we know the five of you were the Dino Thunder rangers. He thinks we're all stupid, but every ranger knows. I'm sorry, but I don't know all your names."
"We won't tell. We never get to see him surprised. This will be fun. I'm Kira, this is my boyfriend Trent, this is Conner, and this is Ethan. It's nice to meet you both. We've seen a video of all the former rangers, so we know who you are. But how did you know who we are?" Trini stepped forward to explain.
"Well, for one thing, most rangers have a distinctive style of fighting. It's usually unique to a team. After the original team was gone, the new team, besides Tommy, had a different way of fighting. Tommy has stuck out and used the same fighting style on every team since the original. Being a ranger causes you to be close to the people on your team. You spend most of your time with them and only they know the most about you. Of course, now all the rangers are like one big team. By the way, it's comforting to know that the line of the yellow ranger has been upheld by you, Kira. You carried it well. All of you honored your colors well. Now why don't we al get some sleep. You'll have a busy day tomorrow, meeting your predecessors. And boys, Tommy will be in late tonight. Don't ask him where he's been and all of you leave him alone tomorrow. You'll find out why at the reunion. Good night." With that, they all went to their rooms to unpack and sleep while Trini and Kira went to do the same at Trini's house.
