Disclaimers: Not again. Do we really have to go through it?
Notes: What's there to say? Review, I guess.

"Kim!"
Past Kim stepped forward and embraced her friends.
Future Kim looked at it all with a grin. "Know you see, that is a greeting. All I got was hello and a warning that I had absolutely no food left in my house."
"Aw, do you wanna hug?" Kira replied.
Future Kim rolled her eyes. "Don't patronize me, Kira. Remember that I can fail you."
"You wouldn't."
"Watch me."
"Okay, break it up you two." Jason stepped between the two of them. "I swear, you two are like five year olds."
"Am not."
"Bite me."
Conner shook his head. "Be nice, Kira."
Kira turned to him. "I am always nice."
"Don't you two start fighting, We just got Kim back." Ethan warned them.
Future Kim snorted. "Ethan, you know Kira and Conner can't go for more than five seconds without fighting with each other."
Kira bowed her head in embarrassment. "All right, we'll stop fighting."
"I agree to no such terms."
"Conner!" A chorus of four voices.
Conner just grinned.
Jason shook his head at their antics. "Conner. Cool it."
"Fine. Be that way."
Future Kim smirked. "And we're the five year-olds?"
Jason a glare her way. "Don't you have something else to do?"
"Trying to get rid of me already, are you?" Future Kim mocked.
"I've been trying to get rid of you for years." Jason replied.
"I missed you, too." Future Kim stood on her tip toes and placed a kiss on his cheek. She turned to look at the past teens, zeroing in on one in particular. "Now we had some unfinished business." Kim told her past self. She approached her past self and stopped in front of her. The adult Kim only towered by a few inches, but it was enough. Kim held out her hand to the past self.
The teenage Kim looked at the hand wearily. She still wasn't quite sure what to make of everything that had happen, but her future self was looking at her expectantly. Hesitantly, she took the adult's hand.
The adult Kim immediately started to glow at the contact and both of their eyes glazed over slightly. Two colors of pink swirled in the aura of adult Kim, a dark and a light shade. The light pink began to creep down the adult's hand and incased the teenage Kim's body, until it had completely left the adult's body. Then, as if struck by lightening, the two were forced apart and went crashing to the floor.
"Ow." It came from both of them.
Kira knelt beside her guardian. "You okay Kim?"
"Fine." Came the reply. Adult Kim looked over at her younger counterpart. "Oh. My. Gawd." She snorted.
"What?" The teenage Kim blinked up to find her adult self trying hard not to laugh.
"Nothing." She bit back another snicker. "It's just that," Snicker. "I never knew that I looked so..." She paused. "You know what. Never mind."
"What are you talking about?" The teen looked down at her self and let out a sort of shriek.
It was the pink ninjetti outfit.
"What am I wearing!" She asked the other
As Billy and Rocky exchanged a look, Aisha gave a sigh helped her to her feet. "Kim we need to talk."

Back at the palace on the moon, Rita and Zedd chased Mordant and Goldar around the room, blasting them with their staffs.
"What'd we do!" Goldar called, ducking behind the throne.
"It's not what you did, it's what you didn't do!" Zedd growled out.
Mordant whimpered and tried to hid behind Goldar, who pushed him away. "We tried to rescue you every chance we had!"
"Liars!" Rita yelled and took a swung at Goldar with her staff. A loud clang echoed through out the hall as he ducked out of the way. She pulled it back, accidentally smacking Mordant with it.
"Ouch!"
Rita spun around and zapped at Mordant. "Do you know what it's like to be stuck in a blizzard for two days!"
Mordant eeped. "...Cold?"
"Are you trying to be funny!" Zedd blasted at Mordant, singeing him.
"Hey, watch the hair!"

"Ay, yi, yi, yi ,yi! There is a disturbance in the park!" Alpha broke the slightly uncomfortable silence that befallen the command center.
Seven rangers turned simultaneously to the viewing globe, followed by three curious teenage rangers. The globe showed a creature very familiar to those from the future.
TimeZone.
Of course, the first thing out of Conner's mouth was, "That is so cool." He turned to Kim. "Can we get one?"
A snickering Jason caught a smack up side the head as Kim answered, "I'll think about it."
"Cool."
Kira shook her head. "Can we get back to the problem at hand?" She gestured to the viewing globe.
Rubbing his now sore head, Jason nodded. "Oh, yeah, TimeZone."
"I take it you two are acquainted?" Adam questioned them.
The adult Kim nodded. "He's the one who switched me and... myself, I guess."
"Right." Tommy looked between the adult and her teenage self. "Don't worry. We'll take care of this."
"I don't think..." Kim slammed her foot onto Conner's, effectively shutting him up. "Never mind."
Kim ignored the stunned looks she was being shot. "Have fun." Her voice was ultra cheery.
"Okay..." Rocky muttered.
Tommy just nodded. "Let's go."
Moments later they were gone in flashes of multi-colored light.
Ethan turned to Kim. "What was that about?" He raised an eyebrow.
"Let them have their fun and give their new powers a work-out." Kim shrugged. "If they have any trouble, we'll jump in."
-
Only moments later, Conner flinched as the rangers were flung back, via TimeZone. "Okay, I don't care who you are, that has to hurt."
Ethan nodded in agreement. "Yeah, you know, maybe we should give them a hand?"
"Yeah, Kim, he has a point." Jason grimaced as another shot was taken at the rangers.
"I guess, your right." Kim turned to Zordon. "You mind giving us a hand getting down there."
Zordon nodded. "Of course."
Moments later three teens and two adults disappeared in multicolored lights.

Angel Grove Park was placed directly in the middle of Angel Grove. Most of those who grew-up in Angel Grove could remember spending a good chuck of their childhood in the park. Unfortunately, as of late it seemed that because of the monster attacks most parents refused to let their kids come to the park. It was sad, but useful when actual attacks were occurring. Like the present moment.
With one good blow, TimeZone had managed to loss all the rangers a good thirty feet.
The six staggered to their feet, more than one holding various body parts.
"We can do this guys." Tommy said, his voice betraying his doubt.
Almost immediately, five streaks of colored light shot to the ground. Three of the five figures fell to the ground, one stayed up-right easily, and the last one stumbled a little.
"Ouch." A female figure stood up and the six realized that the figure was Kira. That made the other five Jason, Kim, Conner, and Ethan. The six ran over to join them.
"Get out of here." Rocky told them. They were only going to get hurt.
Conner shook his head. "I don't think so."
Adult Kim agreed with him. "Yeah. This is our fight Rocky, not yours."
"How are you going to fight it?" Tommy asked her. "You don't have the Ninjetti power anymore."
Kim just smirked. "Maybe not, but we have something close." She looked over her group. "You guys ready?"
She got various nods a grin from Jason, who replied with an, "Always."
"Dino Thunder, Power Up!" Five voices called out in unison.
There was a flash of light and in place of the three teenagers and two adults stood five rangers in different colors.
"Wha..." Was all that Tommy could say.
The teenage Kim just examined the outfit with interest. She had been wondering what they looked like since she had learned that her once future self was also a ranger. At least it was pink. That was more than she could say for Jason.
"Long story." Jason answered.
TimeZone looked vaguely bored. "Ahem..." They ignored the sound. He got annoyed and finally got their attention by shooting a beam out at them. All eleven of the rangers were thrown back and hit the ground with force.
"Okay, not a time to talk." Billy muttered, pulling himself to his feet.
"Come on guys. Let's get rid of him!" Tommy called out and prepared to rush at the creature, but was stopped by an arm that shot out in front of him.
"No." The adult Kim demanded of him. "This is our battle, not yours." She whispered to him. "You will only get hurt. The powers in your are still to new and you are weak from the battle with Ivan Ooze. Let us finish this."
Tommy looked uncertain and turned to his teammates. They gave him the confirming nod. "Alright. We'll go back to the command center. If you need us..." He trailed off.
She nodded in confirmation. "We'll call for you."
The Ninjetti rangers disappeared in flash of lights.
TimeZone let out a mocking laugh. "It seems as though you five have been abandoned. You should follow their lead an run as well."
"Not quite." Kira replied. "Ptera Grips!"
"Tyranno Staff!"
"Tricera Shield!"
"Brachio Staff!"
Kim smirked. "Stego Bow!"
Jason turned to the three teenagers. "We'll distract him. When I give you the signal, you hit him with the Z-Rex Blaster." Kim and Jason took off.
Ethan looked at the other two. "Let's put them together guys."
Moments later, came the signal. "Hit him guys."
The three shot at the creature. There was an explosion and the five were shocked to see that TimeZone was still there with a gaping wound on its chest. He growled at them and prepare to shoot at them again, but then seemed to reconsider. "This isn't over." Moments later, he was gone.
Conner laughed. "He ran. Coward."
Jason frowned. "Don't get to cocky. I don't think that we've seen the last of him."
Kim nodded. "Well, that's going to be a problem for another day." She paused. "We better get out of here before anyone see's us."
"Yeah."
-
"I guess this is time to say goodbye." The adult Kim stood before her past self. She and her team had already said their goodbyes and the team had left through the portal.
"I guess." The teen said. "Well this has certainly been interesting in the least."
"In the least." The adult grinned. The grin faded and a solemn look passed over her face. "Do me a favor?"
The teenager nodded.
Adult Kim looked at Tommy, who was watching them with interest. "Don't make the same mistakes as I did." She paused. Her next words were whispered. "Don't lose your heart. He loves you." She turned and headed to the portal.
"Kim!" Her teenage self called out. The adult turned to her. "What happened to Tommy? Your Tommy?" She knew what the out come was, but had no idea how it happened.
"I tried to protect him." The adult answered as her eyes welled up. "And now I don't know where he is." She finished her walk to the portal and was stopped as her voice once again called her name. The adult turned back, curiously.
"Just... be careful." Was all the advice that the teen could offer.
"Always."
The adult turned and was gone.
