Disclaimer: I don't own any of the character, Saban and Fox do, but if I do own them, I'll make sure they get better treatment.
Author's note: This is my first attempt on Power Rangers fanfic, and I really hope you guys can enjoy it. I'm really disgusted by how Saban treated most of the rangers actors and actresses, and I really hate it when Kimberly wrote Tommy that letter, I think they are meant to be together. Ok, I've been ranting too much, please read and review, thanks!
Unfinished Love
Everyone was happily dancing to the beat of Kira's song. 'Man, she is a talented singer.' Tommy thought. Then Kira's song ended and the other band took the stage, they were playing soft, slow music. The mood changes to romantic as the guys started dancing with their dates. Tommy went over to the bar and grabbed a seat, soon Trent joined him.
Kira stood near the punch table alone, clearly waiting for 'someone' to make his moves. Tommy nudged Trent and nodded his head towards Kira's direction. Trent just blushed and looked down.
"You're not gonna ask her to dance?" Tommy asked.
"I don't know how to," Trent replied.
Tommy rolled his eyes, "well, say, Kira, do you wanna dance?"
"I mean I know what to say, I'm just..just.." Trent trail off.
"Just doesn't know how to ask," Tommy finished it for him.
Trent nodded, "Yea, I'm afraid she'll say no,"
Tommy chuckled, "Well, counting the number of times she looked over here, I don't
think she'll say no,"
Trent's face lit up, "Really?"
"Positive," Tommy said.
Trent's smile widened, and then suddenly it disappeared, like someone wipe it off his face.
"What's wrong?"
"It's just, I, well, I'm scare, I'm scare that it won't work out, and she does not feel the way that I do and-"
Trent is cut off by Tommy, "There's always an and,"
"What?"
"You will always come up with a reason why you won't ask her out, and that's a symptom of being in love,"
"That's kinda deep, not sure if I can follow,"
Tommy chuckled again, "Well, it's kind of like a self defense,"
"Self-defense?"
"Yea, because you don't know if she feel the same way as you do, as she is all you can think about, all you see, and all you dream of during the night. Every moves of her will make you go into meltdown mode. The first thought on your mind when you wake up will be her, and the last thought when you're going to sleep will be her too, she's like everywhere to you. No matter how bad your day is seeing her just makes your day. And the thought of her will automatically brings a smile to your face,"
"Like the one on your face now?" Trent laughed
Tommy smiled, "Yea, and when that happen, you know you fell hard for this girl, and if that's the case, don't let go any opportunities to get her, to show her you really love her,"
Trent smiled, this time with more confidence, "I got it, thanks Dr O"
"No problem, go then,"
Trent started towards Kira's direction but stopped and turned back, "That's a personal experience huh?"
"Huh?" Tommy was confused at Trent's question.
"What you said, it's your own experience isn't it?"
Tommy nodded.
"Did you get her?"
Tommy smiled, "Yes, yes I did,"
Trent heard the strong focus tone on the did word and the sadness in his eyes, but before he could ask, Tommy told him to go ask Kira before the song is over and he went over to Kira.
A few seconds later, Tommy sees Trent leading Kira out to the dance floor, and the 2 of them looked so happy, their smiles almost reaching their ears. As he watched them, he thought of her. He remembered the first time he asked her to the dance, god, he is so damm nervous. He spent hours at home making sure he looked good, and therefore he is almost late to pick her up. That night was wonderful. Seeing her in that cute pink gown, he will never forget that, he thought they were gonna be forever, but he was wrong.
"No dates?" A voice startled him as he turned around, seeing Haley stood there.
"Apparently," Tommy replied.
"Well, same goes for me," Haley said, sitting down next to Tommy.
"Cheers for the dateless," Tommy joked, holding up his drink for a toast.
Haley just looked at him, with that look, that look that says spill it Tommy Oliver.
Tommy ignored her and downed his drink.
"Tommy, what's wrong?" Haley asked in concern.
"Nothing,"
"Tommy Oliver, don't nothing me, I know something is bothering you,"
Tommy remained silent and continued his drink.
Haley took his drink away and stared at him. Tommy ignored her and ordered a new one, and Haley took it away again. They stay there glaring at each other before Tommy rolled his eyes in annoyance and headed for the door.
Tommy keep walking, till he came to the gate, he is aware that Haley is following him. He stopped and turned around. He turned around so abruptly that Haley got a startled.
"I don't get it! I thought we were meant to be forever, that's what she make me feel! But no, only a few, a few months! And she ditch me for, for a random guy!" And she just ditch me in a letter! What is that? I don't deserve enough credit for her to tell me that in my face? Why! Why she did that! Why?" Tommy shouted.
Haley walked over and placed her hand on his shoulder, "Why didn't you ask her then?"
Tommy looked up, suddenly at loss what to say, why didn't he ask her then, why he just let her go? But he is not gonna admit his mistake to Haley, "Because obviously she told me everything I need to know in the letter, there's this guy, she like him enough to ditch me for,"
"Are you sure?"
"Yea, I have the letter,"
"I don't mean that, I mean are you sure that's the reason you didn't ask her,"
Tommy hesitated, "Yes,"
Haley didn't reply, just stood there staring at him with that look again.
Tommy sighed, "No,"
"Why didn't you ask her?"
"I was scare, and I don't think I can bear breaking down in front of her," Tommy admitted.
"Tommy,"
Tommy cut in, "Well, that's the past, I made a choice not to ask, and well, I'll leave with my choice, I gotta go,"
Haley could sense that he is hiding his pain, "If you want company-"
Tommy waved his hands, "I'll be fine,"
"You sure?"
"Just want to be alone," with that, he started walking to his jeep.
Haley stood there, watching him fade away in the shadows of the night. "He okay?" Kira asked. Haley turned around to see the gang there, Ethan walked up, he seems pretty, well you know,"
"Depress? What, too emotion for your computer brains to understand?" Connor teased.
"Connor, back off," Kira chided, and Connor put his hands up to show that he's joking.
"It's about a girl huh?" Trent asked.
"What girl?" Connor asked.
"A girl that took his heart away, till now," Haley said
"And broke it," Trent concluded.
The other three rangers looked at him as if he grew another head.
"What?"
"How you know?"
"Well, from the talk he gave me, and don't even think of asking what talk he gave me, because my lips are sealed about that,"
The other 3 sighed dramatically.
"Let's go in," Haley said.
"What? Why not keep him company?" Connor asked.
"He wants to be alone, let's respect that," Haley said and everyone nodded and went back in.
Tommy is driving his jeep, clearly still couldn't get her off his mind, and that angers him, she ditch him, moves on to other guy, why can't he do the same? He is so engrossed in his thought he never noticed a kid picking up his ball in the middle of the road, he hit the brake pedal as hard as he could, but it seems like not enough to stop the car in time, just when the car was about to hit the kid, someone flipped from the right side of the road and grabbed the kid to safety.
Tommy stopped his car and ran over to the kid, "Are you okay? I'm sorry," "I think he's fine," the stranger replied. "Yea, thanks to you, that's an awesome move," "I did gymnastic…." The stranger turned around and trailed off. Tommy looked as shocked as the stranger.
Finally he managed a word, or rather a name, "Kimberly,"
