After being saved and winning the tournament, The Rangers, Kim and Jason are walking to their cars. They are talking and celebrating their win. Tommy has his arm around Kat who is talking to Tonya. Tommy looks over to his right where Kim is joking around with Rocky who is in a cast. Tommy watches as Kim is laughing so hard that she leans against Rocky who almost falls. Kim gasp and quickly studies him. Tommy chuckles under his breath making Kat turn to him. Jason smirks because he caught the whole scene.
Kat: what are you(smiles)laughing about?(this catches Tonya's and Justin's attention)
Tommy:(quickly)just thinking about Bulk and Skull(this catches everyone's attention including Rocky and Kim's attention)
Tonya:(confused)what about them?
Tommy: um I just didn't know they had a nice bone in their body(Kim now giggles catching everyone by surprise. Tommy smirks)
Kim: He's right! Bulk and Skull we're freaky weird(Tommy laughs and Jason joins)it was like the Twilight Zone. And their hair(dramatically)was the most surprising
Adam: Yeah Kim I have to agree with you(they stop in front of their cars. Jason walks over to Kim)I think this whole mission was freaky.
Justin: I thought it was cool!
Rocky: of course you did kid(Tommy lets go of Kat when he notices Kim's stare. Kim realizing she was staring turns to Justin with a smile)I can't believe she Shish Kebab you two(points to Kim and Jason)
Kat:(shocked)Rocky!(he looks at her)be a little more sensitive please
Jason: It's ok Kat(Kim nods and smiles at her)it's something that I am not going to tell my girlfriend though(looks at Kim)and neither….
Kim:(cuts him off)you know mum's the word(pokes him jokingly)speaking of Trini don't you have a date to get too?
Jason: Yeah(looks at his watch)we better go! Is Zordon teleporting you back?
Kim:(mumbles)no not yet! I'm going as a third wheel remember?(gives him a look and the Rangers look between them)
Jason: you're the best(kisses her cheek and Tommy clutches his fist slightly. He is jealous and angry of the friendship that they still have. He wishes he could have that too. At the battle he was so happy to see that something was still there. He saw that she still loved him, that she still cared. She even went out of her way to help save their friend and the aliens. Tommy knows he could never stop loving Kim and right then he wished she'd just hug him, apologize and stay forever)
Kim:(giggles)I know(Kat looks at Tommy and watches him look between Kim and Jason. Kat can almost see the wheels in Tommy's head turning and knows things need to be discussed)
Kat: um Kim(everyone looks at her)
Kim: yeah(steps forward)
Kat: Can I talk to you before you go?!(everyone looks between the Pink Rangers uncomfortably)It should only take a minute(Kim looks at Jason who shrugs, crosses his arms and leans against his truck)
Kim: Sure(looks at Kat with a smile)Kat! Come on(starts walking towards the building. Tommy grabs Kat's hand and she gives him a smirk)
Kat: It'll be ok(pulls away and catches up to Kim and everyone watches them walk away)
Justin: What is up with everyone?
Jason: Business kid(everyone looks at Jason)the two Pink Rangers need to handle some old business.(Tommy looks back nervously)
Kat and Kim are walking towards the building in silence. Kim plays with her hands and Kat holds herself. Kim looks at Kat and Kat looks down.
Kim: Kat(stops walking and Kat turns to her)what's up?(Kat stops walking and turns to face her)
Kat: um!(softly)you hurt Tommy
Kim:(mumbles)I know(Kat nods)I knew when I was writing it that I would hurt him
Kat: Why would you do that to him?
Kim: Katherine there were things in our relationship at the time that we were dealing with(crosses her arms)things that are still private.
Kat: like the long distance and other boyfriends?(Kim looks shocked)yeah Tommy told me!
Kim: Tommy told you wrong?(crosses her arms)don't come and try to check me Ms. Hillard(Kat now looks shocked)"WE", Tommy and I were going through much more stuff then you know. We went through more stuff than you could possibly understand.
Kat: Exactly my point!(angrily)how could you possibly break up with someone you've been through hell and back with? I mean yeah people fall apart but to drop him through a letter….
Kim: Don't you dare stand here and try to act like you understand. What we had and what we went through, you were never around us to know. Katherine you don't know me at all
Kat: That's my point Kimberly! I do not understand. He was sitting here for weeks depressed because his first love didn't want him anymore. I HAD to pick up the pieces because of your inconsideration
Kim:(spits)I bet you loved that
Kat:(shocked)excuse me
Kim: OH YOU HEARD ME!(everyone is now looking at the Pink Rangers both of them are red from anger)you where after him even when I lived in AG. Even after the spell was broken and I gave up my powers. You couldn't wait to sink your teeth in him(Kat's eyes get huge)you wanted my power and my boyfriend and now you have it. The reason why I broke up with Tommy was because of you
Kat: ME?!
Kim:(loudly)yes you!(softly)So how about you worry about the relationship with your boyfriend and stay out of the ex-relationship that I had with your man! Because we are over and again it is none of your business. The choices I made about my relationship is none of your business. And here on out I refuse to answer any questions about it because you are not owed ANYTHING FROM ME(Kim walks off in a huff. Kat stands there shocked)
The Rangers stand watching the scene unfold and Tommy goes to break it up. Someone grabs his arm and to his surprise it is Justin
Justin: I think you should let them fix it Tommy(Tommy looks at him and nods)
Tonya: I have never heard Kat yell like that
Jason: I have heard Kim yell like that(they look at her)she only yells when she is passionate or hurt about something(stands up)she'll come around(They watch as Kat sits on the bench and covers her face)
Tonya:(softly) I am going to go talk to her
Adam: no need…look(they see Kim come back and sit next to her. They watch as Kim sighs and takes one of Kat's hands making Kat look at her. Kim wipes Kat's tears away and they see Kat smile. They then lean against the bench. Tommy smiles at them)
Justin: Told you they'd fix it(Tommy ruffles his hair)
We go back to the bend and they look at each.
Kim:(softly)Kat I apologize(pauses) for trying to kill you today and for yelling at you(sighs)I know you were just trying to stand up for Tommy
Kat: No Kim you were right! I should've just minded my business. What you and Tommy had is you guys history. I shouldn't have interfered(silence hits them)I'm sorry too
Kim: I think from now on….we shouldn't let Tommy be a factor in our relationship(Kat nods)I had him and you have him now. I mean my time with him was great but I'm slowly moving on with someone else who treats me just as good. So Tommy should never be an issue between us understand?
Kat: I definitely understand….and I agree. Tommy should never be subject that can ruin our relationship(Kim nods)and I know he would never want to be nor would he want our friendship to break up(Kim nods in agreement)Kim we are both the "Heart" of our teams. Right now I feel like there is a separation between the teams. I feel like it's either team Kim or Kat
Kim: I feel the same way! How do you suppose we fix it?
Kat: I don't even know where to start(silence hits them)but I do know what to address(they look at each other again)Kim, Tommy and I didn't start dating until your break up(Kim sighs before smiling)I want you to know that neither of us would do that too you
Kim: I know Kat(Kat gives her a look)Honestly(shakes Kat's hand that she is holding)(softly)I know(Kat gives her a smile)and I also know that you are filling in the piece of his heart that is missing
Kat: What do you(pauses as she sees Kim's tears water)(shakes her head)Kimberly no
Kim: Its ok Kat(wipes a tear away before it rolls down her cheek)I understand. If someone is going to take the place in his heart where I once was…..I'm happy that it is you.
Kat: Kim I could never ever take your place in his heart. I mean yeah I can make my own place(Kim chuckles under her breath)but replace you never
Kim: I'm happy you think so positively(Kat goes to respond but Kim stops her)hey I figured out a way to help us all bond(Kat now smiles)
We go back to the Jason and Jason looks at his watch. He moans making everyone look at him.
Rocky:(laughs)what's wrong with you?(Jason looks at them)
Jason: I have a date with Trini and her parents
Adam:(smirks)your meeting the parents?
Jason: no I have met them already(shifts uncomfortably)
Tommy:(smiles)you're going to tell them your dating?(Jason simply nods)oh I wish I could be a fly on the wall for that one.
Jason: Shut up!
Kim: That(everyone turns and sees Kim and Kat standing behind them with their arms linked)is why I am going to be that fly for you guys(Kat laughs and Jason smiles)(to Jason)you ready?
Jason: Yeah we have just enough time not to be late(Kim turns to Kat)
Kim: I'll talk to you later
Kat: of course(they hug)bye Kim! See you soon
Kim: see you soon Kat(they pull away and see shocked faces)What?(everyone nods nothing)Justin(walks over to him and shakes his hand)thanks for saving my life today
Justin: No problem….thank you for helping us save the orphanage(Kim gawks and kisses his cheek making Justin smile. Tommy smirks and winks at him)
Kim: Tonya(walks over to her)I am SO-SO-SO-SO(Tonya gives her confused look)(quickly)so-so-so
Jason: Lay off Pink….
Kim: sorry about our first meeting. I never meant to chock you or try to harm you. I know everything about me makes me seem like a monster
Kat:(warning)Kimberly!(Tommy gives Kat a confused look and Kat gives him a smirk)
Kim:(sings)Right(clears her voice)It was truly nice to meet you and maybe next time we see each other it will be on positive terms(they shake hands)
Tonya: It was awesome meeting you Kimberly….and I am a hugger(Kim smiles and they hug each other)can't wait to see you again(they let go)
Kim: Like wise(turns to Adam and Rocky)boys
Rocky:(calls)Kim(she laughs and embraces both of them)
Kim: you be good(lets go of them)and take care of that leg
Kat: don't worry Kim….he's in good hands(Tonya gives her a look and nudges her knowing what she means. Kim nods and looks at the one person she is dreading to say goodbye to again)
Kim:(softly)Tommy(awkwardly walks over to him)it was good seeing you(plays with her hands)
Tommy:(smiles)it definitely was Kim!(Kim smiles)Thanks for coming back to help the Orphanage
Kim: No problem! I mean it's my duty as a friend and Ranger. You know once a Ranger always a Ranger
Tommy: Yeah. Um(awkwardly reaches out for her and she accepts the hug. It's awkward at first but then it becomes natural. Kim sighs and lays on his shoulder. Tommy also lays on her shoulder and closes his eyes…just taking in the moment)
Kim:(mumbles)I leave in a couple of days….I'll call you beforehand so we can talk. If that's ok?
Tommy:(softly)I'd love that
Kim:(softly)me too(pulls away from the hug and Tommy's eyes open to meet hers. Kim steps back with a smile)ok Jas(turns to him, walks over and hits his chest)let's get this over with(Jason unlocks the car and Kim climbs in)
Rocky:(calls)Call me and let me know if Jason bombs this(Jason glares at him)I want a full report(everyone laughs)
Kim:(calls laughing)you got it Rocky(yells)Jason come on Trini is going to kill you(slams the door)
Jason: I'll see you guys later! Congratulations on the Win and the new Zords(walks towards his door and opens it)they are awesome(Tommy puts his hands on his waist and shakes his head with a smirk)stay safe and may the power protect you
Rangers: thanks Jas(Jason climbs in and closes the door. They watch as Kim waves and Jason starts the car. They wave back as Jason drives off and disappears down the road. Tommy looks at Kat who is still smiling at the disappearing car)
Tommy: Kat(she looks at him)are you ok?
Kat: I'm wonderful Tommy(kisses his cheek)(to everyone)how about some grub?
Rocky: I could definitely eat
Adam:(blandly)of course you could(they laugh)
Kat: Ton rides with me….the guys with Tommy(the men look at each other and shrug)
Tommy: ok(nods)that's cool(Kat kisses his cheek making him smirk a little)
Kat: come on Ton(everyone goes their separate ways)(Calls)yellow mushroom(everyone nods and climbs in a car before driving off)
We go to Jason's car, Jason and Kim are sitting in silence. Jason looks at Kim and sees her eyes starting to water. Jason reaches in his side door and passes her some tissues. Without looking she takes them and wipes her eyes. Jason looks ahead and keeps driving. Soon he hears Kim crying. Jason puts on his blinkers and pulls over. Kim looks at him as he turns to her.
Jason: So we are going to be a little late. I rather we be late than you walking in there having a break down because I couldn't take a minute out to help you feel better(Kim smiles a little but the tears keep coming)Trini would kill me(Kim chuckles and then it turns back to crying)(softly)ok! Ok(pulls Kim over and holds her. Kim cries into his shirt)It's going to be alright(rubs her back)I got you(Kim keeps crying and Jason lays on her head)I was waiting for this wall to break!(stops rubbing her back)And now that it is broken we can fix it(Kim keeps crying)shhh!(looks at the time and rubs Kim's back again)(thinking)she is going to rip out my throat.
Tell me what you think Kim and Kat had the talk that I always wanted them to have. And it looks like everyone left on good terms. Next chapters are going to be a little graphic~RT
