A/N: Thank you to all my faithful readers, this story is just about over. This "chapter" is basically a filler before we end the story. The backdrop is Kimberly's relationship with the green ranger through Jason's and Kimberly's eyes. Each section will be specific on who's talking that way the readers don't get confused. Again, I don't own Power Rangers and I don't write this story for profit. It is just for fun. I hope you enjoy this chapter and hopefully it will set the scene for the next upcoming chapters. Read and review, please. :)
Intermission Chapter
~Jason's POV~
I looked at my watch: 11:50pm stared back at me in angry red numbers. I sighed and rolled over, staring at my door, Kimberly should have been here long before this… I hope she's okay. It has been a month since Zordon chose us to fight the evil sorceress Rita Repulsa. It felt so strange to be super heroes fighting evil from taking over the Earth and my best friend, Zack, made it clear Kimberly liked me, to which I was thankful that she accepted my date a year ago. Now, it's as if Kimberly doesn't want anything to do with me anymore. Ever since the new guy showed up, and she showed interest in him, I've been placed on the back burner. Tommy taking up most of Kimberly's time now. That Tommy, always taking her time. I growled softly, jealousy taking over my being, when a soft knock broke me out of my thought process, "Come in." Kimberly. My breath hitched, her hair was a mess and her face looked pink and rosy. I gulped thickly, my mouth going dry as my eyes wandered over her form.
"Can I come in?" She asked me after a few seconds of me staring at her.
I blushed, "Um, s-sure." I slid to give her room on my bed, she looked like she needed to talk about something.
"Jason? I'm sorry about our date, again. I was helping Tommy catch up on some homework, plus Ms. Appleby put us together for a science project." Tommy again. I nodded slowly and noticed Kimberly chewing her bottom lip. "Jason? I… I think we need to see other people. I've done some things I'm not proud of and I want you to know, I do love you, Jase, but I feel more for him than for you." Again, I nodded my head.
"Did you fuck him?"
She stared at me, "W-What?"
"Did. You. Fuck. Him?" Her silence was all I needed, I stood up and pointed at the door, "Get out."
"Jason…"
"GET OUT!" I knew yelling at her wasn't the answer, but I couldn't stomach seeing her, let alone hearing her voice for the rest of the night. And to think, I was going to give her my virginity. I'm glad I didn't. I sighed when she still hadn't moved from the bed. I roughly grabbed her arm and pushed her out the door, closing it and locking it behind me.
~Kimberly's POV~
I sat dumbfounded outside of Jason's room. Choking back sobs as I left the house. Immediately I ran over to Tommy's house. I knocked softly on the door, his mother opening and welcoming me into the house, "I-I-Is Tommy h-h-here?" I stuttered through sobs.
"Yes, of course, Tommy! Kimberly's here!" I heard footsteps from the basement and there he stood shirtless.
"Kimberly, what's wrong?" I shook my head and he picked me up and carried me to his room, shutting the door and placing me on his bed. He looked at me, my tears rolling down like a waterfall, "What happened?"
"J-J-J…"
"Jason?"
I nodded and bit my lip as another wave of tears started to fall. He sighed and held me close to him, "H-H-H-He b-b-b-b."
"Broke?" I nodded again as another sob escaped my lips. Finally, he put the pieces together, "That piece of shit broke up with you?" I nodded for what seemed like the thousandth time. I heard him curse under his breath and pull me closer to him. "Did he ask if you slept with me? Is that why he broke up with you?" I nodded, again, and he cursed even more. I bit my lip again as another wave threatened. Why are you even crying over Jason, Kimberly? It's not like you didn't know or expect the breakup. A blush started to creep up my neck as I contemplated the words. And just as soon as they came… the tears dried up.
"Tommy?"
"Yes, Kimberly?" I wrapped my arms around him and pulled his face to mine before I kissed him tentatively, a jolt of electricity coursing through my veins as our lips just barely touched. I knew right then that Tommy had something that Jason never had with me… sparks. This time, he kissed me, our tongues dueling for the upper hand before I broke the kiss, needing air. He pulled back slightly and looked at me and smiled. "I'll give you a week and a half to recover from Jason, then you're mine." I shivered deliciously from his possessive words and nodded, biting my lip.
~Jason's POV~
I couldn't believe how quickly Kimberly jumped from me to Tommy, I guess she didn't need that much recovery time. I, on the other hand, had to give my heart about a month to recover before Trini and I started dating. She knew I still felt for Kimberly, but she also had something that Kimberly didn't... sparks. I finally gave up my virginity to Trini after much preparation and coaxing, but it was one of the best experiences of my life. And I know, beyond a shadow of a doubt, that she enjoyed it. Summer break's upon us. As far as I knew, Tommy and Kimberly were at his uncle's lakeside cabin by themselves for a week. Trini and I were headed to the mountains to get some skiing and snowboarding in. We arrived at the cabin a little later than we would have liked. Trini's mom wanted to make sure she had everything she needed before we headed out, putting us a half-hour behind schedule. I smiled, and since I wasn't a power ranger anymore, no one was going to ruin this week. After we got to the mountains, checked in and unpacked our bags and headed to the lodge for some lunch. We ate and then headed back to our cabin to change into our skiing clothes. Just as we reached the top of the mountain to ski down, Trini's 6 tone communicator sounded off. I groaned inwardly and Trini gave me an apologetic smile, since we were the only ones at the top for the moment, she teleported to the command center from there. I ended up skiing down the mountain by myself and waited until I got back into the cabin before I let my frustrations be known. It took her a few hours, but when she came back, she gave me the biggest smile I'd ever seen. There were three new additions to the power rangers: Rocky, to take over my place, Aiesha, to take over Trini's, and Adam, to take over Zack's place. I was dumbfounded. The reason Trini was called there was to do a power transfer. She was no longer a power ranger and that excited me.
