Kimberly walked into the youth center and noticed balloons, streamers, and decorations were all over the room. It looked like it had been deserted for hours. Looking down at her clothes, she noticed she was wearing the pink top and the denim skirt that she wore on the day of the party. Her clothes were still stained with red, punch, cake, and icing. "Tommy, are you okay?" she asked when she noticed he was deep in thought writing about something. "I thought you-"

"-no, I didn't leave," he answered looking up from a letter he finished writing. "I needed time to think about a letter I am writing to put with your engagement...I mean with a gift I got for you. If you don't want it now, I understand. I didn't mean to knock-"

"-Tommy," she interrupted taking a seat next to him. "I was thinking about how I acted and that you're more important to me than being in the-"

"-Kim, it was your dream-"

"-Tommy, please let me finish," she requested taking his hands in hers. "I realized that the one thing I was taking for granted was you. And I don't want to lose the most important person in my life."

He handed her a pink velvet box with a note laying underneath it.

Beautiful,

I know you were mad at me because Coach Schmidt overheard us talking about the Pan Global Games. But, I never intended on knocking you out of your dream. It was even heart breaking to watch you suffer over training so hard and that Coach changing his mind. It's true I didn't want, you to go and I didn't want to see you give it up. But, long before this fight between us broke out, I had planned to go with you. I gotten permission from Zordon to go with you and I could teleport back and forth when needed. I know that ever since your mother left for Paris, it's been hard on you. Especially since she adopted Amelia and went on about how great it was to have a prefect daughter. I hate that Pierre and Caroline gave into Amelia and won't see you anymore. I know you'll be angry, but I heard you on the phone the other night talking to Caroline and she hung up on you when Amelia came in and told her that she didn't want them having any contact with you. I realize that you've had so many loved ones walk out on you and your afraid of marriage. I want to change that and give you all you've ever wanted in life. I promise that I will never walk out on you.

Love always,

Tommy

Tears formed in her eyes as she read the letter. "Of course, I'll marry you," burst Kimberly watching Tommy slide the engagement ring on her finger. She pressed her lips against his and start to kiss him as hard as she could. While they were kissing, Tommy's eyes landed on a pair of lip prints on the table. Dawning on him that it was the Hooker's Lips, he knocked his glass of water on the table.

Finally, they broke apart for air. "Tommy, why'd you knock your glass over?" she questioned as she started to clean up his mess.

"I saw the Hooker's Lips on the table," he answered wiping the table down. "We've had enough drama from that pair of lips."


2 months later

Kimberly and Tommy were walking through the park hand in hand. "It's hard to believe that we've married for almost a month," Tommy smiled looking down at the gold rings on their fingers.

"At least we won't have Ms. Peterson and Ms. Kirk in our school anymore," Kimberly added as they walked through the park. "I'm glad they were fired after they tried to steal from Mr. Kaplan's office. Turns out that Ken Reynolds was posing as a Gunther Schmidt. I guess never really met him after all."

"At least Ken was arrested," Tommy said as they took a seat on the bench. An elder couple was walking down the path way with a man around his late 30's. He recognized them as Jamie and George who owned the good will store.

The young man walked over to Kimberly and shook her hand. "I've heard a lot about you, Kimberly Hart," started the man. "My name is Gunther Schmidt and I just moved to Angel Grove. I've opened a gymnastics facility and train people for the Pan Global Games. I've heard you've won a lot of gymnastics matches."

"Thank you," she smiled shaking his head. She draped her arm around Tommy as he put his arm around her waist. "This is my husband, Tommy Oliver. We just got married last month."

"The Tommy Oliver?!" gasped Gunther Schmidt as he started to shake hands with Tommy. "I've heard a lot about you from my uncle Martin Gunther Schmidt. He was the gymnastics coach at your previous school-"

"-Tommy, you did gymnastics!" Kimberly interrupted looking at Tommy with disbelief. "Why didn't you ever tell me?"

"I had gymnastics injury during a match when we went to state and I cost my team to lose the match," he confessed taking her hands in his. "After my injury, I never tried to gymnastics anymore, especially with the news all over school. So, I didn't achieve my dream of being in the Pan Global was back before I came to Angel Grove. I was secretly going to gym to take gymnastics classes outside of Angel Grove. I just never joined a team."

"Mr. Oliver, at my gymnastics facility I also train married couples," revealed Gunther taking a seat next to them. "I competed in the Pan Global Games with my wife Sarah-"

"-meaning you were both competed on the same team?!" Tommy gasped raising a brow. He watched Kimberly's mouth drop with excitement. "Kim and I could train together and compete on the floor as a team?! "

"Yes, Mr. Oliver," replied Gunther. "But, if you are both interested, I will train you both. The games don't start until September, and we have enough time to train."

Tommy turned to face Kimberly. "Tommy, I'd be honored to have you compete by my side," she exulted as a tear ran down her face. "What do you say?"

"Of course, Beautiful," he smiled giving her a kiss on the cheek. "I've loved to live out my athletic dream with my beautiful wife."


September 1996

Athens Greece

After finishing the last round Kimberly and Tommy walked back to the bleachers with their other team mates. The whole team were dressed in matching leotards that looked like an American flag. "I can't help but think that we messed up on the last round," Kimberly sighed as she put on her navy warm up pants on. "I bet it will cost us points."

"Kim, what you expect me to do?" Tommy asked taking a sip of water. "The other boy threw you way too high and you went over the bars, when you should have grabbed them and done you gymnastics stunt. If I didn't run and catch you, you could have been seriously hurt-"

"-Tommy, is that how you got your gymnastics injury?" she whispered as he handed her their water bottle.

"It was," he answered putting his on warm up suit. "I was jumping from the uneven bar and instead of grabbing it, I missed it and I landed on the floor. I sprang my right knee and broke my left arm. I had to have some surgery on it and have physical therapy. I know I probably cost the team points, but my wife could have been injured. What did they expect? For me to just stand there and take that risk-"

"-I'm not angry," she reassured him. All the other team members were glaring at them with anger. "I know everyone else, but they live all over the united states. We won't see them again. They just came to Angel Grove to train for the Pan Global Games. We're done competing, why don't we go back to our hotel and take a bubble bath. It's only a five-minute walk."


Tommy rested his head on the rim of the tub after stretching out. He put his arm around Kimberly as she laid neck to him. "Hey, what are you doing?" she asked when Tommy started to mess with her hair.

"Just taking your hair out of the bun," he answered as he removed the hair pins and scrunchie from her hair. "I like your hair best when it's loose."

She sat up and reached behind his head and reached for his tight ponytail. She gently removed the scrunchie and his brown locks fell to his shoulders. "I like your hair best when it's loose too," she added as she turned on the portable radio sitting on the edge of the tub.

"Are you sure you want to listen to the results?" Tommy questioned as she put her arm around him. "Are you going to be disappointed if we-"

"-Tommy, I could never be mad at you for watching out for me," she assured him resting her head on his shoulder. "After the Hooker's Lips incident, I'm never taking your for granted again."

"Okay, we've got the results," said one of the judges. "We've reached our decision. The United States has place first with the mixed gymnastics team. They've earned 7 gold medals and 1 bronze medal. Coming in second is-"

Before they could hear anymore the radio fell of the rim of the tub and hit the floor and broke.

"At least we won," Tommy smiled as he shared along kiss with Kimberly after stepping out of the tub.

Her cell phone was ringing after receiving a text. "Aisha says they were watching the games on TV and they plan to have a party for us when we return," she stated as she slowly yawned. "It was nice of Kat and Jason to help us with our ranger duties while we were training."

"I couldn't agree with you more," he yawned as they dried off and crawled in bed.

"I love you," Kimberly smiled as Tommy gathered her in his arms.

"Beautiful, I love you too," Tommy purred planting a kiss as they fell asleep in each other's other arms.
