Nick and Joseph came over to where the teens were standing. Jason and Tommy were standing in front of Kimberly who is still holding her wrist into her stomach.
"Shouldn't you 3 be in school?" Nick asked angrily wondering why they are here instead of in school.
"You are absolutely right; we will head on back to school." Kimberly said.
Tommy and Jason looked at each other and then at Kim who was getting ready to bolt.
"Kimberly, don't." Tommy said.
"What is going on here?" Joseph asked.
"Kimberly, tell them." Jason said
"Tell us what?" Nick ordered.
Kim rolled her eyes and took a deep breath, "I hurt my wrist just a little." She said downplaying the injury.
Tommy and Jason stepped aside, so that their fathers could have access to Kim. Nick pulled her arm away from her body.
"Only a little? It appears to be broken." Nick said.
Joseph was also staring at Kimberly's wrist. It was swollen and badly bruised.
"We need to get it x-rayed." Joseph said.
Kimberly avoiding looking at the adults, she was just looking down at her wrist which was in Joseph's hands.
"Boys, sit!" Nick ordered Jason and Tommy. They did as they were told.
"Watch them!" Joseph commanded to the receptionist pointing to the two teenage boys.
Joseph and Nick took Kimberly in to have her wrist x-rayed. Joseph went over the x-rays while Nick put her wrist in a cast and then put her arm in a sling to let it rest. Kimberly just sat on the table, they had asked her how it happened and she said nothing.
Tommy and Jason are waiting in the waiting room. The receptionist is watching them like a hawk. Jason's mother Lacey comes running up and gave her son a hug.
"Mom, what are you doing here?" Jason asked.
"Your father called me, something about Kimberly having a broken wrist. How did it happen?" She asked.
Jason gulped and gave her a fake smile. She is a lawyer and occasionally interrogates her kids as if they were on the stand.
"I wasn't there when it happened, so I really don't know what happened." Jason said lying.
"Yeah, somehow I don't believe that. We will discuss it tonight. Right now I am going to check on Kimberly." Lacey said.
Tommy and Jason had stood up when they saw her coming. They looked at the receptionist who motioned them to sit. 10 minutes later Kimberly emerged with the adults. Tommy and Jason ran over to her.
"You kids should be getting back to school." Lacey said.
The teens nodded and started to leave.
"Be home in time for dinner." Joseph called after them.
"So Dr. Oliver, how long do I have to wear this cast?" Kimberly asked.
"Oh, I'd say 8-12 weeks maybe a little more." He replied.
The boys were shocked, but not as shocked as Kimberly.
"8-12 weeks! What about my gymnastics?" Kimberly asked.
"You won't be doing gymnastics while it's broken." Joseph told her.
"What about my competition this weekend?" Kim said.
"Oh that easy, you won't be going. NO gymnastics until it heals, do I make myself clear." Lacey said.
Kimberly held her head and nodded.
As they started their walk back to school, Tommy and Jason tried to cheer her up.
"Beautiful, I am sorry about the competition." Tommy told her.
"Don't be, because I am still going." Kimberly replied.
Tommy and Jason just looked at her. She was told no, they heard Lacey tell her no.
"Kimberly didn't you hear what mom said." Jason asked.
"I heard, but I am still going anyway." Kimberly smiled.
"How are you going to manage gymnastics with a broken wrist?" Tommy asked.
"I will change the routine a bit, but I will manage." Kimberly told them.
"Yeah that will work real well, until you get caught that is." Jason said.
Kimberly just looked at them and smiled. She has no intentions of getting caught by Lacey and Joseph. She also knows that she needs her friends as a cover story but doesn't want to get them in trouble. Kimberly looked down at her arm in the sling and something occurred to her.
"Guys will I still be able to be a Ranger with a broken wrist. Am I still able to morph?" Kim said.
Tommy and Jason hadn't even considered that part about it. All 3 teens teleported to the Command Center, so that they can talk to Zordon about how Kim's injury will affect the Team.
"Zordon, Kimberly has a broken wrist. Will she still be able to Morph?" Jason asked.
"IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM. THE POWERS WILL PROTECT HER WHILE MORPHED. THE ONLY PROBLEM IS GOING TO BE THE PUTTY BATTLES WHEN SHE ISN'T MORPHED." He replied.
"So you can still be a Ranger that's good. We will keep an eye on you during the putty battles so that you don't get hurt more. I am not going to let anyone hurt you again. Not Bulk and certainly not Rita." Tommy said holding her.
Kim smiled at him, now all she had to do was find a way to get to the competition this weekend. They left the Command Center and went to the Youth Center, since school was now officially out. Trini, Zack and Billy were sitting at the bar talking with Ernie.
"Kim, how are you?" Ernie asked.
"Okay, I guess. It is just a broken wrist." Kim told him.
Jason and Tommy filled the other 3 in on Kimberly's plan to still compete in the competition.
"By the way, we are keeping it a secret of how her wrist got broken. No one but us will know that Bulk was the one that broke her wrist." Jason said.
"Jase, but why?" Zack asked.
"It's the way I want it." Kim said.
