Forgive Me

By: Luna Ace

Summery: Years after the infamous Dear John Letter Kimberly Ann Hart calls Thomas Oliver and asks him to met in Angel Grove's Park. Can a relationship ten years old be salvage?

Kimberly Ann Hart had it all. She had everything she ever wanted –including good looks and good friends. Yet, she always knew she lost her chance at love a long time ago. Ten years ago, in fact. And, she all but tried to fix it. She tried to summon her courage, but it failed. Hot tears fell from her brown eyes as she began to run from her past.

Memories had surface when she had called him. Some of them where good memories-- like when Jason asked Tommy to join the Power Rangers. She had been glad they were able to break the spell, because she liked him. And, she knew Jason, Billy, and Zack would have convince her he was evil-- that they would never work.

But, they had fought to save him. She had fought to save him. She needed him. She knew that. She always known that. And, once he was on their side Tommy aka the green power ranger had helped them immensely before losing his powers... for good.

She also remembered the bad memories as well. The Letter was on her mind all the time. Plus, all those times Lord Zedd decided to ruin their lives for the hell of it. And, she knew when Lord Zedd attempted to kidnap her – and eventually succeeding- that he wanted to get rid of Rita's own mistake: Tommy.

Now, after all these years she wished she could tell-- and she did. The last ounce of courage leaving her as he had held her. She was afraid of what he would say. So she ran with the worth of ten years of pain in her heart. The pain that was started by one piece of paper over a decade ago.

She was sitting in a small dorm inside the gymnastic training facility in Florida one night. She had just finished addressing an envelope to Tommy. Tears weld into her eyes and she tried to forget the pain in her heart. She knew this letter would cause them so much grief. She knew doing this would end a perfect relationship.

Can you forgive me again?
I don't know what I said
But I didn't mean to hurt you

Minutes later, Kim felt another presence in the room. She looked behind her and realized it was an African American woman in her early twenties. Kim still couldn't get over the resemblance that she looked like Aisha Campbell. One of Kim's friends from her old life.

Aisha Campbell was also African American. She was very optimistic, and full of life. She was loving, and spirited. Kim considered Aisha her best girl friend-- besides Trini, of course. However, as it turned out Aisha was chosen to take over the yellow ranger's place when Jason, Zack and Trini were chosen for the Peace Conference in Switzerland. But, Kim never saw Aisha like that. She never would, and never will. All Kim really saw in Aisha was someone that had believed in her dreams. Kim smiled as she turned her chair around.

"Hey Amber what you got there?" Kim asked, noticing the African American who wore a purple sun dress holding a package behind her back.

"It's nothing. You okay? You seem like your crying." Amber said putting the package on her bed.

"Yeah. Want to go to dinner? I know we're not allowed out this late, but I really could use the fresh air." Kim said, trying to cheer up.

"Um, sure. Let me just..."

"I hate you Amber!" Kim cried as she finally found her pink convertible. She begun fiddling with her keys for minute before someone grabbed her arm. Kim was alerted, and twisted her body around who she thought was a stranger.

I heard the words come out
I felt that I would die
It hurt so much to hurt you

"Hey! Whoa Kim! That actually hurts. Never anger the former pink power ranger," he said, muttering the last part to himself.

Kim looked up and froze. She expected this. He had followed her. But she wish he didn't. What was she suppose to say? I love you? No, life never worked that way. Life was cruel. To her. To them. They spent ten years apart. And, she had moved on with her life. Her life. And, she desperately wanted him in her life.

"Sorry.." she whispered and freed herself.

"You can't expect me to let you get away again." he said seriously.

She didn't say a word. All she did was lean on her convertible, and stared off into space.

"Kim?"

Then you look at me
You're not shouting anymore
You're silently broken

I'd give anything now
to kill those words for you

The courage she had moments ago had left her. She reminded herself of that before he had spoke. She didn't respond, and then didn't realize he had move till her small, petite body was trapped under his. His arms pushing against the convertibles windows.

"I guess not. I'm sorry I should of told you sooner. Like ten years ago." she told him. Her voice didn't show any emotion.

He chuckled softly.

"I was so sure I never see you again, Kim."

"Life's full of surprises, isn't it?" she asked.

Each time I say something I regret I cry "I don't want to lose you."
But somehow I know that you will never leave me, yeah.

'Cause you were made for me
Somehow I'll make you see
How happy you make me

"Why did you wait ten years Kim?" he asked curiously.

He back away from her now. Suddenly, hew felt heart broken. Did he really want to know this? Sure, he had gotten over this. And, he could deal with it. But talking to her had opened up the old wound. And, he realized now, as he did back then (when he first read The Letter) that he had to fulfill his own promise. If she had come back into his life, he would not let her go. Even if he was married. They could still remain friends? Couldn't they?

She felt him retreating. She watched him as thoughts formed into her mind. Thoughts that had told her when she made the date it was a bad idea. To, her it still was.

"Jase told me to talk to you, but I couldn't. I thought--"

"I would be married?" she asked bitterly finding her voice. She then raised her right hand as if to prove that she didn't have a wedding band warped around her ring finger.

But all that did was give him hope.

And, an awkward silence fell between the two. Kim began to wondered if he was married. Just then Tommy's communicator went off.

Not now, as he mouthed a "Sorry". And, then vanished in black light. Leaving, Kim to wonder what was going on.

I can't live this life
Without you by my side
I need you to survive

So stay with me
You look in my eyes and I'm screaming inside that I'm sorry.

Hours passed, and Tommy had reappeared at the park. The same park he had met Kim at earlier. By, the time he was back he had cursed his luck. But then of course Mesogog didn't have the curtsy to call to warn any of the Dino rangers that he would be attacking. He chuckled.

No enemy had heard of a telephone. If he could he would of be glad to teach Mesogog, Rita and even Lord Zedd how to use it.

Shaking his head, he remembered why he was here. Kim, had called him, and explained the letter. And, yet she was now no where to be found. He knew she was still here, because he spotted her convertible. Maybe she was by the lake.

Oh boy, he thought as he took off sprinting towards the lake. He knew two things: he long since forgave her, and he wanted them to try again. But, he knew that first thing was first, he needed to convince her that they could work it out.

And you forgive me again
You're my one true friend
And I never meant to hurt you
