Chapter Eight-Lost and Found
"I swear, that is me and my fiancé, my best friend Trini Kwan took that picture of us yesterday." Kim said.
"That's impossible." Ann argued. "That is a picture of my parents that was taken before me and my brother were born. That picture is at least seventeen years old."
"No. That is not possible. I know that is me. Look at my left pocket, there is a bump there. My cell phone was in my pocket. If you look under the frame, I am wearing pink and white tennis shoes."
Ann looked. The woman in the picture was wearing pink and white tennis shoes.
"But, that is impossible." Ann said again.
"Ann, this is gonna sound like a really weird question." Kim said. "But um, do you think you could tell me what year it is?"
"2020." Ann said.
"Now that is impossible. I swear it is 2004."
"I would know if it was 2004." Ann said. "I was born in 2004."
Kim stared at Ann. "Great. Now I'm lost in the time stream, not just the state of California."
"I'm lost in the state of Confusion." Ann said.
"Another question for you Ann, what is your full name, and what are your parents names?"
"My full name is Ann Trinity Oliver. It used to be Oliver-Hart. Before my mom and dad got married. They couldn't because my mom was in that coma. My mom's name was Kimberly Hart, before she married my dad, Tommy Oliver."
"Great, just great." Kim said, falling onto the couch. "I am Kimberly Hart. My fiancé's name is Tommy Oliver. And I swear, it's 2004. And just for the record, I'm not in any coma's. And I don't have any children."
"So, I guess that makes you my mother." Ann said, slowly digesting the information she had just been given.
"Don't you dare call me 'mom'." Kim said warningly.
"Don't worry, I wasn't planning on it. However much you look like my mom, it would be kinda weird."
"I think it's kinda weird that I have a sixteen-year old daughter. And didn't you say something about a twin brother?"
"Yep. His name is David."
"Tommy's brother's name is David."
"Yeah, he was named after Uncle David. And the triplet's were named after Uncle Jason, Uncle Zack, and Uncle Billy."
"The triplet's?"
"Oh, I forgot to mention them. I have three younger brother's too."
"How old are they?" Kim asked
"They turned twelve last month. The day me, David, Jason, Ted, Kimmie, and Kaylie got our powers."
"Who are all these people? And isn't Jason a little young to be a power ranger?"
"I don't know. But Ted is Aunt Tanya and Uncle Adam's adopted son. He's sixteen like David and me. Kimmie is Uncle Billy and Aunt Trini's daughter. They named her after, well, you, I guess. And Kaylie is Aunt Kat and Uncle Jason's daughter. Kimmie and Kaylie are both twelve too."
"I am so lost. Tanya and Adam are only going out right now. Billy lives on Aquitar. Trini lives in I think its San Francisco. And as for Kat, I don't know when the last time was that she even came to the US. She studies ballet in London." Kim said.
"Well, Adam and Tanya got engaged in 2004. And they got married a little while after I was born. Billy and Trini got married three days after you came home from the hospital. And Kat and Jason got married while you were in the hospital."
"I beg to differ." Jason said, walking into the living room. "I have never been married before in my life. I think that I would know if I had been. Oh, hey mom."
"Shut up Jason." Ann said. Kim just stared at him. "You weren't even the person we were talking about. We were talking about Uncle Jason and Aunt Kat."
"Oh."
"And that isn't mom. Well, she is mom. But not the mom you think she is. Her name is Kimberly Hart, and she came from 2004."
"2004?" Jason asked, his eyes going wide.
"Yeah. By the way Kim, this is my brother, Jason."
"Nice to meet you Jason." Kim said. "Although, I guess we've met before?"
"Yeah, we have." Jason said. "Um, if you're from 2004, what are you doing in 2020?"
"I have no idea. I was practicing on the balance beam, in my studio in Angel Grove. I slipped, and I started falling, but I landed in the woods behind your house. It was pretty weird."
"I bet."
Just then, the doorbell rang.
"I'll go see who it is." Ann said quickly. "I don't want mom and dad to wake up."
"It's too late for that." Jason said. "Mom was already up. And I think she is going to answer the door now."
"Not if I beat her to it." Ann said, running through the room to reach the front door before her mother. "Oh, hi mom."
"Hi sweetie. So, are you going to open the door?" Kimberly said to her daughter. "You have your hand on the door, and the doorbell just rang."
"Oh, yeah." Ann said, turning the doorknob, while still facing her mother. But she turned around when she heard the voice behind her.
"Kimberly Ann! Finally!"
"What?" Mother and daughter shouted at the same time.
"Mom?" Kimberly asked weakly. "What are you doing here? And how did you find me?"
"And who are you?" Ann asked, she had never met her grandmother before.
"Darling." The former Mrs. Hart said. "It was kind of obvious. Hart Gymnastics Studio? You didn't expect me to find you?"
"I thought I told you to stay away, and never contact me again."
"You couldn't possibly expect me to do that. After I left you, I realized I had done the wrong thing. You are my only daughter. I shouldn't have left you."
"Yet you still did. And I was fine without you."
"No, you weren't."
"Well, I have been fine for the past seventeen years without you. And we don't want to stop that streak now, do we?" Kimberly asked with venom in her voice.
Ann turned to her mother. "Who is that?"
"That, is my pathetic excuse for a mother. She abandoned me when she found out I was pregnant."
Ann's eyes went wide. This was her grandmother?
"And who are you darling?" Caroline Dumas asked.
"This, is my daughter, Ann." Kimberly said, putting her arms around her daughter. "I was pregnant with her when you left."
"How nice to meet you." Ann just stared at her. "I guess not then."
Just then, something fell in the living room. Kimberly turned around.
"Jason, what are you doing?"
"Jason?" Mrs. Dumas said. "I though you were going out with that horrid Oliver boy."
"I was." Kimberly said, glaring at her mother. "Now, I am married to him. Jason I my son."
"Your son? You have a brother?" That question was directed at Ann, who shook her head.
"No, I have four."
"Four? You have five children Kimberly?"
"Yes." Kimberly told her mother curtly. "And if you hadn't left, then maybe you could have met all of them. But now I am going to have to ask you to leave. And never come back. I thought I made it quite clear to you thirteen years ago that I never wanted to hear from you again."
"Fine. If you're going to be that way then I'll leave. You can be so selfish and immature sometimes Kimberly Ann Hart."
"No. I can't. Because, just so you know, it's Kimberly Ann Oliver. Now, goodbye mother." And Kimberly slammed the door in her mother's face.
"I'm sorry you had to see that Darling." Kimberly said to her daughter.
"That's ok. But why don't you like her?" Ann asked curiously.
"It's a long story. Why don't we go sit down and I'll tell you." Kimberly said, leading her daughter towards the living room.
"NO!" Ann said suddenly, her mother stared at her. "I mean no, the kitchen is much more comfortable."
"If you say so."
a/n-so, the very sudden and random appearance of caroline dumas wasn't really that random. at least i hope it didn't seem that random. it was the only way i could think of for one of the kids to get part of the story from eagle and dove. btw-next chapter is basically kimberly telling ann the story. and from now on, the kim from 2004 is kim, and the kim from 2020 is kimberly. hope that doesn't get too confusing.
