Chapter 32: Love Is Simply Wonderful

Enjoy :P

That night

The girls went to their suites and put on their party dresses. They had to sneak out, since the coaches had them on strict curfew.

"This is so bad, if we get caught…"

"Shannon, stop worrying!"

"We are supposed to be resting up, in bed!" The cab pulled up to the location Blaine informed them.

"Okay, this is weird." Shannon watched as the guys were waiting outside a haunting looking mansion with red roses.

"Okay, what's going on?"

"Yeah, what is this place?" Shannon asked.

"A little party, come on inside sexy ladies."

"In a haunted house, how exactly is this supposed to help us?"

"You will see."

A party was set up inside the house. Kimberly led into the house by Blaine. She was dressed hot pink and black short tulle dress and pink strappy heels. All their friends were there, already hanging out and chatting when the ladies arrived. All the girls couldn't believe the decorations the guys went to for them to have fun tonight.

"The guests of honor have arrived!" The crowd clapped to the arrival of the women's team.

"Now, let's have a bit of fun before tomorrow night."

"Well…."

"Come on Shannon!"

"We got dip…."

"And caramel turtles." Shannon finally smiled.

"Agreed," Shannon said.

"Yeah!"

"Alright!"

"But we still have to be in bed by 11." All the girls groaned. DD caught a familiar face and smiled.

"Oh, whatever," DD said as Zack took her hand to dance. "I'm having fun tonight!"

"You go girl!" Kimberly hooted.

"Yeah!"

At around 11, Shannon was making a fuss about it being so late. But Blaine had another slight surprise. While the rest stayed and partied, Blaine, and John left with Kimberly, Shannon, and Kerri, the rest stayed to have a little more fun, especially DD with Zack.

"Blaine, what are we doing here?" Blaine was picking the lock to the back of the gymnasium.

"I say we have one fun training session before the big competition."

"You stole a key!"

"Correction, I borrowed a key." The door opened. "Come on." They walked around the empty gym.

"Can you believe that tomorrow this place will be filled with like 40 thousand people?"

"I know, all cheering us on." Kimberly looked up in amazement. She had the same look when the team first had training sessions after the Opening Olympic Ceremony. Camera flashing everywhere, it was simply amazing. She was astonished to be here for the men's team under the bright lights just tonight. Now back, the gym empty, just perfect for them.

"Let's have some fun." Blaine loaded a dance mix CD into the huge stereo system. Blaine pulled Kimberly to the floor mat for a dance, getting laughs from the others. Shannon ran her hand along the beam as Kerri and John were dancing. She smiled. Blaine was on the floor mat, doing some simple passes.

"Let's see what you go." Kimberly kicked off her heels. She went did some back flips into a flyaway behind Blaine.

Tommy sneaked out from the party and followed Blaine and the others. Kimberly looked so beautiful tonight in her hot pink and black crystal pleated dress. Tommy had never seen Kimberly look so relaxed as she was doing gymnastics with Blaine. "Red Light Special" came on from the stereo. Kimberly danced around; doing running passes to music as Blaine watched. They danced together hotly.

"Tommy!" Tommy shook his head as Kimberly pulled herself from Blaine. Kimberly looked at Blaine and rushed after Tommy. "Tommy! Tommy, will you just wait!"

"Why?" Kimberly caught Tommy by the arm.

"What are you doing here?" Kimberly asked slightly out of breath from chasing him.

"Believe it or not, I came here to tell you…"

"Tell me what?"

"Nothing. I'm happy for you, happy for both of you."

"Happy for… Tommy, wait…"

"Good luck at the Games."

"Tommy wait…"

"Good luck Kimberly." Tommy walked away. Kimberly sighed.

Next day

Shannon shook her head as Kimberly pounded the floor mat after she missed her Arabian double front, coming off the mat into out of bounds.

"I hope you won't do that tomorrow night," Shannon said as she passed Kimberly to do her running pass. Kimberly rolled her eyes and walked away from the mat. If she didn't get her head off Tommy and last night, she was going to be mess for Compulsories. Kimberly sat on the sidelines in a chair, watching the girls train.

Only a few people knew what it took to get Kimberly here. When she ran out that suite back in February, she never spoke of where she went, not even to Tommy. It was late that evening before Kim finally came home. Tommy and Kim's parents were packing away still. Kim's mother on the phone still trying to find Kimberly. Kimberly came into the suite quietly.

"How are you?" Kim's mother asked as she put the phone down. Kimberly shrugged. "Where did you go?"

"No where."

"Are you okay?" Tommy asked. Kimberly shrugged. She hugged him.

"Let's go home." Tommy smiled and held Kimberly tighter.

Kimberly sat on the plane ride back to Angel Grove with Tommy. Tommy was holding her hands.

"Everything is going to be great, now that you are home. Trust me." But was everything going to be great now that she was home. Kimberly looked out the window as the most tramatic flashback came to her.

Kimberly could still see the first time she was being weighed as if it was happening now.

"You're going to have to lose 10 pounds."

"What?"

"Kimberly, you need to lose 10 pounds."

"But this is good for a girl my height."

"Do you want to be good or great?" Kimberly was slightly taken back by that question.

"Great."

"Okay then, you have to lose 10 pounds. Next!" Kimberly stepped off the scale with shame.

Tommy took Kim's hands breaking her memories.

"We're home."

March came quickly and things that seem to be getting better weren't. Kimberly secretly went back to her old habits. She would skip meals. Tommy had school, so couldn't watch her every meal. Kimberly had gotten up early for a run. She poured a bowl of cereal, taking one bite, but trashed the rest and put the dirty bowl in the sink and went to shower. Tommy came out from his shower when she came into his room.

"Have you eaten?"

"Yeah, some cereal," Kimberly said going into the bathroom after finishing some water. Tommy nodded and went upstairs to make some cereal himself. He saw the open box and closed the box after getting himself a bowl.

"Where are you going?"

"Uh, shopping."

"Shopping? Didn't you, Katherine and Tanya just do that this weekend?"

"So, I want to shop again!" Kimberly snapped.

"Fine," Tommy said. Kimberly dropped Tommy off to school, as she took his car to the mall. Tommy's mother was throwing some bad take-out and saw the cereal in the trash. She immediately called Tommy at school on his lunch break.

"Are you sure, Mom?"

"Yes, she's going back to it, Tommy. We better stop this immediately."

"I'll talk to her today. Can you leave us to be alone this afternoon?"

"Okay, you're father and I were thinking about visiting my mother this weekend. We can leave this afternoon."

"Thanks, Mom."

"Take care, son."

"I will," Tommy said hanging up and sighing.

After school, Kimberly was waiting for Tommy in the school parking. He had a bad look on his face.

"Hey, tiger!" Kimberly opened the door for him. He saw the bags in the back. "You look like you've had a rough day, something wrong?"

"I would rather talk once we get home."

"Okay," Kimberly said. They drove in silence. Tommy helped her carry some of her things inside. "I got some really cute things for the room, I think you will like."

"Why are you doing it again?"

"Doing what?" She put her things down.

"My mother found cereal in the trash. So, don't lie to me. Why are you doing it again?"

"I'm not, gosh! Don't you believe me?" Tommy shook his head.

"Look me in the eyes," Tommy said pulling her to face him. "And tell me you are not doing it."

"Let me go," Kimberly yelled trying to pull her arms away from Tommy's tight grasp.

"You can't do it, because you are!. Gosh, Kim, how can you be soo stupid?!"

"Don't yell at me!"

"I will yell and scream, until you get it through your thick skull. This is all dumb! Starving yourself is stupid!" Kimberly had tears in her eyes. "And those tears won't help. I will not go through this again. I am fighting to keep you alive, but if you won't even help yourself, then I am just wasting my time."

"You are being unfair! You don't know what I have to do!"

"Unfair! I'm unfair! You are you starving yourself!"

"I'm fine! I am fine! Please, I just…"

"I won't watch you kill yourself! I'm putting you into a hospital."

"What?"

"A place for girls like you."

"I won't go!"

"You no longer have a choice." Kimberly shook her head.

"I won't go. You can't make me."

"I will, so don't try me. You're going tomorrow morning. I have set up everything."

"You can't do that, you can't do this to me!"

"Kimberly, I love you and I'm trying to save your life. Pack some things tonight." Kimberly shook her head.

Kimberly gasped as she snapped from her flashback to hear someone yelling her name.

"Are you just going to sit there and daydream?"

"What?"

"You still have bars!"

"Oh right." Kimberly got up and went to put on her bar grips. Kimberly called Tommy after another break, but Katherine picked up.

"He doesn't want to speak to you."

"Please, Katherine, put him on the phone now."

"My boyfriend doesn't want to speak to you!"

"Oh don't you fucking dare, pull the holy boyfriend shit on me Katherine! I need to speak with Tommy right now!"

"You have competition to prepare for, leave Tommy alone!" Katherine hung up the phone. Kimberly gasped at the phone.

"You bitch!" Kimberly immediately opened a link back to the phone. "Listen here, you, self-seeking bitch I am not asking, I am telling you to put Tommy on this fucking phone!"

"I will do no such thing!"

"This is not about you! Damnit!"

"This is about Tommy, my boyfriend so obviously this is about me! Leave him alone, haven't you done enough!"

"Tommy and I were friends long before…"

"Before you broke his heart?"

"I didn't…"

"You threw it all away!"

"I did what I had to do, you bitch!"

"No, you're the selfish bitch here, Kimberly."

"You good for nothing blonde airhead bitch," Kimberly screamed. "What true friend dates your friend's ex?!" Katherine gasped.

"That is just…"

"What, the truth! Tommy and I are, were, whatever, you waited what, a few weeks before you made your move."

"For you information I …" Tommy was listening to the fighting from the doorway.

"Like I even care! You will never have what Tommy and I have, had, whatever, just put him on the damn phone!"

"Give me the phone, Katherine." Katherine looked up, haven't seen Tommy standing there. Katherine groaned and handed over the phone. "What do you want Kimberly?"

"To talk, please, I just…I have to explain…"

"There is nothing left to explain. And I would appreciate if you don't yell and attack my girlfriend in this manner again. Goodbye."

"Tommy, wait…"

Kimberly was depressed after another failing day at the gym before the start of the Compulsories tomorrow night. She only had a few hours to shake off the disappointment of practice, get dinner and rest for tomorrow night. Kimberly only felt this disappointing when she remembered the day when she finally realized her eating disorder was going to kill her if she didn't change and fast. It was the day she left Tommy. No one knew what had changed in Kimberly to make her come back stronger and more confident than ever before, but knew it happened that month.

Blaine found out about Kim's illness in March when she ran away from Tommy when he tried to put her into a girls' hospital for eating disorders. Blaine found Kimberly alone in her room with just a single bag.

"Hey."

"Hey." Kimberly opened her bag.

"What are you doing here, I thought you left?"

"I'm back."

"Only one bag."

"I didn't need much more."

"Right. So, what is it, stuffing yourself then puking it up or no food at all?"

"Who told you that? That's ridiculous!"

"Is it? I mean, I wouldn't have believed it, not from you, but now I do see it. Look, do you think you're the only one doing this, because I know tons of girls that have."

"I don't know what you are talking about," Kimberly said. Blaine stopped her and pulled Kimberly to facing him.

" You gotta be thin to win, right. To soar higher, bend better. Sit down."

"Blaine, I…"

"Sit down." Kimberly and Blaine sat on the bare bed together. "Look, I know okay. But unlike everyone else, I'm not going to force you to change, because that won't help. You have to want to change."

"I am fine."

"Are you? You think this is working, huh?"

"I am winning."

"Yeah, you are, but its not because of this. Your body is already not handling the stress, you almost killed yourself a month ago."

"I am fine now."

"No. You are not fine, you have an eating disorder, Kimberly. I'm your friend and I need you to help me, help you."

"Tommy said the same thing and then tried to…"

"I know, I talked to your parents. We have decided to send you to a clinic. You will be going tomorrow morning."

"Blaine, I can't…"

"You will be going. This is one choice you don't get to decide."

"What about not forcing me to do something?"

"I can't force you to eat, but I can force you to get some help. Please, Kimberly. Your mother, everyone loves you so much, and we can't lose you to this. Tell me you will go to that clinic?" Kimberly didn't look at Blaine. Blaine raised her by the chin. Kimberly looked up at Blaine finally.

"Okay."

Kimberly had changed her floor performance this year. It was unheard in the sport to change such an important part of your routine so late in the season, especially an Olympic year. But after the 3-week clinical program and Nationals arriving quickly. Kimberly wanted something special, something that really spoke to her and touched her soul. She changed her entire program to the classical theme music of the 1968 movie, "Romeo and Juliet".

Blaine had come by the clinic to spend some time with Kimberly; they watched the old 1968 version. Kimberly had a dream about performing in the Olympics and she knew that music was to be the start. Kimberly started working on that, and in just 2 weeks, she performed to the music at the United States National competition, where she placed first place to a standing ovation when she finished her floor routine in dramatic fashion.

United States National Championships flashback

Kimberly walked from the back area into the Philadelphia Complex where the 1996 US National Championship was taking place. It was late May. She took several deep breaths to calm her beating heart, not knowing the true joys set to come this very night. Shannon and Kimberly had become such close friends since most of the gymnastic community had found out about Kim's illness. Everyone made a push to help her and make sure she was okay to compete.

Shannon walked over to Kimberly. They hugged.

"How are you feeling?" Shannon asked.

"Okay. Like I might puke, but not because I want to." Kimberly smiled.

"Just nerves, don't worry about them."

"I hope so." Shannon smiled.

"You just gotta make the top 6, which I know you will. Everything is set after that."

"Thanks."

Of the 24 girls competing for the Olympics Games in July, only the top 6 were guaranteed their spots to make the Olympic Trials in Colorado at these National Championships. Each rotation had 6 girls competing. Kimberly started the contest on beam, then bars, vault, and finally ending on floor. As Kimberly was warming up, she focused on the task ahead, forgetting her butterflies. Though they were tearing at her stomach. She knew this was a huge step and it wasn't time get scared and quit.

Kimberly was 4th up on beam in the 1st rotation. She walked up to the line and nodded, indicating that to the judges she was ready to begin. She landed perfectly her beam routine to the crowd cheers. Kimberly looked up to the scoreboard to see 9.850 flashing. She jumped up and hugged her coach.

"You were great, one down, 3 more to go." Kimberly nodded and went to warm up for bars. Coach Blair started working with Kimberly just 2 weeks now, unheard in a sport to have a coach so late. Blair called Kimberly his little consistency, stating she didn't truly need a coach; she was spot on when called upon.

"I can't believe it's happening," Pierre said.

"Man, she sure looks amazing out there. And healthy," Kim's mother said holding his hand. Kim's coach moved the punch horse, after Kim mounted the bars. She was perfect up to her release move. She had a bit of a pause, where Blair knew she had made a mistake, but Kim made it up for it and continued on. She had to add extra rotation and did her dismount, double layout, landing perfectly. She smiled as she held her hands above her head. Coach Blair hugged Kimberly as she hopped to the sidelines, a huge smile on her face. They high fived and hugged. Scoreboard flashed a 9.775. Kimberly was in a tie for first place with Shannon Miller.

Kimberly's next rotation was vault. She hadn't properly got training in her vaults since her leave. Her 2 vaults were: a double front tuck with half twist, degree of difficulty a 10, with her second a full twisting layout, scoring a 9.8. Kim went for her first vault, full twisting layout; she had a bit of a short landing getting a 9.650, after she took a huge step forward. Coach Blair walked with her down the to the line.

"You can't step out your landing on this vault, you gotta plant those feet and stay still." Kimberly nodded. "I want to see a 10, don't you?" Kimberly smiled and nodded. She walked back to the line. "You can do it, Kimberly!" Kimberly raised her arms up to the judges. She ran down to 20 feet ramp into her vault, double front with half twist. Kimberly landed perfectly, getting a cheer of applaud from the crowd. The judges smiled and nodded, posting their score. 9.90. Kimberly averaged a 9.775 on vault, however, Shannon got a 9.825 on beam, putting her ahead of Kimberly by 0.050. Shannon was going into bars, as Kimberly was ending the competition on floor and a brand new routine.

There was a bit of stereo problem, so Kimberly, the last one up, had to wait to perform. She stood at the sidelines waiting for her turn. Shannon had finished on bars, earning a 9.875. Kimberly had to score a 9.950 or better. No one so far had earned that top score at any rotation. Kimberly waited, flexing her toes on the ground. The stress building greater with the long wait. Kimberly sighed as she waited.

After 5 more minutes, every other gymnast had finished whatever apparatus they were on when it was finally Kimberly's turn. All eyes were on her, and only her since she was the only one competing. Kimberly walked to the mat to a round of cheers. She took many deep breaths before she went into her opening pose. Her life, her dreams and Olympic hope on the balance of a 95 second performance.

The music started to the music of 'Romeo and Juliet', the classical theme song to the 1968 classic movie. Kimberly's arms moved with softness never before she went into doing the required leaps and spins before going into her first passes. Kimberly's first 2 tumbling passes came back-to-back of each other. The first one, Kimberly threw herself into a front flip straight into an Arabian front double tuck, and the second was a triple twist. During the middle climatic part of the music, Kimberly did her 3rd pass, which was a series of front flips into a front full twist. Kimberly did more dancing, more look of ballet with spins that carried much more grace for one so young. She did her finally 2 passes, a double back pike and a double layout to the ending climax part. She landed perfectly with each pass with rounds of cheer. The music blaring toward the end, where everyone knows what happens to the lovers at that moment. Kimberly ended her performance with her hands in fist, pressed together, in a prayer's stance to her chest, breathing hard as she stared into the crowd. She carried a look of wonder and surprise that she did that well.

The crowd was on their feet at her spectacular and flawless performance, cheering her. Kimberly stood there taking in all the flashing bulbs, and the roar of the crowd. Kimberly did a bow to the crowd and blew kisses as she walked off. She was breathing hard still as she came off the mat. Coach Blair lifted Kimberly up into a hug. Cameras flashing around her as she won the competition with a perfect 10. But Kimberly's eyes focused on the crowd, she never wanted to forget this night, this moment.

Kimberly was sent home early to rethink today and whether or not she was completely ready for competition, because she seemed not to be in the right state of mind to compete. Head coach Bella thought a little time away would help her. Dominique Monceau found Kimberly in bed because Kimberly didn't even come down for dinner. That worried the others. Dominique came into the room and laid down with Kimberly.

"You okay?"

"I guess."

"It's just one training session."

"Yeah. Too bad it's been like this all week."

"Maybe if you…"

"Dominique don't start."

"Why haven't you told Tommy the truth?" Dominique asked.

"I can't, not now."

"Kimberly, things are getting way out of hand, you have to tell him. You are so distracted and so out of it, you won't be any good to us tomorrow night if you don't fix this tonight." Blaine came into Kim's room.

"Hey, room for one more?" Kimberly smiled. Blaine jumped in between the girls. They all lay together before Dominique got up to get something to drink. Tommy came by the suite to talk to Kimberly. He had felt he left things so stupid when he left.

"Oh, hey Tommy," Shannon said as she opened the door for him.

"Hi. Is Kimberly here?"

"Yeah. She's in her room." Tommy walked to Kim's room. Tommy stopped at the doorway to see Kimberly lay looking asleep against Blaine's chest. Tommy shook his head.

"It's not what you think, they aren't…" Dominique tried to say but Tommy cut her off.

"What does it matter?" Tommy went to leave the suite.

"Tommy, wait…"

"Tell her…" Tommy shook his head. "Nevermind." Tommy left the suite. Kimberly sat up on the bed.

"Did I just hear…" Blaine opened his eyes.

"What?" Blaine asked as Kimberly sat there. Dominique came running into Kim's room.

"He was here!"

"What?"

"Tommy, he was just here!"

"What!" Kimberly jumped up out the bed

"Yeah! He saw you two and I think you better find him before he does something, oh I don't know stupid!" Kimberly rushed out the suite to find Tommy.

Tommy arrived to where they were staying just outside the Olympic Village. Katherine was reading a book when Tommy came back from his walk that he had to just do alone. Everyone was waiting until he returned to go get dinner.

"Oh, there you are, where did you…" Tommy lifted Katherine up off her seat. "What the…" Tommy kissed Katherine immediately.

"We need to talk."

"Okay." They went upstairs into a room, with the others looking at each other. All of a sudden, moans were coming from the closed-door room.

"Anybody hungry?"

"I could eat," Rocky said.

"Yeah me too," Jason said.

"Let's all go then now!"

"Wait, shouldn't we…" Trini was pulled up by Jason.

"No. They don't need us here for that." They all left the couple to do whatever they were doing in peace for dinner.

Katherine moaned, as Tommy had her pinned to the bed. All of a sudden, Tommy stopped right as Katherine pulled open his pants. He ripped away from her lips and sat up.

"I'm sorry."

"Are you okay?" Katherine asked, pulling her shirt around her chest.

"Yeah, I just…"

"What the hell was that then?"

"I…I don't know. I shouldn't have….I'm sorry."

"What am I, Tommy? What are we?" Tommy looked at Katherine. "Am I just something to keep your mind off her?"

"No!"

"Are you sure?! Do you even love me?" Tommy looked at Katherine. She stood up. "I knew it."

"Katherine, wait…"

"Wait?"

"I do care for you and I do love you."

"Prove it. Make love to me then, kiss me, hold me!" Tommy slowly cupped Katherine's face and kissed her. They laid back to the bed, but Tommy once again stopped abruptly.

"I'm so sorry."

"You're sorry! I will not be your rebound anymore!"

"You're not!"

"Aren't I, Tommy? Then what is this?"

"I don't…"

"Do you love me?" Katherine demanded.

"I love…." All of a sudden, the door opened. Kimberly came into the room breathing hard.

"Tommy…I…"

"Oh, of course. Just great, now you show up," Katherine said closing her shirt and fixing her skirt.

"I'm sorry."

"Wow, you two sure know how to use that line."

"What do you want Kimberly?" Tommy asked in anger.

"I wanted to…" Kimberly saw Tommy's pants undone, his shirt on the ground. Tears formed in her eyes. She tried to fight back the tears. "I…I.."

"What?" Kimberly shook her head.

"Nothing. I shouldn't have even…"

"Kim? Kimberly!" Kimberly ran out. Tommy went to pick up his shirt.

"That's right, just leave me here." Tommy fixed his clothes.

"I have to go after her."

"Why?"

"Why? Because, I love her! I'm so sorry, Kat. I really am, but I have go after her."

"Go. It's not your fault. I should haven't…"

"Katherine, I'm really…"

"Sorry, yes I know! I heard you the first time! Just go!" Tommy rushed out the room. "God, she was right. Kimberly was completely right. I was never meant to have what they have." Katherine sadly got dressed.

Tommy was searching around the village for Kimberly. Blaine had got a note to meet by a fountain, not knowing who was here to surprise him. The team had just finished 4th in the team's final, so the guys were a bit bummed. Blaine arrived to the fountain and gasped. Julie stood right there with flowers. Blaine's real girlfriend, Julie, had finally arrived. Blaine rushed to Julie and picked her up. They kissed immediately.

"Oh baby! I am so happy you are here!"

"Oh, Blaine. I'm so sorry, I should have came earlier, I shouldn't have…"

"Oh, it doesn't matter now. You are here. God, you are here! I love you." They kissed again. Tommy finds Blaine kissing a girl and that girl is not Kimberly. Enraged that Kimberly was dating a two-timing ass, Tommy rushed to confront Blaine.

"You lying son of bitch!" Tommy punched Blaine in the jaw. Kimberly was walking around, looking to speak with Blaine, when she saw the fight. Blaine went to tackle Tommy.

"Tommy! No!" Blaine was punched again, Julie screamed and hit Tommy. "Tommy, stop!" Kimberly stood before Blaine and Julie.

"You fucking asshole!"

"Asshole? You're cheating on Kimberly!" Blaine held his jaw.

"Tommy, no!" Kimberly pushed Tommy back.

"He's cheating on you!"

"Tommy, stop it, you don't know the whole story!"

"The whole story, he is fucking cheating on you!"

"Cheating, Blaine, what is going on here?" Julie asked holding Blaine's cheek.

"She lied you! She lied okay! We both did! I helped because she is my friend, like a sister to me, and she didn't need the distraction of being close to you and knowing it was all a lie! There never was another guy, we just pretended and said it to make you think that."

"You lied to me?" Tommy looked at Kimberly. Kimberly looked into Tommy's eyes and she felt her stomach drop.

"I…I…"

"How could you lie to me? How could you do that to me?" Tommy shook his head at Kimberly. He went to walk away.

"Tommy, Tommy wait!"

"Don't, I never want to talk to again, you lying bitch!" Tommy walked away to Kim's gasp. Tears rolled down Kimberly's face. Julie held Blaine's face.

"Kimberly, I'm sorry…I didn't mean…" Kimberly held her mouth covered as she cried.

"Go, put some ice on your face, Blaine."

"Kimberly…"

"I said go!" Kimberly yelled.

"Come on, Blaine." Julie took his arm and put it around her shoulders.

Kimberly found herself all alone on a bench. She hugged her legs to her chest as she cried under the moonlight. (Basically 360 of first story, Moonlight :P ) Tommy walked up behind her. Kimberly gasped.

"Tommy!"

"Don't…A brother, Kim. A brother?"

"Please, let me examine, let me…."

"You compared our love, OUR LOVE, to one of just a sibling love! How dare you! I loved you! You were my world, my everything..."

"Tommy, please I..."

"I don't want to hear it! A brother, Kim!"

"Please, if you just..."

"I don't care!" Kimberly flinched. "I don't care." Tommy sat on one end of the bench. Kimberly tried to hold back her sobs. She buried her face into her legs. "Why did you lie to me?" Tommy asked, as it was so quiet around them.

"I thought it was all for the best."

"Best? Breaking my heart was best for us?"

"You didn't want to believe I was okay!"

"You were starving yourself!"

"You wanted to take away the one thing that has keep me truly alive!"

"I wanted you to get better!" They fought and fought, before Tommy just simply had enough of Kimberly and this fight. He walked away.

"Tommy, Tommy please, just come back, don't leave! We can fix this! Tommy, don't go! Please, don't go! I'm better, I won't lie anymore! Tommy! Tommy!" Kimberly screamed. He continued walking away. Kimberly collapsed to the bench in tears. Her arms come up as she hugs herself and lies there on the bench crying. "Tommy, please…come back."

the

end...

not!

Sorry, had to do it again

No more delays, I promise

Back to the story...

Oh, it gets gravy now.

After 10 minutes, Kimberly opens her eyes to see someone squatting before her. Her vision clears. Tommy stood there before her.

"You came back?" Tommy nodded. "You came back." Tommy lifted Kimberly into his arms with ease.

"I'm tired of fighting, Kimberly. It's time we stop fighting each other. Let's just stop all this crap tonight. Do you love me?"

"I do."

"No, do you love me?"

"More than anything."

"I love you too, I always will. I told you that and I never lie."

"I'm so sorry."

"Me too. Let's show how our love is forever. Tonight."

"Okay." Tommy took Kim's hands. He brought her arms around his neck. Tommy carried Kimberly back to where he was staying. Katherine was the only one awake to see them coming up the stairs as she came from the bathroom. Katherine hide behind the door as Tommy and Kimberly were kissing on their way into Tommy's room.

Tommy slowly locked the door after placing Kimberly on the bed. They kissed as soon as Tommy sat on the bed. Tommy pulled off Kim's USA jacket followed by her white tank top. He kissed along her neck and bare shoulders. Kimberly worked on Tommy's heavy jeans. They joined the pile of discarded clothes. Kim's shorts next. Kimberly sat on Tommy, his head against the pillow in just a pair of red boxers, his hands at her thighs. She sat on top of him in just her cream bra and matching thong, her hand right on his chest, as her other hand beside his head. They stared at each other for the longest. Tommy's hand reached up to fix the hair right above her breasts. Tommy stroked Kim's cheek.

"I love you." Kimberly smiled. She slowly reached down, her hair touching his shoulder. Tommy reached up and kissed her. They kissed very passionately.

"You've been making me crazy, you know that?" He leaned up until his lips grazed against Kimberly's ear as he continued talking. "Insanely jealous for the past week. You don't even know how many times I nearly threw you down when you were flipping around in that tight unitard. I wanted to slam you on the floor and spread your legs, lick you 'til you came, then fuck you senseless." Kimberly moaned.

"Then why didn't you?"

"Call me crazy, but I thought you wouldn't like that. You had Blaine."

"Okay, crazy." Kimberly smiled and they kissed again.

"I want to make love to you so badly."

"All night?" Kimberly asked.

"All night." Tommy ran his mouth down Kim's body, haven't not tasted her in months. Tommy kissed down the center of her chest; his mouth surrounded her small peak. Tommy tugged on Kim's pink nipples. "God, so sweet, so beautiful." Tommy cupped Kim's breasts, his hands covering them with ease. Kimberly relaxed on her back, as Tommy found her wet opening with his tongue. "God, I missed how great you tasted." Tommy's tongue slid pass her opening before attacking her clit with flicker licks. Kimberly gripped the Tommy's head, moaning.

"Just like that, oh, Tommy!" Tommy's tongue bathed her opening, caressing and sucking against her clit. Kimberly came within moments, which didn't stop or slow Tommy down, he wanted to hear her sing his name all night. Tommy finally got up to his knees and slowly pushed forward as he lay between her legs. Tommy took his time sliding into Kimberly. Kimberly seem to just open perfectly to him. Tommy eased himself into her and ground his hips against hers, pushing deeper inside Kimberly. Tommy lay there, completely embedded inside Kimberly.

"God, you so tight!"

"I haven't, not with anyone, only you, only…" They both looked at each other before kissing hotly. Mouth opened to each new thrust. The bed softly creaking beneath them. "Tommy…" Kimberly gasped, as Tommy thrusts were ever so powerful. "Yes!" Tommy kissed Kimberly's open mouth and suckled at her neck. They made love with pure commitment knowing no other could or would ever make them feel this good. Tommy felt himself close. He had never wanted to come so badly, and was surprised how quickly Kimberly was there after his long tongue-lashing.

"Kim, Kimberly, I'm…."

"Tommy…oh! Tom…Tom…Tommy!"

"Kim!" Throwing back his head, Tommy cried out as the peak overtakes him and he comes hard inside of Kimberly. They had made love for the first time in nearly 5 months.

Kimberly laid her head to Tommy's chest after he rolled them over, so he was laying his back to the bed. Kimberly hugged Tommy. He had wanted more, much more, but fought the urges as Kimberly yawned. He hugged her back. They kissed softly before both fell asleep.

Next morning

After both moving about the bed throughout the night, sometimes Tommy was on back, Kimberly at his side, holding his hand against his chest. Tommy would rub her hand, as his lips were pressed against her head. Other times, Tommy was on his side facing Kimberly, stroking her face and pushing some hair back as Kimberly slept on. Tommy loved to watch Kimberly sleep just as much as Kimberly loved to watch him sleep. Kimberly lay awake partially on Tommy, stroking his face as he slept. Kimberly would often kiss though handsome lips that were begging to be taken. It may had been the prolonged abstinence, the constant wanting, for each other, and having not had it in so long, but their bodies yearned to be together. Tommy woke to feel Kim's lips against his neck, at first he just lay there, allowing her the time; it had been a while since they just laid next to one another. But there was a time to lay and relax, and it wasn't now. Tommy's hand ran up her naked back as he deepened the soft kiss Kimberly had planted on his lips, which started another romantic love making session.

The morning haze filled the room along with the cries of pure bliss. The sun was barely peeking through the clouds as Kimberly gasped out through her orgasm, as she came riding Tommy. She reach down and kissed him. Tommy lay there. Closing his eyes on a struggle for restraint and control. Constant bang of the headboard against the wall followed by the constant moan filled the room. Watching the way Kimberly moved on top of him simply astounded him. He felt shivers rush through his body, pooling within his groin. It was still swollen, buried deep inside. She was so tight, so warm and wet around him, her inner walls still twitching from her latest orgasm. Tommy sat them up, so he could take over. Tommy took a hold of Kimberly by her delicious round ass. Tommy's heavy panting filled the room, as he moved her on his lap. Kim's arms went around his neck, as she moaned against him. Tommy kissed her shoulders, neck, anything he could reach, as he lifted her over and over in his lap. Tommy let out a deep groan. He couldn't suppress that growl as he felt the tightening around his shaft. His control hanged by mere threads of hard earned discipline, which threatened to shatter at the merest sound of her voice. It felt that good. He had not allowed himself to feel that kind of pleasure for such a long time. The thundering of his heart deafened him till it sounded like wild drums beat a call for desire within the room.

"Tommy," Kimberly gasped. Tommy lifted Kimberly up, as his mouth surrounded her right breast. Kimberly gasped again. Tommy's hand moved up from her ass to her back to hold her there, but still moving deep inside her, while he sucked away at both her breasts.

Tommy took in deep breaths to aid but each gulp was fragranced in her scent and it only elicited more images. There was nothing he could do about it. As his lips made heated contact with hers, he felt seared. Tommy grabbed Kim's ass again, moving her faster against him. Kimberly moaned, biting her lip to keep from coming again. She braced herself against his shoulders, as Tommy looked at her still moving her.

"Yeah?"

"Yeah…" Tommy slowly moved Kimberly down to the bed. She held her arms open for him. Tommy smiled. Pressing into her, he made her aware of the power she held over him. It was almost painful his need for her. His fingers fisted through the wet hair pulling her closer, finding the damp smoothness erotic, it wrestled a deep groan from him. He was so close to her that he feared forever, even if he lost the most important memories to him he would always recall the feel of her body imprinted on him.

Pulling his mouth away from the sweet temptation of her lips, Tommy buried his face in the hallow of her neck as his body pushed tightly against hers over and over. She was trapped, offering herself so honestly to him. He released one wrist and cupped Kimberly's face in his hand. They came together. Tommy stayed on top of Kimberly, never wanting to leave her warm body again.

The others heard the sounds of making love from Tommy's bedroom again. Everyone slightly looked up. Jason shook his head and got more juice after Aisha.

"I can't believe it."

"Still going at it. You think they were bunnies or something."

"I know, I mean, I figured when we left for dinner last night, they would be done, since we came home and found everything so quiet. But oh no! They seemed to just have picked it up in the middle of the night and hasn't stopped."

"I know, poor Kim. How is she going to take it to knowing that…"

"I know. I mean, how could Tommy do that to her. I thought he said he loves Kimberly!"

"Yeah, me too."

"I should go up there and…."

"Sit down," Aisha said to Rocky. "He would kill you."

"You too," Trini said to Jason. Rocky and Jason sat down.

"If he loves Kimberly, he wouldn't be making love to…. Katherine!" Katherine appeared in the dining/living room. She closed her robe and took an empty seat.

"What are you…I thought…"

"Like I could stay upstairs and try to sleep with that going on?" Katherine got some juice.

"Wait, if you're not the one, then…who is…"

"Two guesses, though I am pretty sure you only need one."

"No."

"No way!"

"That's Kimberly up there?" Jason asked.

"They got in about 11 last night."

"How did this happen?" Katherine shrugged to Aisha's question.

"Last thing we saw, you and Tommy making out like no end before we left for dinner."

"Yeah, well that just fell apart."

"What?"

"Yeah, we were both fooling each other."

"So what happened next?" Trini asked.

"Well, Kimberly came in. I think she was rather shocked to see us in the state we were in. She rushed out almost as fast as she rushed in. Tommy took off after her, leaving me there."

"I'm so sorry, Katherine," Rocky said.

"Oh please, don't give me the 'I'm sorry'. You all wanted them back together."

"They do belong together," Zack said.

"Hey, I don't disagreed," Katherine said. She got some toast. "Any person could see that. Anyways, Tommy left me, I guess they found each other and talked it out because I didn't see Tommy again until he returned with Kimberly, kissing away on their way to the bedroom."

"You are okay with it, right?" Aisha asked.

"Do I look okay? Sorry, I didn't mean to snap like that to you all. It hurts, I won't lie, but I will be fine. I mean, I am happy for them. We all should be."

"Yeah, but…"

"Hey, we all knew this day would happen, even me. Let's just be happy for them and leave it at that, for me okay."

"Okay." They ate breakfast.

After the wonderful memory of what had happened the night and early this morning before played in Kimberly's head like a silent film, Kimberly smiled against Tommy's chest. Tommy looked down at her.

"What?"

"Nothing. I'm just so happy."

"Good." Tommy gave Kim's shoulder a squeeze and kissed her temple before closing his eyes for a little nap. Kimberly continued to smile. Her hand caresses his chest. After a while Kimberly raises her head from his chest to hear light snoring. The best way to make that man fall asleep is to fondle him anywhere.

Slowly Kimberly worked her hand down his stomach. Tommy lays asleep on the bed, so open, both naked, the sheets tangled at their feet. Kimberly quickly finds the same spot on his chest again and continue satisfying her own need to feel him. To caress him.

As the time goes by, Kimberly feels his chest rising as he takes in a deep breaths. She moved her hand back to the nipple she loves so much. Her hand moves back down again. When Kimberly meets the start of his happy trail, she moves her hand to his thigh and lightly caress it with her fingers as far down as she could reach. Then upwards on the inside of his leg, then continued on the other leg. Kimberly felt the hardness of his penis when she occasionally accidentally touches him with her arm. Kimberly gently brushed her fingers over his arousal, until she can't restrain herself anymore and takes him in hand.

Tommy's not snoring anymore now.

Kimberly looks at his face. Tommy's lying there with his eyes closed. He's not breathing as if he's asleep anymore and his lips are curved in the most beautiful smile Kimberly has ever seen on him. He enjoys this as much, if not more, as Kimberly does. It warms Kim's heart. His hand moves to the top of Kim's head, pressing down as an indication.

"Oh I know what he wants… and he will get it." Kimberly thinks with a huge smile. Tommy sighs as Kimberly moves down his body, caressing his raging hard penis with her hands as she goes. Kimberly kisses the inside of his thigh before licking the underside of his gorgeous penis. As she takes in the head, Tommy breathes in heavily and again as Kimberly slides her tongue around it. With his hands back on Kimberly's head, encouraging her to go on, holding her long hair together, Kimberly sucks harder. After a while Kimberly feels his grip on her head tighten and his hips move upwards in small thrusts. In a few more moves Kimberly let go of him. Tommy lifted his head and looks at her in big surprise.

"Wha…why did…" Kimberly moved up to him.

"I want you inside me," Kimberly whispered in his ear. Tommy smiled. Kimberly kissed those smiling lips.

Kimberly straddled him and his hands guide his thick dick inside her. His hands on Kim's hips as she slowly lower herself onto him. God it felt too good…

Kimberly tried not to moan, because she remembered their best friends are downstairs and there isn't anything soundproof about this place. As Tommy was fully inside Kimberly, they both sigh, though his was a little louder than Kimberly. Kimberly put a finger on Tommy's lips to shush him. His grips on her hips tighten as Tommy moves Kimberly around a bit in his lap.

"Tommy….oh…feels…so good." Kimberly started rocking back and forth on him.

As the bed starts creaking loudly again they slowed down the pace. Tommy puts a hand on Kim's back to make her stop. He wants her to move off him. Kimberly lays to her back as Tommy levels above her. Tommy lifts Kim's knees and spreads her legs wide. He leaned in and kissed her before gently pressing himself back inside her again. Before long he starts a much faster pace. He pounds faster and faster…

Faster…

The bed is creaking furiously and though Kimberly loves it, she can't get my mind off their friends and what they must think of them now. Faster still Tommy moves… He's panting hard now, but seems reluctant to let himself go yet. Kimberly arched against the bed.

"Tommy!"

"Kim!" Tommy buried his face into her neck, as in a matter of seconds he comes and the creaking stops abruptly. Kimberly held his back, as hot spurts of his essence filled her yet again. She only had a moment to feel him when the waves overcame her as well and she came. Tommy lay there, both covered in sweat. Kimberly wiped the sweat off his forehead as he raised his head to look at her. They both smile at each other. His face and shoulders bear the saying, "Kim's property" with her scratches all over her shoulders and back. Damn straight, the way it supposed to be. Kimberly took Tommy in her arms as he falls into her with a long searing kiss.

The walkie-talkie beeped in.

"Kimberly!" Aisha picked up the phone.

"This is Aisha."

"Where is Kimberly? We have a media interview in 40 minutes! I have held back Bella for as long as I can. Tell her to hurry up!"

"I'll go get her." Aisha went upstairs. Aisha knocked on the door.

"Yeah!" Tommy yelled out. Kimberly and Tommy looked at the door as it opened. Kimberly was lying on top of Tommy, the covers right at their waist.

"Shannon called. She said she has held back Bella for as long as I could."

"Thanks." Kimberly pulled the sheet to cover her chest as she took the phone from Aisha. Aisha left the room with a smile. "Shannon?"

"Hi, where are you?"

"I uh, I'm with the guys."

"We have been so worried! Blaine said Tommy found out last night and he left you crying…"

"Yeah, but it's okay now."

"Good, then get your ass here, we need you." Kimberly looked at Tommy.

"I'll be right there. Bye." Kimberly placed the phone down. "I have to go."

"Right now?"

"Yeah. We have a team media morning, last practice. I wish I could stay."

"Wait, we aren't finished here."

"Tommy, everything we need to talk about, everything can wait until after the Games. I have to go now."

"I thought you loved me more than anything?"

"I do!" Kimberly cupped Tommy's face.

"Then don't go, not yet."

"This is my chance, Tommy!"

"What about our chance, our second chance?" Kimberly sighed.

"You are the one that pushed me to go follow my dreams! I am not doing anything by following them!"

"At our expense."

"That decision is yours to make." Kimberly got up and got dressed.

"Kimberly, if you leave, if you leave before we…"

"Tommy, don't'. Don't say it, not now. Don't make any decisions yet." Kimberly was fully dressed and left the room.

"You already have."

The women's Olympic gymnastic team arrived to the media center. There was a long table empty waiting for them. The cameramen and new reporters anxiously awaiting the young girls. The girls came in all dressed in their blue USA matching jumpsuits. Kimberly sat down to flashes of cameras on her. Kimberly had to shield her eyes at first to the blinding light. Questions were tossed at the young gymnasts for over an hour. Kimberly goes into the Women's competition a bit spacey, her thoughts back on Tommy.

All the girls came together at the lockers for the last pep talk before the start of Compulsories. Shannon had them stand in a circle hugging one another.

"I'm not gonna make a big speech here, we don't need a big speech about how important this all is. We know it. This is the Olympic Games ladies, in our home country. Each of us has something to show that crowd tonight. This is the beginning okay. Nothing else matters but right now. I want your best. You ready to make a splash?" Everyone nodded with smiles. "Let's show everyone Americans don't play."

The US women gymnasts went flat out on the Compulsories. Russia, USA and Romania stand 1-2-3 heading into team finals for tomorrow night. The U.S. women's gymnastics team showed calm, composed and uncharacteristically chummy, and took a large step toward capturing its first team gold medal by finishing ahead of the defending team World Champion Romanians in the compulsory portion of the competition, which accounts for 50 of the scoring. However, the always powerful Russians knocked down the girls to second place in the overall standings.

The U.S. women were, quite simply, astonishingly cool while nailing 22 out of 24 routines before a crowd of over 30,000 highly partisan fans at the Georgia Dome. U-S-A seemingly chanted from the opening doors. The only missteps came on the balance beam, the Americans' second rotation, when 16-year-old Kimberly Hart fell off. Then again on even bars, Kimberly miscue on her transition move coming to a complete stop on the bars, causing another failed routine. But Shannon Miller, picked up the team by following that miscue with the best beam routine of the day, scoring 9.737. And Amy Chow following on bars with her response with a solid 9.687, rendering Kimberly's mistakes meaningless, since the low score in each rotation is dropped. The women exude a quiet confidence in themselves and in each other, a confidence that must stem from the knowledge that, win or lose, they are the best women's gymnastics team America has ever had. Kimberly bounced back with a spectacular ending a bad day with her floor routine bringing the house down.

USA girls came in 2nd place. They made the top 8 teams to compete for the gold medal the tomorrow night. Kim's head not into match after fighting that morning with Tommy. Coach Bella stopped Kimberly on her way to the lockers.

"Did you see that scoreboard?" Kimberly looked up at the position. "2nd place. Do you think this team is worth a second place finish?" Kimberly shook her head. "Then why aren't you fighting for it? Shannon is our captain, the leader of this team, having had so much experience at this senior level, but you are our heart! The heart!" Bella took Kimberly by the shoulders. "You are our heart, Kimberly. Why are competing without yours?" Kimberly bowed her head to the coach.

The girls had to spend another hour with the media. All wanting to know about the competition. Many claiming it was like watching a videotape of gymnastics made easy. The U.S. women were virtually flawless in the floor exercises, outscoring the 12 other countries and sticking their landings like featherweight darts. Kimberly ended the program with her flawless floor exercise, though it didn't seem to have the same spark that she gave back at Nationals about 2 months ago.

The USA ladies will have to rely on its depth, Shannon, Keri, Dominique Moceanu and Kimberly, who were all in the top 15 of the individual all-around competition—and the home court advantage. The coaching staff came to give their recount of tonight's performances by the girls. The reporters were greatly surprised by the change in lineup of the ladies. In team competition the nature of the judging is such that the later in a rotation a gymnast performs, the higher the scores the judges are likely to give her. Rather than place U.S. stars Hart and Miller in the last two spots at every apparatus, guaranteeing them the team's highest marks, the American coaching staff decided to use results from the Trials and the Nationals, to determine its starting order. That meant that Kerri Strug or Dominique Dawes anchored a rotation and Amanda twice led off. Moceanu found herself sixth, fourth and twice second tonight.

"We've always been consistent in compulsories, so I'm not that surprised we did well tonight," Coach Bella Karolyi said. "What did surprise me was that we passed the Romanians by over half a point."

"It was just good strategy," says Steve Nunno, Miller's coach. "The kids understood it, and everyone scored well as a result. The Romanians were excellent in compulsories, and we beat them."

"Our girls will have to rely on their power, skill and courage, because tomorrow night is the big game."

"One final question Coach. What about the young Kimberly Hart? You seem to have words for her at the end of tonight's competitions. Care to share?"

"I just told Kimberly what she needed to hear."

"Do you think she listened?"

"Oh, I know she did and will come out tomorrow night a totally different competitor. All the ladies know it will take 24 mistake-free rotations if they have any hope to have the gold medal."

The girls arrived to the house to find it dark. Kimberly put her USA duffle bag to the ground.

"I'll order dinner," DD said putting her bag down next to Kimberly and Shannon's things.

"Hold on," Shannon said. "We need to talk." Kimberly plopped to the couch. Dominique and Amanda sat on her other side.

"If it wasn't for me, you guys would be leading."

"Are you crazy?"

"Because of you, and your vault and floor routine, we are in second place. We all have each other to thank for what we gave out there." Kimberly shook her head.

"I just wanted to do my best and I…" Tears formed in Kimberly's eyes. Dominique put her arm around Kimberly.

"Don't you dare cry tonight," Shannon said sternly causing all to look up at her. "Save those tears for tomorrow night when you really will need them. Everyone follow me." Shannon walked into one of triple bedrooms, where Dominique, Kimberly and Kerri shared. "Help me." They all pushed the 3 beds together to make one massive bed. "Everyone get in." Kimberly was in the middle with 3 girls on her sides, Shannon right next to her. "Tomorrow night is just about the team, nothing more. We have gone through so much this past few months to go home empty handed. We are the 7 top girls in the United States! We cannot, will not! Go home without a medal, without that gold medal." Shannon took Kimberly's hand. The others followed, taking one another hands. "We are a magnificent group of young ladies, all teenagers from 14 to 19, the magnificent 7, talented to the core. I love each of you for what you all bring to this team." Shannon looked at Kerri beside Kimberly. "Kerri, you are without a doubt our all-around poise pixie to just throw yourself into the mix, and do whatever is needed to win." Shannon turned her head to the others side. "DD, your gorgeous soulful 'black' power, our awesome dawsome. You carry that ability to look the judges in the eyes while you compete and make them sit up and recognize you. Amy, that upright quiet consistency that we all will wish we had, you may dazzle the crowd on bars, but you dazzle me with your soul. Little Dominique, that youthful 14-year smile I miss, a face like Nadia Comaneci and a giddiness that makes us all wish we were 14 again. Amanda, the old lady, mother mentor, my right hand girl that has been with me from the start and is always there to give her all…" Shannon paused and looked at Kimberly deeply. "And you, you Kimberly, the new Olympic hope, the new Dream girl, the one with all the pressure on her shoulders because you came from nowhere to outshine us all. I know it's hard, I felt the same back in '92. Being the greatest is hard with some many people there to tear you down, but you are stronger than that. Remember what I said back at Nationals. You are going to do something magically tomorrow night for us, which will make everyone forget all the crap from this past week. I feel it and you should too. "

"What about you?" Kimberly asked. "What do you bring to this team?"

"I am indisputable top cat, La Capitan, the greatest…" The girls all laughed loudly, rolling about the huge bed. "What, don't you all turn to me for help or to talk?" Everyone nodded in approvable. "Well, that is me, the one you turn for whatever you need. We are all strong as individuals, but we are and will be stronger as one. Tomorrow night, I don't just want your best, but your greatest ever. We all have to give 100 percent tomorrow, 100. This is the Olympics, it only comes around every 4 years and I don't know about you, but I don't wait another 4 years to show the entire World what America is made up of. I say we show them tomorrow what this 7 group of fine ladies can do. We will have fun, we will yell and scream and cheer each other on throughout every moment of tomorrow night. There will not be a quiet moment from us, okay?" Everyone nodded. "We will be horse at the end of the night, nothing better. That crowd is itching for something magically to happen tomorrow night, let's give them it." All the girls smiled. "We sleep together as one tonight, and wake up as one. We eat, we shower, warm-up, everything as one, you hear me. This is our time to excel ladies. Until these Games are over with, we are one unit, holding hands through it all. Anyone hungry?" Most of the girls shook their heads. "We'll have a big breakfast okay. Now, let's get some sleep. We are going to need it. Win on 3. 1,2,3…"

"WIN!"

Next Morning

Kimberly woke up first surrounded by her team, her sisters.

"Morning," Shannon said yawning.

"Morning."

"How you feeling?"

"Too many things at once to talk about."

"Me too," Shannon said sitting up. "Come on girls, it's almost 10, we got like 9 hours of sleep last night!" Shannon slapped DD on the butt. DD groaned.

The girls showered and pulled out their team final's unitards for tonight.

"Well, it's better than those ugly ones we had at Olympic Trials."

"Yeah, that is true." Kimberly held up her white suit with American flag across the chest and blue arm. The girls put the suits and blue jumpsuits. Each girl helped the others with their hair. Kimberly was brushing Kerri's short hair back.

"Do I look good?"

"Gorgeous baby, just gorgeous!" Every girl with hair held it back in a single ponytail with white bow to complete the look. Shannon was fixing Kim's ponytail with some ribbons.

"We all look gorgeous ladies!"

They arrived to the Georgia Dome to a crowd of over 30,000 cheering and awaiting. Tommy and the guys piled into the stands with the rest of the giant crowd. A woman carrying the USA panel came to give the girls their final 5-minute warning. Kimberly took deep breaths.

"Amanda, go first, lead us out," Shannon said.

"I thought…"

"Lead us out." All the girls took each other's hands one last time before they walked out from the backstage. The crowd seemingly sense their arrivals jumped into a roar of excitement. Amanda was the only one not starting the competition on the first rotation with bars, so she came out in her full jacket and pants. The other 6 girls stood proud in their white American flag suits with their bags on their shoulders. The coaches walked behind the girls smiling. They were required to sit in stands made for all coaches. They were allowed on the floor with the girls, only medical trainee coaches. The girls marched out, as if to war, knowing what they had to do tonight. Each girls carried a cool face with a smile to the crowd. Each team to start the competition went to their respected apparatuses to start the Olympic Team Finals. Romania on beam, Ukraine on floor, in the lead, the Russians start on vault, China with a bye this round.

The girls went to their area at the center and started preparing for the uneven bars. They put their bags down and went to warm up on the uneven bars. The 6 girls first walked in a line to the judges. Kimberly was fumbling with her arm grips for bars, feeling the nerves come. She saw her friends in a distance with huge 'Go Kimberly' signs. She smiled. She bit her lip as she saw Tommy. All morning she had so desperately wanted to pick up the phone and call him, but every time she would put the phone down. The girls waved to the crowd, as they were all individual announced. The crowd cheered louder for the team than any other team, of course. All 7 girls felt the pressure from the homestead crowd. All 6 ladies will compete, but one score will be dropped. Kerri started first followed by Dominique, Amy, Shannon, Kimberly, and DD. It was a domino, one great exercise after the other.

Bang!

Every time one of the girls landed their bars' dismount, it was a bam. As they all stuck their landings to perfection. Kimberly landed her double layout the way you are supposed to, arms held high with a huge smile on your face. She ran over to the girls who were waiting for her. They all hugged Kimberly. Kimberly got a 9.837 tied with Amy's for the highest score for the Americans so far. DD anchored the team with a 9.850, taking the USA team into first place with a high score of 242.742. leading the Russians by 0.472.

"Oh my god!"

"They are in the lead!" Rocky yelled. Everyone finally saw the scoreboard as well.

"Way to go USA!"

"USA! USA!" The crowd repeated as the girls quickly loaded up their bags and carried them over to the beam, their next apparatus.

The USA had taken the lead from Russia for the first time in the history of women's team gymnastics. The girls re-powdered their hands, as they got ready for warm-ups on beam. They were happy to be in first place, but knew there were still 3 more rotations for them to compete in. It was a bit odd, though heavily favorites on balance beam, this was where last night, caused the girls many problems, with many balance checks from each girl. Kimberly was performing her dismount and popped out earlier, stepping back several steps. Kimberly looked at the beam as she walked back. She went to the side to do her flipping sequence on the flat ground. Kimberly ended her 3 back walkovers with a layout. She held her hands high.

Dominique just performed a front tuck on the beam. Romanians were on floor. Amy Chow was taken off this rotation and Amanda was put in. Amy sat in a chair, cheering her girls on. Amanda was first up, because she was solid and a great starter to set the stage. She looked ever so confident without any balance checks and though she didn't have exciting elements like from Moceanu, Shannon or Kimberly. It was best to just be on and not fall off. Amanda did her job, landing her double back tuck with a slight hop. She patted DD back as she got ready next. Kerri followed next, perfect like DD, then came Kimberly's turn. She told at the line taking deep breaths. She just fell off beam less than 24 hours ago. The whole team was shaky a bit when she fell because Kimberly looked at though she wanted to cry as she continued on, but she did finish it her routine with a perfect stuck landing, but the damage had been done.

"Let's go Kimberly!" Shannon yelled. Kimberly raised her arms up to the judges.

"Go Kimberly!" Kimberly ran down to beam with a punch front onto the beam. The crowd cheered. Kimberly did a few dance moves with her arms before she went right into her sequence, in which she fell on. 3 back handsprings into a full layout. She was on this time with a smile.

"Go Kimberly!" The girls cheered.

Kimberly did some leaps and moved down to perform some lower beam work. She performed her signature move, 'The Hart' to lift herself back upright on beam before going into a series of leap jumps. Kimberly had 2 more bad memories to overcome. Her single spin, which she had a terrible pause on, but tonight, Kim hit it. Kimberly eyed her dismount. The crowd screaming, but everything around Kimberly seemed quiet. A bell rang giving the gymnast 10 seconds to finish their exercise. Kimberly did a cartwheel into a back flip into her double Arabian tuck. She landed perfectly. Kimberly rushed off, as it was Dominique's turn. They hugged before Kimberly went over to the other girls. Shannon smiled and hugged Kimberly.

"That's the way to win it, champ."

"Thanks." Coach Bella called Kimberly over and had a huge hug for her.

"That's my girl! Woohoo! That's the way to stick it!" Kimberly smiled as he let her go with a kiss on the forehead. Coach Bella was the same for his girls Kerri and Dominique Moceanu. As hard ass as he tends to be, he was really a calming feature for the women's team with his wife. Kimberly's eyes found Tommy. He nodded at her with a smile as he clapped. Kimberly smiled and nodded back. Everyone else was waving at Kimberly. She waved back.

After the finish of beam, Shannon earning top scores with Kimberly, the American team was still in the lead after 2 rotations with a high score of 291.641, nearly half a point, 0.497 ahead of Russia. Romania followed by China. Ukraine knocked off the last rotation. The USA team moved to floor. DD, Amanda, Dominique, Shannon, Kimberly, and finally Kerri to end it. DD started with a very high score of 9.750. Amanda was next, and though she had only one scary part, her opening tumbling run, Arabian double tuck, she was great as well. Dominique brought the house to its feet with her floor exercise to cheers of fun and joy earning a 9.837 to "Devil Went Down to Georgia" musical selection. There was nothing stopping or standing in the way of the girls, they were on fire!

Kimberly hugged Shannon as she came off from floor. Shannon just had one slight mishap on her first pass, the double layout, she landed short and had to pop out, other than that, Shannon scored a high 9.625. The crowd wondering if that broke the American's momentum with Kimberly coming up next. Kimberly took deep breaths as she closed her eyes to envision her floor routine. She had done this routine a million times now, yet it seem like, none as pressure packed as right now, this very moment.

"Let's go Kimberly!"

"Go Kimberly!"

Kimberly walked to the floor mat, the second to last to go. Her eyes caught Tommy's again. Kimberly slightly paused before going into her stance. 'This is for you tiger.' The music started for Kimberly's performance and Kimberly was on. Her first pass came with a double Arabian tuck straight into her second pass, a triple twist. Tommy was the first to jump from his seat as she landed each perfectly. Kimberly's third tumbling pass, as series of front flips into a front twist. For the last climatic 30 seconds of the selected musical piece, Kimberly did a final 2 passes, double pike and double layout, landing her double layout at the climatic end. She brought her hands together as she did at the end of Nationals and Olympic Trials to a standing ovation. Kimberly smiled as she walked off the mat, waving in circles to the crowd for their applause. All the girls rushed to hug her immediately.

"That was wonderful Kim!"

"Way to go Kim!"

"Yay Kim!" The crowd went quiet for the marks, but after 2 minutes, nothing came up. Tommy led the crowd with '10! 10! Kimberly! 10!' Kimberly walked around waiting for her scores.

"What's going on?" Kimberly asked.

"I don't know."

"Why are they talking so long?"

"It was that good, maybe they are still stunned," Amanda said. Kimberly laughed.

After Kimberly's magnificent performance on floor, bringing the crowd to their feet much like when Dominique performed to 'The Devil Went Down To Georgia' earning some house praise, Kerri was last up on floor, but had a long wait as the judges got together on evaluating Kimberly's performance. There was a judges' conference to discuss Kim's floor routine. Kimberly stood with the other girls waiting for the scoreboard, but nothing came. Kimberly was shaky with worry. Finally a score of 9.900 flashed on screen. Kimberly let out a gasp, as some screamed to her amazingly high score. A 10 was unheard of Olympic sport after the great Nadia Comaneci, but a 9.9 was just as perfect.

Everyone wondered with the long wait would this break Kerri's momentum and concentrations, but she came out with that bang that all the girls seem to wear tonight. With all eyes only on her, Kerri ended her floor with a huge smile after landing her full twisting double tuck. The crowd jumped to their feet. American girls were in first place still with their combined score of 340.677, in top spot to win a gold medal and a 0.897 lead over Russia. All the girls hugged each other before running to congratulate Kerri on her great performance.

"Way to go Kerri!"

"Thanks!" Kimberly hugged Kerri last, handing her duffle bag. "One more to go."

"One more to," Kimberly said. The girls lined up and head for their final apparatus.

The last stop for the USA girls was vault. First up, Amy Chow, DD, Shannon, Dominique, Kerri and finally Kimberly would anchor tonight's competition. Coach Bella felt she had earned it and Shannon made sure of it. As the girls got ready for vault, Kimberly was rubbing her hands together. Her family friends feeling like just steps away, since their seats were just in front of the vault portion in the gym. Kimberly smiled and waved to them. Russia was on floor where the American had just left, needing to be perfect, absolutely perfect and the Americans to falter on vault in order to win gold. For the vault, each girl had to perform 2 vaults, but instead of taking the combine score of the 2 vaults, only one vault score would be chosen to add to the overall team score. The girls were 6 performances away from team gold at the 1996 Olympic Games.

Amy was first. And just like the start of Compulsories for the American girls, it was bang, bang, bang! DD followed with 2 perfect vaults, having to take her 9.762 and dropping her 9.700.

"Come on Shannon!" Shannon was next and made up for her slight mishap on floor with 2 more great vaults, earning a 9.700 and 9.637. Dominique Moceanu came next. She only needed a 9.743 for the team to be a lock and take team gold medal.

It was as if the air was taken out of the Georgia Dome was they watched Dominique sit down on her vault after just getting a 9.643 on her first vault. Dominique got a 9.137 on that vault. Bella groaned.

"It's okay, Domi." Dominique nodded. All the girls hugged her to console their young gymnast. It was Kerri's turn on vault. They still needed a 9.743 from Kimberly or Kerri to win. Kerri eyed her first vault. All the girls gasped in shock. The crowd groaned and gasped when it happened again. Kerri landed on her butt as Dominique just did. 2 falls back-to-back. But Kerri looked as though she had really hurt herself, as she flexed her ankle.

"Come on Kerri!"

"You can do it Kerri!" After that fall, Kimberly would have to score a 9.743 or better to guarantee an American gold finish. Kerri limped her way back down the ramp.

"You can do it! You can do it!" Kerri landed her second vault, but immediately drops her knees in pain from her ankle from the pain. All the girls wanted to rush to help their fallen gymnast. Trainers rushed to Kerri's side to check her out. Kimberly had tears in her eyes as Kerri was being examined.

"Kimberly, you have to go!" Kimberly shook her head. "Kimberly, go!"

"Don't worry about her, go!" Kimberly waited as Kerri was carried from the vault mat passed her. Tears running down her face. Kerri made the trainer stopped before Kimberly. Kerri took Kim's hand.

"You go and win this, okay! Win this for the team and don't worry about me. Go Kimberly!" Kimberly nodded. Kerri was taken backstage to have her foot examined better. Her ankle was swaddled in ace bandages and a plastic brace. Kimberly walked to the line with tears rolling down her face. Her vision for the vault blurred. Kimberly was trying to stop herself from crying as she flexed and tried to concentrate on doing her vault. Kimberly was seconds from turning and walking away from the line when she heard a familiar yell.

"I love you Kimberly! I believe in you!" Kimberly gasped and looked to the stand. Tommy's voice rang louder than the cheer. He was standing up right by the railing. "I love you! I will always love you! You can do it, Kimberly! Now do it!" Kimberly smiled with tears rolling down her face. Kimberly turned back to the judges. She raised her arms to the judges. Kimberly took a deep breath before she ran down the ramp to the vault.

It was as if someone turned off the sound in the Georgia Dome was Kimberly flipped her way through the air. She eyed the landed with her half twist after her double front. After taking a step back, Kimberly held her arms held. The crowd jumped in cheers. Though she didn't land perfectly, she did land it. The scoreboard flashed 9.767.

The crowd went crazy!

American girls had just taken the gold medal and everyone knew it. Kimberly still had one more vault to finish, though that score did matter. Kimberly landed her second vault, without the step from her first, the crowd erupted in a roar after everything seem to go quiet as Kimberly was running down the ramp. It was dramatic finish, but the US women beat Russia for team gold. Tommy was allowed to leave the stands and rushed over to the edge. Kimberly was being hugged by all the girls, though their minds on Kerri, still in the backstage. Kimberly pulled away and ran up to the stands. Tommy held his hands out for her.

"You did it, Beautiful!" Kimberly didn't care about the security as she climbed up with help from Tommy. They kissed and hugged. The crowd was chanting 'USA' over and over.

"I couldn't have done without you," Kimberly said.

"Yeah you could, but it wouldn't have been this fun." Kimberly smiled.

"I love you. I always will." Tommy hugged Kimberly tight again.

"I love you too, Beautiful." The Georgia Dome filled with confetti pouring down from the skies in red, white and blue in celebration for the American gymnastic team taking the team gold medal. Tommy and Kimberly looked up as the confetti fell around them. The U.S. finished with a two-day total of 389.225 points, just ahead of second-place Russia (388.404) and third-place Romania (388.246).

"Go get your medal." Kimberly cupped his face and kissed him. Cameras flashing around them. A coach and trainer helped Kimberly down. Kimberly was stopped by a few new reporters.

"How does it feel to be on the first American gymnastic team to win Olympic gold?"

"Feels great, really great! This is just amazing! I want to first thank God for giving me the ability and courage to stand up here and do what I just did. To my amazing girls, the magnificent 7, we did it! Yay! And my parents of course, for all their love of creating me and raising me to be the girl that stands before you all. To all my bestest friends back from home, that are here now, Aisha, Trini, Jason, Zack, Adam, Rocky, Tanya, Katherine, everyone, oh and, Billy. Sorry Bill, love you all! Blaine, our coaches, Bella, thanks for everything. And finally, to the one person who I love completely. To the only true man that I call the love of my life, Tommy. Thank you, so much for everything. I wouldn't be standing here without you, I really love you. I just want to thank everyone for their support and love. I really appreciate it all."

"Thank you Kimberly." Kimberly nodded. The girls rushed to hug again. The girls all hugged one another, thought wondering still about Kerri. All the girls went to put on their USA jackets and pants.

Kerri was in pain, though having gotten treatment in back. It was a moderate sprain, and she would be questionable for the individual competitions coming in the next few days. When the blue curtains parted and the U.S. team grandly marched back out onto the stadium floor. Coach Bella carried Kerri behind the other girls as they walked to the stands for the medal ceremony. Kimberly and Shannon helped Kerri up to few steps to stand with the other 4 girls. The girls waved to the flash of camera and cry of the crowd. The girls got gold medals and flower bouquets first as champions. Amanda first, followed by DD, Amy, Dominique, Shannon, Kerri and finally Kimberly. They waved to the crowd. Kimberly held her gold medal in her hands in awe. It was heavier than it looked. No American gymnastic team, men or women, had ever won gold at any Olympics. And this magnificent 7 were now in the record books. Kimberly waved to her family and friends. Tommy stood clapping with the rest. The American national anthem came on. All the girls stood proudly with their hands over their hearts and tears in their eyes.

Kimberly found all her friends and family waiting for her. They gave her hugs and kisses immediately.

"You were great out there!" Trini said looking at her gold medal.

"Thanks! I'm so happy all of you are here to share this with me."

"Let's go eat!" Rocky said. Everyone laughed. Kimberly wore her Olympic gold medal around her waist as they went out for dinner. She wasn't taking it off just yet.

"So, how does it feel?" Aisha said.

"I don't know, I don't think it has sunk in yet."

"It will and when it does, she's gonna scream." Kimberly laughed at Jason.

As the food arrived, Kimberly looked at the strawberry shortcake and ice cream. It had finally hit her. Tears started falling from her eyes. She turned to Tommy and hugged him. Tommy somewhat taken back, but held her. Kim's mother smiled and rubbed her back. Tommy kissed the top of her head.

"How?"

"How what, Beautiful?"

"Everything. I don't see how I got this far." Tommy wiped her face. "It seems like all a dream." Rocky reached over and pinched Kim's arm. "OW!" Aisha hit him upside the head.

"Ow!" Rocky rubbed his head. "Well, there. See, you're not dreaming," Rocky said. Kimberly laughed.

"Thank you all, so very much. I've couldn't have gotten here or done anything without you all. I love you; I love you all so much."

"We love you too."

"I don't even think that's enough for what…you all…" Tommy hushed her with a kiss.

"We know, Beautiful. A smile and your tears right now are enough gratification." Kimberly smiled and kissed him again.

"Look at me, such a baby."

"Yeah, but an Olympian baby." Kimberly laughed.

"Wow, I have everything, I've wanted and more to last a lifetime."

"You still have all-around individual, and individual event finals to come."

"Yeah, I do. After a bit of rest for tomorrow to let this all soak all in, I can focus on that."

"We expected gold Kim," Jason said. Trini shook her head.

"Don't listen to him, just give your best."

"I will." Kimberly yawned. "Oh, I'm soo sorry, but I feel…"

"Tired?" Kimberly nodded to Tommy. "I'll take her back, you guys can stay."

"Okay." Tommy and Kimberly got up from the table while the others enjoyed their dinner. Kimberly gave kisses to all on her way out the door.

As they exited, flashes blinded them, as the media was taking pictures of Kimberly. Tommy shielded her as they got into the car. Kimberly turned on the water in the shower, letting steam fill the cold room. Stepping into the shower, she lets the hot water run down her back as she washes her hair. After tonight's win, all she wanted was a nice long shower and a big bed to snuggle with the man she loves. Tommy came into the bedroom and found the water running in the shower. He walked into the bathroom, and could see her naked shadow through the white curtain. Tommy smiled and quickly stripped down to nothing. He quietly opened in and slipped in, grabbing her as she is rinsing her hair. Kimberly let out a gasp and quickly tried to pull away. Tommy held her tight and kissed her cheek, before laughing a little bit.

"Where do you think you're going?" Tommy asked playfully.

"Umm, nowhere now I guess." Kimberly laughed.

"That's what I thought," Tommy said as he planted soft kisses down her neck as he runs his hands over her soft wet body. Kimberly turned to face him, and smiles before kissing his mouth and hugging him.

"How do you feel Ms. Olympian?"

"I don't know, ask me tomorrow." They kissed again. "I never could have gotten here without you."

"I know."

"I'm serious Tommy. You are my strength."

"And you are my strength, my happiness, my joy, my love."

"I need you to do something for me."

"Anything."

"Stand with me, when I compete for the all-around."

"I wouldn't be anywhere else." Kimberly smiled.

After a long shower, Kimberly wrapped her towel around her and brushed her teeth, as Tommy stood behind her brushing his. Tommy lifted Kimberly to the sink counter. Kimberly laughed as he kissed her neck immediately. Their toothbrushes dropped to the ground. Kimberly smiled.

"So, I'm guessing another shower is in order." Tommy nodded and unhooked her towel and she undid his towel. Tommy was now leaning up against the sink, as Kimberly was between legs, holding his neck and slightly rubbing his cheek as they kissed. One of Tommy's hands was at her lower back, while the other came up to her shoulder, to help deepen their kissing. Soft moans elevated from the bathroom. Kimberly pulled away slowly, breathing just as hard as Tommy. She looked up into his eyes and he softly kissed her forehead. Tommy lifted Kim up into his arms and slid into her. Kimberly and Tommy made love. They kissed passionately. The back of Kim's head pressed against the mirror as Tommy thrusted up deep inside her. They kissed harshly with each thrust. Long, deep thrust came over and over, neither wanting to lost their magically connection. Tommy buried himself inside Kimberly to the hilt and rests there, allowing her inner walls to caress him, torture him, drive him completely out of his mind. Kimberly's body shook as he did it over and over, burying himself deep inside her and staying there for a moment. Tommy bent down and kissed her on the lips.

"Tommy!" Kimberly let out a scream as her orgasm rippled through her. Her head hit against the mirror. Tommy stayed deep inside her through it before thrusting fast inside her a few times before the climax overtakes him and he came hard and deep inside her.

"Oh Kim."

Few days later

Kimberly woke up just right before the sun was about to rise. She shook Tommy. They had seen the sunset many times in each other's arms, but never a sunrise.

"Tommy, look, isn't it beautiful?"

"Almost as much as much you, almost," Tommy said kissing the side of her face. "Come on, let's get you some breakfast. You have a big night ahead." Kimberly nodded.

Day 9 of the Olympic Games, the Georgia Dome will filled to the maximum yet again for the individual all-around finals. The top 15 girls were competing in the Olympic individual finals tonight. Kimberly had a tough competition between herself, Svetlana Khorkina and Lilia Podkopayeva. Rocky was filming as Tommy stood at the sidelines as Kimberly stood for her vault. Dressed in her red suit, with blue sparkles across the chest, Kimberly eyed her vault from the sidelines after a gymnast just finished.

"You can do it Kim! Start us with a bang!" Kimberly smiled at Tommy. She walked up to the line. Kimberly did her first vault, earning a 9.700 with her double front and half twist. Kimberly had to keep that vault score, since her second vault was only a 9.475 after her near sit down to the landing of her second vault. Kimberly moved to her second rotation, bars. She was in third place. Tommy helped Kimberly with her hand grips.

"You okay?" Tommy asked.

"Yeah."

"Then get those nerves out of your system and just do it."

"Easier said than done, this is the Olympics."

"No, this is just you and 3 more routines you have done a million times over. Just do them like you have trained them." Kimberly nodded and kissed Tommy before going to the uneven bars. Kimberly blew on her hands to remove some powder before she closed her eyes as she stood next to the lower bar.

"Let's go Kimberly!" Kerri yelled. Kimberly smiled slightly before she opened her eyes. She turned to the judges. Kimberly swung herself onto the lower bar before doing her release move to shear perfection. Landed with her arms high. Kimberly got a 9.867. Pushing her up to the tops. Kimberly needed to hit her last 2 routines just as great as she hit bars.

Tommy was holding the bottle of water for Kimberly was she was nearly last up for beam. Kimberly powdered her hands and performed her 4-combination sequence of back flips on the ground before him.

"Just like that, just hit it like that. Watch your toes and no checks. Stand firm. Chin up." Kimberly nodded. She rotated her neck as Tommy massaged her shoulders. "I believe in you, Beautiful." Kimberly looked back at him and touched his hands.

"I know." Kimberly moved toward the beam for her turn. She smiled at the judges to indicate she was ready. Kimberly did a punch front onto the beam. She was on. Kimberly did a few dance steps and did her simple spin. Kimberly did more dance steps before she went into her leap series. Bam, bam, bam! Her feet hit the beam from each jump perfect, not one bobble or pause.

"Nice, nice Kimberly," Tommy yelled from the sidelines. Kimberly stood at the end of the beam for her sequence of flips. She did her 3 back handsprings into her single layout. The crowd clapped. Kimberly did her lower beam work. The crowd cheered her signature move, 'The Hart' as she lifted herself back upright. The only thing left was Kimberly's dismount. She stood at the end of the beam and looked ahead. Kimberly took a deep breath before she cartwheeled into her back handspring into her double Arabian. Kimberly landed in a squatted position, but her feet were planted the mat, not moving as she stood up with her hands held high. T0mmy jumped up, high fiving the first person next to him. Kimberly smiled and rushed off the mat to the ground. Tommy lifted her into a hug.

"You did it Beautiful! You did it!" Tommy put Kimberly down. She wiped away a tear she didn't even know had formed. Kimberly eyed the scoreboard. 9.925 appeared. Kim's eyes widen. Tommy lifted her back into another hug. "One more baby!"

Kimberly stood next to the floor mat. She knew what she had to do to win all-around gold. Just land each tumbling pass, in bounds. All Kimberly needed was a 9.667 or better to win. She could do that. Kimberly wiped away from chalk on the floor with her foot. She was second to last up on floor. Kimberly rubbed her hands as she waited on the judges. Kimberly wiped her cheek and moved some strands of hair from her face. Kimberly looked back at Tommy with a smile as she waited.

"I love you, Beautiful. You can do it. Just one more." Kimberly nodded. The judges' flag was raised. Kimberly stepped onto the mat. Kimberly had to ante up her floor routine to ensure top marks, though it was already worth a 10. Kimberly moved around 2 passes. She started as normal with her Arabian double front, adding a half twist like her vault. But instead of her second pass being a triple twist, Kimberly changed it to the series of simple front flips ending with a front full twist. Tommy clapped as she landed both of her opening passes with ease. Kimberly went into her dance choreography before eyeing her third pass, a very difficult triple twist. Tommy nearly grimaced as Kimberly barely made it around for her triple twist, but still landed it. Somehow, she got her body around for that last twist. The climatic part of the classical theme song signaling the end was coming. Kimberly danced around before staring down her final 2 passes. Kimberly landed her double layout with a punch front layout to perfection. She danced around, before dropping to her knees as she spun around. Kimberly stood up with her hands in a fist to her chest, breathing hard. Kimberly smiled and waved to the crowd. Tommy and Kimberly hugged and waited on the score. Dozens of cameras surround the happy couple.

A 10 flashed on the red scoreboard. Kimberly gasped. Tommy let out a yell and lifted her up into his arms again. Tommy spun Kimberly around as she hugged him. Kimberly started crying as she hugged him. Her face buried in his neck. Tommy stopped spinning them and just held Kimberly as she cried.

"Oh, you make me so proud, Beautiful." Tommy slowly put Kimberly down to her feet. She wiped her face as she laughed. Kimberly's laughs turned back into cries. Tommy pulled her to his chest and hugged her tight. Kimberly finally pulled away from Tommy's chest. "Had me worried you wouldn't pull that triple twist out, I have to say."

"Well, I always have to keep you on your feet," Kimberly said with a smile. Shannon, Dominique and the other girls rushed over to congratulate Kimberly. Blaine not far behind them. Tommy lifted Kimberly back into his arms.

"You did it!"

"I had, of course I did it." They kissed to the sound of camera clicking repeatedly.

In all it was a great Olympic for the young Kimberly Hart. She earned gold in team competition, all-around women's champion, floor and beam gold. She was happy to tie with Shannon Miller on beam, since Shannon didn't have such a good all-around competition. Amy Chow took home a surprising gold on uneven bars. Kimberly won bronze behind Russian goddess, Svetlana Khorkina. Kimberly had wanted a full set, hoping to take silver on vault, but fell out of medal contention with a 4th place finish in the individual vault finals.

"Can't win them all," Kimberly said to Tommy after she finished her vault.

"Hey, 5 medals, 4 gold, don't get greedy Beautiful." Kimberly smiled. They hugged.

The Olympic Gala, an exhibition show came after all the gold medals were handed out the last days of the Olympic Games before the Closing Night Ceremony. The ladies had to change their performances because of Kerri's injury. Their exhibition team performance was to end the evening after all the great individual athletics performed. Kimberly was called for many encore performances from beam and floor. The girls performed to musical selections of songs starting with from 'John Tess' as they moved to the floor mat, each with their own entrance dance. The next song to begin, 'Georgia On My Mind' by Ray Charles. The girls danced around in a circle, doing simple leaps and flips in sync to the music. 'YMCA' came loud on next. That got the crowd into it as they stood in a line. The girls were having fun, just being teenagers as they performed the YMCA.

The girls moved off the floor to the other exercises around the gym. Kimberly and Shannon stood by the beam getting the crowd into it. Amy and DD by the bars, Amanda, and Dominique by the vault, Kerri still at the floor. They were all smiling and laughing at each other. The next music was a surprising piece, but DD new favorite tune, the "Macarena" filled the Dome. All the girls ran back to the floor mat as they went into the dance steps to the silly song Macarena. Each girl doing a back flip at the end of 'Hey, Macarena!' They stood in a circle to the crowd before rushing over to do some final exercises on different apparatuses. Kimberly and Shannon were on beam, performing together to 'Proud to Be An American' (God Bless the USA) song since there was more than one beam up. The girls ran back to the floor mat at the end. They all performed together on the floor mat, before standing tall with their hands on over their hearts. The crowd clapped in cheer. The girls waved to the crowd. The Russian men, who took hold gold medal in the team came over to the girls with bouquets and kiss on the cheeks. Aleksei Nemov picked up Kimberly high, and twirled her in a circle to wave to the crowd before he held her on his shoulder. Her tears before her run in the team's final and her tearful face as Tommy held her in his arms when she finished floor knowing she had won were edged in everyone's memory. The 2 teams stood in a line waving to the crowd in the end. They took hands and bowed to the crowd. Kimberly found Tommy standing in the crowd. She blew a kiss to him. Kimberly went over to Tommy.

"How does it feel now Ms. Olympian?" Tommy asked with a huge smile.

"I think Mrs Oliver is the only thing that will top this." Tommy held up her engagement ring.

"Good, because I am tired of holding this for you." Kimberly smiled as Tommy slid the diamond ring to her finger. She couldn't wear it while competing, but gladly put it on now. "I love you Tommy."

"I love you too, Beautiful. Always and forever."

"Always and forever." They hugged and kissed. Things were as they were always meant to be. Soulmates together forever.
