Sam felt a sharp pain in her stomach and then she felt grass? Sam lifted her head an inch or so from the ground; she was home. She saw the holding chamber that Mesogog had put her friends in. She saw her dad holding something, no it was someone. He must have killed her, Sam thought as she tenderly got up. She had to get her friends out of that chamber before her dad got to it. If he stepped inside it would zap him and then all of the Rangers would die. Sam gingerly made her way over to her dad and the chamber. When she close enough she heard her dad crying. He was holding her, rocking her back and forth, and crying. Sam smiled; he would be in for the shock of his life when he found out the truth. When Sam got closer to her dad she looked at him and said, "Daddy?"

When Tommy heard his daughters' voice he looked down at the lifeless body in his arms. His littler girl's eyes were closed and a little blood was trickling out of the corner of her mouth. New tears formed in his eyes as he thought about what he had done. Then he heard it again. "Daddy, I'm okay." Tommy looked up and saw Sam?! He sputtered and dropped the body in his arms. He looked from his dead daughter to the one standing in front of him. Was she making a visit like Kim had?

"Sam?"

"It's okay dad. I'm fine."

"But I just killed you."

"No you didn't. You freed me from a terrible prison."

"I don't understand."

"I know just let me get the others out and then I will explain."

Tommy watched as Sam 2 stepped over to Sam 1 and take something from her pocket. She then went over to the chamber and stuck the key in. As she unlocked the chamber Tommy saw four cocoons, each glowing a different color. Behind them was what appeared to be a bucket. He saw Sam take Saba and strike the bucket. Power rushed out and back into the cocoons. He then saw Sam press her thumb to a plate and watched as the cocoons disappeared along with the chamber. Before the Rangers could fall Sam telekinetically caught them and gently placed them on the grass. She then pulled out a bottle of dust and sprinkled a little on each Ranger. Before his very eyes each of his students came to life. As they stirred Tommy watched as Sam went to each one and checked their pulse. The moment their eyes opened however Sam quickly got away. As they sat up they looked around and Ethan said, "Man I feel like a ton of bricks just hit me." From somewhere behind him Tommy heard Sam say, "That will get better." All the Rangers got up quickly and assumed the attack position. Sam just stood there and looked at them calmly. "I don't want to fight you guys." Trent laughed and replied, "No? What were you saying about me being the only Ranger to put up a fight." Sam hung her head and said, "You guys have been had." Tommy looked at his daughter and asked, "What do you mean?" Sam took a deep breath and began to explain. "At the New Year's Eve party, after we had talked dad, I was really upset. I began downing sparkling cider and I didn't realize that someone had spiked it. When I went outside to get some fresh air I met Zeltrax and about thirty tyrannodrones. I tried to use my powers, but I got this piercing pain in my head. When I woke up I was in Mesogog's lab tied down again. When I tired to use my powers again I got the same pain. He then had Zeltrax bring out a power sucking chamber. Once they threw me in I tried desperately to get out. I even tried my coin, but they had taken it. That's when I saw a movement in the corner. I looked up and saw myself holding a needle. So the person who has been with you is my evil clone."

Sam looked around at the faces of her friend and her dad. They all looked so surprised, but they weren't speechless. To no ones surprise Ethan was the first to speak. "So you're not evil?" Sam smiled at him and replied, "No I'm not and to be absolutely clear I can never be evil." Conner looked at her and asked, "Why?" "Because of my parents. I have so much good energy in me that I can't be turned evil. I have to choose it." Kira was the next to ask a question. "Well wouldn't your clone be just as good?" Sam shook her head and replied, "No they took the smallest part of me to clone. Do you remember the hair they took? Well they chopped of the follicle and cloned it. My goodness is throughout me, if you were to take a small piece of me it would have less good in it than a bigger piece, which is more susceptible to evil than a bigger piece." Trent still looked skeptical and asked, "How do we know that you aren't another evil clone." Sam smiled and walked up to her dad, she took out her necklace and held the key in her hand. "I have a key. It doesn't unlock a chest or door. It unlocks something a lot more. This is something that you want very much from me. And I'm giving it to you. What does it go to?"

Tommy smiled as he heard Sam recite the poem he had written for Kim the day he gave her the key. He looked at her and replied, "My heart." Sam smiled and then she ran into his arms and hugged him with a ferocity only a daughter who hadn't seen her dad in years could. Tommy closed his eyes and just held on to his daughter. Thanking God that he had done the right thing. When they parted Sam said, "If you still don't believe me you can have Haley run diagnostics on me. If I was another clone she would be able to tell you." Tommy looked down at Sam and said, "Sounds like a plan." Tommy, Sam, and the others made their way to the house and into the Command Center. Tommy put Sam in a crystal cage, just in case, and began the test. Within thirty minutes they got the results back. "She's clear." Tommy announced to his team. They all smiled at Sam and said, "Welcome back." Sam bounded out of the cage and hugged each of her friends. Tommy smiled. It was good to have his daughter back. As they all sat down to discuss what had just happened Tommy said, "I feel like such an idiot. I should have known that you were a clone. I am your father after all" Sam smiled at him and replied, "No from the moment she was born she studied every aspect of my life. There was only a small possibility that you would have known without her coming out and saying it." Tommy smiled at Sam she was right, but that still didn't make him feel any better about being doped. "So Sam did Mesogog tell you anything about other plans?" Sam shook her head and replied, "No, he was so sure that this one would work." Tommy laughed and said, "Well I propose a celebratory dinner. Reefside is safe, the real Sam is back, and we just kicked butt." The Rangers laughed as they followed him upstairs. Once everyone was around the table Tommy pulled out his cell phone and called for pizza. They sat and talked pleasantly until the pizza arrived. As they were eating Tommy saw Sam and Conner's 'secret' glances. For some reason it didn't bother him as much now as it would have. Tommy didn't know how to explain it, but then again he really didn't want to. After dinner was over Tommy and Sam said goodnight to everyone and went upstairs. Tommy then sent Sam straight to the shower to get cleaned up. The clone had taken her clothes in the attack and left her with some torn up rags, that couldn't even constituted as clothes. Sam kissed him on the cheek and headed into her room. Tommy sighed and then went into his room. After he had changed into his pajamas he turned the lights out and got into bed. The soft bed did wonders for his aching muscles and in no time he was fast asleep.

Sam felt refreshed as she got out of the shower. As she came out of the bathroom she went to her dresser and grabbed a green t-shirt with a pink heart on it and a pair of red pajama pants with white hearts all over them. After she was done changing, Sam twirled her long hair into a messy bun, turned off the lights, and got into bed. Sam sighed and put her face into her pillow. It felt so good to be home and in her own bed. Sam cuddled up with her blanket and let sleep take her. Just as she was beginning to drift Sam heard something outside her window. She bolted up and grabbed her power coin. Would Zeltrax attack at her house in the middle of the night? Aww come on don't villains need sleep too, Sam thought as she got out of her bed and positioned herself in the attack position. Whoever was outside her window was going to get a rude awakening when they came in. Sam crouched down for what seemed like minutes, so she went to the window and opened it. The next thing she knew someone was sitting on top of her with both of her hands pinned under their one and another hand over her mouth. As Sam tried to struggle against the stranger she caught sight of something shinny on his wrist. Sam freed one of her hands, pushed the hand over her mouth away, and said, "Conner?" He shifted and Sam was able to see in the moonlight that it was Conner.

"Conner what are you doing here?"

"I had to talk to you."

"You had the chance to talk to me earlier this evening."

"No this is something personal."

"Well could you kinda get off of me?"

"Yeah, sorry."

Conner stood up and then held a hand out to help Sam up. Sam gladly took his hand and once she was standing she went to sit on the edge of her bed. Conner followed her and once he was situated he turned and looked at her.

"So, what did you want to ask me?"

"Did you see what the clone did?"

Sam hung her head and chuckled a bit.

"You mean did I see what the clone did to you?"

"Yeah."

"Everything the clone heard or saw or did, so did I."

"So you saw how she trapped me."

"Yes."

"Well then I guess I better be going."

Conner stood up and made to leave, but Sam grabbed his arm.

"Conner wait, you have to know why she did that."

"Oh believe me I know why."

"Do you? Because I don't think you do."

"Sam…"

"No she did it to torment me."

"You? Why?"

"Why? Hell Conner maybe because I like. Maybe because she mistook my feelings of like for lust."

"You mean you have a little thing for me?"

"No, big thing. I have liked for a long time."

"Really?"

"Yeah and if I'm not mistaken you like me too."

"How could you tell."

"Because, when she attacked you you didn't push her off. You let her kiss you."

"Yeah because I thought she was you."

"Why can't we get this right?"

"I don't know."

Before Sam could even think another thought Conner gently placed his lips over hers. In that one moment Sam felt like she could fly.

Tommy felt like he was flying, high above the earth. When he landed he took a look around. He was in a beautiful garden with all sorts of different plants. Under a large oak tree was a stone bench and on the stone bench was,

"Kim?"

"Hello Tommy, it's good to see you again."

"Am I dead?"

Kim laughed before replying, "No, your in a place where the living and the dead can talk. It's kinda like limbo."

Tommy scratched his head and took the seat next to Kim. He looked around once again. "What is this place?"

"My garden, I come here to tend my plants and to watch over my loved ones."

"Oh well I guess you saw what happened today then."

"Yes and that's why I helped you out."

"What do you mean?"

"Do you remember hearing a voice when you were battling the clone?"

"Was that you?"

"Yes, I knew that if you saw her as a monster you wouldn't have a problem killing her."

"How did you know she was a clone."

"Thomas Oliver, I am with Sam every step of every day of her life. I was there when they switched her. I was there as the clone took down each Ranger. I was there when you freed her."

"Yeah, about that. How did I free her?"

"Sam and the clone had a psychic connection. That's how the clone was telekinetic. She drew her powers from the real Sam; Sam was basically her puppet. When you killed the clone the connection was broken and Sam was able to move for herself."

"Oh well that's simple."

"Oh we're not done mister. I have bone to pick with you about a certain event at New Year's."

"I was hoping you hadn't seen that."

"Tommy, Sam is your daughter in every way possible. Just so you know, she has taken heartbreak before. Her freshman boyfriend, Brandon. He cheated on her with her best friend. You know what Sam did?"

"No what?"

"She said 'his lose, I don't want a loser like that anyway.' She just bounced right back. Our daughter is very strong. So don't go interfering with her and Conner. Just let the relationship run it's course."

"But what if…?"

"Tommy we could what if this thing to death. No one can predict the future and so you shouldn't try."

"I just don't want to see her get hurt again."

"Then protect her from the things that are really bad. Then, sometimes, let her find out on her own. She'll learn quicker that way. We just have to believe that things will work out like they should. The only thing we can do is love her unconditionally."

"I do, I love her so much. With all my heart and soul."

"Then show her, don't just say it."

"Thanks, Kim."

"Your welcome Tommy. Now go and show her."

Tommy walked towards the light that had appeared and woke up in his room. He then carefully crept down the hall to Sam's room.

Sam broke the kiss apart the moment she had sensed that her dad was coming. "If he finds you hear he'll kill you. Go." Conner made to leave, but before he did he turned around and asked, "Sam do you want go out Friday night?" Sam smiled softly and replied, "That would be wonderful. Now go, before he kills you." Conner disappeared out her window. Sam's head hit the pillow just as her dad opened the door. He stood in the door and just watched her 'sleeping'. He stood there for like six minutes before he said, "Love you Sam." As he turned his back Sam sat up and said, "I love you more, daddy." Sam laid back down and went to sleep with a smile on her face and her dad did the same.

Now did you guys really think I would kill Sam. I hope that you all enjoyed that little surprise and enjoyed the sequel. I want to thank Lavonne Adams and Gina Star, without whose comments on His Weakness this story wouldn't have been possible. Thanks guys for giving my imagination the good kick it needed. I also want to thank everyone for reading and reviewing. Catch ya'll on the flip side and may the power protect you, see ya
