A/N: I don't have to much to say leading into this chapter, just that I start school Monday (ugh College is not fun sometimes) and so updates will slow down, but I will finish this story. This is just a fair warning ahead of time to be prepared for everything that's going to happen in my life. The only thing I really want to mention I guess is that I really dislike Katherine so there's not going to be much from her character at all. If I could I would exile her but that's just really mean. No flame on my dislike for her. Remember this is MY story I can do whatever I want to her. There will be a break up coming soon. There isn't going to be a Rocky, Kim relationship it just happened because I see Rocky as the kind of person who can be easy to lean on and trust not to tell.

Oh Yea I LOVE reviews as long as they aren't flames, well rounded comments are good though, they make me a better writer. Also if there's things you'd like so see in my stories please let me know.

Nikkitan89: thanks for being the first review of the last chapter!

Wen: glad you like it!

Jps1926: well it actually was a dream of sorts I had, me as the Pink Ranger returning so I knew it had to be a story. I just don't see Katherine as much of a person as Kim and so yea.

Chapter Five

I wasn't sure what to expect by now as I teleported myself to the Command Center. I felt the need to hide out while I waited to find out what my friends had to say. Alpha looked at me, "it's good to see you Kimberly."

"Zordon, I told them." I looked up as Zordon came into view.

IT IS NOW UP TO THEM TO DECIDE WHAT TO DO. THEY WILL MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION, YOU KNOW THAT.

However as Zordon spoke the sirens went off and I groaned. Just when I was getting a chance to take a few moments away from them I was going to have to see them again.

PUTTIES ARE IN THE PARK, KIMBERLY MORPH AND GO FIGHT. I WILL SEND THE OTHERS.

Taking a deep breath I nodded. Pulling out my morpher I called on the power of the crane and headed to battle. As I landed on the ground in the park I looked around to see that there were a couple dozen putties. I ran off down the hill in their direction. I started the fight immediately, not taking the time to think about how long it had been since I fought. I kicked at the Z's not forgetting my past training. I was curious though, why did they send putties when they also had the Tengo warriors at their disposal. Obviously I did not have time to think about that as I fought the oncoming putties.

"Spread out guys!" I heard Tommy's voice, which for the first time that day I was relieved to hear. There was no way I could've taken on this number of putties alone and lived to talk about it. Just as I had stopped to breathe a second I was thrown to the ground by a massive putty. I didn't know the things came in different sizes! What was I thinking? I didn't have time to stop; I forced myself up in a back handspring, catching the thing perfectly in its "Z". "You alright?" Tommy asked me as he bounced off the "Z" of a putty.

"Yea fine." There wasn't time to have a discussion as more putties were coming at us. It was a good thing that I had on my protective armor, unlike the other Rangers. Until I was completely healed from my accident I would have to wear it at all times in fights, even as something as simple as putty fights.

By the time the putty battle had concluded I was exhausted. After powering down I sank down to the grass. My leg was aching badly; I'd be in a knee brace for a few days now. I rested my arms on my knees, my faced buried in them, even as the others dropped down around me. "I'm sorry," I felt Tommy's familiar hand on my shoulder.

"The accident was my fault," I told them shortly.

"How?" Rocky looked utterly confused, and I almost laughed.

"I shouldn't have been there. I never compete in show jumping shows," with this I stood and took off. I laughed dryly at the thought of my being as flighty as I have been lately.

"Kim!" I should've known Rocky wouldn't let me be. He always had a habit of putting himself where it was really not needed. I turned to look at the red ranger. Oddly enough though, Rocky didn't say anything he simply gave me a hug.

"Thanks, Rocky," I whispered turning into my friend's hug.

"He still likes you," Rocky's voice was quite as he spoke in my ear.

"Well why's he dating her then?" I asked coldly.

"He didn't know."

"I know I should have been honest with him."

Tommy's POV

Few hours later, he's with Kat (blah)

I looked at Kat and then back to the TV. I had to tell her, but it would kill her. Surely she would know by now what was about to happen. I've been here at her house for like two hours and barely said a word. She had tried a few things to get me talking, but I wasn't interested. Currently we sat on the couch, my arm lightly resting on the back, but not really touching her. I couldn't date her anymore and I didn't know how to tell her. Absently I took my hand and ran it through my hair which was currently down.

"I'm going to go outside for a minute," I told her quietly standing and heading out her house's back door. I sat down on their swing and closed my eyes. It was only six months ago that she had sent me that stupid letter. I felt like my life was finally in control and then she waltzes back in. I don't know what to say to her but I do know that I am ready to break up with Kat. I didn't really like her that much in that position any ways. As a friend Kat was fine but she just wasn't meant to be my girlfriend.

Resolutely I stood and walked inside. "Kat, we need to talk."

She looked at me for a moment her eyes filled with confusion, but then she nodded. "Talk."

"I can't do this anymore," I told her quietly.

"Us?" She asked in her own quiet way. I just nodded. "Ok." That was all she said. Leaning towards her, I gently kissed her cheek.

"I'm sorry." I walked outside the house, got into my Jeep and drove off. I was going to need some time to figure things out. I was surprised at how Kat was so easy to say ok. I thought she would've protested but then again she's not stupid. I had driven to the juice bar oddly enough. I went inside and sat at the bar.

"Hey Tommy, get you anything?" Ernie asked me in his cheerful voice. I shook my head; I just needed to be somewhere familiar where I could think. "You ok?" Ernie's voice was full of concern as he stopped wiping the counter.

"I just broke up with Kat." I told him figuring he would find out sooner or later.

"Kimberly?" Ernie guessed.

"I don't know Ernie," I said honestly.

"You'll figure it out. You are smart I know that thing will work out for you."

"Thanks Ernie." I gave him a small smile. But you know what? He's right, things will work out one way or another and it's up to me to do something about it. I wasn't sure if I wanted to date Kimberly right now but I guess it would help if we could at least straighten our relationship out enough to be friends.
