AN: I know this has taken a while but school has been hectic this semester. I am working faithfully on this story though, and have plans to have it done ASAP. Hope you enjoy this next part! Oh the last chapter changed where I was originally going with this story… ugh!

WenWen: Thanks as always! You're a huge support!

Nikkitan89: I know, but it would be so easy just to say their together.

Hewhoreaps: At this point they are talking, and can spend time together without feeling strained that's the current extent of the relationship.

LavonneAdams: Thanks, I'm glad they are comfortable to as this story is so taking a direction from what I had planned!

Jps1926: Glad you're all better! When they love each other as much as they still do (yes we know they still do) all it takes is a little bit of give for them both.

Chapter Seven

Beep! Beep! Beep! Groggily I reached over and turned off the alarm clock stretching in my bed. I glanced at the time, knowing that it was time to get up and get ready for school. With a sigh I tossed my blankets off and climbed out of the bed. I automatically went into the bathroom and turned on the hot water for a shower. I took my time in choosing an outfit but finally went with something totally not pink. I know strange that I'm not in pink but I wanted something different. I am wearing a pair of white pants and a black spaghetti strap with a white jacket. Grabbing my backpack, which I had already put my things in; I took off down the stairs of the building to my car.

Once I made it to school I stepped into the building and made my way slowly to my locker. For some reason I had actually gotten to school earlier then I usually did so I had time to waste. That was the best part, I didn't have to feel rushed this morning like usual. As I was putting things in my locker I felt a hand come over my mouth. "Don't say a word!" A males voice whispered my ear. I started to squirm and looking around frantically. I could not see the person and there were not very many people around. I felt myself pulled back against him and I tried to scream but I couldn't. Suddenly, "Leave her alone!" The guy, instead of leaving me alone kicked me hard in the back and then slapped me before running off. I fell to the ground in pain. My back was hurting badly.

"Kimberly!" I turned to see Tommy kneeling down beside me. He brushed my hair out of my face. "Are you OK?"

"I don't feel so good," I said with a wince.

"Do you know who that was?" Tommy asked me as he slowly helped me stand up. I leaned against for support as I had no current strength.

"No didn't you see him?" I asked him. I hadn't even seen the guy how was I supposed to know who it was.

"I didn't get to see his face and he took off before I could get close enough," Tommy confessed.

"Oh great so now I'm being followed!" I groaned, as I could also feel a major headache coming on. As if on cue Tommy's communicator went off. We looked at the other Rangers and nodded towards the side doors to get out of the building. The seven of us took off out the door.

Tommy lifted his arm to his face, still keeping a hand tightly on my arm. Our friends noticed that he kept his hand there, and I say the look they exchanged. But I don't think they noticed that I saw it.

"What's up Zordon?" Tommy asked quietly into his telecommunication device.

RANGERS, I NEED YOU TO COME TO THE COMMAND CENTER IMMEDIATELY.

"We're on our way," he looked at the rest us and nodded his head. "Let's go." Putting our hands on our communicators which also served as a teleportation device we were flown through the air in our respective colors to the Command Center.

Once in the Command Center I stepped up towards Zordon's time warp. "What's up?" I asked my mentor before Tommy could. Tommy's hand was somehow still on my arm.

TOMMY IT IS GOOD TO SEE YOU AND KIMBERLY GETTING ALONG. I AM AFRIAD THE NEWS I HAVE IS NOT VERY GOOD THOUGH. THERE IS A MONSTER IN DOWNTOWN ANGEL GROVE. IT IS AN ANAMATROMIC FIGHTING SOLDIER WHICH SEEMS TO BE A CROSS OF SOME OF THE MONSTERS YOU HAVE FOUGHT BEFORE. I THINK YOU CAN DESTROY THIS ONE PRETTY EASILY.

Tommy nodded and looked to myself and the others, "lets do it. It's Morphin Time!"

"Black Ranger Power!"

"Blue Ranger Power!"

"Pink Ranger Power!"

"Purple Ranger Power!"

"Red Ranger Power!"

Yellow Ranger Power!"

"White Ranger Power!"

As Tommy hollered his last we were all transformed into our Ranger fighting team and teleported to location. When we landed I looked up to see that putties and tengas were both being sent at us. Just what we needed were double the goonies and one mean ole monster.

Couple Hours Later

I walked along the path in the park, stopping every once in a while just to look out at the water. Things sure have changed in the last day or two. The battle was a success. It had only taken us about two hours to defeat both the monster and the stupid goonies. It was cool in the fact that Goldar never showed up.

I climbed on top of a slight hill and laid out a blanket that I had brought with me. It was night and as I lay back on the blanket I looked up at the stars amazed by their awesome power. I suppose we are like stars in some ways. We come and we go but home is never far away.

"Hey," I heard a voice speak quietly behind me. It was a voice I knew and I simply patted the spot beside me.

"Join me, the stars are beautiful tonight." I glanced over at the person who was now laying back on the blanket beside me.

"They are very beautiful," the person looked up at the stars and sighed, I watched as they settled down. I went back to looking at the stars, in awe by their beauty. "But, I think something else is more beautiful."

I turned to look at Tommy and smiled briefly. He shifted over and slipped his arm under my head supporting me and making me more comfortable. "Tommy, what are we going to do?"

"I don't know baby but we'll figure it out." He said softly, as he moved closer to me, my head now resting on his shoulder. I nodded slightly, and buried my hand in his shirt. For some reason I couldn't imagine life without him and somehow, someway I knew it'd work out.

A/N: Sorry this is kinda of a badly written chapter but I have something really big coming up in the next chapter!
