Chapter Seventeen
At the beach, while waiting for Tommy, Zack and Jason were practicing their kata. Meanwhile, Kimberly and Billy were searching for seashells.
"Hey, I talked to Trini today, she's staying with her grandmother," Kimberly said as she dug through the sand.
"What's she say?" Billy asked as he picked up a shell.
Billy always had an interest in the Yellow Ranger. Kimberly was the only one to notice this. Trini just thought Billy was being friendly, Billy always believed Trini would not be interested in him, both Jason was blinded by his own crush on the Vietnamese-American, Zack didn't notice because of his continue hunt for Angela's affections, and Tommy only saw Kimberly.
Kimberly thought it was cute that her friends were crushing on each other and didn't know it.
"Um… She's worried about Tommy too." Kimberly answered.
"Don't worry we should know how his power stand shortly," the Blue Ranger said.
Kimberly bit her lip. She hoped that the results of Tommy's test were positive. She couldn't bare it if the results were negative. Since becoming a Power Ranger, Tommy had gone through so much. He deserved a bit of hope.
Plus, Lord Zedd was a powerful enemy. The Rangers needed all the help they could get to stop his monsters. The last thing the Power Rangers needed was to be one Ranger short.
Kimberly gave a mental sigh. She really liked Tommy too. He would more than likely isolate himself from their group again. He had done so months ago, nothing was preventing it again. He probably wouldn't even want to date her either. They had been a few dates and she was looking forward to going out with the Green Ranger again. They had been so busy recently and everyone was concerned over his powers. There was no time for dating.
Kim stared at the sand and frowned. She hadn't not thinking positively. She was the chipper one. Tommy looked to her when it came to comfort and she felt that right now she would let him down.
Sighing physically, Kimberly pushed her negative thoughts back and continued to scourer the beach for seashells. It was the only thing she could do while she and the others waited for Tommy to arrive.
