Authors Note: This is something that I have been toying around with for a while. It consists of snip-its from Kimberly's diary about her life and her friends lives. I am still going to be working the story "Are We Over" but I wanted to throw this out to you all. It'll be a lengthy story, but I hope it will be worth it. It begins when the gang starts High School. Let me know what you think! Please R&R! It will be a T/K, because that's mainly what I write.

Dear Diary,

I know it's been a while since I have last written, but I have been sick, and yup, you guessed it, ended up back in the hospital this time. As opposed from the last time, this time wasn't my fault. I told everyone that I didn't feel well, and I didn't deny how sick I was. I went to sleep one night, and ended up waking up three days later in the hospital. I had Aisha's flu, but for some reason I couldn't shake it. The doctor's think it was because I was running around a lot when it first attacked me, but I don't care. I'm just glad that I am home. I was in the hospital for about four days, and then resting the rest. I am finally feeling 100 myself.

I start my eleventh grade year soon in three days, actually. This is the year that Tommy and I celebrate our first anniversary too, oh and Jason, Trini and Zack are coming home for a visit in October! I am THRILLED. I can't wait for them to really have a chance to get to know the new rangers. I know they will love them as much as we do. I can't believe I haven't seen them in over five months! I miss them so much.

Anyway, I have to get going. Aisha and I have a shopping date. We need to continue adding to our wardrobe, while the Labor Day Sales are continuing. It was great; yesterday I got 5 pairs of jeans for 10 bucks each. What a bargain! I also managed to pick up Tommy a few things too that were on sale. Anyway, I'm off.

Love,

Kimberly

The first day of school was occurring tomorrow, and Kimberly was looking through her selection of her new wardrobe when her phone rang, "Hello?"

"Hey girl."

"Hey Aisha, what's up?"

"I am wondering what you are going to be wearing tomorrow."

"I have no idea, I'm trying to figure that out now."

"Yeah, me too. God any ideas?"

"I really liked that yellow and white sundress you bought, maybe with a pair of the yellow sandals. That's not too dressy for school."

"I was thinking that too. If I wear that, you have to wear your pink dress."

"Ok." Kim smiles, "That was easy."

"That shows how good we are." Aisha giggles.

"What shoes though?"

"The white ones."

"Sounds good."

"Alright, well look, mom's calling me. Do you want me to pick you up, or do you wanna pick me up tomorrow?"

"I'll pick you up at 7:00, ok?"

"Yeah. See you tomorrow Kimberly."

"Bye Sha." Kimberly says, hanging up the phone. She goes over to her closet and pulls out a pink and blue sundress.

The next morning, Kimberly heads to pick up Aisha and then the two go to school. "You look great!" Kim smiles at her best friend.

"Thanks, so do you. I'm glad we have a couple of the same classes."

"Yeah, all of us in English class is gonna be fun too."

"Defiantly. What period do you have math?" Aisha asks.

"Ugh, first." She groans, "But that's ok, at least I have it with Tommy."

"Yeah, you usually catch rides with him anyway, so you can force him to be on time."

"I resent that remark." Tommy says, coming up behind the girls.

"No, you resemble that remark." Aisha laughs.

Tommy bends down and gives Kim a quick peck on the lips, "Oh come on, do you have to do that!" Rocky says, slapping his friend on the back, "Single people here."

"I'll remember that when… no IF you ever get a girl." Tommy says, punching his arm.

"That hurts, really Tommy." He says, in mock defense.

"Well, I think we better head over to Math." Kim says, as Tommy takes her hand.

"I'll see you guys for History." Tommy says.

"Are we all in history together?" Adam asks.

"If we all have it fifth period we are." Rocky smiles.

"Then it's lunch, and then we all aren't together till ninth period." Kim smiles, "See ya guys soon."

"Bye guys." Billy smiles, heading with Adam to Chemistry, and Aisha and Rocky head to Economics.

October 1, 1994

Dear Diary,

I am so excited! Tomorrow Jason, Trini and Zack are home for a week! The best part is Angel Grove is off the same week. It was just sheer luck, unless they planned it that way, Jason, Zack and Trini, not the school. Anyway, I'm thrilled. A week with my best friends back in the area! We are all going to pick them up tomorrow, and I am one of the ones driving, because if I left it up to Tommy, he'd probably be late, haha, but, don't tell him I said that.

I can't wait to have my best friends back. I really didn't realize how much I missed them until all of my best friends are together.

Anyway, I really should try and get to sleep, because it's already 2:00 in the morning. I am just so excited. 12:00 tomorrow they will be home! YAY!

Love,

Kimberly

After sitting in bed awake for an hour, she finally falls asleep, waking up at 10:00 to her alarm clock. She jumps out of bed, grabs a shower, and rushes over to Tommy's house, to pick him up. He was surprisingly ready by 11:30, when she told him to be.

"You ready?" She smiles.

"Oh you bet. What about you?"

"I can't wait!" Kimberly smiles. "I've missed them so much."

"Oh, and hello to you too Kimberly." He smiles, kissing her cheek as she drives.

"Hi." She giggles. "I'm sorry."

"I know, I don't mean anything when your best friend comes back."

Kim laughs, "yeah, that's exactly it."

"Is Billy meeting us there?"

"Yeah, along with the Kwan's, Taylor's, and Scott's."

"Do you think we can steal them away today?"

"I think they will make an appearance at the Youth Center." Kim smiles.

They pull into the airport fifteen minutes later, and park the car. Kimberly sees Billy waiting for them at the front door.

"Let's go get our friends." Kimberly smiles.

"I can't wait to see them!" Billy smiles.

They go to the gate they are suppose to be at and see the Scott's.

"Hi Mrs. Scott, Hi Mr. Scott."

"Hi Kimberly honey, how are you?" Linda asks.

"I'm great! How are you?"

"I can't wait to see my son." She smiles.

"Our son." Mr. Scott smiles.

"My brother!" Matt says.

"How are you two doing?" Mr. Scott asks the boys sanding at close watch.

"Good." The boys answer.

"There are the Taylor's." Tommy says.

"Michael, Deanna." Linda calls, as they come over and in for a hug.

"Can you believe they are coming home for a while! It's been six months." Deanna says.

"It's wonderful." She smiles.

"Hi Mr. and Mrs. Kwan." Kim says, as they come over.

"Hi kids, hi everyone."

"When do they get in!" Kimberly says, looking at her watch."

"12:15." Mrs. Scott says.

Finally, their flight comes in and the kids get off the flight. Kimberly as smiling ear to ear, watching her best friends come off the plane. After they hug their family, Jason quickly makes his way over to Kimberly and hugs her, picking her up off the ground spinning her around, "I've missed you Kimberly."

"I've missed you too." She says, as he kisses her cheek, turning his attention to Tommy and Billy.

"Trini!" Kimberly squeaks.

"Kim!" She smiles, hugging her best friend, "I've missed you so much!"

"You too." Kim smiles, "Oh my gosh, we have so much to catch up on! Wait until you meet Aisha…"

"I've met her." Trini says.

"No, I mean really meet her. You are going to LOVE her." She smiles.

"I know, I can't wait to get reacquainted with all of them." She smiles, turning to Billy and Tommy, hugging the two of them.

Zack hugs Kimberly, spinning her around like Jason had done, "I couldn't have been out done by Jason." He says smiling.

"It's good to see all of you." Tommy says, smiling.

"Yeah, we have definitely missed you." Billy says.

"And Boy blue, you have definitely been hanging out with Kimberly a bit too much." Zack says, laughing.

"Alright, well, let's get you guys home." Mrs. Scott smiles.

"Youth Center later on guys?" Jason asks.

"We'll be there at 2:00." Kim smiles.

"Alright, we'll see you there." Trini smiles.

"You bet!" Kim says, as they part their ways and head back home. "I am so glad to see them!" Tommy laughs at her. "What!"

"Nothing." He says.

"What's so funny?"

"You."

"Me!"

"Yeah you. I haven't seen you this excited since that one blow out sale at the mall."

"Oh you." Kim says, smiling.

"You practicing today?"

"Yeah, I have to go back and change first. Do you want to come, or do you want me to drop you off?"

"I'll come. I need to work out anyway." He smiles.

"Alright." She says, "I won't be too long changing. I just need shorts and a shirt."

"Sounds good."

Kimberly was working out on the floor a while, when Billy, Aisha, Adam and Rocky come into the center. Aisha stands by the stairs and watches Kimberly, while Adam and Billy work out a bit, and Rocky and Tommy spar.

"Looking good Kim." Aisha smiles as her friend finishes her routine.

"Thanks Aisha." Kimberly smiles, "Hey Adam!"

"Yeah?" He says, taking a sip from his water bottle.

"Toss me your water bottle." She smiles, as he nods, putting the lid on the water and throws it at her. She takes a sip of it and sends it back, "Thanks."

"No problem."

"Ok, I think I need to work on the beam a bit." She smiles.

"Need a spotter?"

"Um, no I think I'm ok." She smiles, "Thanks though."

At 2:15, the others arrive. Ernie was thrilled to see the two and gave them all hugs. Trini heads over to where Kimberly is practicing and stands at the bottom of the steps.

"Trini, it's good to see you again." Aisha smiles.

"You too Aisha." Trini says, grinning. "How is… everything?"

"Great. Thanks a lot Trini." She smiles, "I have never felt anything quite like it." Aisha says being as discrete as she could.

"I know what you mean." Trini says, sighing. "Wow, I haven't seen Kim do that move before." She says, watching her best friend mounting the beam.

"Oh that! She's been working on that for MONTHS, since I knew her. She really doesn't have any new moves."

"Oh, well, yeah." Trini says, watching Kimberly.

"What do you think!" Kimberly asks her girlfriends.

"It was…" Trini begins.

"Great! God Kim, you have gotten so much better over the past few weeks. I can't believe it! You are going to definitely win that competition next week."

"Thanks." Kimberly smiles, "Let's go get a drink."

Trini sighs, and follows the two up to the juice bar. She orders her drink and sits down at the table. The girls all talk, but Trini felt a bit left out of the conversation at times. What she doesn't know is that the feeling was mutual between the Rangers when the original three talked.

Dear Diary,

Well, the guys came home today, and I am so happy! It is so good to see them. I don't know what is up with Trini though. She seems to be keeping her distance from me and Aisha. I don't know what to make of it. I treat her exactly like I have in the past. I don't know what is going on. Oh well, I guess it will be ok.

Love,

Kimberly

After two days, Trini was becoming quite jealous of Aisha. It seems that she had moved in on her best friend, and Trini was almost forgotten, at least, that was what she felt. She wanted to do something with Kimberly, just the two of them, but it seems that Aisha was always around. She wasn't use to not having Kimberly, and it was wearing on her.

"So Aisha, are we heading out shopping tonight?" Kim asks her.

"Of course, if you want too." She replies.

"Do you girls ever do anything else but go shopping on the weekends?" Rocky say laughing.

"Nope!" They both say at the same time and break down into peels of giggles.

Jason and Rocky both roll their eyes. Just then Trini walks in.

"Hey Kim, I have a question for you." She asks.

"Ok shoot." She says.

"Do you want to go see a movie tonight?" She asks.

"Actually, I cant tonight. Aisha and I are gonna go shopping, but you…" She says, getting cut off by Trini,

"Oh ok, never mind then, I'll catch you later." She says turning around to leave the Youth Center.

"Trini, you didn't let me finish. You can come with us."

"No think you Kimberly, I don't take charity offers." She says in an extremely angry tone.

"Charity offers? Trini what are you talking about?" Kimberly says, getting up and walking over to her.

"You know exactly what I mean Kimberly. Just go on and have fun with Aisha. I'll talk to you whenever you have time for me ok?" She says.

"I don't…"

"I think you do understand it Kim. I'll see you around." Trini says, leaving Kimberly with a look of shock and hurt. The tears were welling up in her eyes.

"Kim, you ok?" Aisha asks, as Tommy puts his arm around his girlfriend.

"I don't understand what the hell she is talking about Aisha!" She says.

"She's just jealous. Let her be."

"No, I can't because Trini has not been jealous of me and her friendships a day in her life."

"I'll be right back." Jason says as he goes after Trini. He didn't really know what brought this outburst on Trini, but he was going to find out. "Hey Trini? Wait up!"

"Leave me alone Jason." She says, picking up the pace.

"Come on Trin, hold up." He says again. Surprisingly she stops and turns around to face him; her eyes are brimmed with tears. "Are you ok?" Jason asks, not expecting her to be crying.

"I don't understand what came over me." She says as she sits down on the bench outside. He walks over to her and sits next to her. "I just got so jealous." She says, sounding almost ashamed.

"What brought this on?"

"I don't quite know Jase." She says. "Ever since I came back here, I have just felt…"

He cuts her off, "Replaced?"

"Yeah, I guess I have been." She says.

"You know what; I feel the exact same way." Jason starts.

"You do? She asks him.

"Yeah. Trini, we've been gone for months, we aren't rangers, and our friends have changed without us. I feel that there is no more need for me in the group. I feel like I am just in the way Trini." Jason says, "I use to be the one that Tommy confided in. He and I use to talk about everything and anything, especially when it came to Kimberly, now, he has Adam or Rocky to talk to. We are a whole country away."

"I see Kimberly and Aisha together and that is exactly like she and I use to be. Jason, I see Aisha, and she knows more about Kimberly than I do. I have been replaced. She doesn't need my friendship anymore." She says.

"Of course she does! Trini, you are Kimberly's oldest friend… well one of them."

"And I left and Aisha filled in and took over."

"She didn't take over, and she definitely did not replace you. You saw Kimberly at the airport. Her eyes lit up Trini in a way that I have never seen before. She was so excited to have us guys back and I guess for us to all get to know one another better. You know that things are going to change over times, but one thing will always remain which is your and Kim's friendship."

"I just wish it would all go back to normal." She sighs.

"It will, but you have to realize also that Aisha is also Kim's friend, but so are you. I had to understand that when I come back, but I am not replaced either. I just have more people to get use to." He says grinning at the last part.

"I guess your right Jason." She sighs. "I guess I have some things to get use to too."

"We all do Trini." Jason smiles at her. "You know something, I'm glad we are home. Our friends are still here for us, even if things have changed. We have things to get use to, like not being rangers when we come home, and not having the bond that the others do anymore, but it's still there. We were rangers. They ARE our best friends, and we have the new rangers to get to know."

"You're right Jason. Thanks." She says giving him a hug. "I guess I should talk to Kimberly."

"Yeah, you should. She'll understand. Do you want me to send her out?"

"No, I'll… I don't have to." She says watching Tommy and Kimberly walk out of the Youth Center, towards the parking lot. His arm is draped across his shoulders as they head to the car. "I better go get her." She says running up to her friend, "Kimberly…"

She stops and turns her head towards her friend, "Can we talk?"

Kim nods, "Sure."

Kimberly and Trini head towards the park, finding a bench to sit on, "Trini, I'm sorry…"

"No, I'm sorry. Kimberly, I wasn't prepared for you to be such good friends with Aisha. I felt so left out. I don't know half the things that have happened to you during the time we are gone. We aren't partners anymore, we don't fight together, and we aren't around each other. I feel like I'm losing my best friend."

"Trini, you'll never lose me. God, you are my oldest girlfriend in Angel Grove. We've been through a ton together."

"You have changed so much."

"So have you." Kim says. "Just because we aren't together all the time doesn't mean that we aren't friends. It really hurt to have others in the red, black and yellow outfit, but we got use to it." Kimberly says, "I'm not going to lie to you, Aisha is one of my best friends. We do everything together, just like we use to do, but when you come home, you are gaining a friend, not losing one, at least, Aisha wants you to be a friend."

"I'd like that, but it's hard. I come home expecting everything to be normal, and it's not."

"Same with you."

"What?"

"Trini, you came home seeing a new world. You have made so many new friends from different countries. You were chosen to be a part of the World Peace Conference, and I am stuck here still. You have seen so much more than I ever have and have come back with a whole new outlook on life, one that I can't compete with. Trini, you have changed, even your appearance. Your hair is shorter than it was by five inches. We are changing, and it isn't together physically, but we are too good of friends to let distance separate us."

"You and Jason…"

"Are like brother and sister. We have grown apart too a bit, but that's not a bad thing. This won't be forever. You will be done the Peace Conference within the year and then you can come home and pick up where you left off."

"I don't think I ever could pick up where I left off, look at today?"

"Well then, you'll start over." She smiles, "But I'll always be here. You're my best friend."

"You're mine." Trini smiles, hugging her friend. "I am so scared that one day I'll come home and everything will be a stranger to me."

"It may be, but you'll have your friends to reintroduce you to the place you call home."

Kimberly smiles at Trini and hugs her again, "I'm sorry if I ever made you think that you weren't my friend anymore."

"I'm sorry that I over reacted."

"Now, will you come to the mall with Aisha and I?"

"I'd love too. I really want to get to know the girl who I gave my powers too."

"You'll love her." Kimberly smiles. The girls head over to where Tommy and Jason still stood, catching up, "Do you guys want to come to the mall?"

"Um…" Jason says, looking at his best friend, "I don't think so."

"Tommy?"

He looks at his girlfriend and smiles, "I think I'm gonna stay with the guys this time ok?"

"Sure." Kim smiles, as he leans down and gives her a kiss.

"DAMMIT!" A voice pulls them away from the kiss, "What have I told you about kissing in front of single people!" Rocky says, coming over to his friends with a smile on his face.

"BOY!" Aisha says, hitting him upside the head.

"It's ok Aisha. I know he's just jealous that I have a girl and he doesn't." Tommy laughs, kissing her cheek.

"Whatever." Rocky smiles, "Since the chicks are going to the mall, you guys wanna shoot some hoops?"

"Sounds good." Jason smiles.

"Are you coming Trini!" Aisha asks hopeful. She really wants to get to know her. "I'd really like to get to know my fellow yellow."

Trini smiles, "Fellow yellow eh? Yeah, I'm going. I'd like to get to know mine."

"Great!" The girls say.

"How about this, we'll meet you girls at the mall for dinner? It's already 3:00, so let's say 6:00?" Tommy asks.

"Sure, sounds good." Kim smiles.

"Yup!" The rest agree.

"Alright, you girls have fun." Jason smiles, nodding at Trini. "We'll see you three in a few hours."

"You got it." Aisha says, as they jump into Kimberly's car. Trini gets the front seat, which Aisha gladly gives her and they drive to the mall.

October 4, 1994

Dear Diary,

Well, I am really thrilled! Trini and Aisha are getting along, as well as the others. This week has been the greatest week in a while, and I am so happy! I didn't think that after the outburst and what Trini told me, Aisha and her would ever become friends, but they have.

It's weird… I haven't had Trini for months, and Aisha came, right? Well, I really feel that I'm closer to Aisha than I am Trini. I guess it's because Aisha and I get along and enjoy the same things more… I don't know. Maybe I am just crazy and putting ideas into my head that aren't even true. I love Trini to death, she is like my sister, but so is Aisha now. I am just really glad I don't have to split my friendship and time between the two of them. We can all get together and go out if we want too.

Tonight, Jason, Zack, Trini, Tommy, Billy and I are all going out, just the six of us. It is gonna be a lot of fun. The others were going to come, but they backed out because of family events. I can't believe it's been six months since we have all hung out together!

On the 7th, they head home. I am not looking forward to that day. It's gonna be just as hard having them leave as it was the first time. Who knows, maybe I'll get to head out to Switzerland one day and see them. It could happen.

Anyway, I'm off to get ready!

Love,

Kimberly.

November 18, 1994

Dear Diary,

Today was Tommy and my 1st anniversary. I can't believe hat I have been with him for a year already! I don't know why, but it just seems right. I have never cared for a person as much before. He is my best friend and my boyfriend. What more could I ask for? Anyway, we went out tonight to dinner and the movies. It was nice just spending time with the two of us. It's been so long since we've done that. If we go out, it's usually with the group, or we hang at one of our houses.

I really don't think our parents take us seriously, especially my mom. She keeps telling me not to get my hopes up because chances are, we won't stay together forever. I know that we are young, but come on, what is it hurting? If we break up, I guess it will kill me, but I really don't see that happening anytime soon. I love him. I'm 17… well, almost, and I know what love is. I'm getting sick of my mother telling me not to get hurt. Just because she was hurt by my father and divorced him doesn't mean that Tommy and I will, and that's what I keep telling myself.

He got me a really pretty gold chain with my initial as a charm. I love it. It fits perfectly.

Anyway, there's my communicator, I have to get going. The world needs me.

Love,

Kimberly


January 2, 1995

Dear Diary,

HOW COULD SHE DO THIS TO ME! DOESN'T SHE KNOW I HAVE A LIFE HERE! Ok, let me start over. My mom has been dating this French guy, Peter Dumas, and I thought he was really cool and nice and all, but then they start getting serious. Now, mom is marrying him and they are moving to France, and I am going with them. I have no choice in the matter! I am almost 17 years old, and I don't have a choice on where I move, or when. I am in the middle of the school term!

I was so mad at her, I didn't even let her finish. I agreed to it! I told her yes, but how could I not? She is so happy, and I don't want to ruin it for her. I stormed up into my bedroom and started to write. What the heck am I suppose to do? My life is here, my boyfriend, my friends, my gymnastics. I can't move to a foreign country, where I don't even know the language. I take Spanish for gosh sake.

I guess that's it though, in a month I'll be living in France, I won't even get to see my little sister… oh yea, I didn't tell you, I'm having a sister. Mackenzie Lynne Hart. But anyway, that's not on subject, I'M MOVING!

Why don't I ask my father to live with him? Because he'll have the new baby and I still won't be in Angel Grove. Ugh, no one knows about this yet. I'm a power ranger, I can't leave without having someone to take my place. This is awful!

I need to get out of here, go to the youth center or something.

Love,

Kimberly

Kimberly gets into her car and heads over to the youth center. She didn't feel much like doing anything, so she sits at the usual table and orders a drink from Ernie. She stirs it for what seems like two hours, before Aisha comes in.

"What's with the long face Kim?" She asks me.

"Nothing." Kim sighs.

"Yeah right nothing. Come on girl, tell me what's up."

Kimberly sighs and looks at her best friend, "You know that guy my mom's been seeing?"

"The French guy?"

"That would be the one." She says, "Well, they are getting married."

"That's great!" Aisha says, before Kimberly gives her a look of disgust, "Or not."

"No," She sighs, "It is, but the only problem is, he lives in France."

"And?" Aisha questions her, not really getting what Kimberly was getting at.

"AND, she's moving to France."

"Ok… oh." She says, finally understanding Kimberly's fear."

"When I say she, I mean we. I'm moving to France in March. What am I going to do Aisha? I can't move. I'm a Power Ranger… I have friends here… I have a boyfriend, school, a life. How can I give all of that up?"

"I don't know Kimberly… I really don't know." Aisha says, looking at her friend, "We'll figure something out."

"I don't see how. My father is moving to Boston, my mother to France, and I have to go with one of them. Either way, I'm leaving everything I love." She says, tears pouring down her cheeks, "There is no way out, there is no other choice, I'm moving." She cries, as she stands up and runs towards the doors of the Youth Center.

"Hey Kim…" Rocky says, as the girl flies by him, "What was that all about?"

Aisha sighs, "She's moving."

"MOVING!"

"Yeah."

"Where?"

"France. Her mom's getting married." Aisha says a bit glum.

"But, what about the team?"

"I don't know Rocky, and she doesn't either…"

"Doesn't know what!" Tommy says walking over to their usual table.

Aisha fills him in on what Kimberly had told her and he looks shocked, "She never said anything about this to me."

"I think she just found out." Aisha says.

"Where is she?"

"She ran out."

Tommy stands up, "I'm gonna go see if I can find her. I'll catch you all later."

"Right." Rocky says, as Aisha looks at him.

"She's my best friend Rocky…'

"It will all work out Aisha, it has too." He says, a bit doubtful.

Tommy heads into the park to look for Kimberly after he sees her car still parked. He sees her sitting on a rock by the lake and walks up behind her, "Penny for your thoughts?" He says.

She jumps and whips around at the startling voice, "Oh, Tommy, hey." She says, unenthusiastically.

"What's going on Kim?" He says, sitting next to her on the rock, "You usually don't cry over nothing."

She wipes her tears away, "It's stupid I'm crying, it's not like I can change her decision."

"Moving to France?"

"You know!"

"Aisha told me."

"Oh." She says, looking at him, "What am I going to do Tommy?" She says, as a whole new batch of tears flows from her eyes.

He sighs and pulls her into a tight embrace, "I don't know Kim, I just don't know."

TBC…

Well? What didcha think? I'm going to be taking it all throughout High School, college and adulthood, snip-its of the diary through out the entire story.

Please R&R! I'd really appreciate it. It helps me to know what you all want or don't want 

Don't forget about my other story "Are We Over!"

Thanks!
