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.

He sits with Kimberly until she starts to calm down, "Hey, nothings happening yet. Don't worry about it until you explore all your options."

"Ok, let's explore my options Tommy. Option one, move with mom to France. Option two, move to Boston with Dad. Option three… oh wait, that's right, there is no option three." She says, frowning.

"It will work out."

"Anyway I look at it, I'm moving away from Angel Grove." She says, "I can't Tommy, I just can't. I can't move away from my friends, my powers, my gymnastics… I can't move away from you."

He kisses the side of her head, "We'll think of something. I promise."

She sighs, leaning heavily against him, "I wish there was another way."

"Have you talked to your mom about your concerns?"

"No. I mean, I can't. She's so happy."

"You're her daughter Kimberly, you should."

"I can't. It would be better if I didn't talk to her at all and just go with her." She sighs, "I have to talk to Zordon eventually. I guess the sooner the better." She says, wiping her eyes once again.

"Do you want to go back to the Youth Center?"

"No." Kim says, "I should probably get home and help my mom pack up the house."

"Ok, I'll call you later."

"Right." She sighs as they head to her car.

"I love you."

"Love you too." She says, getting into her car. She drives home and opens the door.

"Kimberly!"

"Yeah mom."

"Can you come up here and help me box some things in the guest bedroom."

"Yeah, I'm coming." She says, slowly walking up the stairs. She sees her mom happy and puts on the best smile she could, "Why so early?"

"Moving is a big deal Kim. You can't just throw things together in a week, especially over seas. Do you think the Oliver's would have boxes?"

"I am sure they do, and if they don't I'm sure they could get some." Kimberly says as happy as she can muster.

"I want to move the living room, dining room, and the guest bedroom next week, so we have a lot to do in a little bit of time. Ok?"

"Sure mom."

"I also am going to call Angel Grove High and have your papers transferred to the school you will be attending."

"Where am I going?"

"I can't remember the name, but you'll love it. Peter says that it is lovely."

"Mom…" Kimberly says, wanting to tell her mom how she really feels.

"What is it honey?"

"I…" She starts, seeing her mothers face, "Want to know where this goes."

"Um, start a new box for that Kimber. Thanks."

"No problem." She says, biting her cheek to keep from crying.

"Did you tell your friends?"

"I told Aisha, who told Rocky and Tommy, who probably told everyone else. I'll tell them when I see them."

"What about the others?"

"Trini, Jason and Zack?"

"Yeah."

"No. I'll tell them when I call them, or when they call me."

"Alright. Well, we are going to head to France February 10, alright?"

"I don't really have a say in that now do I?" She asks, trying to sound like she is joking.

"It was more of a statement than a question Kimberly." Her mother says, tossing her tape, "Tape the boxes tight. I don't want to lose anything on the way."

"Ok."

"Then, we'll have to discuss what we are doing during the summer and holidays with you and your father. You'll probably be down at his house this year for Christmas…"

"Mom?"

"What?"

"Can we take this one step at a time?"

She smiles, "Yes. Let's get packed up first, and I'll call your dad now and tell him about France, ok?"

"Ok." She says as her mom stands up.

"Keep packing Kim."

"I am." She says. Her mom heads downstairs to use the phone in the den. She always uses the phone there when she is talking to her ex. Kimberly listens for the door to close and then kicks the box next to her.

"I hate this!" She says, tears flowing again, "I don't wanna move." She continues to pack though and cry until her mother comes back up.

"Alright. Your father and I are going to be discussing your schedule in a few weeks, and re-assess the custody."

"Alright." Kim says.

They pack and talk until around 10:00 when Kimberly calls it a night. She has school tomorrow and was emotionally and physically exhausted. For the next two weeks, everything was the same. Kimberly would go to school, practice gymnastics, and come home to study and pack. In-between that she would help the Rangers save the world. She was trying to spend as much time with her friends as she possibly could, especially with Tommy. In about four more weeks, she'd be moving.

January 15, 1994

Dear Diary,

Everything is going just fine in my mom's world. I pack, I fight, I practice, I study, and I hang out. That's about it. I leave in about two weeks… ok so it's closer to like four, but still.

I just don't know how to tell my mother I don't want to move. She is just so totally happy, and I don't want to ruin it. She loves Peter, and I can sacrifice what makes me happy for her. I have done it my entire life. I just put on my game face, and will take everything as it comes.

What are they doing with my powers? I have no idea what so ever. I guess they will pick someone else for the Pink Ranger Powers as they did with Jason, Trini, and Zack. It's gonna hurt though, giving them up, but what else can I do! I'm moving to FRANCE.

Anyway, I gotta go help mom pack up the downstairs. I think I really bummed out Aisha today, so I'll have to call her tonight and talk to her. Ugh, so much to do so little time.

Love,

Kim

Aisha was eating dinner with her mother and father. She was picking at her food, but her mind was elsewhere. She didn't feel much like eating, so for the most part, she was stiring her dinner around her plate.

"Aisha?" Her mom says, as she looks up, "What's the matter honey?"

She sighs, "Nothing mom."

"Did something happen at school today?"

"Not today."

"What is it?" She asks again.

"It's Kimberly."

"What's wrong with Kimberly?"

"Did you two have a fight?"

"No dad, it's not like that. She's moving."

"Moving? To where?" Her mom asks.

"To France, Paris to be exact."

"Why?"

"Her mother's getting married to that Peter guy she's dating, and they are uprooting here and moving in February to France."

"That's a sin honey."

"I mean, it's not fair. She doesn't want to move there, and I don't want her to move there. Mom, it's in the middle of the semester, and so much is happening this year. We have our Junior Prom, we have the scavenger hunt, family trees, a time capsule. She's my best friend and I don't want to lose her. She has her friends, gymnastics, school, friends, boyfriend, her po… she has everything here."

"Well, what about her father? Couldn't she live with him?" Michael Campbell asks his daughter.

"She could, but she'd still be moving. He is moving to Boston after the baby is born. Plus, with a baby, Kimberly feels that they don't need her hanging around all the time. Mom, Dad, this just totally sucks, and I don't know what we can do about it! She's my best friend. I don't want to lose her."

"Well, she'll figure something out, or if she doesn't you'll see her a few times a year." Lillian replies.

Aisha sighs, "Can I be excused?"

"Of course." Lillian says. Aisha clears her dishes and heads upstairs. She hears her parents discussing the situation as she advances up the steps. "Well, it really isn't fair that she is being forced to move when she doesn't want too."

"Lil, we moved, and Aisha got use to it very quick, but I agree, moving to another country is going to be difficult on the girl, but what can we do?"

"That was a bit different. She moved and changed schools, BUT, she had her two best friends moving with her. It is different. She didn't need to fly or learn a new language." She says, after thinking about the situation, "Well, we have the two extra rooms. We could fix one of them up for Kimberly so she can finish out the school year. She wouldn't be too much trouble. She and Aisha are best friends."

"I don't know if Caroline would go for it."

"It wouldn't hurt to ask Michael. She's a great girl, and we do have the room."

"I say, if Caroline agrees, then, she can stay here for a while. I don't mind if she finishes out High School with us." Michael says.

"We always wanted more kids." Lillian smiles.

"Well, we have more room, shall we invite Adam, Rocky, and the others to stay with us too?" He smiles.

"No, Kimberly's fine." She smiles, "I kind of like having the idea of both girls in the house indefinitely."

"Don't get your hopes up too soon. We need to run it by Aisha first, and see if it's ok, and then by Caroline."

"I know. We could ask her tonight."

"Caroline?"

"Aisha."

"Yeah. AISHA." Michael calls as she runs down the stairs.

"What's up?" she asks, smiling.

"You heard our conversation didn't you?"

"Dad… I didn't mean too…"

"What did I tell you about ease dropping."

"Don't get caught!" She smiles.

"She's your daughter Lillian."

Lillian laughs, "Well daughter of mine, what do you think? Do you mind Kimberly staying here?"

"No! Not at all." She smiles, "I always wanted a sister."

"It's not guaranteed though honey. Caroline has to agree with it, as does Kimberly."

"I know Mom." She smiles, "She'll be at the Youth Center tomorrow. We can talk to her then! I think Ms. Hart will be there too."

"Alright, well, we'll be there." She smiles.

Aisha was thrilled. She bounds upstairs smiling and closes her bedroom door to finish up homework. She couldn't wait to invite Kim to live with them.

Kimberly had an early gymnastic practice, so she goes, practices and then changes, hanging out at the Youth Center. Her mom was there with her step father, or soon to be step father who was showing his artwork in the Juice Bar. She knows that she has to talk to her mother about her feelings on moving to France, and she figures she would do it now. Her mother comes up and smiles, "We have packing when we get home honey."

"Mom…" She starts, tears forming in her eyes. "I haven't been exactly honest with you about the move…"

Caroline looks at her daughter, "What's the matter?"

"I'm really scared to move mom. I don't want to leave my friends, my boyfriend, gymnastics, my school. I hate the idea of having to move away from my father and my new sister who isn't even born yet. I won't know the language, I won't know anyone, and it's a whole different world from here." She says rambling, "I just didn't want to show you how scared I was because I know how happy you are and I want you to be happy mom, I really do." She tells her, crying a bit, "I just hate the idea of moving, and I want you to be happy and…"

"Kimberly, Kimberly, Kimberly…" Her mother says, stopping her rambling, "Why didn't you tell me this sooner? Honey, you are my daughter, and you know that you can always tell me any concerns that you have. I know that its' scary, but you'll be ok. You'll come home."

"I know. I'm glad I got that off my chest."

"You can't keep everything in because you're afraid to hurt me. We are a family Kim, and families stick together."

Kimberly smiles, as her mom hugs her. Aisha and her parents walk up to the Hart's.

"Kim, I told my mom about everything, you moving and all. We maybe have an idea on how you can stay…"

"Caroline, we'd be willing to have Kimberly stay at our house for the end of the school year, or even till the end of high school for them. I know how hard it is moving in the middle of the school year, and if you allow us, we'd love to have her."

"Oh, Lillian, thank you, but I don't want to impose…"

"It wouldn't be imposing, we offered. Kimberly wouldn't be a problem while staying in our house. We'd love to have her."

"Well, I think it would be good for her to at least finish out the school year at Angel Grove…" Caroline says, watching her daughters face light up. "What do you think Kim?"

"Are you sure it's not a problem?" She asks the Campbell's.

"Of course not Kim. We'd love to have you, and our house is your house." Michael says.

"We have a room for you and everything." Lillian smiles.

"I don't want to leave you though mom…"

"Kimberly, this is your decision. I'll be fine."

"Are you sure?"

"Honey, I can fly home anytime I want." She laughs, "We'll see each other, and come the summer you'll stay with me ok?"

"Ok." She smiles, "Thank you so much." Kim says to the Campbell's. "I guess we'll be housemates."

"Oh no, we'll be sisters." Aisha smiles, hugging her best friend.

"Well, when would you like her to move in?" Michael says.

"I won't be leaving for another two weeks, so she can stay with me till then."

"Ok. Anything you need from the house bring on over Kim."

"Thank you so much Mr. and Mrs. Campbell."

They all smile as Kim's mom kisses her cheek.

"DO you have your car?" Aisha asks Kim.

"Yeah, why?"

"Let's go shopping." She smiles.

"Alright. I'll see you at home?" She says to her mom.

"See you then honey."

"Thanks again." Kim says to the Campbell's'.

"Have fun girls." Mrs. Campbell smiles.

Aisha and Kimberly talk to each other a mile a minute as they exit the Youth Center. Rocky, Adam, and Tommy were just coming in, "Where are you two off too?"

"We're heading to the mall." Aisha says to Tommy.

"Yeah." Kim smiles, kissing him hello.

"You seem particularly happy Kim." Adam says, noticing his friends smile.

"Well, that's because I'm not moving." She grins.

"WHAT!" All three guys say.

"You mean your mom is staying?" Rocky asks.

"Nope."

"Your dad?" Tommy questions.

"Nope. "

"She's living with me." Aisha smiles.

"Oh thank god." Tommy says, hugging her, as Rocky and Adam do the same.

"That's so great Kim!" Rocky smiles.

"Yeah, now we don't have to look for another Ranger." Adam says, slyly.

"Haha, I see, you guys just didn't want to look for another one." Kim says, poking him in the ribs.

"Well, we are gonna get out of here." Aisha smiles, "You guys wanna go to the mall?"

"Not with both of you in a good mood." Rocky replies, "I'm not in the mood to carry your bags."

"What about you Adam?"

"I'll pass girls."

"Tommy?" Kimberly asks, looking up at him.

"Well…" He says, looking down at her, getting a look from the guys like he was 'whipped.' "I think I'll pass this time Kimberly. The guys and I are working out."

"Ok, we'll see you guys later then." Kim says, as he kisses her.

"Bye girls." The guys say as they head into the Youth Center.

January 30, 1994

Dear Diary,

I know I haven't written in a while, but it is because I have been so busy. First of all, I am getting ready to move into Aisha's house for the duration of the school year, but I think it might be until I get through High School. I really didn't want to leave here. I love Angel Grove. It's an awesome place. I can't wait to move in with her, but I know I am going to miss my mother. It was tough when my father left, but I saw him every other weekend, something that I'm not going to be able to do with either of them after they move. Larissa's due in about a week, so I'm excited to see my new baby sister. Rocky has been giving me some helpful hints about how to be the oldest sibling, which I hope I forget before she is born haha.

Mom's moving in about two weeks, and she is thrilled. Peter and her are getting married in July, so I will be out there for the wedding. It will be fun to visit there, just not live there.

Anyway, I am heading to the Youth Center now to spar with Adam. He's gonna teach me a few moves, which will be helpful for me in battle.

Love,

Kim

Kimberly walks into the Youth Center and sees Adam, "Hey."

"Hey Kim you ready?"

"Sure!" she smiles. "Go easy on me Adam."

"You have to go easy on me. Ok, this one combination, if you learn it and perfect it you can beat Rocky."

"Really!"

"Yeah." Adam laughs, "He has no idea how to stop it. Ok, back foot back. Front foot forward. It's a six count move. Ready?"

"You bet."

"Punch, block, roundhouse kick." He says, demonstrating it, "Side kick, punch sidekick."

"Like this?" Kim asks, mimicking him.

"Yeah, only faster. Watch." He says, quickly doing the move.

"Wow… I need more practice." Kimberly laughs.

"Don't get discouraged. It's a tough combination… if you aren't use to it." Adam smiles at his friend clad in pink. "Try it again."

Kim laughs as she falls on her butt, "I guess I should stick to gymnastics."

"You'll get it. Try it again."

Rocky comes into the Center and sees Adam working with Kim on a move that he knows destroys him during sparing, "Bro, what's up with this huh? You teach her but not me?" He smiles.

"Why would I teach you when you have moves of your own."

"hey! I have moves." Kim smiles.

"On Tommy doesn't count." Rocky snickers, as the pink ball of energy flings herself at him knocking him to the ground, "I guess he loves this move."

"OOOOOOO YOU!" She says, standing up, helping her red friend up, "You really are a jerk."

Rocky and Adam laugh. "Hey." Adam smiles, "He's gotta go with his strengths."

"That's it boy wonder. You and me." Rocky smiles, as the two bow to each other.

Kim watches the two giggling. They stay at the Youth Center until it closes.

Kimberly heads home and her mother is awake still, "Mom?"

"Kimberly, your father called."

"What did he want?" She asks. She just saw him two days ago and doesn't know what he would have to talk to her about this soon after.

"You're a sister. His wife…" Kimberly shudders when she hears Larissa refered to her as that. Her mom always does it, because in a way she knows that she is hurting that their relationship didn't last, "had the baby early this morning."

"GREAT!" She laughs, "Girl?"

"Yes. Mackenzie Lynn. She was born at 10:28 this morning."

"Awesome! Are they ok?"

"Fine."

"Oh thank god." Kim smiles brightly. "I can't wait to see her."

"He says that you can drive out this weekend if you want, but I know you have the competition on Sunday."

"Yeah, darn it. I really want to see her." She sighs. Her work load this week was awful. She has three tests on Tuesday and the gang would be busy studying.

"You'll see her in two weeks then." Her mom smiles. It was Monday and Kim knows that it would be the only way to see her.

"I'm gonna go call him." She giggles running up the stairs to her bedroom. She picks up the phone and dials her father's number.

"Hello?"

"Dad, hey."

"Hey there Kimber, how are you?"

"I'm great! How is she?"

"She's doing great. She looks a lot like you did when you were born. A lot of brown hair and brown eyes." Ken says smiling, "Can you come out this week?"

"No." Kim groans, "I have a competition on Sunday and I have to practice, plus I have a ton of tests next week."

"That's ok, you'll see her in two weeks."

"Is Larissa ok?"

"She's great. She'll be home with Mackenzie tomorrow."

"Awesome." Kim smiles.

"She weighed in at 5 pounds 4 ounces and is 19 ½ inches long."

"Aww." Kim smiles. "E-mail me a picture sometime this week ok?"

"You got it babe."

"Give my regards to Larissa and give my sister a kiss for me."

"I will." He smiles.

"I have to go study now though, I'll talk to you soon Dad."

"Alright baby I love you."

"Love you too Daddy, bye."

"Bye."

Kim hangs up the phone smiling, and decides to call Aisha and let her know.

Kimberly had a busy week but called her father a few days later. She really wishes she could see the baby, but knows she'll have the rest of her life to get to know her. The week was awful, because of Rita and Zedd. They fought three times that week, and when they weren't fighting they were studying.

February 7, 1994

Dear Diary,

Ugh, this week started out great, got shitty, and ended great. I have a little sister now, Mackenzie was born on Monday, but I haven't seen her yet. I'll see her next weekend though, and I can't wait. Dad says she's doing great.

We got new powers this week, ninja powers. They are amazing. Zedd and Rita totaled our last powers and zords, plus the command center. We were able to go to Phados, and get new powers, which fixed the command center and they are wonderful. I have never felt anything so powerful before. We kept our same colors, and I am the Crane. Dulcea told us that inside every person lies a sacred animal. Mine is the Crane, agile and swift. We are one. Tommy is the Falcon, Billy is the Wolf, Rocky is the Ape, Aisha is the Bear and Adam is a Frog. He wasn't too happy with his animal at first, but I think after she kissed him it made it all better.

Ya know, I really shouldn't be writing things like this in my diary incase it is found, but I can't help it. It's in a really good hiding spot, so I doubt it will be. I'll just have to remember to pack it away first when I pack my room up next week to move to Aisha's.

I sometimes wonder how our parents and people we see every day don't know that we are the Power Rangers. It's pretty obvious if you ask me. I mean, the six of us are always in our signature colors, we disappear when the monsters attack and when it's over, we are back.

I'm glad they don't though.

Anyway, back to studying.

Love,

Kimberly

On the tenth, Kimberly was up by 9:00 and over to the High School Gym by 10. She has a county competition and was the favorite. She was nervous, but her friends would all be there. Her mom left for the weekend to fly some things out to France, and was disappointed that she couldn't make it to her daughter's competition, but Kimberly wasn't worried about it.

She was a bit nervous as six of the county's best gymnasts came into the High School Gym. Tommy comes up behind her as she stretched out, "Nervous?"
She jumps a bit turning around to see her boyfriend, "Yeah, a bit." She smiles, standing up.

He kisses her cheek and smiles, "You'll do great."

She smiles back at him, "Thanks Tommy. Where are the others?"

"They will be here shortly. Rocky was picking up the others as I was leaving my house. He beeped as he drove by and told me they would be here shortly."

"Good." She smiles, "I'm just glad you're here."

"I wouldn't miss it for the world. This place is going to be packed."

"yeah, it is." She says, sighing.

"I'll be cheering for you." He smiles, winking at her.

"You better." She laughs, "I'm up against some really good girls…"

"But you are better."

"I hope." She sighs.

"Just do what you do best." He says, grinning.

"I plan on it." She smiles, "It would be great to be the champion of the County."

"Well, this time County, next time States, and then next time the Country."

Kim laughs, "Right."

"I'm gonna go grab a seat and wait for the others. I'll see you soon." He says, giving her a soft kiss before heading to the bleachers to await their friends.

"You bet." She smiles. Kimberly heads over to her coach where she speaks briefly with her, before talking with her High School Teammates. She knew that she'd be ok with the beam and floor, but the vault and bars were making her nervous. She never liked those two events, but no one could understand why. She was good at all the events.

Kimberly straightens out her pink and blue uniform and fixes her hair awaiting the competition to begin. She smiles and waves at her friends as they enter the gym. Rocky gives her a thumbs up as the other two guys wave. Aisha comes over to her, "Good luck Kim."

"Thanks 'Sha." She smiles, "I need it."

"Yeah, right." She laughs, heading over to her seat next to Tommy.

Kimberly was the third gymnast on every apparatus. She liked to be last, but had nothing to do with the decision of the lineup. The beam was first. The beam was second nature to her.

"I never understand how she can stay on that thing." Rocky whispers to his friends as she goes through her routine with ease, "I mean, she's flipping and landing on a bar that is four inches wide. It's insane."

"It's a talent." Billy says.

"It's scary." Rocky laughs.

"What scares me are the bars." Aisha replies, "I mean, they are like six feet off the ground and you have to jump from one to another. That's truly nuts."

"I rarely see her on the bars." Tommy replies, as they clap for their friend who finished her routine with a perfect dismount. She ended up with a perfect score putting her well ahead of the other girls in the first event.

Bars were her second event. Once again what seems like a flawless routine lands her with a 9.6 score. Vault would be the third event. She ended with a 9.7. She was tied for second at this time, but only needed a 9.4 on the final event for the floor to take first place. The Rangers hold their breath as they watch her three minute floor exercise which gives her a 9.9 putting her in first place with three gymnasts to go. She was pleased with her events, you could tell by the smile on her face as she watches the last girls finish their routines.

"The winner of the County Gymnastics Competition is…" The judges say, reading the scores, "Angel Grove High School, Kimberly Hart." Kimberly smiles and gets congratulated by her team, "Second Place is Lisa Gibbons from Stone Canyon, Third place is Katie Moore from St. Claire's High School. Well done girls."

Her friends run up to her, "Awesome job Kim!" Rocky says, hugging her.

"We knew you could do it!" Aisha smiles.

"Thanks." She laughs, as Tommy kisses her and tells her how great she did.

Kimberly turns her attention to the crowd and sees her father sitting in the front row smiling, "Oh my gosh." She says, running over to them, "What are you doing here?"

"Watching my oldest compete of course." Ken says, kissing her, "You have gotten a lot better since the last time I saw you."

"I can't believe you came! Where's Larissa?"

"She's here too. She walked out when your sister got a bit fussy."

"You brought the baby!" She says, shocked.

"We didn't want her to be a week old and you not see her yet." He smiles.

"I can't believe you brought her!"

"Congratulations Kid." He says, turning his attention to her friends that were coming over. "Hi gang." He smiles.

"Hi Mr. Hart." They all reply smiling.

"Come on, Larissa is waiting to see you." Ken smiles.

"Did you bring the baby?" Aisha asks.

"Yeah." He nods.

They guys don't understand what it is about girls and babies. Rocky turns to Tommy and says, "I think you are in trouble."

"Why?"

"Your girlfriend has a baby sister… you know what she's thinking." He laughs, getting punched by Tommy.

"Come on Kimber." Her father says, as Kim and Aisha follow him out to the hallway.

"Kimber?" Rocky says laughing, "Never heard her called that before."

Tommy and Billy laugh, "She's been called that by him since I can remember." Billy responds.

"But Kimber?"

Billy shrugs, "She hates being called Kimmy, so I guess he picked out another nickname for her."

Kimberly smiles when she sees Larissa, "Hey."

"Hey Kim." She smiles, "Good job out there."

"Thanks. How are you feeling?"

"Great." She says, "Wanna meet your sister?"

Kim smiles and nods, "Of course."

Larissa smiles and pulls the blanket away from her daughter's carrier as Kimberly squats down to see her. The baby was wide awake looking up at the new faces. "Oh my gosh." She squeals.

"She's so cute." Aisha smiles.

Kimberly touches the baby's hand and smiles, "She's adorable."

"She looks like you Kim." Aisha says.

"Yeah she does." Ken replies, "You can pick her up Kimberly."

Kim smiles, and gently picks her up from the car seat, sitting next to her step-mom, "Hi Mackenzie. She's wearing the outfit I got for her." Kim notices the little pink dress.

"Yeah." Larissa smiles.

"We need to go shopping for her." Aisha says, brushing the baby's hand gently.

"Definitely."

"Oh god." The guys groan as they come out.

"That means the baby will have three changes of clothes a day in each size." Adam laughs.

"We may have to move to a bigger house with more closet space Larissa." Ken jokes.

"Oh you guys." Kim and Larissa say, smiling.

"Adam, you are getting as bad as Rocky. God, she is so tiny." Kim replies, to the baby looking up at her with big brown eyes.

"She's very alert." Aisha says. The baby was looking all around, but focusing back on Kimberly every few seconds, almost to see if she still had her.

"She is. She's a good baby too." Larissa says, "She barely ever cries. Your dad says that you rarely did either."

Kimberly passes the baby to Aisha who gladly takes her, "I wish I had a little sister."

"No, you don't." Rocky replies groaning.

"Do you have siblings Rocky?" Larissa asks.

"Yes, five. Three little sisters and two little brothers." He says.

"Wow." Larissa smiles.

Aisha passes the baby back to Kimberly, "Well Miss Mackenzie, what do you think of this place so far? It's not too bad is it?"

"Not for a baby that does literally nothing." Tommy laughs, standing infront of his girlfriend.

Kimberly stands up and says, "Here, you hold her."

"What! No.. I don't…" he says, as she puts the baby in his arms.

"Told ya Tommy." Rocky snickers, who gets a death glare from Tommy.

"Told you what?" Aisha asks.

"Don't worry about it." Tommy says, awkwardly holding the baby.

"She won't break Tommy." Kimberly says, laughing at her boyfriend.

"Here, let a master show you how it's done." Rocky says, taking the baby, "Come here little Mac. See. It's easy." He smiles.

"I don't have siblings to do that with." Tommy says, laughing.

"I didn't either." Kimberly says.

"But you're a girl." He laughs, "It's in your nature to hold babies."

"Yeah, whatever." Kimberly says.

"Fearless leader is afraid of babies." Rocky snickers, "You scare him Mackenzie. You are so little he doesn't know what to do with you. Get use to it Tommy."

Kimberly takes back her little sister, "And you scare her, because YOU are YOU." She smiles, "Don't you listen to him Mackenzie."

"Your mother told me that you will be living with Aisha till the end of the school year?"

"Yeah." She says.

He pulls out his cell phone, "I need your number there, and the address."

"Sure think Mr. Hart." Aisha says, telling him where she lives.

"You only live two streets over?" He asks, "Isn't Forest Avenue close?"

"Yeah, very close." Aisha smiles.

"If you ever need ANYTHING you let me know."

"I will Dad."

"Don't forget about us over in Sandy Cove either."

"Dad, I'll see you next weekend." She laughs, as she hands Mackenzie back to Larissa. The baby lets out a cry of distress as her mother takes her.

"I don't think she wants me to hold her." Larissa laughs, passing the baby back to Kimberly.

"She's already spoiled." Ken smiles as the baby settles down in Kimberly's arms. She smiles. "Don't even think of it." He jokingly tells Tommy and Kimberly referring to the baby.

"God no." Tommy says, shaking his head.

"Well, I should probably get going." Kim says, reluctantly. "Mom wants me to finish packing and I need to study."

"Alright, well, strap her in and we'll be on our way." Larissa says, as Kim puts her little sister in the carrying seat. She straps her in, kisses her hand and stands up.

"I am so glad you guys came." She says, hugging her father goodbye, "I'll see you Friday night ok?"

"Yup, see you then Kimber."

"Bye you guys. I love you." She smiles as all her friends say goodbye to her second family.

"You did great today Kim." Larissa says as they head out the door.

"Thanks." She smiles.

They walk out of the high school and into the parking lot where Rocky decides to scream at the top of his lungs, "NOW EXITING THE SPORTS COMPLEX, WHICH IS A HIGH SCHOOL GYM, KIMBERLY ANN HART, THIS YEAR'S COUNTY GYMNAST."

They laugh at him, "You're an ass do you know that?" Kim says, blushing a bit.

"Hey, I'm proud of you. We all are." He replies, putting her in a playful head lock as they walk to their cars

"Let her up." Tommy demands with a stern but amused voice.

"Or what?"

"Or, I'll have to defend her, and you don't want that monkey boy." Tommy says, smiling.

"Oh, I'm really scared." He says, but lets her up anyway, keeping his arm around her shoulders.

"well, guys, I'm gonna go study, so I'll catch you later?"

"Yeah." Tommy says, kissing her, "I'll call you. Let me know if you need help packing or anything."

"I will." She smiles at him.

"Congratulations again Kimberly." Billy smiles.

"Yeah…" Rocky begins, "KIMBER."

"YOU don't have the ability to call me that." Kimberly says, "Only TWO people do and they are my parents."

"Oh well, I don't think so Kimber… OUCH!" Rocky says, as she flings herself at him, pinning him to the ground.

"What was that!"

"OK OK." He says, laughing, "You win, KIMBERLY."

"That's what I though Rocko." Kim says laughing, as she gets off of him. She helps him up and hugs him, "Beat by a girl." She says, shaking her head.

"I let you win." He laughs.

"Sure you did. Well, I'll see you all tomorrow. Bye!"

"Bye Kimberly." They say as they get into their cars and head home.

Kimberly smiles as she heads into her house, locking the door behind her. She listens to the message from her mother who told her she was running late and expect her tomorrow afternoon. She also told her not to be late for school and call Mrs. Scott if she needs anything. She sighs as she hears of the Scott's. She truly misses Jason, and wishes he was there. He was like a big brother to her and she misses it. She misses them all, but pushes that to the back of her mind and focuses on her studying.

Dear Diary,

Mom leaves tomorrow, and I am really going to miss her. I hate having to choose between her and my life here, but I know I have too. I just won't be happy living in France, but I think I'm gonna have a harder time here too. I love the Campbell's, but they aren't my parents. At least I have my dad still really close. I am going to get a chance to watch Mackenzie this coming weekend for a night while Dad and Larissa head out for the evening. I'm really excited, because I get some bonding time with her. She's a great baby. I love seeing her.

But, back to the topic. I guess all in all, I'm thrilled to be staying here and I am really grateful to the Campbell's to take me in while I finish up the school year.

I moved most of my things over to Aisha's tonight, but I am going to stay one more night in my house. Mom is trying to sell the house, which isn't too big of a deal especially since she won't be here. This will be my fourth move in my life time, I'm use to selling houses, but at least this time, I won't be losing my friends.

I can't wait for all this moving to be over. Next year will be tough if I don't stay in Angel Grove, because I'll be a Senior. Oh well, a lot can happen during that time and I'm not going to worry about that now.

So, rumor on the gymnast block is that Pan Globals is looking for new gymnasts to compete this year. God, I'd love to go.

Anyway, that's all for now.

Love,

Kim

The next morning, Kimberly is woken up early to say goodbye to her mom. She was going to drive the two of them to the airport.

She heads to the Airport with her mom and soon to be step father and goes to the gate with them.

"Alright honey." Caroline smiles, "You behave ok?"

"Mom." She says, rolling her eyes smiling.

"If you need anything call me ok? You have your cell, and you know my number."

"I got it mom."

"Call me at least once a week ok? Just to let me know how you are doing."

"I will I promise." Kim smiles sadly.

"I'll see you soon, and you be sure to come out here on break ok?"

"I'm gonna miss you." Kim says, hugging her.

"You sure you don't want to come?"

"Mom…" Kim says, laughing a bit.

"Call your dad too if you need anything, and I'll call you today to let you know we got there ok."

"Alright mom, take care. You too Peter."

"Goodbye Kimberly, see you soon." He says, hugging his soon to be step daughter.

Kimberly's mother kisses her, hugs her and they say their final goodbye. Ms. Hart, soon to be Mrs. Dumas steps on the plane with a final wave they leave. Kimberly wipes a loan tear away from her eye and turns to head out the door. She heads over to the Campbell's, and goes into Aisha's room, "Hey."

"Hey, you ok?"

"Yeah, I'll be fine." Kim smiles. "Do you feel like going to the mall?"

"Yeah sure, that sounds fun! Mom left a set of keys for you on the table, did you get them?"

"No, I'll pick them up when we are heading out. Do you want to drive or do you want me?"

"I'll drive." Aisha smiles as they jump into her little yellow car and head to the mall.

They talk, look through the clothes, through some things for Kimberly's room at the Campbell's house, and a bunch of other miscellaneous things. They bought some things, but not much. This trip was to get Kim's mind off of her mom and have fun.

March 1, 1994

Dear Diary,

It's been almost a month since I've moved in with the Campbell's and I am loving it. I talk to my mother once a week, which is hard, but it works out. Gymnastics is going great. I think I'm gonna try for the Pan Globals, just for the hell of it. It's four months away, but hey, who knows what would happen.

Tommy has been awesome during the past month. I am really glad to have such a great guy. Our relationship is going great, and I can't see anything really breaking us up, ever. We are able to see each other more often now, because Zedd and Rita have calmed down a bit, not much, but to a point where we are only fighting once a week. I think it's making Mrs. Campbell a bit nervous us spending all the time together. She's not use to someone living in her house with a steady boyfriend. Haha.

Anyway, I'm gonna go sit out and read a bit, hopefully get a bit of a tan today, even though it is only March.

Love,

Kim

"Hey Aisha?"

"Yeah?"

"I'm going to sit out back for a while and read, you wanna come?"

"I'll catch you out there in a bit Kim."

"Right." She smiles at her best friend. She grabs her sunglasses off of the kitchen table and heads outback, taking a blanket with her. She lays out the blanket and lays down, reading her novel. It was very warm, so she was in shorts and a tank top. She hears a car door close about thirty minutes later and figures it was Mrs. Campbell coming home from her Saturday shift at the nursing home. Another minute goes by before a shadow comes over her. She instantly jumps up into a fighting stance.

"Who, hold up there Crane, it's just me." He laughs.

"You scared the shit out of me!"

"Sorry, you just looked so comfortable."

"You are SO lucky you didn't put a hand on me because I probably would have destroyed you."

"Unlikely." He smiles, kissing her softly, pulling her into a hug.

"I didn't think I was going to see you today." She smiles, "It thought you were hanging out with Rocky, Adam, and Billy, sparing and such."

"We're done. What are you up too?"

"Waiting for Aisha to get her butt out here and chill with me. It's so nice out, we're just gonna read and hang out. You are more than welcome to join us though." She smiles.

"What about you and I go out tomorrow night to the movies?"

"Sounds good… oh, no I can't. Mall time with Aisha. You can come."

"No…. that's ok." He laughs.

"How about Saturday?"

"Aren't you going to your father's to baby sit?"

"You could come with me." She smiles.

"I may take you up on that."

"I mean, I wasn't planning on spending the night and it would be nice to have some company."

"What time?"

"I'm heading out there around 3:00 and it will probably last till almost eleven."

"Yeah, that sounds fine." He says.

"Great." She smiles, sitting back down.

"So, what are you reading?"

"Rocky is making me read The Stand, By Stephen King. HE tells me that I haven't read anything if I didn't read it, so I figured I'd give it a try."

"He actually read…" He says, taking the book away from her, "like 2000 pages!"

"Yeah." She laughs, "So it must be good."

"What do you think so far?"

"It's pretty good, graphic, but good." She says.

"Well, that's good." He says, sitting next to her.

"Got room for one more?" Aisha says, coming out with her friends.

"Always." Kim says.

"Hey Aisha."

"Hey Tommy. I thought you were with the guys today."

"I wanted to see you two." He says, smiling.

"Hah, you wanted to see Kim, I just came with the package."

"Oh come on, I like seeing you too."

"Yeah, ok." Aisha teases, sitting next to Kimberly, "How's Rocko's book?"

"Pretty good, actually."

"I thought so too." Aisha smiles, laying back, enjoying the sun."

"We should call the guys and have them meet us at the park for some volleyball." Kim says, "It would be fun."

"I'm in." Tommy says.

"Me too. I'll call Rocky's cell." Aisha says, dialing the familiar number on the cordless phone.

"Talk to me." Rocky says, as he gets his phone from the bag.

"Hey Rocky, you guys wanna go play some volleyball?"

"Let me ask." He says, calling to the two sparing, "Yo, Adam, Billy, you two wanna go play volleyball with the girls and Tommy?"

"Sure sounds good." Adam says.

"Affirmative." Billy replies.

"You got us three yes's. See you there in like ten minutes ok?"

"Yup, bye Rocky."

"Bye Ish." Rocky says, as the guys head over to the volleyball court.

"Who wants to drive?" Aisha asks.

"I will." Tommy replies.

"Ok. I'm gonna go change." Kim says.

"Me too." Aisha replies.

"Alright, hurry up girls.' Tommy smiles, "You know how I hate to be late."

"YAH RIGHT!" the girls laugh as they all head inside.

Aisha and Kim tie their hair back in their signature color bandanas and change into black shorts and signature colored tank tops.

"Alright, lets jet." Aisha smiles as they head into Tommy's car.

Their three on three teams always consisted of the Older Rangers on one side, the Newer Rangers on the other, at least when that dealt with volleyball.

"Alright!" Aisha says throwing the volleyball to Rocky, "Our serve. Let's play!"

"Alright, Zero serving Zero." Rocky says, serving the ball over the net.

"Gotta be faster than that Rocko." Kimberly giggles, after setting the ball for Billy who spikes it over.

"Our serve." Tommy smiles as the ball is lobbed in his direction. After the new rangers fail to return the ball he says, "I believe the score is zero serving one." He smiles.

"And I believe it's our serve." Aisha says, giving Adam a high five, after a spectacular spike, causing Kimberly to nosedive into the sand.

"Good spike Adam." Kim says, brushing the sand off her shirt and pants, she looks back at Tommy who nods. They know what is coming next. They play back and Adam serves high. Tommy lifts Kim up by her waste and she spikes the ball down.

"HEY!" Adam says, laughing, "You are SO cheating!"

"There is nothing in the rules saying you can't have help. You need to get more moves Frog." Tommy teases.

"Whatever." He says, "We'll still win."

"Sure you will." Billy says, smiling.

They tie the end of the game. Each side one once before it got too dark to see. They all head back to their houses, Tommy takes Aisha and Kim and they call it a night.

"Hi girls." Mrs. Campbell calls.

"Hi mom."

"Hi Mrs. Campbell."

"Where were you two tonight?"

"The park playing volleyball with the guys." Kim replies.

"Are you hungry?"

"Not really." They smile.

"You wanna go watch a movie?" Aisha asks.

"Yeah!" Kim says, as they head upstairs to Aisha's room to watch TV.

"God…" Aisha says, as they watch a romantic comedy, "I wish I could find a guy like that."

"Guys like that don't exist."

Aisha turns to look at her, "What! Girl, you have the perfect man."

"He's not perfect."

"He's damn near close. He treats you like a goddess, he will tell you how beautiful you are and show affection no matter who is around, he invites you out, and you do the same. You two have this unbreakable bond between two people. It's amazing. If I ever find someone half as committed as Tommy is, then I'd have it made." She laughs.

"He is pretty great isn't he?" Kim says, dreamily.

"He definitely is." She smiles.

"I don't know Aisha, I've just loved him for so long. I mean since tenth grade. The first time I saw him I liked him."

"That's what Trini and Zack say." Aisha giggles.

"You'll find the guy of your dreams." Kim says, "What about Zack?"

"I barely know him." She says, shrugging. "Maybe if they ever came back to Angel Grove then I'd consider it. He's cute."

"Yeah, he is."

"Hey, can I ask you something, kind of personal about him?"

"Um, sure."

"Not that it really matters, but do you know how he lost his middle finger?"

"Well…" She says, biting her lip, "When we were in Seventh Grade, we had metal and wood shop. He was working with a saw and two kids were goofing off around him. They elbowed him and his left finger took most of the brunt. How he hit it, the saw went right down the left side of his finger, across the bottom and sliced up his pointer finger. The tip of his pointer finger was hanging off, but his middle was completely severed. Too many of the arteries were crushed and they couldn't reattach it, so he learned to deal without it."

Aisha looked at her friend open mouthed, "Did you see it?"

"Yeah, Jason and I were in the class with him. It was really awful. And he only let out one scream and then he kept it together. I mean, you could tell it hurt, but he is pretty relaxed and was probably in shock now that I think about it, but yea, we really don't talk about that day that much. It doesn't even bother him." Kim smiles, "That's what I like about him."

"Jeeze, I'm sorry I asked."

"You should hear the whole story he gave Tommy when he asked about his finger. It was hilarious. It included a karate tournament, sword mess-up, and a few other things that only he could dream up."

Aisha laughs, "Well, now I don't have to ask him." She winks, "I was just always curious."

"Yeah, most people are."

"But yeah, you don't know how lucky you are to have him. Many girls would kill for him, and guys for you."

Kim laughs, blushing, "you'll find your guy. I really think you and Zack will hit it off though…"

"We'll see." Aisha smiles, turning her attention back to the TV.

March 24, 1994

Dear Diary,

Gosh, school is quickly coming to an end, and that means that I will be moving out of the country. I am going to talk to my mom later on about just seeing her on the breaks and stay here for high school. I don't want to move out of the country. That discussion is going to be a long conversation. I am not looking forward to it.

Zack, Trini and Jase are coming home again for a visit in a few weeks. I can't wait to see them. It's gonna be a blast. I think I'm gonna try and set Zack and Aisha up, or at least get them together to hang out quite a few times. I think they'll really like each other.

Aisha got this job working at the Vet's office and she loves it. She volunteers and helps out. Everything is going so great for her! Me, I'm busy working on gymnastics. Speaking of which, I have to head to the youth center. I don't know what I'd do without gymnastics. I mean, it's not my life, it's just a part of it. That's good enough for me!

Love,

Kimberly

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 to see in the story. 

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

Thanks!
