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.

Sorry, this took so long, I was in a serious car accident and haven't been able to write for a while.

Dear Diary,


Well, in two days we have our finals of our junior year of high school. We all have been studying none-stop for our finals, which are going to be tough, well for me at least. I have had to divide my time between school and gymnastics. Gymnastics has been taking priorities over almost everything, my friends and my life. I feel bad because Tommy and I really haven't been spending enough time together. I know that he understands, I mean Pan Globals has been my dream for ages, along with the Olympics, but I still feel bad. I think that tonight we are just gonna go to the park or something for a bit. I miss him, even though I see him all the time still, at school, when we're fighting, out with friends, but I miss it just being us. I should probably call him and see if he wants to go out.

Love,

Kim

Kimberly picks up the phone and dials the familiar seven numbers. She wraps the cord around her finger a few times, before someone on the other line picked up, "Hello?"

"Hi Mrs. Oliver."

"Hi Kimberly, how are you honey?"

"Good thanks, you?"

"Good. How's gymnastics going?"

"Great! I mean, it's time consuming but it's great." She smiles.

"I bet. Let me guess, you want my son."

"If it's not too much trouble."

"Hang on." She says, pulling the phone away from her mouth, "Tommy! Phone! It's Kimberly!" She brings the phone back up, "He'll be right there. You come over and see me soon ok?"

"I will I promise." Kim says.

"Hey Kim."

"Hey Tommy."

"I'll talk to you soon Kimberly."

"Bye Mrs. Oliver." Kimberly says as the phone is hung up, "What's going on?"

"Not much, you?" He smiles.

"Nothing. I was wondering if you wanna go out tonight? Just to the park or something. Are you busy?"

"No, I can do that." He smiles brightly. "Taking the night off?"

"Yeah, I miss you." She smiles.

"You see me every day."

"But it's not the same." She sighs.

"What time tonight?"

"What about like seven?"

"Sounds great." He smiles. "I'll pick you up."

"Alright, see you then."

"Ok, I love you."

"You too Tommy, bye."

And with that, they hang up the phone.

Kimberly opens her science book and decides to study for an hour, until seven when Tommy comes. Aisha comes in around 6:45, "Hey."

"Hey."

"Do you feel like going to the mall?"

"Nah, not tonight, I'm gonna head to the park with Tommy. I haven't been with him in a while."

"Cool." Aisha smiles.

"How's the vet?"

"I love it! It's so great helping out with the animals. I feel ad for the sick ones, but that comes with the job."

"I bet." She smiles, standing up, running a brush through her hair and putting on her makeup.

"You're just getting ready?"

"This is Tommy we are talking about." Kimberly laughs, "I could get a shower, blow dry my hair and still be ready by the time he is here."

"Good point. I think I'll drag Rocky with me to the mall."

"I'll go tomorrow." Kim smiles.

"Yeah, but you won't carry my bags." She winks.

"Ah, yah, be ready to buy him dinner."

"Hmm… less money for me to spend. Ok, tomorrow."

"You got it."

"So, have you talked to your mom yet?"

"Not yet." Kim sighs, "I really don't wanna leave Angel Grove."

"What about if it were for Pan Globals?"

"Do you know how slim of a chance that is, that I'll even make it? I mean, I don't even have a coach!"

"Well, it's a possibility, and I'm pretty sure you will."

"We'll see."

"So, did your dad get settled?"

"Yeah. I really miss them, especially Mackenzie. I mean, I watched her grow up for seven months, and now, I won't see her until July. She won't even remember me."

"Sure she will. Don't worry about that."

"Oh well… I mean…" She begins but hears the doorbell.

"That can't be Tommy yet, can it?"

"I doubt it, it's 6:59." She laughs.

"KIMBERLY! TOMMY'S HERE!" Mr. Campbell calls up the stairs.

"He must really miss you." Aisha giggles.

"I'll be damned, he's early." Kimberly laughs, "I'll see you later on."

"Have fun." Aisha smiles as she heads back into her bedroom.

Kimberly bounds down the stairs and smiles when she sees him, "You're early."

"Why so surprised?"

"Because it's you." She laughs, as she hugs him.

"What time should I expect you Kim?"

Kim smiles, "I'll be home by nine 'mom'."

Mrs. Campbell smiles, "Alright. Bye kids."

"Bye." They say and head outside to his car. It was a very warm night so they drove down to the park with the windows open.

Tommy parks the car and they walk hand in hand down the path to the lake, "So, you ready for finals?"

"Ugh" Kim sighs, "I'm getting there I guess. I hate finals."

"Me too." He shakes his head.

"I'm sorry we haven't really seen much of each other the past few weeks."

"Hey, I understand how much this gymnastics competition means to you. We'll still be us after all this is over, or during it. It's like when I always was practicing for the karate tournaments, we'll get through it." He smiles, kissing her cheek. "Have you talked to your mom yet?"

"Not yet, but I'm gonna call her this week. I am just gonna say I wanna stay in Angel Grove. I kind of think she is expecting it, but it will be hard I fear for her. I'm heading out this summer to see my dad for two weeks, and you are more than welcome to come with me if you'd like."

"I may take you up on that offer. When are you going?"

"July."

"Hmm…" He smiles, "We'll see."

She sits down on the sand just out of reach of the water and pulls him down with her. She wraps her arms around his waste and leans against him, occasionally smiling up at him. "I've missed this… it seems like Rita and Zedd know exactly when the two of us are together to ruin it."

He laughs, "They do have impeccable timing."

"Everything happens for a reason I guess."

"Yeah. How's your garden?"

"It's awesome! You'll have to come and see it soon. It's really growing and is pretty."

"I bet." Tommy says, mocking her a bit.

"Hey tough guy, you asked." She says, jabbing him in the side.

Tommy laughs, "I did didn't I?"

"Yeah." She says, "I can't believe everything that's happened over the past year. It's been crazy hasn't it?"

"Yeah, it has." He says. "It's been one hell of a couple years."

"I can't believe we'll be seniors next year. Then college. It seems like yesterday I was moving from Seattle to here. I'm not use to staying in one place for so long."

"Me neither." He laughs.

"You moved what twice?" She says, "I've moved six."

"Three times."

"I still beat you."

"Watch it little girl or you're going into the water."

"You wouldn't dare." She says.

"You wanna bet on that?" He says, giving her a look.

"No, not really, but I know you wouldn't." She smiles, leaning back against him.

"Well, not tonight." He smiles, kissing her cheek. "What time do you have to be home?"

"I told Mrs. Campbell around 9:00. I could probably get away till around 9:30 though."

"So, what should we do? We have a whole hour." He laughs.

"I don't know, let's just walk and see where it takes us." She smiles.

"Youth Center?"

Kim laughs, "The Mall?"

"I'll go anywhere." He smiles.

"Ok, let's hit the mall then." She grins, getting a small groan from him, "Don't worry, I don't have much money with me."

"Good." He laughs as they head to his car.

"We'll grab coffee or something."

"Sounds like a plan." He smiles at her.

They drive the short distance to the mall, head directly for the coffee shop and talk until 9:00, when they decide that Kim best be getting home. "So, is this the last time we'll be together for a while?" He laughs.

"No." She says, playfully swatting his arm.

"Besides fighting?"

"NO!" She says, "I promise, we'll go out very soon. I promise." She smiles.

He kisses her, "Alright, I'll see you tomorrow at school."

"I think Aisha and I are walking. It's suppose to be a really nice day."

"That's alright, so am I." He smiles.

"Ok, we'll meet you at the top of her street then tomorrow at seven."

"You got it." He smiles, before leaning in to give her another quick kiss.

"I love you."

"You too." Tommy smiles, as she gets out of her car. He watches her head up to the house and disappear inside after a final wave. He watches the door close and the light go out, before he pulls away from the curb and heads the short distance to his house.

June 15, 1994

Dear Diary,

Well, mom called me today, and it didn't go too well. I think I really hurt her. I just can't leave Angel Grove now, and she just doesn't understand it! My entire life is here, not in France. I know I told her that I would move at the end of the year, but I just can't bring myself to moving yet. I mean, what about the Pan Global Tryouts? What if I decide to try out? What if I make it? I have the responsibility of a Power Ranger, and I just can't give that up, not for moving to another country! I won't see my friends, and what about Tommy and I? I mean, I love him more than anything, I can't leave him. I won't ever see him.

Ugh, well… let's get back to the conversation my mom and I had. It started off perfectly…

Kimberly and Aisha were busy studying in Kimberly's' room for their last final tomorrow. It was Chemistry and neither of them were too excited about the test. "I don't know how I am going to pass this tomorrow." Aisha groans.

"Ugh, god I know. I mean the Periodic Table is way too tough to memorize. I don't know how Billy has done it since he was little."

Aisha shrugs, as they hear the phone ring. "I wonder who that is."

"I don't know, but I think your mom got it." Kim says, noticing the phone has gone silent.

"KIMBERLY!" Mrs. Campbell calls up to her after a few minutes, "Your mother's on the phone honey."

"Ok." Kim calls back down and picks up the phone in her room. "Hello?"

"Hi honey."

"Hi mom." Kim smiles, "How are you?"

"I'm well how are you?"

"Great!" She smiles.

"Great? Mrs. Campbell tells me you have a Chemistry Exam tomorrow. Are you studying?"

"Yes mother. Aisha and I are studying now, well, we were until you called." Kim smiles.

"Ok smart girl. Look, I don't want to keep you long, but we need to discuss your moving to France this summer."

"Oh…" Kimberly says a bit forlorn.

"We had an agreement Kimberly…"

"I know mom, but I want to talk to you about that too…"

"Ok. Talk." Caroline says, a bit impatient.

"I think that I want to stay here, and finish out High School. I really don't think that I should have to move my senior year."

"I knew this was going to happen Kimberly, I just knew it."

"Mom, I did plan on moving, but I have been thinking. My life is here." She says, trying to keep her voice calm, but her tone caught Aisha's ear and she looks up at her friend with compassion.

"Your life is with your mother Kimberly. You don't have a choice in this."

"Why don't I!" She says, raising her voice. Aisha takes that note to pick her book up and walk out of the room, closing her best friends' door. "This is MY Life mother, not yours. If I want to stay in Angel Grove and finish up my senior year, you should let me!"

"Because, I don't want you imposing on the Campbell's any more than you already have.

It is quite an imposition having two teenage girls who happen to be best friends under the same roof. I know it has to be wearing on Lilly and Michael."

"No it's no mom! They are fine with me. I don't want to leave my senior year. I have a boyfriend, I have school, I have my friends, my gymnastics."

"Tommy can visit as well as your friends, you will make new friends, you will go to school still, AND you will still be able to do Gymnastics."

"What about the language?"

"I had to learn a new language Kim, and you can too."

"No. Mom, no. I don't want my entire senior year to be spent learning a new language."

"You'll catch on. Kimberly, your life is with me and Pierre. You need to be with me Kim. You don't understand this now, but you'll get it."

"Mom, I don't want to leave here, and you can't make me. I'd rather move in with dad than leave the country and start all over again."

"You can't. It's not in the custody."

"You want to throw that at me? I'm 17 years old. The courts will allow me to live with what ever parent I want to live with. You have no say anymore, and they will agree taking your daughter out of the country her senior year is asinine! I'm staying either in Angel Grove or moving to Boston with dad, and that's final!"

"Fine, you do that Kimberly, and while you're at it, don't even come out here to visit ok? You just enjoy your life and your friends and your father."

"Mom! I want to visit, I never said that. I still want to come out there I just can't live there."

"I'm done talking to you Kimberly. We had an agreement and instead you are going to do your own thing."

"You don't understand!"

"I understand perfectly. Good night Kimberly." Caroline says, and hangs up the phone.

She just doesn't understand what it is like to be a kid again. I am so frustrated with her. I don't even want to speak to her! Aisha got up and left the room, which was probably for the best. She knew I needed some privacy. That's what I love about her. She knows what to say and when to say it. Anyway, I think I'm gonna go study. Chemistry is more important than my mother right now.

Love,

Kimberly

She sighs, and places her diary away, before picking up the chem. book again. She mumbles things to herself, but settles down and reads. Aisha sticks her head in her friends room about an hour later, "Well?"

"She doesn't understand." Kim huffs.

"Kim…"

"No Aisha, she doesn't. She doesn't understand that I don't have to live with her. My father would be perfectly willing to take me in. It would be better than me moving to France."

"Mom and dad already offered here for you until next year…"

"Mom doesn't seem to understand that. She keeps calling me an imposition and I'm not. I pull my weight around here. She just doesn't understand that I can't leave. I can't leave the team."

"What about Pan Globals?"

"What about it?"

"If you make the team you'll be leaving us…"

Kim keeps quiet, thinking over her friends comment, "Yeah, but we'll cross that bridge when we get to it. I don't want to move to France."

"Maybe she'll come to her senses…" Aisha sighs, "Let's just finish studying. Come on, there's only one more day of school left. We both need to do well on this exam too. I mean, we are so close to an A, but if we screw this up, we could be getting C's."

"I know." Kim says, "Alright, Carbon…"

Kimberly and Aisha study for the rest of the day. They head to school on Friday for their final half day of school, and when they finish the all head to Ernie's outdoor café, that just opened.

June 18, 1994

Dear Diary,

Well, today was a pretty good day. Aisha and I were heading home from the Vet when she found this gorgeous white cat. Oh my gosh she is so cute! So, we took her to the Vet and she was healthy. Aisha's boss said we could keep her if no one clamed her by the end of the day, and well, no one claimed her so she's ours! She's in Aisha's room right now, which is fine by me ha-ha. She decided to name the cat P.C. I thought it was short for Pretty Crazy, because that cat is nuts, and a bit temperamental. Aisha said it was for Park Cat, since we found her in the park, but I'm still going for Pretty Crazy.

We also made a new friend today. Her name is Katherine Hilliard, or Kat. She's from Australia and seems really nice. She's tall and has long blonde hair. She's really pretty. Tommy and I were getting ready for our date today, to the movies and she was having car trouble, so of course, Tommy can't leave a damsel in distress, or he would have left me a long time ago ha-ha, so he went out to see what he could do. The ended up getting attacked by Rita, sent on a crazy car ride, he passed out, but we got them back, and from there on, we hung out for the afternoon. She does seem cool, and I absolutely love her accent. It's so neat!

Anyway, I gotta go, Tommy and I are heading back out tonight to hopefully finish our date un-interrupted.

June 22, 1994

Dear Diary,

It's gone… my power coin. It's completely gone. I have no idea what happened, but it fell into Rita and Zedd's hands somehow. I… I just am at ends with it. We went to the park today, and suddenly, just like that, it's gone. I felt weird after we morphed into ninja's and had to call Tommy over to help me. I just felt so sick to my stomach and dizzy. I couldn't shake the feeling. When we went back, it was gone.

The day started off great, Kat, Aisha, and I hung out. We went to the lake, and then all hell broke lose. I ended up passing out for a while, then suddenly waking up to help Kat, but I couldn't fight them off. I was too weak. The next thing I knew, Tommy was there, in a he put me on the grass before I was teleported away to the Command Center.

I'm just really glad Kat wasn't hurt.

So, now, here I am, knowing exactly how Tommy felt when he lost the green ranger powers. I feel so empty, so… I don't know how to explain it. It's almost like a piece of my soul was ripped from my body, kind of the way I would fell if Tommy and I ever broke up. I guess this is the end of the Pink Ranger. I don't even have a Shogun Zord. I have to double with Tommy, which is fine, but it's weird not being able to power my own.

I just don't know what to do. The guys all want to go out today, but I just can't. I'm still so tired and weak from everything. All I feel like I can do is sleep…

Anyway, I guess that's it for now. I think I'm gonna go relax a bit.

Love,

Kimberly- Former Pink Ranger

Aisha and Tommy were heading back to the Campbell residence. They wanted to try and cheer up Kimberly, "How is she today?" Tommy asks.

"I don't know. She has been sleeping most of it. I heard her moving around before I went to the Youth Center, but it was only a shower. I can't blame her though. If I lost my coin, I think I'd be just as depressed…."

"She just understands what happens if we don't get it back. She's seen it through first hand. When I lost the green ranger powers, I could only fuel off of the others for like ten battles tops, and I got weaker as the days went on. She knows what's coming if we can't get her coin back… and god, I'll kill them myself if it stops her from feeling the same pain I felt."

Aisha sighs, "I hope to god I never feel the loss of a power…."

"I hope no one does." Tommy sighs. "I just hope she is ok…"

"She's strong Tommy, she'll be ok." Tommy nods and follows Aisha into her house. "Kimberly!" Aisha calls. "Maybe she's sleeping?"

Tommy and Aisha head upstairs and sure enough, she was sleeping on her bed with the TV on. Tommy walks over to her, kisses her cheek. She stirs and opens her eyes, "Hey, I didn't mean to wake you up."

"I wasn't really sleeping." She says, sitting up.

"Well good, so I don't feel as bad." He smiles, "How ya holding up?" He asks, rubbing her arm.

"I'm hanging." She says, sighing.

"I know how hard it is Kim…"

"I know you do." She replies as she leans into his shoulder, feeling his arms wrap around her.

"I just don't know what to do anymore. I am just so glad that Kat is ok."

"Me too." He sighs, "It's awful thinking something could have happened to her, an innocent friend of ours."

"Yeah."

"So are you feeling any stronger?"

"Did you?"

"No…" He sighs, "I promise you, we'll find your coin… we'll get it back Kimberly."

She smiles sadly at Tommy, "I'm not going to hold my breath."

He kisses her cheek, but he couldn't sit there and tell she has to believe everything's going to be alright, especially after his coin was taken. It's the worst feeling in the world, and he will stop at nothing to stop the pain coursing through his girlfriend. "Do you wanna go to the lake, or the youth center? Work out a bit?"

"Yeah… ok." She says, standing up. She was tired, because of gymnastics all day but wanted to spend time with her boyfriend. If sparing was a way to get her mind off the current situation, she'd gladly try it.

They get to the gym and Tommy and Kimberly stretch. "Go easy on me Tommy." She winks.

"Every time you say that, I end up on my back."

"I don't' think I have the energy to beat you today."

"Ok, bow." He smiles, before going through some easy moves with her. Sitting at the table was Katherine, watching the pair very closely. Kimberly spotted her and shuddered. Something about Kat was bothersome to the Pink Ranger, but Kimberly couldn't put her finger on it. She began to feel a bit dizzy and closed her eyes after about twenty minutes of sparing.

"You ok?"

"I just feel… weird." She sighs, closing her eyes a few times trying to clear her head.

"Come on, let's go sit down. You're over doing it." He says, "You want a drink?"

"Just water." She says, sitting down at the usual table, across from Katherine. Tommy goes up to Ernie to grab her a bottle of water, "Ernie, can I get a water?"

"Yeah, for Kim?"

"Yeah."

"Is she ok? She seems a bit tired… or weak."

"She's done nothing but practiced for the tryouts for Pan Globals, she's just tired. She could be getting the flu or something though."

"Well, here ya go."

"Thanks Ernie."

"No problem Tommy." He smiles, as Tommy walks over to his girlfriend.

"Here."

"Thanks." She says, taking a sip of water.

"Hi Tommy, Kimberly."

"Hey Kat." They say.

"Tommy, I really appreciate you looking at my car. It was really sweet of you."

"Oh, yeah, that, any time." He says, smiling nicely.

Kimberly looks at Kat with a bit of annoyance. 'She's always here… but I know that h he's my boyfriend. He loves me, not her. She's just new and he's being friendly" she constantly tells herself.

"Kimberly you look tired."

"I'm fine. "She smiles nicely at Kat. "How are you today?"

"I'm well, thank you."

"Kat, you should really come with us in on Friday to the mall. Aisha and I are heading out there for some fun of shopping, just the girls."

"That sounds like a good idea." Kat smiles, "What time?"

"Meet us here, tomorrow around 10:00."

"I will." Kat smiles, "I really must run now though, so I will see you soon."

"Ok, bye Kat." Tommy says.

"Bye Tommy, Kimberly."

"Bye."

Tommy looks back at Kim, "You feeling better?"

"Starting too." She says, taking a sip of water.

Tommy smiles at her, "It'll be ok."

She favors him with a smile and a nod, but wonders, how it is going to be alright.

June 25, 1994

Dear Diary,


Today the most amazing thing happened. I read in the paper that Coach Gunthar Schmidt is coming to Angel Grove! Oh my gosh, I was reading the paper, waiting for Tommy and I freaked! It just so happened to be the same time Tommy was sitting down, and he made a comment about still having that affect on me, or something. To be honest, I wasn't really listening haha.


Anyway, I was heading to meet him and my car got stolen, then the cab I took with Bulk and Skull turned into a crazy monster… long story short, I got out, kicked the crap out of the monster with the help of my powers and the other Rangers, and we saved the day. I wasn't able to catch Coach Schmidt, but I think I can at the tryouts tomorrow. I'm gonna go and introduce myself. It should be fun. Tommy told me he'd go with me for moral support, but I think I can do it myself.

I'M GONNA MEET COACH SCHMIDT!

Love,

Kim

June 27, 1994

Dear Diary,

A lot has happened over the past few days. I can't believe how exciting the news is. Well, Coach Schmidt, I met him, and he wanted to see me practice, so he comes to the Youth Center, sees a part of my bar routine and asks about my coach and if he could talk to them about my training. Well, since I don't have a coach, he felt that it 'wasn't right' and he wants to train me for a bit so I can try out for the competition! Can you believe that? Training for Pan Globals. I am so excited! This is probably the biggest news I have had since becoming a Power Ranger. Ahh! I can't believe it! Well, I begin training with him at 9:00 sharp tomorrow. I talked to Zordon and he totally understands. I can't believe that he was ok with this. I guess it's because I know it won't totally interfere with being a Power Ranger. I'm just a communicator call away from morphing and jumping into action. God, I have wanted this for so long and now it's finally happening!"

Anyway, I better hit the hay for a long day tomorrow.

Love,

Kimberly

"I really don't want you to be working out in there alone Kim. We've had a rough day, I mean, you passed out."

"Tommy, I promise, I'll be fine. Coach said that he's gonna try and stop by tonight. I have to practice."

"Don't you want me there to spot you or something?"

"You shouldn't have too. Don't worry." She smiles, kissing him before grabbing her bag and heading into the youth center after one more wave. "Hi Ernie."

"Oh, hey Kimberly."

"Thanks for letting me practice. I really appreciate it."

"No problem. Are you sure you'll be ok? You look a bit tired."

"Yeah, I'll be fine." She smiles, putting her bag down, "Coach Schmidt says he'll be stopping by."

"Ok… well, lock up when you are finished ok?"

"I will. Thanks again." She smiles one more time, before kicking off her shoes and mounting the beam. "Whoa." She says, as she sees the beam split in double. She clears her head by shaking it before starting her routine. "Dammit Kimberly, focus."
After a few passages of her routine, and a back handspring that goes bad, she feels herself falling and hearing someone call out, "KIMBERLY! NO!" Then, blackness.

"Bright lights." Kimberly thinks as she slowly comes to. "Mmm." She groans, trying to make some kind of movement.

"She fell and hit her head really hard." Katherine was telling the doctor, while holding her new friends hand.

"Fell…" Kimberly thinks, before realization hits her. She couldn't talk and could barely open her eyes, but she could understand her doctors questions and Katherine being there, then she was ushered away.

"Ok Kimberly, we're going to take some pictures of your head and neck, try and relax." The ER Doctor explains, "Try not to move."

While in the waiting room, Katherine was able to find Tommy's number in Kimberly's planner. She dials the number from the payphone, "Hello?"

"Tommy?"

"Kat?"

"Yeah."

"Uh, hey, what's up?"

"It's Kimberly… Tommy, she fell off the balance beam and is at the hospital. I found her and called the doctors and came here… It's all my fault…."

"Is she ok!" He asks, fear coursing through his body.

"I don't know. She's getting examined now."

"I'll be right down." He says, hanging up the phone. He call's Billy and Aisha, and the they relay the message to the other two. By the time Tommy gets there, Katherine is sitting on the chair, chewing on her nails.

"Any news?" He asks, startling the Aussie.

"No, nothing. It's all my fault…" Kat says again, "I'm sorry."

"Sorry? Katherine, you were there for her when she fell. You didn't cause her to fall, she was tired today and I should have stayed and spotted her. I… think I'm gonna go see if they know anything." He replies as he heads to the nursing station.

It wasn't until the next morning when they heard any news on Kim. Billy, Kat, and Tommy stayed in the waiting room awaiting any news on their fallen friend. Tommy and Billy were on the phone most of the night calling Kim's mom, Jason, Trini and Zack.

"How you holding up man?" Billy asks.

"I'm hanging. I really feel like I should have done something to stop her…"

"Don't think that way. Man, Katherine's taking it hard."

"Yeah… she is blaming herself, but I told her it wasn't her fault. She didn't cause Kim to fall." He sigh.

"Are you Kimberly's friends?"

"Yeah, how is she?" Tommy asks the Doctor.

"She's awake. She should be fine, no lasting damage, she is a very lucky girl."

"Can we see her?"

"Yeah, but one at a time. I'll take you to her."

"Go on Tommy, I'll call the others." Billy says. Tommy eagerly accepts and heads back to the room.

Three hours later, when the Rangers are called into battle Kimberly is exhausted, and almost glad Zordon forced her to stay in the room and rest. "I am so stupid. I can't believe I messed up that handspring. I mean, I haven't messed it up in ages!"

"How you feeling?" Katherine says, coming into her room.

"Hey Kat, better. I just wanna go home."

"I'm sorry Kim…"

"About what?"

"It's all my fault. I couldn't stop them Kimberly… I am so sorry… I…"

"Katherine… Kat, what are you talking about?"

"I couldn't help myself." She says, practically in tears, "Kim, I took your power coin…"

"You what!" She says, "You know?"

"Zedd and Rita captured me, and turned me evil. I didn't know what I was doing until it was too late. Kimberly, I don't know what happened. One second I am walking around Angel Grove, the next minute I'm a damn cat!"

"P.C."

"Yes, P.C. That was me."

"Aisha is going to be so mad at you?"

"Huh! Why!"

"She loved that cat," Kim teases getting a small smile from Katherine that immediately turns serious again.

"Kim, if you never want to talk to me again…"

"Kat, it's not your fault. Rita and Zedd's magic is super powerful."

"I feel awful."

Kim sighs, "Kat, do you know how Tommy lost his powers?"

"No."

Not noticing Tommy and the rest came in, "I was captured by Rita and given the green ranger powers. Jason, Trini, Zack, Billy and Kimberly helped me overcome the evil and gain control of the powers, until Rita created the green candle and drained my powers completely. Then, I had a second chance and became the white ranger."

"I just can't believe I did it… I can't apologize enough."

"You don't have to Kat. I understand." Kim says, a bit upset at the fact that her coin was stolen by a friend, but understands that it wasn't totally her fault.

Dear Diary,

Well, I got out of the hospital today, after falling on the beam, and I am not going to lie to you, I am a bit nervous about getting back on the beam. That fall, I mean, what will happen if I fall again? I just can't shake it.

Kat asked me to meet her at the pool today, and I agreed. Tommy is gonna come with me. I guess I'll have to see what's going on. She hates the water.

Love,

Kimberly

Dear Diary,

I made it! Coach wants me to join them down in Miami Florida to train for Pan Globals. I am so excited, but I don't want to leave either. I feel almost like they are pushing me out. Yes, it's my dream, but I should decide, not my friends.

I passed my powers onto Katherine today. I think she will be a great Ranger. She is kind and already knows about us, so she seemed like a great choice. She'll learn to fight. I know that the guys will teach her.

I now know what it feels like to leave the team. I know what Jason, Zack, and Trini felt. This is my dream though, and I have to go. Tommy said that. I really don't want to lose him.

I'm packing up now, because in two days, I'm flying out. The Campbell's are going to be shipping my larger things down, of course I will be paying them, but my TV, VCR, Stereo, and a few other things will be arriving in a couple days down in sunny Miami.

Well, at least I don't have to make my decision about leaving Angel Grove for Paris. Mom understands. I'm so nervous though. I'm babbling… I know I am. Anyway, I have two days before I leave… two days. It's happening so fast. Too fast. I just don't know what is going to happen.

I guess I'll just have to wait and see,

Love,

Kimberly

Dear Diary,

Tomorrow's the day…..

"Aisha! Do you know where my hairdryer is?"

"Last time I saw it, it was in our bathroom." She calls from across the hall.

"It's not there…"

"Did you pack it?"

Kim looks at the boxes on her bed, "I am totally not going through the boxes to find out." She says, brushing her hair away from her face. All she has done today is pack. She didn't take the time to do her hair or even put make up on. 'Who am I going to be trying to impress today anyway?' was her reasoning. Tommy took her out last night for their last night together. She stayed over his house, and they stayed up almost all night, talking and just spending time with each other.

"Kim, I have a pair of your shoes…"

"Which ones?"

"The black yellow and pink ones."

"Keep them." Kim says.

"Are you sure?"

"Yeah. They go better with your black and yellow skirt than they do with my clothes."

"Thanks." Aisha says, sitting down on Kim's bed. "I'm really gonna miss you."

"I'll be back. I promise." Kim says.

"There is always a place here for you." Aisha says.

"Let's not do this." Kim says, getting a bit choked up. "We aren't saying good bye. I'm only going till Pan Globals is over, and then, I'll be back to finish up High School."

Aisha smiles, "I know. I'll still miss you."

"I'll miss you too." Kim says, as she sits next to her best friend, laying her head on her shoulder. Aisha tilts her head to lay it on top of Kim's head.

"Kimberly?" Aisha's mom calls up.

"Yes?"

"Do you need anymore boxes honey?"

"Three more should do it, if you have it." Kim says, sighing.

"I thought Tommy was coming over to help you finish packing."

"He was, but he has a class to teach. It isn't over till almost 10 and I am going to be done by then." Kim says, smiling at Mrs. Campbell. "I think Kat and Rocky are coming over later though."

"I'll keep an ear out for them."

"Thanks a lot."

At 8:00, there is a knock on the door. Aisha was downstairs so she opens it. "What are you doing here?" She asks Tommy.

"Hello to you too Aisha." He smiles, "Rocky took over Adam and my class for me. Where's Kimberly?"

"Upstairs packing, I'll get…"

"No, I'll go up and get her." He says, winking at her. "Keep quiet."

"She's gonna flip."

"Why?"

"She didn't expect you to be here today… and she isn't 'properly groomed'."

"She could be naked and I wouldn't mind." Tommy says, getting a look from Aisha, "You know what I mean." He laughs.

"Get up there." Aisha says, swatting at her friend.

Tommy quietly makes it up the stairs, waving to Mrs. Campbell as he reaches the top of the steps. She smiles and keeps quiet. He stands by the doorway watching his girlfriend for a few minutes. Kimberly was still trying to pack. She was beginning to put her picture albums into a box, when he decides to make his move. He walks over to her and she feels arms wrap around her waste and herself being pulled into a strong embrace. She is startled at first and turns quickly around, "What are you doing here!" She asks, hugging him.

"Rocky covered for me so I could see you tonight."

She smiles, but then gets self conscious, "I look a mess! I wish you would have told me that you were coming over." She says, trying to fix her hair, but is stopped by Tommy.

"You look beautiful." He says, kissing her forehead.

Kim looks at her outfit. She has on a tank top with a pair of black and pink shorts. "I look a mess. I don't even have makeup on…"

"You don't need it Kim. I don't care what you look like, because to me you'll always look beautiful." He says as his girlfriend blushes crimson. "What do you say you and I go out for a little while."

"I have a lot to pack still Tommy…"

"I know, and I'll help you when we get back. I wanna show you something."

"Ok, let me just get changed…"

"Come on." He says, taking her hand.

"Tommy…"

"Kim." He says looking at her with brown eyes.

She sighs, and he takes her hand, "Ok." She says. "Aisha?"

"In here." She says, poking her head out of the doorway.

"We'll be back in a little while." Kim says.

"Have fun." She says, watching her two friends walk down the stairs.

He opens the door for Kimberly like he always does, and then they get into the car.

"Where are we going?"

"You'll see." He says, patting her leg as he drives. Kim takes his hand and looks out the window. They drive up to Angel Grove Bluff and he stops.

"Let's go." He says, as they get out of the car and climb up to the top of the bluff. He sits down and pulls her down in-between his legs, leaning her up against him. "It's our last sunset for a while together Kim. I didn't want to miss it."

"I'm going to miss you so much Tommy." She says, tears welling up in her eyes.

"Hey, we'll see each other. I'll come down during our breaks, and when you have a break you can come back. We'll talk on the phone, we'll write letters. It will work out. We'll make it work."

"Promise?"

"I promise." He says, kissing her tears away. "I love you."

"I love you too." She says, turning her attention back to the sunset.

They sit there, holding each other till the stars came out. Around 9:30, Tommy says, "We should probably get back so we can finish packing you up."

"Yeah." She sighs, not wanting to leave him.

"Come on." He says as she stands up and she helps pull him up.

"Thank you for this Tommy."

He smiles and takes her hand, "I'd do anything for you. You know that."

She smiles and nods. It was 9:30 when they get back to the Campbell house. Tommy and Kim go upstairs and finish packing her things. By 11:00 she was packed completely. They moved the boxes downstairs, and then they end up back upstairs. "I can't believe how empty this room is now." She sighs.

"You need to do this Kim."

"I know…"

"It's your dream. We'll still be here when you get home."

Kim smiles and stands on her tippy toes to kiss him, "Do you have to leave already?" She asks.

"Yeah. You need to get some sleep anyway. I'll be here tomorrow at 10 ok?"

"How about 9:00?" She asks.

"We'll see." He smiles. "Get some sleep."

She walks him downstairs and to his car. He kisses her good night, "I love you Tommy…"

"I'll see you tomorrow. I love you too beautiful." He says, giving her one last kiss, and then starts his car up, driving down the driveway. Kim watches him drive away and waves as he beeps. She goes back inside and upstairs, lying down with the white tiger animal Tommy gave her a year ago when she was in the hospital because she couldn't shake her flu and ended up with an extremely high fever. He stayed with her even though she begged him to leave so he wouldn't get it. He stayed the entire weekend with her and when they finally released her, he was over there every day after school checking up on her. She fell asleep around 12:30 holding the tiger.

Dear Diary,

Well, I'm on the plane, flying to Miami. My friends saw me off, and I didn't really want them there to begin with, but I was glad they came. Tears were shed, and I'm not really sure how I feel about leaving them. I feel like I am abandoning them, and that I won't see them again, but that's crazy. I know I will.

I miss them already… I miss Tommy, I miss my powers. Was this the right choice for me? I guess I'll figure it out. It's too late to turn back now. Wish me luck… I'm going to need it.

Love,

Kimberly

TBC…

Sorry this took so long, I was in a serious car accident New Years Eve day, around 10:00, so I'm trying to recover and all. Forgive the small mistakes or if it sucks. The next chapter will be better, I promise.

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!
