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.

A/N: The reasoning behind the letter…. All italicized words are the diary… It has been a hectic few weeks, which is the reasoning I hadn't been writing, and if this chapter stinks, I'm sorry. Next one will be more detailed and better!

A/N: I NEVER LIKED JUSTIN, SO HE IS NOT IN THIS CHAPTER, NOR ANY ONE AFTER. ROCKY DOES NOT LEAVE THE TEAM! I just decided that his back wasn't as bad as it was in the movie and went from there, so don't expect Justin.

Dear Diary,


I got a phone call yesterday from Jason telling me that he was going to head back to Angel Grove for a week or so to surprise the gang. The Little Angel Shelter is closing, and he got the phone call that they were holding a Karate tournament to raise money. Tommy, Rocky, and Adam would be the white group, and three others would be the black. Jason wants to head out and help, and asked me to come. I said yes. I'm not sure why I said yes, but I did. So, I took off a few days from gymnastics and will head home…. To a place I haven't been for a long time, almost a year. It was Christmas the last I was back. Jason told me not to worry too much, but how can I not? I haven't really talked to anyone in a while, but I know that they are still there for me, I guess. I talked to Billy before he left, which was about three months ago. Aisha and I have kept a close correspondence, but it's different because she is gone too. She keeps me updated on how the guys are. She told me that Kat and Tommy are dating, but I knew that already. That's why I broke up with him.

Anyway, I am off to Angel Grove tomorrow for a week. What could possibly go wrong? Everything.

Love,

Kim

The plane ride was fine. Kimberly was set to meet Jason when she touched down at around 11:00 that evening. They were surprising the group at the tournament held in three days.

"Kim!" She hears as she turns around to scan the crowed for the voice.

"Jason!" She smiles, throwing herself at her best friend.

"You look great Kim."

"So do you." She smiles, "How have you been?"

"Great! Let's go grab your things."

"Cool. How much do I owe ya for the hotel?"

"Nothing."

"Nothing?"

"Not a thing." He smiles, "You can buy food every now and again."

"You got it." Kim laughs. She pulls her bag off the carousel and they head to the rent a car that Jason had purchased earlier in the day. They talk the entire way until they get to the familiar Angel Grove Hotel. They check in and head upstairs.

"So, two days until the match?"

"Yeah. I already signed us up for a few bucks, and figured we could try and find the guys Saturday, and surprise them."

"Sounds good." She smiles.

"You ok with being home?"

"Yeah I guess. I mean I am really nervous, but what can I do?"

"You can relax. I know what we can do."

"Oh gosh…"

"Tomorrow, after we wake up, we'll go scuba diving."

"Ya know, that actually sounds good." She smiles.

"Well Kid, I don't know about you, but I am exhausted. I think I'm gonna go to sleep."

"Yeah me too." Kim says, as she turns down her bed. She grabs clothes to change into and heads into the bathroom. She grabs a quick shower and by the time she is done Jason is sleeping. She quietly gets into bed and sleeps until almost ten, when she hears Jason in the shower. She stretches and pulls out a violet tank top with black workout shorts. Underneath she has on a black swimsuit. If they were going scuba diving she was going to be comfortable.

Jason comes out in a black tank top and black board shorts, "Your scuba suit is in my bag."

"Why do you have it?" She asks.

"Trini actually had it. You never came for it, so she shipped it home with me to give to ya."

Kim smiles, "That sounds like Trini. Where are we picking up the tanks?"

"At the scuba shop, at noon."

"Great." She smiles.

"You tying your hair back?"

"Nah, I'll have the hood, so I'll live." She laughs, running a brush quickly through her hair.

"Are you ready?"

"Ready." She says, as she grabs her purse and they head out.

"We'll just keep all of our shit in our car." Jason says, smiling at her.

"No problem."

They drive down the familiar roads towards the ocean. It was a beautiful warm day out, and they were looking forward to diving into the warm water. "You remember how to do this?" Jason snickers.

"Of course." She says, checking her tank on the beach. "I'm good. You?"

"Yeah." Jason says, as he pulls on his mask. "Let's do this."

"Ok." She smiles, as they head into the water. After about twenty minutes of scuba diving, Kimberly feels something grab her leg. She quickly whips around in the water and comes face to face with weird looking creatures. "This isn't good…" She thought, as they grab both her and Jason, rendering them unconscious as they are pulled into a ship.

"Who are you!" Jason asks, as he looks up from the pool where they are being held captive.

"Who am I? Your worst nightmare." Divatox says, smiling.

"What the hell do you want?"

"I want what my predecessors before wanted, Rita and Zedd, to destroy the Power Rangers."

"You WONT get away with this!" Kimberly shouts up at her.

"Won't I? Or have I already?" She sneers as they close the waterproof door, leaving the two former rangers, ankle deep in water.

"Hey Kim?" Jason says, crossing his arms, scanning the room.

"Yeah?" She says, looking around for any way out.

"I think we're in big trouble."

She blows out a breath of air, "I'll say… I wish we could morph."

Jason smiles, "That would help."

At the Command Center, Tommy and the rest of the Power Team watch in horror as Divatox came on and talked to the Rangers, giving them their choice. "We have two humans here that are most important to me right now. If you turn over Lerigot, you may have them back. I believe the two humans are what do you call yourselves…. Oh yes, Power Rangers."

Tommy watches in horror as the first ranger comes into view, "KIMBERLY!" He replies forcefully but quietly, fighting the rage that was dwelling inside him, "And Jason" as the second ranger comes into view.

Katherine looks over at Tommy and sees the pain in his eyes. She gently places her arm on his wrist gently, feeling him jerk away slightly.

"You have your choice Rangers, bye bye."

"How dare her." Tommy thinks, "How dare her take Kimberly and Jason. Who the hell does she think she is! God, I haven't seen her in almost a year… and now, she's captured."

"Tommy, what do we do?" Adam asks, turning to his leader. He can tell he is hurting with the selection Divatox has taken of the former Rangers, especially with Kimberly.

A blue orb of light flows into the command center, "We destroy her." Rocky says.

"What the hell are you doing here?"

"I heard about Kim… and I am not going to let a fall on my back keep me from saving my friend."

"Are you up for it?" Adam asks.

"Yeah. Zordon, I can do this."

"Very well Rocky. We will need you during this time."

"I don't think it's a good idea…" Tanya says.

"Kim's my friend too, and Jason gave me my powers, I don't really care what you think." He says, with a smile.

Tanya sighs, but keeps quiet, patiently watching their leader with the utmost interest, "Tommy…"

""We have no choice." He says, "We need to get Kimberly and Jason out of there, then we can worry about Lerigot."

"What about Lerigot?" Kat asks, "We can't just give them him Tommy! They NEED him for something BIG."

"I know this Katherine, but Kimberly is more important that Lerigot." Tommy says, scowling at the girl, before adding in, "And the same goes for Jason."

Kat keeps quiet, knowing that they needed to get Kim and Jase out, but not wanting to give up Lerigot that easily, "So, what do you suggest?"

Tommy stops and thinks for a moment, "Let's head to the beach, get Kim and Jase back, and worry about what to do next once they are safe. We won't let them get you either Lerigot." Tommy replies coming to his senses.

Back under the ocean…

"So, what now?" Kim asks, leaning against the cold metal wall.

"I'm sure the guys know by now, and they will be on their way." Jason says, "Don't worry about it Kim, we'll get out of here. We were rangers, and we know what we are doing."

Kimberly nods, "I guess your right… wait… do you hear that?"

"I hear the boat, or whatever the hell we are on."

"Come here." She says, looking around the trap door for the reason she is hearing noises, "Lift me up." She replies, spying a grate. "Hurry, lift me up Jase!"

"Ok, ok." He says, taking her and sitting her up on his shoulder, "What do you hear?"

"Shhh." She says, listening to Divatox's plan. She quietly takes in all the words that the witch is saying, before, "Ok, down." She sighs, "I can't believe this. This is totally lame, you know, we come all the way out here to surprise everyone and help out the shelter, then we end up a snack for some monster with the munchies. This sucks…"

"We'll get out of this… we always do."

"We always had our powers." Kimberly mumbles. "What the hell do they want with us anyway? I mean, we haven't been Rangers for a while, PLUS, I haven't even talked to them in ages…"

"We were Rangers, and they can use that against the Rangers now. They don't want anything to happen to us, especially Tommy. Since he's the leader…"

"Yeah, I guess your right." She sighs.

"Until we figure a way to get out of here, we just need to wait."

Kimberly sighs, walking up next to Jason, "I hope they get here soon."

"Me too Kim." He says, hugging her.

On the beach, "Bring our friends in closer!" Tommy shouts.

"Send the Lerigot down first!"

"OUR FRIENDS FIRST!"

"Lerigot! He's gone!" Tanya says, noticing that he was missing from her side.

"Lerigot! NO!" Katherine shouts, as she sees the little creature making his way to the ocean.

Once he was captured, "You have what you came for! Let my friends go!" Tommy shouts. He only briefly hears the metal creatures say something before they pushed the two bodies into the water. Tommy and Adam immediately jump down off the cliff, followed by Tanya and Katherine. Rocky was back at the Center during this little escapade. He decided that it was better for him to relax this time incase something big happened, which it was sure to do so.

Katherine and Tanya watched with wide eyes as Tommy and Adam swam to the figures.

"I've gotta get her! I've gotta get her!" He says, "I've gotta save them!"

"Tommy! Don't! It's too…" Katherine calls, being drown out by the ocean crashing against the rocks.

"TOMMY!" Adam says, as he swims after his friend, "TOMMY!"

"I gotta go after him! I've gotta go after him!"

"TOMMY!" Adam continues, trying to grab his frantic partner.

"No!" Tommy says, after grabbing the first body, "It's a fake!"

"Tommy! Come on man they tricked us!"

"I gotta check the other one! I gotta make sure." He says, pulling out of Adam's grip on his soaked clothing, "NO!"

"Come on Tommy, they tricked us man, let's go back."

"Damn it!" He says, fighting back his tears, letting his fury take over his emotions, "I've gotta go after him! I've gotta get them back."

"Come on Tommy." Adam says, grabbing his arm and using all his strength to pull him back to shore, "They tricked us, come on."

Adam drags both of them back to shore and they collapse on the sand as the waves crash into them.

"Tommy!" Tanya says, "Adam!"

"We're ok…" Adam says, breathing heavily, "They were fakes. They still have Jason and Kimberly."

"Oh my god." Katherine says, putting her hand on Tommy's shoulder.

"What do we do?" Tanya asks, squatting next to Adam.

"We get them back." Tommy says. Katherine looks into his eyes and sees the fury that was there.

"We are going to Tommy." Adam assures his leader.

"Let's go back to the Command Center, and figure out a plan." Katherine says, offering her hand to Tommy. He ignores the gesture and forces himself off the ground without her help. Tanya does the same for Adam, who accepts her help. He was still a bit winded as they teleported back.

Rocky who was sitting in a chair, forces himself to stand up as his four friends teleport back. He was disappointed when he didn't see two more friends with them, "Where are they?"

"It was a trick." Tommy says, rushing over to the console. He was always there for the team, especially Kimberly, and it was killing him that he didn't get her back by now, "What do we do?" He asks Zordon, and listens to his words.

"New Powers? What's wrong with our old ones?" Rocky asks.

"They won't help you defeat Divatox or get Kimberly and Jason back. You need stronger powers. Turbo Power."

"Turbo Power?" Tanya asks. Zordon talks the group through programming their new powers. "They are just regular cars." She continues as she sees their new zords.

"Not cars Tanya, Turbo powered cars." Zordon replies. "Gather around the console and obtain your new powers. These powers will help you defeat the great evil that has come into your world."

Back on the ship…

"Kim… it says we are 400 feet below the surface, according to my dive meter." Jason says, after hearing Divatox say they were hitting the portal in less than five minutes.

"So?" She says.

"If we can get the ship to surface at 100 feet, we could swim for it. Instead of making weapons, I think we should look for something to pry the door with."

"Um, won't that like, let all the water in?" She looks at Jason, giving him a look like he's a complete idiot."

"Yeah, but it will make them surface, if they are thinking the ship is thinking. The bilge will fill up with water, and…"

"We swim up… in one breath?"

"It looks like our only hope."

Kimberly blows a wet strand of hair out of her face, "Ok." She says. She's always trusted Jason, and wasn't about to stop now. She dives under the water and grabs something that vaguely resembles a crow bar, "What about this?"

"That could work." He smiles, beginning to pry open the pressure lock door. As the water starts to pour in, Kimberly lets out a shocked squeak.

"JASON!"

"Help me hold this! We have to make it through the portal! If we don't… I don't know what will happen."

"Ok!" She says, holding the pressure lock door in place. Five minutes seemed like an eternity for the small former pink ranger as her best friend pried the rest of the bolts away.

"I don't know how much longer I can hold on!" Jason says, feeling his grip slide.

"Ok Jason! Any time!"

"I'm Trying!"

"Ok… this water is getting way too high for me." She says, as the water rapidly was reaching her head. "Whoa!" She says, feeling different… "What's going on."

"I think it's the portal!" Jason replies, throwing his body against the door, "Just hold on a bit longer Kim."

She blows out water that was entering her mouth, "Ok." She says, having to stand on her tip toes to keep her head up.

"When we let this door go the room is going to fill up quickly with water. Swim to the top of the bilge, and I'll tell you what to do."

Kimberly heard him tell her to let go, which she happily did, and surfaces at the top, grasping the top grates, trying to catch her breath.

"I want you to take a deep breath and kick for the surface ok?"

"Ok."

"Let the air out slowly as you swim to the top, otherwise air bubbles will collect in your blood stream and that won't be good, do you got it?"

"Yeah." She says, as Jason takes a deep breath and dives under, "Here goes nothing." She tells herself, taking the biggest breath of her life. Following his hand signals she heads out first, only her shirt gets caught on a nail. "This is it." She thinks, panicking, " I can't get free!" She pulls with all her might, before Jason realizes what's going on and frees her. She pulls herself out of the boat, kicking with all her might to the surface. Her lungs were screaming for air as she slowly lets air out of her lungs, nearing the surface.

Finally, when she thought she couldn't go any more, her head breaks the surface, and she takes a deep breath of air, and begins the swim to shore. She flops down on the sandy beaches exhausted and turns to see where Jason is, "Jason! JASON!" She calls, looking frantically for him. "Ok Kimberly, relax. He's fine… you know he is. It's Jason. Uh ho. It looks like you are the one in trouble." She says, as she sees person like things coming to her, which she would soon learn are Malagore worshipers. "LET ME GO! GET OFF OF ME YOU CREEPS! GET OFF!" She says, trying to fight them, but her muscles wouldn't cooperate. She couldn't free herself and realized she was being carried away. "God, someone help!" She thinks, "Tommy, please."

Back with the Rangers, Rocky finds Tommy sitting up on the dock of their boat alone.

"Hey man, its' getting cold out here, why don't you come down with all of us?"

"Nah." He says, looking over the railing, "I'm alright."

"You never have been a good liar." Rocky smiles, sitting down, wincing as he does so, "What's up?"

"I'm worried about them Rocky. What if it's too late? I've let her down."

"Her?"

"Them… I meant them."

"Tommy, they will be fine…" He says, before adding on, "Kimberly will be fine."

"And Jason…" Tommy says, sighing, "At least she's with him."

Rocky sighs, "I know it hurts. You haven't seen Kim or talked to her in what, almost nine months? Yet, now that she's back, she's in trouble, and you can't do a damn thing about it right now."

"I just don't know why it had to be her. Why did Divatox have to capture her, and why the hell was she back in Angle Grove anyway!"

Rocky shrugs his shoulders, "I don't know the answer to that, but she was with Jason. Maybe he told her about the shelter and maybe she wanted to help."

"She should be practicing and with her guy down in Florida. She wouldn't be in trouble if she was down there!" He says angrily.

"Dude, who are you angry at?"

"Divatox!"

"And?"

"Why did she have to come back…" He says, his eyes clouding over, "Why couldn't she have left the note and not come back. I was doing great without her, with Kat."

"Who are you kidding?" Rocky says, trying to stop himself from shouting at him, "You aren't kidding me that's for sure. She broke up with you and it nearly killed ya. I know, but you aren't as happy as you were with her."

"Jee thanks." Tommy says, sarcastically.

"What? It's true. Are you over her?"

"I thought I was. I don't know now. It's just, I have always protected her, and now I can't." He sighs, looking out over the ocean again, "She's god only knows where, and I'm not sure how she is."

"She's fine. She's tough." Rocky sighs.

Kat comes up from below and stands next to Tommy, "It's cold out here guys, why don't you come down?"

Tommy sighs, and looks at his girlfriend, "Just give me a minute."

"They will be alright Tommy. Jason and Kimberly are tough. They will be fine." She tells him, hugging him.

He hugs her back as Rocky says, "I'm heading down. I'll see you two in a bit."

"You got it." Kat smiles. "Tommy…"

"Kat, I don't want to talk about her right now…"

"Alright." She says, "I understand, but, please, come downstairs."

"Alright." He agrees as she takes his hand and they head down to the lower deck with the others. In a matter of minutes they will enter the new dimension and hopefully find their friends in one piece.

Kimberly keeps fighting against the worshipers, even as she is tied to a board. "Relax Kimberly." She tells herself, "You need to stay relaxed and calm." She hears movement to the right of her and quickly turns her head. She lets out a sigh of relief as she sees Jason. She smiles to him as he smiles back under a cloak of black.

"You ok?" Jason asks his little sister, who nods, "Good."

"You?"

"Yeah."

"Good." She says as they untie her, and push the two together in the cave.

"What's gonna happen to us?" Kimberly asks as she and Jason await the witch.

"I guess we get sacrificed." He says trying to lighten up the mood.

"Very comforting Jason." She replies, giving him a look only Kimberly could give, "I guess you're right though, but I'm not going without a fight."

"You got that right…" He sighs.

"Do you think they will come?"

"Yeah. Tommy won't let anything happen to us, nor will the others.'

"I guess you're right." She sighs.

"You'll see." He sighs, pulling her into a hug.

They hear a noise behind them and the next thing they know, they are being strung up and hoisted above the hot volcano, Kim looks down and calls over her shoulder to Jason, "SO much for fighting back."

Jason smiles at her sarcasm as they both look around for a way out. They fight and kick, trying to free themselves, but realize that even if they are freed it will be no use, they would still plummet into the fiery hole.

"Did we miss the party!" Tommy calls.

Kimberly and Jason's eyes shoot over to the five rangers in completely different colors than they were use to, "Red!" Kimberly asks Jason when she realizes the white color wasn't around. Jason was a bit confused on the color change, but went with it. She smiles, "Rangers, this is Divatox, Divatox, this is your worst nightmare."

"Watch me shiver." Divatox says, "Lower them into the flames!" She screams at her henchmen.

Feeling the jolt, Kim and Jason begin to panic. "YOU GUYS!" Kimberly shouts. "HELP!"

"KIMBERLY!" Tommy screams, "Hang on Kim!"

"We can't get to them! There are too many of these… Things!" Kat says, doing her best to fight off the monsters.

"KIM! JASON! HOLD ON!" Rocky says, paying special attention to see his back does not take the full brunt of his attacks.

"Take it easy Rocko!" Adam calls to his best friend as he watches him try and stop the wheel himself, "Don't hurt yourself!"

"Anymore than I already am?" He says, sarcastically to himself.

"GET OFF ME!" Tanya screams trying to get to the rangers before hey go over the edge.

"Shit Jason…" Kimberly says, feeling the affects of the evil taking over her body, "Jason!"

"Stay strong Kim… Fight it." He says, as they're pulled deeper into the volcano.

"KIMBERLY! NO!" Tommy calls, fighting to get to his ex-girlfriend.

"You're too late rangers. The transformation has already began." Divatox squeals.

"NO!" Kat says.

Suddenly the volcano erupts a loud sound, and the former pink and red rangers are standing on the edge of the volcano. Tommy walks closer as time seemed to stand still, "Kimberly, Jason." He says.

"Whoa!" The rangers call as their two friends emit a growl and break through the chains holding their wrists together.

"Is it strange that I find Kimberly hotter than usual?" Rocky says, getting slapped by Tanya, and caught his leader's attention, "I'm kidding." He tells him, putting his hands up in a truce. He knows what look he was getting from Tommy under the mask and wants to redeem himself.

Kim and Jason head towards the rangers, both with a look of pure hate. Adam jumps in front of her, and grabs her shoulders, "Kim! Snap out of it!" He says, getting thrown aside. She was heading for Kat.

"Kimberly! Kim, listen to me! We're your friends." Kat pleads with the pink ranger.

"Friends?" She says, with a spiteful laugh, "I don't have any friends." She grabs her throat and laughs as the newest pink ranger squirms.

"Kim! No! Let her go! Kimberly NO!" Tommy says, as she throws the pink Ranger aside. He unhooks his helmet, ignoring Katherine's cries for him not to do it, "Look at me Kim! Look at me." He says, pleading with her, "It's me, it's Tommy." All he sees were dark eyes staring back at him. This wasn't the one he loved for so long. "Please Kim, snap out of it. Please Kimberly, look at me… " He continues to say, before getting pulled away by Jason. Kimberly smiles as Jason drags him to the fire.

"Kimberly! STOP!" Kat says again, grabbing her shoulders, "I don't want to hurt you!"

"You don't even know do you?" She growls. Hate and anger forced to her pink replacement.

"Know what!" Katherine says, hoping to reason with Kimberly. "Help me understand!"

"You can never understand. Oh and sweetie?" Kimberly says, looking into her opponents eyes, "Pink is out!" delivering a strong kick to her stomach. She smiles, brushes her hands off and smiles as she watches Jason try and throw Tommy into the fire, "Into the fire." She grins, "Into the fire. Yes, throw him into the fire." She giggles with pleasure as she watches Jason inch Tommy over a bit further. Suddenly she feels a strange force pulling her back. She feels strange before she regains her own willpower. "What… how did I get out of…" She looks around and sees the two little balls of fur smiling up at her, "What? Who?" She starts before they point towards the volcano. She turns just in time to watch Tommy flip Jason off him and grasp his wrists, trying to hold on to him and keep him from falling into the fire, "TOMMY! HANG ON!" She yells. She runs towards him, dodging a few monsters to get there.

Tommy was yelling to Jason, "Stop fighting me Jason! You have to fight the evil, not me! Fight it Jase! Use your head! NO!" He screams, as Jason kicks to get away from him.

"Tommy!" Kim calls to him again, throwing herself down at the edge of the volcano, grabbing Jason's other arm.

"Are you ok Kim?" Tommy asks as he looks into his eyes.

She nods and says, "I'm with you." She meets his glance before quickly turns away. "Come on Jason! You've gotta help us, don't fight us."

Suddenly, the volcano explodes throwing Tommy, Kimberly and Jason backwards. Kim lets out a shocked squeal as she is thrown. Tommy gets up quickly from the ground and helps Kim up, then pushes her behind him, trying to protect her.

"I think you're gonna need this." Kat says, passing Tommy his helmet.

He glances at Kim who gives him a quick thumbs up, "Right. Back to Action."

"I'll get the Lerigot's!" Kim says, putting her hand on his shoulder.

"Be careful." He tells her. Even while they were battling the monsters, he keeps a close eye on his ex. She was handling herself quite nicely, remembering everything they had taught her over the past few years, but still he worries. He can't let anything happen to her.

"Ohh! Get off me you creep!" Kimberly says, punching a monster. She watches Jason who was quickly moving towards her, "Uhho!" She says, knowing that fighting Jason would not be a good idea at this time. She turns to run away from Jason and ends up smacking right into another monster who grabs her by the throat. "LET ME GO!" She gasps. She fights the evil creature with no avail. Next thing she heard was an, "Excuse me!" Jason tapped the monster on the shoulder, punching it in the face as it turns around. Immediately the creature drops Kimberly.

"Why thank you." She says smiling.

"Any time." He replies, grinning at her as she playfully slaps him in the chest, before running over to another group of monsters, "I am the crane…" He tells herself, 'We are one." Kim ends up back to back with the blue ranger.

"You alright Kimberly?"

"Rocky!"

"Yeah."

"Fine you?"

"Been better." He says, groaning as he gets kicked in the back, briefly collapsing from the pain.

"ROCKY!" She yells, getting Tommy's attention.

"Come on Rocky!" Tanya says as the two help him up, "Are you alright?"

"I guess…" Rocky grumbles.

"Guys! We need to get out of here!" Adam shouts, grabbing Rocky, helping him towards the exit, "It's gonna blow!" The volcano was bubbling and the monster was enormous. They needed to get outside in the open to call on the new turbo zords.

"Kimberly! Get out of here!" Tommy shouts.

"I've got her Tommy! Let's go Kimberly." Jason says.

"You don't have to tell me twice." She says, following Jason out of the volcano.

"Get down!" He shouts, throwing Kimberly down on the ground, shielding her from the explosions happening all around them. She groans as she it's the hard grassy floor. Together they watch their friends defeat Malagore. Kimberly and Jason stand up and smile at the Zord. "Jason?"

"Yeah?"

"I am NEVER going scuba diving with you again."

He laughs and hugs her tight, kissing her forehead, "You say that now."

"Are you guys ready? The voice from the Zord comes.

Jason and Kimberly smile and nod as the enormous hand comes down and they walk onto it. It closes around them protectively and they are teleported inside.

"What, you guys aren't cool enough for the dino zords anymore? You have to get cars!" Jason teases as they meet up in the park so they can walk to the youth center.

"Cars are so much cooler than that busted up zord you drove around in." Rocky laughs.

"Hey, the Red Dragon wasn't busted until I handed the powers to you." Jason says, hugging Rocky, "How ya been?"

"Shitty." Rocky says, wincing as Jason pulled on his back, "The tournament is in two days and I don't think I can do it.. I hurt too much."

"You can do it Jason." Kim smiles.

"What!" Jason says, turning to her.

"Could you?" Rocky asks, "Would you? I mean we need three people, not just Adam and Tommy."

"No problem." He smiles, walking over to Tommy, hugging him, "How's it going?"

"Good, now that we saved you." Tommy smiles, "Hey Kim."

"Hey Tommy." Kim says, trying to keep her voice steady. He walks over to her and hugs her quickly. "Hey Kat."

"Hey Kimberly." Kat smiles brightly, hugging her tightly, "How are you?"

"Good." She lies, putting on a fake smile.

"Gymnastics going well?"

"Great!" She smiles, "couldn't be better"

"Well that's great to hear." Adam says, smiling hugging his friend.

"I want in on this too." Rocky grins, hugging her, "I'd pick you up, but you'd probably hurt my back…. Not that you are heavy or anything but…"

"I get it Rocky." Kim laughs, "Don't hurt your head."

"It's nice to meet you Kim. Aisha has told me a lot about you, and the rest of these clowns."

"Nice to meet you too Tanya, and welcome to the team." Kim says.

"Thanks, it's nice to meet an original." She laughs… "Then again, I did meet Billy once, but still, ya know what I mean?"

"My god, I can totally see how you and Aisha are cousins." Kim smiles

"Yeah, it's scary." Rocky smiles. "Wait till you see the youth center, it's totally different."

"Can't wait to see it." Kim smiles.

Jason looks down at her and squeezes her hand really quick, she nods and smiles up at him.

While sitting at the table, she looks around at everyone and ends up deep in thought, "I leave, Kat comes in same color, Aisha leaves, Tanya comes in, same color which makes Billy leave. Tommy's now Red, Adam's now Green, and Rocky's now Blue. No more White, Black and Red. Ernie's gone, Aisha's gone, Trini's gone, Billy's gone, Zack's gone, and I still am sitting here, with the boy that I dumped for someone who only lasted six months. He looks happy though, I guess. I'm so jealous, but it was my choice, and I ended it before he could do it. Still, it rips my heart out. We haven't even said more than three sentences to each other. He just sits there, next to Kat…but maybe they aren't officially dating. Maybe I can at least get Tommy away so I can talk to him about the letter, not take him back, just get him to talk with me. I could never ask him to take me back."

"Kim! Kimberly!" She hears as she turns her head towards Rocky.

"Huh?"

"Welcome back to Earth Kim." Kat giggles.

"Sorry, what were you saying?" She says, ignoring Kat's comment.

"When are the games?"

"December." She says.

"You alright?" Jason asks.

"Yeah, I'm just tired. I think I'm gonna go back to the hotel." She says, "It's been a long few days."

"Do you want me to come back with you?" Jason asks.

"No, stay here."

"Alright, well take the car."

"How are you gonna get back?"

"We could all meet up for dinner." Jason says, shrugging, "Around seven?"

Kim sighs, looking at him, "Yeah. Sounds good. I just need to get some sleep."

"Do you want me to drive you?"

"Ya better, because if I'm not up, I wont do dinner tonight."

"Alright, let's jet. We'll be back." Jason says, "Well, I will."

"Alright. See you later on Kim."

"Yup, see ya in a while guys."

Jason and Kimberly leave when Kat looks at the group, "They make a cute couple."

Tommy thought his eyes were going to bug out of his head, "What!"

"They have to be dating… do you think he could be the guy in the letter?"

"I didn't think about it." Tommy says, feeling his blood boil. This was NOT how it was suppose to be. He was lied to, and he wanted Jason's blood. Kat was right, it was a very likely choice, Kimberly and Jason together. They have been friends for so long and she always did go to Jason when she was really upset about something.

Tanya looks at Kat and Tommy, "You don't know that for sure."

"It's kind of obvious."

Rocky and Adam look at each other, not knowing what to say about the situation that is unraveling in front of them. Tommy was pissed and the two could see that, but it could be the truth, Kimberly and Jason could be together, "I'm hungry, let's eat some lunch." Rocky says, "What do you guys want?"

"I'm not that hungry." Tommy says, standing up as he walks over to the weights and starts lifting. Adam and Rocky get up, order and walk over to him.

"Tommy."

"What do you say we go to the arena later and practice?" Adam suggests, cutting Rocky off, "I think Jason can use the practice."

"Yeah, sounds good." Tommy says, lifting the weights.

Jason returns in no time, and Tommy says, "Alright, he's back, let's go."

"Where are we going?" Katherine asks.

"The three of us are going to work out for our match. Do you want to come?" He asks her.

"No." Tanya says, "We're gonna go do something fun. We'll see you guys there later though ok?"

"Yeah sure." The guys say and they head out.

"Do you think Jason and Kim are dating?" Kat asks.

Tanya shrugs, "What does it matter if they are? I mean, you and Tommy are happy, and they are too, I guess. And if it isn't with him she's probably happy with someone else. One thing I do know, it has to be hard as hell for her to come back here. I replaced Aisha, Billy is no longer here, Tommy is not her boyfriend anymore…"

"I guess you are right…"

"Of course I am, now come on, let's go do something." Tanya smiles at her best friend.

"Alright."

"Alright, Jason, you and me first." Tommy says, as Rocky stands away from the ring. He doesn't want to get hurt again. That was the scariest thing he has ever been through. The thought of himself being paralyzed was too much to handle, and though he went into battle, he still worried that it would be his last time ever walking.

"You got it." Jason says, as they hop into the ring, Adam on the side. Tommy starts at Jason full force, "Whoa! Tommy! Chill out."

"Yeah." He says, "Ok." He says as his eyes squint shut. He gives Jason a run for his money. Every kick, punch, and block was fueled with his anger thinking his best friend was with his ex, and the reason she became his ex. Finally, he takes Jason down with a cheap shot, "What the hell was that!" Jason says, as the kick comes out from nowhere.

"What?"

"That move! We don't fight that way Tommy."

"What way?"

"Cheap."

"You mean dishonest?"

"Yes!" Jason says, as Tommy gets into his face a bit. Jason holds up his hands "What is going on with you bro!"

Tommy looks at his friend, and turns his back, walking out of the ring and heads towards the door. "TOMMY!" Rocky shouts to his friend in red, but he doesn't listen.

Jason looks at the two confused by the leaders actions and he runs after him, "Tommy! Hold up!"

"Get away from me Jason…"

"What the hell did I do to you?"

Tommy stops, and turns around towards him, "I need you to answer me one thing."

"What?"

"It's about you and Kimberly."

"What is it?" Jason says, walking towards him.

"Are you the reason she dumped me. Are you the guy in the letter?"

Jason was taken back a bit, "Wh…WHAT?"

"Are you the guy she broke up with me for."

"Tommy…"

"ARE YOU!" He shouts, "You better tell me the truth Jason, or I swear."

"No. Tommy, no. Kimberly and I have never been anything more than friends. She's my best friend, as are you. Don't you think I would have talked to you and told you if I was dating her! Where the hell did you get that idea!"

"You are here with her, you have hugged her, kissed her, are staying in the same hotel together, for the same amount of time…. I don't know, you pick."

"I am treating her like I always have treated her, and what the hell does it matter if I am with her or not! You have KAT now." He says getting annoyed with this accusation he was given.

"It's the code bro. You don't become the reason your best friend gets dumped…"

"Tommy, I swear, I am not dating Kim."

"I don't believe you."

Jason sighs, looking at him. Kimberly was gonna kill him for telling him this, but he had no other choice. Tommy had given him no other choice. "His name was Matt. He was a gymnast down in Florida."

"Who?"

"Kim's boyfriend."

"Why didn't I hear about him before, in any of the letters?"

"I don't know."

"Why didn't she tell me about him!"

"I don't know."

"Were they together before I was dumped?"

"I don't know!" Jason says, getting irritated, "That's all I know. I met him once, he reminds me of you. That's all I'm saying. If you want to find out more, you should talk to her."

"She won't give me the time of day."

"She might." Jason says, looking at his best friend.

"I just want to know what happened to us."

"I wish I could give you more information than that, but understand I can't. Kimberly has confided in me some things, but I can't tell you without her ok. Tommy, we aren't dating. Kimberly and I never have, and we never will. We are too good of friends to date each other, and you know this. You also know that I would NEVER go behind your back and do something as low as being the reason Kimberly dumped you. I would have told you."

Tommy sighs, running a hand through his hair, "Yeah, I know. I'm sorry."

"Me too. I understand, believe me I do."

"I love her so much, and I hate her for breaking up with me… god, it sounds so weird."

"Nah, it's not weird, but you have Kat now… focus on that… or talk to Kim."

"I think I will…" Tommy sighs.

"You will to which one?"

"Exactly." He shrugs, not knowing what he was going to do. He liked Kat, and Kim wouldn't be here for long. But what ever it was, he would have to do it soon, because Kim wouldn't be here long. "She didn't even remember me.

"When?"

"In the volcano. She didn't even recognize me. She didn't remember me."

"Bro, none of us did."

"Yeah, but I took off my helmet and talked to her, but nothing happened."

"That's not either of your fault. She would have known you. She knew you before…"

"That's not the point. The point is, I couldn't get her back. I couldn't talk to her and get her back. I use to be able to, but I couldn't this time."

"Bro, it will be ok. It's not your fault, but you do have to talk to her. Don't kick yourself for her not recognizing you. I know it hurts, but she wasn't herself. Neither one of us were."

He nods, and they head back inside the arena.

The next day was the competition. Kimberly sat in-between Rocky and Ernie, watching the three win the competition. Kim was THRILLED when Tommy held up the check for the orphanage fund. She jumps up and cheer's the loudest. It was always great to have her in the stands with a big match.

She smiles at Rocky and runs towards the front to congratulate the guys. Katherine runs up to Tommy who bends down and hugs her tightly, smiling at their victory. Kimberly was able to compose herself enough to get through the hug, then when he kissed her, she turned away. She never even congratulated Tommy, "Good work guys." She smiles, turning to leave. No one seemed to notice her leaving except for the newest member of the team. Tanya turns to see Kimberly quickly making her way out of the arena. She and Aisha had talked about Kimberly a lot, and Tanya seemed to have a good handle on why she broke it off with Tommy. She turned to Rocky and says, "Hey, I'm gonna go see what's going on with Kim."

"Huh?"

"Kimberly. She left."

"When?"

"Just now… I'll be back ok?"

"Do you want me to come with you?"

"No, it's fine." Tanya says, "I need to get to know her better anyway. Any clue where she'd be?"

Tommy hears Tanya talking about Kimberly and says, "If she's not outside try the lake."

"What part of the lake?"

Jason looks at Tommy, who wasn't about to move from Katherine. He assumed he had made a decision not to talk to her, "By the rocks."

"Ok, thanks." Tanya says, running out of the arena. Kimberly was walking towards the park slowly, not trying to be recognized, so Tanya easily caught up to her, "Kimberly!"

"Shit." Kim thought, turning around, "Oh, Tanya… I didn't think it was you."

"Hey, you left pretty quick, I wanted to see what's up."

Kim smiles, "I'm just tired."

"You were tired yesterday…"

"Can't I be tired twice in two days?"

"Yeah, but you are leaving tomorrow and I wanna get to know you a bit."

Kim sighs, "I kind of…"

"Aisha tells me not to bother you when you're annoyed or upset, but come on Kim. Lets talk."

"You're best friends with Kat, I can't."

"I'd like to be best friends with you." Tanya says, "Come on Kim. What's going on? Or do I have to call Aisha's ass and get her on the phone to talk to you."

Kim smiles, shrugging her shoulders, "What do you want to know?"

"Gymnast eh?"

"Yeah. Since I was six."

"How's that going?"

"Pretty well." Kim laughs, "How's the fighting going?"

"It's tough girl, but you know that. I feel like I am the weakest member of the group, but I'm learning. I have great teachers."

"They are the best." Kim agrees, "I learned a lot from Jason, and even more from Tommy." Her eyes cloud over with sadness briefly.

"So you have a new boyfriend?"

"Had." Kim says, smiling.

"What happened with that?"

"It just didn't work out, just like Tommy and I didn't."

"Why didn't you? Did you find him before?"

"I wasn't looking." Kim says, "It just sort of happened."

"Did you cheat?"

"NO!" Kimberly says, as Tanya strikes a nerve.

"Sorry. I didn't think you did, but…"

"Sorry." Kim says, blushing at her outburst, "I didn't cheat on him though. Matt and I started dating after the letter…"

"So, there was no guy?"

"No, but judging from your lack of surprise, I would think Aisha told you that." Kim smiles.

Tanya nods, "Yeah… so why?"

"Why what? Did I break up with him?"

"Yeah."

Kim sighs, "Fear."

"Of?" Tanya asks, sensing she was prying a bit too far, "If you don't wanna tell me then

I'll understand."

"No, it's fine. It's not like I'll get a chance to tell him, but you can't either. I wanted him to be happy and free. I met Kat, and I saw she was attracted to Tommy, but that wasn't her fault, and I don't blame Kat in any way. We stopped talking, Tommy and I. I barely heard from him, in fact I talked to his parents more that I did to him. They told me he was almost always out with Kat, so I let him go."

Tanya sighs, "That's tough…"

"You have no idea." Kim sighs, "Giving up someone up that you love so much for their happiness makes you completely miserable, but then I found Matt and we started dating. I did think about calling Tommy after the letter, but I couldn't get a hold of him, which is the main reason the letter was sent. It hurts, but it was over, and then after a few months Matt and I are over as well."

"I can't tell you that Kat and Tommy weren't spending more time together than usual, because when I met them they were always together, but I don't think they were dating until after the letter."

"Good, then we were both faithful, and now he can date who ever he wants. I hope they are happy, are they happy?"

"They seem pretty happy together, but who knows. Adam and Rocky say it's different than it was with you. I don't know how, because I never saw you two together. I am sorry it happened though Kim."

"So am I Tanya, but you know, you can't go back. I know that he's over it, and with Katherine. I'm happy about that, I really am, but it hurts."

"I know." Tanya says, "I had the same thing happen to me in Africa. My best friend stole away my boyfriend, and while I am happy for them, it still bothers me."

"Looks like we have more in common than I thought." Kim smiles.

"I guess so." Tanya laughs, "Now, will you come back to the arena with me?"

Kim shakes her head no, "But I will come to dinner later."

"I guess that's a start."

"Then tomorrow, I'm going home. I have a ton of school work to do as well as practicing for the games."

"We'll be watching you." Tanya smiles, "See ya later Kimberly."

"Bye Tanya." She says, as she jumps into the rent-a-car and drives back to the hotel. Tears pour over her cheeks as today confirmed that Tommy and Kat were actually dating. They were happy, and she needed to be happy for them. She ended up going to dinner, and thankfully Tommy and Kat weren't there. They went to the shelter to help, so Kim ate, enjoyed herself and about fifteen minutes before they came back she left. The next day, she was on the 7:00 flight out of Angel Grove Airport, and after almost a week, she only said maybe ten sentences to her ex and as she flew home on the plane she realized just how much it hurt her. Tears constantly came to her eyes as she flew the six hours home.

When she came off the plane, Cooper was waiting for her. She looks absolutely exhausted and he can tell, "How was home Squirt?"

Kim looks at him as he hugs her, "Fine. How was your break?"

"Fine." HE smiles, "Did you see him?"

"Yes."

"And?"

"And what? He's with Kat, and we didn't talk more than 10 sentences to each other during my week with them. I don't blame him, I wouldn't talk to me either." She says, still hugging him, "I just want to go back to the apartment."

"Well then, let's go." Was his reply as they walk to baggage claim and pick up her bags.

Renee was thrilled to see Kim, and vice versa. She smiles and asks her, "Did anything INTERESTING happen?"

"Like what?"

"The Power Rangers…"

"No." Kim says smiling. Just because she told the two that she was one of them didn't make her have to tell them about the week's events.

"Damn, what about with Tommy." She says.

"I thought I was over him Renee, and I'm not. I am so not. He kissed Kat and I ran out. Tanya talked to me, you know the new girl, my best friend Aisha's cousin. I don't even know her and she knew more about me then anyone of my friends there, because of Aisha."

Renee sighs, but listens to Kimberly rant about her old boyfriend who she broke up with. She knew that Kimberly needed to get this out of her system and that was just what was happening. After Kim was finished she goes into her room, locks her door and grabs her diary…

September 13, 1995

Dear Diary,

This weekend was a total flop. First, we get kidnapped by some witch named Divatox, then I found out that Tommy and Katherine ARE dating, which I should have prepared myself for, but I couldn't. I didn't think I would be so upset knowing they are dating, but I was… I am. IT makes it final. Now, they are happy and together and he didn't even say a thing to me. Ten sentences each, if that. I wanted to talk to him but I just couldn't get the nerve up for it. I just have to get over it. That is my next step. Getting over him. They say you'll never forget your first love, well I plan on it, and doing it double time. It's the new Kimberly down here. No more wimp, no more crybaby, just me. I am strong, and I can get over him. It was MY choice. That's it.

Love,


Kimberly

December 11, 1995

Well, Pan Globals are over for the next two years. I won the gold, which I am thrilled about. Renee got Silver, and USA took the all around. Ya know, I looked up in the stands and didn't see my friends, it kind of hurt. I know they are all busy with their lives, and it's a bit far for them to fly, but it bothered me, especially Tommy. He did promise me that he would be here. I was doing so well, not thinking about him, but maybe you never do forget your first love. I'm dating a new guy, his name is Tyler, but he is nothing compared to Tommy. I hate myself for comparing all my boyfriends to Tommy, but I can't help it.

I just can't wait till college next year. I can forget about almost everything.

This summer I am going to spend it in Africa with Aisha, for two weeks, and then Paris the rest. I am definitely looking forward to it.

So, a gold medal. Wow. Never thought I'd have one of them, but I am happy. I heard from all them, even Tommy sent me an e-mail about winning. It stings just like the letter.

I'm rambling… I gotta go. Tyler's coming over. OH! He's 5'9, blonde hair and deep blue eyes. He is absolutely gorgeous and is a baseball player at my high school. He's really a great guy, and I hope it stays that way. I just need to stop comparing him to Tommy. That can only bring me trouble…..

Ok I'm off for good now.

Love,

Kim

TBC…

A/N: I always despised Justin so he isn't in the story. I make Rocky's back not as hurt as he was to keep him in the story. So, I hope you liked this chapter!

Forgive the small mistakes or if it sucks, I just started a new teaching job, so that has been my main priority. 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!
