AN: Hi all. Thanks to those who have constantly reviewed this story. I know I said this before, but this story was written two years ago, with some things switched here and there. If I could find the original concept I had of this story, I'd use it, but my computer loves eating up things. –groans- Anyways, enjoy the story. ;-)

With that instant, Tommy took his communicator and teleported himself to the lake. The lake was an important landmark to him now since he was known for visiting it when his heart was broken. As he walked around the lake, he just thought about things. One of them was the reason why Kim came back. He took a deep breath and let it out again as he just watched the water glisten like diamonds.

Back in the Youth Center, Kim sighed as she shook her head. She knew that it was best to explain things to Tommy, including the letter. However, things didn't go so well after Skull gave his side of the story. The petite young woman looked over at her two friends as she attempted to talk to them.

"We did everything we could Kim," her friend said as he patted her shoulder, "I just hope everything will be alright," he assured her. Skull patted her shoulder again as he left to find Bulk to talk to after a while. Kat sat next to her as the two began to talk.

"I came back here to Angel Grove to resolve this and now this happens," the young woman sighed as she rested her chin on her hand. "Kat, has Tommy ever talked to you about me?" she asked.

Kat sat silent for a moment, but knew that Tommy still had feelings for Kim, but now it was all a mystery. "He did talk about you the first few hours after the letter was sent," she noted. As they continued to talk, the women laughed and talked about the crazy days when Kim was in Angel Grove and how things take its course.

The young ballerina removed her communicator. Kim raised her brow as she looked in wonderment at her as it was handed to her. She placed into her hand as she closed it.

"Maybe its wise that you two talk this out," she assured her friend. With a nod, Kim hugged her friend as she took the communicator. Kim left as she looked for a place to teleport to.

Kat sighed as she only hoped her two friends would work out what just occurred. Billy walked over from a long day at the Power Chamber. He sat next to her as they began to talk.

"Hey Kat," he said as he looked at his friend, "everything alright?" he questioned her. Kat looked at him as she shook her head lightly. In concern, Billy wondered where Kat's communicator went. She noted that she gave it to Kim to talk to Tommy. Interesting enough, the two just started talking about the letter and the email.

"Both Kim and Skull said that the letter was written by a teammate of Kim's," she said with a slight sigh, "It was some girl named Aileen or something like that. She manipulated Kim in front of her teammates and coach to believe she wasn't capable of handling a long distance relationship," she continued. Billy nodded along as he listened to the stories.

"Interesting," the grey clad young man said as he nodded in agreement, "so, the letter was written in manipulation, but what about the email that Tommy got?" he inquired.

Kimberly arrived at the lake as she saw Tommy pacing around and throwing rocks into it. She took a deep breath before walking over to him. Here goes nothing, she said to herself as she walked over, "Tommy, can we talk?" she asked him.

Startled, Tommy turned around as he looked at his ex-girlfriend. Kim walked over to him as a flashback escaped the two of them.

Sometime in 1994

"They said back at the gym I'd find you here," the young girl replied. The young Tommy Oliver jumped off the area he was practicing and greeted his young friend. He walked over to her as they began their conversation.

"Yeah, I like working out here sometimes and smell the fresh air," he stated as he blinked a few times with the sun's glare blazing into his eyes. As the two continued to talk, they reminisced about Tommy losing his green ranger powers.

"We miss you."

Tommy shook his head as he looked at his friend. The two looked at each other, and then Tommy connected with the words that a team before him was even started. However, Kim didn't think so.

"I miss you," she stated as she looked at him. Both in silence, Tommy took her hand as he pulled her into a kiss.

"Sure Kim, we can talk," the young red clad male said as he continued looking at the lake, "What brought you here?" he asked in awkwardness.

"A reason," she said in reply. "Tommy there's a reason why I came back to Angel Grove," she assured him.

"Well…"

"I came back to Angel Grove because I wanted to settle things. The letter that was sent to you was all a threat from Aileen. She used me so many times when she needed someone to cover for her in the gym." Tommy huffed under his breath as he shook his head to the reason that was told before. He still couldn't believe it, but he let her continue.

"Aileen used to be also a roommate of mine during the Pan Global trials. She was jealous and controlling. She didn't know when to quit with the pettiness. Then, one afternoon, I heard from a teammate she had a hold of my letter I was writing you and rewrote it, attempting to forge my writing and accusing me of many things to get kicked off the team."

Kim was right. Aileen was overly zealous and manipulative. She used many teammates, which also included Kim. Since Kim arrived, the young girl would become friends with the new people, and then the craziness started. She did everything to cause trouble. However, when Kim stepped out of their room they shared while she was in Florida, Aileen attempted her own way of handling the letter to Tommy.

According to some, the letter sat on Kim's desk as she was on the phone. In a grudge to the new teammate, Aileen took the handwritten letter and destroyed it before Kim returned. With that, she wrote a new one as she blamed Kim for stealing a few things from their room that belonged to her. Months had passed since then and Aileen was asked to leave training from the Pan Globals. Now, it was up to Kim to reason with her now ex.

"Aileen sounds like she could be a handful. Will she be at the Pan Globals?" Tommy asked as he fiddled with his sleeve of his shirt. Kim shook her head no, but walked closer up to Tommy's height level.

"She won't be there. I think she got banned from anything that's related to it," Kim replied as she looked at Tommy. "But, I do have to say the email explains that Skull and I are just friends. I mean we did date, but just as friends," she assured him.

Tommy gave a smug. He still couldn't believe his ex and his friend were dating, but it was only a friendship courtship they had together. As the sun began to set, Tommy looked at Kim.

"I guess now, this next question will be a piece of cake," she giggled. Tommy laughed a little as he looked at her. He lightly pulled her by the hand.

"I've heard that before," he smiled as he touched her hands. The two laughed a little as they watched the sun set.

"I've wanted to do that for a long time," the former young ranger said.

Kim laughed a little as she blushed. "Yeah me too."

"I guess now this is a piece of cake."

"What's that?"

"Kimberly, will you be my date to the dance?"

The sun began to set as the two shared a glance as they threw rocks into the lake.
