The following day was filled with hugs, kisses, and many goodbyes. Kim and Skull were heading back to Florida on a happy, but sad note. They brought with them many surprises, as well as unexpected revelations. In the end, many to say the least would think their journey ended at the airport. However, that wasn't so. Everyone, including Tommy and his friends were there to witness the two leave.

Kim was placing her bags onto the conveyor belt as Skull was shaking hands or hugging their friends. Tommy walked up to her as she gave him a smile. The two stood by the conveyor as they talked.

"Don't go," he pouted innocently, "it'll be weird without someone to throw a rock to when we're skipping stones by the lake." Kim giggled as she looked at her red clad friend.

"Don't worry Tommy, I promise to write you everyday or in fact, email," the former pink ranger said with a giggle. Tommy nodded with a smile as they hugged. Skull watched his two friends as he looked on. He and Bulk gave each other a firm handshake, but as a result, Bulk picked him up off the ground.

"Tommy, before I go, I forgot to tell you this at the lake."

Tommy raised his brow, but he wasn't sure on what she was going to tell him. As he listened, she reasoned with him that there are many things she still had to explain to him, but one day she would. In agreement, Tommy hugged her again.

"Bulky," the young tall man said as he embraced his friend, "I'm so going to miss you." The comedic two-some laughed once more as jokes were being played and laughs began to rise.

The hours went by as everyone waited for Kim and Skull's flight to depart from Angel Grove. Pictures were being snapped and many memories were starting to build. Kat stood in the picture with her friend as well as successor. Smiles drew cross her face and Kim's as the two laughed to their hearts content on the ranger boys.

Within a few more hours, the plane would be arriving to take the two back to Florida.

11:15 A.M.

Angel Grove International Airport

Flight 2433 is now boarding to Orlando, Florida. Flight2433 is now boarding.

"This it," the petite gymnast said as she jumped up and down. "I'm going to miss you all." Kim sniffled as her friends formed a group hug. Tears trickled down her face as she looked at all of them.

"Come back soon Kimmie," Rocky said as he embraced his friend. "Don't forget your always apart of us." He hugged her again before drying his own eyes.

"My home's always welcome to you sis," Jason said as he embraced his best friend, "Emily couldn't be here, but she said don't forget to write her." Kim nodded as she hugged him.

"Skull, or should I say Eugene," Tommy said as he shook the young man's hand. "It's been quite an interesting meet to see you. When you become famous, don't forget about us." The two men laughed as handshakes were exchanged.

"Kim," Kat said as she turned to her friend, "make us proud." She gave her friend a tight embrace as she handed her a letter. Kim shook her head, but hugged her friend again.

After several hugs and handshakes later, Skull and Kim were heading into the airport terminal to their plane. The hot sun of Angel Grove started to glare into their eyes as they placed their sunglasses over their eyes. As the plane began to take off, the vision of Angel Grove was almost a memory.

The gang began to wave as they saw the plane depart. Tommy stood by the window as he watched the woman that he loved so much leave his life again.

A few days later

"Mail call!" one of the gymnasts said as she skipped through the gym holding up several pieces of mail, "Hart, come get your mail!" The petite brunette raced over as she was handed an envelope.

Kimberly smiled as she thanked her friend. As she sat on the bleachers, she frantically opened the letter.

May 2, 1996

Kim,

There is a surprise for you outside the gym. Take a look.

Your buddy,

Skull

Kim raised her brow as she wondered what her friend meant. While walking outside, Skull was standing next to a rather large box. With his grim smile, she didn't know how to react to it.

"Kim, I know this is sudden, but there's something in this box that you might like more than I would," the young man said as he patted the box down. Kim laughed a little in wonderment. "Open it."

As she opened the box, she gasped to find something that truly made her smile. She gasped as someone hugged her as tightly as tears trickled down their faces.

Thank-you, she mouthed as she embraced the man that was apart of her life, but has now reentered it. The two looked at each other in awe as a smile crossed their faces.

"Sincerely yours," Tommy said with a smirk, "Tommy Oliver." He smiled as he hugged her.

"To Europe or bust," the young petite gymnast giggled still holding onto his embrace, "I'm just so glad you're here." The two shared a smile as they looked at Skull who gave them an approval with a thumb's up.
