SHOUT OUTS/ANSWERS

Jeremy Shane: Thanks, here's more.

Monkeerangerfan: Hey, long time, no see. Thanks. Here's more.

DISCLAIMER

Power Rangers belongs to Haim Saban and Nickelodeon. Flashpoint belongs to CBS and whoever else is affiliated with them. I only own the plot. Reference to "Welcome To Venus Island" and "Turbo: A Power Rangers Movie". "Jules'" family background is obviously different than anything they might've mentioned on the show-I honestly can't remember if they mentioned her family or not.

"Kim…what happened?" Jason finally asked. Kimberly pulled away, and wiped her eyes.

"It was after the first few months, while I was training for the Pan Globals. I started getting these flowers and notes from a fan. At first, I was flattered, you know?" Kimberly queried.

"Yeah, I can imagine. I mean, you're just starting out and getting all of this attention from a single person," Katherine replied.

"Exactly," Kimberly nodded.

"So what happened? I mean, what changed?" Tommy wondered.

"The flowers and notes came on a more regular basis, and the things he'd tell me about-they were private things-things that no one else knew. He was discovering things about my life that I hadn't told anyone," Kimberly answered.

"What?" the others queried.

"Yeah, but Coach Schmidt was really great. He called the police when I showed him all the letters and notes that I had kept, which the police used to find out who it was, but even with his identity, they couldn't catch him," Kimberly told them.

"Oh, Sis," Katherine murmured, placing a hand on the woman's wrist. I can't believe this. My sister's stalked and made to give up her dream? she wondered angrily. Feeling the emotion, Kimberly smiled and squeezed her hand.

"I felt the same way," she admitted.

"You said that this guy was finding out personal things about you. Could it have been magic? You know, like one of Rita or Zedd's goons in disguise?" Jason asked softly. Kimberly shook her head.

"That was the first thing that crossed my mind, so I put everything under the tests that Zordon showed us after the incident with Hallie," she answered. "I even double-checked them with Zordon. The tests were negative," she continued.

"Wait. Zordon knew about this?" Tommy asked, barely remembering to keep his voice down. He knew she was in trouble and he didn't tell me? he seethed.

"No, Tommy. He only knew that I was getting strange letters. After finding out that they weren't magic based, I asked him not to say anything to you guys because it wasn't relevant to your duties," she corrected. She bit her lip as the memory came back.

"So I was right? The tests came back negative?" Kimberly asked over communicator.

"That's an affirmative, Kimberly. There is no trace of magic on the letters," Alpha answered.

"Okay, thanks anyway," Kimberly stated.

"Kimberly, would you like us to inform the other Rangers?" Zordon queried.

"Zordon, don't do that. This isn't Ranger related, and they need to keep their heads in the game," Kimberly answered. "Besides, I'm sure it's nothing. Kimberly out." She quickly signed off of the communicator.

"I wish you had let him tell us. We would've helped," Tommy stated.

"Yeah, I know," Kimberly nodded.

"I hate to ask-but, the "Dear John" letter?" Katherine wondered.

"This guy had somehow found out about Tommy, not that I was keeping him a secret, but-" Kimberly replied.

"We understand. He was a part of your personal life," Jason said.

"Exactly. Well, after he found out, he sent me a couple of photos of us-how he got them, I have no clue, and Tommy's picture was destroyed like a dagger had been taken to it," Kimberly answered.

"Is that what the police determined?" Katherine queried.

"No, I did. I had seen Tommy shred things with his Dragon Dagger. I remembered what the slashes looked like," Kimberly answered. "So, you know, the police were doing everything in their power to find out who this guy was, and then Jason told me that you guys needed help with the shelter, so I came back with him," she continued. Tommy and Katherine looked at each other guiltily. They had been going out at the time, and it must've killed Kimberly to see them together. Kimberly shook her head.

"It's okay. You guys did nothing wrong," she assured.

"Okay, can we back up a sec?" Jason requested. "I believe that you wrote the "Dear John" letter to protect him. I've known you for a long time, and I've seen you pull some crazy stunts," he began. Then, he turned to Tommy. "But she was your girlfriend, Bro. How come you didn't at least call her to find out what was going on?" he wondered. I mean, really. He just accepted the breakup at face value? he asked himself.

"He did," Kimberly answered. "Phone and communicator, but I didn't answer," she continued.
"Oh," Jason said. Well, now I feel like an idiot, he thought to himself.

"Jase, come on. Like you said, she was my girlfriend. Of course I'm going to try to find out what's going on," Tommy stated with a laugh.

"Anyways, after that, I came back and-" Kimberly continued as her mind flashed back. Kimberly started to put her key in the door, and it swung open. With a gasp, she hurried to one of the other girls' dorms. The girl opened the door, and after learning what had happened, they called the police and waited.

"What'd they find?" Jason wondered.

"My room was a complete wreck. Things that had meant a lot to me had been destroyed, ripped, or shredded," Kimberly answered. "I lost one of Tommy's favorite shirts," she moped.

"My green-checkered one?" he asked. She nodded.

"I'm just glad it wasn't you," he said.

"Anyways, it was after that I decided to just disappear. Coach Schmidt helped me, though he kept apologizing for not protecting me better," she continued.

"And you put your shields up and we could no longer feel you," Jason finished. Kimberly nodded.

"Did they ever catch him?" Katherine asked.

"Yeah. He tried the same stuff with another girl a couple of years later, and when they found him, he was completely off his rocker," Kimberly replied. "Apparently, he was like Billy smart, which is how he found out a lot of the stuff that he did," she continued. Out in the waiting room, Sam paced around nervously.

"Take it easy, kid," Spike said.

"I can't! You weren't in that room! You were in the truck!" Sam snapped.

"Okay, I know you're hurting and you're worried about Jules, so I'm gonna ignore the attitude," Spike stated. Sam had the grace to look embarrassed.

"Sorry, man. Didn't mean to take it out on you," he apologized. Then, "I've got to see her. I don't care what it takes."

"Sam." Sam ignored Ed's warning tone and strode towards the recovery room, Ed and Greg at his heels.

"Sir! Sir, you can't go in there!" a nurse told him.

"We've got him, we've got him," Greg assured.

"Sam, Sam, think. She just got out of surgery, and she's spending time with family," Ed cautioned.

"No, man. You think! In all the time you've known her, has she ever mentioned a sister before?" Sam retorted.

"Fair enough," Greg allowed. "But she obviously knows them and is okay with them," he continued.

"Yeah, but why? I mean, she can cast me-us-aside but welcome these three with open arms?" the younger sniper asked. Greg and Ed shared a look. Obviously, he wasn't over the woman. They reached room and Sam grabbed the door.

"So, Ptera, how did you end up in here anyways?" they heard one of the men ask as Sam opened the door.

"Her name's not Tara," Sam whispered. Jules sighed.

"Not the right back up, Rexy," she answered. "I mean, don't get me wrong: Sam's a good cop and I trust him with my life, but…he didn't know what he was dealing with this time," she continued.

"What was going on?" the other boy asked.

"Our subject was seeing double, he had a headache, movement made him nauseous-" Jules began.

"A spell had just worn off," the second boy finished in realization.

"Yeah," Jules answered. Sam, Greg, and Ed shared looks of confusion. Spell? What were they talking about? Sure the subject hadn't been in his right mind, but it just meant that he had been even more volatile.

"Do you know who placed him under it?" the first boy questioned. Jules shook her head.

"No. He mentioned a hypnotist, but we haven't been able to confirm it," she answered. Ed cleared his throat and they all watched as the four immediately tensed and shared 'Oh, shoot' looks. It was obvious that none of them had realized that they were there.

"Hey, guys," Jules greeted softly.

AUTHOR'S NOTE

I had always thought that Zordon would let departing Rangers keep their communicators, so I incorporated it here. I mean, after all, at the end of "A Different Shade Of Pink Pt 3", it shows Kimberly giving Kat her coin, but not her communicator, and Jason, Zack, and Trini left so quickly, I don't see how they would've had time to give Rocky, Adam, and Aisha their communicators.
