October 17th, 1995

"What are you doing?" Andrew shouted as he slammed the phone down. "You were listening to my conversation?"

"No, I wasn't," Kimberly answered doubling her hands into fists to keep from trembling. "I was just coming to ask you if I change out of this purple outfit. I must wear it at school all day and on the day. When I got home after spending my first day in all day detention, you told me that I was going to stay in this outfit. You even make me sleep in only time I'm allowed to wear pink is if I'm going out with some friends or on date."

"You are lying," he screamed punching above the chest and tripping her. Before she could get up, he sat on her. He reached into his pocket and got out a pair of hand cuffs. Andrew pulled Kimberly's hands behind her back and put hand cuffs on her. "Tell me the truth! What were you really doing?"

"I was just wanting to know when I'll be allowed to wear my regular clothes at home," Kimberly pleaded a pair of tears ran down her cheeks when she felt Andrew punch her in the back. "That's all I wanted to know! Honestly!"

"I know you are lying," he hissed spitting in her face. "I know you are a power ranger. You are the pink ranger and Tommy is the white ranger."

"How do you know?!" Kimberly gasped. Her eyes widened with fear and her jaw dropped. "We had to promise not to reveal our identities. Not even to our parents. I want to know who told you."

"Is that any of your concern?" Andrew remarked pulling out a handkerchief out of his pocket. He laid it on the floor and opened a desk drawer and grabbed a roll of duct tape. "I hate that you are dating that Oliver boy. I may have a close friend of mine harm him-"

"-NO!" Kimberly screamed with tears running down her face. "I beg you! Please I love him! If you promise not to hurt him, I'll do whatever you want."

Andrew walked over to her and kneeled next to her. "You'll do anything?" he asked squeezing Kimberly's cheeks.

"Yes, anything, just name it."

He grabbed a rag with chloroform sitting on his dresser. He walked over to Kimberly and placed it over her nose and mouth.

Several hours Later

Kimberly woke up sitting in a chair in Andrew's closet. She could feel material was stuffed in her mouth. When she opened her mouth to try to spit it out, there was one problem. For some reason she couldn't move her jaw. The room was barely light up with a light bulb's that were dim. A mirror was sitting across from her and revealing to her that she had a two pieces of duct tape covering her mouth.

The door opened, and Andrew stepped in. "You are awake," he grinned looking at Kimberly sitting helplessly in the chair. "I was wondering when you'd wake up."

"Mmmmph?!" Kimberly questioned. Her voice was muffled by the stuffing that Andrew used to gag her with. "Mmmmph!"

"That's why I used Chloroform to knock you out and stuffed your mouth with a handkerchief. I couldn't take chances of you making noise when I had to act like no one here when some James Oliver came to investigate me." he answered watching Kimberly struggle to get on her feet. "I suspect his father is tracking me."

"Mmmmph?" Kimberly questioned.

"I passed the inspection and I am no longer being tracked. Just so you know, I've been tracking the Oliver family too," Andrew revealed watching Kimberly's eye brows raise. " I've gotten a hold of hospital records. Back three or four years ago, right before Tommy moved to Angel Grove, he had his appendix removed. In the file it was documented that they found blockage in one tube and he can't father a child. One of the people I work with has access to the hospital records."

"Mmmph! Hmmmmph! Mfpmffmmf!" Kimberly cried as Andrew began to pace around the room.

"Are you wondering where you are?" Andrew asked.

"Mmmmmph!" Kimberly replied. "Mpmffmmf, Hmmmmph, Mmmmmph!"

"You are in a secret room that I have where I hide things to protect myself," he explained smiling in satisfaction. "But, I can't tell you what part of the house you are in. I have many secret rooms."

"Mmmmph!" Kimberly gasped as her eyes widened with fear.

"I'll be back later to let you out," Andrew said as he walked out of the room and into a dark hall. "Even though I'm no longer being tracked, you are forbidden to tell Tommy. If you do, both of you will be locked away."

Kimberly jumped to her feet and started charging at the door. "MMMMMMMMPH!" Kimberly grunted as she charged into the door. "MMMMMMMMPH!"

"You make as much noise as you want," Andrew answered. "No one else knows you're in here."

I'm so sorry, Beautiful," Tommy comforted. He wrapped his arms around her shoulders and pulled her close, gently rubbing her arm. Everything that Andrew told you about me is true. And my father did go to your home to investigate him. I was just waiting for the right time to talk to you about it. I've waiting to talk to you about something else too."

"Is it about how you can't have children?"

"It is," Tommy sighed taking his hands in hers. "The reason it took me so long to tell you that I loved you was because I feared you wouldn't want me after you learned that I couldn't have children. Do you still want me?"

"Tommy, I still wanted you when I learn that about you," Kimberly promised wrapping her arms around him. "I wanted us to have children together. But, I wouldn't throw spending my life with my best friend away. I want you and only you.

"Do you actually mean it?" Tommy gasped as tears shimmered in his eyes.

She moved closer to him and grabbed his face. Kimberly started kissing Tommy and his world fell away. It was soft and slow, comforting in ways he could never find words to describe it. Each hand rested below each one of his ears, her thumbs caressing his cheeks as their breaths mingled. Tommy ran his fingers down her spine, pulling Kimberly closer to him until there was space between them and they could feel the beating of each other's hearts against their chest. Finally, they broke apart for air.

"I've been wanting to kiss you like that for a long time," he smiled gazing into her doe eyes. He ran his thumbs underneath eyes to wipe her tears away. "Ever since I found out about Andrew, I've been wanting us to be able to go home together every night."

"Tommy, we're both 18," Kimberly expressed while resting her head on his chest. "Andrew has already mentioned if he learns that we've became engaged, he'll lock me away and I'll never see you again. We can go to the court house and elope."

"It's prefect!" Tommy smiled as they got up from the bench and his eyes shifted to his watch." It's 6:30, We have time to go to the court house before it closes. Once he finds out, we'll already be married."

Every fall, Kimberly had the same thought. Pumpkins in the fields looked ridiculous. She never did like pumpkins too much because her parents always made her be a pumpkin every year at Halloween. She was in green tights, an orange turtleneck, orange gloves, green sparkly Mary jane shoes. Even when she was too old to trick or treat, her parents made her dress as pumpkin and help Andrew pass out candy to kids trick or treating at his place of business. "What are you thinking of?" Tommy asked as they walked out of the jewelry store. Once they were officially husband and wife, Tommy took her out to dinner before they went to buy their wedding rings and Kimberly's engagement ring.

"How I won't have to be a pumpkin this year," Kimberly admitted gazing into Tommy's eyes. Her eyes shifted to a gold wedding band and gold ring with pink and white stones on her finger. She thought those rings looked prefect on her finger. "This year I want to be a beautiful pink princess-"

"-that can be arranged," Tommy joked pulling her into a tight embrace. "I can't believe we're finally married. We finally get to go home together every day after school."

By the time they reached the Hart house, night had fallen and covered the city in a blanket of darkness. Kimberly scurried down the path to her house, her high heeled shoes slapping against the stone step that led to her front door. Fallen leaves were covered in the walkway, bathing it in red, orange, and gold, and they stepped on the with a satisfying crunch. The porch light was still on, and the yellow glow made the home eel warm and inviting. The metal doorknob was cool against her palm and she twisted it, entering the living room.

"Mom, we're back," Kimberly hollered walking through the house. It was full off boxes sitting along the walls. "Are you here? Tommy and I have some great news we want to share-"

"-what kind of news?" Andrew questioned walking into the room. He glanced down at the sparkly gem on Kimberly's ring. "Are you engaged?"

"Actually, we got married," Tommy corrected while he wrapped his arms around her. "We went to the court house and got married before we came home."

"I can't believe you went through with that!" Andrew shouted he knocked both down. "You told him, didn't you-"?

"-Andrew, she didn't tell me anything," Tommy defend when he sat up with Kimberly in his arms. "I already knew you were having trouble. I heard you and Caroline fighting one night when I was going to come talk to Kim after we got detention. But, I left because you two were fighting."

"Did she tell you that your father was tracking me?" Andrew screamed as he swung his fist towards Kimberly. But, Tommy moved back, and Andrew hit the wall, leaving a hole in the wall. "I want the truth!"

"She didn't tell me," Tommy lied tightening his grip around Kimberly when she started to shake. "I overheard my father talk to Lt. Stone on the phone saying he investigated you last year."

"Tommy, I think we had better go," Kimberly whispered.

"You aren't going anywhere!" Andrew corrected as he pulled out a sack. Reaching inside he grabbed a fist full of dust which petrified them as soon as it touches their bodies. "Now, I can take them to a secret room and reveal my secret."
