Andrew carried Kimberly into the basement while dragging Tommy down the stairs by his suit jacket. Tommy's feet were dragging against every step it took to get down to the ground floor. Smirking, Andrew pressed a switch and a door opened. He pitched Kimberly and Tommy into the room and picked up a staff. Pointing the staff at them, he muttered a spell and shredded their formal attire. Andrew stared at them for a moment and smiled. The dim light in the room made their skin sparkle and glow. He finally had them where he wanted them. He could even keep them for eternity if he wanted to.
This time he had two pair of hand cuffs and he could put them both on Kimberly and Tommy. He unlocked the first pair and grabbed Kimberly's hand and cuffed them behind her back. Then he went over to Tommy and put hand cuffs on him. Andrew stared at Tommy who was still frozen from the spell. He hated this boy even more. This boy married Kimberly and he planned to take her out of the house and she would be living in her prince charming's castle. True, Kimberly was already married to her prince charming. And it was true they were going to have a good marriage, but their lives wouldn't be like a fairy tale end once his plan came into effect. Kneeling, he ripped off the remains of Tommy's suit and just left him in his white boxers with pink hearts. Andrew even took time to remove Tommy's shoes and socks. Now he looked presentable to his pink princess like he did before.
Andrew sat Tommy on a crate in the left corner of the room and Kimberly in the right corner. He pulled a curtain until he got to the middle of the room. He placed a mirror in front of Tommy. Andrew turned to face hook and put the two key rings on it. Then he walked over to Tommy.
"How did I end up in my boxers!" Tommy cried staring at his shredded suit and tie. "Where am I? Kimberly, where are you?"
"I'm on the other side of the curtain! Kimberly answered. "We are in one of Andrew's secret rooms!"
"That is correct!" Andrew informed pulling the curtain back. He walked behind Tommy and turned the crate around for him to face Kimberly. Andrew walked over to Kimberly and sat her on her feet. "Go sit over by Tommy."
Tommy watched as Kimberly walked over to him. Her hair was falling out of the bun, part of her heart neckline was torn, and it was hanging down. Tommy could not help from staring her. She looked down at her gown noticing part of her dress was showing a little cleavage, then it was supposed to. Blushing, she continued to walk over to Tommy. Kimberly took a seat next to him.
Tommy doubled his hands into fists. If his hands weren't cuffed, he'd let Andrew " I demand you let us go!"
"Oh, Tommy," Andrew began walking behind Tommy and started to run his finger through Tommy's hair. "I can't let you out until..." he paused, realizing that he wasn't ready for Tommy to know he plans now.
"Until when?"
"Until I feel like it," Andrew answered in a cold voice. "I once told Kimberly when I had her locked in here before if she told you about what was going on, I'd lock you two away together. That was over a year ago. I couldn't take the chance of her screaming or trying to get out-"
"-you used this same method on her then!" Tommy interrupted through clenched teeth. "That's cruel of you!"
"She volunteered to be like this the first time, because I was wanting to hurt you," Andrew smirked squeezing Tommy's cheeks. "Kimberly loved you enough that she was willing to do whatever she had to protect you. She once told Goldar how she felt about you."
"How do you know?" Tommy screamed watching Kimberly kick of her heels.
Tommy's face turned red from embracement, when Kimberly saw him in boxers again. But, this time she couldn't help from noticing they had the pink mighty morphing and pink Zeo rangers printed on them. Not only did they have pink rangers, they had "I love the pink ranger." There was a loud pop, and both were sitting on the floor.
"This reminds me of the day of the ball game," Andrew smirked and his eyes flashed red.
August 10th, 1995
Zedd had been spying on them the whole time from his palace. "So, Kimberly seems to be afraid of relationships not working out," he smiled walking over to Rita. "We can take care of that."
"That's right, Zeddy," Rita answered when she stopped looking through her telescope. "I have just the thing right her. This is a special potion."
"Rita, you are a genius!" Zedd cried. Sparks shot up from his staff and behind his throne. "We'll crash Kimberly and Tommy's first game as cheerleaders."
"I can take care of that!" Goldar exclaimed walking into the room. "I capture them, and we can force Kimberly to drink the potion while she has to see Tommy falling into one of our traps."
"I heard Mr. Kaplan tell all of the cheerleaders if they did anything to make the team look bad or do something for five minutes of attention they will get punished at school!" Rita cried in excitement.
It was the first football game of the season. Tommy walked out the boys' locker room in his cheerleading uniform. A pair solid white tennis shoes, a of purple pants and purple short sleeve top with a V-neck. It had gold and white trimming on it. Angel Grove was printed across the front in gold letters. Kimberly was sitting on the bench waiting for him. She was in a solid white tennis shoes, a purple pleated skirt and shell vest with gold and white trimming. Like's Tommy's shirt, her vest had Angel Grove printed across the front in gold letters. "You look so, Beautiful," he complemented when she handed him a purple ribbon with gold trimming. Tommy pulled her hair back into a pony tail and tied the ribbon in a nice-looking bow to hold her bow in place. "Now you have the prefect look."
"Thanks," she blushed as she took his hand in hers. "I invited my parents, but I haven't seen them yet."
"Kim, you know that my dad isn't going make it because he's a detective," he said. "My mom had to do lab work and she said she'd try to make it."
The walked out on to the field before the whistle blew. On the home side there were specks of purple and gold. On the visitor side they could see specks a red and sliver. As soon as the game began Goldar and the tengas appeared in the football field. A lot of the tengas started chasing everyone around. Aisha and Billy went somewhere to morph without being seen. Adam and Rocky were teamed up together to take on a group of tengas. A cloud of black smoke filled the football field.
Kimberly was in the thickest cloud of the smoke. "KIMBERLY!" Before she could answer, Gold threw dust on Kimberly freezing her in a military posture. Her hands were at her side and her feet were together.
"Hello Pinky!" We're going camping," Goldar greeted as he threw Kimberly over his shoulder. "We'd love for you to come with us."
After several minutes, Tommy was able to make his way out of the cloud of smoke. "KIM!" Tommy shouted when he saw Goldar carrying her into the forest. Everyone in the stands were going to safety. He didn't have his morpher and neither did Kimberly. If he went back to get it, Goldar would get away. He only had one choice. To go after her without a morpher. Goldar broke off in a run when he saw Tommy charging towards him.
"Mr. Oliver! Get back here!" shouted Mr. Kaplan through a blow horn. "It's too dangerous! Let the power rangers deal with the gold monkey!"
Ignoring his principal, Tommy kept running after Goldar. Tommy could feel the darkness of the forest drawing closer as he slowly stepped through the thick woodland maze. Bare tree branches spiked into the sky. Now there wasn't signs of life to be around him. It was so dark, so he could barely see where he was going. The only light that Tommy had available to him was the slivery moonlight. He had no idea what laid at the end of the dark forest expect it wasn't going to be peaceful. An icy breeze continued to flow around him, and he was shivering.
Meanwhile, Goldar and the tengas reached the end of the forest. Tents were already sat up around the area and a camp fire was already burning. Goldar sat Kimberly on a tree stump, the tengas pulled her hands behind her back and tied them together. "You won't get away with this," Kimberly warned when the spell was beginning to wear off. She still couldn't move her arms and legs, but she could open her mouth to speak. "Tommy, will come for me."
"You'll soon be replaced," Goldar started as he threw some more dust on her to stun her from the shoulders down. "Your parents' are fighting and are wrapped up in their own personal lives. They will find someone new to love and forget you. Tommy will find a new girl."
In the meantime, Tommy finally reached the end of the forest where Kimberly was at. He hid behind a tree to avoid being seen. Now, he couldn't go and get her. There were too many tengas present. Plus, Goldar was there too. He tried to contact the other rangers, but he had no luck. His communicator was not working. Most likely because there was a barrier sat up to prevent him from contacting his friends. Peaking around the tree just a little bit, he saw Kimberly sitting on stump. Tommy quickly turned away when he Goldar starting to walk around the stump. He could afford to be seen because until the other rangers found him, he was the only person who had chance to free Kimberly.
"I don't think Tommy will come," remarked Goldar. "He would have come by now."
"He will come," she said confidently.
"How do you know he'll come?" taunted Goldar.
"He loves me."
"Pinky, has he ever told you that he loves you?"
"No, he hasn't. But, I am sure he loves me."
"Do you love him?"
"Yes, I love Tommy," she confessed. "More than anything else."
"Why haven't you told him?"
"I am afraid there is a chance that he doesn't feel the same way."
Tommy couldn't believe what he had just heard. He was afraid to tell her that he loved her because there had been too many girls in the past that he thought he loved. But, none of them loved him. Tommy couldn't help from smiling. The girl that he loved with, also loved him in return. As soon as he got her to safety, he was going to tell her that he overheard the conversation and he felt the same way about her. He looked around again to see if the coast was clear.
Goldar was standing in front of him with a smile on his face. "So, you came after all?" he asked as Tengas grabbed him from behind. "So, you must care about her."
"I do," Tommy addressed as Goldar took his sword and ran it along Tommy's cheerleading uniform. He felt his outfit fall off his body. It already had tears from where he snagged it on branches. He stood there in his white boxers with pink hearts and his cheerleading shoes. "What are you doing to me?"
"Getting ready for an event we want to invite you to," Goldar explained as he threw dust on his body stunning him from the shoulders down. "I think you look presentable to pink ranger."
They drug him out behind the bush and they sat him on the bench next to Kimberly. "Tommy, I knew you'd be here," she blushed when she saw him in his boxers. He still looked handsome, cute, and attractive. "I'm sorry you got captured because of me."
"Kim, it's not your fault," Tommy promised when the tengas pulled his white cheerleading shoes off. "I knew I'd be risking this when I came."
"Tommy, I love you," Kimberly bravely announced. "I know you the person I belong with."
"Beautiful, to be truthful I feel-"
"-something are better left unsaid," Goldar smirked as firmly placed his hand over Tommy's mouth. "I think it's time we get ready for the major camping event!"
Some of the tengas walked over to Kimberly and pulled her hands and behind her back and tied them together. They placed a pair of ear plugs in Kimberly's ears.
The tengas got out a long rope and walked over to Tommy. "You are helpless," Goldar reminded him as he watched Zedd appear in front of her. "She can't move, and neither can you. What do you have to say about that?"
He removed his hand from Tommy's mouth. "You won't get away with this Tommy warned as he watched Zedd appear in front of Kimberly. "Zedd had better not hurt her."
"He's not," Goldar remarked as the tengas placed the rope between Tommy's teeth and started to wrap it around his mouth several times. "This is one time you can't fight back Tommy. The tengas finished wrapping the rope around Tommy's mouth and tied it tightly behind his head. They took another long rope and started to wrap it around Tommy's shoulders.
"Prefect!" Goldar laughed when the tengas finished wrapping the rope around laid on the ground in discomfort. From his mouth all the way down to his feet he was in a rope like cocoon. One of the tengas removed his white cheerleading shoes. He could only move his eyes and toes. He watched Zedd remove Kimberly's ear plugs. Kimberly still couldn't move, and he forced her drink a potion.
"Look what happened Kimberly!" Lord Zedd mocked as he pointed towards Tommy. "You are the reason he's in this shape. If it wasn't for you, he wouldn't be like this would he?
"I guess you're right," Kimberly sighed as her eyes flashed pink. "Maybe I made mistake when I told him how I felt. I guess it's better to not know if he loves me. I'd be crushed if he didn't love me in return."
Zedd grabbed her by the hair and drug her over to Tommy. "Kimberly has taken the potion of doubt and guilt. She feels guilty over what happened, and doubts Tommy loves her. The potion will not wear off until she realizes you love her," he remarked watched Kimberly just sit there miserably and Tommy lying next to her.
"You'll have to figure out how to break the spell over Kimberly yourself," Goldar smirked watching Zedd pointing his wand at Kimberly and Tommy. "For now, why don't you go back to school. You need some alone time together."
"How do you know exactly with what happened!" Tommy shouted looking at Andrew with rage. "You weren't even there!"
"Yes, I was," Andrew corrected slapping Tommy across the face.
"Does that mean you're-"
"Are you accusing me of being Zedd?" Andrew hissed spitting at Tommy. "Hasn't it ever dawned on you that there are other ways that I could have known."
"But, you know Zedd?!" Tommy demanded as he struggled to get up.
"Yes, I know Zedd and that is all I'm going to say," Andrew answered glaring at Tommy. "I hate you just as much as Zedd's does!"
"Why do you hate him so much?" Kimberly questioned.
"Because I knew he'd be a threat to me," Andrew started. He took a seat in a chair. "When he first asked you to be his girlfriend, I knew he was very serious about you-"
"- I was very serious about this girl!" Tommy interrupted with his eyes flashing green." And I still am. When I met her, I immediately knew she was the girl I wanted to marry!"
"Yes, I knew you truly loved Kimberly from the moment you met her," Andrew remarked leaning back in his chair. "Especially after James started tracking me. I knew you would have married her sooner if she was of age. That's why I made sure she took the doubt and guilty potion to make her doubt that you loved her and to make her guilty over you both getting detention. All she talked about was how she should distance herself from you to prevent you from being hurt."
"Andrew, I love him," Kimberly sighed with tears forming in her eyes. She scooted closer to Tommy and their bare shoulders brushed up against each other. "I didn't want him hurt."
"I thought after I found the personal information about Tommy not being able to father a child you wouldn't him," Andrew said crossing his arms. "You once said as a young teenager that you only wanted someone who you could have children with."
Tommy's eyes widened, and he watched Kimberly's mouth drop as tears run down her face. "Kim, is this true?" Tommy questioned as his eyes began to fill up with tears. He turned his head to prevent Kimberly from seeing his tears.
"Tommy," Kimberly sobbed resting her head on his shoulder. "That was long before I met you. I had no idea what it was like to love someone until I met you. When I met you all I wanted was to spend my life with you, my best friend and the one I love most. It doesn't make a difference to me if we have children or not. All I want to be happily married to you."
Tommy turned around and pressed his lips against hers and started to kiss her.
"Yuck, it makes me sick to see how much you love each other! I told Kimberly I'd never pay for a wedding if she married you," Andrew rasped getting out of his chair. "I should have known you two would elope."
"I love him," Kimberly repeated when Andrew walked over to them. "I carry his name, not yours. I'm his now."
"And she is only mine!" Tommy added in an angry voice. "I won't let you take her, Edd!"
"Tommy, my name is not Edd! It's...Ze" Andrew paused as Tommy and Kimberly stared at him. He couldn't believe Tommy almost tricked him into revealing his identity. He wasn't ready for them to know. "It's Andrew!"
"Then why did you start to say-"
"Because I don't like to be called Edd!" he shouted as he felt his stomach get bubbly. "You got me so mad, I am not even thinking straight!" I need some time to think and get my head on straight." He ran out of the room and pressed a switch and the door closed.
"I know who Andrew really is!" Kimberly whispered as she was trembling. "He must really be..."
The door opened, and Caroline stepped in. "How'd you find us?" Tommy questioned watching Caroline grab the keys off the wall.
"I saw Andrew press the switch," she whispered removing their hand cuffs. "Kimberly, you can't stay here! It isn't safe."
Author's note:
What do you think Caroline's secret is? What do you think was going on with Andrew?
