New chapter. Hope you guys like! The next couple of chapters are going to be a bit shorter, but don't worry, we're getting into the meat of the story now!


"Thank you guys," Kim said as soon as she finished. "My life has gone through so many changes. It is the source of all my songs. I've had my share of ups and downs, of broken dreams and regrettable mistakes. But I've been able to look back on my life and be thankful for what I do have. To my friends, I'm nowhere without you. Those that I have lost touch with and those that I speak to everyday. This show, like my others, is dedicated to you guys!"

Tommy stared at Annie H on stage. He knew that voice. He heard it everyday from when he moved to Angel Grove until she left. After that he didn't hear it very often, but thought about her all the time. He stared at her for a bit. 'Looks different. And I can't see her eyes,' he thought. His favorite feature of hers. 'But she has the same body built and her face is shaped the same. And her voice is still the same. I could never forget it.' Tommy turned toward Billy and Zack. They too, shared the same expressions of surprise that Tommy knew he had on his face.

"KIM?" The three of them simultaneously said.


"Come stop your crying
It'll be alright"

Kim thought of how Trini always said that to her. She thought of one particular time in her life when she sank into a deep depression and felt like nothing could reach out to her.


At the sound of Kim's name, Trini, Jason, Rocky, and Aisha turned around. Kira also looked over at Tommy, Billy, and Zack in surprise.

"Uh...how'd you know that, Dr. O?" whispered Kira. "Don't tell me she was one of your high school friends, too."

Tommy ignored her, focused on his old friends sitting in front of him.

"Tommy?" asked Jason. "Zack? Billy?"

"Jason? Trini?" replied Billy. "And Aisha and Rocky."

"What are you guys doing here?" Rocky and Zack asked at the same time.

"We're here for Kira," answered Tommy.

"We're here for Kim," answered Aisha.

Trini continued to stare at her old friends in shock.


"Just take my hand, hold it tight now
I will protect you from all around you
I'm gonna be here, don't you cry."

Kim loved her friends. They were her only family.


"We were part of the same team, Kira." Tommy answered her finally. "Kim, Jason, Trini, Zack, and Billy were the originals."

Comprehension dawned on Kira's face. "And then you joined them. And three of you left and Rocky, Adam, and Aisha joined," she said, remembering the video.

"Like I said, a freakin' reunion," Trent said loud enough for only Kira to hear.

"I thought you guys seemed familiar," she said.

Jason looked at her in confusion.


"For one so small, you seem so strong
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and strong"

As Kim sang these words, Tommy turned his attention back to the stage. He thought of himself and Kim. He'd be lying to himself if he said he was over her. Because he's not, especially after the abrupt end to their relationship.


Trini, Aisha, Jason, and Rocky were still turned around.

"What do you..." Jason started, asking Kira.

"Where have you been?" Trini asked Billy.

"How long...?"

Hayley cleared her throat. She looked at all of the former rangers. "My name is Hayley Ziktor. I think that you all have a lot to talk about amongst yourselves and I think it would be best if it waited until after the show."

Rocky looked at her in confusion. 'Who is this and why is she telling us what to do?' Jason had the same expression written on his face.

"She's right," Trini whispered. "Now is not the time nor the place."

Reluctantly, Aisha, Rocky, and Jason turned around.

"Dude, that's the original red sitting right there!" Conner whispered excitedly to Ethan, who was staring at the rangers in front of him in awe.


"This bond between us, it can't be broken
I'm gonna be here, don't you cry."

Kim finished her song with her friends all deep in thought about each other. Before she started her next song, Trini turned around suddenly. "We usually go out to dinner after Kim's shows," she said to her friends behind her. "How about you guys join us?"

Zack nodded excitedly. "Of course." He couldn't wait to catch up with his friends.

Billy looked over at Hayley before nodding at Trini.

Tommy looked on stage. "Will she even..."

Trini interrupted Tommy before he could finish. "Yes or no, Tommy?"

"Sure."

"Okay then." Trini gave him a small smile before turning around.


"I'll always remember
It was late afternoon
It lasted forever,
But it ended too soon"

Tommy let out a breath that he didn't know he was holding. He was beginning to get nervous at the thought of seeing Kim later on that night. He didn't know whether or not he should be happy or angry. But he knew he was over the letter.

"You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark grey sky
I was changed"

Kim thought of Tommy losing his green ranger powers. She had found him trying to avoid everyone.

"In places no one would find
All your feelings so deep inside
It was then that I realized
That forever was in your eyes
The moment I saw you cry"

Tommy thought about when he lost his green ranger powers. That was the first time he remembered crying over something. The last was when he received the letter from Kim.

"It was late in September
And I've seen you before
You were always the cold one
But I was never that sure."

'I know you're the green ranger' Kim remembered when she confronted Tommy in the youth center, while he was working out. She remembered the green glow in his eyes.

"You were all by yourself
Staring up at a dark, grey sky
I was changed"

'I didn't want to make it easy for you' Tommy remembered when he asked Kim out to a school dance. He thought he was nervous back then, it didn't compare to how he felt now.

"I wanted to hold you
I wanted to make it go away
I wanted to know you
I wanted to make your everything all right."

'Time to wake up, Beautiful' Kim had known from their first kiss by the lake, as she knows now, that she would love Tommy Oliver for the rest of her life.


Songs are: "You'll Be In My Heart"--Phil Collins (also remade by Usher) and "Cry"--Mandy Moore.

If you were wondering, a little "off-screen" explanations happened when Zack and Kira met backstage after her set, which is why she asked that thing about Tommy's high school friends. If you guys have any questions, just ask! I'll answer them as long as they don't reveal anything coming up in future chapters. I have a feeling that it may get a bit confusing.
