Kimberly took some time off from college to recover from her battle from Psycho Pink. Tommy took on line classes and quickly received his Rank 1 and then he quickly earned his Rank 2. Both were in Paleontology. Kimberly started working on her masters degree, when Tommy started working on his PhD. She was going to go back sooner, but her mom and step-father got hurt, while they were visiting Tommy's family. While they were recovering, Kimberly stayed home to help take care of them, while Tommy took online course. Caroline and Pierre never revealed what happened to them.
She finished her masters degree shortly after parents went back to Paris. Kimberly had trouble finding a teaching job, so Haley let her work for her in her cyber space café. Shortly after Kimberly started working for Haley, Tommy's parents, Kimberly's mother, and step father, all chipped to help them build a house in Reefside. The house was two stories and had a basement. It had four bed rooms, since a lot of Tommy's friends planned to visit.
"Beautiful, what do you think about us doing our room in pink, green, white, red, and black?"
"I like that we're doing our room in our rangers colors. But, you aren't the black ranger yet."
"I will be in the future. If we add black now, we won't have get anything black for our room later."
Kimberly liked the idea. So, Tommy painted their bedroom green. They had a had a white boarder with red and pink flowers. The bottom half of the room had pink, black, and white plaid wall paper, the carpet was dark shade of white, their curtains were pink, and their comforter was black with white, green, red, and pink butterflies. Their bath room was done in pink and white. It had pink and white plaid wall paper, a pink carpet, a white rug, and pink and white bath towels. The other four rooms were done in the other ranger colors. One room was done in blue, one was done in red, and the third was done in pink and yellow.
Before, Tommy went to his internship he bought a lot of black clothes, so he wouldn't have to buy them when he became the black ranger. When it was time for him to go to the island, Tommy asked if Kimberly could go with him. Both Anton Mercer and Terrance Smith said no, which Tommy hated. He hoped that Kimberly could go with him because he was going to be gone for three months. When Tommy had to tell her that she couldn't go, it didn't go over as well as he hoped. She cried when she found out that she couldn't go, she cried the week before he left, and she cried on the morning that he had to leave. Haley and Billy drove them to the air port.
"I'll call you every day," promised Tommy.
"Twice a day," corrected Kimberly.
"Okay, I'll call you twice a day," stated Tommy. "I'll call you at noon, when you're on break at Haley's and I'll call you at 7:30 every night."
"You told me that the island exploded after you had been on the island for a month and a half," whispered Kimberly.
"That's when it happened before," answered Tommy. "I only told Billy that we're trying to change history. Haley doesn't know yet."
"Tommy, we'll take care of her," promised Billy. "They are fixing up the apartment. Do you care if Haley and I move into you house for the next month and a half. I told Haley about the island."
"You remember it?" asked Tommy.
"All I remember is sending you both back in time," answered Haley. "When Ivan came in, I had device that erased it from Kira, Ethan, Conner, and Trent's memory. They won't remember it, when they become rangers again."
Tommy left and went through security check point. It was really hard on Tommy and Kimberly. They realized that there could be some minor changes. The next few weeks went by slow. Tommy created a red, yellow, blue, pink, black, and white dino gem. He made an orange gem and a purple gem incase they ever needed any help. He saw that Smitty kept some type of jar in the lab, which was something he didn't have last time. Tommy was waiting for the prefect time to look at the jar.
A Few Weeks Later
The last few days Tommy had been keeping his backpack with him at all times. Inside he had all of the dino gems, a life jacket, a life preserver, bottled water, crackers, the clothes that he wore to the island, a pair of black board shorts, a first aide kit and his cell phone. He woke up early that morning, ate quick breakfast, took a quick shower, shaved, and brushed his teeth. Tommy put on his bath robe and went back into his bed room. He got out his cell phone and sent Kimberly a text message.
At the Oliver house, Kimberly was asleep in their bed. Her cell phone was on the night stand. She heard her cell phone ring and saw she had a text from Tommy. Kimberly quickly read the text.
"My Beautiful Pink Princess, I've woken up early. Can't sleep, since it is the day that the lab exploded. I've just taken a shower and ate breakfast. I've texted you before about a jar Smitty is hiding, I'm going to go check it out."
Kimberly quickly texted him back and Tommy read the message.
"You don't know what is in that jar or if it is being guarded by something. Please don't do something stupid."
Both of them started texting back and fourth.
Tommy: What if it's the ooze?
Kimberly: It is likely. But, only a villain and pick it up.
Tommy: It won't hurt if I go look.
Kimberly: You may not like what you find. Whatever you find could cause an explosion.
Tommy: Last time, the island exploded because of an experiment going wrong.
Kimberly: This isn't last time. Haley told us things could be different.
Tommy: I'm going to go check things out. I'm not going to touch anything. I will text you when check things out.
Kimberly: Call me when you check things out. Call me in ten minutes.
Tommy pulled out his khaki pants, black tee shirt, and tan shirt. He quickly got dressed and put his back pack on. Then he put his cell phone on vibrate and put it in his pocket. He walked out of his room and went into the lab. No one was in there and he went to the storage unit that Smitty was storing the jar. Tommy opened the storage unit and saw the bottle of ooze. He didn't even bother to touch it and closed the storage unit.
There were people coming into the lab and he quickly got out. Anton and Smitty came in and started to do an experiment. Tommy hid behind some boxes since he couldn't go back to his room. His cell phone was vibrating. He quickly pulled out his phone and saw he had a text message from Kimberly. Tommy quickly read it.
"I told you to call me back in ten minutes. I called you and left you a message ten minutes after you called, and you didn't answer. I've been waiting for over 30 minutes. Did the island explode? Where are you? Why aren't you answering your cell phone?"
Tommy sent her a message back. Kimberly heard her cell ring and saw she had a text. She quickly read it.
"My cell phone is on silent. My text tone is on vibrate. You were right, it was the bottle of ooze. I didn't touch it. I am sitting behind some boxes, since I can't get back to my room. Anton and Smitty are in the lab doing an experiment. I see tyrannodrones coming, this is about the time the lab exploded."
She texted him back and he quickly read the message.
"I'm contacting Kat and Willie. He has his own business and has a helicopter. We'll come find you."
Kimberly got out of bed and got out a pink jogging suit (with flannel lining inside), a pink turtle neck, and a pair of pink winter boats. She quickly got dressed and grabbed a black jogging suit, a white tee shirt, and a pair black winter boats. She put them in a tote and contacted Willie and explained what was going on. He agreed to take her,Haley, and Billy to go look for Tommy. Meanwhile, Tommy quickly laid his backpack next to him. He unzipped it, dropped his cell phone inside it, got out his life jacket and he quickly put it on; then he slipped his backpack on. A glass object hit the floor and made a loud shatter noise. Tommy quickly made his way out of the building. Once he was out of the building he heard a loud popping sound. He took off running into the forest, but ran into several tryannodrones. Tommy literally had to fight all of the tryannodrones as he passed them. Finally, he reached the edge of the cliff that he jumped off of the last time the lab exploded. He heard a loud exploding noise and he jumped off of the edge of the cliff.
He hit the water hard, but his life jacket kept him from going under the water. At least he didn't have to swim up to the surface, like he did before. Tommy wondered if Anton and Smitty made it out. And he also wondered if the ooze made it out of the lab. He began to start swimming in the huge body of water, to find some land. Meanwhile, Kimberly,Billy, and Haley were in Willie's helicopter. Kat was in the at school teaching.
"You never told me Kat got a job teaching a Reefside!" gasped Kimberly.
"She teaches beginner chorus, music theory, art history, advanced art classes," explained Willie. "Aisha helped her get her job there. She is a music teacher. Aisha teaches chorus, a period of music history, and a period of music appreciation. Kat's just started teaching this year."
"Have you seen anything yet?" asked Kimberly. "Have you found him?"
"There is someone swimming in the ocean!" cried Billy, as he was looking through binoculars. "It looks like Tommy."
"Find a place to land!" demanded Kimberly. "You can land the helicopter land in water, can't you?"
"I made sure that I got in the helicopter, when I left Haynes International," answered Willie. "I have several helicopters there."
"I think you should just start finding a place to land," whispered Billy.
Willie started to land the helicopter in water. Billy and Haley were still using their binoculars to make sure they didn't loose sight of Tommy.
"Is he close by?" questioned Kimberly.
"He is," answered Billy. "Tommy has a life jacket on, but he looks really tired. Haley's helping him get in the helicopter."
As soon as he got in the helicopter, he got a big hug from Kimberly. Tommy took a seat in the back of the helicopter with Kimberly. She handed him his clothes and he went into the back of the helicopter and changed out of his wet clothes. After he changed, Willie headed back to Reefside.
"Did you get the gems?" asked Kimberly.
"They are in my backpack," answered Tommy.
"Want me to help you build a lab in your basement?" asked Haley.
"I'll help you too," added Billy.
"I'd really like that," smiled Tommy.
