The following day, Tommy and Kimberly went to take their GED test. And they both passed it. They both registered for the spring semester at the community college. Since they did so well on the GED and because they were straight A students in high school, they got to attend for free. And since they took AP classes in high school, they already had enough credit hours to be sophomores'.All they were responsible for was paying for their text books, meals, and furniture for their dorm. After they renewed their driver's licenses, they went to Wal-Mart to buy things for their room. Since they were living in a married couple's dorm, they had a double bed, a desk for two people to sit at, a dresser, a closet, and a bathroom in their dorm.

They got a white bed comforter with pink roses. The border around the comforter was green and black. And they got matching pillow cases to go with it. They got a green sheet and a pink sheet to put on the mattress. Kimberly wanted to display some of their pictures, so Tommy took his camera card to wal-mart and printed out their wedding pictures. They made copies of the pictures they were going to display, so they could keep the original picture in the photo album. Kimberly picked out several frames that held more than one picture and a special frame for wedding pictures.

Both of them all ready had the their math, history, and English college credits because those were some of the AP classes that they took. When they signed up for their classes, they signed up for Intro. to Psychology, Swimming 101, Biology 101, and Physical Education 101. Kimberly signed up for a gymnastics class and Tommy signed up for a paleontology class. Tommy taught a karate class on Friday afternoons for younger students, since he only had his paleontology class in the morning. And Kimberly taught gymnastics classes for younger students on Friday afternoons. Both of them received a salary because they had a part time job on the campus.

A Few Years Later Fall 2001

Three and a half years later, both of them were doing graduate studies. Tommy was working on his PhD, which was very surprising to everyone. Many would have asked how he was able to do it. He took a full course load each semester, and he went on trips during spring and fall break and got a lot of credit quickly. And he always was always grateful that they were allowed to invite one guest because he was able to take Kimberly with him. She was finishing up her masters degree in fitness training.

A lot had happened in the past few years. The space rangers defeated Dark Spector and Astronema. All of the old villains were gone and the didn't have to worry about Ed Hart anymore. Kimberly was wanting to teach Physical Education. However, there wasn't any opening at any of the schools. So, she started teaching gymnastics to children at a youth center. Billy had moved to Reefside to teach science at Reefside University. And he had Tommy and Kimberly in one of his classes. At first they were afraid that he'd hold hard feelings against them. But, he didn't. He actually admired them and really respected them. Billy and Haley started dating.

Billy filled them in about all of the rangers. Kat was living in London and reached her dream of being a ballerina. Tanya had a record contract and was a famous singer and she was married to Adam. Adam opened his own karate studio with Rocky. Aisha was working at a zoo in Angel Grove. Zach had married Angela and both of them were famous dancers. Jason had a karate studio in San Francisco; Trini was also in San Francisco and was a fashion designer. She was dating Jason.

Tommy and Kimberly bought a new house way back in the woods and had just moved into it. Billy and Haley helped them move in and they helped them buy furniture. Even though they had Ed's money in the bank and it was drawing interest every year, Haley and Billy wanted them to have enough money to pay bills until they both had jobs. After they moved in Tommy ordered pizza for everyone.

Billy told Tommy and Kimberly that he still kept in touch with Jan and James. Tommy ended up telling Billy that he saw Jan and James on the day he married Kimberly. And he told him about how Jan looked and how she treated him and Kimberly. They told Billy that Jan didn't know who they were. And they told him about seeing Caroline on the bus on their way to Reefside. Kimberly even told him about the Caroline and Jan throwing away pictures of them as kids growing up.

"We tricked Caroline into giving us the pictures," explained Tommy. "We told her that we'd throw all of the pictures away for her. She said it hurt her too much to throw them away. And she gave us our baby books and all of the photo albums."

"Have you heard from James or Jan?" asked Billy. "What about Caroline?"

"No", answered Kimberly. "When we saw them both they ran us down. Jan said horrible things about me and Caroline said horrible things about Tommy. They both said if they ever found us, the first thing they would do is keep me and Tommy apart. They said if they found us and we were married they wouldn't have nothing more to do with us. At times I wonder if Caroline knew who we were, when she saw us. I knew that she didn't know recognize Tommy because he cut his hair and spiked it. He looked different and he was much taller."

"Beautiful, I never told you this, but I think Caroline knew us," admitted Tommy. "When we took a seat next to her, I saw her look down at your hand. She stared at your engagement ring and wedding ring for a long time. Then she stared at you and said you looked similar to her daughter."

"I never told you this, but I had suspected that too," added Kimberly. "I didn't tell you because I didn't want you hurt."

"Wonder why she gave you the baby books and photo albums?" asked Haley. "It doesn't make sense."

"Maybe because she didn't know Tommy," answered Billy. "I doubt Caroline would have given you the baby books and photo albums if she knew you both. I think she gave them to you because she wanted someone to throw them away. Tommy, I don't want to hurt you. If she knew you, wouldn't have given them to you. I know because of what she said to you."

"You haven't told Jan and James about us, have you?" asked Kimberly.

"No, I haven't," reassured Billy. "I wish things could be different. But, I've talked to her often. She said that if she ever found Tommy, she would keep him away from Kimberly. Then she said if you were married, she try to cause trouble between you two. And if it didn't work, she'd have nothing to do with you."

"What about James? asked Kimberly.

"James still thinks you both are still out there. He told me the other day, a few years ago on Christmas Eve, he saw a young couple come out of the wedding chapel. He said they were a nice couple," explained Billy. "Then he said he thought he knew who the boy was. But, he didn't know for sure, because his hair was spiked and he looked a little older than Tommy. He said the girl looked a little like Kimberly. But, she looked older than Kimberly."

"How is Jan?" asked Kimberly.

"She gotten to be more bitter and angry," Billy said sadly. "Her marriage with James is falling apart. They are separated."

"WHAT!?" gasped Tommy. "THAT'S NOT POSSIABLE! MY PARENTS HAD A GOOD MARRIAGE!"

"After Ed sit up the scene that made everything look like you were dead, Jan went crazy. She was in a mental hospital for awhile, because she talked about her son being a power ranger because she found the communicator and morpher in his back pack. They asked her if you had ever told her you were a ranger or if you she had ever seen you in your ranger uniform," explained Billy. "They asked her what color you were. She didn't know. All Jan told them was that for a long time you wore green, then all of a sudden you stopped wearing green and started wearing white. Finally, she said that you stopped wearing white and started wearing red. She told them that you were a green ranger, a white ranger, and a red ranger. They told her it was possible you could be a ranger. But, you couldn't be three rangers at once."

"What did they do?" asked Tommy.

"They did tests on her and they said she was mentally sick," admitted Billy. "They told her that it was probably just a toy morpher and communicator. She realized that you would have told her if you were a ranger. James gave me your morpher and communicator."

Billy reached into his pocket and got out the communicator and zeonizer. He handed them to Tommy. It had been five years, since he last saw them.

"Jan's really mad at you because she thinks you went out and bought a fake morpher and communicator," said Billy. "She thinks you tried to cover up the fact you went to the lake. Jan got counseling and had to see a physiatrist. She got much better and was realized from the hospital. She was there for two to five months."

"Is she still a nurse?" asked Kimberly.

"Yes," answered Billy. " James is still a pharmacist."

"James still sees Jan and they are trying to work everything out," added Haley. "Billy and I saw them last week. Jan has aged five to ten years. She's bitter, mean, hateful, and cruel. James is a wonderful person. He is a lot like Tommy. Believe it or not, he talked to me yesterday. He thinks that Tommy is still with Kimberly. James says that he think that you two are probably married by now. He says he couldn't fathering a child and they had to do a lot of procedures to get Jan pregnant. James said that they found Tommy has that some trait. It was when Tommy and Kimberly were both in the hospital after they were kidnapped by Ed."

Kimberly looked at Tommy. He had never told her.

"I'm sorry," apologized Tommy. "I didn't want you hurt because we can't have children."

Kimberly put her arms around Tommy.

"It's fine," smiled Kimberly. "I'm content. I really am. Tommy, I am happy being married to you. I'd rather have a wonderful husband; I don't want to be married to the wrong person and have a child and have a rough marriage. It isn't good for a child. My mom used to worry about me because of Ed and was worried how the divorce would turn out."

Just then, Billy's phone rang. It was Jason and he was really upset. Billy was on the phone was with him for a long time. Finally Billy got off the phone. Tears were streaming down his face. He had to tell Tommy and Kimberly the news that Jason gave him.
