A few weeks past and Tommy is on a plane ride back home. Kim has tried to adjust to not being with Tommy and puts on an act for her friends.
"Guys I am fine with Tommy returning really I am." "I do not mind going to his welcome home party; we are all still power rangers."
"Still Kim we could do something else." Aisha flips her braids.
Kim shakes her head. "You all have made up besides Tommy and I can be friends right."
"Yea," Rocky replies.
"So let's go." Kim walks to her car and drives to Tommy's house. She is the first to arrive. "Hello Mr. and Mrs. Oliver."
"Hey Kim, that is a lovely dress you have on."
"Thank you I brought it last week."
Mrs. Oliver was glad to see Kim and hoped that one day her son would come to his senses.
A minute later, the other rangers show up and take seats by Kim.
"Wow Mrs. Oliver really missed her son she is going bananas," Adam laughs.
"Mothers have that maternal bond with their son."
"Oh my world; he is here." Mrs. Oliver looks out the window,
Kim fixes her dress; she wanted Tommy to take one look at her and want her back badly.
Tommy opens the door. "What is this?"
"A welcome back party son," Mr. Oliver tells him before he hugs him.
That is when everyone sees Roselyn right behind him.
Kim looks as though she might faint.
"Mom, dad, everyone this is Roselyn."
"Hi everyone," Roselyn waves shyly.
As people are saying hi to Roselyn, Kim begins to walk towards the bathroom bumping into Tommy who was taking his and Roselyn bags upstairs.
"Oh sorry Kim… I am glad you came."
Kim waves weakly. "Yea well we are friends right?"
"Of course we are." Tommy stares at Kim in that short dress.
Roselyn walks over to them. "Hey you must be Kim." Argh a girly girl.
"Yeah, hi Roselyn." Kim notices how she moves closer to Tommy. "I am going to get a soda."
Tommy is about to go to Kim when Roselyn stops him. "I would like a tour of the house."
"Okay a quick tour." He carries the bags up the steps.
"I just remembered my mother needs me to help her paint." Kim grabs her jacket.
"Oh I can help," Aisha stands up.
"No just enjoy the rest of the party." Kim walks out the door and drives home. Oh my, she followed him upstairs. I cannot believe she is here.
Back at the Oliver's, house the gang warms up to Roselyn.
"You can skate board like that," Jason is amazed.
"Yea, I have been doing it since I was six."
"You like sports too; you are one cool girl to hang out with."
"Thanks guys tell me that all the time."
When Roselyn is alone Aisha approaches her. "Can you teach me how to skate board?"
"Sure I like it when girls begin to skate."
"Adam tells me I need a guy's hobby."
"Typically guy; so when do you want to learn?" Yes a new friend that is a girl.
"Whenever you are free." Aisha answers.
"Tomorrow would be cool; I know Tommy wants to hang out with the guys."
"Cool, I have no plans."
Aisha and Roselyn talk for the rest of the night.
Tommy asks Roselyn when they were alone in his room, "What did she think of his friends?"
"They are awesome, they all have great personalities except I did not get to meet Kim that well."
"Oh I heard she had to help her mom."
"I guess I can get to know her without there being any awkwardness." Roselyn walks to her room leaving Tommy staring after her.
"Rita see that; we can turn Kim evil." Lord Zedd sprinkles a potion on Kim as she slept. He had been watching the drama unfold and loved it.
Kim is bored the next day and asks Aisha to go shopping with her. "Oh come on Aisha skip learning that secret hobby and join me at the mall."
"Sorry Kim I need to learn this uh see you later." Aisha hangs up the phone.
What is the secret that she is learning? Kim wonders as she pops some popcorn and watches a movie. After the movie, Kim listens to music before she heads to the mall. I will go shopping by myself. She hops in her car and heads to the mall.
Aisha is at the skate park with Roselyn. "Ouch that hurt; how did you continue during this?"
"Practice and many scars and bruises later." "Want to go again?"
"No I need to buy new shoes. I scuffed these up better bad." Let's go to the mall."
Kim is walking to one of her favorite stores when she spots Aisha. Ha, she is not learning a new hobby; I am going to get her. She begins walking toward her until she spots Roselyn walking into the store with her. What the… Kim eyes begin to turn a dark pink. She walks over to her best friend. "Hey Aisha I see that you are so learning that new hobby," Kim tells her coolly.
"Kim I uh we uh were um she was teaching me how to skate board."
"Sure she was; so Roselyn is that your skate board clothes or do you always dress like prepubescent boy?" Kim smirks.
Roselyn stares at Kim for a moment. "Um my everyday clothes."
"Geez Tommy must have really lost his eye sight; come on where do you shop guys' r us?" "What is up with that boyish body of yours no wonder you had to become a boy." Kim laughs.
"Kim that was not nice." Aisha is shocked at Kim's behavior.
"I can handle her Aisha; at least I don't spend all my time on my hair." She added emphasis to the word hair.
Kim flips her hair, "Aw are you jealous because my hair bounces." Forgot answering that you two are cramping my style." Kim walks out the store.
Aisha tells Tommy and the others about Kim's behavior
"Kim was mean?"
"I did not think Kim had a mean bone in her body," Billy adds.
"She is right Kim was evil towards me."
"I will go have a talk with her."
"Tommy we will join you."
When the rangers and Roselyn find Kim, she is at the park hanging with a group of mean bullies.
"Hey Kim can we talk?" Tommy asks her.
Kim glances at him through her sunglasses, "Aren't you talking to me now."
The others snicker at her answer.
"I mean alone."
"Alone hum I don't think that boy of girlfriend you have would not like that too much." Kim files her fingernails.
Kim's new gang laughs again.
"Just because I am not prissy like you does not make me a boy."
"Hum to me it does; I guess you are going to pick your teeth and fart for the fun of it."
Kim's new gang laughs again.
The rangers cannot believe that sweet Kim is talking in such a manner.
"Kim that is not nice, Roselyn is awesome."
"Gee big brother I remember when I used to be that to you." Kim flips her hair. "I am so over this let's go." Kim stands up and the others follow.
"Do you think Kim is acting because she is jealous," Rocky asks.
"Could be but I am not sure," Adam shakes his head.
"Maybe we ought to conduct a few tests on her." Billy wipes his glasses.
The next is the tournament for women's karate and everyone is anxious to see how Kim will behavior. She and Aisha are both entered into the tournament.
Kim walks in with the mean gang, which lets the rangers, know she is still evil. She sits down and pays no attention to the rangers.
"What is her problem?" Rocky ask as he a slice of pizza.
Kim spots Kevin. "Come sit by me."
Kevin walks over to her. "Hey Kim are you ready?"
"Yeah I am, so miss me?" Kim leans into him.
Tommy eyes take on a greenish tint.
"Hey Tommy I did not know your eyes turned green."
"Oh Roselyn they do sometimes."
Kim sees Tommy's eyes. Good now let's make him implode. "Say do I have anything in my teeth?" She lifts up her head and from the angle; it looks as though she is kissing Kevin.
"No Kim your teeth are perfect as usual."
"Thanks." She was Tommy ball his fist and tries to stand up but Adam and Jason holds him down.
"Calm down dude; you dumped her remember," Jason whispers.
Tommy takes a few deep breathes before he sort of calms down.
The announcer calls for the first match to begin.
Soon it is Kim's turn and she knocks the girl flat in three seconds amazing everyone.
"Did anyone know Kim could move that fast?"
"No Billy I did not and we trained every day," Tommy replies.
Aisha and Kim are the semifinalists and must compete against each other.
"I am a little frighten of her maybe I should forfeit the tournament."
"No way Aisha show that bully who is boss."
"Okay but if she hurts me I am going to hurt you." Aisha stands up and walks to the mat.
Kim gives Aisha an evil smile before she bows.
Aisha shudders. It is suddenly very cold in here.
Kim punches Aisha before she kicks her.
Oh she is not moving as fast as she was maybe she won't attack me like she did that girl.
Kim sees Aisha beginning to relax. Perfect. Kim moves towards Aisha at lightning speed and has pinned to the floor. It looks like Kim is trying to break Aisha arm.
The referee ends the match before Kim can and declares Kim the winner.
Kim smirks as Aisha is rubbing her arm and heading to the power rangers. "Aw you may want to put some ice on that."
The bullies crack up at Kim's pretend act of niceness.
"Skull carry my trophy and do not drop it." "Victory party at the bonfire on the beach."
"We need to go and try to get old Kim back," Tommy says.
Roselyn wonders why he is suggesting it.
Cogs and super putties are attacking downtown Angel Grove. Kim huffs as she goes to help the rangers. I have to get ready for the bonfire.
"Where are they coming from," Jason questions as he kicks a cog.
"They are not multiplying you guys are just weak." Kim remarks.
"At least she showed up," Billy reasons.
Tommy is getting jumped by five cogs and wants to do a combo with Kim.
Kim senses Tommy's thoughts and she looks at him as though he has lost his mind before she moves away from him.
Did she really just leave me hanging? Tommy thinks nearly getting punched in the face.
After the monsters are defeated Kim teleports out before the others can talk to her. At the beach, Kim is standing by the bonfire with Kevin.
"You are a strong manly man to handle the big bad fire," Kim flirts.
Kevin loves the attention from Kim, smiles at her. "Want to go out Friday night?"
"Busy with stuff." He is such a tool. Kim can sense that the rangers are watching her and she holds her arm as if it is in a cast.
Aisha glares at her before she hits Roselyn.
"Ouch Aisha." Roselyn rubs her arm.
"I told you she hurts me I hurt you."
Kim laughs at the interaction.
"Okay next on stage is Kim and the groupies."
Kim steps onto the beach's manmade stage and waits for the music. The first song Kim sings a pop tune about a girl having everything and nothing can stand in her way.
"Oh I know what the problem is the princess's true colors are showing," Roselyn tells Tommy.
After the applause, dies down the groupies leave the stage and Kim performs a ballad about losing the one you love to someone else.
Tommy stares at Kim as she sings the words. Could the reason that she is acting weirdly be due to heartbreak? Maybe I should talk to her; I do miss her. Miss her be real with yourself Tommy you more than miss her you want to have her be in your arms and kiss her senseless.
Kim bows as she receives applause. "Thank you I will be signing autographs later." She walks off the stage and to her place by the bonfire.
Tommy without thinking walks over to Kim. "Can we talk for real this time?"
Kim looks at him for a second before she accepts his hand and walks with him to a secluded part.
"I am sorry how things turned out between us; I never meant to hurt you."
"Yet you did; Tommy my heart is broken into a million pieces." That's right Kim play the poor hurt ex-girlfriend.
"How can I make it up to you?" He is well aware that he is still holding Kim's hand.
"What do you think you should do?" Kim gives his hand a little squeeze.
Tommy looks into her eyes. "Something I have been suppressing since I returned and saw you. He moves Kim's hair out of face and leans towards her.
