"Kimberly! Come back!" Caroline shouted as she watched Kimberly disappear into the storm. "Come back!"
"What else could go wrong?" Jan sobbed covering her face with her hands, while James pulled her into his arms. Before Jan left for training everything all was well. Tommy had told her he was going to reveal his true feelings to Kimberly and he was nervous. But, she expected that he'd be nervous since he was talking about his feelings, which he normally didn't do. It just didn't make sense that something could happen overnight that would make Tommy runaway. "My son is gone and is probably out in that storm! Now Kimberly has gone after him!"
Aisha slipped on her rain coat and walked to the door. "I'm going to go out and see if I can find Kimberly," she began as Rocky pulled up into the drive way. "I've called Rocky, Adam, and Billy a few minutes ago. We're going to drive around town to see if we can find Kimberly. Hopefully, we'll be able to find Tommy too. You can get in the car and come with us."
"Jan and I have to go to the police station and talk with the police," James started. He was trying to be strong for his wife, but, everyone could tell he was just as upset as she was because his face was covered in tear stains and his eyes were puffy and red. "We have to take a picture of Tommy down there."
James turned to face Aisha. "What was Tommy wearing today?" he asked in a worried voice.
"He was wearing a pair of green jogging pants, a white long sleeve tee shirt with green stripes going down the sleeves, and a pair of green flip flops," Aisha began while three pairs of eyes were locked on her like radar. "However, his dressing habits were off-"
"Are you saying my son didn't come to school neatly groomed!?" gasped Jan as she looked at Aisha. "How dare you say that! My son is always neatly groomed and-"
"Jan, let Aisha talk," James stated. "We need to this information when we go to the police station."
All of them faced Aisha. Beads of sweat were running down Aisha's face as she was trying to find the words to say. "His jogging pants were baggy and they had a hole in the knee. The whole front of his shirt was brown and it had a tear in it-"
"How did he get that way?!" Jan interrupted as she took a seat on the couch. She crossed hers arms and was tapping her foot. "He always drives to school."
"He told Kimberly that he got a flat tire and had to take it to the repair shop," Aisha continued as she took a seat in the arm chair. Caroline took a seat next to her. "He wasn't able to get a hold of anyone to come get him so he had to walk to school. Tommy said someone drove through a puddle of muddy water and it splashed all over him. Then when he was a block away from school, he slipped and fell in mud."
"Aisha, how was he wearing his hair?" James asked as he put his arm around Jan.
"It was pulled back into a pony tail, but it wasn't combed," she replied. "That's all I know about his appearance. But, I heard that he got into an argument with Kimberly and Billy before he left school."
Jan stood up and grabbed her rain coat and umbrella. "I think you need to come down to the police station," Jan declared as she tried to compose herself. The doorbell rang and Billy walked in. "Billy, I heard that Tommy lost his temper with you and Kimberly. What happened?"
Everyone turned towards Billy. He had come into get Aisha so they could go look for Kimberly. But, he had no idea that he'd be answering questions. "For some reason, Tommy was having mood swings and he smacked Kim's hand and shoved her down. I sensed there was something troubling him since she kept begging him to let her help him," testified Billy as water was dripping from his rain coat. He had no idea what to tell them about what was troubling Tommy, because Kimberly said she didn't even know exactly what it was troubling him. "Then I walked over to Tommy and tried to reason with him. He said I was always trying to get attention, I was trying to be Mr. Prefect, and I was Mr. Know it all. Kimberly stepped in and asked him to stop insulting me. Then Tommy asked her to take sides and didn't answer him-"
"-Did he say anything else?" James asked as his wife was rocking back and forth. She appeared to be in a daze since she was having a really hard time believing what she was being told about her son.
"He told Kimberly he got her point that she chose me over him," Billy nervously said. "Then Tommy stormed off and when we got to Ms. Appleby's class, she told Kimberly that Tommy went home and to see he got the notes that we were taking in class."
"Billy, I believe that you should come to," James declared as Jan Aisha walked out the door and got in James' truck. "We have to go to police station."
"I'll come," Billy agreed. "First let me go tell Rocky and Adam to go on and start looking for them."
Billy pulled his hood up and he saw Adam roll down the window on the passenger side of Rocky's truck. He stepped out into the down pour. Tiny grey rain pellets of water were come down fast hitting everything in its path. The wind howled and the tree branches began to dance in the wind. "You all go on and go search for Kimberly," Billy explained when he reached Rocky's truck. "The Oliver's want me and Aisha to go to the police station to feel out a police report. We'll meet you as soon as we can. I'll contact you find out where you and Aisha and I will teleport to your location, so you don't have to stop come and get us."
"Adam and I will go on," Rocky informed Billy. He had heard on the radio that the green ranger was out roaming the city and there was a chance that they could run into him somewhere. "You know about the green ranger?"
"Yeah, I saw on TV that he is out roaming around in the city," Billy gulped as he feared that they would meet him. "If you run into him, contact us immediately and we'll get there to help you as so as we can."
Rocky and Adam pulled out of the Hart's drive way and traveled along the busy high way. "I'm going to go drive around and see if I can find Kimberly," Caroline informed, as she got in her car. "Hopefully, we'll be able to find Tommy as well."
Billy got in the Oliver's truck along with Aisha and closed the door. "Good luck, everyone," Aisha and Billy whispered as they all went different directions.
Kimberly ran through the sliver water puddles as she continued looking for Tommy. The rain was cold and freezing as it made contact on her skin. "Tommy!" Kimberly shouted as she walked through the park. The path that she was running through was covered in muddy water. "Tommy! Where are you!?" Droplets of salty tears were soaking on her eye lashes as she started heading to the forest which was a 30-minute walk. Everyone else was in doors or at least she thought. If anyone saw her, the only clues that would give away her sadness were the pinkness of her eyes and the rain and tears that were mingling on her face.
A flash of green light appeared at the edge of the forest and the green rangers was wondering around. "It's morphing time!" Kimberly shouted as she held her morpher up in the air. "Pterodactyl!" The pink ranger stood in Kimberly's place which grabbed the green ranger's attention.
"Prepare to be destroyed, pink ranger!" hollered the green ranger as he charged towards her. A beam of red, black, yellow, and blue light appeared in the park. "Better yet, I'll destroy all of you at once!"
The five teens got out their lasers and started firing at the green ranger. But, he was much stronger than they realized. He could whip around corners as if he had super speed, which helped him dodge everything that was fired at him. He started throwing punches at Aisha since she was the closet ranger that he could get to first. Aisha was dodging the punches the best she could but was taking many in hits in the chest. She drew her laser gun at the green ranger and started firing her laser at him. Beams of light went fast through the air as the green ranger was finally taking some damage.
"Now, it's my turn!" Rocky cried as he drew out his power sword. He charged at the green ranger, but the green ranger disappeared like the speed of light. All of them looked around and he was nowhere to be found. "I guess he left."
"I'm afraid I didn't!" shouted the green ranger as he snatched Rocky's sword out of his hand and struck him across the chest.
Kimberly was tired of this stupid green ranger showing up and causing trouble. If he hadn't have showed up, there was a chance that she could have found Tommy by now. "I've had enough!" she shouted as she pulled out her power bow and pointed an arrow at him. Just as she shot the arrow at the green ranger, he jumped up in the air and the arrow hit the middle of a tree.
"Everyone, I think it's time we get the power blaster!" Rocky shouted as the green ranger appeared in the front of the forest and started charging at them again. "Get your weapons out!"
"Power Ax!"
"Power Bow!"
"Power Daggers!"
"Power Lance!"
"Power Sword!"
They aimed the power blaster straight at the green ranger and fired it at him, but he disappeared again. "Where did he go now?" Adam questioned as he looked around to see where the green ranger was.
"Over there!" Rocky pointed out as he pointed at a Tree. The green ranger was standing at the top branch. He pulled out a sword and immediately attacked Adam bringing the sword down and struck Adam in the chest sending him flying backwards into the monkey bars. Adam slowly stood up as he was catching his breath. The green ranger was charging at him again, but Rocky got in the way and pulled his sword out struck Rocky hard in the chest knocking him down to the ground. This evil green dude was faster than all five pairs of their eyes could trace.
Kimberly spun around and starting charging at the green ranger with Billy behind her as Aisha went to aide Adam and Rocky. He pulled out a smoke bomb and threw it in the middle of the park. The other four rangers were trapped in the smoke and couldn't see anything outside. Kimberly was the only ranger not in the smoke.
"Now, it's you and me, pinky! You're going down!" hissed the green ranger as he snuck up behind Kimberly and flipped her over. Kimberly growled as she stood up and jumped in the air and kicked outwards and kicked the green ranger in the chest. "I meant for that to happen! Now it's my turn!" He pulled his dragon dagger and started playing it. A special laser gun appeared in his hand and he started firing it. Suddenly, Kimberly was being struck over and over by laser arrows sending her flying through the air and she crashed to ground as she demorphed the moment she hit the ground.
She was lying face down on the ground and the green ranger walked over to her. "We're not through yet," warned the green ranger as he walked by her. "I want to battle you and you alone?"
"If I refuse?" she asked in a tired voice.
"I have the person you love," informed the green ranger. "You have 24 hours to make your decision. If you are smart, you will come to the forest. I am in the cave behind the waterfall. You will not tell anyone what I've told you." A beam of green light shot up into the air and disappeared into the forest.
Once the coast was clear, the other four rangers called down their powers and went over to Kimberly. She was on her knees panting. "Are you okay?" Aisha asked as she helped Kimberly up.
"Yeah, I'm okay," she lied as she was taking deep breaths. Her heart was pounding as fear was screaming all through her body. She wondered how long it had been since Tommy fell into the green ranger's evil clutches. She had to get to Tommy as quickly as she could without anyone trying to stop her.
"Aisha and I went down to the police station with Jan and James," Billy said while his chest rose and fell with rapid breaths. "We had answer some questions about when we last saw him and what he was wearing when we last saw him. The police are still looking for him and haven't found him yet."
The following morning, Kimberly decided that she was going to skip school to go search for Tommy. The sky was still dark as she looked out the window. On the TV, the weather man reported that it was going to be a very windy day in Angel Grove. And there was a possibility of rain. Kimberly walked over to her closet and got out a dark pink tee shirt, jeans, and a pink plaid flannel shirt. After she laid her out she quickly showered, brushed her teeth, and got dressed. She pulled her hair back into a pony tail with a pink puffy hair scrunchie.
Caroline was down stairs cooking breakfast. "I got a call from Jan this morning-"
Kimberly's heart leap as soon as she heard that. Hopefully Tommy had found a way to escape from the green ranger and was made it back home. "-Let me guess, Tommy's home," Kimberly interrupted in a cheerful voice. "After breakfast, I'm going to go see him."
"If wish that was true," Caroline said as she watched Kimberly cover her face with her hands. "They're still looking for him." She laid a piece of toast, scrambled eggs, and bacon on the plate and placed in front of Kimberly. Then she got her breakfast and took a seat next to her daughter.
"Do you think he's okay?" Kimberly asked in worried tone as she began to eat her breakfast.
"I'm praying that he is," Caroline stated. "I'm worried about him too. He's like a son to me."
She went to school like normal, but today she went early. Kimberly placed her book bag in her locker and headed outside and got her rain coat out of her car. The wind rocked her back on her heels as her raincoat began to flap. A loud bell rang and school was officially in session. Pulling her hood up, she walked down the block until she reached the park.
"I'm coming, Tommy," she whispered as she broke out in a run and ran all the way to the forest. Once she reached the forest, multi colored leaves were soaring through the air. The winded sounded in a loud road, causing everything in its path to shake in fear. Even the squirrels who were gathering acorns dropped their acorns and went inside their tree in fear. She walked through the woods until she found a stream. That meant the waterfall wasn't too far from her. She broke out in a run and flowed the stream, until she heard waves crashing and pounding on the surface.
Her eyes landed on a waterfall that was coming down at a very fast pace. Huge slippery rocks were standing in a straight line as if they were the path to the secret cave. Kimberly quickly jumped on one of the rocks. For a second she nearly lost her balance as her feet hit the slippery surface. Slowly and carefully she jumped from rock to rock until she was in front of the waterfall. Taking a deep breath, she jumped into the water fall and landed on a stone like floor. She slowly got up and viewed her surroundings.
The cave was lit up with torches on the wall and sitting in the corner was a green hiking backpack, and a green sleeping bag. Sitting next to the sleeping bag was a tall handsome boy dressed in jeans, a white tee shirt, and a green flannel shirt. "TOMMY!" she cried as she ran over to her best friend threw her arms around him.
"Kimberly?" Tommy gasped as he wrapped his arms around her. He was over joyed to see her and have his closet friend with him. But, he was also worried because he was worried about her safety. The last thing he wanted to do was hurt her. "What are you doing here?"
"Rescuing you," she answered as tears were running down her face. "We have to leave-"
"-Kim," Tommy interrupted as he felt her kiss him on the cheek. "I can't go."
"What do you mean?" Kimberly questioned as she took a seat next to him. "Yes, you can go. The green ranger isn't here. Let's go before we're caught-"
"-Kim," he interrupted again. "The green ranger is already here."
She grabbed his hand and they both stood up. "What are you talking about?" Kimberly asked in a confused voice. "It's just me and you. He's probably out somewhere. Tommy, please come with me."
"-Kim," he said in a nervous voice when he noticed they were holding hands. "There's something I have to tell you. What I am about to tell you is... I know you are the pink ranger."
Her jaw dropped as soon as he said that. She had never told him that she was the pink ranger. As her heart began to pound her eyes began to tear up as she suddenly realized the truth and why he ran away. "Tommy, are you really?"
He walked over to his hiking backpack and got out the gold coin and placed it in her hand. Kimberly looked down at the coin as she saw the dragon symbol on it. The coin began to glow green and she threw it across the room. "Tommy, you're the green ranger?!" she gasped as she looked into his chocolate eyes.
