The doorbell rang and Caroline went to the door. "Tommy, she's been waiting for you for the past hour," Caroline greeted as Tommy followed her into the living room. "Kimberly, he's finally here!"

She rushed to the door and hearts appeared in her eyes as soon as she saw her handsome prince. Tommy was in a White tailored suit, a white dress shirt, and a charming pink tie. He was wearing his hair the way she liked it, half pulled back into a ponytail and the rest hanging loose. "You look so handsome," Kimberly smiled as she made her way over to him.

Tommy's mouth dropped the very minute he saw Kimberly. She was dressed in a pink evening gown that was powdered with sliver sparkles. Her gown was tight around her sweetheart neckline providing her with a lot of cleavage. She spun around to show off her dress. The back of the dress was a lot lower than the front and it was surprising that narrow straps were strong enough to hold it up. Her Carmel hair was twisted into a tight bun. "You are so beautiful," he compliments as he followed her inside. Jan and James followed him with their cameras. He pulled out a box and handed it to her. "Therefore, I told you not to wear any jewelry."

She opened the box and saw a beautiful pink pearl necklace with matching earing rings and a bracelet. "Tommy, I love it!" she cried as they sat down and he helped her put her jewelry on. The very minute she had her jewelry on, she pecked him on the cheek leaving pink lip prints on his cheek. "That was so thoughtful!"


The music was spinning around all the couples dancing. Tommy couldn't count how many times he had accidently stepped on her feet. Kimberly had a bright smile on her face as her pink high heeled shoes clicked all over the dance floor. She watched as Tommy's hair spun out and bounced with each dance move and beat. Even though, Tommy wasn't a very good dancer, she was having a really good time with him. "I love you," she purred as she moved closer to him for the slower dancing.

His arms wrapped around her. All that mattered to him was the girl in front of him. "I love you too," he answered while he held her tight in arms. Bulk and Skull were dancing closer to them were their girlfriends Sophia and Samantha. Bulk and Sophia were getting wound up since the next song was much faster and it happened to be a disco song. Sophia did a free spin and Bulk let go of her hand and she bumped into the table. The table flipped up and the two bowls of punch went flying. One of the bowls soaked Tommy and Kimberly, while the other bowl soaked Ms. Smiley. Skull and Samantha did a heel turn, which turn out be a disaster. Samantha stepped on Kimberly's long skirt as Kimberly and Tommy were walking out of the gym. There was rip and the back of Kimberly's dress was in half.

"Oh no," Kimberly cried. Her face turned red and she quickly out the door before anyone could see her pink lacy panty set. She had never been so humiliated in her life. Nor did she expect her first dance with Tommy to be ruined. She expected it to be a fun filled night and something that they could look back on years down the road.

"KIM!" Tommy shouted as he watched Kimberly run to the nearest exit. "KIM! WAIT UP!"

Kimberly couldn't turn back now, she had to get away from the student body and find a place to hide. She ran to the girls' bathroom, but it was locked. Looking around, she could only see the exit door that led outside. After making sure no one was around, she made a mad dash through the door. Kimberly stood outside and found part of skirt caught in the door. She tried to open the door, but it was locked from the outside. "I can't stand outside like this!" Grabbing the skirt, she yanked it hard and the rest of the skirt ripped off the top half of her dress. It slides off her body and landed on the ground. The doors swung open and she hide behind a bush. She began to shiver as she pulled her eyes against her chest and started to cry.

"Please, don't cry, Beautiful," Tommy whispered as he moved closer to her. "Everything will be okay."

"Tommy, how did you get out here?" she gasped as he put his arms around her. Tommy appeared like he wasn't having a good time either. It appeared as if he had a cake dropped on him and him one side of his pants was almost ripped out. He took off his jacket and gave it to Kimberly to put on. "Shouldn't you be in there having a good time?"

"I came out here to find you," Tommy explained as he pulled her closer to him. "Why don't we get cleaned up and we go to my house? I could get out my dad's radio and we could dance outside on the gazebo. We could order a pizza and we could camp out in the living room tonight."

"I love the idea."


"I hope they are having a good time," Caroline started as Jan turned on the TV. "Kimberly has been talking about this for weeks."

The door opened and both mothers noticed their children were soaked in punch. Kimberly was holding the remains of her dress and was wearing Tommy's jacket. "What happened to you?!" Jan gasped as she is watching Kimberly and Tommy walk in.

"That's an interesting story," Kimberly blushed as she kicked off her pink high heeled shoes. "Bulk and Sophia did a free spin. The table flipped up and two punch bowls went flying. One of the bowls soaked me and Tommy. The other bowl soaked Ms. Smiley. My skirt got stepped on and a door got shut on it. And I had to yank it off."

"My tailored suit wasn't made well and seams ripped out," Tommy finished. "Someone hit another table and a cake went flying in the air and I got hit by it. So, we just decided to come home and get cleaned up. I thought we'd get my dad's radio and we could dance outside on the gazebo. Then we plan to order a pizza and camp out in the living room."

"That sounds like a great plan," Jan smiled as she got up from the couch and walked over to the window. "It's supposed to rain and they are calling for thunder storms."

Just then they heard a clap of thunder and the heavy rain started to come down hard. "Guess, we can forget about going outside on the gazebo," Tommy said sadly. "We can still get my radio and dance in the living room."

"Tommy, your dad's radio gave out a week ago," Jan revealed. "He has to buy another one."

"Guess that idea goes up in flames too," Tommy sighed.

"I read in the newspaper that the Carnival is coming to town tomorrow," Caroline stated as she showed Tommy the newspaper article.

"Want to go to the Carnival?" Tommy questioned as he looked at the paper. "We could invite the rest of our friends to go with us."

"I love the idea," Kimberly smiled has Tommy showed her the paper.

"You can even invite them to stay the night," Jan stated.


"It was only a dream," Tommy told himself as he woke up. He was soaked in sweat and was shivering. Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and Billy were sound asleep in their sleeping bags. When he sat up he noticed a pink sleeping bag was touching his green sleeping bag. His eyes narrowed when he realized that Kimberly's head was resting next to his and her arm was stretched out across his chest. Was it possible that she sensed that he wasn't sleeping well? The best he remembered when they all went to sleep, she was lying next to him but not that close. Or was it possible that she was having trouble sleeping for some reason? He slowly removed Kimberly's arm and laid it down on the ground. Then he slowly slipped out of his sleeping bag and quietly walked upstairs to his room. After he grabbed some clean clothes, he walked into the bathroom.

Tommy placed his clothes in sunbeam portable closet and striped down grabbing a bath sponge, shampoo, shower gel. He slowly stepped into the tub and pulled the curtain shut. Tommy turned on the warm water high and let it fall over his head in rain droplets. Closing his eyes, he moved into spray as it soaked into his skin. Working on squeezing out a drop of lavender shower gel, he started to rub it into his sponge. In steady smooth, steady strokes he began to wash off.

As he stood under the lukewarm water down pour, it trickled down his side. His mind was fading into dullness and everything else was just a hazy mirage. The feeling of the steaming water was calming him; taking his mind of off things. It was like he was standing under a never-ending water fall as he was soaping up his scalp with dove shampoo.

Meanwhile, Kimberly woke up with her chest rose and fell with rapid breaths and her face was all sweaty. "It was only a dream," she reminded herself as she sat up and looked all around. Rocky, Adam, Aisha, and Billy were still sound asleep. Tommy's sleeping bag was empty. "Oh, no!" Was it possible that he had the dream again? He talked about it a lot and said when he had it, he always watched TV in his room until he fell asleep again.

Kimberly got out of her sleeping bag and began to shiver. Her form fitting pink night gown was soaked with sweat. She opened her duffle and got out a pink tee shirt and a pale pink satin tracksuit with red stripes going down the sleeves and pant legs. "I'll go take a quick shower. I know Jan and James won't care," she told herself. "Then I'll go by Tommy's room."


The very minute Tommy turned the shower off, the curtain started rip back and he quickly grabbed a towel on the shower rack and wrapped it around him. Kimberly stood there in front of him with a look of terror on her face. "Kim! What are you doing here?" Tommy asked as he stepped out of the tub. "Why are your pajamas soaked?"

"I got too hot," she lied. "I sweat a lot in my sleep."

He noticed her eyes were puffy and red and her face was stained in tear marks. "Kim, I think there is more to the story? Did you have a bad dream or something?" he corrected as his concerned eyes locked on to her face. "Please tell me what's wrong."

"It's just stress," she lied while he wrapped his arms around her. "I had dream about being embarrassed at the dance."

"Why don't you get a shower?" he suggested as he stepped out of the tub and grabbed his pajamas. "I'll go to my room and get dressed and then I'll ask my mom if you can borrow one of her night gowns. I'll tell her that you woke up soaked sweating from having a nightmare about what happened at the dance."

"What if she asks you why you're up?" Kimberly asked as she stepped into the tub and quickly pulled the shower curtain shut.

"I'll her that you woke me and told me you were going to take shower and I am going to sit outside the door to make sure you don't fall," he assured her. "I promise I won't tell her about this moment because I know it's just as embarrassing for you as it is for me. We'll forget this happened."


Kimberly finished her shower, got dressed and stepped outside. Jan was sitting outside the door to next to Tommy. "I decided to sit up too," she explained. "Were you feeling sick or anything? Can I get you anything?"

"No, I am fine," Kimberly lied while letting out a yawn.

"If you're sure, I'm going back to bed," Jan replied as she headed back to her room.

Jan walked back into her bedroom leaving Kimberly and Tommy alone. They walked back down stairs and Kimberly put her pink outfit back in her duffle. She watched as Tommy slide back into his sleeping bag and moved her sleeping bag closer to his. "The real reason I woke up sweating was because I had dream about Rita and Zedd," Kimberly whispered. "I fear that they want me for some reason."

"Kim, they won't take you," Tommy assured her. He wrapped his arms around her frail tiny body and held her close. "They'd have to go through me. I love you too much to allow that to happen."

"What if they did take me?" she fretted as she put her arms around the neck. "You won't have you powers as the green ranger forever.'

"I'd still protect you and they'd have to take me with you. The others would come for us."

"What if Zedd tries to pull at stunt at the carnival?"

"We'll have our morphers and we'll be okay. Zedd won't stand a chance against all of us."

"If we spilt up tomorrow and go on different rides, can I stay with you?"

"Of course," he promised her. Tommy held her tighter and started to stroke her hair. "I promise you we'll have a good time tomorrow and nothing will happen."

She gave him a peck on the cheek. "I love you," she purred while drifting off to sleep. "Good night."

"I love you too," he yawned as he feels asleep. "Good night."


Zedd stood at his balcony spying on the rangers. Rita was standing next to him looking through her telescope. "Let's take Kimberly's nightmare to our advantage," Zedd smirked. "Tomorrow is when Tommy will lose his powers."

"I love the idea," Rita smiled back and she took hold of his hand. "We'll send down putties to pose as clowns. When the time is right we'll chase everybody out of the carnival. Then we'll deal with the yellow, black, red, and blue rangers first. Once we are down with them we'll deal with Tommy and Kimberly."


Will Tommy be able to protect Kimberly with what little powers he has left or will he have to take on Rita and Zedd without his powers? Will Alpha and Zordon see he is worthy to be the white ranger?
