Even though the rangers were on Christmas break things were not quiet and peaceful. They learned about the Zeo crystal which was a crystal that could give them greater powers than they ever had before. But, someone had to go and get it. Tommy volunteered to go and get the crystal that was down underneath Zedd and Rita's palace. It was a struggle since he had to sneak through Rita and Zedd's palace once again. But, he had flash backs of his green ranger days and illusions of Rita and Zedd trying to play tricks on his mind. However, he could get the crystal.

But, the rangers had to break the crystal into five different parts and scatter it all around the world. To make matters worse, Rita's father Master Vile, reversed time and the rangers were turned back into children. Billy created a device that could turn them back to their correct age. But, it took all their power coins to power up the device. Billy tested it on himself and it worked. Before he uses it on anyone else, Goldar and Rita's brother Rito destroyed the device. So, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Tommy, and Kimberly each had to go on a Zeo quest. All of them had to bring back their part of the crystal. While Aisha was on her quest, she met a girl named Tanya. Aisha decided to stay in Africa to help the animals and Tanya returned with the crystal.

They were restored to their proper age. But, the excitement didn't last long because Goldar and Rito blew up the command center. All the rangers were teleported out of the command center. They watched in terror as they watched their command center blow up. After the explosion, they could find the Zeo crystal and it was all there. They were brought down into the basement of the command center as they began to walk around until they came to a slimy vertex.

"Rangers please step through the vertex," called a familiar voice. It was Alpha, and he was okay. But, what about Zordon?

"Please tell me that I'm just seeing slime," Kimberly prayed as she looked down at her new pink velour tracksuit. She watched Tommy stretch his hand out and reach through the vertex.

"It isn't slimy, it's just feels cold," Tommy said as he pulled his hand out of the vertex and there wasn't any slime on the vertex.

"Rangers, please step through the vertex," Alpha repeated.

Rocky, Adam, Tanya, Kimberly, and Billy watched Tommy walk through the vertex. Kimberly and Tanya locked hands and walked through the vertex. Rocky, Adam, and Billy followed.


All the rangers were relieved to find Alpha and Zordon were okay. They learned of a new enemy known as the machine empire and they had over thrown Rita and Zedd. There was another surprise. Billy stepped down as a ranger to help Alpha and Zordon in the command center, so Tanya could be a power ranger.

"The Zeo Crystal will give you powers beyond your imagination," Zordon explained. "Kimberly, you are now Zeo ranger 1 pink. Tanya, you are Zeo ranger 2 yellow. The sub Zeo crystal has given the rest of you new colors."

Billy watched as the Zeo crystals, shined above each ranger. He knew Rocky would be a great successor, but it felt weird for him to see someone else in the color that he wore for the past three years.

"Rocky, you are Zeo ranger 3 blue, Adam, you will now be Zeo ranger 4 green, and finally Tommy, you are Zeo ranger 5 red," Zordon finished.


Tommy looked down at his journal as he was continuing to write about his ranger days. It seemed like it was only yesterday that he was a ranger. And six months ago, he had just transferred his powers on TJ Johnson. "What are you writing?" He looked up and saw his wife walk in and take a seat next to him. "You've been quiet all morning."

"Oh, I'm just writing about our ranger days," Tommy began laying his hand on his wife's hand. "I'm up to the point to where we got our Zeo Ranger powers. Kim, it feels strange not being a ranger anymore. It was a big part of our life nearly four years."

She watched as he laid his pen down. "Why'd you quit writing," Kimberly questioned as she felt him wrap an arm around him. "You told me that when you got this journal, you were going to fill up every page. "

"It was part of your life too," he informed her as he handed her the pen. "I just thought that you should in the journal too. There's so much to write about."

"What about the time when I got that letter from Florida?" Kimberly gasped as she picked up the pen.


October 1st, 1996

It was a beautiful October day as Tommy walked into the youth center. He smiled as he watched Kimberly practicing on the balance beam. Ernie walked into the room with an envelope in his hand. "Kimberly, you have a letter from Chris Masters," Ernie said as he watched Kimberly get off the balance beam and walk over to him. She took the envelope out of Ernie's hand and opened it.

"Kim, what does he want?" Tommy hissed as she took a seat next to him. "You haven't had anything to do with him in years."

"Tommy, I think you need to see this," Kimberly said handing him the letter.

Dear Kimberly,

I know we haven't talked in a while, but I was wondering do you want to date me again? Kat and I broke up and she is dating someone else. I thought Kat loved me, but I guess I was wrong. Then I realized that when we are dating in 7th grade, you were always kind, and you were a great friend. But, I was stupid. I wasn't there for you when your parents divorced and told you as soon as your parents separated that everyone's parent's divorced and to get over it. And I was dumb enough to break up with you. I never realized how hard you were taking the divorce. I accused you of cheating on me when I saw Tommy Oliver hugging you. I should've known he would've done that since he's been your best friend since you were babies. Kimberly, will you please consider dating me again? I know you're dating Tommy. But, I figure that you've decided to stay friends instead of lovers. Please write me back soon with an answer.

Love,

Chris

"I need time to think," Kimberly burst out as she got up from the table. "I'm going to change and go for a walk."

Tommy watched as her watched her leave the youth center. "I think I'm going to go join her," he quickly said as he got up from his seat. Tommy raced to the locker room, just before Kimberly reached the door. "Beautiful, wait up!"

She turned around and faced him. "Tommy, it isn't what you think," Kimberly started looking up at the boy she truly loved. "I don't want Chris. I told him that when he came by my house the other day-"

"-why didn't you tell me he came by?" Tommy chocked shaking his head in disbelief. "I thought that you were going to be at gymnastics tryouts-"

"I was," she began gazing into his chocolate eyes while her body began to shake. "But, I didn't go. I talked to him and told him that I didn't want him-"

"-because you were engaged to me," he finished. Kimberly's mouth dropped in disbelief as soon as he finished her sentence. "I came by your house to take you to gymnastics tryouts. But, your mom told me you had something important to do instead. I stayed in the kitchen and heard you pour your heart out about me to Chris."

"Why didn't you tell me that you were there?"

"I know Chris hates me and I knew that Chris would-"

"-think that I called you over to my house. He accused me of calling you because I knew five minutes ahead of time that he was going to be there."


"Why'd you stop writing?" Tommy questioned when Kimberly put down the pen. "There's more to the story."

She picked up the journal and carried it over to their bed and stretched out. "Do you really want me to write out the letter that I wrote to Chris?" she questioned.

"Why don't you just write about what happened?" Tommy suggested. He got up from the desk and sat down on the bed next to her. "You still have to write about that dinner you prepared for me in the youth center. Chris was showed up in the middle of it and he stormed out when you showed him the ring on your finger."

"True," she agreed feeling Tommy snuggle against her. "Then we must write about Jason becoming the gold ranger, you are being under the spell and thought we were your enemy. I was the one who broke the spell."

"I'll definitely write that down," he smiled giving her a kiss. "Then we have to write about the turbo powers."

"And we must write about our wedding," Kimberly said picking up the pen again. She turned the page and realized that the journal was full. "Tommy, I think we're going to need to buy another journal."

They got up the bed and headed out of their dorm room. "Why don't we buy two?" Tommy suggested as they walked out of the room. "We still have a lot to write about. And I don't want to miss any of our important moments."
