Kimberly was studying to be a PE teacher and Tommy was studying to be a science teacher. Kimberly had all of her basic classes out of the way, since she took all AP classes in high school. So, she had one year of college out of the way. Kimberly was taking all types of physical education classes and health classes. Tommy was having to take all of his basic classes. Plus, he was now the red Zeo ranger since Jason didn't want to be a ranger anymore.

One day, Kimberly ran into a girl a on campus named Katy Hart. She was stunned to find out that Katy was her older sister by three years. Katy knew about Kimberly because they had same father and she had seen pictures of her. And she had seen Kimberly on TV for winning gymnastic competitions growing up. However, Kimberly had no idea that her father had another child, while he was still married to Caroline. She learned that her father left Caroline to go back to Katy's mother. Her parents divorced in when she was in sixth grade. Katy was wild growing up and got pregnant during her freshman year. During her Sophomore year, she had her daughter Maya. Over the last few years, Maya had seen Kimberly in pictures, in the paper or on TV in gymnastics competitions. Maya had dreamed about meeting Kimberly her whole life.

"Katy, if you knew about me, why didn't you try to contact me?" asked Kimberly.

"I wanted to," explained Katy. "But our father wouldn't let me. He didn't want you or Caroline to know that he had an affair. Your step mother didn't want me to see you either. He was seeing my mother, while he was still married to Caroline."

"That explains why he was gone all the time," gasped Kimberly.

"He talked about you," added Katy. "He really did. After I had Maya, I got kicked out and I had to move in with a friend. Our father and my step mother doesn't want to have anything to do with me and Maya."

"What happened to her father?" asked Kimberly.

"We were never married," explained Katy. "His name was Kermit Clutterbucket. I got an EPO against him. He was a wanted criminal in California and he was wanted in other states. Kermit uses another identity too."

"What is that?" questioned Kimberly.

"Gunther Schmidt," answered Katy. "Kermit is a professional coach and coaches gymnastics. Kermit takes advantage of other people. Several girls on his gymnastics team have got an eating disorder known as anorexia. He has told them that they are fat, ugly, and over weight. And he made them train more than they needed to. Several of them have died. He has also beat up other people and even taken people's lives, but locking them away without food and water for weeks."

"He tried to do that do me, but I had Tommy," gasped Kimberly.

"Who is Tommy?" asked Katy.

"My spouse," revealed Kimberly. "We dated for two and a half years and were engaged for a few months. We got married back in February, when I got accepted to go the Pan Global Games. Tommy thought there was something wrong about Coach Schmidt and he didn't trust him. On my last day in Florida, he locked me in a locker room and took everything out of my locker. But, Tommy was in the locker room and had recorded everything that Coach Schmidt said to me and threatened to do."

"How was Tommy able to do that?" asked Katy.

"He went to see me during my lunch period and I wasn't in the cafeteria," explained Kimberly. "Then he didn't see Coach Schmidt in the cafeteria and Tommy knew he had cafeteria duty. He went by his office and saw me walk into his room. That's how Tommy was able to successfully use his tape recorder and get everything that he needed. Tommy called the police and they arrested Kermit. Then Tommy and I came back to Angel Grove."

"Tommy sounds like he is wonderful person," smiled Katy.

"He is," answered Kimberly. "I couldn't ask for a better spouse."

"Would he accept Maya?" questioned Katy.

"Of course he would," reassured Kimberly. "I'd love to meet Maya. How old is she?"

"She'll be five on January 16th, " answered Katy. "She goes to preschool while I'm at college. I'm studying to be an actress. So, is your friend Trini Kwan. I've heard a lot about you from her. Maya will so thrilled to learn that she'll finally meet you. What about Saturday afternoon? We could meet at the youth any plans?"

"No, we don't have any plans," stated Kimberly. "We'll see you then."

Saturday afternoon

Tommy and Kimberly waited at the youth center. Both of them were excited about getting to meet Maya. A few minutes later, Katy walked in with a small little girl. The little girl was wearing jeans and a yellow tee shirt. She had blond wavy shoulder length hair and long bangs; and she looked like Katy. Katy and the little girl walked over to them.

"Is this Maya?" asked Kimberly.

"Yes, this is Maya," smiled Katy. "Maya, this is my sister Kimberly Oliver."

Maya looked to be very backward around Kimberly and Tommy.

"Maya is shy with people she doesn't know," explained Katy. "She was so excited when she found out that she was going to meet you today. "

"Can I hold her?" asked Kimberly.

"Maya can your Aunt Kimberly hold you?" asked Katy.

"Yes," Maya answered nervously.

Katy lifted Maya up and handed her to Kimberly. Maya sat in Kimberly's lap. Katy took a seat next to Tommy.

"Maya, this is your Uncle Tommy," stated Kimberly.

"Mom, I thought you said Kimberly's last name was Hart," stated Maya. "Why is her last name Oliver?"

"Maya, her last name was Hart," explained Katy. "She dated Tommy all through high school and they recently got married. When she got married she became an Oliver. Since she's married to Tommy, he's now your uncle."

"Is he going to stay with Aunt Kimberly?" asked Maya. "And are they going to cut us out of their life too?"

"I'm sorry," apologized Katy. "Maya's father left us last year and he's now remarried. He has another family. Kermit doesn't have anything to do with her, just like my parents don't."

"We're not going to cut you out of our life," promised Kimberly. "Are you in school yet?"

"I'm in preschool," answered Maya.

"Where do you go to school at?" asked Kimberly.

"In Reefside," answered Maya. "It's not far from here."

"We live in Reefside," said Katy. "I work at the Cyber Space Café. I'm working full time and going to school part time. It has a day care that Maya can stay at when she's not in school. I'm a junior in college. I graduate next fall."

"I'm ahead since I took all AP classes in high school," explained Kimberly. "Tommy and I are taking bi-term classes and are ahead of the people in our classes. I'm going to be a PE teacher."

"Mom, can we see Kimberly and Tommy again?" interrupted Maya. "I really like them."

"How about next week end?" asked Kimberly. "We can come to Reefside next time."

"Sounds great," smiled Katy.

Spring 1997

Tommy and Kimberly continued to see Maya on a regular basis. Kimberly formed a really close relationship with Maya and she grew to love Maya very much. Tommy's days as a ranger ended, when the Zeo rangers created the Turbo powers. He didn't take the powers as the red ranger because he wasn't getting to spend much time with Kimberly due to his ranger duties and attending college. Kimberly and Tommy ended up leaving Angel Grove and moving to Reefside. They enrolled in Reefside University. When they moved to Reefside, Tommy learned he had a brother named David Matthews. David had a five year old daughter named Riley. She had long dark brown hair and was a month older than Maya. David's wife left him, when Riley was born. And he had the responsibility of raising Riley. David was attending college to become an actor and started dating Katy.

Riley and Maya formed a really close relationship and they both started school at Reefside Elementary in the fall of 1997. Kimberly and Tommy were ahead of their class since they were taking summer classes and bi-term classes. They were scheduled to graduate in the spring of 1998.
