Summary: We all know the Legacy of Tommy Oliver. But, what if Kimberly never left the team and became part of this legacy? Just as Rita and Zedd disappear, Tommy and Kimberly learn that their lives as power rangers are far from over.


It's always a honor when you get to have your childhood dream come true. Many dream of becoming movie stars. In cases like that you have to go audition several times and if you are lucky you may get the part. It is the same way with Pan Global Games. Tommy had heard Kimberly talk about how she wanted to compete in the Pan Global Games. He was sure she would have to compete in several competitions to prove she was one of the best. But, it wouldn't stop there. She may be the best in Angel Grove, but he was postive that she would have to go to try outs because there were several young girls who had the same dream. And as much as he hated to think it, there were girls who were more skilled than her.

But, one thing didn't make sense. The same time she was training for a gymnastics tournament, a strange man shows up claiming he is a gymnastics coach. Tommy still couldn't get the first encounter with Coach Schmidt out of his head. He walked into the youth center while Kimberly was practicing. He immediately took an interest in her. As soon as Kimberly saw him she got all excited because she had always dreamed of meeting Gunther Schmidt. He asked if she had a coach. As soon as she said no, he offered to train her. Coach Schmidt was training her really hard and she was so exhausted and ended up in the hospital. And here comes the one thing Tommy couldn't get out of his head. When she won the gymnastics competition he asked her to move to Florida to start training for the Pan Global Games.

"Kimberly, can we talk?" Tommy asked.

"Sure," Kimberly answered. She lead him outside and they took a seat on the bench. "Do you want to talk to me about to Pan Global Games?"

"Yes," Tommy answered nervously as he took hold of her hand. "I want you to know that I have always been very proud of you and everything you have accomplished. But, I don't feel right about Coach Schmidt. I don't want you to talk you out of your life long dream. But, I can't sit back and let you go with someone we know nothing about. You've already ended in up in the hospital once from being over trained. The next time, it could be much worse."

"Tommy, I have been thinking about the same thing," Kimberly confessed. "I called Aisha's friend Shawna who was competing in the Pan Global Games. I wanted to know more about Coach Schmidt. She told me that he is bad news. He weighs them everyday and tells them to cut back on calories. Several girls have developed eating disorders. Shawna is recovering from being bulimia. A lot of the other girls have developed anorexia."

"It makes me feel better knowing that you have looked into this guy before making you decision," Tommy replied. "I don't want this to hold you back from doing gymnastics. You are a very talented gymnast and you are material for the Pan Global Games-"

"-Tommy, things change over time," Kimberly interrupted as she gazed into his chocolate eyes. "I still want to do gymnastics. And maybe someday compete in the Pan Global Games. But, for now, I need to stand by my teammates. And then when I met you. I knew I met the person that I belong with. I want to go to college and make a life for myself."

"Our plan is working perfectly," Zedd said.

Tommy and Kimberly looked around the corner. And Zedd was talking to Coach Schmidt.

"I asked Kimberly if she was coming to Florida and she said she need time to think about it," Coach Schmidt explained. "But, I am going to cast a spell over her. I have ordered roses and they are on their way to the youth center. I told them they were. from her mom. I sprayed a perfume on them. Once she smells them, she will do whatever I say."

"Very good, I have learned some interesting news that will help aide us against the power rangers in the future-"

"-is it about Tommy Oliver?" Coach Schmidt interrupted.

"Yes, you fool!" Zedd yelled slapping Coach Schmidt across the face. "It also involves Kimberly too. That is why I asked you to help me wth the power rangers. Tommy and Kimberly hold the key in order to defeat me."

"Don't worry, once I get Kimberly in Florida, I am going to have her write a break up letter to Tommy," Coach Schmidt assured him.

"You, better not fail me," Zedd warned as they disappeared into a portal.

"I can't believe Coach Schmidt is working for Zedd," Tommy gasped talking hold of Kimberly's hand. "Have you gotten any roses yet?"

"No," Kimberly answered as they saw a delivery guy going inside with a bouquet of pink roses.

"Excuse me, sir," Tommy said as he walked over to the delivery guy. "Who are those roses for?"

"Kimberly Hart," answered the delivery guy. "I had her uncle come in and say her mom was in Paris. She was proud of her daughter for winning the gymnastics competition and asked him to order her roses."

"If you give them to me, I will give them to her," Tommy lied trying to keep a straight face.

"Thank you," answered the delivery guy, as he handed Tommy the roses. "Don't tell Kimberly I said this. Her uncle is a very rude man. He had to look at all the roses and complained that we didn't have any pink ones."

Tommy waited for the delivery guy to get back in truck, before he threw them into the trash can. Coach Schmidt walked out of the youth center and saw Tommy and Kimberly talking.

"So, Kimberly, have you made up your mind?" Coach Schmidt asked.

"Yes," Kimberly answered as she squeezed Tommy's hand. "I have thought good and hard about it. I'm not going."

"HOW COULD YOU BE SO STUPID!?" Coach Schmidt yelled as the garbage man came and picked up the grabage. The garbage man put the empty trash can on the ground and Coach Schmidt picked it up. "WHY DID YOU DECIDE NOT TO GO?"

"Several reasons," Kimberly answered. "I want to finish high school and go to college. I love gymnastics. But, I don't want it to be my whole life. I found true love and I don't want to leave Tommy. I talk to one of the girls that you used to train and we discussed what happened happened when you over trained me. She told me you weigh the girls everyday and a lot of them have developed eating disorders. I can't put gymnastics before my well being."

"You will be sorry!" Coach Schmidt yelled as he threw the trash can at them.

Tommy and Kimberly quickly got out of the way. Coach Schmidt came running at Tommy and he jumped up and kicked Coach Schmidt in chest. Kimberly came charging at him from behind and pushed him down to the pavement. Loud sirens could be heard from a block away. "I'm out of here," Coach Schmidt gasped as Tommy and Kimberly pinned him down. "Please, let me go. I can't go to jail. I have been running from the police for months."

Lt. Stone came running over to where Tommy and Kimberly were. Bulk and Skull were right behind him. "Gunther Schmidt, I got a call from my cousin," Lt. Stone started. "He recognized you as the gymnastics coach who over trainned his granddaughter-"

"-the florist or the garbage man," interrupted Coach Schmidt. Lt.Stone put hand cuffs on him and got him off the ground.

"It was was the florist," revealed Lt. Stone. "When you order flowers you always claim to be the athletes uncle. But, that's not the point. You are wanted for over training girls, sexual harassment, identity theift, spying around young girls, and putting people in danger."

"Kimberly Hart and Tommy Oliver, you have not seen the last of me," Coach Schmidt warned, as Lt. Stone escorted him to the police car. "You haven't seen the last of me. You will see me again and next time you won't be so lucky."
