A/N: Still don't own Power Rangers, but excited as all get out over the reboot movie! Probably the last chapter, sorry if you wanted a more in-depth story!

The next two weeks flew by in a blur for both Kim and agonized on in a dead crawl for Tommy.

Kim had to make her way back to Florida, with a little morphenomenal help from Zordon and sort everything out. She talked to her coach. She talked with her teammates. With her recent behavior, no one was surprised that she was simply burned-out and homesick. They had all noticed that she wasn't doing so well, so it didn't shock anyone when her dorm room was packed up.

Kim had just one person left to tell: her mother. It had been such a hard sell to get her to agree to go to Florida in the first place. She could still hear her mother's voice echoing across the Atlantic, "Angel Grove is one thing, your whole life is there, but Florida? Without me? I just don't know, honey." "How many other girls has this coach promised this opportunity to?" "But what about school? Your friends? Tommy?" Yes, her mother who had been lukewarm about their relationship since she realized it was more than just a high school fling (shouldn't you date around in high school? See want kind of man you want to be with?) had even tried to bring up Tommy as a reason she shouldn't move.

Truth be told, that tactic had almost worked.

After an agonizing conversation about moving back to Angel Grove and being able to handle the last few months of high school, and countless assurances that she wasn't throwing away a dream for Tommy (well that switch flipped drastically), her mother assented. Kimberly Hart was officially moving back to Angel Grove.

Meanwhile, Tommy was supposed to keep this a secret until she really moved back. They had agreed that it would be better to keep from saying something until it was all for sure. Zordon knew, of course, and they realized that she would not be joining the Ranger team, but she could always be the one working on a solution in the Command Center while everyone else did damage control if the situation warranted. Billy would enjoy having someone to work with.

Keeping his mouth shut was absolute torment. Especially since he had to find a way to explain what had happened to Rocky, Adam, Tanya, and Kat without really saying what they planned to do. Kat seemed to be taking it the hardest of all. Tommy hadn't wanted to believe Kim about Kat. He had wanted to brush it off as jealousy acquired from a distance, but Kat's mood when he told everyone that they had worked it out and would continue to work it out proved him false. Why did girls always have to be so smart about what other girls wanted?

He also had the added stress of monsters attacking every other day. He had to stay close to all of his teammates just like he normally would, but now he seemed to be hyper-aware of Kat's proximity to him. He made sure that there was always someone between them.

Finally, the day that Kim was moving back arrived. She had shipped all of her things two days prior and called him from the airport before she boarded that plane. She was almost home! Tommy was in the juice bar with the entire group when Kim entered. He had just seen her less than 14 days ago, but her hair, her smile, her legs, and finally her voice captivated him. This gorgeous, funny, bright, dedicated woman could never leave him. He would certainly fall apart.

No one else had noticed her entrance. Of course, they weren't staring at the entrance as unobtrusively as possible waiting for her. Tommy jumped up and all but ran to the doorway to greet her. She dropped the carry-one she'd been grasping and enveloped him in a hug as well. Generally, they weren't a couple that broadcasted a lot of PDA, but this was a special occasion. Tommy picked up her and spun her around before dipping her into low kiss. It clearly shocked his friends as they watched from the nearby table.

Soon enough, they unfroze and rushed to greet her. To Tommy's amazement, even Kat seemed genuinely excited to see her predecessor. It seemed like this could all work out.

The group all settled down and soon everyone was talking over each other about what to do

It was a thoroughly enjoyable afternoon. Kim, however, couldn't help but notice the looks that Kat was giving her and Tommy. Tommy, undoubtedly hadn't noticed. He seemed to be absolutely enraptured by having her by her side again. Why had she ever wanted to leave?

As everyone gradually wandered home, the juice bar's population decreased until only Tommy, Kat, Kim, and Rocky remained. Kim had a sudden idea. "Hey, Handsome, I've missed seeing you spar. Care to show me if Rocky can still kick your butt on the mat?" She gave him a devilish smile, followed quickly by a giggle. The giggle quickly morphed in to a full on laugh as he pulled her onto his lap and began to tickle her.

"Oh, you think that will work, huh? If you wanted to see me work out, you could just say so. You don't have to say a completely false statement to goad me into it." Rocky faked being offended for a moment before getting up to go warm up, throwing a casual, "you're on." Over his shoulder.

As the boys stretched, Kim moved closer to Kat, so they could talk quietly. "It's great to have you back, Kim." The tall blonde threw an arm around Kim's shoulders. Kat was a truly nice girl. It was what made Kim so sure she could be a reliable Pink.

Kim returned the smile, but knew she had to bring up a hard conversation, "Kat, as much as I love being back, I think you and I need to clear the air."

Kat withdrew her arm and her smile seemed to crash off of her face. "No, Kim, it's all right. I was acting foolishly. We're good. Really." Kat's tone seemed to convey that this conversation was the last one in the world that she wanted to have.

Kim reached out a hand and placed it gently over Kat's. "It's okay. You saw Tommy hurting and missing me. You know he's a sweet guy, who any girl would be lucky to have, and you acted in a way that, although it made me insanely jealous and upset, I understand it." Kim sighed, Tommy had kept the specifics of what had happened to her and how the letter came to be written to himself. "In fact, my jealousy over what I saw through pictures of you and Tommy is what prompted all of these issues. I saw how close the two of you were in every photo and I got scared that I was losing him. I felt heartbroken and in my weakness, Rita tried to trick me. Tommy saved me. He always finds a way to save me."

Kat's eyes shone with tears that she didn't want to fall. It was obvious to Kim, and anyone else if they cared to look that she was sorry for what she almost accomplished, but also that she really cared for Tommy. Kim gave her hand a gentle squeeze. "If you care to look, Kat, I think I see someone who is always read to save you." Kat's startled expression made it clear to Kimberly that she had indeed been the only one to notice Rocky's lingering gazes toward Kat all night. To Kim, there was no doubt why Rocky was staying as long as Kat and why he was so quick to spar with Tommy. "Rocky's a great guy, maybe you should give him a chance."

At that, Kim stood up and went down to the mats to congratulate Tommy and offer Rocky a helping hand to his feet. Giving the new Blue a quick hug goodbye and taking Tommy's hand, Kimberly set off for the doorway. She paused to pick up her bag, gave Kat a pointed look and almost imperceptibly tipped her head toward the aforementioned Ranger before ducking out of the youth center with Tommy.

Kat looked up at Rocky walking towards the table where he'd left both her and his school bag.

Had his smile always been so bright?
