Author's note: This is story number three in my Season To Remember series. As always, I've kept some of you waiting forever for me to finally start this. This season will start a lot earlier than the previous ones did.

Crusaders, you know who you are, this one is for you so I hope you enjoy it especially you MommyD cause you write this couple like no one else can so I hope I can write them half as well as you do.

Jason Scott packed his things as he prepared to leave Angel Grove for a second time. He had returned home from the Peace Conference in Switzerland to assist the Zeo Rangers by taking command of the Gold Ranger powers but those powers had now been returned to their rightful owner. After losing those powers, Jason had spent the summer in the company of Emily Smith but watching from the sidelines as his friends continued to protect the Earth had proved too hard for him so he had decided to leave Angel Grove.

"So are you all packed?" a voice asked and Jason looked up to see his girlfriend of two months standing in the doorway.

"Just about, I didn't think I'd see you until the morning," he replied as she walked into the room and sat down on the edge of the bed.

"I guess I just wanted a little more time with you," she told him.

"It's only for a couple of weeks and I'll be back before you know it, you could still change your mind and come with me," he said as he sat down beside her.

"You know I would if I could but my parents have this whole family reunion thing planned and missing it is not an option," she replied.

"Well maybe I can talk Kimberly into coming home with me for a visit, I'd really like for the two of you to meet," Jason told her.

"I'd like to meet her too, I feel like I already know her, you talk about her so much," Emily responded.

"She's been my best friend since we were kids and I've really missed her, I can't wait to see the look on her face when I get to Florida," Jason replied.

"So did you ever get around to telling the others about this trip?" she questioned.

"No, I wanted to but I didn't want to open old wounds, it took Tommy a long time to get over her and he's so happy with Kat now that I didn't want to stir things up since I'll probably be meeting Kim's new boyfriend, I almost feel like meeting him will be betraying Tommy in some way especially if he's a great guy which I'm sure he is because Kim would never get involved with someone who wasn't," Jason informed her.

"Great so you're leaving me with the wonderful task of telling them after your gone," Emily responded.

"You don't have to tell them anything, just say that I needed some time to sort some stuff out but that I didn't tell you where I'd be, trust me they'll understand," Jason told her.

Jason arrived in the Florida airport and headed for the baggage claim area. He couldn't believe that he was actually there and would soon be reunited with Kimberly. He pulled out a piece of paper from his pocket on which the directions to her apartment were written and after getting his bags he walked outside to hail a cab.

Kimberly Hart was just returning home from a grueling day of practice. The Pan Global Games were a week away and she was as ready as she would ever be. She couldn't believe it, after all these years her dream of being in that competition was finally coming true. She headed towards the bathroom to take a shower when she heard her doorbell ring.

"Geez Mandy, don't tell me you locked yourself out again," she said as she swung open the door expecting to see her roommate but instead was shocked by who she saw.

"Hey Pinky, did ya miss me?" Jason asked as a huge grin appeared on Kim's face.

"Jason, I can't believe it!" she exclaimed as she gave him a hug.

"So I take it that means you're happy to see me," he replied.

"Are you kidding, Rex, I've missed you so much," she said giving him another hug.

"Are you gonna invite me in, cause these bags are kinda heavy," he told her once she finally let go.

"Of course, come on in, this is so amazing why didn't you tell me you were coming," she said once they sat down on the couch.

"I wanted to surprise you," he replied.

"Well, this is the best surprise I've had in a long time, you have no idea what your being here means to me," she said with a smile.

"Man, I have really missed that smile of yours," Jason chuckled.

"So tell me what's going on in Angel Grove, like what are you doing here because the last I heard from Trini, you had left Switzerland and returned home to be a ranger again, which by the way I can't believe you didn't tell me yourself," she said.

"Yeah, Tommy and the others needed someone to temporarily take over for Trey of Triforia as the Gold Ranger but the powers started having a negative effect on me so I had to give them back to Trey, it was fun while it lasted though and I'm sorry for not calling you I guess I just got wrapped up in everything that was happening, if it makes you feel any better I haven't exactly been keeping in touch with Zack or Trini either," Jason told her.

"I suppose I should forgive you I mean you did travel all this way to see me but I'm really sorry you had to give up your powers, I know how hard it was for you to give up being a Ranger the first time so I can't imagine what it's been like this time," Kim replied.

"It's hard, I mean I really started to remember how much I loved being a Ranger and having it taken away again is like losing a part of myself, that's partly why I decided to just get away for awhile and I realized that the Pan Global games where coming up so I thought what better place to be than supporting my oldest and best friend," Jason explained.

"I couldn't ask for a better support system, I'm really glad you'll be there," Kim told him.

"I hope your couch is available because this was a spur of the moment thing and I didn't really plan ahead," he said.

"Are you kidding, I wouldn't let you stay anywhere else but here," Kim told him.
