On the first summer morning, Hayley cleaned the tables in her cafe as she thought of how proud she was of her teen rangers. Kira, Conner, Ethan and Trent were in their senior year and would graduate soon. Everything in her life was great except Tommy's high school sweetheart, Kat. Hayley got ready to open the cafe when Tommy strolled in.
"I have big news," the black dino ranger told her.
"What is it?" Hayley questioned.
"I'm asking Kat to marry me."
"What!" she exclaimed, dropping her towel. "Tommy, you can't do that!"
"Why not? I'm ready to settle down, and you used to like her," Tommy stated. "What happened?"
"It doesn't matter," the red head replied. "Just trust me."
"No," he protested, "I'm asking!" Hayley watched him leave, wishing she could tell him everything. It all started two months ago...
On a typical morning, Tommy and Kat came round Hayley's cybercafe to chat for a while before leaving to go on a date, as per usual. Just as they left, Jason entered the cafe.
"Hey, you just missed Tommy and Kat," Hayley informed.
"I'm glad I did," Jason replied irritably. "I can't believe she's with him."
"What do you mean?" Hayley asked, her eyebrow raised skeptically. "Kim's the one who wrote that Dear John letter. It's good that Tommy's moved on."
Jason sighed before looking around as if he was hiding some secret. He turned back to Hayley. "Can we talk in your office?" he implored.
The red head cafe owner was a little taken aback but she agreed, "Sure."
As soon as the office door was closed, Jason let loose.
"Kat wrote that letter and she wrote a similar one to Kim," he admitted.
"How do you know?" Hayley asked, thoroughly surprised but somewhat relieved, at the same time.
"After my gold ranger days. I went to meet the 'other' guy. When I got there, Kim was alone and she had no idea what I was talking about."
"You mean there wasn't another guy?"
"No; Kim told me Tommy broke up with her for Kat," the veteran former ranger explained.
"By letter," Hayley filled in. "What did you do?"
"I went back home and told Kat that I knew," he answered.
"That's why she doesn't leave you alone with him," she realised.
"That's why," Jason confirmed, nodding earnestly. "Hayley, you can't let them get too close."
"I'll try," Hayley reassured him. "Does Kim know?"
"Yes, Trini and I are moving here as soon as I find a place and Kim's coming with us."
Jason found a four bedroom house two weeks ago. Only Hayley knew that Kim was coming.
The next night, Tommy invited Hayley and the teens over for dinner.
"So, what's the big news?" Kira asked as Kat sauntered into the room.
"We're getting married!" the blonde dancer answered.
"Way to go," the three boys praised in unison.
"I'm really happy for you guys," Kira added.
"Me too," Hayley joined in. "Kat, do you need help in the kitchen?"
"Sure," Kat said, leading her fiance's friend into the kitchen.
"What are you doing?" Hayley demanded, placing some food onto a tray.
"Getting drinks," Kat replied nonchalantly, pouring some drinks into cups.
"I meant saying yes to Tommy," Hayley clarified shortly. "You know you can't marry him."
"And why not?" the blonde inquired innocently.
"I know about the letters," the red head revealed, smirking in satisfaction as Kat dropped a cup in shock.
"Jason told you," she guessed, picking up the cup and cleaning the mess.
"I'm not going to tell him but I'm not going to let you marry him," Hayley warned, refilling the cup that Kat dropped earlier.
"Look, a guy like Tommy is hard to find, and Kim left whereas I didn't. So the way I see it, I deserve him more," Kat justified herself, snatching the refilled cup away from her and placing it on the tray of drinks.
"Kim left to follow her dream and Tommy wanted her to," Hayley countered.
"And that makes it okay?" Kat snarled, picking the tray of drinks up. "I don't think so."
"It does," Hayley snapped, doing the same with the tray of food. "What you did was wrong."
"I did what I had to do," Kat finished before leaving the kitchen. Hayley silently followed, knowing that she had to call Jason.
Kim was helping Trini unpacked her belongings in their new house when Jason walked in to check on them.
"Well, girls, how do you like the house?" he asked.
"It's perfect, but we need a plan," Trini commented when the phone started to the ring. Jason left the room to answer it.
"I have the perfect plan," Kim spoke up, sitting down on the bed.
"What is it?" the other woman questioned.
"I'm going to say that I wrote the letter because I wanted him to be happy and that there was never anyone else."
"I love that. How did you come up with that?"
"Well, I wanted to show Kat that Tommy will always love me and I wanted to show them both how much I will always love him. So, I thought about why I would write a letter like that and that's what I came up with," Kim elaborated.
"Well, you better tell him soon because he is going to marry Kat," Jason said, entering the room once again.
"Trini, you're going to keep Kat busy starting this weekend," Kim started, an idea forming in her mind.
