Chapter Ten: Now, Tomorrow and Forever

Zordon and Alpha were waiting anxiously when the nine Power Rangers beamed in, Jason carrying a very pale spirit of Kimberly in his arms.
"Ayi ayi ayi ayi ayi!" Alpha squeaked in horror. "Lay her over her body, Jason. I need to fuse the body and soul."
Jason obeyed, the worry and fear evident in his eyes. What if she didn't wake up once her soul returned to her body? What if she really was dead?
Alpha turned to the computers and he and Billy began to punch in a series of codes. The Rangers stood around, waiting nervously.
"Proceed, Alpha," Zordon resounded when Alpha glanced at him to check if it was all right to administer the electric fusion on Kimberly. "Stand back, Jason, you're too close."
Jason reluctantly allowed Billy to pull him gently backwards. Alpha muttered a few things under his breath and pressed a button on the system.
Instantly, a brilliant cord of electricity shot out of tubes by the stretcher and enveloped Kimberly's body in a cage of electric beams that crackled and sizzled. Jason winced and had to be restrained by Billy and Rocky when the soul of Kimberly uttered a scream, but soon her voice died away.
And then it was all over.
Her body lay motionless on the flat bed, her soul safely fused back within her.
No one said a word. There was nothing they knew to say. They just stared at the body of their teammate and friend and waited . . . waited for some sign that she would return to them; all of her.
Minutes passed, and there was nothing.
"Kim . . ." Jason begged softly, his voice painfully tight and choked.
"Dammit, Kim!" Rocky yelled. "Wake up!"
Billy reached out and tried to gently slap some life into Kimberly's face, but there was no movement.
Tears were beginning to return to Aisha and Kimberly. Trini turned her face into Zack's shoulder and the others suspected she had broken down sobbing again.
Jason wasn't going to accept it.
"No!" he growled forcefully and moving forward, lifted Kimberly's upped body into his arms and looked down close into her face. "Wake up." He whispered softly into her ear. "Please, Kimmie, wake up for me. Do it for us . . . come back to me."
And then -
Her eyelids flickered.
"Kim!" Adam yelled, his usual calm completely shattered. "Trini, she's waking up!" he told the original distraught Yellow Ranger.
And she did wake up. Slowly, her eyes opened and she blinked in the sudden lights of the Command Centre. Confusion flashed across her face and then realization. Her eyes met Jason's and he saw elation cross them.
A smile tugged at her mouth. "You're here. It's about damn time, Scott."
***
The Youth Centre was the location for the huge party thrown in celebration of Kimberly's return. There was not one person who wasn't truly happy that night, and they showed it with rocking music and non-stop dancing.
Zordon and Alpha had send a memory wave throughout the city, so that those who had believed Kim was dead, had no memory of any of it. Only the Rangers knew exactly how much they, and their 'little sister', had gone through.
"Wow, Kim!" Rocky whistled, grinning at the original Pink Ranger as she walked towards him in a sexy black dress. "Lookin' good!"
"Gee, thanks, Rock," she chuckled. "Where's Aisha?"
Rocky pointed in the direction of where Jason was being mobbed by Aisha, Trini, Kat, Adam, Billy AND Zack. Tommy still hadn't arrived yet.
"What's that about?" Kimberly asked, surprised at the gathering that seemed to be causing poor Jason a severe headache.
Rocky grinned. He knew perfectly well what they were saying to Jason, but there was no way he was going to tell Kim. "Just a few words of advice," he said casually, slinging his arm around her shoulders. "It's good to have to back, Kim." He added seriously, his eyes reflecting his absolute sincerity.
Kimberly smiled at him. "It's hard to believe. Being home at last. Thanks for everything, Rocky. I wouldn't be here if it wasn't for you and the others . . .and Jason most of all." Her eyes lit up as they rested on the handsome original Red Ranger.
"I know that look." Rocky laughed. He looked at Jason too and smiled. "He seems to be getting into the blue thing. Black pants as always, but e isn't wearing that damned old red shirt of his."
Jaosn was wearing a new blue shirt with half sleeves and buttons. Kimberly remembered how he'd looked in the Blue Ranger uniform and smiled.
"Uh huh," Rocky smiled. "Why don't you get him alone and tell him what's behind that smile? It's about time you too got your act together."
"You think?" Kim joked, grinning at her 'brother'. "Billy's been telling me the same thing."
"Billy's smart."
Kim couldn't help but laugh at that. She gave Rocky a hug and said: "All right, Rock, I'll get him alone - but only because of one reason."
Rocky raised his eyebrows. "And what's that, Kimberly Hart?"
"He looks so damned sexy in blue."
***
"I just can't believe you're here." Jason mumbled, smiling at her as she pulled him out into the deserted balcony of the Youth Centre.
She grinned as he slid his arms around her waist, pulling her closer to him. "Don't worry, Jase, I'm real." She told him dryly. Her voice grew low as she added: "My feelings are real too."
Jason looked into her eyes, his own shining. "And what feelings are those?" he asked quietly, tilting her chin slightly up.
"I love you, Jase."
That was all he needed. Covering the last of the distance between them, he let his mouth graze hers gently before deepening the kiss to one that fuelled every cell of desire and fire within him.
Her arms wound around his neck and she could feel her heart slamming against her rib cage. How many times had she longed to be in Jason's arms like this?
"I'm never going to go away again," he breathed shakily when they broke the kiss. "I don't think I could ever handle losing you."
"Don't worry," she promised him, "I'll never leave you. You have me back, Jase. Heart, body and soul."
He grinned and kissed her again. "That works both ways. Now, tomorrow and forever."
