Chapter 1: Beauty Has It's Advantages, And Then Again...
Kimberly woke up early in the morning. Sunshine filling her room with rays of pink, gold and orange. Kimberly sighed as she rolled from her side to her back looking up at her ceiling. Tommy had left for fall break a few days back. She had seen him off with his parents, trying to have a smile on her face, which she failed greatly. Though everyone tried to comfort her that day, Kimberly still felt alone. The love her of her life was hundreds of miles away. He wasn't here to hold her anymore at night and that was truly going to be hard to bare. Kimberly sighed again and bringing her dragon that Tommy had gotten at the arcade, the last time the couple went there as a date. She called it her LDZ, little Dragonzord.
It was his gift for him, but one night as they lay in his bed, Kimberly was teasing him regrettably hard over the stuffed animal. She had woke up and found it against his chest, he was hugging it, and even though she was the one who won it for him, she still teased him. Tommy slipped it into her bookbag the next morning with a note. 'Now, my little Dragon will protect you when I'm not there, Beautiful'. She laughed when she found it right as she was taking her homework out her bag. Kimberly was teased by Bulk and Skull for not being able to go anywhere without her stuffed animal. Tommy came to her aid, as he always tends to do when those two bullies are around her.
Kimberly smiled to that flashback. She looked at her middle finger and saw the ring Tommy gave her. A promise to engage ring, as Tommy put it. A shock to Kimberly, her mother and Tommy's mother, but a welcomed surprised. His kisses still fresh in her mind. Kimberly lay on her back rotating the ring on her finger with tears in her eyes. Kim's phone went off breaking her daze. Kimberly wiped her face as she turned to her phone.
"Hello?" Kimberly said as she picked up her phone. Her voice a bit off.
"Morning, Beautiful."
"Tommy?!" Kimberly sat up, wiping her face more. "Hi!"
"Hi! Were you sleeping? Did I wake you?"
"No, I was awake. How are you doing?"
"Good. I felt that you're sad and missing me."
"Yeah right. I don't miss you the least bit." Kimberly laughed with Tommy's chuckle.
"I see how it is, Beautiful. Fine, if you don't miss me, but I miss you."
"I miss you too very much, everyone does, especially Jason."
"What's wrong with Jason?" Tommy asked.
"I don't know, he just seems distance, a bit sadder than usual. I know he that he puts on a leader face, but, I mean, we all miss you, but I think it's something else with him."
"I'll call him and see what's wrong?"
"Thank you. I don't know what to do to help him. He just seems so lost at times. Sorry! Enough of this sad stuff."
"Agreed."
So, what are you doing when you are not thinking about me?" Tommy laughed.
"I don't ever stop thinking about you, Kimberly. But I did have some fun, spending time with my family. My parents are going back today, but I want to stay a few days, clear my head some more."
"Okay."
"Kimberly!" A shout came from downstairs
"That's Mom. I better go. I'll write you a letter today."
"Did you get mine?"
"Yes, thank you." Kimberly had received 2 separate letters from Tommy, though he had only been gone for 4 days. "Though you don't have to write me like everyday."
"I want to write you. I miss you. I love you."
"Kimberly!"
"Coming Mom! I'm coming! I'm sorry, tiger. I must go. You take care of yourself. And get back here soon."
"I will try, Beautiful. Have some fun yourself. It's your break too, so don't mope around. I would hate myself if you did that."
"Okay, I promise. I'll have some fun too."
"Good."
"I love you Tommy."
"I love you more."
"I love you more."
"I love you more."
"No, I love you more."
"No, I love you more."
"KIMBERLY!"
"I'm coming Mommy!"
"Bye, Kimberly."
"Bye Tommy."
"Love you." Kimberly hung up her phone with a smile. She needed that more than she ever thought.
Zack was helping Jason workout before his big tournament just hours away that afternoon. It was a Thurday morning. Zack noticed Jason's lack of concentration. Jason even caught him before he could kick the bag as Tommy's image appeared at the bag. Zack asked Jason what was wrong. He found out how Jason blamed himself for Tommy losing his powers if he had just gotten that green candle months ago, then Tommy would never had to go through what he did. Jason hated seeing Kimberly so sad when she thought no one around was watching her. Her eyes were without the same flare and grace that Kimberly carries. She is stronger than all of them; she really is the heart of the team. And with her missing Tommy so much meant the team's moral was low too. Kimberly arrived to the Youth Center with Billy. Kimberly saw Zack sitting alone.
"Hey, what's wrong? Where's Jason?" Kimberly asked sitting on the steps with him. Zack explained what Jason told him earlier.
"Guys, I'm really worried about Jason," Zack said.
"I know. Well, the only solution is, we have to find Tommy. I mean, ranger or no ranger, he's our friend. I know Tommy would want to help Jason. He would never forgive me or us if we didn't tell him."
"I agree," Billy said. They all got up. "But, where do you think Tommy is?"
"Yeah, I thought his trip to visit his family was just the few days during the reunion?"
"Well, I've been thinking about that. And his family reunion is over with, he told me his parents will be back today. So he's probably at his uncle's cabin in the mountains, you know the one with the lake. He told me he goes there when he's feeling a bit down."
"I have my car. Let's go. I'll drive," Zack said.
"Okay. I'll call Trini and we'll pick her up on the way." They all left. Billy was navigating as the girls sat in the backseat. Zack was driving. They were looking for Tommy's uncle cabin, trying to find the road where that lake leads.
"Guys, I think we're lost," Zack said finally. "I know we have passed that tree twice."
"Great," Kimberly said. "We don't have time to be lost."
"We should pull over and check the map," Billy said. Zack nodded. They all got out the car and checked the map.
"Guys, we are really lost."
"Oh man!" Kimberly groaned.
Goldar appeared as the rangers had stopped to figure out a way to get to mountains faster to make up for the time lost.
"You're coming with me, you pitiful rangers!"
"Goldar!" Kimberly pointed.
"Let's morph guys!"
"It's morping time," Zack yelled. The rangers morphed, knowing Goldar was only there to battle. Little did they know, Goldar was there to kidnap the rangers and bring them to Lord Zedd's Dimension of Doom. Lord Zedd had seen how upset Jason was about losing Tommy, so decided to use the remains of the green candle and create, a pink, yellow, blue and black candle to drain the other rangers' powers as well. Like Tommy's candle, when their candle's lights go out, their powers will be gone forever as well.
Jason was walking through the park to clear his mind, when his communicator went off. Jason teleported to the Command Center and found out that his friends were taken by Goldar. Jason was fueled in anger and grief as he watched his friends being drained of their powers. Kimberly was the only one able to stand, as she held on the bars, calling out for Jason's help. She finally collapsed to her knees.
"JASON, YOU MUST CONTROL YOUR ANGER. THIS IS EXACTLY WHAT LORD ZEDD WANTS. RED RANGER, COME STAND BEFORE ME." Jason turned to face Zordon though extremely upset. "JASON, A TRUE LEADER IS ALWAYS FACED WITH DIFFICULT DECISIONS AND YOU MUST CONTROL YOUR EMOTIONS. YOU MUST ACT ACCORDINGLY."
"Jason, you made the right decision when you left Tommy's candle," Alpha said.
"THE OTHERS RANGERS NEEDED YOU THEN, AS THE RANGERS NEED YOU NOW. YOU MUST MAKE ANOTHER TOUGH DECISION. IF YOU ENTER LORD ZEDD'S DIMENSION, YOUR POWERS COULD BE LOST JUST AS YOUR FRIENDS." Jason stepped forward.
"That's a risk, I'm willing to take. I have to save my friends. I will save my friends."
"YOU HAVE MADE A FINE LEADER, RED RANGER. ONLY BY DEFEATING THE PIPE BRAIN MONSTER WILL YOU GAIN ACCESS TO THE DIMENSION. GOOD LUCK JASON. AND MAY THE POWER PROTECT YOU."
"It's morphing time!" Jason morphed into the Red ranger to combat the Pipe Monster. Jason defeated the monster with his zord and entered the Dimension of Doom. Goldar fought Jason, knocking the candles over. Goldar leaves the dimension believing there is no way that Jason can save his friends. Jason goes to the cage and asks the rangers for their power coin after he unlocked the door. By adding their power coins to the candles with his, the candles are made whole and their powers are theirs again. A doorway opens in the dimension. Jason is the last one through. They all hug Jason once they are all safe back in the Command Center. Alpha tells them he has located Tommy. Kimberly rushes to the viewing globe first.
"Oh, see, I told you he was by the lake," Kimberly said with a smile.
"Looks like he writing something." Tommy was sitting by the lake, writing a letter to Jason. Tommy writes how he doesn't blame Jason for what happened and he knows he will take good care of the team, because they need him as he needs them too. Tommy tells Jason to go on and win that tournament, because he believes in him and he knows he will always do his best. Jason smiled. Trini high fived him after Zack patted Jason's back. Billy did the same.
"Come on, guys. Let's go win that tournament."
"Yes." Kimberly held his wrist as Trini still held his hand.
Jason goes back to the tournament and wins the competition with his crisp and amazing routine. Jason gets the trophy and is lifted on the shoulders of Billy and Zack as the crowd claps.
"This one is for you Tommy! Where ever you are!" Trini and Kimberly rub his legs as he is carried about on Billy and Zack's shoulder.
"Yay!"
"Way to go Jason!" Trini put her arm around Kim's shoulders as they celebrate for their best friend.
Fall break was about to be over in a matter of days, and Tommy still hadn't returned. And could never tell Kimberly when he would be back or if he ever would come back before school started. Kimberly sat alone in the Youth Center staring into a mirror. Billy came into the Youth Center and saw this. He sat down with Kimberly.
"Hey." Kim looked up with a smile.
"Oh, hey, Billy."
"Sure is quiet around here without Tommy." Kimberly barely looked up, caressing her mirror. "That's a pretty interesting mirror you have."
"Thanks. Tommy won it for me a while back at the carnival."
"I know Kim, we all miss him." Billy put his arm around her, rubbing her shoulder. She looked at him with tears in her eyes. Billy put his head to her head. "It's going to be okay." She shook her head, as he hugged her.
"He's not coming back, Billy."
"What?"
"I just have this feeling..."
"He loves you, Kimberly. He'll be back soon."
"I just wish I could shake this gloomy mood. I know I'm depressing everyone."
"We all understand. I wish there was some way I could help."
"I just wish I could really know. Like a sign. Hey, Madame Swamp? " Kimberly noticed this ad in the newspaper. "Fortune teller extraordinaire. Hey, she says she can see the future. Maybe Madame Swampy can help me find out if Tommy's coming back soon. "
"A fortune teller?" Kim smiled. "You know there is no scientific data to support such practitioners."
"I know, but maybe she can tell me something about Tommy."
"I doubt that."
"Hey, she's not far from here! I should go..." Kimberly started grabbing her things.
"Kimberly, that might not be the wisest..."
"Oh, please!" Billy sighed. "Don't you have to meet Zack, his cousin, Curtis, and Richie at the park for rolling blading?"
"Yeah."
"Well, there, we can stop by the place."
"I need to pick up my roller blades first, then I can walk you near Madame Swampy's place."
"You don't have to come with me." Kimberly rushed to leave with Billy right behind her
"I want to."
"Cool."
Lord Zedd, from the Moon, was looking down to see Kimberly Hart walking. He wanted a queen, moreso than that, he wanted company other than the dumb goons left here by Rita. 'She is quite beautiful...and strong. The Green ranger was a fool to leave this prize alone' Zedd thought. 'She would make me a perfect slave. She is firey, beauty, exactly the type of slave I need.'
"GOLDAR!"
"Yes, my Lord!" Goldar appeared and bowed to his master.
"I need a queen and since Tommy has left his beautiful girlfriend all alone, I think maybe I should take care of her now."
"Excellent choice my Lord! She is very pretty!"
"Never you mind that! Go, get my bride now!"
"Of course my Lord!" Goldar quickly left for his task.
Kimberly arrived to the shop. It was empty and scary looking.
"Whoa, what a weird looking place. Closed for lunch? Lunch?! Oh, man! Now, how will I find out when Tommy is coming back?!" Kimberly turned to leave. She took a few steps before she felt a tingle. Putties appeared with Goldar. "Wohoa! I wonder if Madame Swampy could have predicted this?!"
"There is no need to future a fortune teller now. I know what your future holds."
"Yeah, well I serious doubt that Goldar." Kimberly kicked back a putty that was behind her.
"You'll be going with me, Pink Ranger!" Kimberly watched as Goldar charged toward her. He grabbed her.
"Let go me, you gold monkey!"
"Your ranger days are through. You have been chosen to be Lord Zedd's queen."
"Me?!"
"Yes you!"
"I don't think so!" Goldar spun her away when she stomped on his foot. Kim turned to find Goldar with a handful of gold dust. He threw dust on her. Kim's arms came up to protect herself. Kimberly felt herself getting dizzy before she collapsed. Goldar caught her over his shoulder and they teleported out. From her bookbag, her mirror fell out. Zedd turned Kim's mirror into a monster.
Zedd sent down putties to attack Curtis and Richie who were waiting on Billy and Zack. Zordon contacts Billy and Zack and they teleported to the Command Center. Trini arrives with them. Jason was up fishing with his uncle today. They found out Zedd's plan to turn Kimberly into his queen. Meanwhile, Zedd sends down putties to attack Curtis and Richie.
"You guys go help Kimberly. I'll handle the putties," Zack said.
"Okay." They morphed out.
Kimberly wakes up in a cave and finds Goldar, Squatt and Baboo watching her. Goldar puts Kimberly into Rita's old gown and tells her he will train her to be queen. Luckily, the spell didn't work on Kimberly. She knew Goldar didn't know, so pretended to act like Rita, but yelling and insulting them. She screams like Rita getting them to leave the cave. Kimberly laughs and reaches for her morpher and communicator. When the Blue Ranger and Yellow Ranger arrived after defeating the putties outside the cave, Kimberly was already about the head out the cave with a huge smile in Rita's dress.
"What are you guys doing here?"
"To rescue you," Trini said. "Wow, nice dress."
"Ha ha," Kimberly said. Kim looked at her with a smirk before she morphed herself. They still had to deal with the monster Zedd had created a monster from Kim's mirror.
Billy, Kimberly, Zack and Trini went back to the Youth Center after defeating the monster.
"That was a close one, Kimberly."
"I know, luckily Goldar's magic dust didn't work," Kimberly said searching her bookbag. "Oh no!"
"What's wrong?"
"The mirror Tommy gave me is gone. I can't find it anywhere!"
"So, what did Madame Swampy tell you?" Billy asked.
"Oh, no more fortune telling. I think I can wait until Tommy calls me." Kim smiled.
"You didn't look good in that Rita dress," Trini said.
"I know! YUCK!" They all laughed. Curtis came roller blading into the Youth Center.
"Hi guys!"
"Hey man!" Zack said giving his cousin a high five.
"Say, does this belong to anybody?" Curtis pulled out a mirror from his back pocket. Kimberly gasped.
"Oh, yes!" She took it quickly and held it to her chest. "Oh, thank you soo, soo much Curtis!"
"No problem. Anything for a pretty lady." He rubbed her back. Kimberly looked at her mirror before holding it to her chest again. Bulk and Skull came in claiming to have found the Power Rangers thanks to Madame Swampy's map. But they only found Billy, Zack, Kimberly and Trini sitting there. Skull tosses the map to the ground.
"Madame Swampy was wrong! Only these geeks are here!" Billy examined the map. He laughed.
"Oh no wonder. Did you bother to look at the back? It's not that type of a map. The treasure is a free muffin at Ernie's Juice Bar." Bulk smiled, free food was always a good thing for him to hear. Ernie called it a clever promotion since Madam Swampy was a good friend of him.
"Free muffin..." Bulk and Skull shrugged taking a protein muffin. They both ate into their muffins. "When you buy lunch," Richie pointed out. Ernie watched, as they didn't have money; so as for payment, Bulk and Skull had to spend time doing the dishes. The others laughed as Ernie pulled out 2 aprons and motioned for the boys to get to work.
