The next morning was a very tearful one for Kimberly. Billy had to leave and go back to his bride. It upset her knowing that when she returned home, he would not be there. Then it was time to say goodbye to the others. They had been a shoulder to cry on and had accepted her into their lives with no questions. The group sat in a circle for a goodbye and ate their morning meals. Kimberly decided to speak. "Ummm. I just want to say that I appreciate all that you guys have done for me and Tommy. I just wish that I could have gotten to know you kind people under better circumstances." The group chuckled a little at the thought. "Ya." Tommy now stood, "If you guys hadn't have been so welcoming and trusting Kim and I would have frozen to death out in the wild somewhere." "I want to thank you for destroying the monster. The planet would have been destroyed if you hadn't done that." Devon reminded them. "But..." Kim looked sad, "If it weren't for us the monster would have never been sent." Alonzo spook up for the first time in a long time, "that's not exactly true. The terrians told me that it was supposed to happen. I assume that means that monster was coming anyway. I don't know though. The terrians are never too clear." "Right." Julia answered, "Ummm....Tommmy? I'm sorry for almost killing you with my medicine." "Hey. It's not you're fault. Why would you know that I had different stuff in me? Just remember, I would have died without you." "I, for one," Morgan spoke, "will not be sad to see you go. Only bad things have happened since you were here." "Morgan!" Bess screeched, "That is not true and you know it! Morgan, I'm ashamed of you." he held his head in shame. "Kimberly. Forgive him please. I'm very happy you came. I met a great friend." Bess walked over to Kim and they hugged. "I'm just glad we got to meet some Power Rangers!" Uly jumped up. "Ya," True agreed, "Amazing! You guys are great." "When I grow up I want to be the best Good guy in the world and..." "Slow down Uly," Yale calmed the boy. "Tommy," Danziger walked over and shook Tommy's hand, "It was great knowing you. I love your stories about old cars. Must be lots of jobs for mechanics back then." "Ya, but they just cheat is out of money so..." they both laughed. "I'll miss you man." "You too." "I think I'm gonna cry." Kim started to tear up and Tommy put his arm around. "In the short time I was here, I thought of you as family. I'm gonna miss you guys!" "We'll miss you too." Some of the members of the group said. "Kim. Zordon will probably let us visit sometime." Kim smiled remembering the Power, "That's right! Would you guys mind if sometime we came back and visited?" "That would be fine" Devon smiled. "As long as you bring some warm clothes and good food!" Danziger laughed. "It's a deal!" Tommy gave a thumbs up. "I guess this is goodbye then." Kim wiped her tears. "Until we met again." Tommy pressed the familiar buttons on his communicator and the pair zipped off on a journey 22 lightyears from where they've been. "Until we meet again." Devon repeated. *** "AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!" Rita hit Zedd with her wand over and over and over and over again. ****************************************************************************** Kimberly and Tommy landed in Tommy's house where they had both first departed. Kimberly looked into the mirror and realized what happened so he ran to Tommy's room. They met half way. "We're back!!" She screamed as she jumped into an embrace. "Yes!" he picked her up and swung her around in a circle. "What should we do now?" she laughed. "I suppose we should tell the others we're back." he suggested. "Do we have to?" she wrapped her finger around his hair. "As much as I would like, no love, to stay here I think Zordon has a right to now what happened." she pouted but shook her head in agreement. *** "Tommy, Kimberly!!" Alpha jumped with joy, "You're back!" "It's good to see you Alpha, Zordon." Kimberly remembered how long it had been since she'd seen them. "WHAT HAPPENED RANGERS?" "Lets get the other guys here so we don't have to explain again." Tommy suggested. Within minutes all the Rangers were there and all the story was told. Kimberly and Tommy tested out there new Powers. They were amazing. Kimberly's colour was blue like the sky and Tommy's colour was beige like the ground. Zordon figured that the powers came from nature. Zordon had to make Kimberly take her Ranger vow again, even though he knew she would never be bad. *** Tommy's aunt and uncle were still out so Tommy decided to throw a welcome home party for him and Kim and invited all the guys. "So what was it like on the other planet?" asked Jason. "Oh. It was amazing." Kim smiled, "It would have been a lot better if we had known what was going on and nothing bad had happened." "I still can't believe you so beat up and you look so good." Kat looked him up and down. "Ya. It is pretty amazing." "Do you even have scars?" Kim remembered the before picture. Tommy lifted his shirt to show his well defined stomach. "Good as new!" "I'll say." Kim smacked him lightly. "You guys seem mighty friendly." Tanya grinned. Kat frowned. "Ummm...ya." Kim blushed. "Ya. Is that all you can say?" Tommy acted upset. "Ummm...ya." she blushed more. "I think what Kim means to say is..." He picked her up in his arms and gave her a very passionate kiss. "Ummm...ya." she stuttered out once he put her down. *** After everyone left Tommy and Kim lay of the backporch under a quilt. Kim cuddled up to Tommy and looked to the stars. "It's so beautiful." Kim admired the stars. "I don't know about you, but I look at the sky in a whole new light." "I know what you mean. I mean, we've been in space before but nothings been quite as memorable as that trip." Kim laughed. "Ya. It was memorable." "You know what Tommy? I'm glad that it happened in a weird way." "Uhh...," he joked, "glad I was burned to a crisp?" "NO no," she moved cuddled up to him more, "I'm glad I got to be with you. I almost forgot what it was like to be with you. You are the best man in the whole wide world. Nothing compared to what's his name." "For that reason I'm glad it happened too." He kissed her cheek. "What happens now? I can't think of life without you, Kimberly." "I'm gonna stay in Angel Grove. My life in Florida never was right. This is right. Right here, with you and the others." "It does feel perfect. I love you Kimmy. You know that right. I don't want you to ever forget it and know that whatever happens in the future you will always be on my mind." "I know. You should know I feel the same way. I love you." Tommy and Kim just stared stars and the planets feeling total peace and total love. They even looked to the moon. The place of horror but of such beauty. "You know, Tommy. I wish earth had two beautiful moons." ****************************************************************************** THE END! Okay...that was the end.
