It was Tommy’s turn to cry. He turned away from her and let the tears slowly fill his eyes. He hadn’t expected it to be so difficult either. He was the one who had agreed to have this dinner in the first place, telling Jason that he didn’t even think it was a necessary conversation to have. But when Kimberly had told him how wonderful Florida had been, and how beautiful she looked when she arrived earlier that night, his emotions got the better of him.

He set his glass down on the counter and braced himself along the edge with his hands. He still had his back to her, not wanting her to see him cry.“All right.” Kimberly recited her mother’s hotel and the phone numbers to get in contact with her. “I’ll see you soon Trini.”

“You just take care of yourself, Kim. Bye.”

“Bye.” Kimberly replaced the phone back on the receiver. She knew Trini was not happy and would not be happy when Kimberly actually told her everything. It was nice to talk to her again though, even if the news had been bad. Her eyes began to droop and Kimberly drifted back to sleep.

Kimberly’s Dream  The armor of these mock-Rangers was mostly black, the details of each picked out in the Ranger's color. The style of the armors was impressive, obviously designed to look menacing.

         "There are only five," Zord-1 observed. "Blue, Red, Pink, Yellow, and Black."

         "Then that's who goes," Tommy said. "Ready, guys?"

         Affirmative answers.

         "Then let's go." Tommy and Jared replaced their helmets, not having bothered to demorph. The other three conjured their morphers.

         "Mastadon!"

         "Pterodactyl!

         "Saber-toothed Tiger!"

Kimberly found herself sitting by the lake. As she glanced around at her surroundings, she realized that she was back home in Angel Grove. She smiled to herself, but then looked down. Once again, she was stuck in a wheelchair. However, dream Kimberly didn’t make any connections to real Kimberly. Dream Kimberly was happy to be home, mostly because she could be with her friends and Tommy again. She was looking forward to seeing his face, hearing his voice, and touching his skin. She didn’t think of how he would react to her; she thought he would understand completely.

He closed his eyes and let his mind wander. He thought back to when he and Kimberly had first met. Their first kiss, their first date, the first time they made love, all the hugs and hand holding. All the gifts and sly looks they always gave to each other. All the battles they had fought together, all the walks on the beach and long talks where they shared their fears and wishes with one another. He wanted that back. He wanted her back more than anything in the world, but he just didn’t think it could be possible anymore. She had hurt him too much. And now, he had hurt her and he was about to do it again.
