Power Rangers Turbo: The Next Generation

As they walked out of Kim's house and to Tommy's corvette Kim couldn't help but smile when she saw the image of a white falcon and a pink crane entwined together on the side of his car. Tommy opened the door for her and thanked him. After 18-20 years he was still a gentelman. Tommy got into the car and drove to their destination.

LEO'S PIZZA 8:30

When they entered into the restaurant they sat on their table they were greeted by their waitress.

"Good evening what you guys would like?" she said while looking the whole time at Tommy. Kim couldn't help but feel a little jealous but she felt relieved because he wasn't paying attention to the waitress because he couldn't keep his eyes off of her. Then Tommy said "We'll have a pepperoni pizza please" he knew how much Kim loved pepperoni pizza. The waitress wrote down there order"And to drink?"
"I'll have a coke" he said and then looked at Kim "I'll have what he's having "she said smiling.

"Okay I'll be right back with you order" satiated the blond lady. Tommy was the first to speak after the waitress left.

"So, how's it going? What have you been doing these days? Last time I heard from you was that you were running your own gymnastics class." he said while leaning into the table.

"I'm actually still doing that. It's a lot of fun. I like to coach them for whenever they wanna persu that career and go to the Olympics." She continued "I was a little surprised when AJ told me she wanted to do gymnastics. But I think it was because she felt bad about me being sad about Austin's death and she thought that if she joined that I'd feel better. She's actually really good at it." she said proudly

"Well she is your daughter. Gymnastics is in her blood" he said smiling.

When the food and drinks finally came they started eating. After a couple of minutes of comfortable silence Kim decided it was her turn to talk "So enough about me. I've waited long enough, now tell me why did that ranger come to talk to you?" she said with a serious look on her face.

Tommy took a sip of his drink and finally talked "He's an astro ranger" Kim Gave him a confused look "A what?"

"A space ranger" he satiated

"ohh" she said now understanding what he was saying.

"Yeah, his names Andros. He's the red Astro ranger." said Tommy while chewing on a piece of his pizza.

She nodded and he took that as for him to comtinue.

"We met during a mission on the moon."

"The moon?"

"Yep"

"Wow" said Kim, she couldn't believe what she was hearing.

"Yeah, so ever since then we've kept in touch."

"So why did he come to talk to you yesterday."

"He came to tell me that there has been some security breechings in a prison for monsters in Terra Venture up in space. They think someone is planning in breaking in and have one of the monsters escape. "

" oh, but what does that have to do with you.?"

"Andros wants me to train new rangers when they have bin chosen." she nodded she was a little worried to know that there might be a new threat out there and that Tommy was gonna be right in the middle of all of it. "Do they have any leads in who the intruder was" while drinking her coke.

"Actually they already know who it is. It's just that they can't find her. She's of the radar." Kim gave him a confused look, but told him to continue. "Do you remember Divatox?" she nodded. How couldn't she, that bitch threw her and Jason into lava and turn them evil and they almost ended up killing their friends because of it. She felt her stomach turn as she remembered the look of Tommy's face when he tried to break the spell. She was brought back to reality when Tommy spoke again. "Well she has a sister, Paradox. She escaped from a special prison that keep all the really dangerous criminals away when she found out that her sister had been turned good and now she wants to take her place and try to rule the world again."

"Wow. And I thought Divatox had issues. With her stupid alligator thing. That thing was so ugly. And who in their right mind would want to marry an ugly lava monster." Tommy chuckled from the way her attitude was to the whole Divatox conversation. "Do you know who the rangers might be?" he shook his head while taking a sip from his soda "Nope, that's the thing you never know who will be the new rangers. But Andros does, he just doesn't want to tell me yet" Kim nodded as she ate another piece of her pizza "Says the black Dino ranger" she said smiling. He look at her "Who told you about that?" he asked surprised to the news he only told Zack, Adam, and Jason about him being a ranger again.

"Kat told me," she saw the surprise look on his face when she mention his ex girlfriends name. "Jason told Kat and Kat told me" he still looked confused to why Jason told Kat. That last time he talked to the former red ranger was when he was working in Reefside. Kim giggled when she saw the confused look on his face. "You don't know do you?" now he was confused as ever. She shook her head and took in another piece of her pizza before continuing. "Jason and Kat are married. He told her because she wanted to know what you were up to."

"ohhhh, how did they end up together and why wasn't I invited to the wedding"

"About a couple of months after you guy last talk to each other. Jason was in England and he bumped into her and they just started hanging out. And they didn't invite anyone actually only their parents, they had a shot gun wedding." She replied smiling "They have a son too, Russell, I think you have him for one of your classes.
"Russell is there son? Wow' where have. Bin these last couple of years." he said while leaning back on to the chair thinking how long it's been since he'd seen any of the others. The last time they all talk was at Trini's funeral. Where he found out that Aisha married a lawyer, Nathan Carter, with her daughter Samantha, Zack and Angela were also married and had a son named Steve, and Billy, who married his best friend from collage, Rebecca Reid, with their son Rhett. Finally Kim but he only saw her with her husband Austin Turner. She had told him about her daughter and why she couldn't come to the funeral and also to apologize about the letter and how she didn't mean to hurt him. But he just told her that he forgave her a long time ago. He lost his train of thought when Kim spoke up again.

"Yeah. But, back to what we were talking about. First green, white, and then red and now black. I've got to say to Tommy. Your probably the only ranger that has been through so many colored spandex." she said, smiling. "You can take the suit out of the ranger. But you can't take the ranger out of the suit.

"Well Kim there's an old saying Kim" he said while holding up his glass "Once a ranger, always a ranger" she smiled "you can say that again" while holding up her glass "cheers" they both said hit their glasses together and then drank. After they finished eating Tommy paid the bill and they left. Tommy grasped Kim's hand as the walk out the door.

"Do you want to take a walk? There's a Cold Stone down the block if you want some" He said hesitantly
He didn't want this perfect night with the most beautiful woman to end. 'please say yes, please say yes'he thought to himself She bit her bottom lip smiling "sure" he tried to keep his big smile but he failed which made Kim giggle. They walked to the ice cream store hand in hand. Tommy got chocolate ice cream with white chocolate chips, Kim got vanilla with sprinkles.

"How did end up being a since teacher? I never saw you as that type of person. I thought you were gonna run a dojo and teach martial arts." said Kim as they walked out of the ice cream store.
"I just felt like I wanted to try something different so I studied to be a Paleontologist when I was in college And after the whole explosion in the island I decided to teach it in high schools.

"ohh, and where the whole hair thing comes in." she says while scrubbing his short locks.

"Yeah, the whole PhD and teacher thing did go with the hair." smiled while biting on his cone. They continued to walk until they stopped into a familiar place. Their spot in Angel Grove Park; the spot where they had shared their first kiss, and where Tommy had asked Kim to be his date to the dance. They sat there till they finished their ice cream. Kim looked at the lake and memories that she had in this exact spot. Those memories made her feel stupid for ever writing that letter. Even though Tommy forgave her for doing it. She still felt that she had betrayed for lying to him about meeting someone else. Even though she met Austin eight months later. She still remember that she cried herself to sleep at night. Remember when her and Jason were saved by Tommy and the others. She felt happy but hurt at the same time when she saw him and Kat together. She felt that a piece of her that die that day.

Even after all of that she still loved Tommy with all her heart and she still does now. She just didn't remember until she saw him in that hallway and felt something inside of her that she hadn't felt in years.

Her animal spirit waking up from its endless sleep.

She was brought back to reality when Tommy spoke up "Are you ready to go?" he asked while wiping his hand with the napkin. She look at him and nodded "But wait you've got a lil something right there" she said while licking her thumb and guided it to his left cheek. "Thanks" he blushed from the gesture. "No problem." For a moment they just stared at each other, smiling. Neither of them new who made the first move, but both ended up kissing each other, passionately. Tommy was holding her by her waist, as Kim was pulling him closer with his shirt.

When they pulled away panting because of the lack of oxygen. When they finally got their breaths under control the both stared at each other not knowing what to say.

"Kim, I'm so sorry. I don't know what came..." he was interrupted when Kim blurted out. "I love you" she felt her heart drop when she saw the shocked look on his face. But then he smiled at her "say it again" he said cheerfully

"I love you, Tommy" she said innocently. She gasped when he kissed her but with more passion then the last one. It took her a moment to take in what was happening and then she kissed him back. What felt like hours the finally pulled away Kim pulled Tommy into a big hug he hugged her back while putting his arms around her and put his chin under her head.

Kim felt her heart leap when she heard him say "I love you Beautiful" tears were filling in her eyes when she heard her old nickname.

"I love you too Handsome"

After some minutes they finally left the park and left to Tommy's car. When they finally got to Kim's home he got out of the car and opened the door for her. She got out of the car and thanked him, then she walked to the side of the car were the image of the both animals where located. She traced the picture with her fingers while smiling "It's beautiful"

"Not as beautiful as you are" he said

Kim chuckled "That's so cheesy"

"But I still mean it"

"I know" Kim said as the both walked to the door. Kim unlocked the door and then looked at the handsome man behind her "I would ask you to come inside but it's getting late and you and I have to go to work tomorrow." He nodded in agreement "How about we go out this weekend?"

"That would be great" replied Tommy while smiling

"Okay, give me you number and we'll talk." They both gave each other there numbers and agreed to see each other this weekend. Before tommy left he gave her one last sweet kiss on her lips. He smiled when he pulled away and saw Kim bitting her lip and blushing.

"Night, Beautiful" he said while walking back to the car but never leaving his eyes off of her.

"Night Tiger" she said while blowing a kiss to him as he got in the car and then drove off. She opened the door and go inside she didn't notice her daughter sitting by the stairs smiling at her. "Awww, that's so cute. You guys already have cute nick names." She teased as she got up and walked to the couch next to her mom. "Sooo, how'd it go?" She said, smiling

"AJ go to bed" Kim said while point to the stairs. "Now" she said before AJ could protest. AJ got up "Fine, but tomorrow your telling me all the detail and by all I mean all" said her daughter while walking up the stairs. Kim chuckled and lay down on the couch, smiling.

Tommy and her were finally together again. She thought to herself " And this time I'm not letting him go."
