Why?

Chapter 1: Thinking and Flashbacks

Kim was sitting at her new home in Florida crying her eyes out looking at the stars wishfully wondering how this had happened. Why did she give up her morpher for this? This was torture. She never thought any thing like this would happen to her. Why? Why?Why? She sat there trying to figure this out crying all at the same time. Her mind flashed to The Letter and the tears started to flow more and more.

Tommy just got back from a fight with one of The Machine Empire's monster still thinking about The Letter. Why did she send me that letter? What could have made her do it? Little did he know that the rest of the gang had come up behind him and saw the look on his face.

"Tommy are you still thinking of her?" Kat asked.

"How could I not be thinking of her?" He replied. "There must be something wrong she would never have sent that to me unless something was wrong." He said in denial.

"Dude, Tommy you need to get over this." Rocky told him.

"Yeah I guess." Tommy muttered.

Kat knew that Tommy would never be all right unless he knew the truth, but she had swore not to tell.

Flashback

"Zordon do you know why Kim sent that letter to Tommy?" Kat asked.

"Yes Katherine I do, though the only thing can tell you is that Kimberly did it on her free will." Said Zordon in his big booming voice.

"May I use the teleportation device to go to Florida, so I can check on her?" Kat asked.

"Yes, you may as long as you tell no one about this."

"Of course.'

End Flashback

If only she knew what she was getting into that fateful day.

Flashback

"Kim. Are you here?'

Kat hears crying in the background and follows the noise. She sees Kim sleeping in a rocking chair and a baby crying in a crib. Kat noticed that Kim had bruises all over body and make a note to ask.

"Oh my gosh. Kim, Kim wake up."

"Kat what, wake why are you here?" Kim asks panicky. " Is any one else here?"

"Kim, calm down. No one else is here. I just came to see why you wrote The Letter."

At the mention of The Letter Kim's eyes started to flood with tears.

"I didn't want to, but I had to." Kimberly cried.

"Is she the reason why?" Kat motioned to the little girl whose name she did not know.

"Her name is Olivia, and she's only part of the reason." Kim whispered.

"Part of the reason? What's the other part?"

"Other parts not part. One of the other parts is Coach Schmidt he abuses us, you know hit, kicks if we do the littlest things; like mess a jump up or basically anything and the sick part is he likes it." Kim told Kat.

"That's why you have all those bruise."

Kim nodded her head.

"What's the other part?"

"You." Kim whispers.

"ME?" Kat yells

"I thought Tommy liked you more than me since I moved away."

"A little secret between you and me, I like Billy."

Then Kat's communicator beeps and Zordon comes on the line saying that there is a monster attack and that the team needs her.

"I've got to go." Kat says.

"Before you leave you have to promise me one thing."

"What's that?"

"Don't ever tell anyone, especially not Tommy."

"I swear."

"Oh yeah one more thing."

"Yeah?"

Good luck with Billy, don't hurt him." Kim smiles.

"Never."

Kat then teleports off.

End Flashback

After the fight Zordon called Katherine to the Command Center to see what she had learned. Tommy was trying to find Katherine to see why see was late to the fight. Tommy spots Katherine as soon as she teleports away and finds this strange. Tommy teleports right after her but accidentally pushes a wrong button and lands in a place hidden from Zordon and Kat's sight.

"Kat what did you find out about Kimberly?" Zordon booms.

Tommy has a shocked look on his face when he hears that Kat went to visit Kim.

" You won't believe what I found out. First her Coach hits her and the rest of the team for that matter. Any and every time they do something wrong. I guess the power withdrawal effected her more than we thought. She looks so thin and weak. I guess she couldn't fight back. The sick thing is he likes it. Kim has bruises all over her body."

Tommy gasped then quickly covered his mouth hoping no one heard him. He couldn't believe it! Why didn't Kim tell him? He teleported out of there and didn't care if anyone saw.

Kat that she saw a flash of red in her side vision, but must of been mistaken.

"Continue." Zordon said.

"Well Kim thought Tommy liked me since she left and we all know that's not true. The biggest part is that well she was pregnant with Tommy's baby and didn't want him to know." Kat explained.

"Why would she do a thing like that?"

"My guess is that she didn't want Tommy to quit his Rangering to help her."

Tommy didn't want to hear anymore, he teleported out and didn't care if anyone saw him. Kim …abused … coach. That was all that ran through his head. Kim …abused… coach. How could she have lied to me? Why, why would she do a thing? She knows I would have helped her. Maybe that's why she didn't tell me.I probably would have killed the guy. Oh wait I still will kill the guy.I got to go visit. NOW!

Before he left he called all the other rangers and Zordon with no hesitation at all for he had forgotten that Kat knew all about Kim and her situation. Imagine that.

"Hey guys, this is Tommy." He called into his communicator waiting for an answer.

"This is Jason."

"Is anyone there with you?"

"Everyone." Jason said this not knowing that Kat wasn't with them.

Kat had also heard this but wasn't able to answer before Tommy started talking.

"I'm going to Florida, I just learned new news about Kim. I have to go. If there is an emergency call me, only if it's any emergency.

"Go for it Tommy!" Jason encourages.

Tommy teleports off.

"Tommy wait!" Kat who heard the conversation at the Command Center yells.

"Kat what's wrong?" Billy asks worriedly.

"Tommy can't go after Kim. There were reasons that Kim broke up with Tommy. It's not like she wanted to, she had to."

"Why?" Asked Tanya.

"Kim had his baby." Kat explained.

"WHAT!" Kat heard everyone yelled.

"Come to the Command Center, and I'll tell you the rest."

The group teleported to the Command Center to here the rest of the story.

"A couple of weeks ago I went to visit Kim after The Letter, just to see why she wrote it. When I got there Kim was sleeping next to a crib. When she woke up she told me the baby's name is Olivia. She also told me that her Coach abuses her, I could see bruises all over her body. She didn't want Tommy to know because she didn't want Tommy to stop protecting the world. Then she told me that she thought Tommy liked me. I told her no way and that I liked someone else."

At the last statement she looked at Billy who blushed. Everyone picked up on this except Rocky. So of course Rocky went and asked, " Who do you like?" Tanya hit him and he finally noticed Billy blushing. "Oh." Everyone laughed including Zordon and Alpha tried.

All the sudden it dawned on Jason, who was like Kim's big brother, that Tommy was going to find out.

"We have to stop Tommy from finding out."

"It's to late Rangers." Alpha said.

"We have to try." Rocky said determinedly.

"Tommy already left, and you know it only takes a second to teleport, he's probably already there." Kat declares sadly.

"Kim's not going to take this well." Billy exclaims.

Meanwhile

"Kim, Kim where are you?" Tommy yells.

"Who's there?" Kim calls back. Crying can be heard in the background. Kim sees Tommy and faints.
