A/N I DON'T OWN ANYTHING! Ok everyone this is the final chapter for To Tell or not To Tell and the end of the True Friends series. Thanks for all the reviews and alerts. Look out for my next story coming soon. More information on it at the both. Until then back to the story
Back with the other Jason's communicator went off.
"What's up" he asked as he fought.
"Jason Kimberly is in trouble leave the monster to the others you and Tommy go help her" Zordon said.
"Right I'm on" Jason said. "TOMMY KIM NEED US" Jason shouted.
They both ran over. Kim was on the floor. She looked so still they thought she was dead. The fought off the putties and ran over to her.
"Kim hey beautiful you ok" Tommy asked?
"Tommy my back they attacked my back" Kimberly said in tears.
Tommy pulled her closer and kissed her and held her in his arms.
Jason lifted up the back end of her shirt.
"Oh man Kim…Tommy we have to get her back to the command center" Jason said.
"Where's Alex" Tommy asked?
"Command Center" Kimberly said once she stopped crying.
"He figured out that we were the power ranger and plus we were under attack and I couldn't protect him so I sent him to Zordon" Kimberly said she tried to sit up on her own. She squeezed her eyes closed as she did trying to ignore the pain in her back.
"Guys" Trini called our and she and the other ran over to them.
"We defeated the monster" Zack said.
"Good we got to get back" Jason said.
With that they teleported back.
Once they got back they had Alpha check out Kim's back.
"Ranger I spoke to Alex and he has promised to keep the secret. He is in another room right now" Zordon said.
"He is hurt" Tommy asked?
"No Tommy Kimberly used her body as a human shield to protect him" Zordon said.
"Please Zordon it was no big deal. It's my job" Kimberly said.
"It was your job" Zordon said.
Everyone froze.
"Wha…what do you mean was" Kimberly asked?
"I'm afraid that until your back heals you will only be able to battle when you are really needed" Zordon said.
Kimberly sighed.
"Ok Zordon. I'm sorry" Kimberly said.
"Kimberly you have no need to be sorry it was not your fault" Tommy said.
"I agree with Tommy in the mean time ranger head on back to the park" Zordon said.
They grabbed Alex and headed back to the park.
That night Kim's mom had given Alex a bath and tucked him in. Then Kimberly came into tell him stories of the power rangers. He fell asleep. He then began to dream. He had a lot of dreams some good…some not so good. The first dream he had he was fighting side by side with the rangers as the amber one. Then he was at home and his had was holding him above his head.
"The Alex plane is taking off" he said as he ran around the house.
"Uh-oh we are running onto some bad weather this might get bumpy" he said again and he bounced his son up and down listening to him giggling. He ran into the living room and put Alex on the couch.
"The Alex plane has landed safely" his father said as he began tickling his son
. He giggled and giggled. Then all of a sudden his father was drunk and instead of tickling him he was hitting him. He woke up with a scream. Then Kimberly came running in.
"Alex you ok" she asked as she sat on his bed.
"No I had a bad dream. Where's Tommy" he asked?
"Tommy is at his home sleeping" Kimberly said.
"I want my big brother" Alex said.
"Ok I'll call him" Kimberly said.
"Tommy come in" she said into her communicator.
"Kimberly I love you but why are you calling me at 3:00 in the morning" asked Tommy?
"I'm sorry but Alex wants his big brother" Kimberly said.
Tommy felt his heart in his stomach. "Ok I'm on my way" Tommy said.
There was a flash of light and Tommy was in the room.
"Hey Buddy you ok" Tommy asked?
"No Tommy I had a bad dream…well a good dream but then it got bad" Alex said.
"Tommy my daddy was happy again and he was playing with me just like he used to. Why wasn't that real" Alex asked himself as he cried. Tommy pulled him into his arms.
"Hey Shhhhhh buddy it's ok" Tommy said.
"Alex I had dreams like that all the time" Kimberly said.
"You did why" asked Alex?
"I went through what you did" Kimberly said. Alex sat up.
"You're the girl Tommy was talking about" asked Alex?
"Yeah you know what I did when I had those dreams" Kimberly asked?
"Sleep with Tommy" Alex guessed.
Kimberly smiled and blushed. Tommy did the same.
"You're the one with cooties" Alex added? Kimberly laughed. "I don't have cooties" she said. "Oh well how did you get the dreams to go away" Alex asked?
"Alex what you have to relies is that you have no control over what happen and there was nothing you could have done to stop this. You have to think about those dreams as a sign. When your daddy gets out of the doctors you guys will…" then it hit her like a ton of bricks. "You will be a happy family again" she said. She felt her eyes fill with tears. She put on a fake smile and said "Uh-oh I need to use the bathroom I'll be right back" she said.
Tommy knew that it was her fake smile.
"See Buddy why don't you go back to sleep ok" Tommy said.
"Ok Tommy" Alex said and he did. Tommy went to find Kimberly.
Kimberly was in her room looking at a picture with the tears hit the frame.
"Hey Beautiful those tear don't fit you" he said.
She quickly dried her tears and looked at him.
"What are you doing here? Is Alex ok" she asked?
"Yeah he is fine" Tommy said. "I think the question Beautiful is are you ok" Tommy added. "Yeah I'm fine" Kimberly lied.
"The advice you gave to Alex was that really meant for him or were you just trying to get yourself to believe it" Tommy said as he wrapped his arms around her.
"Both. Then it hit me Tommy. After my father get out of rehab we can be a family again. I mean after all they broke up because of what my father said when he was drunk" Kimberly said.
"Kim I wouldn't get your hopes up" Tommy said.
"Tommy, why not? It's a no brainer. I mean it all had to do with him being drunk" Kimberly said.
"Look Beautiful I should get back home. I just don't want to see you hurt again" Tommy said.
They shared a kiss on the lips and he left. Kimberly went to sleep thinking about her happy family.
The next day at the youth center everyone was hanging out. Tommy and Alex were working on their karate. Kim was on the beam Trini was watching and the rest were also working on karate. They finished up and got drinks and met at the table.
"Kimberly I saw you working on the beam you're really good" Alex said.
"Well thanks Alex" Kimberly said.
"My mommy was a gymnastic person too" Alex added?
"Really wow that's awesome" Kimberly said.
"Hey Alex if you don't mind me asking, what happen to your mommy" Zack asked?
"My daddy said she left the day after I was born. But he showed be pictures and told me lot's of stories like when they first met. That's my favorite" Alex said.
"Why how did they meet" asked Kimberly.
"In high school. Daddy said these bullies were picking on mommy and he came and stopped them. He was new to the school so she was the first one he met. Then she asked him to hang out with some of her friends after school. He said it was love at first sight" Alex said.
Tommy and Kim smiled at each other
. "Did you daddy show up after school" asked Zack?
"No something came up but it's ok because my mommy forgave my daddy" Alex said.
Tommy and Kim blushed. The others laughed.
"What's so funny" Alex asked?
"That's how Tommy and Kimberly met" Jason said.
"Really. That's funny" Alex said.
Then he thought about something and asked "Kimberly why do mommies and daddies break up"?
"I don't know. I wish I knew" Kimberly said.
"But you said your mommy and daddy broke up. Why did they" Alex asked?
Kimberly looked at Tommy. She really didn't want to answer that question.
"It's a long story sweetie but um…things always work out in the end. Plus I know that my parents love me" Kimberly said as she looked back at Alex.
Then they heard a voice "Parents don't you mean parent"?
"Oh no" Kimberly groaned.
"I don't like them Tommy they are mean to me" Alex said.
"Bulk and Skull" Trini said as the two boy came over to their table.
"Kimberly you only have a parent so why do you says parents. In fact why not just say mom" Skull said.
Kimberly leaned back in her chair. "Can you guys please just leave us alone for once" Kimberly begged.
"No that's no fun. Sorry Kimmie I guess we weren't fast enough at UN masking the rangers for them to talk to your dad" Bulk said.
"Guys I don't care just go away" Kimberly said.
"Guys don't mess with her. She is not pretty when she is mad" Alex said.
"How do you know? Does she take after her father and hit you" Skull asked?
Kimberly fits started shacking. She wanted so bad to just beat them up. "
No she is a nice lady" Alex said.
"We're sorry about what happen in court Kim. Who knew your dad would go so far as to hit you with his belt" Bulk said.
"Yeah we saw it on the news" Skull said.
Kimberly put her hand over her communicator and was thinking of teleporting out. Tommy noticed and put his hand on hers. She looked at him. He smiled at her.
"Look Bulk Skull if you don't leave us alone I will make you" Jason said.
"I guess some parents just don't love their kids enough to stop drinking" Bulk said.
"BULK SHUT THE HECK UP" Kimberly said.
She put her hand back on the communicator. Tommy placed his hand on hers again.
"Don't do it Kim" he said.
Tommy saw a tear fall from her eyes and knew that they were getting to her.
"Hey I heard the story of your parent's kid. They met they same way Kim and Tommy did and looked how they ended up. Then look at Kim's parents. That can only mean that Kim's future with any man is doomed" Bulk said again.
"Ok look Bulk we made her cry" Skull said.
Tommy gave a slight tug on Kim's arm. She went over a sat on his lap. She put her head into his shoulder. Tommy kissed her cheek.
"Don't listen to them" he said.
Kimberly nodded and took her face out of his shoulder. Then Skull took off his belt.
"You scared" Skull asked?
Kimberly didn't say anything. Skull brought the belt closer to her. Tommy felt her body tense up, he and the other saw all the color leave her face. Then Alex got an idea. He went over to skull and pulled his pants down reveling his pink underwear. Everyone cracked up laughing. Bulk and skull ran out of the youth center. The others just laughed and laughed.
"Alex you should never do that to someone" Jason said as he tried to stop his laughter.
"But he made Kimberly cry" Alex said.
Everyone looked over at Tommy. Kim had her face in his shoulder. They couldn't tell if she was laughing or crying.
"Tommy is she ok" Jason asked?
"I'm fine Jason" Kimberly said.
Then Jason took some money out of his pocket.
"Hey Alex why don't you take this and go play some games" Jason said.
"Ok thanks Jason" Alex said and he left the table.
"Kim are you ok" Jason asked again?
"Jason I'm fine. My parents are going to get back together after this whole nightmare is over with" Kimberly said. "I'm going to going get a refill" she added and got up and walked away. "Tommy what did she mean by that did she hear something" Jason asked?
"Yeah she heard her heart. She totally believes that when her dad gets out of rehab her parents will get back together. I don't know Jase I don't want to tell her yes but then I hate telling her no" Tommy said.
"I think we just have to wait and see what happens, man" Jason said.
"Hey let's go to the park" Trini said.
"Ok sounds good" they others said.
They grabbed Kimberly and Alex and headed for the park.
At the park Alex was on the play ground and the other were hanging out talking when Kimberly's cell phone rang.
"Hello" she answered.
"Wow Kimmie cub you have no idea how long I've waited to hear your beautiful voice again" her father said on the other line.
"Dad oh my gosh! How are you? When are you coming home" she asked?
"Whoa, once question at a time. First off I only have a few minutes there are others needing to use the phone it's a long story I'll tell when I get out but I am doing a lot better than I used to. I am not sure when I am coming home but I just wanted to call and say hello" her father said.
Kimberly's face lit up.
"Dad I missed you so much I can't wait till you come home then you, mom and I can be the one big happy family you always said we would be" Kimberly said.
"Kimberly sweetie we need to talk about that" her father said.
Kimberly got up from where she was and walked away.
"I fear it may finally be sinking in" Billy said.
"What" they all asked?
"Her parents' divorce. I think that's why she left. Her father was telling her what she didn't want to hear" Billy said.
"I think she left because her daddy was talking about loving Tommy and he she got embarrassed and left" Alex said as he came over.
"You are so silly" Tommy said as he tickled Alex's belly. Alex giggled.
Then Kimberly came back over to them, her friends could tell she was close to crying.
"Um…Alex I have someone on the phone who wants to talk to you" Kimberly said.
Alex took the phone.
"DADDY" he screamed in joy.
Kimberly stood frozen in her stop not moving and not looking at her friends knowing one look and the water works would start. She took deep breaths and bit down on her lower lips to keep from crying.
"Daddy I love you too. Ok bye daddy" Alex said. "Kimberly "my daddy and your daddy are becoming best friend"
. "Yeah sweetie I know…um I going to go for a walk. I'll be back" Kimberly said as she walked away.
"Did I say something wrong" Alex asked?
"No she just needs to be alone right now why don't you go back and play" Jason said.
"Ok" Alex said as he walked away.
"Did you guys see her face" asked Tommy almost ready to cry.
"Yeah bro just let her be" Jason said.
The Tommy got a feeling Kim really needed him and without saying anything got up and walked away knowing where she was.
At their spot Kim was sitting on one of the rocks crying. Tommy didn't say anything he just went over to her and wrapped his arms around her allowing her to fall in his arms and just cry.
"Tommy don't ever leave me. I don't care if we stay boyfriend and girl friend just please don't ever leave me as a friend I couldn't handle that" Kimberly said as she cried.
"Shhhhhh Beautiful I will never leave you a couple or not. I will never leave you" Tommy said as he rubbed her back up and down.
He gave her a kiss on the head before repeating
"I will never leave you Kimberly never".
Kimberly was soon able to deal with her parents' divorce. After a few more months both Kimberly's and Alex's dad were released from rehab and aloud to see their children. Their father never picked up another alcoholic drink again. Tommy and Kim stay together and Jason and Trini started dating before soon becoming a couple. Kimberly knew it was finally over.
A/N Yay a happy ending. I am making another story called "Where she belongs" IN this story Kim gets turned evil by Rita but does so much damage that when she is turned back she can't forgive herself and leaves the team. Will the rangers get her back? Only one way to find out. It should be out tomorrow. Keep an eye out for it.
