A/N I DO NOT OWN ANYTHING I ONLY OWN THIS PLOT! Ok guys, so...this is the last chapter. After this the story is over. So i want to thank everyone who reviewed and added me/my story to their alerts/favorites. You guys are the reason I write so thank you so so much. :) A big thanks to my beta Elena Rain but who also gave me the idea for the ending of this story! Also, I know some of you feel like Kimberly and Tommy leaving Grace at PT was wrong and that she should go back but I promise I had good reason for pulling them away from that. I have a special kind of PT planned for Kimberly that would give her something that Grace couldn't...you'll see what that is in this chapter. Enjoy:


He went over to the door and looked through the peek hole. He gasped. He opened the door. Kimberly stood up and was about to walk over to Tommy when she stood frozen in her tracks by who entered the house.

"Hello, Kimberly." A soft women's voice said.

"Mom…" Kimberly gasped.

"What are you doing here?" Tommy asked protectively.

"I've come to talk."

"I think you've said everything that day at the hospital."

"I made a mistake and said some really bad things but I've come to make up for it."

"I don't think there is anything you can say or do to make up for abandoning your daughter when she needed you the most."

"That's up to Kimberly to decide, isn't it?"

Tommy looked to Kimberly. She was frozen in her spot. He went over to her and gently stroked her hair.

"You don't have to talk to her if you don't want to. I'll support you whatever you want to do."

"I…I don't know, Tommy."

"I can make her leave. You don't have to talk to her."

"But…I…."

"If you do want to speak with her, I'll stay here with you."

"Promise?"

"Of course."

Kimberly nodded and looked to her mother. She took a deep breath and let it out. "You have ten minutes."

"Thank you."

Everyone moved into the living room and sat down.

"What do you want, Mom? If you suddenly grew a heart and want to help me you're a little late."

"I came to tell you how sorry I am. What I did and what I said was wrong. I know that, and I know I'll never be able to take it back but I am really truly 100% sorry."

"If it was so wrong why do it?"

"Honestly, I was in shock, and denial. I didn't want to believe that you were hurt badly that you'd never be able to do anything."

"But I wasn't. I came home and I got better. Now I can walk and I can hear. I may not be 100% but I'm a lot better than I was when you left. If you had believed in me and if you had been there to help you would have been able to see that I can do almost everything I used to be able to do. If you would have stayed you could have been there to help me take my first step without the wheel chair. You would have been able to see that I'm still the same girl I was before the fall. Yeah I didn't know that for a long time but I believe it now and I see it. My friends never gave up on me so please, tell me why my own mother did?"

"Because, because I blamed myself."

"Excuse me?" How could this have been your fault?"

"Because I wasn't there. Don't you remember?"

"Actually…my memory from that day is still fuzzy but I know enough to know that you being there had nothing to do with my fall. My hands slipped and I went down head first."

"So you don't remember the phone call we had?"

"Phone call?"

"Yeah, that night before I said I was coming in to watch you compete."

"That I remember, but, then what changed?"

"I called you that morning and said I couldn't make it because…"

"Because something else came up…." Kimberly said as she remembered the phone call in her head.

"Yeah, and you said you understood but I could hear it in your voice that you were upset."

Kimberly just shook her head. "But I still don't get it. How was it your fault?"

"You were distracted and your heart wasn't in it."

Kimberly laughed. "Mom, you've been missing my practice and competition since I was a little girl. I've learned to not count on you being there. My heart was in it 100% it was a freak accident."

"But if I had been there..."

"Mom, stop trying to make me pity you because I don't! You abandon me when I needed you the most. Tommy's mother was more of a mother to me than you were. She helped me shower and get dressed every morning with my cast. She never got angry when I misheard something she told me. She was there for me. Where were you? Off somewhere feeling bad for yourself?"

Caroline sighed. "I was waiting."

"For what? Pigs to fly?"

"For you to get better."

"I'm sorry, I'm a little confused." Tommy said. "You abandon your daughter, then wait for her to get better, then come back?"

"Yeah, something like that."

"Mom, just shut up, stop making up stories and tell me the truth, or get out of my house." Kimberly said angrily. "I'm tired of your lies!"

"Ok, fine, I planned this whole thing. I wanted you to fall, I wanted you to get hurt, I wanted your friends to help you get better, then I was going to come back and take you home where you belong, where you've always belonged."

"But, how did you know I was better?"

"Your friend , Carla Clark, I paid her big money to help me. She called Tommy and forwarded your e-mails of recovery to me. SO I knew when I could come home."

Kimberly swallowed a lump forming in her throat. She felt sick to her stomach. "But…how, I mean….how did you know I'd fall?"

"Kimberly, you fell because I paid someone to sabotage the bar."

"What?"

"I gave someone one hundred dollars to put oil on the bar right before you went on."

Kimberly heart started to race. There was a small break right before her turn which gave someone the perfect chance to oil up the bars. She could remembered the bar feeling weird but she had thought it was just sweat from her hands because she was nervous. She started to feel a bit short of breath.

"You could have killed her!" Tommy yelled.

"I knew she wouldn't die, just break a few bones. I didn't want her to do gymnastics anymore because of how much money we losing every month, plus I've always wanted her to pursue her singing career. Not some childish gymnastic."

"Some of the most memorable woman are gymnasts." Tommy said.

He knew Kimberly was too speechless to speak anymore.

"It doesn't matter, look, all that matters now is that you're better so now I can take you home with me where you will be going to producer after producer until we find one who likes you."

"You're not touching her. You have two choices, you can leave and never contact Kimberly again or I'm going to call the police and tell them what you did."

"You don't have a say."

"Oh no? Kimberly is legally an adult now. She doesn't have to live with you. Plus if I call the police you'll be changed with child endangerment. So either get out or I'm calling the cops."

Caroline looked to Kimberly. "You know you want to come home with me. You've always missed me haven't you? I know you have. I just wanted you back, Kimberly. Please, I need my daughter back. Please!"

Kimberly got up and left the room. Tommy glared at Caroline. "This is your last warning, get out or I'll call the police. "

"Look, I never meant to hurt anyone. I just wanted my daughter back. "

"Yeah, well you did hurt, someone, and you ended up losing your daughter so my advice to you, is get some help because you are seriously crazy if you believed doing this would get you Kimberly back."

Caroline sighed and nodded. She got up and left the house. Tommy closed the door and sighed. Things had finally started to look up and now this? Was Kimberly ever going to get a break? He sighed and followed after her. She was sitting on the steps about half way up. He sat next to her.

"Is your knee ok?" he asked.

She nodded. "It started to hurt so I just stopped and sat down before I fell."

"That was a good idea. Does it still hurt?"

She nodded.

He gently lifted her up and carried her back into the bedroom. He set her down on the bed and cuddled her close to his side.

"Do you want to talk about it?" he asked.

"I don't even know what to say about it."

"Well….not to sound like a shrink but how do you feel about it?"

Kimberly chuckled. "You do sound like a shrink."

Tommy kissed her head and chuckled. "Sorry."

She cuddled closer to him and buried her face into his chest. She inhaled his sent and looked up at him.

"I know I should feel hurt but….but I don't. I'm more angry than hurt. I mean, she could have killed me. There were always reports coming in about people falling head first off the high bars and breaking their necks. The very first time I heard that story I wouldn't go near the high bars for about a week. My coach was able to help me get over that fear but still. I could've broken my neck. I could've….I could have died, Tommy."

"I know, Beautiful, I know."

"I lost my hearing because of her, if it hadn't been for the surgery I wouldn't be able to hear anything. I'll never do gymnastics again because of her. I just…I…" Kimberly sighed. "She planned this who thing from the start. Even leaving me at the hospital, that was all part of her plan."

"But it didn't work."

"Yes it did, she got what she wanted. She wanted me out of gymnastics, she got her wish I'm out of gymnastics."

"Kim, you can still do some small things on the beam, maybe not as much as you used to be able to do, but she can still do some small tricks."

"I'll never be able to make a career out of it."

"OK, but you can also sing, or start a clothing line or something. Kimberly, you've got to remember, you are good at so much more than you realize. You can do more than just gymnastics. You can sing, you have the best fashion sense, you're great with animals and kids, you're so wonderful and so smart. You'll still be able to have a good career when you get older."

Kimberly smiled with tears in her eyes. "You always know what to say don't you?"

He smiled and kissed her nose. "I'm only telling you the truth. Plus you also have to remember that you've healed so much physically from your fall. You can hear again, you're able to walk around without the wheel chair or a cast. You've healed and you're moving on with your life. Tomorrow we can go down to the gym and try a few karate moves and see how it feels on the knee. I'll even spot you if you want to try walking on the beam. You can still do everything you used to do. You may not be able do it as fast or for as long as you did before but you can still do it. You're not useless, Kimberly. You can still do so much, even with your disability."

Kimberly nodded. "You're right. Tommy. I love you so much. Thank you for never letting me give up on myself."

"Anytime, Beautiful."

He kissed her lips and she kissed back. They passionately started to make out.


The next day everyone was at The Youth Center. Tommy, Jason, and Kimberly, were over by the sparring mats. Jason would do a move and Kimberly would copy him. Then Tommy would do a move and she'd copy him. Most of the moves were using the arms, only a select few were using her legs.

"How you feeling?" Tommy asked.

"Pretty good, a little breathless, but not too bad. I like doing this better than walking that stupid platform."

The boys chuckled. "You want to try an actual sparring match?" Jason asked.

She nodded.

"All right, do Jason first,"

Both Kimberly and Jason started to spar. Jason went easy on her at first but then he started for real and she was still winning. With one strong kick Kimberly had Jason on the ground. She giggled innocently.

"She's back." Tommy said.

She helped Jason up and smiled.

"My knee doesn't even hurt." Kimberly said. "I feel great!"

Both of the guys smiled. "Just take it easy, Kimberly. Don't push too hard, you don't want to risk hurting your knee."

She nodded.

"You feeling any better today?" Tommy asked. "Have you heard anymore from your mother?"

She shook her head. "I honestly don't want to hear anymore about what she has to say."

"I still can't believe she'd do this to you. Your father maybe, but never your mother."

Kimberly shrugged. "My parents hate me."

"You'll always have us." Jason said.

Kimberly smiled. "I know, and I love you both."

"We love you too."

Both Tommy and Jason sandwiched here in between them hugging her tightly.

"Guy….can't…breathe…" she gasped out.

They chuckled and released her. She giggled and her eyes caught the beam. Ever since her fall, all she wanted to do was get back up and walk across it again, even if it was just once. If she could walk across a plastic platform she could walk a balance beam right? Right!

Tommy took her hand. "Come on," he smiled. "I'll spot you."

She nodded and they both went over to the beam. She climbed up with ease and stood up balancing easily.

"How do you feel?" Tommy asked.

"Is where I belong." she answered with a smile.

"Do you want to walk a little bit?"

She nodded.

With her arms out she slowly and carefully walked across the beam. She had no fears or problem doing this on her own. She'd never be scared of the beam. She walked to the end and slowly turned around.

Tommy was right by her side. "How is your knee?"

"Sore, but I'm ok."

"Let's not push it too much, climb down."

She sighed and nodded. He new goal: make it back and forth on the beam without her knee burning in pain. Tommy helped her climbed down and hugged her close. "I told you, you're still the same girl you've always been."

They both started to walk over to the table to the others.

"You're wrong, Tommy. I'm not that same girl I've always been."

Everyone opened their mouth to object but she stopped them.

"I much, much, much, stronger than I used to be." she smiled.

Everyone smiled at her. She was right about that. She was not the same girl, she had come a long way since her fall and it had only made her stronger.

"I couldn't have done it without you guys, so thank you."

"We've got your back, Kimberly, always."

They all smiled at each other. Kimberly knew no matter what happen, what kind of drama she went through in life, her friends were always going to be there to help her through it.


A year and half later so much had changed. For one, Kimberly's knee had healed. It still got sore when she worked on it too much but she could do almost everything that she could do before. She had gotten more comfortable being in loud crowded situations, but mostly she had gotten her confidence back. She had finally become that strong, independent, women that everyone knew and loved.

Her mother had sent her a letter a few months after their encounter saying that she was getting help to try and figure out why she did what she did and how she could help herself to not make the same mistakes in the future.

Kimberly and Tommy were as close as ever, they were both so in love and so happy it was like the fairytale price charming Kimberly had always wanted. Little did she know that Tommy had something very special planned.


It all started one day at the command center. Tommy had called everyone to meet him there. He decided to start it off with saying "Kimberly, we need to talk…."

"Bad choice of starting words." Jason muttered.

He knew what Tommy was planning. Kimberly tensed. "O-ok…"

"Look, Kimberly…..from the very first moment I laid eyes on you, I knew that you were going to be my forever friend. I knew I wanted to spend the rest of my life getting to know you, finding out all the little things you do and all your favorites things. Now, years later, I realized that I've already learned so much about you and yet, every day I learn something new and every day I fall deeper and deeper in love with you. I want to continue to fall and I want to spend the rest of my life with you. Kimberly…."

He reached into his pocket to pull out a small box. Kimberly gasped and her eyes filled with tears. Tommy flipped the box open to revel a white gold band with a bright pink square diamond with small white flowers on both sides.

"Kimberly Ann Hart, My Beautiful Crane, will do me the honor of becoming my wife?"

"YES! YES YES! YES!" she screamed.

She dropped down to her knees and wrapped her arms around his neck and they kissed passionately. The other cheered for them. They both stood up and Tommy slipped the ring on her finger as she cried tears of joy and happiness.

"I love you so much, Tommy."

"I love you so much too, Kimberly."

They kissed passionately again. They pulled away and accepting all the hugs from their friends.

"You guys know what this means?" Kimberly asked with a smirk.

"Shopping!" all the girls said at once.

They boys groaned.

Kimberly giggled. "You have no idea what you've gotten yourself into Mr. Oliver, you have just released my inner bridazilla!"

"Bring it on, tough guy." He teased poking her stomach making her squeal.

Everyone laughed.

"Congratulations, Tommy and Kimberly, I am very happy for you both." Zordon said.

"Thanks, Zordon."

"Well, let's plan this wedding!" Trini squealed

Kimberly and Tommy nodded. Everything was going to be perfect. A sudden thought hit Kimberly and she frowned. She was about to get married and her mother wouldn't be there. It honestly hurt.

"Hey, what happen to that beautiful smile I love?" Tommy asked.

"Nothing, I'm fine." Kimberly lied. "Just thinking is all."

She smiled fakely at them. This was one thing she'd have to figure out on her own. The only way to fix this was to go confront her mother…alone.


The next day Kimberly went to the hospital where her mother was staying. She went to her mother's room and let out a deep breath. "I can do this."

She knocked on the door and poked her head inside.

"Hello?"

"Come in…"

Kimberly walked inside her mother was sitting on her bed writing in a journal.

"Kimberly, I'm surprised you're here."

"I know, honestly I am too but…we need to talk."

Caroline nodded. "You're right, please have a seat."

Kimberly sat down at the foot of her mother's bed.

"May I speak first?" Caroline asked.

Kimberly nodded.

"I'm sorry, I know that will never be enough. I did something truly horrible to you and I don't expect you to forgive me. But I really am truly sorry. I should have just been honest with you from the beginning."

Caroline took a deep breath and let it out. "Perrie cheated on me, and then he left me. After that I was alone and I hated it. I wanted you to come back to me, but then I realized that you weren't a little girl anymore and you had your whole life ahead of you. You were going to win the Pan Global and then go off to the Olympics and I just…I didn't know if I'd ever get a chance to see you again. So I did sometimes stupid and took that away from you. I thought once that was gone from your life you'd come back home and live with me. I know now how stupid that was but I was still upset over losing my husband and I just…I lost it big time."

"But, you didn't even want to take care of me. You abandon me."

"I know, and I could never figure out why I had done that. My doctor has really been helping me, she said that I didn't want you back so I could take care of you, I wanted you to come home and take care of me. "

"So you waited till I was better?" Kimberly asked.

Caroline nodded. "Now that I've had some time to think about it and talk it over with a professional, I understand how stupid and selfish I was being. I was wrong to do what I did and I don't expect you to ever forgive me but all I can say now is that I'm sorry."

"Thank you, I'm glad you see you're getting better. I can't forgive you right away. It will take time for me to be able to trust you again but, I'm going to allow you to try and earn it back. I want you back in my life Mom."

Caroline smiled softly. "Thank you, I don't deserve it."

"Mom, no matter what you do I'm always going to love you. You'll always be my mother. I just need time."

"I understand. Thank you for giving me a chance."

"If you remember, I went a little crazy after dad first left too. It's hard to lose someone that you love."

Caroline nodded. "My doctor said it's the reason I've tried so hard to get you back. I was scared of losing you just like I've lost everyone else."

Kimberly nodded. "You're getting better, and I promise you that you'll never lose me."

They shared a hug.

"Now, tell, me what's going on in your life?" Caroline asked.

"That's why I'm here actually….Um…would you be able to get away for a few hours."

"Yeah, I should be, why? Where am I going?"

"To a wedding…to my wedding"

Caroline's eyes went wide. "You're getting married?"

"To Tommy."

"Oh honey, that's wonderful I'm so happy for you!"

"Thank you, I am so happy too. It would really mean a lot to me if you could come."

"Of course I'll be there; I wouldn't miss it for the world."

"Do you think you could….I mean if it's ok would you mind…."

"What, Honey?"

"Could you give me away?"

"Oh , Kimberly, yes! Of course."

Both of them had tears in their eyes as they hugged each other tightly. They still had a long way to go but Kimberly and her mother were back to being friends again, just the way Kimberly wanted it.


After months and months of planning it was time for the wedding. Kimberly sat in the room letting all the girls and her mom gush over her hair and makeup. She was so excited she could hardly contain herself. Billy had even managed to hook up a small camera so Zordon and Alpha could watch it from the command center. When it was time Caroline walked Kimberly down the aisle and over to Tommy. Once he got there Kimberly and her mother walked over to Tommy.

"Who gives this woman to this man?" The Pastor asked.

"I do." Caroline said.

She let go of Kimberly's arm and sat next to Tommy's parents. Kimberly got up with Tommy and smiled. Tommy took her hands in his.

"The rings please." The Pastor said.

Tommy gave one ring to Kimberly and kept one for himself.

"Now Tommy place the ring on Kimberly's finger and say 'With this ring I thy wed.'"

Tommy slid the ring to Kimberly's shaking hand and spoke "With this ring I thy wed"

"Now Kimberly place the ring on Tommy's finger and say 'With this ring I thy wed.'"

Kimberly slid the ring on Tommy's finger and said "With this ring I thy wed"

"Do you Tommy Oliver take Kimberly Hart to be your wife? Through sickness and health for richer or poorer as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

"Do you Kimberly Hart take Tommy Oliver to be your husband? Through sickness and health for richer or poorer as long as you both shall live?"

"I do."

Kimberly and Tommy smiled at each lovingly.

"I now pronounce you husband and wife. You may kiss the bride."

Tommy pulled Kimberly into his arms and kissed her on the lips deeply. They pulled back needing air. Then they turned to the others.

"Ladies and Gentlemen I give you Mr. and Mrs. Oliver!"

Everyone cheered as they ran out of the church and into their limo. Even after everything they had been through, between being power rangers and then Kimberly's injury, they had both finally gotten their happily ever after.


A/N Ok, so wow, could that ending have been any more cheesy? What do you expect from a hopeless romantic like me? ;) Anyway, that is the end. I hope you all understand now why Kimberly had to leave Grace for her PT. I posted a picture of the rings on my facebook page if you want to see them. So, leave me a review what do you think?

Also, writing the wedding scene gave me a cool idea for a one shot, about Kimberly and Tommy getting married but Kimberly's parents can't stand being in the same room with each so it causes problems and how Tommy is able to help Kimberly overcome her fears and stand up to her parents to make them stop. If you like that idea let me know. If not, this is the end. I don't have any other power ranger story ideas planned at this time.

However if you happen to be a fan of the tv show Wildfire I will be writing some Wildfire stories that I'd love for you to read. If not, I guess this is goodbye for now. :'(
