Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - Love Is Series, Heather Ray [which ebook reader TXT] 📗

"He's really a great guy," Kim continued, "He's so nice, funny, sweet, charming, handsome..." her voice lowered with each word, as she studied Tommy's reaction. Her eyes widened when he raised his head quickly, and gazed out at the lake, avoiding her gaze. She was shocked to see tears in his eyes. Could... could he still love me?

Meanwhile, Tommy focused on a duck on the lake, doing his best not to let Kimberly see his wet eyes. Why was she telling him how wonderful her new boyfriend is? Was she trying to torment him?

Chapter Six

Un-break my heart
Say you love me again
Un-do this hurt that you caused
When you walked out the door
And walked out of my life
Un-cry these tears
I've cried so many, many nights
Un-break my...

They remained silent for a few moments. Tommy took a deep breath, praying his voice wouldn't crack.

"Sounds like you've bagged a great guy," Tommy said, "I'm sure you'll be very happy with him."

"That's... that's what all my friends tell me," Kim admitted, folding her arms, and turning her entire body towards the lake. The breeze picked up slightly, causing her caramel locks to dance in the wind gently. Tommy bit his lower lip as he watched her from the corner of his eye. This was torture!

"Everyone is happy for me," Kim said quietly, salty tears forming in her eyes. There was a moment of silence, and she took a deep breath. "But... I'm not happy."

Tommy turned around slowly, and noticed the tears in her eyes. He desperately wanted to wipe the tears from her eyes gently, and wrap his arms around her, promising he'd never let anyone or anything hurt her. It took all the willpower he possessed to refrain from touching her.

"Tommy," Kim said in a voice just above a whisper, "Trevor is truly a great guy. I guess I should love him. But, I don't. I just can't."

She wiped the tears from her eyes, and continued, not daring to turn around and look Tommy in the eye.

"When Trev graduated about two weeks ago, he took me out for dinner and dancing. I'll admit, we both had a terrific time. When he brought me home, he told me how much he'd miss me over the summer, and said that he loved me so much, he'd wait for me to follow my dream to its end. He... he got down on one knee, and... he pulled a small velvet box from his blazer pocket."

Kimberly was crying outright now, and she needed to take a moment to compose herself. "He, asked me if I would someday become his wife," she whispered, "Whenever I was ready, of course. We're both young and all, but he wanted to make sure I understood exactly how he felt about me before he left the next morning. He's such a shy guy... it took every ounce of courage in his body to offer me the ring. But, I couldn't take it. I thought I loved him, I really, really

did! But, I couldn't imagine spending my entire life with him. He's a great guy, and a fantastic friend. He's one of the few close friends I had in Miami. But no matter how much people tried to convince me of the opposite, I just didn't love him. I... I had to turn him down. I felt horrible..."

Tommy couldn't hold back anymore. He turned Kimberly around, and lifted her chin with his hand. He gazed into her eyes, and they both regarded the tears that were shining. Kimberly wrapped her arms around Tommy's waist, and dried her cheeks in his shirt. Tommy was at first surprised by her action, but he hugged her warmly, stroking her back and resting his chin on her hair. It felt good to hold her again.

Chapter Seven

Un-break my heart
Oh baby
Come back and say you love me
Un-break my heart
Sweet darling
Without you I just can't go on...

"Tommy," Kim whispered, "I'm... I'm sorry I sent that letter. Believe it or not, I just wanted you to be happy."

"But I was happy," he answered her, not letting go, "I was happy being with you."

"But you weren't with me! We were separated my three-thousand miles! I... I knew you'd never do anything to hurt me, even if it was for your own good. I... I suspected you loved Katherine, and I knew she was attracted to you. I thought the only thing keeping you two apart was me."

"What gave you that idea?" asked Tommy, absolutely astounded. He couldn't believe how far from the truth that statement was.

"Well, she's everything I'm not," Kim admitted, "She's tall, beautiful, glamorous and sophisticated. Who wouldn't love her?"

"I wouldn't," Tommy said, gently pushing Kim away so he could look into her eyes, "After you sent me the letter, Kat did everything in her power to make me feel better. After a few months, I actually believed I was starting to get over you, and starting to love her. But, I was only fooling myself. Recently, I realized I could never love anyone but you."

A faint smile crossed Kimberly's lips. "Really?"

"Absolutely," Tommy admitted, returning the smile, "God, Kim, you don't know how much I've missed you."

"Can you ever forgive me for being so stupid?" Kim asked, hypnotized by his warm hazel eyes.

"I could never hold anything against you, Kim," he said truthfully, touching her cheek, "I love you too much."

"And I love you."

Epilogue

Say that you love me
Say that you love me
Tell me you love me
Un-break my...

Ever so slowly, Kimberly rose to her toes, and Tommy leaned over. They both closed their eyes, and as their lips touched, all the loneliness and pain they both felt over the past few months just evaporated. All the wondering, and dreaming about what could have been stopped. All the guilt and confusion disappeared. The dreams they didn't even dare to dream have come true, and as they held each other, lips pressed together gently and warmly, they both knew everything would work out for them. They had a bright future. Together.

Say that you love me
Say that you love me
Tell me you love me
Un-break my heart...

Power Rangers

When the threat of Earth being taken over by Rita Repulsa arose after she was freed from her dumpster prison on the Moon, a wise old sage named Zordon, who had established a Command Center in Angel Grove, recruited five teenagers to assume the power of the Morphing Grid to defend the planet as Power Rangers - Jason, Zack, Kimberly, Billy, and Trini. When the battle escalated, they would call on their individual assault vehicles named Zords and destroy the monsters who threatened peace in Angel Grove, all while trying to live normal lives as high school students.

The Rangers have gone through many roster, Zord, and power changes. Rita gave the Dragon Coin to a new student at Angel Grove High- Tommy, who fought against the Rangers as the evil Green Ranger, and later joined the team once the spell over him was broken. Tommy eventually lost his powers as the Green Ranger and gained new powers as the White Ranger.

To defeat Lord Zedd, who arrived to take over Rita's task, the Rangers needed to upgrade their Dinozords into Thunderzords, and later bring back Tommy as the White Ranger. Shortly after, Jason, Zack and Trini left for Switzerland to attend a peace conference, and left their powers to three allies of the Rangers- Rocky, Adam and Aisha, who became the new Red, Yellow, and Black Rangers.

When the team lost their powers after an attack by Rita's brother Rito, the Rangers took a trip to the Temple of
