Mighty Morphin Power Rangers - Love Is Series, Heather Ray [bill gates books to read .txt] 📗

about this. He knew Kat loved him-- since she said so only two weeks prior-- but he didn't know how deeply in love the young Australian woman was. Her answer was misleading once again. She flashed him a warm, although false, smile. The smile seemed to assure the Red Ranger that everything was fine. Kat seemed to be genuinely happy that Tommy had finally found the love he was lacking. The love Kat herself just couldn't seem to provide. No matter how much she had wanted to.

The group settled down for a round of smoothies, compliments of Ernie, in celebration of Kimberly's homecoming, and her restored relationship with Tommy. Katherine excused herself, on the basis that her mother had asked her to start cooking dinner for the family. After another happy wave of goodbyes and good-wishes, Katherine leisurely left the Youth Center. She strolled down the sidewalk, holding her head high in case someone was watching from behind. After only about a block, however, Katherine suddenly felt deprived of strength. As if she depleted all her willpower by holding back her emotions long enough to get safely out of the Youth Center. Her entire body began to tremble, and the tears began to flow unabedded. Finally, she gave up, and discreetly slipped between two buildings. After making sure there were no witnesses, she vanished in a streak of rose light, only to reappear at the doorstep of her home milliseconds later.



Epilogue

Ever since I met you
You're the only love I've known
And I can't forget you
So I must face it all alone

She continued to cry for half an hour. She remained in that position -- on her knees just by the front door -- for that entire time span, before finally mustering the strength to drag herself up to her bedroom. Once there, she collapsed into a boneless heap upon her bed, and stared at the ceiling. Her tears were all shed, and she barely had the strength to breathe comfortably. All the crying caused her head to pound, and her face to itch. She once again pulled herself from the bed, intending on washing her face in the bathroom, and taking some pain relievers.

On her way out the door, she glanced at her dresser. Sitting atop the dark wood, in a golden frame propped beside her jewelry box, was a photograph. It was taken only days before the infamous dinner two weeks ago, and it displayed Kat and Tommy, side by side, in front of Rocky's house. Kat and Tommy had offered to help Rocky wash his family's minivan, and in this photograph, taken by one of Rocky's younger siblings, the couple was laughing, and shielding their faces from a spray of cold water. Rocky had decided to turn the hose on his friends, much to his own merriment. Later, Rocky gave both Kat and Tommy copies of the photo. It was the only photo of the couple together, without the other rangers present. Even though it wasn't obvious from the image that they were a couple, to Kat it seemed to display their relationship quite well -- casual.

Kat's nostalgic smile fell into a frown when she once again realized her situation. No matter how much she wished it otherwise, she and Tommy would never be that happy couple again. Maybe they never really were. Maybe Kat was just deluding herself, believing Tommy had feelings for her when in fact he didn't.

In frustration, Kat picked up the photograph, and slipped it into her dresser drawer. By accident, a torn photograph fell out of that drawer, and fluttered to the lush pink carpet like a leaf in the breeze. Kat shook her head as she gazed at the photograph. It was a half a picture, depicting Tommy walking in the park, a joyful smile on his face. Kat felt compelled to search through her dresser, until she found the crumpled other half. That half displayed Kimberly, just as happy and energetic as Tommy. As fresh tears formed in her red eyes, Kat held the two halves together. She gazed at the pair -- and more specifically the joy that was evident in their faces -- for a few moments. Then, finally, she lay the two halves on her dresser, and continued to the bathroom.

All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Wishing you'd come back to me
And that's all that matters now
All at once, I'm drifting on a lonely sea
Holding on to memories
And it hurts me more than you know
So much more than it shows
All at once...

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 Power, where Ninjor gave them new powers and Ninja Zords, which were later joined by the Shogun Zords.

Kimberly's departure to train for the Pan Global Games paved the way for Katherine, who took her place as the Pink Ranger. The Rangers' Power Coins were stolen by Goldar, and destroyed by Rita and Zedd, putting an end to the Power Rangers as we knew them, and setting forth the events that would transform them into Zeo Rangers.
