Tommy stepped into the shower at the arena where he, Adam, and Jason had just won a huge match, and had gathered the money to save Justin’s Orphanage. He still wasn’t sure why Justin was in an orphanage, as Justin’s Dad was still alive, just not in town. Tommy shrugged, not in the correct frame of mine to contemplate such things at the moment. Mostly... because of her.
It started out as them trying to save Lerigot from Divatox. Then, Divatox had captured the two people Tommy cared about most; his best friend and brother in spirit Jason Lee, and his former love Kimberly Hart. Tommy, along with the other Rangers, were able to save them, but not before Kim and Jason had been “sacrificed” to... whatever monster that Divatox had tried to raise from below. That had turned them both evil, wanting nothing more then to hurt Tommy and his friends. Luckily, Lerigot and his family had been able to reverse the spell they were under.
He met her backstage
She was supposed to be just another girl for the night
But there was something in her smile
That stopped his breath
She made everything make sense
Tommy walked to the lockers which held his clothes, knowing that he was the last person there. Adam and Jason had already left, and he was to meet them at the Juice Bar for a round of victory shakes and smoothies. The last person he expected to see, as he walked around the corner in nothing but a towel, was Kim Hart. “Kimberly?”
“Hi, Tommy,” she said, a soft smile on her lips. “I was wondering if we could talk?”
Tommy smiled back, unable to control himself. Even in the months since she had sent him “that letter”, neither one of them had talked, and there was much left unspoken between them. “Sure. Umm...” he started to say, looking down at his current state of undress.
Kim smiled, blushing. In all the time they had dated, she had never seen him... quite that way. Sure, they had swam together and whatnot, but never when they only thing between them was a towel. “Why don’t I step outside, and let you get composed.”
Tommy nodded, and turned around as Kim walked out of the door. He quickly changed, and, on a spur of the moment thought, contacted Adam via his communicator, letting him know that something had come up, and he’d be there later.
After the lights go down
And after the screams go dead
Her voice still echoes in his head
After the lights go down
And after the lust and fame
His heart still beats to the sound of her name
He walked out a few moments later, and saw her leaning against the wall, whistling to herself as she waited. She turned towards him as he closed the door, and lightly hugged him. “I’ve missed you, Tommy,” she said softly. “So, where do we want to go?” she asked suddenly, letting Tommy go, her cheeks turning a decidedly cute shade of pink.
“Well, I told the guys I’d meet them later at the Juice Bar, and if you wanted to talk... I figured you’d want to go someplace a little more private.”
Kim nodded, taking a step back to clear room for him to start walking. She quickly fill in next to him as they walked down the hallway.
The rest of that day and night seemed a blur to Tommy. Walking with Kim to the park, to “their spot”. Listening to her explain why she had sent the letter. Something about not wanting to tie him down with a girlfriend who wasn’t there. About not really meeting someone else. Taking her to eat at her favorite restaurant afterwards as a way of making a fresh start. Going to drop her off at her hotel room afterwards. Getting asked in for awhile. He and Kim finally taking that one step they never had.
Sometimes he wakes up
Calling out for the one good thing he let go
In a lonely hotel room he tries to relive that night
And to see her smiling for him
Tommy woke up in a sweat. He hadn’t dreamt of that night for years. He had gone to college after a short stint on his Uncle’s race crew, and had become a doctor of Paleontology. He’d even formed his own crew of Power Rangers. Good kids, too, he thought to himself. He glanced at the clock. His alarm was set to go off any minute now, so he might as well get up.
That day, he was walking from his class room to his jeep, when he saw a familiar, caramel-haired woman walking with a young boy. The boy had shoulder length dark hair, pulled back into a pony tail, similar to the one he had so long ago. “Kim?” he called out.
She turned towards the voice calling to her. No, please not now, she thought. “Tommy?”
Years later he sees her
But when he sees her ring
His words escape
And he doesn't say he still tastes her kiss
And she's to scared to say
That her child's eyes are his
