radio. Tommy absently listens to the song, as images of him and Kimberly float through his mind.



Chapter One



They say it's a river, that circles the Earth.
A beam of light shining to the edge of the universe.
It conquers all,
It changes everything.



The first image that Tommy saw was when he first met Kimberly. It was his first day in Angel Grove high, and after a few minutes of watching her from a distance, Tommy approached her. He introduced himself, and he distinctly remembered Kimberly's pearly white smile, after he'd agreed to meet her and her friends in the Juice Bar. He knew, the moment his eyes met hers, that his life was going to change dramatically, and he could never go back.

Chapter Two



They say its a blessing... they say its a gift.
They say its a miracle and I believe that it is.
It conquers all,
But its a mystery...



Then, Tommy remembered the day before his first dance at Angel Grove. He had been practicing with Zack at the Youth Center, when the subject seemed to turn to the dance. Tommy admitted he couldn't bring himself to ask Kimberly to the dance, and he clearly remembered Zack's attempt to demonstrate the ease of asking a girl out by trying to impress Angela with some skilled dance moves. Of course, Zack failed to win over Angela, but Tommy did build the nerve to ask Kim. And to his utter shock and blissful delight, she agreed, and they shared their first kiss.


Chapter Three



Love breaks your heart.
Love takes no less than everything.
Love makes it hard,
And it fades away... so easily.



After the dance, Tommy really began to feel the loss of his Green Ranger powers. So, he distanced himself from his friends, and spent a great deal of time thinking in his uncle's cabin, or at the cliffs near Angel Grove. Tommy always regretted not spending more time with Kimberly, in an effort to develop their budding relationship. But, he allowed himself to drown in self-hatred and pity, and distanced himself from his loved ones. To this day, Tommy is grateful that Kimberly was so patient with him. She let him have his space, without feeling rejected, and eagerly welcomed him back to the fold when he was ready.

Chapter Four



In this world we've created, in this place that we live,
In the bleak of the night and the darkness of sin,
Love lights the world.
Unites the lovers for eternity...



Not long after Tommy's restoration to the Power Rangers, his Green Ranger powers once again began to weaken. Because of this, he was constantly being targeted by first Rita Repulsa, and then Lord Zedd. Many times, Tommy feared that he was endangering Kim and the others by spending time with them. In the terrible few weeks after Lord Zedd arrived, when Tommy's powers slowly disintegrated, Tommy could've easily fallen into depression. His friends gained new Thunderzords and new powers, but Tommy wasn't strong enough to join them. Tommy felt he was a liability to the team, and a constant magnet for trouble. Losing the Green Ranger powers the second time was almost a relief, because he was released from the burden of always being the target. Once again, he left the Power Rangers. But this time, he didn't regress into self-loathing. He knew he made a sacrifice for his friends, and he took some comfort in that. He left Angel Grove to once again sort out his life, but he knew his friends were waiting for him back home. He knew Kimberly was waiting for him.

Chapter Five



Love breaks the chains,
Love aches for every one of us.
Love takes the tears and the pain
And it turns it into the beauty that remains...



As Tommy drifted to sleep, another image came to mind, and brought a smile to his face. It was early evening on a beautiful tropical island in the Pacific Ocean, where he and Kimberly spoke for the first time since they broke up. At first, both of them stood in an awkward silence, gazing out at the ocean. Kimberly stood by the ocean, letting the gentle waves touch her sandaled feet. Tommy remembers just standing behind her, watching her silently as the sea breezes weaved through her caramel hair. He knew he couldn't utter a single word at that moment, since he had absolutely no idea what he would say. Fortunately for him, Kimberly took the initiative, and started the conversation that led to both of them baring their pained souls. In the end, they both realized how much in love they still were, and reconciled. But no matter how much in love they are, there is one undeniable fact--they are separated by duty. One is the Queen of an entire nation, the other is the leader of the most powerful force on Earth.



Chapter Six



Look at this place.
It was paradise, but now its dying.
Afraid of love...
I'll take my chances that its not too late...



"Tommy?" said a quiet voice, "Honey, are you asleep?"

Tommy opened his eyes, and turned around to see his mother peeking in from behind a partially closed door.

"I was," he said, sitting up and stretching his arms.

"But its six! Shouldn't you be getting ready for the prom? You should be dressed by now!"

"Mom," sighed Tommy, "I told you the other day that I'm not going."

Tommy turned to his mother, and saw a confused look on her face.

"But, there's a young lady here to see you. She said she was your date, so I assumed you'd changed your mind."

Chapter Seven



Love breaks your heart.
Love takes no less than everything.
Love makes it hard,
And it fades away... so easily.



"Who is she?" asked Tommy, standing up.

"I don't know her, but she said her name was Kerri. She's waiting in the living room, but if you'd like me to, I'll tell her you're not going --"

"That's okay, Mom. I'll handle this," said Tommy, walking past his mother and walking down the stairs.
