Dedication

How can I say this enough? Thank you to everyone that has kept up with all my books! You all are awesome! When I started adapting my fanfiction to these books, I was just doing it in order to introduce the Power Rangers to a new generation and to also help reluctant young readers to find a new love for reading. But I have found out that with each new book there is resounding success! Thank you all so much!

Author's Note

True love is something so rare many people never experience it. When I refer to true love, I don't simply mean an emotional connection, or even an exchange of vows. I mean a union of souls, a dedication to each other that is so complete, they might as well be a single person.

When a love like this is found, it must be celebrated. And that is the purpose of this tribute... to celebrate the romance of two young individuals who's love for one another grew into something so powerful, it changed their lives. I am referring to Tommy Oliver, and Kimberly Hart: the original Power Couple. Each story is written to a song, which I feel aptly describes what's happening through the various stages of their romance.

This fanfic takes place right after "A Different Shade of Pink"

. The lyrics are from Mariah Carey's song "Butterfly"

. I love the feel of this song so much, I just couldn't resist writing a fanfic to it.

Prologue

It's early morning in Angel Grove California, and the dawn sun peeks over the horizon. A young man wakes up with the sun, and stretches. He glances at the clock, and realizes that for once in his life, he's not late. This day has been a long time coming -- it's been over a week since she first set her sights on meeting Coach Gunther Schmidt, well aware that he's presently assembling his Pan-Global gymnastics team. Tommy had a funny feeling for the past few days that a big change was just over the horizon. And its happening right now. For now, he's getting ready to drive his love, Kimberly Hart, to the airport. She's going to Florida, and neither of them knows when she's coming back.

Chapter One

When you love someone so deeply
They become your life
It's easy to succumb to overwhelming fears inside
Blindly I imagined I could
Keep you under glass
Now I understand to hold you
I must open my hands
And watch you rise

Kim and Tommy have been going out for months now, and it seemed that every day, they were a little closer. They spent so much time together, sometimes doing things, but most of the time doing nothing at all. Just enjoying each other's presence. That's something Tommy is going to miss horribly. He can't spend every waking hour with a woman who lives over three-thousand miles away. As Tommy walks to his white jeep, he stares out at the reddish-orange sun, and sighs.

"Well, I knew this day would come eventually," he said to himself, fishing in his pocket for his car keys, "Its not like she was going to stay here in Angel Grove forever. If she didn't go to Florida now, it would be moving to Paris in a few months. Her mother gave her permission to finish up high school, and then she'd leave, clear across the Atlantic. Maybe this way, we can slowly get used to being apart. At least she'll be in the same country. Man, my next phone bill will be murder!"

Chapter Two

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

Tommy pulls out of his driveway, and onto the sleeping streets of Angel Grove. While he drives, he recalls a conversation he had with Kimberly two nights before. It was the night she gave up her Power Coin to Katherine, and decided that she was going to study under Coach Schmidt. That evening, Tommy decided to take Kimberly out to a fancy dinner, to congratulate her, and wish her well. Mostly, he just wanted to spend some time with her, just the two of them, before she left for good.

That night, Kimberly was dressed in a simple short pink tank dress, with her hair lightly kissing her shoulders in soft curls. She looked simply gorgeous that night, and Tommy had to stay strong, to make sure she understands that he's happy for her, even though he's crushed inside. He'd rather do anything than say goodbye to Kimberly. But, its not his decision to make. He couldn't live with himself if he thought he was the reason why she didn't pursue her dreams. She's a mature adult, and this is the chance of a lifetime. No one in her right mind would pass up the opportunity to fulfill this childhood dream, one that she never quite let go of. And Tommy knew that she'd succeed. The only problem was how much he would miss her.

Chapter Three

I have learned that beauty
Has to flourish in the light
Wild horses run unbridled
Or their spirit dies
You have given me the courage
To be all that I can
And truly feel your heart will
Lead you back to me when you're
Ready to land

The dinner itself went well, with both of them reminiscing the fun times. They remembered when the met, and how awkward they both felt about being in love, but not knowing how to express that. They even spoke about their early days as Power Rangers, back when Trini, Zack, and Jason were on the team. But, they had left Angel Grove, in order to seek out what they wanted out of life. Now its Kimberly's turn.

By the time dessert came, Kimberly had become very quiet and pensive. Tommy could tell immediately something was bothering her, because she's usually the most energetic, talkative person on the planet.

"Kim," he asked, "what's wrong?"

Kimberly looked up into his hazel eyes, and sighed. "Well, I guess... I'm scared. Its so hard saying goodbye to everything and everyone I've ever loved. I... I don't know if I can do this..."

"Kim," said Tommy, reaching across the table and taking her hand, "you are the strongest woman I know. You can do anything you set your mind to. You've done it before, and you can do it again. I mean, just look at your amazing recovery! Who would believe that yesterday, you were in the hospital?"

Kim laughed weakly. "Yeah, I guess it is hard to believe, isn't it."

"You're a survivor, Kimberly. You'll be fine."

"But, how do I know I'm making the right decision? I'm so confused..."

"You want to compete in the Pan-Globals, right?"

"Yes..."

"So, what else is there to think about?"

"You."

Tommy stayed silent, and let go of her hand. Kim looked into his eyes pleadingly, and Tommy could feel his resolve fading.

"Tommy, I love you," she said quietly, but assuredly, "I love you more than anything, including gymnastics. If you tell me to stay, then I'll stay. In a heartbeat."

Tommy remained quiet for a few moments, lost in the golden brown glimmer of Kimberly's eyes. He wanted her to stay with him forever, and never to leave him. But, he couldn't hold her back. This was her chance to fulfill her dreams. She had to go, to live her life to the fullest. No matter how much it hurt them both, it was for their own good. She has the abilities to reach for the stars. Nothing should hold her back. Not even love.

"Kim," he said finally, "you've dreamed about going to the Pan-Globals all your life. You should take advantage of your chance!"

"So, you want me to go," she said woodenly.

Tommy was hurt by her statement. "Never, Kim," he whispered gently, "I'd never want you to leave me. But, just because you're going to Florida, it doesn't mean we can't still be together. I mean, you can always come back, with that gold medal around your neck. I'm going to miss you terribly, but I'm going to be right there beside you, cheering you on."

Chapter Four

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

This is the chance of a lifetime,

he thought as he drove to the Campbell residence, If she doesn't go now, she'd spend the rest of her life wondering whether or not she was really good enough to compete in an international meet. She'd always wonder whether or not she would've won the gold. And I'd never be able to forgive myself for tying her down. She's gotta be free, and go where destiny will take her. Besides, its not like she can't come back to me.

Tommy stopped rationalizing as he pulled into the driveway. He knew that, no matter how many great reasons he could list for Kim moving away, it wouldn't in any way lessen the pain he's feeling. Not having Kim in his daily life was going to be something he needed to get used to, although he'd rather not have been faced with this situation. He put on a false smile to hide his burning frustration as the front door opened, and Kimberly and Aisha stepped out, both carrying suitcases. They both waved as Tommy put the car in park, and walked to help them.

"Hi, Tommy," said Kim with a warm smile, standing on her toes to wrap her arms around him. She gently kissed his cheek. Aisha smiled and waved to him.

"You'd better get moving," said Aisha, glancing at her watch, "Your flight is in less than an hour."

"Right," said Kim, handing Tommy a suitcase. The three friends walked to the car, and stuffed all the luggage into the back. Once that was done, Kim turned to Aisha. "I'm going to miss you so much!" she sighed, hugging Aisha tightly, "Tell your folks for me again how grateful I am for them letting me stay with you guys the past few months."

"Its no problem," said Aisha, "I really liked having a sister. Call me!"

"You know I will," Kim said, as Tommy opened the passenger seat for her. Then, Tommy walked around the front of the car to the driver's side.

"Take care, Tommy," said Aisha, "I'll see you later."

"Bye, Aisha," he said, and entered his car. He honked the horn as the jeep pulled out of the driveway, and onto the street. Aisha continued to wave, and once the car was out of sight, she put her hands into the pockets of her yellow robe and went back into her house.

"He's taking this whole thing alot better than I thought he would," she said, "Man, its going to be pretty quiet around here from now on."

Chapter Five

I can't pretend these tears
Aren't overflowing steadily
I can't prevent this hurt from
Almost overtaking me
But I will stand and say goodbye
For you'll never be mine
Until you know the way it feels to fly

"So, are you sure you have everything," Tommy joked, glancing at the numerous boxes and suitcases in the back through the rear view mirror. Kimberly giggled.

"Well, I hope so," she said, "If not, I can always come back."

"Right," he said. They remained in an uncomfortable silence for a few minutes. Both of them knew there was much unsaid, but neither knew just how to express all the feelings they've been having recently. Or even if they should. Kimberly looked out the side window, towards the sun.

"The sun rises in the east, right?" she said, breaking the silence.

"Yep," said Tommy, "You're going to have to wake up a few hours earlier in the East Coast. There's a three-hour time difference."

"I'm sure I'll get used to it," she said with a sigh, "Eventually."

Kim continued to stare up at the sun, burning bright in the distance. Tommy stole a glance, and noticed how the yellow-orange light brought out the gold highlights in Kim's caramel hair. He then turned his focus back to the road.

"Its not too late, you know," Kim whispered.

"What do you mean?"

"Say the word, and I'll stay. I mean it. I don't want to leave you..."

"Kim, we've talked about this," said Tommy with a sigh. It was hard enough for him telling her to leave the other night. Telling her again would be doubly hard. Infinitely hard.

"I know, but I've been having second thoughts," Kim continued, "There are a lot of reasons to go to Florida, and I've weighed them against the reasons staying here. The scales are tipped to Florida, but then, I add you to the scale. And it tips again, to staying here."

"If you stay here, just because of me, I'd feel horrible. Like I've held you back. You've got to realize your potential. You've got to take the chance. You're doing this for yourself, and I'm behind you one-hundred percent."

"You're sure?"

"Absolutely."

Chapter Six

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

Kimberly took a seat by the gate, where her plane would be boarding in a few minutes. She held onto her carry-on tightly, and looked up to the ceiling. Tommy sat down beside her.

"You don't have to wait with me, you know," she said.

"I know, but every minute counts."

Kim leaned her head on Tommy's shoulder, and closed her eyes. "I'm going to miss this most of all."

"What?"

"Being near you. We can still talk on the phone when I leave, but I won't be able to look deep into those amazing eyes of yours, or touch your hand. I'm going to miss that."

"When will you be able to visit?" asked Tommy.

"I don't know. Whenever Coach Schmidt gives us a few days off, I'll be on the first flight to Angel Grove. I swear it."

"Maybe my parents will let me spend a few days in Miami," suggested Tommy.

"Hopefully Zedd and Rita will give you some time off!" laughed Kim, "Its hard getting away when you're a Power Ranger. But I guess I don't have to worry about that anymore..."

Tommy noticed the hint of sadness in her voice, and touched her hand. "There's always a spot for you on the team, Kim. You'll always be a Power Ranger. And you heard what Zordon said-- when you come back, your experience and training will have increased your skills, making you an even better ranger."

^Flight 530, direct from Angel Grove California to Miami Florida, now boarding at Gate 11,^ said a voice on the intercom. Kimberly rose to her feet.

"Well, that's my flight," she said, "Is this Casablanca, or what?"

"Well, 'here's looking at you, Kid,' " said Tommy, as he leaned over and gently kissed Kim's lips. Kim wrapped her arms around his neck and held on for dear life.

"I guess this is goodbye," she whispered into his chest.

"Call me the minute you get in," said Tommy.

"Always so protective, eh?" she said with a smile. They let go, and Kimberly picked up her carry on. She kissed Tommy again on the lips, and boarded the plane.

"Goodbye, Beautiful," he whispered as he watched her disappear inside the plane, "Don't forget me."

Epilogue

Spread your wings and prepare to fly
For you have become a butterfly
Fly abandonedly into the sun
If you should return to me
We truly were meant to be
So spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

Tommy watched from the large window of the airport as the 747 Kimberly was on pulled away, and onto the runway. He sighed deeply as the plane pulled off the runway, and rose into the sky. It continued to rise, and Tommy watched it with his eyes as the plane grew smaller and smaller, as it soared eastward, towards Florida. Towards the sun.

So flutter through the sky
Butterfly
Spread your wings and fly
Butterfly

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.

As Red Ranger, Jason gained enhanced strength, speed, and durability. His tactical knowledge and fighting skill make him the ultimate Ranger. Jason closely follows the rules of Martial Arts, and promotes discipline and making friends out of enemies. It is this attitude that got him chosen to represent Angel Grove at the World Teen Summit, a peace conference in Switzerland he attended, leaving the Rangers.

He returned to Angel Grove years later to take on the powers of an injured alien, becoming the Gold Ranger. After the alien reclaimed his powers, Jason was powerless once again, but was able to return years later as the Red Ranger for a special mission in which 10 Red Rangers joined forces to stop the Machine Empire from destroying Earth with Serpentera.

Using this power, they could all transform into the Ninja Rangers, then morph into Power Rangers and take command of the Ninja Zords. The Pink Ninja Ranger has heightened strength, speed, and durability.

With it, Tommy morphed into the Green Ranger and fought the Power Rangers, defeating them in a couple of battles. Tommy was given the Sword of Darkness to finish off the Rangers, but Jason defeated Green Ranger in combat and destroyed the Sword of Darkness, releasing the spell over Tommy, making him the newest Power Ranger. Green Ranger's power weapon is the Dragon Dagger, which doubles as a flute and plays music to summon the Dragonzord. As Green Ranger, Tommy gained enhanced strength, speed, and durability as well as limited energy projection. Green Ranger also wore a special shield around his chest which protected him from many attacks. Tommy is a bit forgetful and dim-witted at times, but he more than makes up for it with his nobility and courage. Tommy eventually lost his powers after Rita created a Green Candle that took his powers away as it burned down. After losing their Power Coins, the Rangers called on Tommy to once again become the Green Ranger by using the Dragon Coin and Zordon's energy. The powers were only temporary, and Tommy once again lost his powers as Green Ranger.

Tommy would later be given new powers by Zordon, making him the White Ranger. After losing these powers to Lord Zedd and Rita, he used the Zeo Crystal to become the Red Zeo Ranger. Another power upgrade later made him the Red Turbo Ranger, powers which he eventually passed on to a successor, TJ.

Black Ranger's power weapon is the Power Axe, which doubles as a powerful cannon. His weapon combined with the others to form the Power Blaster. As Black Ranger, Adam gained enhanced strength, speed, durability, and limited energy projection. His powers were lost after Goldar and Rito destroyed the Power Coins after Master Vile had turned the Rangers into children. Since then, Adam became the Green Zeo Ranger, and later the Green Turbo Ranger, before giving his place to Carlos. He returned to help his successor as the Black Ranger, using his morpher without a Power Coin, risking his life.

When Rita Repulsa's brother, Rito Revolto, came to Earth, he succeeded in destroying the Thunderzords and the Rangers' powers. The six teens had to travel to the Temple of Power, where the legendary warrior Ninjor gave them all the power of Ninja. Using this power, they could all transform into the Ninja Rangers, then morph into Power Rangers and take command of the Ninja Zords. The Black Ninja Ranger has heightened strength, speed, and durability. He also has the powers of ground swimming, line of sight teleportation, phasing, multiplication, energy projection, hypnotic persuasion, and many other "ninja magic"

powers. Presumably, all Ninja Rangers have the same powers, although not each one has demonstrated all of them.

Master Vile once used the Orb of Doom to revert the Rangers into powerless children. To restore their ages, and obtain new powers, the children had to each retrieve a Zeo crystal.

Adam was sent to Korea to obtain his from a wise old man named Kyogi.

Spirited and full of energy, Aisha was always up to the challenge as a Power Ranger. She met the Power Rangers on a trip to Angel Grove, where she competed in the Ninja Competition along with Rocky and Adam. Aisha and her friends assisted the Rangers in the rescue of a baby in danger. She continued assisting the Rangers when they needed it, proving herself a formidable replacement for Trini as the Yellow Ranger. Trini left Aisha her powers by transferring them to her with the Sword of Light. Yellow Ranger's power weapons are the Power Daggers, powerful blades used for defense and for throwing. Her weapons combined with the others to form the Power Blaster. As Yellow Ranger, Aisha gained enhanced strength, speed, durability, and limited energy projection. Her Yellow Ranger powers were lost when Master Vile turned the team into children, and Goldar destroyed the Power Coins. Upon retrieving the Yellow Zeo Crystal, she sent Tanya back to the team in her place, and stayed in Africa to help the animals.

Pink Power Ranger, Pink Ninja Ranger
Weapons:

Power Bow, Blade Blaster
Gear:

Wrist Communicator, Power Morpher with Power Coin, Metallic Armor, Pink Shark Cycle

Kat is mature and sophisticated beyond her years. She recently came to Angel Grove from Australia, only to be captured by Rita and placed under a spell. Kat befriended the Rangers, and got close enough to steal the Falconzord and Kimberly's Power Coin. Her memories of being good broke the spell, and she became an ally, retrieving Kimberly's coin, which quickly became her own once Kimberly decided to leave for Florida and pass the coin to Kat, so that she would become the new Pink Ranger. Kat maintained a partial telepathic link with Rita, a lingering effect of the spell she was once under. Pink Ranger's power weapon is the Power Bow, which can shoot either normal or energized arrows. Her weapon combined with the others to form the Power Blaster. As Pink Ranger, Kat gained enhanced strength, speed, and durability as well as limited energy projection.

Kat lost her powers when Master Vile turned her and the other Rangers into children and destroyed the Power Coins. Using the Zeo Crystal, she became the Pink Zeo Ranger, and later on upgraded to Turbo Powers, which she eventually passed on to a successor, Cassie.

When Kimberly had to leave the Rangers to train for the Pan Global Games, she left with villain-turned-ally Katherine the power of the Pink Ninja, which she had received from Ninjor on a dangerous journey with her team-mates to the Temple of Power. The Pink Ninja Ranger has heightened strength, speed, and durability. She also has the powers of ground swimming, line of sight teleportation, phasing, multiplication, energy projection, hypnotic persuasion, and many other "ninja magic" powers. Presumably, all Ninja Rangers have the same powers, although not each one has demonstrated all of them.

Master Vile once used the Orb of Doom to revert the Rangers into powerless children. To restore their ages, and obtain new powers, the children had to each retrieve a Zeo crystal.

Kat obtained her crystal in Australia, where she was tested for goodness of heart.

is unknown.

Lord Zedd

Disgusted at Rita's performance at attempting to conquer Earth, Zedd came to the Moon himself to get rid of Rita and do the job right himself, but would also be unsuccessful.

Zedd was finally turned good, along with Rita, by Zordon's energy wave in Power Rangers in Space

. He also received a human form.

Rito Revolto

He brought to Zedd and Rita some Tengas and a Vampirus Monster as a wedding present. Rito was destroyed by Zordon's energy wave in Power Rangers in Space

Master Vile

Master Vile is one of the universe's great evils. He paid a visit to his daughter Rita, and brought with him a special food which would enhance the Tengas' powers.

Master Vile was destroyed by Zordon's energy wave in Power Rangers in Space

.

Putty Patrol

Putties are the expendable warriors made of clay who are sent down to Earth to wear down the Rangers before a monster fight, as well as for sabotage and special missions.

Cyclopsis

Serpentera was left buried on the moon, unused for years until remnants of the Machine Empire unearthed it. They equipped it with a neo-plutonium reactor, and plotted to use it to destroy Earth. As Serpentera made its way towards Earth, it was destroyed by Cole, the Red Wild Force Ranger, using the Wild Force Rider.
