CHAPTER 1

I DON’T OWN POWER RANGERS

“Ah here I am in Angel Grove and a fresh start” 16 year old Tommy Oliver says stepping off the bus. He has a suit case in each hand and a tired smile on his face. He was coming to live with his Uncle Ray that owned a dojo in town. Before he had lived with his parents in Stone Canyon in a not so healthy environment. His father was a heavy drinking and would often beat him and his mother. His mother was not any better since she was a heavy drug user. Tommy had to learn at a young age how to fend for himself. If it had not been for his father getting arrested for robbing a man then killing him. And his mother running off somewhere. His uncle would never have known what was going on at his brother in-law’s house. His uncle as far as he knew had never been to his home. He had only seen his uncle when they went to visit him or his grandparent.

Tommy let out a sigh and looked around for his uncle. He should have been there by now to pick up Tommy. Tommy’s stomach growled at this point reminding him he had not had breakfast since leaving the group home he had gone to for the night until they were able to get a hold of his uncle. Tommy spotted a youth center across the street and thought about running over there right quick and grabbing something to go. But he thought better of it not wanting to be not there when his uncle showed. As Tommy was turning away from the center he heard a scream and turned back around. He saw to guys a big one and a skinny one picking on a girl in pink.

Tommy saw that the bigger one had one of his hands on one of her wrists. She was trashing about trying to get away from him. Not stopping to think Tommy raced across the street barley avoiding getting hit by cars. Once he is near the two thugs he shouts. “Hey leave her alone” the two turn around to face him. The girl also turns around. Tommy can see fear and tears in the young girls beautiful doe brown eyes. “Who are you and where do you get off telling us what to do” the bigger one asks. “Looks like a chump Bulky” the smaller one says. “Let her go now or you will be sorry” Tommy growls at them. Bulk let’s go of Kim and charges at Tommy. Tommy easily avoids Bulk’s punch and hits him in the stomach then once in the face.

Bulk at once falls down to the ground in pain. Skull rushes to Bulk’s side and helps him up. The two flee before Tommy can do anymore to them. Tommy watches them go and shakes his head. He then turns his attention to the girl in pink walking up to her he asks. “You ok” he then gently grabs her wrist and looks it over. “Yeah I’m fine thinks those two are always trying stuff to get to me” the girl tells him. “I’m Kim by the way Kimberly Hart. “Tommy Tommy Truheart”. Tommy almost cringes when he says the last part. A part of him tells him he should not lie to her and tell her his real last name. But he did not want people to judge him by what his father had done. It had been on the news all over the place and Tommy did not want to be reminded of it.

Before either one can say more they hear someone calling out for Tommy. They turn around and see an older man that looked a lot like Tommy come running up to them. “I was starting to get worried nephew you were not at the bus stop like you were suppose to” he told Tommy. “It’s my fault sir he came to my aid when two thugs started giving me trouble” Kim tells the man. “Good job nephew I’m proud of you. I’m Ray Truheart” “Kimberly Hart” Kim introduces herself shaking the man’s hand. All of a sudden something clicked in Kim’s mind. “Are you the Ray Truheart that owns a dojo in town” Kim asks. “Why yes I am I even thought Tommy everything he knows” Ray says rapping one arm around Tommy. “You have also taught my friends Jason Scott, Zack Taylor and Billy Cranston” Kim tells him with a smile.

Those are some good guys” Ray says with a smile. “Yep they are the best they are pretty protective of me and my friend Trini. We love them to death but they can sometimes go a little over protective” Kim tells him. All of a sudden Tommy’s stomach rumbles again and he blushes while Kim giggles. “Why don’t we get you something to eat here then I will show you around town nephew” Ray tells him.

“Your new to town? Where are you going to school?” Kim asks him. “I start Angel Grove high tomorrow” Tommy tells her. “You have got to totally let me show you around school tomorrow I know you will love it there. The teachers for the most part are good and the principle is pretty nice too unless you are a trouble maker then he watches you like a hawk” Kim tells him. “Where is you parents” Kim asks all of a sudden. Tommy looks down at the ground and Kim feels like she has done something stupid. “I’m sorry” Kim tells him. “Its ok my parents were not that great I had a rough home life so I came to live with my uncle” Tommy tells her.

“Kimberly nods her head in understanding. One of her best friends in third grade had a bad home life. Child services finally had to step in and take her away. My friends are inside come in I want you to meet them I know you will love them” Kim says happily. Tommy nods his head and Kim grabs his arm dragging him inside. Ray just shakes his head and smiles following them inside. He had not been here an hour and he already had a girl on his arm. He was so proud of him.
