taking time to think;

Kimberly walked around the padded floor and tried to clear her mind. She let out a deep breath and raised her hands dramatically. With one more deep breath she sent her herself flying across the gym floor in a series of back flips that ended with her on her feet.

Gymnastics had always helped Kimberly get to a better place back home. And it would surely work here as well. She repeated the act of back flips but this time added a spin before the last one. There was nothing like tumbling through the air. It was a rush, a full on thrill that nothing compared. Except for maybe the whole ranger thing.

As she again did her back flips, spins, and added kart-wheels and it almost felt like home. Like she was back in Ernie's juice bar practicing along with Jason, Trini, Zach, Billy and Tommy. But she knew she wasn't.

Now under normal circumstances, Dustin would be happy about there being another Power Ranger on board but the past few days his thoughts came to the recent mission and what came of it. There had to have been a better way of handling the situation. Dustin felt the same as many on the group: they were people clones or not. So he was surprised when he saw the original Pink Ranger show up in the sensorium.

"Oh. I'm Dustin, Billy might have mentioned me before. That was pretty impressive."

Kimberly smiled at the guy who walked in. Dustin? The name sounded familiar but it was fairly common. "I'm Kimberly. But I guess you've already figured that out." She held out her hand with the same smile she used whenever she met someone new. It was warm, inviting and friendly.

"So, Dustin. Are you a..?" Her voice trailed off a little. Why did she find it hard to say the words? "Power Ranger.. too?" She was still used to the secret identity thing.

Dustin chuckled a little bit. None of the Rangers on his team was exactly shy and quiet. Trent kind of was, if what Cam had told him back home was true... Anyway, he just greeted Kimberly warmly.

"Yep. I bet Billy already told you about the other Rangers here right?"

Kimberly nodded at first as she fixed her ponytail that bounced above her head. "I just haven't met everyone." Billy was supposed get a group meeting together at some point.

"I know that there are rangers that Billy developed and some that are natural rangers.. so to speak. Which are you?" She asked. She wanted to know the rangers that came from her world. Kimberly thought they might have more in common. Not the new Stacy Force rangers were so different.
