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.

"Newish now." But still new, right? She dusted off her hand and put it forward. "I'm Kimberly" She said with a grin as she introduced herself.

New friends were always good to meet.

He smiled back. "Zouichi. Nice to meet you. I hope you haven't been finding this ship too, um. Different. It's not much like Earth."

It was different. Way different. Too different for her to put into words. But Kimberly wouldn't let it show in her face. "Well, I'm used to this sort of stuff" it wasn't a lie.

Being a Power Ranger has introduced her to evil aliens, a floating head and a robot. So, this was just a magnified version of that.

"You're used to flying around the multiverse in a ship made of meat? My condolences." Zouichi had a pretty dim view of the ship in general. At best, it ferried them around under dubious orders. At worst, it burped up crazed, flesh-eating zombie aliens.

"It's a little too damp for me."

"Well... when you put it that way" When he said it, it sounded really gross to be living here. Kimberly's smile faded a little but she tried to keep up her act. "I just.. I mean it's not that bad.." Though it kind of was.

Oh, an optimist. Zouichi held up a hand. "No, you're right. I guess there are worse things than trying to save all of existence. Most people would agree that's a pretty good cause."

Kimberly began to bite on the inside of cheek as she though of what to say. "I'm used to trying save all of existence. Or at least Angel Grove." She smiled again as finally found a topic to stick to.

"I even fight of evil aliens on a daily basis. Sometimes twice a day"

He raised an eyebrow. "Twice a day? That's an awful lot of evil aliens. What do they want with Angel Grove, anyway? Better shopping malls?"

"I wouldn't put it past them" Kimberly said giving a little laugh. "As far as I know they want to take over the world. My friends and I were chosen by Zordon, who's this giant floating head. To protect it." Gosh it seemed like just yesterday they were picked to fight against Rita.
