True Colors
By Dana

Kimberly Hart walked into the Youth Center and saw her boyfriend sitting at a table by himself. The sadness that was in his eyes was almost enough to make Kim cry. She approached the table and sat down. “Tommy.” She said quietly placing her hand on his. There was a song playing in the background.

You with the sad eyes

Don't be discouraged
Oh I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people
You can lose sight of it all
And the darkness inside you
Can make you feel so small

Kim knew that all that Lord Zedd had done to Tommy since he took over was enough to make Tommy feel small. Only to the fact that he hated being left out. She wished he would talk to her though.

But I see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

Tommy weakly smiled but it didn’t remain. “Hi Kim.” He said and looked back down at his smoothly.

“Tommy I just want you to know that everyone is worried about you. We all want to help.”

“Kim we all knew it was going to happen and it did. Lord Zedd has been trying to steal my powers since he took over Rita’s palace and he did. Sometimes I wish I had never come to Angel Grove.”

Kim was shocked by all of this. “But Tommy…” She started to say but he just shrugged her off.

Show me a smile then,
Don't be unhappy, can't remember
When I last saw you laughing

“Tommy I know you’re hurting and I want you to know we’re all here for you. Okay?” She asked.

If this world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

You call me up
Because you know I'll be there

Tommy didn’t say anything. Kim continued. “We all care Tommy. I want to be there for you. You can talk to me anytime Tommy. I’ll be there for you.”

And I'll see your true colors
Shining through
I see your true colors
And that's why I love you
So don't be afraid to let them show
Your true colors
True colors are beautiful,
Like a rainbow

“Okay Kim.” Tommy finally smiled.

There was that smile that made Kim fall in love. She wanted to hug him and tell him everything was going to be all right. “Are you still planning to go to your Uncle’s cabin?”

“Yeah. Just to think. Thanks for this talk Kim.” Tommy said and watched as the others walked into the room.

Kim sat back and watched him. Tommy did have problems letting others know what he was thinking but when he showed it that’s what made Kim love him.
