What If Kimberly and Kat Were on the Same Team?

[TMC]

Kimberly Hart and Kat Hillard were treated like a clean swap: one Pink Ranger leaves, the next one steps in, and the show moves on. But what if Mighty Morphin Power Rangers had let them overlap for a full season?

In this MorphinBack what-if, we look at how Kimberly and Kat being teammates could have changed Kat's redemption arc, Tommy's relationships, the infamous Dear John letter, and the emotional setup for Power Rangers Zeo. This is not just a "Kimberly stays" story. It is about what happens when the show is forced to treat Kimberly and Kat as two separate characters instead of one Pink Ranger slot.

Question for the comments: if Kimberly and Kat had spent a full season as teammates, do you think they would have become genuine friends, or would Kat's history as Rita's spy have stayed under the surface?
