"The Zack-man is back!" Zack announced as he opened the door of the apartment, followed by Jason and Angela who were laughing slightly. The three were greeted warmly and everyone immediately began catching up on the past few years. After 15 minutes, there was a polite knock on the door and it opened to reveal Billy and Trini.
"Hello!" Trini beamed.
"Seasons greetings" waved Billy. Many hugs followed, as well as Zack informing the others that Angela knew about the Rangers- so everyone was free to tell stories of old adventures. Two minutes later Tanya walked in. Jason in particular had been captivated by the former yellow ranger. More greetings followed, including introductions with the original team who hadn't met her.
"Oh yeah!" Trini shouted randomly. "Wouldn't be Christmas without this" She dug through her purse and pulled out some mistletoe, hanging it in the doorway.
As Trini was hanging the mistletoe, Adam and Kim were in the elevator of the apartment building. They walked down the hall hearing only their footsteps. As they approuched the door, Kim pointed up, noticing the green.
"Mistletoe" She said coyly, with a little blush.
"I uh, I don't know Kim.." ~I have to break that shyness..~ Kim mused.
"Adam, relax..and kiss me"
Adam smiled. He leaned down and their lips met, but he pulled away, labeling it nothing but a peck.
"You had you're chance shy one." Kim grabbed the collar of his shirt and pulled him into a fiery kiss. His hands found their way around her waist and hers had released his collar and were now crossed behind his neck- hugging him closer.
"I'm telling you guys, I heard someone out here" Rocky's voice drifted from the other side of the door. The knob turned and the whole former ranger group stared at the sight before them. Tommy especially, this was NOT how he had expected to see his ex for the first time in years.
"Ehem" Rocky moved closer to the two, they broke the kiss finally realizing there was an audiance and both blushed bright red. They didn't know where the kiss came from either..it just happened really, wow was there going to be some talking going on later.
"You two done yet or should we go back inside for a few minutes?" Rocky teased. Kim swatted his arm and everyone walked inside. After a few minutes, they seperated into groups, girls on one side- guys on the other.
"SO what was that kiss about?" Trini nudged Kim, who blushed again.
"Yeah really, something going on between you two?" Aisha added.
"I um...I don't..really know.." Kim stammered. "It was just mistletoe" she lied.
"Didn't look like 'just mistletoe' to me" Kat teased.
"same here" Tanya laughed.
"New subject please?" Kim pleaded.
"Ok" They all smiled.
*
"Ok, I have a list of people who need to talk" Rocky announced to the guys. "First off- Tommy and Kim, then I think Adam and Kim have some stuff to discuss" he winked. "And Jason and Tanya"
"Me and Tanya?? Why?"
"Cause you two were making a lot of eye contact since she got here" Zack smiled. Jason blushed.
"Well since I'm first" Tommy got up from the couch and walked over to Kim. He tapped her shoulder, her mouth went dry... she didn't want to turn around, but she forced herself to,
"Hey Tommy, what's up?"
"I think we should..um, talk" Kim nodded. They walked out onto the balcony.
*
"So..are you still living in Florida?"
"Tommy, we both know you didn't bring me out here for idle chit chat, so ask your questions" Kim folded her arm across her chest and sat down in a patio chair.
"Why'd you do it?" Tommy sat next to her.
"I thought I gave an explanation in the letter"
"Yeah, and I don't believe it"
"Then why didn't you call?"
"Because I...because I didn't WANT to believe it, and if I called- you'd confirm it"
"Actually I probably would have broken down over the phone" she barely whispered.
"Broken down? Broken down why?" he tried to hold her hand but she pulled away and stood up.
"No...no..I can't do this. Tommy I did love you, but I don't think I'm IN love with you. I don't know what love is" She went to go inside, but looking through the sliding glass door, tears in her eyes, ~So many people with so many questions, and I can't face the answers to any of them~ She stood by the patio railing, a certain look in her eyes.
"Kim don't even think abou-" but before Tommy could finish, she flipped off and landed with ease. ~I don't believe she jumped rather than face me~he thought "Thank goodness for gymnastics training" Kim whispered as she ran off. Tommy thought of jumping off after her, but he'd just scare her off more, he suspected. So he walked back inside to think about where she might go around here.
"Tommy? Where's Kim?" Jason clasped a hand on his friend's shoulder.
"She...She jumped" Tommy shrugged.
"Jumped?? We're 2 stories up."
"She's a gymnast remember. She jumped rather than face me, rather than face everyone here" he said sadly and sank onto the couch.
"She probably-" Jason began but was cut off.
"No Jase, I know she went to the lake. Where else in Angel Grove would she go? But I can't face her if I don't know what the problem is, she won't tell. You didn't see the fear in her eyes so quickly replaced by cold, unemotion"
"Then who'll talk to her?"
"Adam"
"Adam???"
"She needs to talk with someone more patient than me, I'll end up yelling- she doesn't need that. Besides, you saw the connection between them."
"If you think so Tommy...I'll get him."
"Thanks Jase"
Adam was talking with Zack and Billy.
"Adam?"
"What's wrong?" Jason wasn't smiling and looked worried.
"Kim jumped off the balcony"
"She what?"
"She jumped. Tommy's sure she ran to the lake"
"So why doesn't he go after her?"
"He wants you to.. says he'll end up yelling and your more patient"
"Um, ok..I'll go now" Adam shook his head, grabbed his coat and left. Jason sighed, then smiled and turned towards Zack and Billy.
"So how are two doing?"
************
The end of chapter 2. More to come of course. I just want you all to know, I haven't decided on the coupling yet, honestly! it's either Kim/Tommy or Kim/Adam.. but I dont know.. maybe I'll do both and make it split off from one point into an alternate, ok anyway I'll think about that. Please R/R :) thanks!
