"I told you I would be here," Emily said with a smile as she walked up to Jason and he turned around and gave her a hug.

It had been a year since Trini had come running to him on that pier and confessed her feelings for him. They had gotten engaged four months later after a whirlwind romance and now it was their wedding day. To have all of their family and friends so close was wonderful, but two of their friends had still not resolved the issue that had led them into their problems last year. Now they could only hope that they would get some sense about them and actually jump back in or at least fix their problems.

"Thanks, Em," Jason said as Emily barely nodded. She had taken it much better than he had thought, although she had had some rough days along the way. The fact was, it was easier on her, considering the fact that Jason had picked up and moved to North Carolina. The only reason that their wedding was in California was because it was cheaper for them to come out there than it was for everyone else to come to North Carolina.

"How are you?" Emily asked as she saw the smile on his face and knew that she could never have given him that sort of happiness.

"I'm doing good, I'm just worried about the two of them," Jason said nodding towards Kim and Tommy, who were forced to stand next to each other as Aisha and Rocky stood like bookends on either side, not allowing either to move. They had all decided that it was worth shoving the two of them together and seeing if they could just make things better for themselves.

"They have to find themselves in their own time," Emily said as Jason looked over at her and she just shrugged her shoulders. "Now, you didn't come here to talk to me…go dance with your wife."

"I wish they would just stop being stubborn," Trini whispered as Jason smiled down at her. "I don't know how many more events I can go to and watch the two of them just ignore each other like this. It's been ten years Jason; they should have grown out of it by now."

"It hurt him…it's hard to forget that," Jason said as Trini nodded as she placed her head on his shoulder.

"They should at least forgive, Jase," Trini murmured as he closed his eyes and held her closer. He had thought at one time that he would never have the chance to have this, but everything had changed for them. He just wished that he could see the same happiness for two of his best friends.

"What do you suggest? Locking them in a room by themselves and throwing away the keys?" Jason asked as Trini looked up at him.

"I've actually thought of that in the past," Trini said as Jason looked down at her. He had a hard time believing that his sweet wife would actually think of that, but she had had to deal with Kimberly more often than he had and he had to admit that she could be trying at times. "I'm tired of it Jase…I'm tired of them living with the pink elephant in the room and the both of them ignoring it."

"We can't make them change," Jason said as Trini looked up at him and he just shook his head. "They have to figure it out on their own."

"They're just asking for all of this to happen again," Trini whispered as Jason looked down at her, knowing that she was right, but not wanting to think about that tonight. He wanted to be able to just enjoy the fact that they were married. Tomorrow they could think of plans of how to get their friends back together and a way for the two of them to be able to go to another wedding soon.

"Tri…for one night, let's not worry about our friends and let's just have a good time," Jason said as Trini nodded as she gave him a quick kiss and then rested her head back on his shoulder.


"Night guys!" Rocky yelled as he and Aisha headed for their car, while Kim and Tommy walked towards each of theirs. Their friends had insured that they had not moved more than a couple of feet away from each other all night, which just made things worse for them.

Ever since last year, their friends' pleas had become almost incessant for them to get back together. It didn't help that Xanderien had found their mangled relationship useful and actually managed to turn Kimberly against Tommy yet again. Trini and Jason had made quick work of fixing the situation, but the two of them still stayed away from each other, afraid of what it would be like to get back together.

"How are you?" Tommy asked as Kim looked up at him and saw the strain on his face.

"Why do you act like you even care?" Kim huffed as Tommy looked down at her and just shook his head.

"Because I do, Kimberly; you know it just as well as I do, but you won't admit it to yourself. How many times do I have to say it?" Tommy asked as he pressed her up against his car and she stared up at him, almost scared of him.

"Tommy…I just don't know if we work…" Kim trailed off as he leaned down and gave her a passion filled kiss, pulling the breath out of her as she answered back to his plea.

"Tell me again that we don't work, Kimberly," Tommy said as she looked up at him and her eyes filled with tears. They both knew that she couldn't do that, but she just wasn't ready…after ten years she still was not ready to have him again.

"Tommy, we…" Kim trailed off as she looked down at the ground. "I just don't know what to do Tommy…I was so sure that I had found someone better in Jonathan…now I see, but I can't forgive myself."

"We've been over this so many times Kimberly…I forgive you, why can't you forgive yourself?" Tommy questioned as Kimberly pushed him away and he allowed her to go to her car and he then covered his face again. Why couldn't they just be happy? After everything they had gone through, they deserved that, at the very least. He, however, didn't say this and walked towards his car, just as defeated as he was two weeks ago, when they had last had this conversation.

"If we are going to choose any ranger to attack, he should be it," Mesogogg muttered as Zeltrax nodded his head in agreement. There was no reason to fear Tommy Oliver, despite everything that they had heard about him, he was only human and had weaknesses like everyone else. After this night of observation they had determined that if they wished to do this, then they were going to have to do one thing…take her. How they were going to do that? They had not decided this yet, but they knew that the sooner the better. They were wasting precious time by waiting around for opportunities that might never come.
