Greenwich Village New York 2006

It was always busy in Greenwich, no matter what time of day it was. During the people were walking up and down the streets catching taxi cabs, walking down to the subway or catching city buses. At night the street lights were on, night clubs were open, most of the restaurants were open 24/7, the traffic was less etc. At the present time, it was the middle of the night. Most of the school age children were asleep. However, two five year olds were sitting in the bay window in apartment 26. One of the girls had dark brown hair and her name was Riley Matthews. The other girl had had blond hair and her name was Maya Hart. They had been up talking for a long time.

Maya was spending the night at the Matthews apartment. The last few days had been rough on Maya because her father left her mother. Katy (Maya's mother) wanted Maya to spend the night with Riley. While Maya and Riley were sitting in the bay window, Katy was talking to Cory and Topanga.

"I'm a single parent now," explained Katy. "I'm raising a five year old on my own. I don't know what to do because I have to work late shifts. There is no one to keep Maya."

"She's always welcome here," smiled Topanga. "We love having her. Maya can stay here while you work."

"I appreciate the offer, Topanga. But, there more to this situation," explained Katy. "I have to pay all of the bills, buy groceries, and see Maya's needs are met. I'm having it rough."

"Do you have any family members that can help you?" asked Cory.

"I have a sister and a brother-in-law who live in Reefside California," answered Katy. " They are both teachers at Reefside High School. My brother-in-law teaches science and my sister is a PE and health teacher."

"Call them and ask them to help," suggested Cory.

"They are going through a rough time too," admitted Katy. "Kimberly recently had her seventh miscarriage. My brother in law was really upset because my sister got very sick and he almost lost her."

"When did all of this take place?" asked Topanga.

"Actually, it took place last week," answered Katy. "My brother-in-law and sister realize that they can't have children. Kimberly had her tubs tided so she can't get pregnant again. They tired to have a child almost every year, but Kimberly just can't carry a child."

"Have you contacted your sister?" asked Cory.

"No, I never thought of it," gasped Katy. "I'll call them later on."

Reefside California 2006

In a house that was way out in the woods, Katy Hart's brother-in-law was laying awake in bed. He had spiky hair and he was tall. Tommy had taken the past week off from school to take care of Kimberly. She had been married to Tommy for the past several years. Kimberly was asleep and her head was resting against Tommy's bare chest. He heard his wife's cell phone ring in her purse.

"Kim, you're cell phone is ringing," stated Tommy. "I'll get you your cell phone."

Tommy got out of bed and opened Kimberly's purse. He looked on the caller ID on the cell phone. It was Kimberly's sister Katy; he quickly went back to his bed.

"It's Katy," stated Tommy.

He handed Kimberly her phone.

"Hello," answered Kimberly.

"Kimberly, I'm sorry to bother you," apologized Katy. "I know you have had a rough time."

"It's alright, Katy," answered Kimberly. "Don't worry about it. What can I do for you? How are you and Maya doing?"

"We're hanging in there," replied Katy. "I don't mean to impose on you or Tommy. Right now I am really needing help. As you know, Kermit walked out and left on the night of the storm. I'm having it rough and I was wondering if you and Tommy could help me."

"What do you need?" asked Kimberly.

"I need help raising Maya," explained Katy. "I don't have any family members who will help me. I have to work late shifts and I don't want to keep asking the Matthews to babysit Maya all the time. Will you two help me?"

"If you're asking us to come to New York, we can do it," replied Kimberly. "But, we'd have to find a place to live first."

"You can live in our apartment in Greenwich Village," stated Katy. "It is right down the hall from the Matthews Apartment."

"We'd love to help you raise Maya," gasped Kimberly. "Tommy and I love her very much."

"Thank you so much," answered Katy. "It really means a lot to me."

Katy hung up the phone.

"Well, what did they say?" asked Topanga.

"They are moving to New York," smiled Katy. "They will be living in our apartment."

"We've been needing another science teacher and a PE teacher at school," gasped Cory. "They'd be perfect for the job."

"Tommy and Kimberly were thrilled to come help," explained Katy. "They've had a hard life growing up."

"What happened?" asked Topanga.

"First, Kimberly's parents abandoned her and then Tommy's parents passed," stated Katy. "Jan and James took Kimberly in before they passed. She baby sat Kim with my brother-in-law, while the Harts attended school. The Harts had the Oliver's sign papers and they got custody of my sister."

"Who's older?" asked Cory. "You or Kimberly?"

"Kimberly's is three years older than me," answered Katy. "When her father left Caroline, he married my mom and they had me. I didn't even know I had a sister, until three years ago. When my father left my mom he mentioned his other daughter was like me. He told me what my sister's was name and where she lived. I found her, shortly after I had Maya."

"Wow!" gasped Topanga. "That's a lot to take in."

"My brother- in-law and sister are power rangers," informed Katy. "Kimberly was the pink Mighty Morphin ranger and the pink Dino Thunder ranger. Tommy was the green Mighty Morphin ranger, the red Zeo ranger, the first red Turbo ranger, and the black Dino Thunder ranger."

"They were the rangers who fought in down town Angel Grove!" gasped Cory. "Topanga, that was on the news all the time!"

"Yes, I remember that," answered Topanga.

"I hope Maya takes having my sister and brother-in-law being here okay," warned Katy. "Maya holds hard feelings against my sister. She thinks that Kimberly didn't want me in her life. She gets along with Tommy very well."

"I'm going to go check on the girls," stated Topanga.

Topanga walked into the Riley's room. Riley was sleeping on the folding cot, that Topanga bought for sleepovers. Maya was sleeping Riley's bed. She noticed that the girls didn't close the curtains and she went to close them. Before Topanga closed the curtains, she saw a bright moon in the sky, the stars shining, and she noticed that the streets were lit up. Topanga thought it was a beautiful sight. But, she also hoped that everything would go well with Kimberly and Maya.
