Author's note: I can't remember the last time I actually wrote a fic featuring my favorite couple so I decided to do one for the holidays. This will be a short fic with about 4 or 5 chapters.

Disclaimer: I don't own power rangers nor do I own 'All I Want For Christmas' the movie that inspired this story.


"Jack, Ally, get a move on or you'll be late for school!" Katherine Oliver yelled from the kitchen where she was making breakfast.

"Mom, I can't find my ballet shoes," her daughter replied back.

"Great, now I'll never get them out of the door on time," Kat groaned.

"Relax Katherine, you go help Allison find her shoes and I'll finish breakfast," Marie Hillard told her daughter.

Kat and the kids had moved from Reefsideback to Angel Grove and had been living with Kat's mother for almost a year. Katherine's father had passed away a few years ago and Katherine's mother had decided to stay in Angel Grove rather than move back to Australia. Kat and Tommy were now separated with Tommy coming to Angel Grove every other weekend to spend time with the kids.

"Everything smells great grandma," said Jack who was thirteen as he entered the kitchen.

"Do we have to go to school today?" asked Ally who was seven.

"Of course you have to go," Kat told her.

"But Daddy's coming today and there's no way I'll be able to concentrate," Ally replied.

"Ally, it's the last day of school before winter break I'm sure you'll survive and besides your dad won't be here until much later," Kat responded.

"The bus is here," said Marie as she looked out the window.

"We better go Ally, see you later Mom, bye Grandma," said Jack as both kids kissed them goodbye and headed out the door.


"Kat, Katherine Hillard?" a man asked later that day as Katherine was sitting in a small café having lunch.

"Yes, I'm Katherine Hillard, well it's Oliver now," she said as she looked up.

"It's me Raymond, Raymond Harris from high school," he said.

"Oh my gosh, Raymond it's so nice to see you, I didn't realize you still lived here," Kat replied.

"I just moved back, Oliver huh, I always thought you and Tommy would end up together, let me guess you probably have at least three kids by now," he said as he took the seat across from her.

"We have two, Jack's thirteen and Allison is seven but we're not together anymore, we've been separated for almost a year, Tommy lives in Reefside," Kat told him.

"Oh gee, I'm so sorry to hear that, you guys always seemed so perfect for each other," Raymond responded.

"I thought so too but I guess sometimes things just don't work out the way you expect," Kat replied.

"What happened, if you don't mind my asking," he said.

"Things were great until Tommy quit his teaching job to work for Mercer Industries, he just got so preoccupied with helping Anton make the newest scientific discovery that he hardly had anytime to spend with our family and then one day I just woke up and realized that we had grown apart and the next thing I knew I was packing up the kids and moving back here," Kat told him.

"Any chance the two of you could work things out?" Raymond questioned.

"I don't think so, but I don't want to bore you with the sad details of my life, how are things with you," she said.

"Well I started my own software company a few years back and I've decided to bring the company here to Angel Grove, that's why I moved back," he told her.

"Wow, that's really great, listen I'd love to stay and chat but I've got to head back to work, I teach ballet at the community college," Kat said as she got up.

"Maybe we could go out to dinner sometime, I mean not like a date or anything just two old friends catching up," he replied.

"Sure, I'd really like that," she said.

"How about Saturday?" he asked.

"Oh I can't, I'm taking Ally to see the Nutcracker, it's kind of a tradition," she answered.

"OK, well how about tonight?"

"Um, yeah, I guess that would alright, I mean the kids will be with Tommy so I'll be free, here's my address and phone number," she said as she took out a slip of paper.

"Great, I'll see you later then," he said.


"I'll get it," Marie said that night as the doorbell rang.

"It's Daddy!" Ally shouted as she ran ahead of her grandmother and pulled the door open.

"Oh hello there, you must be Allison," Raymond said.

"Who are you?" Ally asked.

"My name is Raymond, I'm an old friend of your mom's," he said.

"Hello Raymond, I'm Marie, Katherine's mother, won't you come in," said Marie.

"I guess I'm a little early but I thought we said we were meeting at seven," Raymond said as Marie led him into the living room.

"You're right on time, it's Tommy who's late as usual," Katherine said as she joined him.

"Wow, Kat you look lovely," Raymond told her.

"Thank you," she said as the door was opened.

"Hello, anyone home," Tommy called.

"Daddy!" Ally said as she ran to him and he picked her up into his arms.

"Oh Ally, I've missed you so much," Tommy said as he hugged her.

"Hey Dad, wait till I show you the new moves Uncle Rocky was teaching me," said Jack as he entered the room.

"Hi Tommy," Marie said as she gave him a hug.

"How's my favorite mother-in-law?" Tommy asked.

"I'm good, always happy to see you," she said.

"It's about time you got here, you're two hours late," Katherine told him.

"Hey Kat, I'm sorry about that, I guess I just lost track of time, you look nice," he replied.

"Thanks," she said.

"Uh, Tommy, hey, good to see you again," said Raymond.

"Raymond? I haven't seen you since high school," said Tommy.

"Yeah I know it's good to see you again, I couldn't believe it when I ran into Katherine today, I haven't seen anyone from high school in ages," Raymond told him.

"Raymond, I don't believe you've met our son, this is Jack," said Kat.

"Hi Jack, it's nice to meet you," he said.

"Hi, wish I could say the same," Jack told him.

"Jack!" Kat yelled.

"Sorry," Jack mumbled.

"Jack, Ally, why don't you go get your things so we can get out of here," said Tommy.

"Mom, will you help me?" asked Ally.

"I'll be right back," she told Raymond.

"So you're taking my wife out on a date," said Tommy when the two men were alone.

"Yeah, uh no, it's not a date, it's just dinner between two old friends, that's all, nothing more," Raymond assured him.

"Good, just make sure it stays that way," said Tommy.

"Well the kids are all ready to go," Kat said as they came back.

"Great, let's go then," Tommy told them.

"Bye kids, remember I'm picking up Ally tomorrow night for The Nutcracker," Kat called after them.


"Dad, this isn't the way to Grandma and Grandpa's," said Jack. Tommy would normally stay with his parents whenever he was in town.

"That's because we're not staying with your grandparents," Tommy told him.

"Then where are we staying?" asked Ally.

"You'll see soon enough, it's a surprise," answered Tommy.

"Isn't this where Uncle Rocky lives?" questioned Jack as Tommy drove into the apartment complex.

"Yeah, he has an apartment here too, actually I have him to thank for telling me there was an opening in the building, that's why I was so late picking up guys up, I just finished moving everything in today, I brought some of your things from home so I hope you like it," Tommy told them.

"Wait, are you saying you live here?" asked Jack.

"That's right, no more having to wait until the weekend to see you guys, now we can be together whenever we want," Tommy answered.

"But what about your job and the house?" Jack questioned.

"Well I'll be looking for a job here once the holidays are over and as for the house well your mother and I will have to sort that out later, now come on I want to show you your new rooms," Tommy said.


"Jack, are you asleep?" Ally asked later that night as she walked into his room.

"Ally, you're supposed to be in bed," he said as he sat up.

"I know but I couldn't sleep, I just kept thinking about Mom going on a date with that Raymond guy," Ally said as she sat on the bed.

"Mom is not dating that Raymond guy, he's just a friend, she and Dad are still married remember," Jack told her.

"Yeah but they're not together," she said.

"I wouldn't worry about that Raymond guy we probably won't even see him again, and besides Dad lives here now so maybe he and Mom will be able to work things out," said Jack.

"Good because that's what I'm asking Santa for," Ally told him.

"What are you asking Santa?" Jack questioned.

"I'm gonna ask Santa to get them back together again," Ally revealed.

"Now, look, Ally you can't ask Santa Claus for that," said Jack.

"Why not?" she asked.

"Well, because, because he's jolly, he's a jolly fat guy, not a marriage counselor," he answered.

"But it's all I really want," she said.

"I want Mom and Dad back together too but I don't think asking Santa is going to make it happen," Jack told her.

"That's because you don't believe, Santa can make anything happen, you'll see," she said.
