If I Could Read Your Mind

Summary: What happens when the Yellow and White Ranger drink Dr. Oliver's mind reading potion?
Chapter 1 So it Begins
Tommy Oliver's eyes grew as he watched two of his students drink his mind reading potion.
"Kira, Trent… no," he yelled.
Tommy screamed so loud, it caused Kira Ford and Trent Fernandez to drop the glasses that were in their hands. The two young adults had just taken a drink of Tommy's new mind reading potion. Conner McKnight and Ethan James had just entered the house when they heard their teacher and teammate yelling from the lab.
"What happened, Dr. O?" Conner asked.
"Kira and Trent drank my mind reading potion," he said as the Red and Blue Ranger walked down the stairs.
"What's going to happen to us?" Kira asked.
Tommy turned to his two students and sighed.
"You two will be able to read each other's minds," he said.
"For how long?" Trent asked.
"About a week," Tommy predicted.
Kira looked over at her boyfriend, Trent, and gave him a concerned look.
"Please, Trent, try not to think about anything you wouldn't want me to know," she begged.
"You guys already know my father's Mesogog. I think I'm clean," Trent laughed.
He still could not believe he had told them when he did, but he needed to help his dad.
"I don't think that's what she meant, Trent," Ethan said.
"What did you mean then, Kira?" he asked.
"Don't have nasty thoughts," she yelled.
"I'll try, but I'm not promising you anything," Trent winked.
She laughed and playfully hit his stomach.
"Next time, Dr. O, try labeling," Conner smarted off.
"I thought I made myself pretty clear at the beginning of the year. Don't drink what you don't recognize," Tommy shot back.
"That's school," Ethan said.
"Well, it's common sense the same rules apply to here, too," Tommy said.
"Enough already," Kira yelled. "I'm already having a hard enough time knowing I'll be in Trent's head."
"When will we begin to feel it kicking in, Dr. O?" Trent asked.
"Anytime now," Tommy admitted.
"I don't know about you guys, but I'm getting tired," Conner yawned.
"You guys should be getting home, you have a test tomorrow," Tommy reminded his students.
"Oh, no," Kira said. "Dr. O, how am I going to concentrate when I have Trent reading in my mind?"
"Kira," Trent yelled, "you totally blew it! We could have gotten the answers together."
"I wouldn't have told you anyway," she said.
Ethan laughed and threw his arm around Trent as Kira walked out.
"She totally threw you in the dirt," he said.
"Typical girlfriend, right?" Trent laughed.

Friday, day 1
After distributing the test papers, Tommy walked to the front of his desk.
"All right class, you have the whole period to finish this test. You may begin now," Tommy said.
The student's eyes moved to the paper in front of them.
"Alright… man, what year was that?" Trent asked in his mind.
"Trent! Can you please try to keep it down? I want to pass with at least a 70," Kira complained.
"I told you we could do this the easy way, but noooo," he smarted off
"Just shut up and take the test. I don't want to fight with you, Trent," Kira said.
"All right, Kira, I'm sorry. I don't want this to affect the way we feel about each other," he replied.
"Me neither," she admitted.
Kira's eyes then moved to her teacher's desk to find Tommy looking at her and Trent.

By the time they knew it, school was done for the day and the four teens were at the cyber cafe.
"Hayley, where's Dr. O?" Conner asked.
"I believe he's grading the tests," she said.
"Dude, I so passed," Ethan smiled.
"Of course you passed. Ethan, you're a total brain," Kira said.
Trent walked over to the table to get their orders.
"What will it be?" he asked.
"Coke," Conner said.
"Banana smoothie," Ethan replied.
"And an apple juice for the lady," Trent finished.
As Trent turned around, Hayley grabbed his hand.
"I know you know what Kira usually gets, but you should always ask," she said.
"Dr. O didn't tell you?" Trent sighed.
"Tell me what?" Hayley asked.
"Hayley, Kira and I drank one of Dr. O's potions. Now, we can read each other's minds," Trent sighed.
"Whoa," she said.
This was a first. Tommy had not mentioned anything to her about a mind reading potion.
"Yeah, tell me about it," Trent laughed.
There was not anything to laugh about, but it helped him cope. By that time, Tommy had already walked in.
"Hey, Tommy," Hayley smiled.
"Hi, Hayley. I'm sure the team already informed you on the situation," he said.
"Trent just filled me in," she admitted.
"This is going to be a rough week for those two," Tommy sighed.
"Yeah, and Kira is performing next week," Hayley informed the Black Ranger.
"Oh, yeah. When?" Tommy asked.
"Thursday evening," Hayley said.
"I hope the potion wears out by then," Tommy replied.
"Me too. It's kind of weird, you know? Being able to read each other's minds and everything," Hayley laughed.
"They brought this on themselves," Tommy said.
"Like you haven't had any potions," Hayley laughed.
"Nope, just got put under spells," Tommy said.
They both started laughing.
"I wonder sometimes about you, Oliver," Hayley said. "I think you've been thrown around by putties one too many times."
"Don't forget the tengas, cogs…" Tommy began.
"I get it," Hayley cut him off.

Saturday, day 2
Kira walked over to where Trent was sitting at the lake where she first found out he was the White Ranger.
"This place holds memories. Memories I want to forget," Trent said, turning to her.
She was not all that shocked he knew she was behind him. He had a thing of sensing her presents.
"Trent, I feel your pain. I know every thought that's going through your mind right now," Kira said.
"Then you know I wish I could take everything back," he cried.
Kira pulled him in her arms.
"Yes, but it wasn't your fault. Even you said you had no control over it," she said.
"Not about that, Kira. I wish I had told you sooner about it. You might have never gotten hurt to begin with," Trent yelled.
Going through something like that had drawn them closer. He had to get up and walk closer to the lake.
"That's in the past now. We need to turn our attention to the future," Kira said.
She walked up behind him and wrapped her arms around his waist.
"Yeah, the future," Trent smiled.
Kira also smiled and took Trent's hand.
"Now, come on. Ethan and Conner are at the field," she said.

Ethan smiled as he saw Trent and Kira walking towards him.
"Hey you two," he called.
"Hey, Ethan," Kira said.
"Is Conner ready for the competition?" Trent asked.
"Dude, he's so pumped up for it," Ethan said.
"Let's get a seat before they're all taken," Kira laughed.
"Good idea, Kira," Ethan said, following her.
"When's Dr. O getting here, Ethan?" Trent asked.
"Oh, he can't make it," he replied. "He's already preparing for the next week."
"Shh… it's starting," Kira said.
"Welcome to the 2004-2005 Soccer Championships," the announcer replied. "The two teams competing are Reefside High and Logan Lake High."
Conner walked out onto the field and got into position. As soon as he made the first goal, a player from the other team quickly got a hold of the ball. By the end of the first half, the score was 2 to 2.
"Come on, Conner," the three yelled.
Conner smiled seeing that Kira and Trent made it to the competition.
"Oh my gosh, the other team's in control," Kira panicked.
"Calm down, Kira," Trent laughed.
"Hey, Conner got the ball," Ethan yelled.

The three waited outside the locker room for Conner.
"Congratulations, bro" Ethan said.
"Thanks, Ethan," Conner smiled.
"Dude, absolutely great," Trent told him.
"Thanks, Trent. I'm glad you and Kira could make it," Conner admitted.
"Anytime," Kira said.
"That sucks that Dr. O couldn't make it, though," Conner frowned.
"Let's go surprise him," Ethan said.

Tommy got off the couch as the doorbell rang.
"What's up you guys?" he asked.
"Nothing much. You just missed the soccer team win the biggest game of the year," Conner said.
"I'm really sorry, Conner," Tommy apologized. "You guys knew I was busy today."
"Watching TV?" Kira asked.
She laughed as Tommy stared her down.
"Making tests can be rough," Tommy told her.
"Looks like it," Ethan said as he looked towards the football game playing on the television.
"I just finished," Tommy said.
"When will we get the grades?" Trent asked.
"Monday," Tommy said.
