Oh wow, this is actually my very first try at writing a Power Rangers fic. Never thought I'd actually branch out. Oh man…. How am I going to explain to my fans that I've switched genres for a bit, especially after the long hiatus? Well, change of a perspective I guess. Don't worry too much, I still think about writing and finishing my other works from time to time. Probably more fun to do, since this isn't as lengthy as the previous ones.
Warning: WARNING!! The jokes and double meanings in this fic can get very dirty. Very, very, very, very, very dirty…so if you guys don't like the slapstick-ish vulgar humor, then you shouldn't read this. I'm going to be safe and say that no one under fifteen should read this. If you are under fifteen and you read it and find it offensive…please don't flame me. I warned you. That's all I can do.
Most credits go to one of my favorite authors, Skyerose, who gave me permission to use most of the plot and lines from her work, Double Entendres (Pretty much 80% of this fic is hers, I just change the characters and plot after getting her permission.) Pretty much accidents due to double meanings when the listeners just so happens to have minds in the gutter.

Tommy James Oliver didn't know what to make of his current situation. It had only been a few months after he lost his invisibility powers in exhausting the Dino Gems and finally defeating that evil Mesogog. So he was sure he would finally settle down from the whole Power Ranger business and lead a normal life teaching as science teacher. But things sure picked a bit from there. For one thing, in one night on his way to the grocery store, he accidentally came across his high school ex-school girlfriend.
Short. Cute. Beautiful. The first ever Pink Ranger.
A snatch thief was trying to get away with her purse, and she had been chasing him with such a furious and determined look.
Nobody messes with a Pink Ranger, retired or not, and gets a way with it.
So Tommy cloth lined the guy in one swift move when he heard the call of help for anyone to stop the snatch thief. They got both former rangers turned to get the surprise of their lives when they finally recognized each other. Aside from the awkward moment, unexpectedly lack of shouts, knowledge of her having recently moving to Reefside, they were fine.
Well that little reunion was another story.
What Tommy was busy thinking was his current reunion, all thanks to the return of his friend, Billy Cranston, from the Planet Aquitar. Apparently there was a whole lot more of things to come.
So here Tommy was, sitting along with the rest of his friends, most of them being former Power Rangers all the way back since he ever started as the Green Ranger. Having all them here, after all this was amazing. The moment they got news of Billy's return from the alien planet across the galaxy and how he wanted to meet all of them as soon as possible. There they were together, as Jason, Zack, Billy, Trini, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Katherine, Tanya, Kimberly, Hayley being the only person who hasn't ever been a Ranger, and him in his own secret underground 'Command Center'. Tommy had made the necessary preparations, even as far as adding more chairs in the briefing room. From what they've heard so far, there's a really big chance of them being called on duty to serve as a Power Ranger again.
Oh well, like the saying goes, 'Once a Ranger, always a Ranger,'
Tommy shook his head slightly, his eyes landing on Kim as she sat across the table in front of him. Billy was actually sitting at one end of the long table, he had even passed out files for the rest to read, occasionally pinpointing them to read parts of it as he began his presentation.
Kim's chin was resting gently on the back of her hand and her eyes were focused on the report in front of her. For the first time since Tommy had seen her entered his house, she looked relaxed. The familiar straight-back posture she usually had was replaced with a less severe, but still respectable posture. A few stray pieces of her hair tickled her brow and she absently blew them back into place.
Damn, she was adorable.
As if feeling his gaze Kim glanced up. Instead of straightening up and clearing her throat as she often did every time she catches him looking at her, she remained in her current position and gave him that same beautiful smile of hers. He recognized and remembered, this distinct smile of hers, that was reserved only for him.
Despite the many years they hadn't seen each, memories of when he pretty much naïve in terms of love and relationships.
From the looks of it........
Oh, boy.
Tommy had known he was hosed the minute he saw her that night after retrieving her purse. She looked tired alright, being able to keep pace in chasing after the snatch thief and her purse. The look on her when panted to catch her breath, that didn't really help, especially with the lack of relationships and sex in Tommy's life.
Was he able to love her again like he did all those years ago? His mind told him, even if the chance came, he'd never love the same way ever gain. But, it would pass…right? Unfortunately for him, he didn't think so. Life seemed to like playing cruel jokes on Tommy James Oliver…and apparently Kimber Ann Heart was the next one.
Damn.
Still smiling softly, Kim tore her gaze from the veteran Ranger and reached for the water pitcher that was on the table, one located much neared to Tommy.
Sighing, she realized that it was out of her reach as she sat. 'You have got to be kidding me… I know I'm not that short.'
Her subconscious answered, 'Short legs, short hands. Unless you're some kind of ape… What was orange ape thing that was in Animal Planet? Long hands, shorter legs… the Orangutan? At least they had long hands'
Kim did spend most of her bored times, if desperate boredom came to desperate measures. Sitting in front of the TV, that she was told herself was nothing because of her love life, or what's lack of it. Cooking shows, animal documentaries, soap opera, so on, and so forth as to whatever came in cable.
Pushing that thought away, standing half-way up, balanced on her toes, Kim's hand barely grazed the handle. She saw the amused smirks on everyone else's faces and groaned inwardly. Expecting Tommy to lean back and watch her struggle with the pitcher she was utterly surprised when he shooed her hand away; fingers lightly brushing her own. Ignoring the completely inappropriate thoughts that sprang to her mind she glanced at him, confused.
Tommy gave her a genuine smile. "I'll fill you up, Kim." He spoke slowly, still amused.
Kim and some of others froze while some like Jason and Trini glanced up sharply from reading their reports, staring at Tommy in disbelief. Rocky spluttered on the water he was drinking, Zack raised an eyebrow…which could mean anything, a smirk curved on his lips.
Tommy paused sensing the sudden heavy silence in the room. He glanced at everyone within his vision and nervously smiled.
Looking back at Kim's surprised gaze, his words caught up to him. 'I'll fill you up, Kim.' He blanched. While very tame as far in the way as double meanings go…they were just two friends who recently rebuilt their friendship, just getting to know one another as to what happened all these years, visit and call one another a few times, pretty much just that.
Crap.
"Kim…" Tommy started, he didn't know why he was looking at Jason. Probably because he was like Kim's big brother and his own best friend. "I…that wasn't what it…what I mean is that I…" he took a deep breath, forcing himself back into his cool, composed leader persona that he had in leading the young Dino Thunder Rangers. Smiling slightly, he leaned back. "Just slip of the tongue, Jason. Kim. You guys…"
Interestingly, a grin played across his lips, as Kim was flushing quite noticeably, and everyone else chuckled in their seats.
Jason cast one look and shook his head in amusement, pretty much everyone had that knowing look, saving those two from much further embarrassment and their delicate rebuilt friendship.
There would be more interesting things to come aside from returning back to duty as active 'Power Rangers' again.
Jason and Trini exchanged glances, he knew his wife was thinking the same thing, 'I think we all know where this is going…'
Well that short..... Thought I'd start out mildly and get a warm up first. Rate and reviews are always appreciated. :)
