Title: After School

Pairing: Tommy/Adam

Summary: Mrs. Appleby over hears a conversation after school.

Disclaimer: -looks around- nope…I still have no papers saying I'm the owner of anything Power Rangers.

School had been out for half an hour. The halls were empty. The students had rushed out to start their weekend plans. Teachers were still stumbling out of the schoolhouse. Mrs. Appleby had gotten home before realizing that she had left the papers she needed to grade on the desk. So she had turned her car around and headed back to the school. As she neared her classroom, she heard voices. This didn't make sense as she had locked the door after leaving. Stopping beside the door, she listens in.

" The others are going to wonder what's taking us so long…" The first voice speaks up. She recognizes the soft tones as belonging to Adam.

" So, let them wonder…the girls are driving me crazy anyways…" The second voice responds. That sounds like Tommy.

" They're just worried about you. I mean, Kim just broke up with you a week ago." Adam sighs, sounding amused.

" I guess they think that. And I appreciate the concern, but if I say I'm fine, they should believe me." Tommy groans.

" You also have a tendency to hide how you really feel. They care about you a lot. Now help me look for my folder." Adam says.

" Kat just wants to be my next girlfriend. It's too bad I'm already taken." Tommy chuckles.

" Ah! Found It!" Adam declares. " You know she doesn't know that, Tommy."

" Well, she would if you would agree to telling them. They deserve to know." Tommy sighs.

" Alright, we'll tell them. I just find it funny how uncomfortable you get around women. It's no wonder Kim found out you were gay within days of meeting you." Adam laughs.

" Coming from you? You're just terrified of dating. How is it possible for a romantic to be afraid of dating?" Tommy drawls.

" You're such a jerk. I have no idea how I fell in love with you the first time we met." Adam growls.

Mrs. Appleby decides she's heard enough, so she walks into the classroom. Pretending surprise at seeing the boys, she asks " Boys? What are you doing here so late?"

Adam jumps. " Oh Mrs. Appleby, it's you. I forgot my folder with my homework in here, so we had the janitor let us in to find it. Sorry."

" That's fine, but now that you have the folder you should probably head home." She suggests.

" of course! We were just leaving!" Adam says as he pulls Tommy out. " See you Monday!"

Waiting until the sound of their footsteps are far away, Mrs. Appleby settles in her chair and smiles. Sometimes she loved being a teacher.

A/N: Ha-ha! I was trying to sleep and this idea just popped up. I'm actually kind of pleased with the results. Review Please?
