The two of them couldn't believe their eyes. They couldn't believe they were standing in front of each other.

"Could it really be her? God, she's more beautiful than I last remember. What is she doing here in Reef side? More or less Reef Side high?" Tommy thought.

"Oh my God is it really him? Still handsome as ever Tommy, and wow he cut his hair, Jason really wasn't lying. But what is he doing here in Reef side." She thought.

"Tommy……….I……wow, good to see you." She said stumbling with words.

"Good to um……..good to see you two Kat. Wow, I can't believe it's you, what brings you to Reef side?" he asked as they picked up the remainder of her things and finally stood up.

"Good Tommy, keep the conversation nice and easy."

"Oh um, well I'm the new dance teacher here." She answered.

"Oh I heard about that on the announcements, wow but you were the last person I expected to be the dance teacher." He said.

Kat frowned. Just exactly what was he trying to say?

"I mean not that you're a bad dancer or anything I just didn't expect to see you here and I didn't…..I um………oh boy." He said quickly catching his mistake.

Kat laughed some. "I understand what you mean. What brings you to Reef side, I thought you were still racing." She asked.

"No, it only took one accident to realize that racing wasn't for me."

"An accident, are you ok?" she asked.

"Oh ya fine, the car was totaled but I came out uninjured. But ever since then I sort of gained an interest in science so I went to college and earned a PhD in paleontology hence my job here as a science teacher." He explained.

"Wow, science, not what I expected, I always thought you'd own your own dojo or something." She said as Tommy shrugged.

"Ya well I thought about it but I realized that I really suck in business management, there's no ay I could keep the place up and running." He said and Kat laughed.

An odd silence fell upon them none of them really sure what to say to the other.

"Well um…..It was nice seeing you again Tommy but I'm sort of um…….late for my first hour class." She said coming up with an excuse to get away from the awkward moment.

"Ya ok um……I'm sort of late for a meeting with Principal Randall." He said looking back up into her hazel eyes.

"It was nice meeting with you." She said just above a whisper.

"Ya, nice meeting you too." He said as he watched her leave.

………………..

All day Tommy couldn't help but think about Katherine. He just couldn't keep his mind off of the blonde beauty.

He seemed to just totally brush the thought of Kimberly that had been plaguing him all weekend and focus his attention on Kat.

He couldn't believe she was in Reef side, and teaching at the same school for that matter.

He was thrilled, excited, overjoyed, but at the same time, his thoughts of what if's got to his mind.

"Tommy stop getting your hopes up. She's probably married, or has a kid or something by now. Although I didn't see a ring on her finger, I think. Oh c'mon she's 25 now, she's probably already started a family. No one else in the team is old and lonely like you." He thought to himself on while in his room gathering his things to leave.

"But man she couldn't be more beautiful." He added to his thoughts about to leave until he suddenly remembered that Principal Randal had ordered him to help the nurse with lice duty after school.

Tommy sighed, the things he does to keep his job.

………………..

Meanwhile……Katherine sighed as she sat in her dance room with only 2 other students along with her.

There had been at least 30 people who signed up for the dance club but only two people showed.

Actually after talking to the football coach, he informed her that no one really came to any after school clubs or meetings when there was some sort of school wide lice check or school wide anything.

With that said her thoughts led back to Tommy. She couldn't stop thinking about him all day. The way he apologized about bumping into him, the way their hands brushed together on the picture they picked up, they way the talked for that adoring 2 minutes.

She just couldn't keep her mind off of him. She even accidentally mentioned his name with in teaching lessons. It was obvious she was still attracted to him, but she never expected to be this much. She always thought that after they broke up before she left for London that he'd go crawling back to Kim. Well not that she found out if he did or not but she was just surprised to see him here.

Kat had always liked Tommy from the moment she saw him, like most of the girls a Angel Grove High.

But when they started going out, their relationship was more than just infatuation. Tommy was always able to understand her, their similarities where just so in tune it made the relationship almost perfect. He could understand her fears and her pain, he was once under the influence of evil and he knew what it was like to be the new kid, try to destroy a group of people who were nothing but nice to you, then all of a sudden have them take you in as their best friend.

Sure she had her fair share of boyfriends but none of them could compare to him. Tommy was special to her, he was her white knight.

"Oh Katherine get a hold of yourself, you know Kim was his first love, he's probably married to her right now with three children. Besides he's probably still angry at you for dumping him all those years ago anyway. (sigh) if only." She thought.

Sighing once more and glancing up on the clock that read 3:25 Katherine decided to let the two students leave and meet back next week when the next dance club meeting was scheduled. She'd give her announcements then, there was no point in doing it now.

"Alright you two, sorry the meeting didn't go as planned, hopefully I'll see you next week with more people." She said as the two girls smiled.

"No problem Ms. Hilliard, we'll see you next week." They said gathering their things and walking out.

Katherine sighed once more also gathering her things preparing to leave.

"Back to cleaning that stupid condo." She thought grabbing her keys and heading out.

…………………

As Kat walked out to her car, as soon as it was in sight she pressed the alarm button attached to her keys to disable the alarm on her car.

Pressing another button to pop open the truck, Kat was about to load her things inside until everything suddenly fell out of her hands.

"Oh, fudge! Today is not your day to keep everything in your hands Kat." She told herself crouching down to pick her things up.

"You know, I never remember you being this clumsy back in 98." Came a voice near her as a shadow also loomed over her body.

Kat looked up and smiled when she saw Tommy looking down at her before bending over to help her.

"Thanks Tommy but really you don't have to."

"Oh it's no problem, it's only gentlemen like." He said as she smiled wider.

"I don't know what's wrong with me, I'm supposed to be a ballerina for crying out load, what happened to my grace?" she said as Tommy laughed some.

"We all have our off days." He said as they both stood up and he helped her place her things in the trunk of the car.

"So how come you stayed so late after school, it's 3:35" Kat asked glancing at her watch.

"I had to help with Lice duty, Principal's orders." He said.

Kat scrunched up her nose some. "Ya thanks to that awful lice inspection only two people showed up for the meeting today." She said.

"Ya, Principal Randall's been known to do that, throw some random thing at the students just to torture them."

"Why did the school bored hire her?"

"I have no idea, but my advice to you is get on her good side." He said and she laughed some closing her trunk door.

"Wow, nice car." Tommy said looking at the silver eclipse.

"Thanks, it was a gift from daddy, he wanted to make sure I'd be ok with transportation in the states." She said.

"Well, beats my jeep." He said pointing to his black jeep sitting in the parking lot a few spaces away.

Kat smiled. "What are you talking about, I love jeeps, it reminds me of home back in Sydney." She said

"Really?"

"Ya, I was bugging my dad to get me one but he swears that everywhere in the world is the same temperature as London." She said shaking her head some as she dug for her keys in her purse.

Tommy chuckled. "So, how are you liking Reef side so far?" Tommy asked leaning on her car some.

"It's ok, I mean aside from my condo and the failure with the meeting today, I like it; nice and quiet." She said.

Tommy smiled. "What happened to your condo."

Kat let out a sigh. "The question is, what didn't happen to it? It's a complete mess, and I have no time to fix it up." She said.

"Where are you staying?"

"It's a building on Terrance drive by the name of Reef side's finest or something like that." She said as Tommy nodded in understanding knowing what she was talking about.

"Well if you want, I could come by and help you clean it up some."

"Oh no, I couldn't ask you to do that, you're a teacher, you probably have a thousand papers to grade."

"Well you're a teacher too."

"But it's different, I'm a dance teacher, I don't have any papers to sit there and grade." She said as Tommy chuckled.

"Really Kat it's no trouble at all, I'll come help you clean it up, in fact I could guarantee that on Saturday we could get the whole place just the way you like it."

"On Saturday?"

"Yep"

"In one whole day?"

"Uh-huh"

"How are we going to do that?"

"Let's just say I have my own crew."

"A cleaning crew?"

"You could say that"

Katherine giggled. "Tommy I couldn't ask you to waste your Saturday on me."

"Well you're not asking, I'm offering." He said smiling that same sweet smile that she first fell in love with.

Kat looked at him skeptically before replying. "Fine, you could help but if you get tired you let me know right away and you could leave." She said and Tommy chuckled.

"Don't worry, you're looking at Tommy, all mighty white ranger here, what could go wrong?" he asked.

Kat smiled again. "Well it was nice seeing you again Tommy but I really have to head home, and try to clean up some more."

"Good to see you too Kat, I guess I'll see you tomorrow in school then."

"Ya, sure, tomorrow"

"Bye"

"Bye Tommy"

And with that said both of them hopped into their vehicles driving off and hoping that Saturday would come sooner.
