A/N: And here's chapter two. Not a whole lot to say here.
One minute left. One long minute. Kimberly was doing her nails, Jason was asleep, and Billy was the only one in the class still listening to the teacher and taking notes. Tommy hadn't been able to focus all day. He had a billion thoughts running through his head. He had a date planned with Kimberly tonight, for starters. But that was as far as they'd planned. Another thought was the White Ranger Powers. He felt like a little kid, but he honestly wanted to play around with them some. He had only morphed once, for a short battle, and was itching to see just what he was fully capable of here. Especially that Tigerzord. Man, that thing was awesome. Hey, there was an idea. Maybe Zordon would let him and Kim take it for a short joyride tonight. Just to test it and all. And then there was the whole thing where he had taken over the leadership role. He and Jason were in a few classes together, but hadn't spoken. Thankfully there'd been some other Rangers there too. Then there was this David guy. He seemed pretty cool, he'd met most of the team first thing in the morning, and Tommy and Jason a little later. Billy and David were actually getting to be pretty good friends really fast, since they were in most of each others classes. Finally, the bell rang. Tommy got up as Kimberly and Billy packed their things up and Jason mumbled something incoherent, waking up as well.
"Finally! The weekend! I thought it would never come!" Kimberly said as the four of them headed out the door into the hall.
"I agree, time really did seem to pass much slower than usual." Billy added on.
"So what's the plan for the day guys?" Tommy asked.
"I don't know, Mr. Leader. You tell us." Kimberly said with a laugh, immediately regretting what she said as a silence fell between them.
It was Jason himself who finally said something. "I've got to move some furniture for my uncle, but I should be free after that."
"Furniture? Do you need any assistance?" Billy asked.
"Zack said he'd help out, but I could always use a third man if you're up for it." Jason answered as they reached their lockers and he turned the code on his, opening it and dumping all his books in.
"Sure, that would be great." Billy answered as he opened his, and added some books to the pile in his hands.
Tommy nodded as Zack and Trini joined the group, with David in tow. "Well, I guess it's off to the youth center for the rest of us then."
"Do you mind if David comes with us, everyone?" Trini asked as they all got their books and stuff for the weekend, and headed out towards the parking lot.
"Of course not," Tommy answered. "You practice any martial arts, David?"
"Yea, actually. It's been a really big hobby of mine for a long time. Care for a spar later?" David responded, and Tommy's eyes lit up. That sounded so nice.
"That would be great." Tommy answered as they got to everyone's cars. Jason had an old, red Chevy pickup with a bench seat, Tommy had a white Jeep Wrangler, Zack had a black Chevy Tahoe, and Trini had a yellow Honda Civic. Tommy smiled at how blatantly obvious they made it sometimes, but maybe it wasn't that obvious to others. David, parked near them luckily, got into his dark green Range Rover.
"You guys have to show me the way!" He called over to them.
Tommy got into his Jeep, and Kimberly climbed into the passenger seat. Zack and Billy climbed into his Tahoe, while Jason and Trini got into their respective cars. Tommy held up his hand and gave David a thumbs up.
They all pulled out of the parking lot, and Jason and Zack broke off, heading towards his uncle's place.
"You alright, Tommy?" Kimberly asked as she watched the two vehicles head off.
"Of course." Tommy answered quickly. Too quickly. Damn.
Kimberly smiled and shook her head. She knew what was going on between the two people closest to her. And honestly, she had no idea what to do here. "Hey, don't worry. Everything will be fine."
Tommy couldn't help but smile. It was good to know that someone thought that. "Thanks, Kim."
Trini and Kimberly were sitting at the Ranger table, watching Tommy and David go at it in a pretty intense match up. David was really good. And Kimberly couldn't help but smile when she saw the look in Trini's eyes as she watched the match. She kind of wondered if that was the way she looked at Tommy when she first saw him. Either way, it looked really funny.
"Trini!" Kimberly yelled loudly on purpose, causing Trini to jump and scream a bit.
Catching her breath, Trini looked at Kimberly. "My goodness, what!?"
All Kimberly could do was laugh. "You're totally head over heels for David!"
"Kimberly! I am not!" Trini replied, blushing by now, causing Kim to laugh that much harder.
"Oh come on! I see the way you're looking at him." Kim said, grinning from ear to ear.
"He has an excellent fighting style and I'm trying to see if there are any moves I can put in mine." Trini tried to cover, but she knew she didn't have a chance.
Kimberly wanted to keep going, but stopped as Tommy and David came up to the table, and sat down with them.
"Hey girls!" Tommy said all cheerfully.
"So how'd it go?" Kimberly asked.
"David, man you're a beast. Not a lot of people can fight that well. I'm really impressed." Tommy said, looking to David.
"Thanks, Tommy. I appreciate it." David replied, rubbing the back of his neck. He wasn't really used to being complimented. He usually kept to himself and didn't hang around with people. He was really glad that was starting to change.
"I was really impressed by your skill." Trini said suddenly, trying not to blush.
David looked at her, and smiled. The two of them just sat there staring at each other, trying to figure out what to say. Just as Trini was wishing for it, it happened. Tommy's communicator went off. Kim, with her lightning reflexes, reached across the table and grabbed Tommy's wrist, muffling out the sound so no one could hear it. David, however, looked at the two of them, and noticed the worried look on Kimberly's face.
"Is...everything ok?" David asked hesitantly, not sure what Kimberly's sudden action was all about.
Kim's mind was racing, as well as Tommy's. Just how the hell were they supposed to get away from this one? Finally, Kim had an idea. "Tommy, I'm pregnant."
Tommy's eyes widened. "Kim!"
"I'm sorry, I found out last night and I was afraid to tell you and I..."
Tommy cut her off. "Kim, Kim. Let's...let's...wow. We need to talk." Kim nodded, and she and Tommy got up, leaving in a haste.
Trini and David just looked at each other.
"Um...David, I'm really sorry, but I think I need to go be with them." Trini said, trying to sound as worried as possible.
David just nodded really fast. "Yea. Yea, I think so. We'll catch up later?"
"That sounds great." Trini smiled, and rushed out the door. She ran around the back side of the building and looked around, making sure no one was there. Pregnant!? I know it's Friday and all...but pregnant!? Trini finally let herself laugh, and teleported to the Command Center in a streak of yellow light.
David just sat there at the Ranger table, shocked by what had just happened. Shocked, and well, alone. Again. He was getting to be absolutely sick of being by himself. He finished his smoothie and got up, heading out the door towards his car, lost in his thoughts. Back in Seattle, David didn't have a lot of friends. Well, any friends actually. He had wanted to change that when he got to this town, and things seemed to be going just fine. Tommy had impressed him with his martial arts skills, something David had trained in all his life. Billy was opening up quite fast, as well, he really liked him. And then Trini. David smiled at the thought of Trini. She was a martial artist herself, though he had yet to see her in action. But she was so beautiful. David really wanted to get to know her better. Yea, these were good people. Maybe this was the start over he needed.
He was pulled right out of his thoughts when he saw Tommy and Trini's cars still here. He looked around, seeing if he could find them to make sure everything was alright. While looking over the area, he thought about the other members of this little group. He didn't really understand Kim, and honestly he just didn't like her. She was just so annoyingly energetic, and then she went and dropped a bombshell like that on Tommy in the middle of the youth center? He shook his head. He didn't really like Zack all that much either, now that he thought about it, another case of too much energy. He decided that he needed to give them a chance, though. After all, they were giving him one. He thought about the last member he had met, Jason. Jason was very interesting. It was clear to him that the other five thought of him as their older brother, and David remembered that look Jason had given him when he caught David staring at Trini. It had downright scared the crap out of him. He didn't know Jason enough to make a real judgement, yet, however. He finished his survey of the area, seeing no sign of his three friends, so he headed back to his car, got it, and headed out of the parking lot towards his house, figuring it would just be another lonely Friday night.
A/N: Nothing too exciting here, just trying to get the story set up. If someone can think up a good monster idea for me, that'd be great. I'm not that good with these things. And please review!
