A New Home…
Thanks for the reviews so far! This story will be kinda slow cos I wanna finish up Stars first. Only a few more chapters for that.
Anyways, hope you enjoy…
Chapter 2:
"DO you mind if we take my car? I don't get many chances to drive it. I usually hitch a ride with either Rocky or Adam." Kira asked.
Tommy nodded, "Sure, where is it?" Kira pointed to a black car that was parked about a block away. Tommy let out a low, appreciative whistle as the approached it. It was a black convertible with yellow racing stripes and a sleek leather upholstery. And on the hood the words "Ptera11" were painted in a shiny yellow.
"Nice car…" he stated.
Kira grinned at him, "I know, it's my pride and joy."
"Just how much are you earning? Maybe I should start working at a dojo…"
"Very funny, it was a gift from my parents for my 21st birthday." She paused and surveyed the car, "Of course I added the extra body work later."
Tommy opened the passenger door and slid into the seat. It was as comfortable as it looked.
He turned to Kira who was now seated next to him, "I get the Ptera part but I don't understand why the number 11"
Kira started the car and pulled out of her parking spot and into the road. "Because, we were the 11th ranger team. That is counting the variations on each team. You as green and white are counted as one though…"
Tommy counted off the teams on his fingers, 2 dino teams, zeo team, 2 turbo teams, space rangers team, lost galaxy team, lightspeed rescue team, time force team, wild force team and then their Dino Thunder team.
Kira snorted, "I can't believe you actually have to count. It was all on the video that you made!"
"I made that video a long time ago. SO sue me if I can't remember it all!"
"Face it Dr O, you're getting old. What are you now? 40? 50?"
"Not even close! Try 32…"
"32! No way! You seem way older than that!"
Tommy smiled smugly, "It's all about the maturity Kira…"
Kira smirked, "Actually, I was referring to the wrinkles."
"Very funny"
"Yeah it was."
"Ok then, moving away from the not so interesting topic of my age, you wanna tell me how come you gave up your singing career to work for frog and ape?"
"That's not a very interesting story. You don't want to hear it."
"Kira…" Tommy said sternly.
"Ok fine, when I went back to New York after helping out the overdrive rangers, I felt…out of place. Like now that I got my powers back, I was someone different and that I didn't belong. So I decided I needed to…well discover who I was, as stupid as it sounds. Anyway, I turned down the contract and traveled. On my way back to Reefside I stopped by here. And ran into Adam and the rest as they say is history." Kira paused, "We're here."
Tommy glanced up, he hadn't even realized that they had stopped. He looked at the building in which he had spent many hours as a teenager in. It looked the same…
"Why did Adam want you to bring me here?"
Kira grinned mischievously at him, "You'll see…" she said getting out of the car and leading the way in.
The first thing Tommy noticed when he went in was that the place had gotten a new paint job. The second was that Ernie was once again behind the counter taking orders. The third thing was the most horrific. The was a huge poster of him hanging on the wall opposite. It had the words "FIGHTING CHAMP TOMMY OLIVER WAS A CUSTOMER HERE…"
"OH MY GOD! Kira please tell me I'm dreaming!"
"Unfortunately for you bro, you're not. I can't believe they got the words wrong. Fight champ? It should say fighting chimp…" answered a new voice.
Tommy whirled around and saw someone he hadn't seen in a really long time…
NHNHNHNH
I am really sorry for this chapter being so short! Consider it a teaser for the next one…
