SOS To The World

Chapter One: Arrival

By Angellwings

Jason met me at the gate when I finally arrived. My flight was delayed as almost most flights nowadays are.

"Hey" he said with a smile and a hug. "I'm glad you could make it."

"I'm glad I could, too" I told him as we started toward baggage claim. "I needed some time off very badly."

"You know, Kim is very excited you decided to stay with us." Jason said suggestively.

"Oh, you mean she's become an over obsessed perfectionist?" I asked him knowingly.

"Exactly, I'm glad you're gonna be there. You know how to deal with Obsessive-Compulsive Kimberly better than I do."

"You know it's only gonna get worse in the next two months." I said as I laughed and patted him on the shoulder.

"Don't remind me. She has already made Adam, Rocky, and me rearrange the furniture THREE times, and I thought everything looked pretty nice before we moved it all."

"You'll get through it I'm sure." I said with slight amusement. "By the way How are Adam and Rocky?"

"They're getting the car actually." He said with a wink and a grin in my direction.

"Jason Lee Scott what does that mean?"

"What? We all know you had a crush on Adam when you first met him."

"That was in High School, Jason, and besides it only lasted for a week."

"Okay, Trini, whatever you say." Jason said to me as my bag appeared on the conveyer belt.

"You can be infuriating sometimes, you know that?" I asked as we both pulled my bag off the belt.

"Yes, thanks to you and Kimmie I am well aware of that." He said with a chuckle.

"You guys need any help?" A friendly voice asked from behind us.

"Rocky!" I said with excitement as I gave him a hug.

"Hey Trini!" he said with equal excitement "Adam's got the car waiting, are you guys ready?"

"Yeah, let's go." Jason said as hoisted my suitcase up. "Geez, Trini what did you pack in here bricks?"

"No, I packed presents for your future baby. If you want me to throw them out I will" I answered him playfully.

"No, that's okay. The less I have to buy the better."

Jason and Rocky loaded my suitcase in the car rapidly.

"I call shotgun!" Rocky yelled in a child like manner.

"Yes, and I say Trini gets shotgun." Jason said authoritatively.

"Hey! But I- OW!" Rocky cried as Jason elbowed him in the ribs "Okay, Trini gets shotgun."

I laughed and climbed in the passenger seat of the Huge Ford Excursion.

"Hey Trini" Adam said as he leaned over and gave me a quick hug. "I haven't seen you in a while."

"It has been a long time hasn't it?" I asked with a grin.

"A very long time. So, how's the Peace Conference?" He asked as he focused on the traffic around him.

"The same. The same kind of over-achieving teenagers, the same boring monotone professors, and the same useless mock UN meetings." I said with what I knew had to be a bored tone. Truth be told, My job was very boring. Yes, sometimes it was rewarding but most of the time these kids already knew what you were trying to teach them. They were all so perfect it was scary.

"You ever think about trying to find a job here?" Jason asked.

"All the time."

"Then why don't you? I'm sure there are lots of colleges dying to have you instruct for them." Adam said in his usual soft tone.

"Thanks," I said with a slight blush. "Maybe I'll look into it while I'm down here, then."

"I've got a friend that works at Angel Grove University. I'll give you his number I'm sure he could help you." Rocky said with an enthusiastic smile.

"Oh, wow. Rocky that would be great! Thanks." I said optimistically.

When we reached the house Kim was the first person to greet me.

"Look at you!" I said with shock Kimberly's stomach was huge.

"I know, Seven months can you believe it!" She squealed.

"Why didn't you guys tell me sooner?" I asked, I was kind of hurt but I knew that didn't mean anything by it.

"What do you mean? We left like five messages with your secretary when we found out four months ago." Kim asked in confusion.

"You did? That's strange. I never got any messages."

"I'm sorry; I guess I should have written you or something." Kim said guiltily.

"No, no, Kim, your fine, but trust me when I get back my secretary is definitely fired." I said with a smile as I hugged my best friend.

"Well, come on in, let's get you settled, take that luggage on in to her bedroom guys." Kim commanded, and boy did they ever listen. It was really entertaining to see them so scared of tiny little Kimberly and her hormones.

"So when is everybody else getting here?" I asked as we casually walked into the house.

"Um . . . two or three days. Tommy is gonna be late something about his research at Mercer industries . . . I can't exactly remember. Billy and Kat are flying in on Monday. So, they will be here the soonest. But until then it's just me and you and the guys. We are going to have so much fun. I've got these boys trained." She said with a wicked smile as we entered the front door.

"Well, I gotta go" Adam said as we stepped through the door, but I'll see you guys tomorrow. Later guys, Bye Kim." Adam said as he gave Kim a brotherly peck on the cheek. He started to walk out the door, but stopped short and turned around.

"And Trini, Welcome Home." He said with a smile.

And for some reason all I could do was smile and nod. Oh yeah, and blush furiously.
