Chapter two:
Kim grimaced as Grace turned her plate upside down on her head, smearing potatoes into her curly red hair, she'll have to give her a bath later. Troy grabbed a handful of mashed potatoes and threw the glob at Ruby.
"Okay," Kim stated, standing up, "I think you three are done."
As she went to grab a washcloth, Tommy's Great Aunt called out, "Wait, you can't leave the table until we all say what we are thankful for."
Kim looked exasperated towards Tommy, really couldn't she wait half an hour for her to get the babies cleaned up.
Tommy shrugged, running a hand through his short locks, he never cared for his great aunt who never accepted him into the family, calling him a stay, "I'm thankful for a beautiful wife who loves me no matter what, or how crazy life gets."
"I bet it was shocking when he cut his hair," Aunt Jill stated.
Tommy rolled his eyes, his long hair had been Aunt Jill's favourite thing to complain about, "not really, the family knew I was doing it."
"We video taped it," Ronny stated.
"We tried video Aunt Trini's reaction, but she totally didn't notice until we came up for July," Kira added.
"We were dealing with a crisis, nobody had time to notice a hair cut, no matter how drastic."
"Though it was fun telling my brother he cut it back in February when he asked about it when we were up this summer." Kim replied, while wiping Troy's face. Troy grabbed hold of the wash cloth causing Kim to sigh, "I'm going to need another washcloth."
"Just rinse the one you used out," Mrs. Oliver insisted, "it can get the worst off and a bath can do the rest."
"Ahh..." Ruby screeched, before disappearing and reappearing on the floor were she quickly crawled away.
Tommy winched, this was way he had asked his mom to keep the dinner party small, and not invite anyone else, "I'll go capture our Houdini. Good luck with Mr Tug-a-war, oh, and call Star for damage control."
"What in the world is going on, how did that baby get out of her high chair?"
"Mommy and Daddy are superheroes. Daddy once stopped a run away car by himself!" Nick exclaimed.
"I see," the elderly lady said, "and you all have super powers I assume."
"I'm going to have super speed when I grow up."
"I'm going to be able to fly," Kira stated.
"I can lift things with my mind." Nick announced.
"No you can't!"
"Yes I can!" Nick shouted at Ronny.
"Prove it."
"I wish I can, but I can't do it on command. I don't know how I did it in the first place." Nick informed Kira.
"And the Triplets teleport?" Aunt Jill asked.
Kim glared at her, while she often referred to them as the Triplets when referring to all three of them she was well aware that each one was unique with their own special power, "No, Troy has Super Grip, it is almost impossible to take something from him, Ruby has short range teleportation, and Grace." She glanced at her youngest daughter, "her powers haven't shown up yet."
Just then someone stepped out of a glowing pink circle, "Someone call for editing."
...
Kim sighed as she finished drying Ruby off and zipping her into a pair of pink footie pajamas. She scooped her and her siblings up and went to head the bedroom. Ronny was seating on the bed, "Can we go over to Grandpa and Grandma Scott please?"
"We're spending all day with them tomorrow," Kim replied, depositing the triplets into their portable cribs.
"But we don't want to stay here!" Kira whined, entering the room, "Great Aunt Jill is here, and she's mean. The best thing that happened was when Star knocked her out. She called me a tramp because I was wearing lip gloss."
"She told me no not would marry me because I'm not lady like," Ronny added.
Kim rolled her eyes she loved Star, and secretly agreed with her knocking the elderly lady out but it was quite clear that Star didn't have much people skills, "I know that Aunt Jill can get your nerves but she is Grandma Oliver's Aunt, we need to respect her."
Just then Nick came running into the room, sobbing uncontrollably, "She said that there is no such thing of Santa and that you and Daddy are bad parents to encourage us to believe in such nonsense."
Kim saw red as she stormed out of the room, Jill had just cross a line. Nobody makes one of her children to cry and gets away with it, and to tell him such a lie. Tommy I need you now. She shouted angrily through her mental link.
As she came down the stairs she started to shout, "How dare you tell my son that! You have no right to be so cruel to my children. Say what you want about me and my husband, but leave my children out of this!"
Tommy quickly retreated back down to the basement, "Don't go up there, nothing is more dangerous than a pink ranger going Mama bear."
"HOW DARE YOU CALL MY CHILDREN STRAYS!" they heard Kim bellowed, Tommy half expected to see Jason teleport in to see what the ruckus was.
Kim was fuming, even Mrs. Oliver had fled the scene as she told Great Aunt Jill just what she felt about her telling her children there was no Santa, "The Power Rangers went to the north pole to help with Santa, and if you can't trust a power ranger who can you trust."
"Power Rangers are violent, the monsters would leave us alone if the power rangers didn't keep attacking them."
Kim wanted to smack her, as hard as she could, first she made Kira and Ronny miserable with her nitpicking, then she made Nick cry, and now she was insulting her entire family at once, she had overstepped her boundaries big time. Kim took a deep breath forcing herself to calm down, blowing her up would lead to a really awkward conversation with the police.
However, before Kim could respond, Mrs. Oliver did, "Aunt Jill, I'll call a cab for you, it's getting late and you must be getting tired."
Aunt Jill muttered something to herself about knowing when she wasn't welcomed, before storming out of the house.
Kim glanced nervously at her mother in law, "Thanks, I don't know what possessed me, I've never gotten that angry with someone, except Goldar, he always got on my last nerve."
"You were possessed by Mama bear, it happens to all of us, you just have the ability to actually do some real harm."
