It was a fairly sunny Saturday afternoon, and Tommy and Jason were in Tommy's backyard, having a sparring session they rarely ever have. Tommy was happily married to Katherine Hillard and had a 1-year-old little girl, Tricia. They lived in Angel Grove; somewhere a lot of ex-rangers were living at as well. Tommy would usually spend his Saturday watching television or bringing Tricia to the park. But on this particular afternoon, Kat had brought Tricia to a friend's tea party and it just so happened that Jason and Tommy were having a little chat on the phone the day before, and Jason agreed to go over the next day to have a little one on one thing.

Jason, on one hand, was being really… nervous? He didn't know. Okay, deep breath. That's all he needed. He couldn't really concentrate. His mind was being a stubborn piece of shit… he wanted to focus on the sparring session he was currently having but NO. What is he thinking about instead? A dinner. A fucking simple dinner he was having tonight with an old friend and her husband. Her husband. Jason actually managed to resist the urge to roll his eyes at the thought of him. Kyle was the world's best actor. Really, if the were a 'best act in front of wife' trophy, he would win first place for-

Jason's thoughts were cut short when a fist connected to his torso. He let out a small groan of pain.

"Jase! What's up man? You seem pretty distracted." Tommy asked in confusion. He had noticed that Jason was not really concentrating, like his mind had drifted somewhere else.

"Huh? Nothing man…lets take a break." Jason panted as he walked up to the bench and sat down, took his bottle and gulped down all the water he could manage. He finally let the tip of the bottle go and closed the cap. He looked really uneasy.

"Don't tell me you're nervous about the dinner with Kim?" Tommy said as his eyebrows rose slightly.

"No…..okay, fine, maybe. But that's not a yes!" Jason said in a defensive tone.

Tommy let out a light laugh. "Dude. Seriously? You guys have known each other since the very start of life. Why panic now?"

"I know man. But I just haven't seen her in forever. I miss her…and we wouldn't be eating with her and her husband now if…if…" Jason trailed off. He looked down at his lap. He could never forgive himself for what he did.

"If you hadn't broken up with her…" Tommy said quietly.

Jason slowly lifted up his head and fixed his gaze at Tommy. "Yea… that. Do you know how many times I punched myself for what I did? But I did do it for a reason…but it was definitely not worth it. Gosh, if only I could turn back time."

Tommy knew what he meant. He understood. He knew Jason had a reason for everything…but didn't dare ask. It would only bring back even more bad memories.

"Look Jase, I know how sad you must feel, and I definitely understand. But don't you think you should let it go somehow? Don't worry about it man, just go for the dinner with confidence. I'm sure she would be more than glad to see you." Tommy said with a small smile.

"I guess you're right. Gotta let go. Thanks, man. I really appreciat- Holy shit!" Jason almost shouted as he looked at his watch.

"It's almost 5! I seriously need to go man. I have to shower and get ready for tonight! Damn, gotta call a cab." Jason said as he pulled out his phone and went to his contact list.

"Oh…dude! You have a taxi driver in your contacts list? Forever alone man, forever alone." Tommy joked. "Hey…why do you need a cab for? Don't you have your own car?"

"Yea I do but the engine is broken and I've sent it to the workshop but it's gonna take like a week more…something about having lots of other customers." Jason shrugged.

"Well that sucks. How bout I give you a lift home?" Tommy suggested.

"Man, that'd be great. Thanks. And we should really spar or go to the gym sometime again. My weekends are getting pretty boring." Jason said as he got up and started walking to Tommy's car.

"I agree. Wait…how bout we go to the gym together every Saturday now? I mean, my weekends are really free too ya know." Tommy called over his shoulder as he went into the house and grabbed his car keys.

When he came back out of the house, Jason had already grabbed his towel and bag and was standing next to the car, waiting for him.

"Sounds awesome. I'm definitely looking forward to it. So you gonna pick me up every week?" Jason smirked.

"In your dreams, big boy."

Hey guys, the dinner will be coming up in the next chapter, so don't worry. Please let me know what you guys think?
