Angel Grove 1:00 a.m. October 31, 2004

Jason Scott heard a noise that was slowly waking him up. Kim, who was seven months pregnant, turned over with some difficulty and looked at Jason

"Jase answer the phone, it's on your side" said Kim yawning as she shut her eyes to go back to sleep with her hand on his chest.

"Hello" he answered groggily

What he heard made him sit straight up in bed causing Kim to be jolted awake. She watched as he hung up the phone and jumped out of bed and started to get dressed.

"Jason what's wrong?" asked Kim

"Just get dressed" he answered roughly as he ran into the bathroom shutting the door

Kim got out of bed as quickly as she could and started to get dressed. She did not like the look on his face and she prayed that she was wrong but she thought she heard crying coming from the bathroom.

An hour outside of Stone Canyon 2:30 a.m

Zack woke up with his pants vibrating. He had fallen asleep watching a movie, one that he had choreographed, with his girlfriend Katie and now was being rudely woke up with his phone going off. He quickly pulled his cell phone out of his pocket.

"Hello" he said more demanding than he meant

Zack quickly leapt over the couch and ran into his room threw some clothes in a bag and ran out the door never waking Katie up.

Stone Canyon 3:30 a.m.

Trini was jolted awake at the table where she was writing new soft ware program for her work. She jumped up from the table and stumbled to the phone.

"Hello" she answered her voice still groggy from sleep

When she hung all she could do was stumble back to her chair and cry.

Reef Side 6:00 a.m

Hayley stood there staring at Tommy, she was setting up the café for the morning crowd, while Tommy sat at the counter grading papers. She could not help but stare he was so cute, smart, kind and plus a really good kisser. She wished that they had just eloped like Tommy wanted to but no she wanted a traditional wedding so they would have to wait. They were supposed to have gotten married two years ago. When Tommy went to work for Mercer on the island were he found the Dino Gems. Then Mercer disappeared and Mesogog appeared. The then the island blew up and it took the coast guard half a day to find Tommy floating in the ocean. So now Hayley had to act like her and Tommy are just friends from college because Tommy thought it would be dangerous. He said that he would never forgive himself if something happened to her if he became a ranger again, which he did, and she got captured. According to Tommy monsters capture girlfriends.

Tommy got up from the counter and walked over to her and placed an arm around her waist and gave her a kiss.

"I forgot to say good morning" he said with a smile

"Good morning" she said as she put her head on his chest.

Hayley looked at her watch and pulled away.

"Kira and the guys will be here soon to help set up for tonight's Bash" she said

"How did they talk me into having it here, when the school is bigger" she asked

"Because you caved into Conner, Ethan, Trent, and Kira's sad faces and Cassidy's constant whining" Tommy said with a smug smile

Hayley just rolled her eyes and sighed.

"You know Hale it really is an honor that they like it here so much that they want to have the party here" said Tommy.

"Yeah it will be an honor when they don't break all my stuff" she said sighing again

This caused Tommy to start laughing he had just stopped when his cell phone rang. The teens walked in as Tommy jumped up from his chair and ran into the back to Hayley's office. Hayley wanted to rush after him but decide that would look obvious.

"What's wrong with Dr.O?" asked Ethan

"I don't know, I'll find out after I get you guys started with the decorations." said Hayley

The teens just nodded. As soon as Hayley got them started on different chores she rushed back to her office. She walked in the door to find Tommy sitting at her desk with his head in his hands sobbing. She quietly walked over to him and put her hand on his shoulder. He looked up but did not say anything.

"Tommy who was on the phone? What happened?" asked Hayley

"Jason called, you remember Billy don't you" asked Tommy

Hayley nodded, she had met Billy and the others a couple of times before Billy's wedding. They got along great with both of them loving science and computers they could sit down and talk for hours about a theory or what they like or disliked about a software program. What she really liked about him was that he didn't have a big head, he never bragged about how much he knew, he just wanted to help people. She remembered a few months ago Jason and Billy calling Tommy and screaming that they both going to be fathers within a month of each other. She thought Tommy would never stop smiling about becoming an uncle.

"Did something happen to Caroline and the baby?" asked Hayley softly and gently patted him on the back urging him to keep talking.

"Billy's dad called Jason and told him that Billy and Caroline had been in a bad car wreck and that…" he stopped as fresh tears slid down his face.

Hayley patted him again as she felt tears come to her own eyes.

"and that the doctor told him to contact both of their families, Mr.Cranston told Jason to call all of us because we are part of Billy's family" he said sadly Tommy then jumped up and reached into his pocket for his keys.

"I have to go the wreck was in Mariner Bay, that is a four hour drive, I have to go" he said quickly and turned towards Hayley.

Hayley gently took the keys from his hand.

"Tommy I'm not going to let you go by yourself let me make some calls and I will drive both of us there" she said calmly.

Tommy just nodded. He was shocked that Hayley had stayed with him this long especially after he had her asked to call off the wedding for a little while. She had been with him though it all the island, the gems, becoming the black ranger, the coma, everything and now she was here for him when he needed her the most the thought of losing one of his best friends was killing him and he was glad that she was going to be there if the news was bad. In just that moment he realized that he loved Hayley more than anything.

It took Hayley a few minutes on the phone to get extra people to come in to work but after she said they would get overtime more people became willing to come. After she got off the phone she turned towards Tommy.

"Go wait in the jeep, I want to make sure one of the guys has my cell number" she said

"You think they will be ok? What if Mesogog decides to attack?" asked Tommy

"They'll be fine, they know how to call the Zords and if things get really bad they will call you on the communicator, you trust them don't you?" asked Hayley.

"Yeah you're right and yes I completely trust them" answered Tommy.

Tommy quickly rushed though the café and to his jeep. Leaving the teens to wonder what was wrong.

"Hayley what's wrong?" asked Kira her voice full of concern

"Mine and Tommy's friend and his wife have been in a bad car wreck and …." she paused trying not to lose control of her emotions

"There not sure if they are going to make it" she said as a tear slipped down her face and she quickly wiped it away.

"So I need you guys to make sure this place is still standing when we get back, I have extra people coming in to help with tonight's party but still keep an eye open" Hayley said

The teens just nodded

"Oh, only contact Tommy if one of you needs a hospital you can reach me on my cell phone" she said as she turned around to leave but stopped and turned back around.

"One more thing I know none of you would bring anything illegal in here but if I come back and see or smell anything other than normal smells and sights your butts are toast you got that" she said as she rushed out the door because Tommy was honking the horn.

The teens stood there looking rather amused at Hayley last comment and then went back to putting up decorations.

Hayley got into the jeep and started it and slowly backed out then looked at Tommy.

"Sorry I was setting a few …um…guidelines for the party" Hayley said

Tommy nodded and looked at Hayley

"I love you" Tommy said softly

"I love you too" Hayley said as the headed towards the highway that would lead them to Mariner Bay and to Billy.
