Chapter 7 (The Red Mission and A Pissed-Off Pink)
April 28, 2002, New York City, Kim and Danny's Apartment, around 6am
A phone rings throughout the apartment; a door opens to reveal a rumpled, just woke up Kim. She finds the phone and answers, "Hart and Johnson's residents, Kim speaking . . . Kat, calm down, breathe . . ." Kim heads to the kitchen, grabs a mug, pours the coffee that Danny made into the mug, and takes a big gulp, ". . . okay. Try that one more time slower."
"Do you know when Jason and the others will be back from the Moon?" Kat fanatically asks.
"Jason and who are one the moon?" Kim disbelieves.
"The Reds. You know the mission to the moon." Kat replays.
"What mission to the moon?" Kim bristles.
"The one to destroy the rest of the Machine Empire and Serpentera."
"When?"
"They left a couple of days ago. I haven't heard anything at all. Jas said that as soon as they landed back on Earth, he would call me. The mission shouldn't have taken this long, right?"
Kim starts glowing Pink, "Did Jason say who was in charge of this mission?"
"No, but I thought Tom and you were, right?"
The Pink aura darkens, "No, Tommy nor Jason told me about this damn mission!"
"Oops"
"Kat, where are you?"
"My living room, why?"
"Stay there. I'm going to contact Trini to teleport me there, then I'm going to phone Aisha, Ashley, Cassie, Kendrix, and Dana. I think they should know where their men are." Kim orders.
"Okay, Kim, but don't kill Jas, when he returns." Kat begs.
"I'm not going to kill him," Kat sighs, "I'm going to torture him."
Kat tries to plead with Kim, but Kim is seeing Pink and clicks the phone off. She quickly dials Trini's cell and orders Trini to teleport her to Jason's living room. Trini obeys because she could almost feel Kim's anger through the phone. Kim gets a hold of all the ladies and finds out that Rocky isn't on the mission because he didn't want to leave Aisha so close to her due date. Kendrix knows about the mission, but the others were told that their husbands were on a 'business trip'. They inform Kim that when they got home they were in Big trouble.
April 28, 2002, NASADA Hanger, around Noon
Cole states amazingly, "So, that was Tommy. He really is the greatest Ranger!" The other Reds laugh and scoff. "What? What'd I say?"
T.J. speaks, "Well . . . I wouldn't go that far. After all, I was the one who replaced him."
Jason inputs his opinion, "Are you kidding me? I was doing all the work while he was at the Juice Bar kissing on Kimberly." T.J., Andros, Leo, and Carte chuckle at that, knowing Kim and all.
Carter chimes in, "Alright, well, at least his haircut's regulation now. Right?" Remembering the first time he met the Red leader.
Eric banters, "My Q-Rex would eat his Dragonzord for lunch!" He gestures like a dinosaur munching down.
Leo adds his two cents, "He never discovered new galaxies."
Wes boosts, "Hey, wa . . . wa . . . wait, I changed history. So why does he have a fan club, and I don't?"
Andros adds, "Hey I saved two worlds. What about that?"
T.J. antes up, "Wai . . . Wai . . . Wai . . . Wait! Did I ever tell you guys about the time I got baked in that giant pizza?"
Everyone but Cole replies, "YES!!!!"
Jason speaks, "Hey, you guys want to come back to my place and celebrate?"
T.J. asks, "Is Kat still in her pie-baking mode?"
Jason nods.
"Oh, I'm so there. I just have to make a statement to the press and I'll meet you there." T.J. bolts to his car and peels out of the lot.
"I would love to come, but my team still has a villain to fight." Cole states.
"You sure, Kid?" Jason asks; Cole nods. "Okay, here my business card, contact me when your service is done."
Cole takes the card, morphs, calls on his Wild Force Rider, and leaves.
"How about the rest of you?" Jason puts forth.
All say, "Sure." Wes continues, "Directions?"
"Just follow me. I have to call Kat before we leave." Jason pulls out his cell and dials, "Kat, Sweetie, all clear. Zord destroyed . . . no casualties . . . no real injuries . . . what do you mean, what do I mean? . . . a few bruises and scrapes, No biggie . . ." Jason pulls the phone away from his ear.
"NO BIGGIE! THE LAST TIME YOU SAID THAT YOU NEARLY DIED! PUT TOM ON! HE WON'T LIE TO ME!"
"He has already left." Jason assets.
"WHAT!? T.J. or Andros?!"
"Here, Andros," Jason hands the phone to Andros, who assures Kat that Jason is in one piece and perfectly capable of walking and driving. He hand the phone back to Jason and whispers to the others, "I'm glad that I didn't tell Ashley where I was going." Carter, Leo, and Wes chuckle.
"Sweetie, I'm bringing Andros, Carter, Leo, Wes, and Eric home with me, while Teejee will enjoin us later, okay? . . . Okay, we'll see you in a couple of hours." Jason clicks his phone off and turns to the guys, "Never marry a Pink; they are fucking insane and scary." Jason flinches; afraid that either Kat or Kim heard him.
Jason and Kat's House, Living Room, around 2pm
Jason and the Reds enter and see Kat curled up on the love seat with one of Jason's shirts in her hands. The guys make themselves comfortable on the couch and chairs in the room. While Jason grabs a blanket and covers Kat. He whispers, "I'll go get drinks and a pie or two. Try and be quiet."
He leaves, grabs a variety of drinks and two pies, returns, and places the tray on the coffee table. He notices that it is too quiet, "Guys, you can make some noise, just quietly." He looks up and sees a dark glowing Pink Kim glaring at him and the Reds, "Uh-oh."
"Uh-oh is right, Jason. So where is your fearless leader?"
"Gone"
Rocky and T.J. enter the room behind Kim and whisper to each other, "We haven't missed the entertainment."
"Boys, move over to the other Reds." Kim orders. They follow her order. "So whose idea was it to lie to you significant others?"
Jason, Leo, and Rocky start, "We didn't . . ."
Kim puts her hand up, "Shut up, I'll deal with you three late. I want to know: whose idea?"
The others reply, "Our own."
"Well, for your information, they have been informed." They start to complain. "Enough. I don't believe you want me to get any madder. I don't think it was wise to your significant others. It will only get you into bigger trouble. Now, you two. (pointing to Wes and Eric.) Names and Ranger Color."
Wes salutes, "Wes Collins, Red Time Force Ranger."
Eric snaps, "Who are you to order us around?"
Carter speaks, "You don't want to piss her off. Well any more than she already is."
"Why?"
"Trust us. You don't want to know why." Leo affirms.
"Why should I obey her command?" Eric demands.
Kim's Pink aura darkens, "You don't want to fight with me right now. I am not in the mood to teach you a lesson. I'll end up really hurting you."
"I serious . . ." Jason, T.J., and Carter clap their hands over Eric's mouth. Jason answers for him, "He is Eric Myers, the Red Quantum Ranger from Time Force."
"The Rogue Ranger?" Kim questions.
The others release Eric, "Yeah, what's it to you?"
Kim's aura flares, causing the other Reds to step back, "You have a lot to learn, Rookie."
"Rookie? I'm no . . ."
"You are a rookie until I decided you're not. Now, you (points to Jason) why didn't you tell me about this mission?"
"Because . . ."
"How could you leave your very pregnant wife for some dangerous, life-threatening mission?"
"Because . . ."
"How could you not inform the Second-In-Command of the Rangers of this mission?"
"Because . . ."
"Did you know how worried Kat has been?"
"No . . ."
"Did you know that she called me bawling because she thought you were dead?"
Jason looks sullen, "No . . ."
"Do you know that your punishment for going on this mission is going to therapy?"
"No . . . what?!" Jason demands.
"Yep, you and the other Reds are going to Group therapy." Kim orders.
"But . . ."
"NO BUTS!! I am ordering you all into therapy. We will meet on Saturday afternoons. All of you have problems or issues you need to deal with. We will work on these issues. Whenever there is a new team retired, I will approach the Red Ranger and order him to join Group."
"Wait a minute. We?" Rocky doubts he heard right.
"Yes, all of you Reds and me. I have been thinking since Jason's Wedding about what he said. He said that if you went to a regular therapist that some of your identities would be revealed, that the therapist wouldn't understand what you have been through, and that no Red would talk. I can order you talk, especially if I believe it is the best for the 'family'. Your identities would remain secret and I would understand some of the stuff you been through and if I can't then the other Reds might." Kim explains.
"You know, Little Terror, that is an excellent idea." Jason starts to sling his arm over her shoulder.
Kim glares at Jason, "I still mad at you. And I know that you are feeling 'guilty' about some else. You might as well 'fess up now."
"But . . ."
"Save it. You have, all of you, a lot of making up to do. I will allow you to enjoy your victory, but tomorrow your punishment starts." They all groan.
Eric speaks, "I still don't understand why I have to or should follow the orders of a Pink."
"You know, Rookie, I have calmed down enough that I can show you why."
Kim leads them to Jason's Rec Room; she starts to warm up. Eric declares, "I'm not fighting you."
"Yeah, you are. It is the only way to gain your respect."
They spar as the other Reds watch. Everyone besides Wes know that Eric is going to be joining the exclusive and secret (from Kim at least) 'Reds that have had their asses kicked by Kim' club. Everyone besides Wes and Eric are members with Jason, Rocky, and T.J. as VIP (Very Infuriating to Pinks). About an hour after starting, Eric finally gives.
"So, Wes, want to go next." Kim calls out.
"No, thanks, I have already had my ass whipped by a Pink; I really don't want to have it again." He drops to a whisper so the Reds around him could hear, "I was sore for a week and it was when I was an active Ranger."
The others laugh and decide that Wes is in the club by default. Kim goes over to Eric and offers a hand up, "Welcome to the 'Reds that have had their asses kicked by Kim' club."
Everyone, but Wes, stop walking towards Kim and Eric. Kim turns to them, "Did you really think you could keep it from me?"
Eric disbelieves, "There is a club for this?"
The others reply, "Yeah, it was started by Jason and Tom."
"You mean Tom Oliver, Red Leader?" Wes and Eric express.
"Yeah, but that was a few years ago. He learned not to piss off Kim, but Jason is a little slow on the uptake. He pisses her off at least once a week." Rocky informs, as he dodges a slug from Jason.
The others laugh; Kim stiffens and starts to glow Pink again.
"Little Terror?"
Before he gets an answer, Tommy comes in, "Bro, I totally forgot that I needed to drop off something for you and Kat. What!?" He notices that everyone is very quiet. He finally realizes that Kim is glowing and very pissed. "Kim?"
"DON'T 'KIM' ME! YOU AND THE REDS WENT ON A MISSION ON THE DAMN MOON AND FORGOT TO INFORM YOUR SECOND ABOUT IT!!!"
"But, Kimmie . . ."
"Save it. I thought you knew better than the rest of these jerks, but no-o-o-o-o. You are just like them. You are such a jerk! I HATE YOU!" Kim runs out of the room.
Tommy hangs his head down. "I really screwed up, didn't I?"
"Yep, Bro. What were you thinking?" Jason scolds.
Tommy sinks to the floor, "I wasn't. I was planning on telling her. I called her apartment after Andros called me, but he answered. I just got so mad that he was there that I hung up. Then I forgot to call her back after I called everyone else. I really don't like him."
"No body does. He is worse than any other of her boyfriends. He gives me the creepiest feeling, worse than even George did." Jason spiels.
"So what do I do now?" Tommy broods.
"Go talk to her and let her kick your ass." T.J. suggests.
Tommy gets up, looks around the house, and finds Kim in one of the guest rooms. He knocks before entering. He sits next to her on the bed, where she is laying face down with her face in a pillow. "Kim, I'm sorry. I did try to call you, but he answered the phone and I didn't want him to know anything was up. Then I just forgot to call you after I contacted everyone else. Kimmie, I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you, honest."
Kim turns her head to face him; he notices the tear stains and red eyes and winces. "I'm your Second, one of your best friends. You didn't even tell me that you had sent Andros to the moon to check things out. Tommy, if we are suppose to trust each other, you need to start telling me things. I don't like it when you keep things from me. It makes me wonder what else you might be hiding from me. Promise me that you won't do it again."
"I promise, Kim." Tommy vows.
"Okay." Kim sits up and faces him. "You still aren't off the hook yet, buddy."
"I know."
"If you do me a favor, I'll call it even."
"Anything."
"Take ballroom dance lessons with me this summer." Kim orders. Kim is training some therapists for her company for three months in California.
"What about Will?"
"He doesn't want to and he is busy in New York. I'm training a few therapists for my bosses here in Cali."
"He won't have a problem with me taking the lessons with you?" Tommy doubts.
"I'm sure he won't. even if he does, he will have to tough it out. What is your and Jas's deal with Will? Neither of you like him. Will is a real sweet guy."
Tommy shrugs, "We both just have a gut feeling that there is something off about him."
"Oh, okay." Kim touches Tommy's hair. "You cut your hair?"
"I told you I did."
"No," still running her fingers through his shorter locks, "You said you trimmed it, not hacked it off." Kim clarifies.
"Don't like it?" He frets.
"It is different. It gives you more of a dangerous look."
"Is that bad?"
"I didn't say that. I think it is sexier; you will definitely catch a few more eyes. Why you cut it?" Kim queries.
"Needed a change. And Mercer said that I needed a more mature look."
"Oh, so you cut your beautiful hair and get another earring?" Kim taunts.
"Yeah, the earring was a drunken stint with the boys." Tommy meekly replies.
"Oh, story."
Tommy groans, "You remember that weekend where Zack and Rocky want an outing with the boys. And we went to Vegas." Kim nods. "It was also the weekend I found out the Mercer accepted my internship, so we celebrated a little too much. When I woke up, I had a new piercing. I'm just glad it was my ear and not anywhere else."
Kim burst out laughing, "Oh, Tommy, only you would wake up and not remember how you got a piercing."
"Ha ha, very funny, Forgetful Tommy forgets." Tommy pretends to offended. "So you like the haircut or not."
"Well, I'll miss the old one, but I could get used to this one." She teases. "I guess we should get back to the others; Jas might worry I killed you or something."
Tommy laughs and helps her out of the bed. "Just don't tell them my punishment. Tell them that you creamed my ass."
"They will figure it out eventually, especially Jas, Rocko, Teejee, and Andy."
"I know; I just don't want it to be any time soon."
She snickers, "Okay. I swear I won't be the one telling them."
They rejoin the celebration with Kat, Aisha, and the Reds.
