Chapter Seven
Claire woke up the next morning and smiled. She went downstairs and her father was reading the morning paper. She kissed him on the cheek before making her own breakfast. She sat down and her father asked, setting the paper down.
"So, what's his name?"
"Tommy Oliver." Claire replied, taking a bite of her French toast.
"How old is he?" Her father sipped his coffee.
"He's a sophomore, like me." She sipped her orange juice.
"What are his parents like?"
"Um . . . I don't know. I haven't met them yet." Claire swallowed a bite of her eggs.
"Do you know what they do?" Her father asked, sipping his coffee again.
"No." Claire replied, sipping her orange juice again as she read the morning paper.
"What are his hobbies?"
Claire smiled and replied. "He's a martial artist."
"Good. He can protect you." Claire smiled into her French toast and finished her breakfast.
Claire went to meet her friends at the park and smiled at Tommy. He smiled back and kissed her gently. Claire sat next to him and Tommy said, making her laugh.
"Did you guys know her father's a retired General who used to be in the Marines?"
Kim grinned. "Yeah. We've all met her father. The guys are scared of him."
"Oh good, I'm not the only one who's terrified of your father." Tommy teased her.
"Hey! He's a perfectly nice man. He asked about you this morning."
"What did he ask?"
"He asked your name- I told him Tommy Oliver-, your age- that you're a sophomore like me-, what you're parents are like- I told him I didn't know-, what your parents do for a living- again, I didn't know-, and what your hobbies are- I told him martial arts and you know what his reply was?"
Tommy grinned. "What?"
"He said, and I quote 'Good. He can protect you.'" Tommy, Claire, and their friends burst out laughing.
"He actually said that?" Jason asked, clutching his sides.
"Yup. That was our breakfast conversation." Claire replied, grinning as she nodded her head.
Tommy hugged Claire close and whispered in her ear. "My parents are James and Vivienne Oliver and they are good, responsible people who ask all the questions necessary when I'm about to leave the house. My mom works at the hospital as a nurse and my dad is a lawyer."
"Good to know. I'll pass that along to my dad." Claire whispered back as Tommy kissed her neck.
"So tell us about your date." Kim said, making Tommy groan. Claire grinned at Tommy and told him about their date.
"He picked up right at six-thirty and we went to the theater. As it turned out, there was a movie playing that we were both dying to see so we saw that one. He bought the tickets and the popcorn and I bought the soda. We went into the theater and watched the movie.
"Afterwards, he took me home and we sat on my porch swing, just looking up at the stars and well, you can guess what happened. Then my dad walked out of the house, Tommy practically lept to his feet and he greeted my dad. My dad told him to relax and told Tommy to treat me right and they would have no problems. Then he went back inside the house."
"Sounds like you had a lot of fun last night." Kim teased. Both Tommy and Claire smiled as Claire settled herself between his legs and leaned back against his chest.
"Yeah. I would say so, wouldn't you Tommy?" Tommy kissed her cheek and replied.
"Definitely would say that." He looked at his watch and said, getting up.
"I have to go, I'm auditioning for a T.V. commercial."
"Good luck." Claire gave him a kiss for good luck and he grinned at her before running over to his car and driving away.
"I say we go to the beach for a day of relaxation in the sun." Zach said, rubbing his hands together.
"Sounds good to me." Trini replied.
"I'm in." Jason said, getting up.
"Same here." Kim smiled.
"I'll converge to the beach." The rangers gave Billy blank looks.
"He's coming." Trini translated.
"Count me in!" Claire grinned.
"Great. We'll meet in half an hour at the beach then." Jason supplied and they went to their houses to change.
They arrived at the beach and they were all wearing their signature colors. Claire was wearing a green bathing suit and Kim grinned at her. Claire responded to Kim's look as they walked to the beach.
"Green is a good color on me. It also just happens to be my boyfriend's color too."
"I'm didn't say anything. You look good in it, by the way."
"Thanks." Claire and Kim looked at each other and laughed.
The rangers and Claire picked a spot on the beach and set their stuff down. They were playing a game of Volleyball when there was a flash and Scorpina appeared. The rangers stood in front of Claire and she stood behind Jason, blocking Scorpina's view of her. Scorpina said, making a face.
"Isn't that cute, they're protecting the green ranger's girlfriend." Scorpina dove at them and Jason told Claire over his shoulder.
"Run!" Claire didn't need to be told twice.
Claire ran away from the battle, only to be stopped by Goldar and some putties. Claire turned and ran toward the parking lot, hoping to get to her car before they caught her. Someone caught her around the waist and she screamed.
"Claire! Claire, it's me! It's Tommy." Claire sagged against her boyfriend and he held her. "What's wrong?"
"Goldar . . . putties . . . Scorpina . . . fighting . . . rangers." Claire panted out.
"I'm gonna go help them." Claire nodded and replied, hugging Tommy.
"Be careful." Tommy kissed her and went to fight with his friends.
Claire waited by her car for the others. When they came, they looked like they had been beaten up, but triumphant all the same. She ran over to her friends and hugged them before she hugged Tommy.
"Are you guys alright?"
"Yes, we sustained minor lacerations, but we should be up and running again soon."
"Yes, we had minor injuries, but we should be back to normal soon." Trini translated.
"Ohh." Claire rolled her eyes and smiled.
"Well, now that they're gone, lets get back to that game of volleyball." Tommy changed into his green trunks and they had their fun in the sun.
Well. Here it is. The seventh chapter. I finally spit it out, even though this story is pre written. Mostly. I have almost twelve chapters. Anyway. Review for me! Thanx!
