Chapter 7
Strucked by Lightning
"Wow, Kim, this must be a lot for that poor guy to go through."
"I know makes what we went through as teenagers seem like a breeze."
"Well I wouldn't put it like that, but, it differently ties."
"I'm kind of worried about him."
"I think when Tommy tells us the story Hayley told you we all are going to be worried about him. I mean this could be emotionally taxing on him thus causing him to have another mental exausaution spell. But the one thing I can't get over about this is the fact that Tommy didn't even bother to call you. Especially after he made a promise."
"Trini, I can't blame him. I haven't said a word to him since the day Divatox had turned me and Jason evil."
"Still he knew your life could be in danger. When I see him he's going to wish he could still you know what."
"From the way things are going he'll morph again sooner or later." Kim semi-joked causing a laugh between her and the original yellow ranger.
"Well I better hang up on you the stewardess is wanting me back in my seat. Looks like my flight's arriving ahead of schedule by ten minutes."
"Remember Tommy isn't supposed to know."
"Don't worry I won't tell him. But I will make him wish he called." Trini said the last statement in such a way that sent chills downKim's spine. The first girl to dawn pink knew it spelled trouble for Tommy.
"I feel a little sorry for him, but he deserves it." Kim thought as she closed her cell and went into the front room.
"Have a nice chat did we?" asked a particular woman that wore black jean pants, a white t-shirt and a yellow button up tied around her waist.
"When did you get out of the shower?"
"About five after eight and since it's almost eight twenty we've been ready to go for a good ten minutes."
"Sorry but Trini called and I told her everything. So I'm ready to go."
"Kim, forgetting something?" Michael asked rubbing his cheek.
"Oh yeah forgot about this. Hayley?" Now Hayley glared at Michael
"You had to remind her?" She said getting up from her spot on the couch.
"Well it was either that or we get your car, head out on the road just to turn around so Kim can run back up here to do it after seeing her reflection. Which do you prefer?"
"Point taken." Now Kim decided to pout.
"Jeez, I just don't want Jase go to Florida and beat the heck out of Nick."
"Or Dr. O." said the Ptera ranger in a singsong voice
"Shut up, Kira." Kim said retreating with Hayley to finish her make up.
----
"Jason, please don't say anything to the guys about you know what."
"Tommy, I didn't say anything for a whole year. What makes you think I will now?"
"So you can here Zack crack jokes about me stealing his color or have Kat and Adam say we transferred powers to leave the ranger life behind." The three younger rangers whom were standing behind them snickered after hearing that tidbit of information. If Conner decided to "accidentally" spill the beans, it would be worth it.
"JASON, TOMMY! OVER HERE." Yelled a very beautiful woman. The two turned around to see an Asian woman with shoulder length silky black hair, wearing a yellow head band, a yellow blouse, and white dress skirt.
"Trini!" said the two former red rangers in awe while she hugged them.
"Dude, if Trini is this hot I can't wait to see the other girls Dr. O hungout with before Hayley." Conner was soon meet with by an all to recognizable glare by not only one ex red but two. Lucky for him the former yellow slapped them on the arm.
"Guys, knock it off. I took it as a complement. But speaking of the other girls when do they arrive?"
"Well first let me introduce you to these guys and I'm sure you can guess the color affiliation. The one that made that very lucrative remark is Conner McKnight."
"Pleasure to meet you Conner."
"This guy over here on his right is the Reefside version of Billy, Ethan James."
"Hello, Ethan."
"And in a way you guys can say he is this team's version of me, Trent Mercer."
"You mean he's forgetful?" Once again the great Tommy Oliver heard his former students snicker thanks to her coment.
"Actually I'm was forced to face them before joining them." Answered Trent through a suppressed laugh.
"I thought there was five on this team. Where are the other two, Tommy?"
"Well our yellow is helping Hayley and Michael setup the Cyberspace for us and black couldn't make it."
"Then why is he answering my questions." Trini thought. "OK, now that's over when are the girls coming?"
"Well, Aisha's plane is supposed to be at ten, Kat's is scheduled to land at eleven."
"Dr. O, don't forget Adam said he 'invited' his wife to come with him. Something about wanting to meet the girl that Aisha substituted for."
"Thanks for reminding me, Tanya will be here in about ten minutes."
"Allright," "Time to see if your dancing improved, Dr. Oliver." "what about Kim? I've been wanting to see her after so long." "That's right, Trini, lay it on thick and make him squirm." "I hope she still has that friendship necklace I gave her before I left for Switzerland." Trini said/thought all this with an ever so innocent smile complete with puppy doggy eyes.
"Umm, Trini, I don't know how to say this, but..."
"Showtime!" Trini thought as the men before her watched her smile fade and eyes began to fill with unadulterated pure rage.
"But! The only 'but' you should have is the one that is attached to your body!" the former yellow ranger said with venom dripping from every word. And Tommy looked like a deer in the headlights while the other male rangers thought the same thing.
"Tommy is up shit creek without a paddle."
"Well you see I was going to call her personally but all of a sudden I got distracted by Michael's..."
"Thomas Oliver," Trini said in an unusual calm voice, "are you telling me you forgot to call her?" The infamous ranger just gulped and slowly nodded his head.
Chills were running down his spine. Last night he knew he could handle Hayley. Usually when she was upset with him he would crack a few jokes and she'll calm down. She would still be mad for a few hours, but, after that it would blow over. The problem is Trini isn't Hayley. Ofcourse there was times he thought she was a yellow ranger in disguise, but, still Hayley couldn't hold a candle to Trini. The single most unsettling thing to him was the eerie calm in the woman he use to lead's voice.
He didn't flinch as she walked to him staring him in the eye. And with no warning what so ever Trini grabbed him and started squeezing. Tommy's eyes were bulging out as he howled in pain. The other former ranger's were covering with their faces cringed at the sight before them. Actually every man in the airport watching were doing this.
"Trini, I might need those later." Tommy said in a slightly higher pitched voice.
"You can always consider adopting." All of the men shuddered as she said this and they cringed once more when they heard him screamed from the pressure she applied.
"What seems to be the problem here?" asked a female security guard as she walked into the view of the cause of the comtion.
"Nothing, ma'am," said Ethan "she's just administering a form of mind control."

Hayley was driving towards her place of business in her white four door mode of transportation smiling as Michael was singing a song parody from his home that a woman he knew as Jadelyn Ja Lee wrote for Tommy.
Bless my soul
Tom was on a roll
Person of the week in every Ranger opinion poll
What a pro
Tom could stop a show
Point him at a monster and you're taking SRO
He was a no one
A zero, zero
Now he's a honcho
He's a hero
Here was a kid with his act down pat
From zero to hero in no time flat
Zero to hero just like that
When he smiled
Kimberly went wild with
Oohs and aahs
Kim was now in tears from laughing, forever glad she decide to bring tissues just in case she started crying. It was the only way to keep her make up from running.
And they slapped his face
On ev'ry vase
(on ev'ry "vase")
From appearance fees and royalties
Our Tom had cash to burn
Now nouveau rich and famous
He could tell you
What's a Ranger earn?
Now Kira was leaning on the front seat with her arms draped on Kim, head touching each other laughing. Hayley quickly pulled over because she couldn't handle it anymore. It was pull over and crack up or have an accident.
Say amen
There he goes again
Sweet and undefeated
An awesome 10 for 10
Folks lined up
Just to watch him flex
And this perfect package
packed a pair of pretty pecs
Kira just imagined how all of the girls in school heck even principal Randal drool over him if he did that. "Note to self: Kira, thank God I'm not part of the Dr. O fan club."
Tommy, he comes
He sees he conquers
Honey the crowds were
Going bonkers
He showed the moxie, brains, and spunk
From zero to hero a major hunk
Zero to hero and who'da thunk
"Me." Kimberly squeaked out between bouts of laughter.
Who put the glad in gladiator?
Tommy!
Whose daring deeds are great theater?
Tommy!
Is he bold?
No one braver
Is he sweet
Our fav'rite flavor
"Yeah I always did love how he tasted." stated the longest running pink ranger. Kira's face distorted slightly from the mental image Kim gave before returning to laughing.
Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy, Tommy
Bless my soul
Tom was on a roll
Undefeated
Riding high
And the nicest guy
not conceited
"How true, how true." Hayley stated trying not to slide down below the wheel.
He was a nothin
A zero, zero
Now he's a honcho
He's a hero
He hit the heights at breakneck speed
From zero to hero
Tom is a hero
Now he's a hero
Yes indeed!
Michael just smiled as he watched the devastation he caused. Three grown women laughing, reduced to tears all because of a song parody he read. The girls started to calm down as Kim's cell phone went off.
"Hello?" Kim said before laughing once more.
"Kim?" said a high pitched male voice
"Yes this her."
"It's me, Tommy."
"Tommy, what happened to your voice?" Kim asked as she waved to everyone to hush down.
"You might want to talk to Trini about that. AAAA! Trini, will you stop it?"
"Tommy are you ok?"
"Define OK. Gwah! Kim, I was meaning to call you last night but I..."
"Forgot." She said in an annoyed tone.
"Yeah, you see there's something wrong and your life might be in danger so I gathered up the original team and got them in Reefside. You know strength in numbers."
"So basically I'm the last one you called. You know Tommy that is the most insensitive thing you've done. I have a half a mind not even come." stated Kim in anger which scared the other women in the car
"Kim, I was just saving the best for last." stated the former white leader in a sweet tone.
"You were saving the best for last. If I was the best you wouldn't have forgot! I swear I don't know what I saw in you. Next time if some life threating situation happens have the best come first so you won't forget!." the best looking pink ranger of them all snapped as she scanned the faces of the three listening. She was hoping to scare all of them. To bad Michael had a smug grin on his face. That's when she mouthed the words, 'Damn empath', which caused Michael to laugh.
"Who is that?"
"For your information, Tommy, that is my new boyfriend. He's sweeter, kinder, and more of a gentleman then you'll ever be. Heck he's even better in bed then you in all three ways mind you. Size, girth, and motion. He keeps me very satisfied. Where with you I faked it." Kim and the girls where doing what they could to keep from laughing from the combination of her statement to the look of horror plastered on Michael's face.
"Kim, you do realize the moment he finds out your in Reefside he'll kill me for that little comment."
"I'm having fun here. Stop being such a baby. Besides I'll tell him it was a joke."
"Well I hope he finds it funny, because, I don't."
"Listen, Tommy, can you put Trini on the phone?"
"OK." he answered half-stunned.
"Kimberly, did I hear you right on what you said to Tommy?"
"Yeah."
"And I thought I was being evil."
"Speaking of being evil, why is Tommy's voice so highpitched?"
"Oh I decide that we should play handball if you catch my drift."
"Trini, let him go? He's suffered enough." In the background she heard Tommy drop to his knees and started to repeatedly saying thank you while being drug away.
"Tell him that my new boyfriend (wink to Michael) and his friend convinced me that I should go and so my old friends. Also say that my stud knows I won't do anything with my ex-boyfriend, why would I downgrade?"
"Oh dear lord." Michael groaned out of embarrasement.
"Did, Tommy, interrupt something?" Trini said giving Kim another opening.
"Yes. Bye, Trini."
"Bye, Kim."
"Kimberly, your despicable." Michael said glaring at her much to ex-pink and the girls enjoyment.

A/N: I like to thank Jadelyn Ja Lee for allowing me to use her song parody in this story. I know it was out of the oridnary, but, like I did want to use it just for fun. She was a real sport. I want to say that this is probaly my favorite chapter that I have writen thus far. Go ahead and give me a few reviews.
