School started off to a nice start. Kimberly formed a good relationship with Kat and Tanya. Tommy still had a good relationship with Rocky and Adam, and he was forming a good relationship with Willie. Skull still wasn't convinced that Kimberly was really married to Tommy. He saw that they shared the same school locker, sat together in Ms. Appleby's class, Tommy was Kimberly's partner in the water aerobics'/ water jogging class, and Mr. Kaplan allowed them to rent a locker room for the swimming classes because they were married. Bulk and Skull even saw Tommy and Kimberly sitting at table with the other rangers every day at lunch. Everyday, Tommy and Kimberly were sitting next to each other at lunch.

"Tommy, what's it like being married to Kimberly, instead of having her as a girl friend?" asked Adam.

"I love her and she loves me and we live in the same house," answered Tommy. "Being married isn't as easy as it looks. We have to make decisions together, we have to put the other one first, and we even have arguments at times."

"What's it like being with her all the time?" asked Rocky. "Both of you are in the same classes all day, you ride to school together, and then you are home with her."

"We enjoy being in the same classes all day," smiled Kimberly. "Tommy actually loves our water aerobics/water jogging class. In the class we do our aerobics routine with music the whole period. He enjoys getting to slow dance with me in the water."

Tommy's face turned red from embarrassment. Everyone else at the table began to laugh because Tommy told all his friends that he hated the water aerobics/ water jogging class because they had a dance routine in the water. He secretly loved it due to the fact he got dance with Kimberly and it was like going to a school dance with her every day.

Meanwhile, Bulk and Skull were sitting at another table. They were plotting and planning about what type of prank they want to pull on Kimberly. Skull got a big grin on his face. Bulk knew Skull had something planned.

"What are you thinking of?" asked Bulk.

"I know what we can do to Kimberly," smirked Skull. "And we can easily do it because we are behind her and Tommy in that class."

"What do you have in mind?" questioned Bulk.

"Have you noticed that she's been wearing a bikini that ties?" asked Skull.

"I've noticed," answered Bulk. "What do you want to do?"

"While everyone is doing their water aerobics, we will sneak up behind Kimberly," planned Skull. "You'll pull the string on the top half of her bikini and I'll pull the bottom half. And then we'll get everyone's attention. We'll blame it on Tommy."

"I love the plan!" laughed Bulk. "We'll get Tommy in trouble and Kimberly will break up with him because she'll be really embarrassed and think he was the one who did it. Then we'll say you tried to stop Tommy."

"And we'll write her a letter calming it is Tommy and in the letter he'll say he was the ones who pulled the strings," added Skull. "And we'll take it to their locker room and slip it underneath the door."

"It's prefect," smirked Bulk.

The lunch period ended a few minutes later. Bulk and Skull had no idea that Tommy had over heard them when he went to go get a smoothie. He was aware of what they were going to do. All of the students went to go change into their swim wear. Kimberly opened her locker and got out her bikini top and bottoms that tied.

"Beautiful, I realized that you never wore that nice looking pink swim skirt," pointed out Tommy.

"I was wearing this bikini before lunch," reminded Kimberly.

"Why don't you wear something different," suggested Tommy. "Do you have a top that doesn't tie."

"No," answered Kimberly.

"I'd really like it if you wore a one piece suit," pleaded Tommy. "I keep a few extra pairs of swimming trunks and a few extra one piece suits in my locker. I brought them in case one of us forgot to bring a swimsuit to class."

"I wore one every day last week," answered Kimberly. "Remember I took all five of them home Friday, so I could get them washed."

"You could have brought them back," declared Tommy. "We had all weekend to wash them."

"I decided that I'd rotate my suits that I wear every week," stated Kimberly. "This week I'm wearing my bikinis."

"Please wear the nice looking swim skirt," begged Tommy. "You've never wore it before."

"I don't have the swim skirts, hipster bottoms, or swim shorts," answered Kimberly. "I took them back to the mall because they were tight. I exchanged them for one piece suits."

" Do all of them have strings?" asked Tommy.

"Yes they do," responded Kimberly. "I've wore my pale pink bikini on Monday, my pink floral bikini Tuesday, my pink plaid bikini Wednesday, my pink polka dotted bikini yesterday, and today I wearing my pink tie dyed bikini."

Kimberly put her bandeau bikini top and bikini bottoms back on. Tommy changed back into his red board shorts and followed her back into the room with pool. Bulk and Skull were standing outside the locker room. He wrote a letter claiming it was from Tommy. But he wanted to make sure it would write. At the bottom of the page, he wrote "My plan to break Tommy and Kimberly up." He was too busy laughing about the break up letter and he didn't pay attention that he signed his name at end of the letter, instead of Tommy's name. Bulk and Skull slipped the letter into Tommy and Kimberly's locker room, then they went to class. They saw Tommy and Kimberly were already sitting on the bench.

"I don't think she knows what we're going to do," whispered Bulk. "She's wearing another bikini top that ties and bikini bottoms that tie."

"I noticed that, she rotates her suits out every week. That's how I knew she was going to wear the bikini's that tie," remarked Skull. "You get the top half and I'll get the bottom half. Then we'll get everyone's attention. We'll blame it on Tommy."

"He's going to be in so much trouble!" laughed Bulk.

Ms. Prescott walked into the room and she stared talking about the exercising routine that they were going to have.

"We're going to have a different work out routine today," explained Ms. Prescott. "Our routine today will be Walking Straight, Side Walks, Cross Country Skiing, Skips, Two-Foot Ankle Hops, Sprinting, Body Squat, Squat Jumps, Tuck jumps, Spilt Squat Jumps, Cycled Spilt Squat Jumps, and Front Kicks. I know this is a new routine, but I'll be up front showing you how to do the moves. I'll call out the moves, when I do a different move."

All of the students got into the water and Ms. Prescott turned the music and they started doing the dance routines. Bulk and Skull were behind Tommy and Kimberly.

"When we start the walking straight routine, I'm going to pull the right string on the bottom half," plotted Skull. "Tommy's on her left side."

"Then what?" asked Bulk.

"When we do the walking forward routine, you pull the string on string on her bandeau and I'll pull the strings on her bikini bottoms," plotted Skull. " Then we'll get everyone's attention."

"It's a great plan!" laughed Bulk.

"Everybody we're going to start!" shouted Ms. Prescott. "Please get into the water."

All of the students got into the pool and they stood in their assigned spots. Bulk and Skull were behind Tommy and Kimberly. Ms. Prescott turned the music on and they started their routines. About fifteen minutes before class ended, Ms. Prescott announced they were doing the walking forward routine. Bulk and Skull got behind Kimberly and grabbed her.

"What are you doing?!" cried Kimberly.

Tommy heard her holler and started to head back towards her, before Bulk and Skull could do anything to embarrass her. He got back to Kimberly as soon as they pulled the strings on her bikini and they were falling off her body. Tommy noticed they were standing next to the edge of the pool, so he pushed her against the edge of the pull and he threw his arms around her neck. As soon as Tommy threw his arms around her, her bikini was floating in the pool and she let out a scream.

"Look at Kimberly!" hollered Skull in a laughing voice.

Class stopped and everyone looked towards her. They weren't able to see anything because Tommy her covered with his body and she was standing against the edge of the pool.

"What happened?!" yelled Ms. Prescott.

"Tommy pulled the strings on Kimberly's bikini!" shouted Skull.

"It was you!" corrected Tommy. "I saw you do it."

"Ms. Prescott, it was Tommy," lied Bulk.

"I saw you two grab Kimberly," declared Ms. Prescott. "Tommy went back to help her from being embarrassed. I saw him push her against the edge of the pool and I saw him put his arms around her. What was the meaning of this prank?"

"I'm tired of being lied to," explained Skull. "Kimberly and Tommy say they are married now and I can't date her!"

"For the one hundredth time, she is married to me!" yelled Tommy. "We have wedding bands on our fingers!"

"I know on the class roster it has her listed as Kimberly Hart," informed Skull.

"Ask Ms. Prescott to show you the roster," suggested Tommy.

Ms. Prescott showed Skull the class roster. He read down the list of students and stopped when he saw Kimberly Oliver; Skull noticed that Tommy Oliver was listed below Kimberly's name.

"I guess you aren't lying," Skull said angrily.

"Bulk and Skull, both of you are in a lot of trouble!" yelled Ms. Prescott. "Go get dressed and wait outside Mr. Kaplan's office."

Bulk and Skull got out of the pool and went back to the boys locker room to change.

"Class, I have a new rule," informed Ms. Prescott. "I don't want another incident like this to happen again. Girls', starting Monday, you won't be allowed to wear bikinis that tie or any other type of bikinis. You will be required wear a one piece suit. And I don't want them to be strapless. The other swimming teachers and I have been debating about making that a requirement for all swimming classes. All of you please go back into the locker room and change, class is almost over."

The remainder of the class went to their locker rooms to get dressed. As soon as everyone was out of the room with the pool, Ms. Prescott got a towel for Kimberly to wrap around herself. She laid the towel by pool and stepped out of the room so Kimberly could have some privacy. Tommy helped Kimberly out of the pool and he helped her wrap the towel around her. He could tell she was really embarrassed and upset. Ms. Prescott walked back into the room, after she saw Kimberly had a towel around her.

"I am really sorry about what happened," apologized Ms. Prescott. "I'm going to put them in day time detention for the rest of the semester."

"They've been giving us a hard time ever since we game back here," explained Tommy. "I heard them talking about doing this to Kim during lunch. I did everything I could to prevent this."

"That's why you wanted me to wear the one piece suit," sobbed Kimberly.

"Yes," confessed Tommy. "I was hoping that you'd wear it. But, since you didn't I decided to watch you really close. I thought I could prevent this from happening."

He wrapped his arm around her and gave her a kiss.

"How long have you been married?" asked Ms. Prescott.

"It will be a year in November," answered Tommy. "Her mom got engaged to a French painter and he lived in Paris. Kim and her mom were going to move there. I dated her for two and a half years and I didn't want to loose her. I proposed to her and we got married before she moved to Paris. But, I went with her. We came back here over the summer."

"You must love her a lot," smiled Ms. Prescott.

"I love her very much and she is very precious to me. She is also my whole life. Before I moved to Angel Grove, I went to a different school every year. I had to start over every year. Kimberly was the first real friend I ever had," explained Tommy. "When I came to Angel Grove, she was the first person who reached out to me."

"Kimberly, you are so lucky to have him," complemented Ms. Prescott.

"I couldn't ask for anyone better than Tommy," answered Kimberly.

"You can go to the locker room and change," said Ms. Prescott. "Do you need to borrow a bathing suit?"

"I keep extras in my locker, incase we need one," stated Tommy.

"You have permission to sit and have some time to yourselves," added Ms. Prescott. "I won't take points off if you're late to our next class. Or you can even leave school early."

They went to the locker room for Kimberly to get another swimsuit on. Both of them went into the locker room and found an envelope. Tommy picked up the envelope, opened it, and read the letter in side.

Kimberly,

I hope you will not be embarrassed over what I'm going to do in our water aerobics/water jogging class. I, Tommy Oliver, plan to pull the strings on your bikini. I know that you will hate me after this, so we'll break up after you're embarrassed in class. I heard Skull liked you. Start going out with him.

Love Skull

My plan to break Tommy and Kimberly up

"I can't believe he was trying to break us up!" Tommy said angrily. "He was stupid enough to sign his name to the letter and write at the bottom that he was trying to break us up. And I can't believe that he went as far to pull the strings on your bikini."

"Tommy, I am sure everyone saw what I look like in my birthday suit," Kimberly said tearfully.

"No, one saw you," reassured Tommy. "I got you against the edge of the pool and I was holding you, when you're bikini feel off your body. Remember, that I had my back facing everyone else so no one would see your bare chest."

"Tommy, I was still in my birthday suit and everyone knew I was," sobbed Kimberly. "That's why Ms. Prescott made everyone go to the locker rooms. She gave me a towel; she stepped out of the room so I could wrap the towel around me. You were the only one who was in the room when I got out of the pool. You helped me wrap the towel around me."

"Beautiful, I, your husband, is the only person who is allowed to see you like that," Tommy said in a comforting voice. "And you're the only one who is allowed see me in mine. I still think you are the most beautiful girl that I've ever seen, even when you are in your birthday suit."

"But, it was in class," reminded Kimberly.

"And no one saw you, expect for me," reassured Tommy.

He realized it wasn't the right thing to say because she started crying even more. Tommy sat down and the floor and held her in his lap as she cried. He still mad at Skull for pulling that prank on her and for embarrassing her like that in the middle of class.

"Beautiful, everything is okay," whispered Tommy. "I'm right here."

Tommy started to rub her back and he gave her several kisses.

"Why don't we leave school early?" suggested Tommy. "We can go sit at our spot by the lake where we first kissed."

"I'd like that," answered Kimberly.

Tommy opened his locker and striped out of his wet board shorts. He quickly put his khakis, red Henley, and red flannel shirt. Then he grabbed his book bag and packed his put his books and materials inside. He folded up all the pairs of swimming trunks that he wore that week to take home to get washed. Tommy opened Kimberly's locker and packed all of her books and materials in her book bag. He put all her suits in his book bag to take them home. Tommy handed Kimberly her pink tee shirt and her maroon sweat suit. She quickly got dressed and they left school. Tommy drove them to their favorite spot.

He held Kimberly in his lap. It had been awhile since they had been at the spot by the lake, since they were in Paris. He noticed that she was feeling much better and it really pleased him.

"Have any plans for our one year anniversary?" asked Tommy.

"No," answered Kimberly. "Last week when it was your birthday we went to the movies, went shopping, and went out for dinner."

"We could go shopping, go out to a formal restaurant, and go to a movie," suggested Tommy. "We could also decide what classes we're going to take next semester. The paleontology classes are all filled up. I heard recently that we could register for the spring semester early. The only paleontology class that is available is Intro to Paleontology . We still have English 4, so we get to pick the other seven classes."

"I'd love that," smiled Kimberly. "The classes that we took this Semester was AP classes. They'll count towards some college credits. I was thinking about us taking advanced swimming (which is a three hour class), track and field, Intro to Paleontology (which is two hours), and study hall."

"I'd enjoy taking those," replied Tommy. "They'll count towards our degree in PE. I'm still going to study Physical Education and paleontology."

There weren't very many monster attacks, so they didn't have to deal with the machine empire much. However, they weren't aware that ooze men were in Angel Grove.
