Chapter 10:
A/N I own nothing apart from characters I invented. Enjoy!
"See!" shouted Ashley. "I'm NOT the white ranger!" Rocky groaned. He was wrong again… "But I don't get it," said Tommy. "When the white ranger first showed up, you were at home, you didn't leave…" Zelphina laughed. "That's actually why I went to visit you. See, I distracted Jack so he didn't notice that she left!" Tommy nodded. That made sense.
"But how could we guess?" asked Adam. "You didn't send us the clue you promised you might send." She looked confused. "But I did send you a clue," she said. "Say it again." Maddy gave a cheeky grin. "My favouritest colours is green and white and pink and red and the best is white cuz it's twice as fun." "See!" said Zelphina.
Everyone sighed. "How did we not figure that out?" asked Rocky. "Cuz you're stupid?" suggested Adam. Everyone laughed. Tommy, Adam, Jason, Rocky, Billy and Ashley all looked delighted, but Kim noticed that Kat and Tanya didn't look as happy as the others.
When they were in the Youth Centre Kimberly went over with Ashley to get some food. "Do you know why Kat and Tanya didn't look too happy when they found out I was the you know what?" she asked her. Ashley giggled. "I think Katherine has a bit of a crush on Tommy," she answered. "So?" asked Kim. "So she thinks you're a threat. And Tanya is her best friend, so…"
"But me and Tommy aren't together any more," said Kim. "Yeah but she might think you still like each other," said Ashley. Kimberly nodded. "Oh my God," said Ashley. "You do still like Tommy!" Kimberly looked at her. "No I don't," she said quickly. "No, you do!" said Ashley. "Just take the stuff over to where Jason is sitting," Ashley said to Ernie. "Sure thing," he said. Ashley grabbed her cousin by the arm and dragged her out.
"Where'd they go?" asked Jason. "I dunno," said Adam. "Ashley's crazy." "You can say that again," Jason replied. Ernie brought over the food. "I have ice cream now?" Maddy asked Tommy. "Yeah here," he said. "Mmmm," said Maddy, "Yummy!" Everyone laughed.
Outside Ashley finally stopped dragging Kimberly. "What the hell are you doing?" asked Kim. "We need to talk about this! This is really big!" Kimberly sighed. She hated it when Ashley did stuff like this. "So," said Ashley. "You have to tell Tommy that you still like him!" "No!" said Kimberly. "I can't do that." Ashley looked confused. "Why not?" "It would just be too weird."
Kim sat down on a bench. "Why?" "Well, Tommy doesn't necessarily still have feelings for me. I mean, he was the one who ended it." "What?" Ashley was just getting more and more confused.
Later on, Ashley met Jason in the Command Centre. When Zordon and Alpha weren't listening, she told him what she found out. "Kim got a letter too." Jason didn't know what she was on about. "What?" "Tommy got a letter from Kimberly saying she wanted to end it, but Kim got one from Tommy saying he wanted to end it. She even showed it to me."
Jason turned to look at her. "I've already told Adam," said Ashley. "We need to work something out," said Jason. "Who wrote the letters though?" Ashley shrugged. "We have to figure that out." "What are you two talking about?" They both jumped. They turned to find it was Zelphina.
"You scared us!" said Jason. "Clearly," said Zelphina. "I couldn't help overhearing. This is terrible. But do not worry. I do come up with some of the best schemes. Just leave it to me!" They both nodded. Zelphina left and they continued to talk.
When Tommy came in, he saw them talking. He went over and stood behind them. "I knew it," he said. They both turned around and jumped when they heard him. "Knew what?" asked Jason, nervously. "That you two like each other!" They both sighed with relief that he hadn't heard what they were talking about, but then the realisation of what he said sunk in. "What?" He laughed. "I was just kidding. But then again…" He saw the look on their faces and laughed again.
They were mortal enemies, or so they said. It would be a huge scandal if they actually went out with each other. "What are you doing here so early, Jason?" he asked. "Alpha asked me to help with some mechanic stuff." Tommy nodded. Jason liked to help his uncle out in Lee Scott Garages and so he knew a thing or two about fixing cars and machines and such.
"I have a girlfriend Tommy," said Jason. "Talking like that could get me into trouble." Tommy laughed. "I forgot about Emily." After he left Ashley went back to speak to Jason again. "I think we should just do what Zelphina says and just leave it to her to sort out, agreed?" "Agreed."
