Cory and Tommy decided to have their field trip the following week. They decided that they didn't want wait much longer because it was getting cold outside. Another reason why the had the trip so early was because Cory found out that the train ride was put down for the wrong day. So, they decided that they were going to ride in a canoe instead.

Kimberly, Shawn, Minkus, and Lucas' parents were going as chaperones. Maya got a text message from Kermit saying that the Samurai dual would take place on the day of the trip. She was to meet him deep in the woods. That would be close to where the group will be. Both of them packed a backpack with two pairs of jeans, two tee shirts, a sweater, a flannel shirt, hygiene items, emergency blankets, small pillows, water, and some crackers.

On the day of the trip, Riley wore a pair of jeans, a grey shirt with yellow and pink stripes, and a pink and yellow flannel shirt. Maya wore a pair of jeans, a light blue shirt with thin navy stripes, and a blue cotton pullover sweater. Tommy wore jeans, a black tee and a red and white plaid flannel shirt. Kimberly wore jeans, a pink tee, and pink and white plaid flannel shirt. The girls rode with Tommy, Kimberly, and Cory to school. Also Auggie and Ava were going on the trip.

"Kids, I'll be right back," said Kimberly. "I have to go get a box out of the storage room."

Kimberly went to the storage room. Maya knew something was strange.

"We need to follow, I think Kermit is up to something," whispered Maya. "We'll in Kimberly's storage closet."

Riley, Auggie, Ava and Maya slowly followed Kimberly into the gym. They watched her go into the storage room and they quickly went into her office and got in the storage closet. They heard the storage room door slam. Maya wanted to go, but Riley held her back. A few mintutes later, Maya got a text from Kermit saying he had Kimberly and to come to the woods at the end of the forest. He said they would be in the cabin.

"We're skipping the trip!" declared Maya.

"Tommy and dad are going to know," warned Riley.

"Send your dad a text tell him that me, you, and Kimberly are going back home," suggested Maya. "Tell them we ate something in the cafeateria and think we got food poisoning. Say that all three of us are taking the subway home."

"Okay," smiled Riley. "Auggie, I need you and Ava to keep dad and Tommy busy. I know you are going in a canoe ride and you two will be riding in a canoe with Shawn."

"My step dad will do anything," smiled Maya. "Tell him what happened. Ask him to help you out and he will. Shawn knows about this and he said he'd help. Can you three try to get in a canoe behind Uncle Tommy and Mr. Matthews?"

"Sure we can!" gasped Ava. "Can we cause the canoe to tip over?"

"I'd say no usually," admitted Riley. "But, just this once I'm going to tell you to go for it!"

"YAY!" shouted Auggie and Ava.

"Then can we come help you?" asked Auggie.

"Yes," answered Maya. "We're going to sneak out of school and head to the forest. Auggie, I know you are good friends with Uncle Tommy. I know once you two start talking you get side tracked from everything else. I want you to sit with him on the bus."

"I can do that," stated Auggie.

"And what about me?" asked Ava.

"You sit with dad," answered Riley. "You can keep him busy."

"We brought our morphers too," smiled Auggie. "After daddy and Mr. Oliver out of the way, we're coming to you."

"Okay, now go catch the bus," stated Riley. "We're heading to the woods."

Riley and Maya grabbed their back packs and left the school. Auggie and Ava went to catch the bus. They went over to Tommy and Cory.

"Mr. Oliver, can I sit with you on the bus?" asked Auggie.

"Of course," smiled Tommy.

"And I want to sit with Mr. Matthews!" declared Ava.

"I thought you were going to sit with Shawn," stated Cory.

"He's going to sit behind us," said Ava.

"I guess that's okay," responded Cory.

"I got a message from Maya saying that her,Kim, and Riley got food poisoning from the cafeteria and are sick," confirmed Cory.

"They didn't tell me," gasped Tommy. "I probably need to go check on them."

Tommy's cell phone rang. He got a text from Maya.

"The girls are okay, they rode the subway home," Tommy said in relief. "I'll text Katy and tell her."

"Mr. Oliver, can I do it," asked Auggie. "I want to text mommy and tell her."

"Okay, Auggie," replied Tommy.

He gave Auggie his cell phone and he acted like he was texting. But, he was actually playing a game. He lied and told Tommy he texted them. Then Auggie asked Tommy if he could play games on his phone.

"Daddy never lets me play games on his phone," Auggie lied.

"That's because you run the battery down and I can't use it until I get home," remarked Cory. "Tommy, Auggie is going to do the same thing to you!"

"He's fine," smiled Tommy. "I trust him."

Auggie put Tommy's iPhone in his pocket. Cory left his iPhone laying on the sit and Ava reached over and put Cory's phone in her pocket. Ava turned around and looked at Shawn. He winked at her. Tommy and Cory had no idea that Shawn suggested that Auggie and Ava took their cell phones so they couldn't contact Topanga and Katy.

Once everyone got on, the bus driver started driving them to the canoe dock that was next to the woods. Ava started talking to Cory. And Auggie started talking with Tommy.

"Mr. Oliver, how long have you known Kimberly?" asked Auggie.

"Since I was a baby," stated Tommy.

"Were you two friends growing up?" questioned Auggie.

"Yes, we were. She was my best friend as a matter of fact. We had a hard time growing up. My mom baby sat us before we went to school. Kimberly was my pink princess and my favorite thing in the world. I told my mom and dad that I loved her more than I did anyone else," smiled Tommy.

"Didn't it hurt their feelings?" gasped Auggie.

"No, it didn't. They knew it. Kim and I were a lot like you and Ava," reassured Tommy.

"Were Kimberly's parents divorced too?" asked Ava.

"Yes, Ava. They were," replied Tommy. "However, you have it a lot better than Kim did. You still have your mom. Neither one of her parents wanted her, so my parents got custody of her."

"I like cheese," declared Ava. "I like any kind. Does Kim like cheese?"

"Yes," answered Cory.

"Mr. Oliver, what happened to your parents?" asked Ava.

"My parents are gone," Tommy said sadly. "They passed when I was about yours and Auggie's age. We were in foster care for a while. And it wasn't a good experience. We had to live in an attic where it was cold. We only had one bed, but we actually liked that part because we got sleep together. I was all Kim had and she was all I had. I held her every night because I wanted to make sure she was okay."

"Did you practice your wedding like me and Ava do?" asked Auggie.

"Yes, they did!" interrupted Cory.

"Cory, he's fine," promised Tommy.

"Thank you," smiled Auggie. "Do you and Kimberly have a good marriage like my mom and dad do?"

"AUGGIE!" gasped Cory. "Tommy, I am so sorry."

"He's fine," reassured Tommy. "Kim and I never had children and I liked getting to spend time with Tommy. I hoped that Kim and I would have had a boy and a girl. I enjoy spending time with him."

Auggie and Ava talked to Tommy and Cory all the way to the canoe dock. At the canoe dock, all of the kids got in a canoe with the adult they were assigned to. Tommy and Cory took Farkle and Lucas. Partly because they were their two favorite students. And partly to keep Farkle from getting hyper. When they got further down the stream, Auggie noticed that they were at the short cut that Riley told them about.

"It's time for us to stop off at the edge," Ava whispered to Shawn.

"How are we going to go that?" asked Shawn.

"Leave it to me," smirked Auggie.

Auggie started shouted to make sure Farkle heard him.

"SHAWN DID YOU KNOW THAT IN SECOND GRADE WE ARE STUDYING BELGIUM," shouted Auggie.

"TELL FARKLE WHAT YEAR!" demanded Farkle.

"AUGGIE, NO!" yelled Cory.

"1831," lied Auggie.

"Finally!" gasped Farkle. "I'm going to get out to and ask him."

"You can't!" declared Tommy.

Farkle stood up in the canoe and it tipped over. Cory saw there were two rocks near by. Cory grabbed one of the rocks and grabbed Lucas' hand. Tommy had to hold on to the rock with one hand and he had his arm tightly wrapped around Farkle's waist.

"Cory we will go get help!" promised Shawn.

When they got further down the stream, Shawn got out a paddle and used it to get to the edge of the river. Auggie and Ava got out. They walked into the forest and morphed into the green and pink samurai ranger. Meanwhile, Kermit had Kimberly in the abandoned cabin in the forest. She was in the one of the back room. He decided that he wanted Tommy to join her to make Maya come quicker.

Kermit disappeared from the cabin and posed as someone who worked at the boat dock. He got in a canoe and paddled to the area that Tommy, Cory, and Farkle were in.

"I heard you need help," declared Kermit. "I've heard you are Tommy Oliver and Cory Matthews.

Tommy lost his grip on Farkle and he began to float away. Lucas grabbed Farkle and held on to him.

"Since Tommy isn't holding on to anyone, I'll take him first," said Kermit.

He helped Tommy into the canoe. None of them knew it was Kermit. After Tommy was in the boat, he left Cory, Farkle, and Lucas. Kermit took the canoe to the edge of the river and teleported himself and Tommy to the cabin. He told Tommy that there were some dry clothes in one of the back rooms. Tommy followed Kermit to the back room and he opened the door. The room was a storage room and Tommy told him there were dry clothes in a closet. Kermit shut the door and locked it. Kimberly was sitting on the floor and she heard the door close. She got up to see who it was and was stunned to see it was Tommy.

"TOMMY!" cried Kimberly.

She ran over to him and threw her arms around her. Tommy hugged her back and was relieved that he wasn't in cabin alone.

"You're wet!?" gasped Kimberly. "There is a blanket in the corner you can wrap up in."

They took a seat in the corner and Kimberly grabbed the blanket and threw it over Tommy. She put her arm around him.

"What happened to you?" asked Tommy.

"I got a text to go to the storage room and Kermit was in there," explained Kimberly. "Then he teleported me here and put me in here. He went after you to get the girls to come quicker. I wonder if they know?"

"I think they do. Cory told me that you, Maya and Riley got food poisoning from the cafeteria and had to go home ," Tommy revealed. "Auggie was texting someone body on my IPhone. He was also playing games on my phone and he never gave me my phone back. Ava did the same thing with Cory."

"They know," smiled Kimberly. "I know my niece. They probably put Auggie and Ava up to take the phones."

"It wouldn't surprise me," said Tommy. "Auggie and Ava remind me of the two of us, when we were their age. They're always into something. Auggie is always doing things that Ava thinks of."

"Even though that is true about us, you were the one who thought about doing things and I usually went a long with it," corrected Kimberly.

"I think I saw Shawn let Auggie and Ava off at the side of the river and they went into the forest. They walked through the forest and morphed. Ava's the pink ranger," revealed Tommy.

"Riley's the pink ranger," corrected Kimberly.

"Now it's Ava," responded Tommy.

"That must mean that Riley has taken Maya's yellow samurai powers and Maya is know using the blue ninja storm morpher!" Kimberly said in disbelief. "He's going to fight both of them. Maya is only 15 and Riley's only 14. They are too young to dual."

"They'll be fine," reassured Tommy. "I bet Auggie and Ava are on their way to help them. And Lucas and Farkle will go help them."

"I hope you're right," replied Kimberly.
