Stages of intervention
Disclaimer: I do not own PR, otherwise there would be a lot more romance and actual couples mixed in with the fights, Lycra and zords.
Summary: Kim organizes a get-together for all the 'originals'. Havoc ensures with all the meddling they're each doing...
Author's note: I know its been ages and I'm sorry but it couldn't be helped. Coursework is the bain of my life at the moment. But hey it's holidays on Monday so hopefully I'll be able to put lots up! I also realized I haven't put much of Aisha, Zack and Trini into this so I'm trying to rectify that but you'll probably have to bear with me! As always I hope you like and please review.
Let's play
"Charades?" Rocky asked, pulling a face "Why did we have to play charades? It's so boring."
"Only because you choose such random actions to get your word across that nobody understands you. Then everybody gets annoyed because you insist on finishing your go." Adam said, grinning at his friend "You just cause more trouble than your wirth Rocko."
"Aww, but that's his whole purpose in life." Kim teased.
"You got that right," Aisha agreed, high-fiving her friend as they both grinned at Rocky "Besides we've already decided so it's final."
"What?!" Rocky cried "Just because you and someone else decided we have to play? And who is the other person I get to blame by the way?"
"That would be me." Kat said as she and Tommy walked over to join the others in their seated circle "Got a problem with that?"
"No," Rocky said grinning wildly at Kat and Tommy's entwined hands "No problem at all."
"Then let's play!" Zack said, pulling Rocky down onto the ground next to him "Enough whining already."
"I wasn't whining." Rocky whined.
"You are now." Tanya grinned, poking the red clad man.
"Okay, stop! Is this official pick on Rocky day?"
"No, it's official pick on Rocky week." Aisha said, pretending to smile sweetly.
Rocky groaned whilst everybody else laughed.
"So who's going to go first?" Trini asked, pulling her leags underneath her so she was seated cross-legged.
"Shouldn't we wait for Jason?" Kim asked, propping herself up so she could scan their campsite "Where is he?"
"He just went to check the car again." Tommy answered, trying to read Kimberley's eyes.
"But I made you do that earlier," Kim said, a slight wickedness to her voice suggesting that 'made' was the significant word in her statement "You didn't miss anything so what's he doing?"
"He's trying to get some peace and quiet from you," said person replied, walking over to join the group and sit next to Adam "C'mon pinky, you know we're all going to have to have our own little moments if we wanna spend an entire five days in your company without going insane."
Zack and Rocky laughed, whilst Kim aimed a swipe at Jason's head, almost tumbling into Adam in the process.
"Next time you're not invited, so there." Kim retorted, sticking out her tongue.
"Aww but it wouldn't be any fun without Jase." Kat said, squeezing Tommy's hand gently "Would it?"
"None at all." Tommy replied, grinning down at the blonde, enjoying the feeling of her hand still in his.
"We could make it more fun if he did come though." Aisha said wickedly.
"Yeah," Tanya said, cottoning on to Aisha's thinking "like not give him a tent?"
"How about we forget about next time and just don't let him have a tent this time?" Trini asked.
"Yeah, I'm sure Tommy wouldn't mind sharing a tent with somebody else here." Rocky said slyly.
Kim and Tanya both hit him over the head as Tommy took a deep breath and Kat went slightly red, quickly withdrawing her hand from his.
"As discussed before we've already arranged sleeping arrangements," Zack said, trying to grin at his friends "What we haven't arranged is who's going first in this game we're suppose to be playing."
"What game is it?" Jason asked, sending his best friend a sorry look.
"Charades," Aisha said "And don't even start."
"Start what?" Jason asked innocently whilst Rocky snickered.
Tanya hit Rocky over the head "Stop it you childish idiot. Some of us would like to have a nice time here."
"But I am having a nice time." Rocky said playfully.
"You sound like a five year old." Aisha accused.
"To be fair though, that is his mental age." Adam said, smirking at his friend.
"Aisha does have a point actually," Trini said "We do all seem to be acting more immaturely than we usually would. Apart from Rocky that is."
"I knew it. This is what it's going to be like all week isn't it?" Said male asked.
"Get use to it bro." Jason said, clapping him on the back, and not too gently either.
"It's because we're all together," Kim announced "We're just acting how we would of back then. I think it's great; it shows we can be totally ourselves around each other."
"We knew that already." Zack said.
"Yeah, but it's still nice that we can still do it. That we haven't lost it from being away from each other." Kat pointed out.
Zack grinned at her and conceded "Fair point."
"So who's going first?" Aisha asked, stretching out in her lying position next to Kim.
"Not Rocky." Adam said "Unless you want to spend the entire time we're here playing this game."
"Don't be silly Adam, "Tanya replied "We'd kill him before then."
"Or at least Kim would." Tommy pointed out.
"Enough bantering! Let's play already." Aisha said.
"We seem to be having problems on deciding who goes first," Trini replied smiling slightly at her friends looks of 'duh' as they rolled there eyes at her.
"I forgot how good your observational skills were Trin." Jason said.
"What d'you think got her through the peace conference?" Zack said "She observed a lot of the guys there."
Everybody laughed at that whilst Trini blushed slightly and Kim squealed.
"You never told me anything about any guys there!" the pink clad woman scolded.
"It wasn't really relevant." Trini mumbled.
"Relevant! Ha! I can't believe you held out on me." Kim huffed "You're almost as bad as Kat."
"Don't involve me in this." Kat said hastily.
"Why what she do?" Aisha said interested.
"Yeah, spill the dirt Kim." Rocky said "I always knew our kitty wasn't as clean as she made out to be."
"Did you just call me kitty?!"
"There isn't any dirt," Kim said depressingly "It appears neither of you wanted to tell me about any significant men in your lives. As your friend I am deeply hurt."
"Well I know that a certain someone was still hooked on a certain guy so wasn't interested in any other guys." Tanya said quietly in Kat's ear, which promptly made the Australian stop reaching for Rocky's throat and turn to stare in disbelief at her best friend.
"What did you just say?" she said softly.
"You heard," Tanya replied, grinning widely "And you know its true."
"What's true?" Rocky asked "I didn't hear that."
"You're not going to," Kat replied sharply "We've already talked about this. Will you please stop bringing it up!"
The others in the group all stopped talking at Kat's uncharacteristic outburst, with the boys looking quite shocked and the girls looking nervous; Tommy looked more worried than shocked whilst Kim looked suspicious. The brunette gently reached over and pulled her ex back when he leant forward to talk to the blonde, shaking her head slightly at his quizzical look.
"So Adam goes first huh?" Rocky announced, clapping his hands and looking expectantly over at his best friend.
"Err, no?"
"Oh come on Adam!" Aisha cajoled "You wanna play don't you?"
""Yes but it doesn't mean I want to go first-"
"Then it's settled." Trini announced, smiling pleasantly at the Asian "Off you go." And she and Aisha pushed Adam to his feet in front of everyone, grinning up at him expectantly when he turned around to stammer a complaint.
"I wouldn't waste your breath man." Jason advised.
"Yep," Zack added "You are their chosen first victim. I'd just get it over with as soon as possible."
Adam sighed and his shoulders slumped, a sure sign that the girls had won and gotten their own way. The first two yellow rangers noticed this and sat up grinning widely, their attention completely focused on the green clad man in front of them who was winding his left arm with his right underneath it.
"It's a movie!" Rocky shouted, as if he'd won some sort of prise and went to get up and stand where Adam was. Jason however grabbed the back of his t-shirt and pulled him down again.
"Rocky that's not how you play and you know it," Tanya sat exasperatedly, pointedly leaning forward to ignore her best friend beside her "Will you play properly please?"
"I guessed the action," Rocky defended, swiping Jason off of him "Isn't that playing properly?" he added cheekily, makig the girl roll her eyes.
Tommy shook his head and also sat forward, his attention on Adam who was waiting patiently "I think Adam was in the middle of something," he said gently, trying not to cause any more outbursts.
"Ok," Rocky sighed dramatically, and turned to face the front again "You may continue frog man."
"I told you to stop calling me that years ago."
"I believe the action person is not allowed to talk in a game of charades."
"Quick Adam make Rocky guess it." Aisha quipped.
Everybody laughed at that, the good mood the group had previously had returning to them.
Kat smiled weakly, but found she couldn't laugh. She was still too worked up, and watching Tommy relax with the others was bringing back feelings she was trying to control. Trying to ignore you mean, a little voice in the back of her head said. Shaking her head to clear her thoughts Kat realised she needed to think, to sort out her feelings. And she wasn't going to be able to do that with the others around, especially Tommy.
Tanya made no sign of attention as Kat got up and the blonde felt a flash of anger as she saw the determined look on her best friend's face. Why didn't she understand? Tanya should be helping her, not going against her wishes and bringing up the past. As she moved away she caught Aisha's eye and mouthed that she needed the toilet, not wanting to interrupt the game with such an announcement.
The other yellow nodded and just grinned at her, but as soon as the pink clad girl had turned around she nudged the other pink clad girl.
Kim turned her attention away from Adam trying not to laugh at Rocky and Zack's shenanigans as they plagued the poor boy with ridiculous guesses as to what he was trying to mime to them. Turned out that Zack and Rocky could make quite the pair.
Meeting Aisha's eyes she instantly recognised the worried look in them and turned to see the cause, a retreating form of their friend. Sighing, her happy mood now gone, Kim managed a weak smile and got up. As she walked past the group she put her hand on Tommy's shoulder, bending down to whisper to him.
"She's fine, Tommy."
Standing back up again she tried for a smile, but was met with Tommy's disbelieving frown.
"Don't try that with me, Kim. I know you both too well. Just find out what's wrong with her ok?"
Kim nodded, seeing the deep concern in his eyes and finally realising how deeply Tommy cared for Katherine. With this strengthening her resolve she strode off determinedly after the Australian, not prepared to take anything less then the truth. And after her quick whispered conference with Tanya earlier, not prepared to accept any of it.
Next chappie gets down and dirty with the intimacy! And I know I've been saying a certain colour will come for ages but it is appearing in the next chapter, promise! Hope you liked and please review!
