A/N Hey guys here's chapter 11. Hope you all enjoy it. There's some fluff he he.. More ranger stuff next chapter. Promise! Oh, and you know I don't own anything blah de blah de blah... Obviously... since this is on a fanfiction website. Kinda implied that I don't own anything. The plots mine though. Steal it and you're dead. Just kidding!
"Popcorn?"
"Check!"
"Chocolate?"
"Check!"
"Channing Tatum movie?"
"The most important thing," Tamara giggled. She and Jayda were going to watch a movie before heading off to bed. Jayda popped the DVD in the player and grabbed the remote before joining Tamara on the sofa. She pressed the play button and took a handful of popcorn from the bowl on the coffee table.
"We totally deserve this after such a hard day," she said, winking at her friend.
"Oh yes, we sure do!" The two girls giggled. Today had been their first day as Power Rangers, but they were all pretty sure that it wasn't their last. "I wonder what the guys are doing to relax."
Jayda shrugged and popped a square of chocolate into her mouth. "Joe said something about playing video games with Parker, so I zoned out."
"What about Ryan?"
"I don't really know him that well. I think I've seen him around before at school, but I don't think I have ever spoken to him…"
"Hmm… I wonder why we were picked to be the rangers anyway," said Tamara, lowering her voice to a whisper. Jayda's mom, Lisa, was just in the other room, and they didn't want her to hear what they were saying.
"Who knows," said Jayda, also whispering. "There's obviously some reason, but for now I guess we will just have to accept it."
Tommy's House
"Jason called," Adam yelled from the kitchen. The rest of the rangers were all in the living room, watching TV. It was getting pretty late, but none of them had left yet. Adam walked into the living room and handed Justin a bowl of popcorn. "It's a boy."
"Awww," said the girls, smiling.
"Do they have a name for him yet?" asked TJ.
"Yeah, Ben," Adam replied, grabbing a handful of popcorn. "He said Tommy just left too, so he should be home soon."
"I don't think he will be too happy to see all of us still here when he gets back," Ashley said, looking at her watch.
"We'll just say he told us not to go anywhere," said Justin. "Then when he says that he doesn't remember saying that, we will inform him that he is a very forgetful person." The others laughed. It was true that Tommy's memory was not the best.
"Maybe I should call him now, and tell him that you are all still here," suggested Conner. "Then, if he is mad about it, you can all leave before he gets here."
"Excellent plan!" said Tanya, giggling. "Although, you will be left to deal with him."
"I'll just go to bed and pretend to be asleep. I perfected this technique when I was a kid."
Conner took out his cell phone, then scrolled through his contacts list until he came to "Dr Oliver". He pressed the call button and waited for him to pick up.
"Hello?" A look of confusion spread across Conner's face. A female voice had answered. "Hi, is Dr O – I mean, is Tommy there?"
"Yeah but he's driving." Conner could hear Tommy in the background asking who it was. "Tell him it's Conner." The other rangers were all looking at him now. They were wondering what was going on.
"Tommy says he will call you back when he stops. Is that ok?"
"Yeah sure, it's not overly important."
"Ok, bye," said the woman on the phone, hanging up. Conner put his phone away.
"Who answered it?" asked Adam, curiously.
"A woman," he replied. "She said he was driving so he couldn't answer."
"Aw man, we are definitely sticking around till he comes home," said Katherine, giggling.
"Yeah he has some explaining to do," said Adam, winking.
Tommy's Car
"I wonder what that was about," said Kimberly, handing the phone back to Tommy.
"I had guests over before I drove Jason to the hospital. They are all still there and he is checking whether I will be angry about that or not."
"How do you know that?" asked Kimberly, curious.
Tommy shrugged. "It seems like the most likely thing. Jason has probably contacted them to tell them all about Ben, so they know that I am on my way home."
"They don't call you Dr Oliver for nothing, do they?" said Kimberly, laughing.
Tommy chuckled. "And you thought Billy was smart…"
"Ok, now you are pushing it."
"Yeah, maybe a little." They pulled into Kimberly's driveway and Tommy stopped the engine. "Do you want to come in for a coffee or something?" asked Kimberly.
"Why not?" said Tommy shrugging. They both got out of the car and headed into the house. Kimberly headed straight for the kitchen to make the coffee. Tommy followed her. "I'm going to call Conner back," he said as Kimberly busied herself with the coffee machine.
"You called?"
"Yeah I was just wondering when you'd be back."
"I don't care that they are all still there," Tommy said, smirking.
"Oh ok… hey, how did you know?"
"I know you too well."
"Whatever. Who answered the phone when I rang?"
"Huh? Oh, that was Kimberly."
Conner was silent. "Hello? Earth to Conner?"
"See you when you get back. Bye!" He hung up before Tommy got a chance to say anything. "Weird," he said, putting his cell phone away.
Kimberly handed him a cup of coffee. "I guess you were right then?" she said.
"Yep, he asked me when I'd be back as soon he answered. He's not very good with being subtle."
"Well, neither are you," Kimberly teased. Tommy pretended to be hurt by her comment. "You hurt my feelings Kim! I'll never be able to get on with my life until you take it back."
"Well, I guess you're never getting on with your life then." Her phone began to ring, but just as she reached out to answer it, Tommy grabbed it and held it up high above her head. "No fair!" she huffed, making a jump for it.
"It's not my fault that you're so small," Tommy teased, holding her cell phone up even higher.
"Tommy, that could be a very important phone call," she whined, still attempting to reach it.
Tommy grinned and answered it. "Hello, Kimberly's phone," he said in a funny voice. Kimberly scowled as he ran away from her. She went after him; he was now standing in the middle of her living room.
"No, I think the question is, who are you?"
"Tommy Oliver, you give that phone back this instant!" Kimberly scolded. To her surprise, he handed it to her. "It's your daughter," he said, chuckling.
Kimberly grabbed the phone from his hand and hit him on the shoulder as he walked past her to go back to the kitchen. She put the phone to her ear. "Hey honey," Kimberly said, shaking her head.
"What was all that about? Why is Dr Oliver there?"
"Your science teacher just decided to be very childish," said Kimberly.
"I heard that!" said Tommy, sticking his head round the door. Kimberly just smirked and stuck her tongue out at him.
"Ok, why is he there?"
"He drove me home from the hospital; Trini and Jason needed my car apparently."
"Hmm ok… I was just calling to say goodnight."
"Goodnight sweetie. Oh, and Trini had a boy. They're calling him Ben."
"Awww, I bet he's really cute."
"Yeah, he is," said Kimberly, remembering how cute baby Ben was. "I'll see you tomorrow honey."
"Ok, 'night Mom."
After Kimberly was finished talking on the phone, she went back into the kitchen. She scowled at Tommy, pretending to be mad. "What did I do?" he asked innocently, sipping his coffee. Kimberly laughed. "You know what you did."
He smirked and looked at his watch. It was getting very late. "I'd better go," he said. "I have a feeling that nobody will leave my house until I return… We should definitely do this again though. It was fun."
She hit his shoulder playfully. "Well, as long as you don't steal my cell phone again, that is."
Tommy looked offended. "I was only trying to help. I thought you'd love an assistant to answer your phone calls for you."
"No thanks, I'm good," giggled Kimberly. They walked to her front door together. Tommy shivered as he opened the door; it was cold out. "See you later Kimmie."
"Don't call me that," she said, grinning. The grin faded, however, when she saw a black Porsche pull up outside her house. Dave Sanders stepped out of the car, and he didn't look too happy.
"Broccoli alert," said Tommy, quietly so only Kimberly could hear him.
"Dave, what are you doing here at this time of night?"
"What am I doing here?" he growled. "What is he doing here?"
