Kimberly drove home feeling both anger and guilt. On one hand she had the right to be furious at all the things Kat said but then again, Kat would not have said those things under different circumstances. Kat was probably just as nervous about seeing her after all these years. Kimberly let out a sigh and made note to apologize to Kat the next time they met, but for now, she needed to let off some steam. She drove home and got her gym wear. Then she headed off to the Youth Center to work off some steam.


Ethan and Cassidy returned to the school but Tommy was no where to be found. They found Devin standing near the chemistry lab.

"Hey Dev, you seen Dr. Oliver?" Cassidy asked impatiently.

"Uh, yeah."

"Well…"

"Um…let's see now. Where did he say?...Oh yeah, I know. He went to the Youth Center to get a drink. He should be back shortly to finish grading some papers."

"Thanks Dev." Then Cassidy and Ethan headed towards the youth center.


When Kimberly entered the youth center a great feeling overcame her. It had been so long since she had been on the inside. As usual there were people everywhere. Some were lifting weights and practicing karate while others were reading and drinking at the bra. She looked around but did not see Ernie anywhere. Kimberly noticed that everything was about the same except for it seemed as though the room had been extended a couple of feet, which was great. She now had more room to tumble and dance. Kimberly found the old familiar balance beam and decided to give it a go. It had been a while since she had done the beam but she figured it would be a good warm up. She took a step back then mounted the beam to begin an old favorite routine.


Tommy was sitting at the juice bar when Cassidy and Ethan entered the center. Tommy spotted them just as they were coming in.

"You know, you guys are starting to make me wonder. I see you two together and I get all scared. What are you up to now?" he asked curiously.

"Um…well nothing. Just thought we'd drop by and see how you were doing Dr. O," Ethan answered quickly. Cassidy was frantically looking around the youth center.

"Hey Cas, are you…looking…for…somebody?" Tommy asked slowly. He noticed that she was looking all over the place was starting to think that maybe she had gotten herself into some kind of trouble.

"Um…Not really," she answered. "But…" She was cut off immediately by a load applause.

"I wonder what's going on?" Ethan asked curiously. All three turned to see what the commotion was about. The people in the youth center were all staring at some girl doing a routine on the beam. Cassidy look horrified.

"Cas, is something the matter?" Tommy asked. He was now starting to worry that Ethan and Cassidy were keeping something from him.

"Um…yeah, everything."

"Hey, Cas, um…that chick on the beam looks just like…"

"I KNOW ETHAN! JUST SHUT IT!"

"Cas, what are you…?" There was another round of applause and Tommy's question was drowned out by the applauses. He looked up to see the girl make a backflip on the beam look easy.

"Wow. She's good," Tommy commented.

"Yeah she would be on account she's been doing it all her life," Ethan said. Cassidy shot him an evil look and Ethan decided not to talk anymore.

"Um…Dr. Oliver, I think we should go now. I uh…need help with my…my work," she said quickly.

"Uh…what work Cas? I thought you turned in all your homework yesterday? I'm sure you did because I graded it this morning. Are you sure you're feeling ok? You look very nervous about something?" Cas didn't say anything. She just watched as Kimberly continued playing around on the beam, never missing a step or turn. Tommy watched too and realized that it had been a while since he'd seen anybody that good on the beam.

"You know Cas, you sister's really good at that stuff…" Ethan stopped short only after just realizing what he let slip. Cassidy didn't say anything but looked very nervous. She was hoping that maybe Tommy didn't hear but judging from the look on his face, she knew he had heard.

"Cas, you didn't tell me that you had a sister," he said softly, his eyes never leaving the beam.

"Uh…well, no…but, don't mind Ethan. He's just…" Before she could finish her statement, Tommy had started to walk through the crowd. As he got closer, the girl's face became clearer and he soon realized that it really was her…Kimberly. She looked as beautiful as ever and she still had that perfect gym body. Her hair looked as if it had been trimmed a little but it didn't matter. Any hairstyle looked good on her. He watched as she did a series of turns and a backflip to the end of the beam. The crowd went nuts once again. She smiled as she looked around the room at her onlookers. It felt great to be back in the gym but it felt even better to be back in Angel Grove. She did one last sweep of the crowd and then prepared to dismount. Tommy stood back into the crowd and watched a perfect dismount. He expected nothing less from Kimberly. She was a perfectionist when it came to her gymnastics. After her dismount, the crowd applauded her once again and she started to make her way through the crowd. Tommy turned and walked back to the juice bar where Cassidy and Ethan were waiting nervously.

"Dr. Oliver I am so sorry that I didn't tell you…"

"It's okay Cassidy," he said softly. "I didn't need to know." He grabbed his coke and keys. "I'll see you guys later. I need to go home and get ready for practice this afternoon. Oh and Cas, give your sister a hug for me." And then he walked off without even looking towards Kimberly.

"Oh Cas, he looked so…"

"I know Ethan, but I'm glad he chose not to say anything to her. It's just too soon and I don't think Kimberly needed to see him today either. It would have been just too weird but still…I can tell he still cares for her. Did you see the look in his eyes? It was amazing!"

"Cas, calm down. I am not helping you do ANYTHING, you got that? We have enough trouble as it is. I see why Devin looks the way he looks all the time. You're driving that poor guy mad!"

"Oh Ethan, don't be so dramatic. Let's go over and speak to my sister. And don't you DARE say anything about Tommy. You got that?!"

"Yeah, yeah."

"Alright, let's go."
