Well, this chapter is, admittedly, a good deviation from what i've been doing.

Here, folks, have a chapter different then the last 11. :)

Chapter 12: Why ME?

December 2, 2008

Where as the jungle fury rangers were getting used to the rigorous trainings, it had been two weeks since the memorial, and Tommy Oliver was getting ready to step in Fully as CEO of Sugimori Corporation.

"You look good," Kim said, "You're just like your brother, you look damn good in a suit."

"I'd rather be rangering," Tommy said, "But Kev asked, and I obliged, so it's all my fault."

Kim giggled, which seemed really out of place coming from a klingon.

"Holy fuck, you giggled."

Kim smirked and pulled Tommy to the bed, making sure that the new CEO would be ready for the day ahead of him.

Two hours later

Tommy walked onto the top floor of the Sugimori Corp building in Ocean Bluff, the current main office of the tech giant.

"Doctor Oliver," the receptionist Sabrina said, " You have a meeting at two with Generals Hank Landry and Jack O'Neill. Also, you have a package on your desk... from a Helen Magnus."

"Thank you, Sabrina," Tommy said, "I know now why my brother hired you."

Sabrina looked sullen for a second then smiled, "I'm not going to lie. Everyone in the company, from this office to International, to Home office misses Mr. Sugimori. He brought most of us from poverty and gave us jobs that made sure we'd be able to survive for years to come. I myself used to live in a homeless shelter. We know you aren't Kevin Sugimori, but you'll do a great job."

Tommy nodded, "Hold my calls for me, i've got some stuff to look through."

When Tommy made it inside the private office, he took out his knife and set to opening the package, which had a disk with a white dino thunder symbol on it.

After the black Dino thunder ranger logged on to his terminal and opened the disc menu, he set a pair of headphones on his head and navigated through the pages and videos.

When Tommy left the office, he looked to Sabrina, who seemed to be meditating.

Tommy looked at the girl more closely.

"She's Vulcan," Tommy said to himself maybe a bit too loud.

"Actually, Romulan," Sabrina said, "3/4ths human and 1/4ths Romulan."

"Ah," Tommy said, "Well, i'm gonna get some chow, i'll be back quick."

2:30 PM

Tommy sat in the conference room, looking Generals Hank Landry and Jack O'Neill in the eyes.

"Generals, It's come to my attention that the technology contract with the SGC is nearing its expiration date," Tommy said.

"Yep," Jack said, "Look, I know you ain't Sparky... I mean Sugimori, but we'd like to try to get a new contract written out. SugimoriCorp tech is good stuff, and without it, it's a good possibility that some of us wouldn't be here today."

"I'll have something written up. Well, you two have a good trip back to Colorado."

"Have a good one, Doctor," Jack said, as the three parted company.

"Well," Jack said as he and Landry walked out of the massive building, "That was productive."

"Teal'c, Daniel, Cam, Vala, and Carter are gonna meet us at the Knoll where the memorial took place for Kev," Landry said, "You know, to pay final respects."

"Yeah," Jack said as the vehicle they entered started to move, I can't believe it myself. I remember it like it was yesterday, a kid on Exchange to Japan coming back to the U.S., and getting stuck going on missions.... and now he's gone."

Landry didn't say a word. He hadn't known Sugimori as long as O'Neill had, but SugimoriCorp was a big governmental contractor.

Tommy walked into the house and put his briefcase on the floor.

"Kim?" Tommy hollered, not seeing his wife.

"In Here!"

When Tommy walked into the kitchen, his eyes went wide.

"You've been busy," Tommy said, "Candlelight dinner? It's beautiful."

Kim grinned, embracing her husband and giving him a good, long kiss.

Tommy just savored every second of it.

Oh no, part fluff!!!

Well, Next chapter's gonna be short too. But 14 and 15 should be normal length.

Until then, may you learn the value of a good filler chapter.
