Tommy drove his car home, while Kimberly drove with Eric to the house in the woods. Tommy arrived first and went to check on the boys who had just finished cleaning the Zords for the day. Tommy thought about warning the boys about the company that was coming, but he decided not to.
"Hi Dr. O." Trent said as he saw him come into the room.
Tommy rolled his eyes at the formal greeting coming from the boy he is in the process of adopting.
"Trent, away from school; you can call me Tommy. That goes for you as well Conner."
"Okay Tommy, where is Aunt Kim?"
"I'm right here." Kim said as she came in the room.
Eric was standing behind Kimberly. "Hey Conn you still owe me a week of chores."
Conner hadn't turned around when Kimberly came in so he didn't know that his brother was also in the room. Trent also turned around and was shocked to see 'Conner' standing in the doorway and Conner sitting next to him on the couch.
"T-two Conner's and here I thought 1 is bad enough." Trent stuttered.
Conner jumped up and ran to his brother. "Trent, this is my twin Eric. He is my identical twin."
Trent got up and went over to the twins. "Hi Eric."
Eric greeted Trent and then turned back to his twin. "So Conn, when are you going to follow through on the bet we made 6 years ago."
"What bet was that?" Kim asked the boys.
"I thought we called the bet off when you broke your arm, and that dad would kill us for even making a bet like that in the first place." Conner responded.
"What bet?" Tommy asked.
"What were you betting? I remember when Eric broke his arm." Kim started and as she looked at the twins and their faces; she had a pretty good idea what they had bet. "Oh no, tell me you didn't."
"Didn't what?"
"So, I am guessing that Eric won the bet; some win a broken arm."
"Will someone fill me on this? How did Eric break his arm?" Tommy asked getting frustrated.
"Eric broke his arm trying to pick me up. He had just gotten me off the ground when he couldn't hold the hold and we fell. I landed on his arm and it broke. The boys are always trying to pick me up, I guess just to prove that they can." Kim explained she looked around and saw that Jason, Trini, Kira, Rocky and Aisha had all showed up at the house. Jason, as usual, just walks right in; letting everyone else in as well.
"Do not say a word!" Kim screeched at her friends.
"A word, a word about what?" Trini teased.
"A word about how 2 10-year-old thought that they could lift their 16-year-old Aunt off the ground and actually succeeded in doing that 2 years later." Kim replied.
"Oh you mean a word like how you are as light as a feather." Trini teased.
"Or how about that I can bench-press more than what you weigh." Jason added.
"I'm really surprised that considering how light you are; that you have actually managed to avoid flying away in the wind." Rocky smirked.
"Yes like that, that is exactly what I mean." Kim yelled angry at her friends for ridiculing her about her height and weight.
"Well I brought pizza." Aisha said changing the subject, as she has been on the receiving end of their friends' jokes as well. Not as much as Kimberly because she has even managed to be a little taller than Kimberly.
"Well Rocky better go last since he is on a diet." Kim said.
"Hey! I AM NOT ON A DIET!" Rocky yelled.
"Yes you are, a see-food diet. You see food, you eat it." Kim smirked.
"Well in that case, I guess I am." Rocky laughed.
"Good One Kim." Trini chuckled.
"A see-food diet, I am going to have to remember that; For Rocky." Jason added.
"And for Conner. Rocky, you are going last and since Conner has a tendency to be almost as bad as you, he will go right before you."
After everyone else had grabbed their pizza the two Reds with the endless appetite took their slices. Kim looked around the room and wondered if now was as good of a time as any to inform them about her new job.
"Jason you will have to handle the gym without me during the day." Kim started.
"And why is that?" Jason interrupted.
"Because, I got a job teaching Math at Reefside High. They have been having trouble trying to replace Mr. Davis since he left Reefside 3 weeks ago. I start Monday." Kim explained.
"Beautiful that is great. I can't wait to see you at school everyday."
"Congratulations Sis." Jason added.
"Well aren't you guys going to say something?" Kimberly asked when she saw how quiet the teens are.
"We are in that class." Conner stated, but from the tone in his voice was more along the lines of 'isn't it obvious.'
"You also happen to be in Tommy's science class and that doesn't seem to bother you." Kim replied.
"Yeah, but no offense; but the entire male population, with the exceptions of very few, will be hitting on you."
"Yeah, well I don't see your point. The same thing happened in High School, but I survived. Besides I don't think that the students would be dumb enough to hit on me knowing that my fiancée is right down the hall."
"Then you don't know them very well. I think it is wonderful that you will be teaching at Reefside. But the male students aren't going to care that Dr. O is at the school too. All they are going to see you and how attractive you are. But, that shouldn't stop you. Just be forewarned that a lot of the guys in the school are arrogant jerks, especially the jocks." Kira added.
"Hey, I resent that. I am a jock." Conner replied.
"Yeah, you are; and if she wasn't your Aunt. You would be the worse one of all." Kira answered back.
