Kimberly was in the basement watching Jason and Tommy teaching Kelly and Alexis martial arts, so they had a mean of self-defense. Tommy wanted his sister to be able to protect herself, should another situation arise.

The teens are not technically grounded, but they are on restriction and have extra chores they have to do.

"You know, it's too bad we can't give Zedd a girlfriend." Kelly said when they were taking a break.

Tommy, Jason and Kimberly just looked at her. That wasn't such a bad idea, but they have no way of doing it.

"Yeah it is too bad we have no way of pulling that off. Zedd would definitely back off of me and let us live our lives." Kimberly agreed.

"I never thought I would hear my self say this, but I wish Rita would come back." Jason said.

"Yeah and maybe Zedd would fall in love with her and leave Kim alone from here on out. However, the two of them together will intensify the battles." Tommy told the others.

"So pretty much, we are in the middle of a lose-lose situation." Kim said sadly.

The rest nodded. Tommy went upstairs to the kitchen to get some bottled water or everyone. Just as he was heading back to the basement, the door bell rang. Since Tommy was standing right there and wasn't quite sure where the adults were, he answered it. He was shocked to see who it was.

"Well baby brother, aren't you going to invite me in." Taylor asked.

"Yeah bro, come on it. I was just surprised to see you. I thought you were in college." Tommy replied still stunned to see his 19 year-old brother standing there.

"I transferred to Angel Grove Community College. I missed my family and especially my baby brother." Taylor replied.

"Alright Tay, how much do you know?" Tommy asked wondering the real reason why he is there.

"Let's see, I have recently spoken to Alexis, mom and dad. But, you know who I haven't spoken to. Um, let me think, you. I haven't spoken to you in months." Taylor said.

"Give me a break, a lot has been happening." Tommy said rolling his eyes.

"So I heard. Let's see: First your girlfriend is reported missing, only to be held hostage by Lord Zedd, and then after she is rescued, her house catches fire. Now she is pregnant with your child. Did I leave anything out?" Taylor asked.

It became obvious to Tommy that his brother doesn't know everything, and he is not about to tell him so he just shook his head, "Nope, I think you covered it."

"Where is Alexis?" Taylor asked.

"In the basement, I have been teaching her Martial-Arts." Tommy said.

"Yeah, that is probably a good idea; especially, if she ends up being captured by Lord Zedd again." Taylor admitted.

Tommy looked at his brother shocked.

"Did Alexis tell you that?" Tommy gasped.

"No, mom did and she also ended up telling me what happened to your back." Taylor also admitted.

Tommy gave his brother a half-smile. He wondered how much their mother told him. Tommy just stared at Taylor, he wasn't about to admit to anything.

"What did happen to your back?" Taylor asked.

"Mom didn't tell you. I was attacked outside the school that is all." Tommy told him lying.

Taylor looked at his brother and he knew that he was lying. Taylor always knows when his brother and sister are lying to him.

"You are lying to me, why?" Taylor asked.

Tommy said nothing. Jason and the others came up to see what was taking Tommy so long. Alex saw her oldest brother and ran over to give him a hug.

"Tay, what are you doing here? When did you come back?" Alex asked him.

"I just got back into town and came straight over to see you." Taylor said hugging his sister.

"Did you know mom and dad are talking about having another baby? I think mom is a little jealous with Amanda and Kimberly being pregnant." Alex filled her brother in on what has been going on.

Taylor looked at his little sister, he wondered if she would really tell him the truth about what has been going on with their brother.

"Sis, what happened to our brother?" Taylor asked.

Alex looked at Taylor then at Tommy, Tommy was shaking his head. Alex looked back at Taylor and said, "It is just what mom told you, he and Jason were attacked by some bullies at school."

"Fine then, don't tell me the truth. I won't give up on this. Somebody hurt you and they won't get away with it." Taylor yelled at his brother.

"Taylor, drop it. Let it go, I have." Tommy shot back.

Alexis took Taylor to show him around the house, since he has never been there before.

"I know Taylor, he won't let this go. He will continue to dig into my life until he learns the truth. Practically everyone in this house and someone is bound to tell him the truth." Tommy told Jason and Kim.
