Eddie pressed himself against the wall, he had heard of Mama bears, but this woman gave it a whole new meaning, he was sure that if she thought she could get away with it she would probably rip his head off.
"Now, now there isn't any reason to be hasty," he said, desperately trying to save himself.
"I'm not being hasty," Kim growled, secretly enjoying the way he squirmed against the wall that she had backed him into, "I'm just warning you that if I ever hear of so much of a rumor that you're pulling this type of crap again, I will hunt you down."
"Let me guess, you know someone who can make it look like an accident?" Eddie asked, with more bravado than he actually felt.
"Around these parts they're probably talking about her when they say that," Kira announced, watching her mother yell at the man, "One guy tried to make a move on her and no one's seen him since."
"That's not quite true," Kim injected, "He died in a car accident after your father and I returned home. I had nothing to do with it."
With that Kim turned away from Eddie placing a supportive hand on Kira's shoulder, "I'm sorry that things didn't work out the way you wanted them to," she said.
"I should have listened to you," Kira admitted, as she followed her mother out of the building, "You told me to be careful and I wasn't."
"Don't beat yourself up too much," Kim assured her daughter, "These kind of things happen all the time, luckily for you you have an Aunt in the business who can help you out."
"You aren't upset that I called Aunt Tanya instead of you for advise?"
Kim shook her head, "Nope, not at all, she knows and understands this business a lot better than I do." she paused for a second, "Which reminds me, Tanya is guest staring on the Funky Fisherman Cartoon Show, and there's an internship she thinks that she can help you get if you want it. It could get your foot in the door of show biz. Tanya thought you might be interested."
...
Kira stared around the set, so this was what a TV set looked like. Just then a man came up to her, demanding a coffee, only to dump it out on the floor with a, "To much cream."
"Excuse me," a woman's voice called out as she stepped forward, pulling the cup of coffee out of the Funky Fisherman's hand, "I don't put up with this kind of behavior from my toddler I won't put up with it from an adult." She insisted, her voice hard and serious.
"Excuse me," the Funky Fisherman demanded, "don't you know who I am?"
"Obviously you're a spoiled child," Tanya said with a smirk, winking at Kira, "Now you have the count of five to apologize to Kira and then you can clean up this mess. The janitors don't need to clean up after your tantrum."
Kira smirked, "Aunt Tanya, I can't believe that you actually stood up to him like that," she insisted, as she watched the Funky Fisherman blabber away about being the star of the show and therefore should not be being bossed around by mere Guest Stars.
"It's something your mother taught me, you can't give into tantrums, I don't care how old the person is," Tanya leaned forward, "That's why your siblings are so well behaved."
"Did you need help with Summer, or Uncle Adam?" she asked.
"Uncle Rocky and Zack," Tanya explained with a smirk, "Those two are just over grown children."
"How Aunt Aisha and Aunt Emily put up with those two..." Kira said, shaking her head, she loved her uncles, but now that she was getting older she had noticed that unlike the rest of her parents friends they had a tendency to act immaturely.
"Oh haven't you heard, Emily and Zack broke up. He's with Angela, again."
"What happened, He's been with Emily since I was eight."
Tanya shrugged, "I don't know, all I know is that they broke up and Emily kicked him out of the house."
"And he's with Angela?"
"We've seen the two together several times, so I'm assuming they're together."
Kira shook her head as Tanya got called up onto the set, completely surprised to hear about Zack, she hadn't known him when he hadn't been dating Emily, even though she was aware that he had an old flame.
...
"So how is work at the TV Station going?" Tommy asked that next Friday as he worked on something on the computer down in the lab.
"Great," Kira said, peering over his shoulder, apparently he was working on a way to activate the Triassic Power without draining her and Ethan, "The Funky Fisherman has had a major mood adjustment since he got caught in that Television."
Tommy nodded, "So what are you doing today, seeing as you have the day off?"
"Day off, as if, it's Friday, I have a gig and I'm performing a new song. In fact, I better head to the Cafe and make sure that everything is set up for tonight." she turned to were her friends were lounging around, "You want to come with?"
"Wish I could," Conner said, "But I have soccer practice."
Kira nodded, even though the soccer season wouldn't be until spring, Conner always made time to practice at least twice a week.
"What about you Ethan?" she offered.
"I can't... I have to go somewhere... with my mom... to the dentist... for an appointment..." Ethan said clumsily.
Kira gave him a weird look, "Okay that's fine," she said, as she wondered why he was lying to her. He did know that he could trust them right?
"Okay, I'll just see you guys later then I guess."
...
Kira couldn't believe her eyes, Ethan was hanging out with Cassidy? Not only was Cassidy a huge jerk but she was also determined to learn the secret identities of the power rangers. She was basically a female Bulk and Skull, only she had some brains. Not a lot, but some.
"Cassidy is a great person, once you get to know her," Ethan insisted, "She's just insecure, she never makes the first move, but if you make the first move."
"And what exactly should I do?"
"You work for Channel Three don't you, can't you get her a job as a news reporter, or something?"
"I'm just some unpaid intern who only got the job as a favor for her famous Aunt."
"Come on, you're a yellow aren't you, yellows are known for being stubborn right?"
"And I'm being stubborn about this, I'm not helping Cassidy," Kira froze, that sounded a whole lot more childish than she had wanted it to, "Fine, I'll help Cassidy get an interview for a news reporter job, but I can't promise you that it will lead to anything."
