Tommy and Kimberly tried to stay away from Kat, as much as they could. There were times that they couldn't stay away from her. They had classes with her, she was also a power ranger (so they had to get along with her, long enough to protect people from monsters), and they had lunch with her. Ever since Kat hid their clothes, the spent time away from their friends. Kat was always with Billy, Adam, Rocky, and Tanya. Tommy knew Kat didn't want Kimberly around.
She couldn't sit with her friends in class, at lunch, and it was hard for her to spend time with any of them. One time Kat caught Tommy and Kimberly between classes. She invited Tommy to sit with the rest of the rangers. She told them that she didn't care if Tommy was around, but Kimberly wasn't welcome to hang out with them. Tommy, didn't want any trouble with Kat, so he stayed with Kimberly. They were scared to tell their friends about Kat harassing them; they knew Kat was sneaky. While they were away, Kat had time to gain their trust. All of them seemed to like Kat.
Kimberly had several classes with Kat. During class, only two people could sit at a table. In every class, Tommy and Kimberly sat together. During lunch, they sat at a table in the back of the youth center. One morning, Mr. Kaplan made an announcement. They were starting a swim team. Even though the school didn't have a pool, they were competing at the community center. He told everyone that try outs would be the following day. Tommy and Kimberly both decided to try out. The next day, the went to try out. Kat was there. Kat noticed that Kimberly was wearing the same swimsuit that she had on. The only differences were the colors. Tommy had on a pair of red swimming trunks.
After practice, Mr. Kaplan put up the list of the students who made the team. Both Tommy and Kimberly made the team. Kat didn't make the team. They heard her argue with Mr. Kaplan because she didn't make the team. He told her she could be a fill in, if someone couldn't make it to a match. Mr. Kaplan told all of the students who made the team that they were going to go buy their uniforms. The students who would fill in also got to go.
After they got dressed, they went to the Angel Grove Mall. He told them that girls would be in a one piece suit and the boys would be in swimming trunks. Kat asked him if they'd have to travel to other school to compete. He told her yes.
"Mr. Kaplan, won't we have to wear something over our suits, when we travel?" asked Kat.
"Yes Kat, we will," answered Mr. Kaplan. " I realize that most teams have tracksuits that they wear. Everybody on the team will have one."
He took the team to the sporting good store in the Angel Grove Mall. Mr. Kaplan picked out the team's tracksuit. The jacket was purple and it had three yellow vertical stripes on each of the sleeves. The pants were purple and they had three yellow vertical stripes on each leg. He then looked at the swim wear. He choose a purple tank suit for the girls and purple swimming trunks for the boys. Mr. Kaplan had all of the team members go try on their suits and track suits. After they tried on the clothes, he purchased them. Mr. Kaplan had the Angel Grove High Logo put on the jackets and pants. He had each students name put on the pants and jacket.
When he gave the students their tracksuit and swimwear, he passed around a sign up sheet. Everyone on the team had to choose a partner. Who ever they picked would be the person they practiced with (during practice), sat by on the bus, and they were responsible for each other if any thing happened. Tommy and Kimberly paired up.
When Kat saw it she had a fit.
"You told us to pick a partner," explained Kat. "Tommy and Kimberly paired up."
"Kat, Kimberly is Tommy's spouse," answered Mr. Kaplan. "I see nothing wrong with it."
"I wanted to pair up with him!" declared Kat.
"I don't think Kimberly would like it if you tired to flirt with him," answered Mr. Kaplan. "I don't think Tommy would like it either."
Mr. Kaplan announced that the first match would be at the community center at the end of the week. Kat had a plan. She was going to keep Tommy and Kimberly from competing. On the day of the match, Mr. Kaplan told the team to wear their uniform to school. He gave all of the team members a purple tee shirt. It said Angel Grove High Swim Team. All of the team members came to school in their tracksuits and wore the shirt that Mr. Kaplan gave them. After School, they all went to the community center. Kat got into a Jayhawk costume, which was the schools mascot. In the community center, there were several locker rooms. All of them were full. Tommy and Kimberly were looking for an empty room to get ready for the first match.
They saw the high school's mascot. Somebody was wearing the costume. They decided to follow the mascot. They followed it to the end of the hallway. The Jayhawk opened a door. Tommy and Kimberly went into the dark room. As soon as they went in, someone grabbed them both. They felt something sticky cover their mouths. The mascot shut the door. Kat took off her helmet and turned on the light. They were stunned to see her. Niether one of them could tell who the other person was, because they were wearing a mask.
"Looks, like you won't be able to compete today!" remarked Kat. "I'll be taking Kimberly's place. We don't have to worry about you screaming."
Tommy and Kimberly saw Kat hold a roll of tape in her hand. The person in the mask was holding both of them really tight. Both of them were still wearing their tracksuits. Kat looked at them. She took off her costume. She was wearing a purple one piece suit.
"Looks like I forgot my tracksuit," stated Kat. "I'll borrow Kimberly's for today."
Kat got out some rope. She removed Kimberly's jacket. As soon as Kat took the jacket, she grabbed Kimberly's wrists. Kat began tied them together. Then she took her pants. Kat grabbed Kimberly's ankles and tied them together. Kimberly was still wearing her purple swimsuit. She watched Kat put on her track suit.
"It's a little small but it will do," remarked Kat. "I'm glad I'm wearing it. I am going to compete and it down on me that the tracksuits are nylon. The material makes a swoosh noise, when you walk. Now, I don't have to worry about you trying make the material rub together."
Kat looked at Tommy. The person in the mask was still holding Tommy. He couldn't move and the piece of tape was still covering his mouth. The person removed their mask. They looked just like Tommy and they were wearing purple swimming trunks. Kat removed his jacket and tee. Tommy felt his wrists be tied together. The person posing as Tommy put on his tee shirt and jacket. Tommy's track pants was taken next. He felt his ankles being tied together. The person posing as him put on Tommy's pants. Tommy was sitting there in his purple swimming trunks. Kat took the rope and wrapped it around his shoulders.
Kat walked up to Tommy. She had a grin on her face. What was Kat going to do. Kat pulled the tape off of Tommy's mouth.
"Why did you do this Kat?" demanded Tommy.
"You wouldn't date me," answered Kat. "Well, I can get what I've always wanted from you. Bring Kimberly closer. I want her to see to this."
The person posing as Tommy, grabbed Kimberly by the hair. They drug her so she could see Tommy and Kat.
"What have you always wanted to do to me?" demanded Tommy.
"This," answered Kat.
She pulled him close to her and she started kissing him on the lip. Kimberly started crying. She tried to move but couldn't. Kat turned around at looked at Kimberly. She saw tears were pouring down her face.
"You don't like it," remarked Kat. "Do you, Kimberly?"
Tommy finally broke away. He was mad as heck.
"What will it take for you to stop bothering us?" asked Tommy.
"I just kissed you," answered Kat. "I'm going to take Kim's place today."
"Mr. Kaplan said if you couldn't show up, you had to call," explained Kat. "If you don't, you are banned from the swim team and all of the school events, until after Christmas break."
She pulled the tape off of Kimberly's mouth. Kimberly was still sobbing.
"Kat, why did you kiss him?" sobbed Kimberly.
"He wouldn't go on a date with me," answered Kat. "So, I kissed him."
"Kat, you've hurt her enough," demanded Tommy. "What will it take for you to release us?"
"You don't say anything to anyone else!" ordered Kat. "And you agree to take you punishment. You will be banned from the swim team, all of the school events, and the senior trip."
Kimberly looked at Tommy. At this point, she didn't care what happened. She just wanted Kat to not kiss Tommy again.
"Deal," promised Tommy.
Kat cut them loose and let them out of the closet. They didn't even bother to ask for their uniforms back. After Kat left, Tommy and Kimberly teleported back to their private dorm in the command center. Kimberly was still crying. Tommy suggested that they soaked in their hot tub for awhile. He got the temperature right and they got in. Kimberly laid her head on his shoulder.
"I'm sorry," sobbed Tommy.
"What for?" asked Kimberly. "She kissed you. You had nothing to do with it."
"I agreed to not tell on her," answered Tommy. "I know, we're banned from the swim team, school events, and the senior trip."
"We had been looking forward to the trip to the water park," replied Kimberly. "You should tell on her."
"I don't want to sink to her level," responded Tommy. "You are much more important than a trip. During the senior trip, we'll go to my uncle's cabin. It's Christmas week anyway."
