Author's Notes: This is my take on what would happen if Tommy and Kimberly met on different circumstances. Kim's three years younger than him, does Tommy still fall head-over-heals for her?

"Honey where are you going?" Mrs. Oliver called before Tommy could fully step out of the door.
He rolled his eyes and knew her motherly instinct had not failed her. ^^Here we go....'Where are you going?' 'Who are you going with?' 'When will you be back?'^^ "I'm going to party with a bunch of friends, mom."
"When will you be back?" She queried walking through the door carrying a basket of dried clothes to fold.
"I really don't know. How about I call you when I get there and tell you?" He suggested.
"Alright, but you better not forget again, otherwise you'll be in big trouble."
He rolled his eyes again. "Yes mother."
She kissed him on the cheek. "Have fun dear."
"Thanks." And with that he walked out of the door and hopped into the black pickup truck at the end of the driveway. His mother watched as the car pulled out of the driveway and sped down the street.
"Hey guys." Said Rob opening the door.
"Hey." They all answered in unison. They looked in and saw that the party had already started. There house was messy and every room was full of people.
"Just point me to the keg." Tommy said.
"Sorry bro, no keg." Jack said walking up to them.
"Is this guy for real?" Tommy asked the others.
"Wait you mean to tell me that there is no alcohol at this party?" Jason asked in a shocking tone.
"No, but we only have bottles, no keg." Rob answered.
Tommy put up a hand of relief. "Thank God, I actually thought for a moment that there was no booze." Rob smiled; he started to think that he and Tommy would get along just fine.
"Come on Oliver, I'll lead you over to the cooler." Said Rob.
The rest of the guys threw their jackets in a bedroom and found sitting space in the only room which wasn't fully occupied. It happened to be the dinning room.
Trini entered through the front door but Kimberly was stopped by Jack who put his leg up as a blockade in the doorway.
"Ah-ah, you know the rules Kim: No Freshies allowed." He smiled sweetly at her.
Kimberly rolled her eyes. ^^What a jerk! I really don't need this now.^^ "Come on Jack, I attract half of the guys to your lame party!"
"Oh, so now my parties are lame!" He said as he started to shut the door.
Rob stopped him. "Hey Jack don't leave her out there, of course she can come in."
Kimberly smiled at him.
"Of course, there is a catch..." He said manipulatively.
Kimberly smiled faded and her eyes narrowed. ^^Who the hell does he think he is?^^ "I'm not doing anything illegal." She stated plainly.
"Nonsense, you'll do what every freshman has to do to get into parties." Rob and Jack grinned and looked at each other.
^^Oh God.^^ Kimberly thought.
"Hey guys." Trini greeted her friends who were casually sitting in the dinning room.
"Hey Trini." Jason replied forcing the lump in his throat down. She stood there with her long dark her down, wearing a short jean skit and yellow tanktop.
"You came alone?" Zack asked.
"No, Kim was right behind me..." She turned around and realized that her friend was not there.
"Fresh meat! Fresh meat!" Chanted a bunch of guys walking towards the door.
"What's going on?" Tommy asked the others forgetting the fact that Trini had just mentioned Kimberly's names.
"Some Freshman is probably trying to get into the party." Billy said.
"They always make them do something in order to be allowed to stay." Trini said.
Jack, Rob, and the crowd came in.
Jack put a hand on Tommy's shoulder and pushed him so he sat down. "Oliver it's your turn, since you're the newest addition to a sports-team."
Tommy looked in confusion towards Zack and Billy who nodded.
"Okay Tommy, enjoy. A gift from us to you." Jack said. Tommy smiled and took another sip of his beer.
Yours is the cloth, mine is the hand that sews time
his is the force that
lies within
Ours is the fire, all the warmth we can find
He is a feather
in the wind
Kimberly's eyes widened as she realized who it was. Tommy sat calmly in a chair with his head leaning on his arms and tilting back on his chair. He was wearing a dark green, short-sleeved shirt and a pair of baggy jeans. His hair was slicked back with gel into a ponytail. She couldn't help but be physically attracted to him.
Kimberly was pushed from the small crowd towards Tommy. She donned a short, black skirt and pink tubetop. Her carmel hair was left down. Tommy had to be careful about what he was thinking of at the moment.
He stood up quickly. "Oh come one guys, she's just a kid!" ^^What the hell is she doing here?!?!^^ "I can't kiss her, she's only 15!"
"14." Kimberly corrected for him. She'd be 15 in a few months. ^^I'm not a little girl and I can kiss just as good as any other girl!^^ She'd show him how serious she could be in this instance.
"Don't worry about it, besides she has to do this is she wants to stay, it's the rules. And every new addition to the team gets some type of gift." Jack explained. ^^I know Kim has the hots for him, why not just help her out.^^
"All I got was a free beer." Jason whined.
"Yeah and you enjoyed it." Said Jack. He was annoyed that Jason had interrupted him. "Besides, I think Tommy would rather enjoy it." He said in a taunting tone.
"You guys can't be serious? She's still illegal, isn't there some law against this?" Tommy questioned trying to find any and every way out of this situation.
Jason laughed as he saw the worried expression on Tommy's face. "Relax bro, it's not like Kim's never kissed a guy before. I'm sure she has lots of experience." Kimberly objected to Jason's last comment but before she could say something, Jack interrupted her.
"And I don't wanna see any of that brother/sister kissing, I was some hardcore tongue!" Jack instructed. They forced Kimberly onto Tommy's left leg. He was about to take another sip from his bottle, but Kimberly pushed it away from his mouth and pressed her lips to his. Slowly her tongue found its way into his mouth and she wrapped her arms around his neck to pull herself up against him. He wrapped his free hand around her back and aided her in pulling her closer to him.
Zack, Jason, and Billy felt weird watching their friend go at it with they girl they had known for years. None of them had ever seen Kim kiss a guy the way she was kissing Tommy, it was almost scandalous.
When the kiss finally broke Kimberly decided it was pretty good aside from the fact that his mouth tasted of alcohol. As soon as her tongue was out of his mouth he took another sip of beer.
"So how was it?" Rob asked.
"It was...okay." Tommy admitted. Kimberly realized that Tommy was a little buzzed from drinking.
She looked at Tommy is disbelief. ^^That was probably the best kiss of his life and that's all he can say?!?!^^ He had taken her breath away during that kiss but it meant nothing to him. She hopped off of his leg and walked out of the room.
^^What's her problem. Did she expect me to lie?^^ He mused to himself.
All of my love, all of my love, oh,
All of my love to you, now.
All
of my love, oh, yes,
all of my love, to you now.
All of my love, all of
my love, oh,
Kimberly searched the bedroom for her sweater. After moving about thirty jackets, she found it in the pile and threw it on.
Twenty minutes later she walked down the hall searching for Trini only to find her sleeping on Jason's shoulder on the sofa in the family room. Zack and Billy were drinking and there was no way she was gonna ask Tommy after he just humiliated her.
She looked around and saw the person she would least likely ever ask to walk her home in the dark.
"Hey Skull." Kimberly said trying to sound cheerful. ^^This better work.^^
He turned around. "Hey Kimberly." he said in his normal gum-chewing manner.
"Listen I know we're not the best of friends, but I can't walk home alone, and the guys are all drinking or have already passed out." Skull nodded understanding and put an arm around her leading her to the door.
"Guys I think I just saw Kimberly leave with Skull." Zack said slowly. It was obvious that everyone was a little drunk.
"What she wouldn't leave with him." Tommy said.
"Well she wouldn't leave with you." Zack said laughing.
"Fuck you." Tommy replied, his speech was slurred. "She'd leave with me after that kiss she gave me." He paused, "I know she's young but damn, that girl is a good kisser!"
"Well, she wouldn't leave with you after you humiliated her." Billy added for Zack.
"Whatever." He responded ignoring them. He slowly got off the loveseat and staggered towards the door. He opened it and peered down the street. Sure enough he saw two, blurry figures walking down the pavement away from the house. For the first time since he had met Kimberly, Tommy felt himself long for another kiss from her.
All of my love, love
Sometimes,
hey hey hey
ooh yeah
it's all
all all
all of my love, all of my love,
to you now,
to, to you and
you and you and yeah
I get a little bit lonely.
Just standin' up...a
little bit a-lonely
"So do you wanna talk about what's got that bug up your ass?" Skull questioned.
Kimberly looked indignant, but she could see that he was serious. "Tommy." She replied simply.
Skull nodded.
"Is it that obvious?" She asked putting a hand on his arm.
He shook his head, "no. I just saw the way you looked at him the other day and realized it."
"Look I know what you're thinking, but I don't like him." She stated emphasizing the word 'don't'.
"You don't." He said looking bewildered.
"I don't know him that well to actually have a crush or like him. Yeah, I think he's cute but I know zip about him."
"So it's more of a physical attraction." He stated rather than asked.
She nodded, "I guess you could put it that way. That's the first thing I noticed about him and that's that only thing I know about him...what he looks like. Other than that, I'm clueless about him."
"And that bothers you, right?" Skull really didn't see why she was offering her feelings about Tommy to him.
"Well yeah. With other guys, I knew what type of girl they went for, what kind of music they listen to, etc. With him....he won't even look at me." She didn't even have to finish for Skull to understand.
"Well I guess you are alittle young for him." Skull admitted.
"I know, and I know I shouldn't even bother because he obviously isn't interested in me. But when he kissed me tonight...." She couldn't even finish her sentence.
She looked over at Skull and her was silently laughing. "I'm sorry, I should be talking to Trini about this, not you."
He shook his head, "no that's okay. I don't mind, I think Bulk passed out in the bathroom about an hour ago."
Kim laughed. "You know Skull, you're kinda nice when you're not acting like an asshole."
"I get that alot." He said grinning.
"Why do you act like that anyway?"
He shrugged. "Guess I didn't get enough attention as a kid, or something."
"I don't think it's that complicated." She offered.
"You don't?"
She shook her head. "I think that you act that way to get Bulk's approval." Skull's smile faded. Kimberly knew she was right. "You know you don't need him, he'd be nothing without you to kick around."
^^I know I should be angry, but she's right.^^ "And I'd be nothing without him. I have no other friends. And before you even say anything," he said cutting her off, "don't even say you'd be my friend 'cause that is a lie."
"Okay that is a lie. But if you came to school on Monday and carried on a normal conversation with me, like you just did, we would hang out on a regular basis." She said tucking a strand of her behind her ear.
"Look I know there's this rumor going around that I have this puppy-dog crush on you, but I just wanted to say it isn't true." He said calmly. "Bulk started that when I defended you when Jake said those nasty things about you last year." He looked at her and she was looking at him. "Anyway, I just thought you should know that."
He looked up and found her staring at him. She smiled at him, "thanks Skull, and I didn't believe that you had a crush on me. And thanks for sticking up for me."
"Okay well, goodnight." He said.
"Skull." Kim said and he turned around. She wrapped her arms around his neck and gave him a hug. Him took him a second or two to realize what was going on. He hugged her back. "Thanks for walking me home."
"No problem, I'll see you Monday."
"Bye." She said quietly before slowly shutting the door.
Notes: More coming soon, I promise!
