You Never Knew

The Juice Bar was fairly crowded, as two good friends sat a table. The silence was nearly unbearable as they watched Tommy and Jason spar. Both knowing what the other was thinking, it took a while before one actually spoke up to say a word.

"It's been a while since we've seen Trini around," stated Billy, as his eyes moved on to Kimberly who was concentrating on her performance on the balance beam.

"Yeah, it's like she packed up and left town" Zack joked, as he let out a short laugh. Billy just stared at him as he fell silent. He realized how serious not seeing or hearing from her in the past three days was as he apologized for the comment. Billy turned away as he shook the comment off. "No, but seriously. Have you heard from her?"

"No," sighed Billy, remembering his attempts in contacting her over the phone, but received no answer. "You?" Zack sadly shook his head.

"I'm sure she's fine. Kimberly, wouldn't be acting as if things were if it wasn't" Zack pointed out as Billy agreed.

"Yeah, I'm sure she's just catching up with her parents," replied Billy, thinking about her sudden disappearances she had to make with them because of the Power Ranger business. "It's a perfect time and all, now that Lord Zedd and Rita have finally taken a break." He was about to pursue more into the conversation, but he noticed Zack's eyes staring right past him and at the same time he gave Billy a weird look.

"Hey guys" smiled Katherine, before Billy could turn around.

"Hey ladies" Zack said, as he stood up.

"Here have a seat," offered Billy, as Zack and him motioned for their girlfriends to sit. He let out a silent sigh, as he fell back in his seat. That was way to close.

"Thanks," replied Angela as she gave Zack a quick kiss on his cheek.

Zack's face lightened up, as he watched Angela converse with Katherine. He still couldn't believe after all this time Angela was finally his girlfriend. Imagine his disappointment when he found out his acceptance to the Peace Conference. Although he talked about it being good for his social and love life, the whole time in Switzerland his heart was still set on Angela. He couldn't believe his luck when he returned to see her excitement just by seeing his face. The time given after returning and before receiving the Black Ranger's powers back from Adam, gave him the advantage he needed to show exactly how much he cared for her.

"Zack?" Angela repeated as she waved her hand in front of his face.

"Huh? Oh, I'm sorry" Zack quickly replied as he sat up.

Angela giggled at his reaction as she patted his shoulder, "Come on, you can buy me a drink." Katherine's gazed pulled away from her boyfriend's to Angela as she titled her head in confusion. Angela waved her hand at her, as Zack stood up. She knew there was something on Billy's mind and Katherine wanted to know exactly what that was, so she decided to give the two privacy and at the same time get some privacy with Zack as well.

Katherine glanced back at her boyfriend, who watched Zack and Angela walk away. "You okay?" Katherine questioned with concern, realizing Billy hadn't said a word since he offered her his chair.

Billy's expression softened as he smiled, "I'm fine." She gave him an unsure look, causing him to reach out for her hand. "I'm okay. I promise" Billy said, as he smiled. He really was, his mind was just on his Asian friend. Katherine smiled, trying hard to believe him. It caused him to let out a small laugh.

"What?" Katherine slowly asked, wondering if she said or did anything to cause him to laugh.

"Nothing," smiled Billy as he shook his head. Her expression stayed the same as she stared into his eyes. "It's just . . . sometimes I wonder how you ever became my girlfriend."

"Oh? Why do you say that?" questioned Katherine who was rather curious.

"Don't take this offensively, but I'm not actually the type of guy you pictured yourself dating, right?" Billy replied he was pretty sure he was correct.

"You do have a point," Katherine quietly said. She was rather embarrass by the fact she probably wouldn't have given Billy a second look if it wasn't for the break up with Tommy and Kimberly's returning. His friendship was exactly what she needed at the time. "But, the same goes for you." Billy's eyes widen with curiosity with what she had meant. "Come on. I'm not exactly the first girl you would go after."

Billy let out a laugh, "I'll give you credit for that. Truthfully, you were the last friend I would see myself with. In the past to everyone Trini and I made complete sense and for a while I thought so to, but . . ."

"She was too much of a friend?" Katherine finished, who was a bit unsure if those were the words Billy was looking for.

"Yeah," nodded Billy, his mind going back on Trini again. "And Kimberly. Don't even ask me how I could picture myself with her before you." He smiled as Katherine laughed. She could think of a few reasons. The two went way back and she had helped him through his hardship years growing up, it made some sense to see a relationship become out of that. "I'm happy, though, that it's you that ended up being my girlfriend." Katherine's thoughts snapped. "I guess fate has us seeing the inner beauty as well as the outer." A smile appeared on Katherine's face, it had to be the sweetest thing any guy had ever said. Billy had complimented her constantly on her appearance, but for the first time he actually acknowledged out loud her inner beauty.

From the bar table, Angela watched as Billy and Katherine shared a kiss. She let out a sigh, as Zack decided to give her one as well. "Hm, what was that for?" Angela asked, as they pulled away.

"For being you," Zack thankfully said, as they held hands silently deciding to head back to Billy and Katherine. Angela could feel her face grow warm at the comment; Zack sure had a way in sweet-talking her.

"Hey" smiled Billy, as Zack and Angela approached the two.

"Hello," Angela replied as she smiled catching Katherine mouthed a 'thank you' and 'everything's okay' to her.

"So where's Trini?" questioned Katherine, as she sat up looking at her three friends before her eyes quickly scanned the Juice Bar for the lovely Asian.

"Yeah, it's been a while since we've seen her" added Angela with a frown.

Both, Angela and Katherine's attention turned to a their boyfriends. The two friends were discussing the disappearance of their friend, Trini, earlier, before they had joined Billy and Zack at their table and decided to ask their boyfriends. The conversation fell silent, as Zack and Billy exchanged looks, unsure on exactly what they should tell their girlfriends.
