Three weddings and a funeral
Disclaimer : Didn't steal the title from that film because that was four weddings, I don't own any of the characters Saban owns them. There said it.
Couples : Rocky/Kim, Aisha/Adam and Billy/Trini
Authors notes : Kim and Adam's characters have changed slightly, Adam is more open with his feelings and Kim never dated Tommy. I never really liked Tommy but I put him in here because I needed a death. But the rangers were good friends with him. By the way all the rangers are now about 19/20 years old.
Chapter 1
Six adults sat around a table in their favorite hangout 'The youth center'. Everyone was dressed in black and had solemn faces. There wasn't much talking but then again they needn't chat as they all knew what eachother was thinking.
It was the day of Tommy's funeral. Tommy had been killed when he had been driving back home from University to celebrate Billy and Trini's engagement. He was driven off the road by a drunk driver who had never stopped when Tommy crashed into the tree. The police hadn't yet found who it had been driving, but it was very doubtful they would as there were no witnesses. Tommy was the only one who had wanted to move away to college whilst everyone else had got into Angel Grove University.
Tommy's parents had asked for either Billy or Kimberly to give the eulogy as they had known Tommy the longest. Kim and Billy talked about it and had decided that they both should do it. They had worked days on end trying to come up with something that they knew Tommy would have liked.
"What time is it"? Kim asked for the fifth time that morning.
"Ten thirty". Someone answered.
"We'd best get going"! Billy stood and went to pay Ernie for the drinks.
All the way to the cemetery everyone was silent. They didn't know what to say to eachother to make them feel better. Kim had gone pale and Billy couldn't stop fussing with his suite.
As they followed the coffin into the church, Kim clutched Billy's hand as they had to walk in together instead of walking with Trini or Rocky as they were giving the eulogy. The ceremony was simple and nice, they sung some of the songs Tommy loved most then came the time for the eulogy. Kim and Billy stood and walked slowly to the stand.
"Thomas Oliver, was a friend to all, he was there for anyone who needed him, he was a true hero". Kim spoke her voice shaking as tears streamed down her face. "He never judged anyone, he loved to make people smile, I only wish he was here today to make us all smile". Kim broke down in tears
"I first met Tommy when he moved here with his parents over 6 years ago. Even then he made friends instantly, his smile was infectious, he brought so much happiness with him no matter where he went. He cared about everyone and everything, he was the first to think about other people before himself, he would rather undergo so much pain in order to help another, but I think the one thing that will stay with me for the rest of my life is the fact that I was so fortunate to be able to say that I was a friend of his". Billy said proudly.
"We all have separate memories of Tommy, and I know mine will be with me always, I can remember when I was feeling ill but he dragged me along to the karoke night and to cheer me up he got up and sang Always look on the brightside of life, he actually got everyone to join in, that's the thing I will always remember about him, he would make a fool of himself to make someone laugh, and he knew it but he didn't care". Kim reminisced tears streaming down her face.
"You know I think we all know Tommy would hate this, he'd want us to smile and remember him how he was not of today, if he was here now he'd be laughing at us all sat here mourning him, I think we owe him by singing the song he always sung when anyone felt sad. 'Always look on the bright side of life'". Billy said as he and Kim stepped down.
After singing the last song everyone followed the coffin out to it's final resting place, Tommy's parents had decided that everyone if so wished could throw a hand full of soil into the grave and say a little message. All the rangers had decided to throw the soil at the same time.
"Sleep well our White Tiger, we'll see you again soon". They all said as the tossed the soil. Everyone had no idea why they had called him their White Tiger but had guessed that it was his nickname.
Later that afternoon everyone had changed and had returned to the youth center. Tommy's parents had thanked Billy and Kim so much for speaking and how hard it must have been for them and that they hoped that they wouldn't stop coming round to visit them as they thought of all the gang as family been as Tommy spent most of his time with them.
"You know, Tommy would hate us for just moping around like this, he'd want us to be getting on with our lives". Trini said getting fed up with the silence.
"I think we should just get on with planning your wedding or something, Tommy would have wanted that". Kim said to Trini and Billy. All the ex rangers agreed.
So what do you think, I wasn't that cruel to Tommy was I. What did you think? Please R&R to let me what you think. I would really appreciate it.
