Chapter Seven

Tommy sat hunched over at their old ranger table watching his oldest friends dance beneath the twinkling lights of the disco ball. Aisha and Rocky were lost in each other eyes, both smiling like a pair of love struck teenagers. Billy and Kat had retreated to the farthest corner of the dance floor moving slowly to the music, finally looking comfortable in each other's embrace. Adam and Tanya were giggling and whispering into each other's ears, something about Rocky and Aisha. Tommy's eyes slowly made their way over to Kim and Jason. She had her head resting on Jason's chest while he had his chin resting upon her head. He could remember dancing with Kimberly that way. If he closed his eyes, Tommy could imagine a whole dance with Kim. Right down to how her hair smelled of Herbal Essences.

Tommy had fought back the urge to hit something when he had witnessed them kiss. It was in no way a kiss that a pair of friends would share. He wanted to kill Jason, yet at the same time he wanted to wish his friend congradulations. He knew that no harm would come to Kim with Jason there. She would be safe and happy.

Happiness.

That's what he wanted for her, right? To be happy, even if it was in the arms of another man. Tommy cursed himself for believing that fateful letter. He should have gone down to Florida and demand to know what was really wrong. But again it was her happiness that had stopped him. As long as Kimberly was happy. However, he still planned on a long talk with Jason. Perhaps they could spar. Tommy turned to leave, he had experienced enough heartache for a night. Just as he was reaching for his jacket, a small hand grabbed his.

Tommy turned to see Kimberly before him. Her face was a glow with joy and her smile made him want to melt.

"Will you give the birthday girl the honor of a dance?" she asked breathlessly.

"Sure beautiful" he said after a moment of hesitation. She swiftly turned and led him out to the dance floor. As Tommy wrapped his arms around Kim he noticed Jason was talking with Zach, laughter could be heard as the two men playfully punched each other.

Kim noticed that Tommy was watching Jason. The last thing Kim wanted to do was tear the two men's friendship apart. She had asked Tommy to dance so she could talk with him.

"You love him, don't you?" Tommy's voice startled out of her thoughts.

"Yes"

"Are you happy?"

"The happiest I have been in awhile." Kim told him honestly. "I'm sorry Tommy"

Tommy pulled her back a little so he could see her face and look into her doe brown eyes. Tears were beginning to well up.

"I'm sorry for hurting you like I have, I'm sorry for…" Tommy shushed her with two fingers.

"You don't have to be sorry about anything. Not for the letter or loving Jason. It happens, and I will learn to deal with it. I just want you and Jason to be happy and I wish you all the best. I want to keep our friendship."

Kim reached up and hugged him tight to her. Thankful that he was such a good friend and person. Thankful, that he was willing to let the past go. Kim smile when she realized what song was playing over head.

Everyone has something that had to leave behind

One regret from yesterday that just seems to grow with time…

Tommy almost laughed at the thought of how much this one song put their time together in words. He didn't even know the name of the group, yet he was thankful to them all the same. Tommy felt content with Kim's body pressed against his, both moving in a soft sway. He wished that this moment could go on forever.

I never had a dream come true,

Until the day that I found you.

Even though I pretend that I've moved on,

Apart of you will always be with me.

Before Tommy knew it the song had ended. Stopping that dance was the last thing Tommy wanted to do. Kim turned her face up to him. He was surprised to find her liquid brown eyes filling over with tears.

"I will always remember the time that we shared." With that said, Kim pulled him down to her height and kissed his forehead, then turned to the juice bar where Ernie was waiting with a smoothie.

Jason watched the episode calmly, glad that Tommy was making it easy for Kim. He just wondered if Tommy was going to be so easy on him. Jason dreaded the meeting that lay ahead of him. Jason was brought out of his revere when Kim wrapped her arms around him bringing her lips to his. It was minutes before either of them pulled away.

"Maybe a strawberry peach smoothie isn't all that bad," Jason said with a smirk.

"Oh you!"

Jason and Kim looked up when Zach began chatting for a game of 'truth or dare'. The couple quickly joined the group. As everyone began to form a circle, Jason took a seat on the floor. Kim was soon in front of him, leaning her back and head against his strong chest.

During the length of the game, Rocky excepted the only dares, Billy blushed a deep red when asked about the time he and Kim switched bodies. The group took a trip down memory lane, laughing hysterically.

Tommy laughed just as hard as anyone else. He truly was beginning to enjoy himself. He stole a glance in Kim's direction only to find that she had fallen asleep against Jason.

"Hey Jase" Tommy called to him. "Why don't you get sleeping beauty home to her bed." He said when Jason looked his way.

Jason gracefully pulled himself to his feet and lifted the slumbering former pink ranger into his arms. Tommy followed behind Jason and Kim, moving ahead only to open doors for Jason.

Once Jason had Kimberly in the truck, Tommy turned to walk away.

"I'll see you at the dojo tomorrow morning at eight" was all Tommy said as he walked back into the transformed youth center.
