Chapter 6: The Reunion: Jason's Plan is Set Into Action
After the battle against Archbomber, & Trent becoming the newest member to the Dino Ranger team...they all hung out at Haley's Cyberspace for some r/r. There...Jason explained to Kira about Tommy's & Kimberly's relationship. Ever since they were at Angel Grove High, he knew quite well...that Tommy & Kimberly were in love with each other. A few years later, after Kimberly left the group & Jason joined the Zeo team as the Gold Ranger for the time being...Tommy was doing some weights on the bench press. But as soon as Tommy read a letter from Kimberly, saying that she was doing well in Florida as a Gymnast, & that she had found someone that she really liked, it completely tore him apart, or...in other words...devastated. Now...some certain years later...they were back together again. Except...things didn't go well for a couple of days. But after those battles against Zeltrax, Elsa, Mesogog, & Archbomber, Jason knew quite well that their bond was nearly impossible to separate.
Meanwhile, at the tables, a sort of unhappy Tommy Oliver was still a bit...not normal. Connor, Ethan, Kira, & Jason suddenly noticed this...& decided to have a little talk with him.
"Hey man...you ok?" asked Jason.
"Yeah, I'm fine," said Tommy, trying not to worry the others.
"Are you sure dude, because...it sure doesn't look like it," said Connor.
"Connor...what did I tell you about calling me that?" asked Tommy, knowing that word was starting to get on his nerves.
"Oh...right. Sorry Dr. O," said Connor.
"I guess that means...you're a science teacher, considering that they call you that all the time," guessed Jason.
"Yeah...you're right," said Tommy.
"You know...that just reminded me of something," said Jason.
"What?" wondered Ethan.
"Well...back then...when we were your guys' age...Kimberly invented this rule which applies to Tommy. He wasn't supposed to say the "B" word," said Jason.
"And what 'B' word was that?" asked Connor.
Jason went behind his ear & whispered the word. "Beautiful."
"So...what's wrong with saying that?" asked Connor.
"Not much. It does add a bit of amusment though. That's the reason why when Tommy was getting annoyed with you saying 'dude' at certain times, is when it brought me back to the old days," said Jason.
"I see," said Connor.
"So...who exactly got you into all this...dinosaur stuff?" asked Jason.
"That would be...her," said Ethan, pointing to Haley.
"Oh," said Jason.
"Listen...Dr. O... no offense or anything, but... you've gotten know when to lighten up," said Connor.
"Yeah, I 's right. If you keep going on like this, you might end up with a heart attack sooner or later," said Ethan.
"You guys don't understand," said Tommy.
"What is it that you don't think we understand?" asked Connor.
"You guys don't get it. Kimberly & Tommy......they've bonded together...ever since we were your guys age," said Jason.
"I see your point," said Ethan.
"No you haven't. The reason why he's been like this...is the fact that he might not be able to see her again. After the attack from that archer...& being captured by Mesogog...those things REALLY took their toll on both of them," said Jason. "Don't you guys even realize...have you ever felt worried about losing someone THAT close to you?"
"Now that you've mentioned it...I do sort of feel that way sometimes," said Ethan.
"I know what you mean. Sorry Dr. O," said Connor.
"No. You guys don't have to apologize," said Tommy. "And Jason...you've gotta try & control yourself sometimes. You don't have to go all at it on my students."
"Sorry man. I was just trying to make them see the point on how hard it can be...to not see someone you've known for so long, & then...a few years...you guys meet again &..." started Jason.
"There's no need to explain. We're just friends now," said Tommy. "Deny it all you like Tommy...but there are some things that I know that you might not even know yourself," said Haley.
"Such as..." asked Ethan.
"Guys... shut up," said Kira.
"Sorry. No need to bite our heads off," said Connor.
"As I was saying...you can deny it all you like Tommy. But...you don't have to keep blaming yourself all the time," said Haley.
"I know, but...every time Kim tries to help...it's like she thinks that she has the whole world's burden on her shoulders. She thinks it's her responsibility," said Tommy.
"Kind of reminds me of someone. Listen, Tommy...why don't you go talk this out with her. Just...try to go easy on her & not to create another argument like you did last time," said Haley.
"Wait a sec...you guys heard?" asked Tommy.
"We all heard it," said Kira.
"This has nothing to do with you three," said Tommy.
"Hey...just because they heard it doesn't mean you have to go hard on them," said Jason.
Tommy heaved a huge sigh, as though he was really troubled by something.
"Sorry guys. I guess...I guess I just need some time," said Tommy.
"Sure thing, Dr. O," said Connor.
"We understand," said Kira.
"We're sorry too, Dr. O," said Ethan.
"No. I'm the one who should apologize," said Tommy. "I shouldn't have shot off like that."
"Hey...we're all here for you, even Kim is. No matter how hard it may seem to you...you still have our support to back you up," said Jason.
"Thanks guys," said Tommy.
"Hey...what are friends for?" asked Jason.
"Speaking of which, Ethan's right about you being like this, Tommy. If you can't lighten up your mood...you might end up with a heart attack when you get older," said Haley.
"I'll try to do that, guys. Thanks," said Tommy, as he headed out the door.
"Yeah...uh...we've gotta head back & prepare for tom," said Connor.
"What do you guys have tom?" wondered Jason.
"It's called 'school'," said Ethan, emphasizing the word.
"Like I had to ask," said Jason.
"Well...see you tom. guys," said Kira.
"Later," said Jason.
As soon as the 3 teens left...Haley turned to Jason & asked, "So...you were talking with Kira about something that refers to Tommy & Kimberly, right?"
"Yeah...wait...how'd you know?" wondered Jason.
"Hey...I'm all about information. And judging by the way I saw you two talking...it seemed like you were plotting a way to get them back together," said Haley.
'Damn...isn't there anything that she doesn't know?' thought Jason, still surprised at what she knew about.
The next day... the 3 Rangers had just gotten their reports back from history class & they had one more class left...science class with Dr. O. While walking down the hallway...Ethan asked Kira, "So...what were you & Jason talking about yesterday?"
"None of your business. And besides...even if I did know...I wouldn't tell you guys," said Kira.
"Oooohh, a surprise secret," said Connor, sarcastically.
"Whatever," said Kira, looking at her watch. It was almost 2:00 p.m. "Listen...if you guys don't want to get detention for being late...I suggest we hurry up."
Connor looked at his watch & noticed she was right. "I'd hate to agree with her, but...she's right. Let's go," he said, as he broke into a run.
"Hey...wait for me," said Ethan, as he tried to catch up with Connor.
Kira sighed in annoyance as she just kept walking to class, "Boys will be boys."
As soon as the 3 teenagers arrived at Dr. Oliver's class, they could see some off the students were here. Excluding two.
"Well...at least we made it," said Connor.
"Talk about close call," said Ethan.
"Glad you three could make it," said Tommy.
"Yeah...if they paid attention to the time," said Kira.
Just then...they heard footsteps coming from the hallway on the left side. Cassidy & Devin were nearly late for as soon as they had arrived... the bell already rung.
"Sorry we're late," said Cassidy.
"We sorta got lost," said Devin. "Gee... and I thought she was organized," said Ethan.
"All right class, settle down & let's get started," said Tommy.
During the whole time, Tommy began explaining to the class about the different classes some of the dinosaurs were divided into, as well as what era some of the dinosaurs were in. After about 30 min. he gave the class a small quiz, to which the class was surprised & not surprised to hear.
"Don't worry; it's a short & easy quiz that is...if you have been listening to what I was saying. I would count it against your grade though," said Tommy. "And...you can't use your notes."
There were 10 questions on the quiz & Connor suddenly spotted 2 extra credit questions, which were 5 points each.
"Hey...check this out," whispered Connor, to Ethan as he pointed out one of the questions.
"What dinosaur was T-Rex's enemy during the Cretaceous period? That sounds familiar," said Ethan.
"Connor, Ethan...if you guys don't want a 0 on your quiz, I suggest you keep quiet & get back to work," said Tommy.
"Sorry, Dr. O," said Connor.
After about 10 min, the quizzes were done & they had to switch papers. As Tommy said the answers to the quiz, he also couldn't help but wonder...why he wasn't able to protect Kimberly from that blast. Connor suddenly noticed Tommy's changed expression & thought there was something wrong.
"Dr. O......you ok?" asked Connor.
"Huh? Oh...yeah. Sorry class, I...guess I haven't been getting as much sleep as I should," said Tommy. "Anyway...the total is out of 20. Put the total number of right answers on the paper & give them back to the owner. Then...as I call your name, tell me what your score is & I'll record it."
The process took quite a while considering that he called each of the students by first name & considering he was reading the list by last name & also that the students had to tell their scores. After about 5 minutes, the final bell rang & everyone was allowed to leave. All , Ethan, & Kira, who knew that something was wrong with Tommy.
"Dr. O...are you all right? Cause you sure don't seem like it," said Kira. "It's all right. I'm ok, really," said Tommy.
"Listen...if you're still troubled about that last battle with Archbomber, you don't have to blame yourself. I'm sure Kimberly would be able to forgive you, that is...if you can give her a chance," said Connor.
"Yeah... and besides...you're not alone you know," said Ethan.
"We're all here for you Dr. O. You know that right?" asked Kira.
Tommy heaved a sigh & said, "Yeah. Thanks guys."
"No problem," said Connor.
Just then......their communicators went off & they looked around, hoping that no one was watching. As soon as the coast was clear, they activated them.
"What's up Haley?" asked Connor.
'I need to talk to you guys about something. That excludes you, Tommy. Sorry, this involves them' said Haley.
"I understand," said Tommy.
"We better go," said Ethan.
"I'm starting to become curious as to what she's about to tell us," said Connor.
"Then, what are we standing here debating it for, let's go," said Kira.
"All right, all right," said Connor.
"She's gotta know when to calm down," said Ethan.
"I heard that," retorted Kira, who was already ahead of the group.
"Shoot, let's go," said Connor, as he realized that she was already ahead.
"Hey! Wait up!" said Ethan, as he followed right behind Connor.
As Tommy watched the 3 leave, he couldn't help but wonder, 'Why is this meeting so important that it involves only them?' Then he wondered to himself, "What are they up to?"
As soon as the 3 Rangers had received the message, they headed back to Haley's Cyberspace, where they found Haley, Trent, & Jason.
"So...what's this meeting all about?" asked Connor.
"Yeah...& sorry we cut to the chase, but... why did you call us here?" asked Ethan.
"Uh...guys...I think there's something you should know," said Kira.
"And...what would that be, may I ask?" asked Connor, starting to become curious.
"Yesterday...I was talking with Kira about Tommy's & Kimberly's relationship & how it has changed over the past few years," said Jason.
"That explains why he's saving her neck, & she's trying to save his," said Ethan.
"They've been together for...as far back as I can remember, back to Angel Grove," said Jason.
"Their commitment towards each other used to be inseparable, until she had to leave the team. Ever since she left, Tommy has been quiet about the whole thing. Knowing him, I knew he still missed her a lot," said Haley.
"They were the ones that invented Ranger love anyway. As soon as I saw her attraction to him, Zack, me, Trini, & Billy knew they were meant for each other. But...ever since Zack, Trini, & I had left in order to recruit new members as our replacements, it has been a while since Tommy & Kimberly fell in love with each other. Sometimes I wondered about them & wondered if their relationship would ever last. I got the answer when I was helping Tommy with the weights after he had been finished working on them & also... when Kimberly sent him that letter. I knew he was devastated & hurt badly. I wanted to try & help him, but I found it better if he had some time by himself," said Jason.
"So...if she & Dr. O had been tight together, why aren't things going smoothly between them?" asked Ethan.
Connor looked at Ethan as if to say, 'What in the world are you talking about dude?'
"It has been quite a while for them, ever since the accident Tommy had on the island, him getting readjusted with his Rangers powers, & Jason calling him about Kimberly & her coming back here," said Haley.
"Not to mention the talk they had downstairs," said Kira.
"Yeah...that too," said Haley.
"So...what's the point of bringing us here, anyway?" asked Connor, still not being able to get the answer that he wanted.
"I'm getting there, Mr. Impatient," said Haley.
"Anyway...I was also talking with Kira about finding a way to ..." started Jason.
"Bring them back together?" guessed Ethan.
"Yeah...and...hey......how'd you know about that?" asked Jason, surprised at how Ethan knew.
"Well...how else do you get a broken couple back together?" said Ethan.
"He's got a point though," said Connor.
"Now that we've got your attention, here's the plan. I will talk to Kimberly on trying to get her to go & have a little chat with Tommy. Connor & Ethan will talk to Tommy about some sort of surprise that's going on here & to try & coax him to bring Kimberly along. you're a singer...try & come up with some sort of a song if you can," explained Jason. "Any questions?"
"Yeah. Um...how do you know that they won't fall for this plan of yours?" asked Connor.
"Well...that's why you guys shouldn't go into too much detail," said Jason.
"Makes sense to me," said Ethan.
"Yeah... um...what am I supposed to do?" asked Trent.
The others looked at him as if saying, 'What are talking about?'
"Just kidding, just kidding. I already know what I'm supposed to do," said Trent.
"Dude, you SO were not kidding," said Ethan.
"Well...now that everything's settled, we better get to work," said Haley.
"I guess I'll see you guys soon then," said Kira.
"Sure...later Kira," said Connor.
"Later guys," replied Kira, as she headed out the door. Back at Tommy's place, Tommy was just sitting down & taking a trip down memory lane. He could still recall the battle between Archbomber & the blast that hit Kimberly from Zeltrax's attack. He also remembered all those other battles they had together. Whenever she was in trouble, he always put her before him, & the same went with her. Just as he continued to backtrack...he heard some footsteps coming from the stairs. He quickly turned around & saw Connor & Ethan coming down & breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haven't you guys heard of...knocking at the door?" asked Tommy.
"Ha, ha. Very funny Dr. O," said Connor, not amused.
"So...what's up guys?" asked Tommy. "How'd the meeting go?"
"Well...Haley just informed us that there's something going on at the Cyber café. Some sort of surprise dance going on," said Connor.
"Yeah...and...it for some...special people," said Ethan.
"Really?" wondered Tommy.
"Yeah...and...we were sort of wondering... if you were going to go out with someone," said Connor.
Tommy was silent for a while... & then asked, "What are you guys up to?"
"Nothing. We just came to tell you this information, that's all," said Ethan.
"Are you sure?" asked Tommy, trying not to act too suspicious.
"Yeah, it's a once in a lifetime experience," said Connor.
"Well...if you say so," said Tommy, & went to his dressing room trying to figure out what to wear.
Just as soon as he left...Ethan turned to Connor & asked, "Do you think Jason's plan will work?"
"I hope so. Or else Dr. O might give us a month's worth of detention," said Connor.
"Let's just hope Jason's being more successful than we are," said Ethan.
Sorry for the cliffhanger. I know it says 'Jason's Plan Is Set Into Motion.' This is just the first part of it. If I had seemed to confuse you guys with my information, I'll try to be a little bit more straightforward when I might plan to make a sequel. My deepest apologies to all you PR fans. I'm planning to put up a song on this last one, & it's becoming REALLY hard. What am I talking about? Writing a song IS hard. Anyway... my final chapter for this fic is called, "The Reunion, pt. 2: Second Chances."
R/R please.
Hey...thanks to all who reviewed. Hope you've enjoyed the story so far. This is my last & final chapter. This wasn't easy to make, as all stories or fics aren't easy. Luckily...I was able to find ways to motivate myself to keep going. Even with the reviews that I've received. I've checked all my other ones...and it seems that this one in particular...has become the best of my other fics. So...I thank you all greatly for those of you that have reviewed & enjoyed my fic. And...who knows...I might create another one.

"You guys don't understand," said Tommy.
"What is it that you don't think we understand?" asked Connor.
"You guys don't get it. Kimberly & Tommy......they've bonded together...ever since we were your guys age," said Jason.
"I see your point," said Ethan.
"No you haven't. The reason why he's been like this...is the fact that he might not be able to see her again. After the attack from that archer...& being captured by Mesogog...those things REALLY took their toll on both of them," said Jason. "Don't you guys even realize...have you ever felt worried about losing someone THAT close to you?"

"Guys... shut up," said Kira.
"Sorry. No need to bite our heads off," said Connor.

"Wait a sec...you guys heard?" asked Tommy.
"We all heard it," said Kira.
"This has nothing to do with you three," said Tommy.
"Hey...just because they heard it doesn't mean you have to go hard on them," said Jason.
Tommy heaved a huge sigh, as though he was really troubled by something.
"Sorry guys. I guess...I guess I just need some time," said Tommy.
"Sure thing, Dr. O," said Connor.
"We understand," said Kira.
"We're sorry too, Dr. O," said Ethan.
"No. I'm the one who should apologize," said Tommy. "I shouldn't have shot off like that."
"Hey...we're all here for you, even Kim is. No matter how hard it may seem to you...you still have our support to back you up," said Jason.
"Thanks guys," said Tommy.
"Hey...what are friends for?" asked Jason.
"Speaking of which, Ethan's right about you being like this, Tommy. If you can't lighten up your mood...you might end up with a heart attack when you get older," said Haley.
"I'll try to do that, guys. Thanks," said Tommy, as he headed out the door.
"Yeah...uh...we've gotta head back & prepare for tom," said Connor.
"What do you guys have tom?" wondered Jason.
"It's called 'school'," said Ethan, emphasizing the word.

Kira sighed in annoyance as she just kept walking to class, "Boys will be boys."
As soon as the 3 teenagers arrived at Dr. Oliver's class, they could see some off the students were here. Excluding two.
"Well...at least we made it," said Connor.
"Talk about close call," said Ethan.
"Glad you three could make it," said Tommy.
"Yeah...if they paid attention to the time," said Kira.
Just then...they heard footsteps coming from the hallway on the left side. Cassidy & Devin were nearly late for as soon as they had arrived... the bell already rung.
"Sorry we're late," said Cassidy.
"We sorta got lost," said Devin. "Gee... and I thought she was organized," said Ethan.
"All right class, settle down & let's get started," said Tommy.
During the whole time, Tommy began explaining to the class about the different classes some of the dinosaurs were divided into, as well as what era some of the dinosaurs were in. After about 30 min. he gave the class a small quiz, to which the class was surprised & not surprised to hear.

"Listen...if you're still troubled about that last battle with Archbomber, you don't have to blame yourself. I'm sure Kimberly would be able to forgive you, that is...if you can give her a chance," said Connor.

'I need to talk to you guys about something. That excludes you, Tommy. Sorry, this involves them' said Haley.

"Uh...guys...I think there's something you should know," said Kira.
"And...what would that be, may I ask?" asked Connor, starting to become curious.
"Yesterday...I was talking with Kira about Tommy's & Kimberly's relationship & how it has changed over the past few years," said Jason.
"That explains why he's saving her neck, & she's trying to save his," said Ethan.
"They've been together for...as far back as I can remember, back to Angel Grove," said Jason.
"Their commitment towards each other used to be inseparable, until she had to leave the team. Ever since she left, Tommy has been quiet about the whole thing. Knowing him, I knew he still missed her a lot," said Haley.
"They were the ones that invented Ranger love anyway. As soon as I saw her attraction to him, Zack, me, Trini, & Billy knew they were meant for each other. But...ever since Zack, Trini, & I had left in order to recruit new members as our replacements, it has been a while since Tommy & Kimberly fell in love with each other. Sometimes I wondered about them & wondered if their relationship would ever last. I got the answer when I was helping Tommy with the weights after he had been finished working on them & also... when Kimberly sent him that letter. I knew he was devastated & hurt badly. I wanted to try & help him, but I found it better if he had some time by himself," said Jason.
"So...if she & Dr. O had been tight together, why aren't things going smoothly between them?" asked Ethan.
Connor looked at Ethan as if to say, 'What in the world are you talking about dude?'
"It has been quite a while for them, ever since the accident Tommy had on the island, him getting readjusted with his Rangers powers, & Jason calling him about Kimberly & her coming back here," said Haley.
"Not to mention the talk they had downstairs," said Kira.
"Yeah...that too," said Haley.
"So...what's the point of bringing us here, anyway?" asked Connor, still not being able to get the answer that he wanted.
"I'm getting there, Mr. Impatient," said Haley.
"Anyway...I was also talking with Kira about finding a way to ..." started Jason.
"Bring them back together?" guessed Ethan.
"Yeah...and...hey......how'd you know about that?" asked Jason, surprised at how Ethan knew.
"Well...how else do you get a broken couple back together?" said Ethan.
"He's got a point though," said Connor.
"Now that we've got your attention, here's the plan. I will talk to Kimberly on trying to get her to go & have a little chat with Tommy. Connor & Ethan will talk to Tommy about some sort of surprise that's going on here & to try & coax him to bring Kimberly along. you're a singer...try & come up with some sort of a song if you can," explained Jason. "Any questions?"
"Yeah. Um...how do you know that they won't fall for this plan of yours?" asked Connor.
"Well...that's why you guys shouldn't go into too much detail," said Jason.
"Makes sense to me," said Ethan.
"Yeah... um...what am I supposed to do?" asked Trent.
The others looked at him as if saying, 'What are talking about?'
"Just kidding, just kidding. I already know what I'm supposed to do," said Trent.
"Dude, you SO were not kidding," said Ethan.
"Well...now that everything's settled, we better get to work," said Haley.
"I guess I'll see you guys soon then," said Kira.
"Sure...later Kira," said Connor.
"Later guys," replied Kira, as she headed out the door. Back at Tommy's place, Tommy was just sitting down & taking a trip down memory lane. He could still recall the battle between Archbomber & the blast that hit Kimberly from Zeltrax's attack. He also remembered all those other battles they had together. Whenever she was in trouble, he always put her before him, & the same went with her. Just as he continued to backtrack...he heard some footsteps coming from the stairs. He quickly turned around & saw Connor & Ethan coming down & breathed a sigh of relief.
"Haven't you guys heard of...knocking at the door?" asked Tommy.
"Ha, ha. Very funny Dr. O," said Connor, not amused.
"So...what's up guys?" asked Tommy. "How'd the meeting go?"
"Well...Haley just informed us that there's something going on at the Cyber café. Some sort of surprise dance going on," said Connor.
"Yeah...and...it for some...special people," said Ethan.
"Really?" wondered Tommy.
"Yeah...and...we were sort of wondering... if you were going to go out with someone," said Connor.
Tommy was silent for a while... & then asked, "What are you guys up to?"
"Nothing. We just came to tell you this information, that's all," said Ethan.
"Are you sure?" asked Tommy, trying not to act too suspicious.
"Yeah, it's a once in a lifetime experience," said Connor.
"Well...if you say so," said Tommy, & went to his dressing room trying to figure out what to wear.
Just as soon as he left...Ethan turned to Connor & asked, "Do you think Jason's plan will work?"
"I hope so. Or else Dr. O might give us a month's worth of detention," said Connor.
"Let's just hope Jason's being more successful than we are," said Ethan.
Sorry for the cliffhanger. I know it says 'Jason's Plan Is Set Into Motion.' This is just the first part of it. If I had seemed to confuse you guys with my information, I'll try to be a little bit more straightforward when I might plan to make a sequel. My deepest apologies to all you PR fans. I'm planning to put up a song on this last one, & it's becoming REALLY hard. What am I talking about? Writing a song IS hard. Anyway... my final chapter for this fic is called, "The Reunion, pt. 2: Second Chances."
R/R please.
