I Will Remember You:
Hey...thanks to all who reviewed. If any of you guys have read my little notice, I am sorry for the confusion. I sorta made a few mistakes on the info from my previous chapter. This one right here...is the final chapter. And...as for the song that I think would probably fit with this chapter, I've finished it. It is called "Be there for you". It took me a few days to do it, because...one, when writing your own song, you've first gotta try to find the right rhythm or beat for your song. In other words, try to create one. Second, when you write your lyrics for the song, it should have some meaning into it. Otherwise...it wouldn't make sense at all. But hey...I tried my best. But...that's for you guys to decide. And...it is possible that I might make a sequel to it someday. So...for all who have reviewed...thank you very much.
Disclaimer: Yami Kero doesn't own PR or any of the characters. It belongs to Saban. He DOES own the song "Be there for you", because...duh...he wrote it.
Enjoy!
Chapter 7: The Reunion pt. 2: "Second Chances."
While Connor & Ethan were waiting for Dr. Tommy Oliver at his place, Jason...as he said during his plan, went to search for Kimberly. He suddenly spotted her taking a walk through the woods. Trying his best as to not startle her, he slowly but carefully walked through the woods, trying not to make too much noise & hopefully...not making any branches snap.
Unfortunately...Kimberly heard footsteps following her & whirled around to see who it was. By the time she did & looked around...there was no one there. 'Your just seeing things, Kim. Nothing to worry about,' she thought to herself & continued walking down. But by the time she did, Jason appeared from one of the trees, causing Kimberly to stumble back in surprise & fall back.
"Jason......... jeez...you nearly scared the heck out of me," said Kimberly, surprised at the way he made his entrance.
"He he. Sorry, I should've let you known first," said Jason, chuckling.
"Yeah...you should," replied Kimberly. "Why were you following me?"
"Just came to tell you that there's something going on at Haley's Cyberspace. It's like some sort of dance or something," said Jason.
"You mean...sorta like a prom, right?" guessed Kimberly.
"Yeah...I guess you could say that," said Jason.
"Is that all you came to tell me?" asked Kimberly.
"I suppose. Speaking of which...I heard from the others that Tommy going as well," said Jason. "So...I don't know...I was thinking that..."
"You were thinking that I might go ask him. Is that right?" asked Kimberly.
"Well...he nearly save your behind many times, didn't he?" asked Jason.
It was true. Tommy always tried his best to be there for her. He also managed to try to save her on countless occasions. Especially since the recent battle, except now...she was just trying to help & he was trying to keep her out of harm.
"Yeah...I guess that's true," said Kimberly.
"If you're planning on going, I suggest you talk to him first," said Jason.
"He's probably going to blame me again for causing problems," said Kimberly.
"You...causing problems......I think you've got it the other way around. He thinks he's causing the problems," said Jason.
Kimberly sighed as she said, "That big old goof. Always trying to impress me. Then again...he DID seem a bit sad though."
"It's because he worries about you, just like you worry about him & vice versa. It's obvious," said Jason.
"Come on, Jase. That was years ago," said Kimberly.
"Deny it all you want. You two can argue about it for years for all I care & He knows you will. But as far as I can tell...I know there's a part of you that still cares for him. The same way with Tommy. Why can't you just accept the fact that you still love him? Besides...me & others have noticed it ever since he first came to Angel Grove High all those years ago," said Jason. "Couldn't you find it in your heart to give him another chance?"
Kimberly was silent for a while. She knew quite well that she still had that same feeling for him. Ever since she got attacked, he always tried to help her out any way she could. Always looking out for her, like she did for him. They were both protective of each other. And she could still feel a sort of link with him. Even if she did deny her feelings, that just made them even stronger. And she knew that the more she fought it, the more powerful & painful it became.
"You can hide it all you want...but I know that there's a part of you that will always love him. Besides...if you kept it inside you any longer...you're going to end up real sick," Jason said, trying to act again as the Big Brother.
Kimberly sighed in defeat, knowing Jason was right. "All right, Jason. You win this one. But if you're joking about this... I will seriously hunt you down & give you a piece of my mind," she said, holding a clenched fist.
"Ok, ok. I get it," said Jason, trying not to get the best of her.
"Ah...two for flinching," said Kimberly, giving Jason a playful punch on his right arm.
"Hey......all right. That's it," said Jason, who was about to chase Kimberly around the woods.
"Hey...I was just playing. Can't you at least lighten up?" laughed Kimberly, trying to evade Jason.
"Not if it's on me," said Jason, as he continued chasing her.
After a few more minutes of chasing, Jason finally caught up with her & began a tickle attack which lasted for 3 minutes until Kimberly finally gave in.
"Ok, ok. I'll go, I'll go. Happy?" asked Kimberly, gasping for breath after all that tickling.
"Yeah. I'm heading for Haley's Cyberspace to meet the others. Where are you staying at, anyway?" asked Jason.
"I was thinking of staying at Tommy's for a while," said Kimberly.
"Hopefully, you two will be able to sort things out," said Jason, as he headed for Haley's Cyberspace.
"Yeah...hopefully," said Kimberly, as she headed to Tommy's house.
As Jason began heading for Haley's to meet the other guys, he suddenly thought to himself smiling, 'I am just one sly fox.'
Meanwhile...Connor & the others were hanging out at Haley's Cyberspace, not knowing that Haley was overhearing their conversation. There were a lot of teenagers hanging around. Trent...on one hand found it a bit interesting about Tommy & Kimberly's relationship, considering that Haley told him. On the other hand, it also gave him a chance to get Connor back, after all those times when he felt that he was acting suspicious.
"Connor...haven't you & Kira been...you know...going out lately?" asked Trent.
"Say what? You're not serious," said Ethan, a bit surprised.
"I know what you're thinking Trent, and you're wrong. Yes...I've tried asking her out.........once. No......it is not what you think it is. Not the way that you're thinking," said Connor, knowing where this was going.
"But it's true. I've seen the way you look at her," said Trent, trying to suppress a sly smile on his face.
"Trent...would you just cut it out? I told you already it is not like that," said Connor, beginning to get annoyed.
"Jeez, Connor...you've gotta learn when to not take things so seriously & lighten up," answered Kira, strumming up her guitar & trying to work on a song.
"So...how's the song coming along Kira?" asked Haley.
"Well...it's going ok. But...I'm still trying to convey the emotion within it," said Kira.
"Hey...that's just like writing poetry," said Ethan.
"Yeah, that's because they nearly share the same point," said Connor.
Back at Tommy's house...Tommy had already figure out what suit to wear on such an occasion & was down below his research facility below his house, which resembled an ancient ruin civilization. What he didn't know was that someone had already entered in without him noticing. Guessing it was Kimberly, he tried to keep himself busy by keeping a look out for Mesogog & his creeps. Unfortunately, it wasn't enough for Kimberly to notice, unaware to Tommy, that she already found her way through in finding his secret hiding place.
"I had a feeling that I'd find you here, Tommy Oliver," said Kimberly, a few feet away from Tommy.
Tommy made a surprised smile while being alert & checking the monitors for anything suspicious.
"I'd say it was nothing more than a lucky guess," said Tommy.
"Actually...if I recall correctly...you're the one that showed me the way down," said Kimberly.
Tommy suddenly felt himself blush as he remembered her coming down. "Not quite. Haley actually was the one that told you where I was & showed you the way down," answered Tommy.
"Oh yeah. I almost forgot," said Kimberly. "By the way...the reason why I came down here was to..."
"To come here & apologize. I'm correct, am I not?" asked Tommy.
"Seems like someone's been doing their homework," answered Kimberly. "And before you continue any further...I just wanted to say I'm sorry for the way I acted and I shouldn't have run off on you like that."
"And I'm sorry for the way I acted. I shouldn't have yelled at you like that. I guess I was acting like such a complete jerk," said Tommy, suddenly looking down.
"Don't blame yourself, Tommy. I was the one responsible," said Kimberly.
"Yeah but...I was the one responsible for trying to make sure you weren't hurt," said Tommy.
Kimberly couldn't help but chuckle at what Tommy just said. "There you go. There you go, always trying to act like you're the hero."
"Well...how many times have I saved your behind all those years past?" asked Tommy.
"Not that much really," said Kimberly.
"Wrong answer," said Tommy & suddenly started to tickle Kimberly.
She tried her best to evade; unfortunately...it wasn't fast enough. The two kept laughing & rolling around, while Tommy continued his tickling attack, while Kimberly was rendered helpless against Tommy's assault.
"Give up?" asked Tommy.
"Ha, ha, ha, ha, ha. You wish," said Kimberly, giggling & trying to resist his ticklish playing.
Unfortunately for her, Tommy already knew all her ticklish spots & began attacking each one, causing Kimberly to suddenly become pinned down & rolling with laughter. After a few more minutes, Tommy was on top of her & obviously had the upper hand in the tickling attack.
"Give up now Beautiful?" asked Tommy, suddenly saying her nickname.
"Ok. All right, ha, ha, ha, I give up. Enough please, ha, ha, ha, ha," pleaded Kimberly, suddenly begging for Tommy to quit the tickling attack.
"Say 'uncle'," said Tommy, still continuing his tickling game.
"Ok. Ha, ha, ha. Uncle, ha, ha, ha. Uncle, uncle. UNCLE" screamed Kimberly, suddenly starting to run out of breath.
"Fair enough," said Tommy, simply & stopped tickling Kimberly.
"What exactly did I tell you of calling me that?" asked Kimberly.
"That was old past, Beautiful. This is different," said Tommy.
Kimberly couldn't help but blush whenever Tommy called her by her nickname. It had been a long time since he said that to her. Now...since they're back together, a lot of things have changed for the two.
"So...can you forgive me?" asked Kimberly, still gasping for breath.
"Yeah. Apology accepted," replied Tommy, also trying to catch his breath.
Just then...the monitors began beeping, indicating that it was either an enemy attack alert or a video message was being sent. Tommy happened to have heard it after he & Kimberly were done playing around. He quickly got up & headed to the monitors, only to be surprised to be greeted by an old friend with glasses. Kimberly was right behind him, also wearing the same surprised expression as her ex.
"Hey Billy," said Tommy.
"Hey Tommy, Kimberly," replied Billy. "How are things working out between you two?"
"Things are going ok," said Tommy. "How are things with you at Aquatar?"
"It's going well. As a matter of fact...I've decided to stay here," answered the genius.
"Why?" asked Kimberly.
"Well...considering that if something were to go wrong, like a malfunction or something, I could go & see what the problem is and..." started Billy.
"Try to fix the problem. Makes perfect sense," said Tommy.
"But I thought you weren't used to being underwater," said Kimberly, remembering Billy's fear of fish & being underwater.
"Actually...I've been trying to get over that fear for some time," chuckled the genius, who didn't even noticed that he was blushing.
"Oh...and Tommy's the Black Ranger in his team," Kimberly said, suddenly bringing up the subject out of nowhere.
"I see. It has been a long time since you got back to being a Ranger. Congratulations. How long has it been?" asked Billy.
"Thanks a lot. It has been quite a while since I've gotten my powers back. But now...I'm getting the hang of it," said Tommy.
"You haven't been actually...you know...falling for one of them have you?"
Billy's expression suddenly turned to shock, & then to embarrassment. He slightly nodded sheepishly. Meaning that it was true.
"That's ok, man. We won't tell anyone," said Tommy.
"Thanks. I'd appreciate it if you didn't," answered Billy. "Oh...by the way Kim...congratulations on getting your powers back."
"Thanks Billy. It means a lot to me," replied Kimberly. "Oh...Tommy has also been training some new Ranger recruits."
"Really?" asked Billy, surprised.
'Why did you have to bring that up Beautiful?' thought Tommy.
"How did that happen?" asked Billy.
Just then...Tommy began explaining to him about his experiments with Anton Mercer, one of his partners in his dinosaur project, and Smitty, Anton's assistant. Just as they were completing some of their projects, they got attacked, the research destroyed, as well as the island. He barely made it out alive, until 3 of his students discovered the Dino gems, & in doing so...he had to teach them all he knew.
"Oh...that reminds me, Jason is also with us," said Tommy.
"He told me that he was going to the cyber café for some r/r," answered Kimberly.
"I see. He also got his back as well huh?" guessed the genius.
"Wait...how'd you know about that?" asked Tommy, surprised at how much the genius knew.
"Let's just say...it was a coincidence. If Kimberly got hers back, then it is obvious to me that Jason also got his back. Tell him I said congratulations," said Billy.
"Sure. Will do," said Tommy.
"It was good to see you again, Billy," said Kimberly.
"Likewise. I really miss talking with you guys," said Billy.
"Yeah, I know how that feels," said Tommy.
"Bye guys. And may the Power protect you both & Jason as well," said Billy.
"Same with you man," replied Tommy, just as the monitors went back to their original state.
Meanwhile...back at Haley's Cyberspace...Haley was discussing with Trent, the plan that Jason had told the other 3 Rangers. While they were talking, the door suddenly flew open & in came Jason, looking a bit exhausted.
"Jason...Are you all right? It's like you ran 5 miles nonstop," said Haley.
"Sorry I'm late. Got kind of lost," said Jason.
"Well...why didn't you call us? I'm sure Haley would've given you directions," said Kira.
"It was 6:30 p.m. at night. How can I find a pay phone if it is THAT dark?" retorted Jason.
"No need to get your shoes all caught up in a knot. We already did our part," said Ethan.
"You want something to drink Jason?" asked Haley.
"Yeah, sure. What do you got?" asked Jason, taking a seat with the others.
"How about some soda?" Haley asked.
"That'll be fine, thanks," answered Jason.
"Your welcome," replied Haley.
Jason suddenly noticed Trent, sitting by the others. He could easily recognize him because Tommy told the story about him & how Anton Mercer took him in as his own son.
"You must be Trent, son of Anton Mercer." Jason quickly noticed.
"Yeah. I am. Pleased to meet you. Haley told me about your plan to get you-know-who & you-know-who back together again," said Trent, shaking hands with the older leader of the Power Rangers.
"Haley...you didn't go into too much detail did you?" asked Jason.
"No...I didn't. Just summarized what you told them," answered Haley, getting Jason's soda.
After that quick chat, Jason turned his attention back to Connor & Ethan & asked, "So...did Tommy take the bait?"
"Did his girl take yours?" asked Ethan.
"Dude, you gotta stop acting like that," said Connor.
"Hey...I'm just trying to state the obvious," retorted Ethan.
"Answer my question...did he take it our not?" demanded Jason, trying to keep his voice down.
Connor sighed & answered, "Yes. Now...did Kimberly take your bait?"
"Yeah. Although it took a little persuasion in order to do so," said Jason.
"Here's your soda Jason," said Haley.
"Thanks," answered Jason.
"No problem," replied Haley.
"What do you mean?" asked Connor.
"What do you think Tommy would have done in order to persuade Kimberly?" asked Jason, trying to quiz them, taking a sip of his soda.
"Try a tickle attack?" guessed Ethan.
"Wow...really smart Sherlock. Did you figure that one out all by yourself or did someone tell you?" joked Connor.
"He's obviously right about that," said Jason. "Hey Kira...how's the song coming along?"
"It's going well. Why do you ask?" wondered Kira.
"Because in approximately..." Jason checked his watch. "1 hour and 10 min. they're going to be here," replied Jason.
"She's has tons of time to string up her guitar," said Connor.
"Yeah but...we don't have enough time to get the stuff ready. So...let's go," said Haley, trying to persuade the other 4 to help out.
"Sure thing, Haley. I'll go get the drinks ready," said Trent.
"I'll take care of the tables," said Connor, rearranging them & putting some of the remaining ones away.
"I'll go take care of the cleaning up," said Ethan.
"And I'll go help Kira with her music," replied Jason.
Ethan suddenly turned back & asked, "You know how to write music?"
"No...but I can help with lyric editing," answered back Jason.
As things began getting underway at Haley's Cyberspace...Tommy & Kimberly were getting ready as well back at Tommy's house. Of course...if they could sort out a few things first. Kimberly was wearing a silk pink dress & a small pink silk skirt with pink high heels. It sort of reminded Tommy of the Ninja Ranger suit that she wore, considering that it brought him back to old times. As soon as Kimberly was done getting ready, she asked Tommy, "So...how do I look? Not too flashy I hope."
"No. I think you look absolutely gorgeous, Beautiful," answered Tommy, trying not to impress her too much with his sweet talk.
Kimberly couldn't help but blush every time he said her nickname.
Tommy chuckled at Kimberly's reaction once he said her nickname & asked, "Shall we go?"
"But of course," replied Kimberly, taking his hand, as they headed to Haley's Cyberspace.
Meanwhile...back at Haley's, the group had finally finished the preparations & went to their assigned stations. Connor & Ethan were sitting down talking, while doing some homework, Kira & her band, they were just waiting in a certain area beside the stage. As soon as the couple arrived, they noticed that it looked a bit deserted at first. Kimberly noticed that some of the guys were missing. Tommy just wanted to know what was going on. But just as if his question was answered, they spotted a table in the middle of the room, with a lit candle on it, as well as two chairs, meaning that it was meant for them. And just as they passed by, they both saw Connor & Ethan, just conversing & doing their work.
"What's going on?" wondered Kimberly.
"I'm not sure," answered Tommy.
"Do you guys know what's going on?" Kimberly asked the two.
"No, we just got here a few minutes ago," replied the duo.
Kimberly rolled her eyes back to the table and said, "Ooookaayy."
Just then...Haley was waiting at the counter, ready to serve the two.
"Hey guys, what can I get ya?" she asked.
"Uh...Haley...do you know what's going on here?" asked Tommy.
"Uh...no. Why?" asked Haley.
"Connor & Ethan said that there was something going on down here," answered Tommy.
"Really?" asked Haley, trying her best not to give any clues.
"Haley...seriously, what is going on here?" asked Tommy.
"Why don't you just be patient & you'll find out soon," said a voice.
The two turned around to see Jason, leaning back against the wall, waiting in the dark. Once he came out, Tommy was really starting to get annoyed with the superstition.
"Jason...what are you doing here? And where are the others?" asked Tommy, starting to get confused.
"Don't worry, they'll be here. You guys want anything to drink?" asked Jason.
"I don't mind a latté," answered Kimberly.
"Make that two," replied Tommy.
"Sure thing," said Jason. "Hey, Trent..."
"Yeah?" answered Trent, from behind the counter.
"Two lattés man," replied Jason.
"No problem," said Trent, and went to get them ready.
While they were waiting, Tommy asked Jason again, "Seriously man, what exactly is going on here?"
"Well...I figured that since it has been a long time since you two have seen each other & that things weren't going well at first between you two, I thought you guys could use some quality time together & mend up a few things," said Jason. 'Talk about too close for comfort.' Jason thought to himself.
"I see," replied Tommy. "If this is your idea of a joke, it's not funny."
"Who said I was making it up?" asked Jason.
"Look, all we heard from Connor & Ethan is that something was going on down here," said Tommy.
"Really? Those guys must have had their ears clogged or something, cause I've only heard slight rumors. But...then again...I might be wrong," said Jason.
"What is going on Jason?" asked Kimberly.
"Don't worry. Just sit back, relax, & everything will be revealed to you guys in due time," said Jason, trying to act all wise.
Kimberly sighed in defeat, knowing that it could go on for a while. "All right. But don't pull any fast ones, you hear?"
"Don't worry. I'm not pulling anything," answered Jason.
"Here's your two lattés guys," said Trent, coming back with them.
"Thanks Trent," said Tommy, taking it from him.
"No problem, Dr. O," answered Trent.
"So...who actually made you get into all this dinosaur stuff anyway?" asked Kimberly.
"That would be Haley," replied Tommy, pointing to her at the counter.
"You know...those DinoZords...they sorta..." started Kimberly.
"Bring back old times, huh?" guessed Tommy.
"You just took the words right out of my mouth," said Kimberly.
Tommy chuckled as he said, "It was quite obvious. I sometimes look at these guys and think 'Reminds me of the day I joined the others in their fight against Rita.'"
"It has been quite a while since you became a Ranger again," said Kimberly.
"Yeah, it has," said Tommy.
"So...the one who served us the drinks...the one called Trent, why does he even work here, late at night? Doesn't he have any parents or someone?" asked Kimberly.
"Oh...Trent. He does. But..." started Tommy.
"But what?" wondered Kimberly.
"Its just...he told that his original parents died in some sort of accident. A few years later...Anton Mercer took him in as his own son," explained Tommy.
"Oh...the poor thing. It must be hard," said Kimberly, with sincerity.
"Yeah it is. But then...something weird happened. Somehow...he stumbled across a Dino gem, but it had been tampered with & that is when you & Jason saw us battle him," continued Tommy.
"But...how could it have been tampered with?" wondered Kimberly.
"My only guess is...that one of Mesogog's creeps found it first & used it for their own purpose. That is when Trent discovered it somehow & it made him turn evil. But then...days later...he came back...& fought on our side, & destroyed Mesogog's monster. He also saved my life," finished Tommy.
"Wait a sec...you mean he's..." started Kimberly, suddenly shocked at the news.
"Yup. He's one of us now," said Tommy.
"But...how did he break the evil grip?" asked Kimberly.
"Well...back when I was in his position, you & the others never gave up on me. So...we did the same with Trent. I guess I could say......he figured it out on his own," replied Tommy.
While the two talked, Jason suddenly gave the nod to Kira & her band that it was time to perform.
Just as they took their sip of the latté, Kira appeared with her band. Kimberly was surprised to see her & wondered why she was here. To Tommy...it sort of seemed obvious that she wanted to perform for both of them.
"I'm glad you two could make it. I know it has been hard for both of you to try & mend a few things. And I also know of how close you two used to be. So...I wrote up a song...with the help of Jason & the others & decided to dedicate it...to the both of you. So...I hope you like it," said Kira, as she began to strum up her guitar.
As the beautiful sound of music began to fill up the room, Tommy turned to Kimberly & couldn't help but ask, "May I have this dance?"
"Yes...you may," replied Kimberly, taking his hand.
When life seems to bring you down
And you feel like you can't continue on...
Just call my name
And I'll be there...to help you along the way.
There are times when fear begins to take its toll
And doubt begins to take a hold on you
Just look deep in yourself
To find the courage within...to face your fears...
And if there's one thing you should know...
Is that you should know that you're not alone because...
Your friends are always with you till the end
They are always by your side
Throughout the thick & thin
As Kira continued singing, & Tommy & Kimberly continued to sway with the music... Ethan turned to Connor & asked, "Don't you think Kira's a good songwriter?"
"Yeah. I mean...when she began singing that song..." started Connor.
"You suddenly got lost in it," replied a voice.
The duo suddenly noticed Trent, taking a seat beside them, listening to Kira singing, while watching Tommy & Kimberly dance to the music.
"Trent...I suppose your done with your work," said Connor.
"As a matter of fact...you're right," said Trent.
When things start to get out of control
And you're unsure of what to do
You should always know...
That your friends will always be there...they will always be there, be there for you.
When you feel lost & all alone...
And darkness begins to close all around you,
Just keep believing...that you will make it through
And soon you will find...the light to guide you on your way.
And if the going gets tough...and your fear & doubts cloud your mind
You should know your friends are with you...with you through it all because...
Your friends are always with you till the end
They are always by your side
Throughout the thick & thin
When things start to get out of control
And you're unsure of what to do
You should always know...
That your friends will always be there...they will always be there, be there for you.
Friends stick together,
And never gives up hope
They always stay with you through the good times & the bad
And through the most difficult times
And if there's one thing that's for sure... is that they are with you through it all......
Because that's what friends are for.
While Tommy & Kimberly continued swaying to the music, he asked Kimberly, "Haven't I always said...that you always look pretty, even under the light, Beautiful?"
Kimberly turned red a bit, once Tommy said her nickname again, smiled & said, "Always, my Knight."
Now it was Tommy's turn to blush, considering that it was rare for her to say his nickname. While they were slow dancing under the light, Connor took out a small hankerchief & wiped the tears coming from his eyes. Ethan suddenly noticed it and asked, "Dude, you ok?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Just emotional, that's all," said Connor, sniffling, & trying to stem the flow.
"Hey...it happens to all of us. They usually say it is better to let it out than keep it all inside," said Trent.
"Guys...I'm fine, really," said Connor, wiping the tears from his eyes.
Your friends are always with you till the end
They are always by your side
Throughout the thick & thin
When things start to get out of control
And you're unsure of what to do
You should always know...
That your friends will always be there...they will always be there, be there for you.
And no matter the distance between and no matter how far apart...
Is that they'll always be there, always be there......always be there.........be there for you.
As Kira finished the song, Connor & the others applauded loudly, considering that they found it to be excellent. Tommy & Kimberly couldn't help but join in, considering that they were impressed. As Kira & her band took a bow, Kimberly turned to Tommy & asked, "Tommy...you've always known that I loved you, right?"
"Of course. I've always felt the same way, even though you were far away, I never stopped thinking about you," said Tommy.
"I love you so much, Tommy," said Kimberly, tears coming from her eyes.
"Me too, Beautiful. Me too," replied Tommy.
As the two locked lips, Connor couldn't help but try & hold back the tears. Ethan noticed again & asked, "Dude...is it really that emotional?"
"Dude, you've gotta watch some drama movies man. Then you'll get the meaning of emotional," said Connor, wiping the tears off his face.
"I'm glad you two were able to sort things out," said Jason.
As the two turned to Jason, suddenly Tommy figured out the whole thing.
"Wait a second...this whole thing was just to bring us back together?!" guessed Tommy.
"Uh-oh. I think we've been found out," said Ethan, preparing to run out.
"Hold it you two," said Tommy, halting them in their tracks.
"Now...just a second, man," said Jason, trying to calm him down.
"Tommy...it was all Jason's idea," replied Haley.
"You just took it out of my mouth," said Jason.
"THIS...was your idea Jason?" asked Tommy, about to get really ticked off.
"Yeah. Sorry man. I should've told you," said Jason. "I knew you guys needed some time off, so...I sorta came up with the idea."
Tommy tried to hold back his anger a bit. Jason was beginning to get nervous. But just then... Tommy came & gave him a bear hug. He laughed as he said, "Thanks, man."
"What's gotten into you bro?" asked Jason.
"I think he accepts your apology, Jase," answered Kimberly.
"As for you two," said Tommy, referring to Connor & Ethan.
"We're sorry as well Dr. O," said Ethan.
"We should've told you sooner as well," said Connor, both pleading for mercy.
"Thanks," replied Tommy.
Connor suddenly turned to Ethan, & they both were like... 'What?!'
"I wanted to thank you all. I guess I've been acting like a complete idiot. I should've realized it sooner," said Tommy.
"No...don't say that man. It wasn't your fault. If you hadn't been there for her, she wouldn't even be here right now," said Jason.
"He's right Tommy. Otherwise, she would've been back in Mesogog's hands already," stated Haley.
"Like we said... we're all here for ya bro. Even Kimberly is, right?" asked Jason.
"Of course I am," said Kimberly, giving Tommy a quick peck on the cheek.
"Thanks you guys. For everything," said Tommy.
"Hey...we're all here for you man," said Trent.
"And we wouldn't have it any other way," said Kira.
"Oh by the way Jase, Billy called us a while ago & told us that he wanted to congratulate you on getting back your powers," said Kimberly.
"Oh really? How is the old genius?" asked Jason.
"He says he's doing fine. Decided to stay on Aquatar to help the other Rangers out," said Tommy.
"Wait a second...who's he?" asked Connor.
"In case you guys weren't paying attention, he was the smart one in the team. The genius, I might add," said Kira.
"Sounds like someone's been doing their homework," teased Jason.
"Well...at least I've been paying attention, even in class, unlike two that I know," said Kira.
"Hey...just because we don't pay attention, doesn't mean we can't hear you ya know," said Ethan.
"Jeez guys, lighten up a bit," said Kira.
"You guys definitely need to learn when to not take things too seriously," said Kimberly.
"Yeah...and like YOU don't, Beau..." but Tommy was cut off short.
"Uh...what did I just say about the "B" word?" asked Kimberly, trying to get the best of him with that old rule of theirs.
"Now who needs to lighten up?" shot back Connor.
Kira couldn't help but just find amusement in the way that Connor kept acting, considering that he actually DID need to learn when to not take things seriously, too seriously. She heaved a sigh as she said, "Boys...when will they EVER learn?"
"I heard that," said Ethan.
Just then...Haley came & gave the rest of the guys some soda & said, "I'm just glad you guys are back together & have resolved everything."
"Here's to friendship," said Ethan.
"To friendship," said the rest.
Just then, Connor decided to use up a line from the 'Three Musketeers' to lighten things up.
"All for one..." started Connor.
"And one for all," finished Haley.
"Here, here," said Jason.
"Ditto on that," said Ethan.
"Same here," said Trent.
"Count me in," said Kira.
And there you have it folks. The ending to my story. Go ahead and give me your opinions on it or on the song I made. Like it, hate it? I don't mind. But...it was my first on creating my own song. And...thanks a whole bunch to those who have reviewed. I definitely appreciate it. I might plan to write a sequel very soon.
Until the next.
Powering down.
R/R please.
