"If you'll look at example #1, which is Nitrogen, it should be in the fifth colu-" Dr. Thomas Oliver was interrupted as the school bell went off and he turned the projector off as a student turned on the lights. "Study for your quiz on Friday." He yelled over the rustle of students.

Walking over to the teacher, Ethan James slung his bag over his shoulder, looking around to see the room vacant except for them. "Um, Dr. O, I can't go to training tonight, my mom's in the hospital and I'd like to go visit." He explained to the black dino ranger.

Placing a few papers in his suitcase, Tommy looked up at his student. "No problem, but you're missing Kim and Jason's first training session." He smiled at the blue ranger.

Ethan fawned disappointment before waving goodbye to Tommy and leaving the classroom.

With a serene smile, the longest running ranger known to earth walked out, closing the lights and door. Student turned to look at him as he walked down the hall, whistling happily to himself and a soft smile upon his lips. Walking past Cassidy and Devon, he waved into the camera and continued to walk to the parking lot. Once he reached it, he was surprised to see Jason's truck along the sidewalk, running quietly. At its honk, he signaled to him to hold on a second as he got into his jeep, starting it up. Steering it over to park it next to the red truck, he looked out the passenger side and was surprised to see Kim in the drivers seat.

"Hey Tommy! Jason was busy so I decided to take his car for a ride. Guess I was out longer than I thought." She giggled, letting her hand hang out the car window.

He chuckled along with her. "Want to get some coffee? I need some energy after such a long day of hormone driven teens."

"Sure, TGIF hm?" she smiled teasingly.

He nodded, opening his suitcase and taking his wallet out. "There's a little café a few minutes from here, just follow me alright?" At her nod, he started down the street towards the main street, Kim right behind him.

"Two Vanilla Mochas please." He told the cashier and handed her the money. After giving him the change, another employee came up and handed him his order. Walking over to Kim, who sat seated by the window, with the two cups in hand, he placed them on the table and sat down across from her.

"Tommy, you didn't have to pay for both of us, I had money on me. "She explained, a cute frown on her face.

He smirked at her. "Who said either of them are for you? I'm really like my caffeine." When she glared, he laughed and pushed one up towards her. "Just kidding. It's no problem Kim, really."

Sighing, she took it and brought it to her lips, taking a small sip. Placing it back on the table, she looked up at him in surprise. "Vanilla Mocha? You remembered my favorite coffee?"

Blushing slightly, he looked down at his cup. "Of course I remember..." he said quietly.

Reaching over, she covered his hand with hers, causing him to look up at her and see her smiling at him. "Thank you Tommy..."she said just as quietly, squeezing his hand.

With a weird sense of déjà vu, he couldn't stop the words from coming out. "No problem beautiful."

Eyes widening, her lips formed an 'o' before curling up in a smile and her eyes softened. Releasing his hand, she took her cup and began to drink the hot liquid, content with the comfortable silence.

Pulling his keys from his pocket, Conner McKnight unlocked the door to his red mustang. Just as he threw his bag in the back, he turned around at the sound of someone calling his name. He smiled when he saw Kira Ford running up to him with her bag in her right hand and her guitar in its bag over her shoulder. "Hey Kira."

She stopped in front of him, grinning back. "Hay's for horses Conner." She teased with a small giggled. "Mind if I get a lift with you?" she asked, taking her guitar off her shoulder and replacing it with her book bag.

"Sure, anything for this horse." He teased back, patting her on the head, earning him a swat of the hand. Opening his door further, he drew the driver's seat forward and took her guitar, putting it on the floor in the back then putting her school bag on the seat. "Hop in, are you going home before training?"

She walked over to the passenger's side, opening the door and getting into the car. "Well, I was wondering if we could maybe just play with the ball you gave me last night before heading over." She suggested in a silent question.

He nodded as he flipped the seat back in a place and got it, placing the key in the ignition. "Sure, anytime you want, just call me up, alright?" he asked, smiling gently at her.

Her heart pounded in her chest as she gave him a curt nod, smiling back.

Tommy had finished his coffee and was retelling his day to the woman sitting across from him as she sipped the remains of from her own mug. "And principle Randall just HAD to come in at that exact moment. It was so embarrassing!" he whined, burying his face in his hands.

She laughed loudly at his expense, taking one last gulp then placing the cup on the table. "Okay, done. So what do we do now?" she asked, standing up from her seat.

Following her example, he stood and walked over to stand in front of her. "I'd really like it if we could continue our talk from yesterday, Jason's not around so he can't interrupt us again." He said in a soft voice, his right hand taking her left.

Licking her lips unconsciously, she nodded and squeezed his hand lightly.

Picking the ball up from the grass in her backyard, Kira tossed it to Conner. "Ok Mr. Soccer-Master, what should we practice today?"

He caught it expertly, dropping it to the ground. "How bout we just practice passing it back and forth?" she nodded and he kicked it softly at her, taking a couple steps backwards. "It's sort of like taking a shot, kick it with the inside of your foot but don't hit it too hard, 'kay?" he explained.

She bit her lip and concentrated on the amount of strength in her foot as she kicked it towards him and was pleasantly surprised when he only had to take a small step to the right to stop the ball. "Yes! Ha! How do you like me now ball?!?!"

Conner laughed at her antics, smiling at her. "That was really good Kira! A lot better than I expected."

She stopped her victory dance to glare at him. "Are you saying you expect me to fail???"

His eyes widened and he waved his arms in front of him as she advanced on him. "No no no, I di-" he was cut off as she stood in front of him. He gulped and his eyes squeezed shut, readying himself for the worse.

She grinned and brought her hand up to flick the tip of his nose. "Thanks Conner." She said and walked back to her bag.

He opened his eyes, blinking in confusion. Wasn't she going to beat the living stuffing out of him? "Um...what?"

She giggled, picking up her bag and throwing it into the house. After closing the door, she walked back over to the red ranger and smiling genuinely up at him. "Thanks, I was just pulling your leg, I know you're rooting for me."

He blinked a few more times and followed her with his eyes as she walked over to his car. "Yeah, that's what I was doing..."

Unlocking the door, he stepped back to let Kim in first then followed her in, closing the door behind him. "Want anything to eat? Training lasts a few hours and takes a lot out of you." Eh explained, walking into the kitchen as he talked.

She pulled a chair out from the table and sat, starring openly at him. "Maybe just a little snack." She answered. "So, what exactly are we doing during this so called training?"

Opening the fridge, he took out a large container of salsa, placing it on the counter. "Just some sparring and such. Hayley wants to introduce you to your new Zords." He told her as he poured some salsa into a small bowl and putting it and a bag of chips on the table.

"Thanks." She said, reaching into the bag and taking out a few chips and dropping them onto a napkin. "So, when does everyone else get here?" she asked, dipping a chip into the salsa.

Pulling up a chair to sit next to her, he scooped up a generous amount of salsa on a single chip, smiling happily as he ate it. "In a few minutes." He answered around a mouthful of food.

"Eww...what happened to the old, well-mannered Tommy I used to know and love?" she asked, trying to force down the smirk that wanted to show.

He leaned over, his nose a few centimeters from hers. "He matured...?" he asked with a smile in his voice.

Blushing from the closeness, her breathing quickened. "I think I could learn to love this Tommy too." She whispered, her grin showing through.

His eyes shined with amusement. "I never stopped loving the old Kim." He confessed quietly, placing his hand over hers.

"Good thing I haven't changed much then, hm?" she answered, lacing her fingers with his.

With a boost of confidence, he closed the distance, both of their eyes shutting closed, preparing for the long-awaited kiss.

"Hey guys!" Jason Scott exclaimed, causing a very shocked Tommy to fall backwards off his chair.

Kim looked down at Tommy then to Jason. "W-what are you doing here?!" she asked, getting up to help Tommy stand.

"Well SOMEONE took my truck and decided to abandon me so I had to take a cab." He reasoned and took a handful of ship and moved the bowl of salsa closer towards him.

Growling, Tommy shook a fist at his long-time best friend. "Couldn't you have waited just a little longer?!?!" he yelled, breathing heavily.

"No." Jason stated, smirking as he ate few chips at once.

Seconds later, Kim laughed merrily as Tommy chased Jason around the house and she felt like she had years ago, when they were all teens. Even though she didn't get her kiss...

Author's Note: Well, that's it for now. WILL TOMMY AND KIM EVER GET THEIR KISS?!!? Oh, and I'm still taking suggestions for everything. But I'm probably going with the suggestion of the Saber Tooth Tiger for Kim (I'll probably get Trini to visit them at one point and a little teasing fight between the two) and the Mammoth for Jason. Kim's power is defiantly going to be healing but I'm still not too sure about Jason. And I think I'll have a love triangle between Jason, Hayley and either Kat or Emily. I'm not going to bring back two people, only one.

Thanks for all the reviews, and keep it up. It makes me feel all special .
