Chapter 8: Cat

Last Time:

After the movie, Eren told Conner that she was going to do something for awhile so that he could leave now. Conner kept on persisting to take her to where she wanted to go but finally she got him to leave. But without giving him a good-bye/good-night kiss on the cheek which they did right in front of Hunter and Amy. Amy was happy that Eren moved on so that Hunter could be all hers but Hunter was seething with jealousy. Eren left the group a minute before Conner who was followed by Amy and Hunter. Hunter wanted to follow her but with Amy, he couldn't just leave her, so he stayed with her with his mind set on Eren.

-Didn't I make the right choice of breaking up with Eren?- Hunter thought now having second opinions.

Now

At Reefside High

Eren was sitting with the other rangers at their usual meeting place talking until Tommy came and interrupted their discussion to talk to Eren. Eren looked at Tommy with a what's-wrong-? look. He didn't answer her but motioned for her to follow him. She sighed and followed him. Once out of the others' ear shots, Eren started to ask questions.

"What's up, Tom?"

"It's nothing really important. May be I shouldn't have come to ask you. Just go back to whatever you were doing." Tommy said.

"I know that this isn't nothing if you don't want to talk about it, Thomas." Eren said a little annoyed since she used his full name.

"Alright. Alright, just don't use my full name." He said with a little cringe of annoyance.

Eren smiled proudly at herself but went serious again as she gave Tommy her I'm-annoyed-you-better-start-talking-or-else look. He gulped and started to fidget.

"Ok, here's what's up. Cat is coming from Australia and I don't know what to get her."

"Really? Cat's coming?! That's great. You two have been dating and doing that long distance relationship for like forever! I can't wait to see her again. Ok, when is she coming?" Eren asked all excited.

"I think she's coming this Sunday." Tommy said.

"Alright, that gives us enough time to shop for a present." Eren said with a smile on her face. "We go shopping Saturday. I think I know the perfect gift to get. I saw it while Conner and I were out on that date last week."

"Alright, thanks Er." Tommy said while giving her a quick hug.

"No prob, Tom." Eren said.

Eren went back to her table and told them what was up. They all smiled as she told them the story of Tommy Oliver and Catherine Hillard and how they fell in love. Just as she finished her story, they all smiled and left the group to get to class.

Saturday at Reefside Mall

That Saturday, Tommy took Eren to Reefside Mall to look for the perfect gift to give to their old friend. Eren dragged Tommy to an antique store. She showed him all the cat designs that they had. She wanted Tommy to get the perfect gift but he said he didn't find anything that he liked that would be good enough for her. But unlike him, Eren saw a great gift that she could give to her. She went up to the cash register and paid for a cat designed mini-lamp. It was designed with a cat that was chasing a ball of yarn and was the cutest shade of baby pink and pure white. She had the mini-lamp gift wrapped and put into a box and bag. After she got her gift, Eren and Tommy left the small antique shop and left for another.

After the two went through almost all the shops at the mall, Tommy was about to give up until he found the gift. He went into a store called Kitty Baby (does not exist except in my mind) with Eren following at his heels. He went to the register and asked the lady if he could take a closer look at the gift he saw in the window. Once the lady was back, she handed him a beautiful locket.

The locket was designed as a cat that was made up of pure gold. It was painted with pink designs and had a watch on its belly. If the tail was pushed down, the body would spring up to show a place for two pictures. The locket in other words was gorgeous. He asked the lady how much the locket was and she answered by saying that it was only twenty-two dollars. He paid for the delicate piece of jewelry and hand it wrapped up. The lady smiled and handed him the gift and asked him a question.

"Sir, who are you giving this gift to?"

"To my long time girlfriend." He answered.

"Well, she must be a lucky girl." The lady said.

Eren was watching this with amusement as another woman came out of the back of the shop. Eren took note of the two ladies. The lady at that was talking to Tommy had shoulder length black hair and brown eyes that was behind gold rimmed glasses. The lady that just came out of the back of the shop had long strawberry blonde hair and green eyes. Eren walked up to the three and looked at them.

"Excuse me miss, but I wanted to ask, have you ever been to Turtle Cove before?" Eren asked the two women.

"Why yes. We lived there until, I believe, last year." The woman at the counter said.

"I thought I recognized you. I'm Eren Matthews, Alyssa's friend." Eren said.

"So your Eren. It's a pleasure to finally meet you. My name is Dannie and just so you know, Alyssa always talked about you, your sisters, and her friends." Dannie said.

"Yes, she always said how wonderful her friends were. By the way, I'm Tyler." The blond said.

The three girls talked for a short time until Tommy said that they had to go. Eren and Tommy said their good-byes while inviting them to Hayley's on Friday for talent night. Eren and Tommy left and headed to Tommy's jeep but were stopped when a bunch of Tyrannodrones and Elsa appeared out of no where.

"What do you want now?!" Eren asked a little annoyed that they came during her shopping day.

"We want nothing but you girl!" Elsa said to Eren.

The drones attacked Eren and Tommy. Eren threw her's and Tommy's gifts gently into the jeep so that it wouldn't be damaged by the enemy. They charged at the drones and started to fight. Eren and Tommy combined their attacks as if they were fighting Dark Scepter's forces. The two were tiring quickly since they were moving around a lot that day. As they were brought to their knees, a blonde figure in pink and white appeared and helped them. Eren and Tommy couldn't see the face of their savior but knew it was a female since they could see a petite figure and mid-back length hair.

When Elsa and her drones ran away like cowards, their savior turned around and they came face to face with someone from their past.

"CAT?!" Tommy and Eren asked in shock.
