Disclaimer: Saban owns all PR material and characters. I am just borrowing them and writing a fanfic about them because I am bored and I need something to do. I own all character I make up myself, however. Please, oh, please don't sue me.
Distribution: Anywhere as long as I am informed first.
Rating: R for language, adult situations, and other stuff I decide to throw your way.
Time Line: This story takes place four years after Kim left for Florida. Kim did break up with Tommy and they are dating other people in this fanfic. No one made her write "The Letter" or anything like that. She really did meet someone new. Most of the characters are 22, and some are 23. Okay, that's good enough I guess.
My Notes: Thank you to all the people who read and reviewed the first chapter. You inspired me to write another one, so good job. I have been so overwhelmed this past week because I had all these ideas for fanfics floating around in my head and I wrote and posted them and now I have to write new chapters for all of them because I was dense and didn't spread them out. Next time I will write one at a time. I also had the great luck of spraining my knee this weekend in a soccer tournament, so if some of this stuff I write doesn't make sense it is because I am 'drugged up.' I would laugh at myself but right now I don't think it's very funny. So you can stop laughing at me right now if you want to. Thanks. ~Morgan~

The Green Cow

Kat sat in a small booth at the far end of a dim club, waiting for Kim and Trevor to arrive. She smiled as she saw Trevor walk through the door, but Kim was nowhere to be seen.
'She is probably just lagging behind outside or something. Just chill Kat, this is no big deal. Just because you will be alone with a guy you do not know at all does not mean anything bad will happen. If Kim trusts him then he has to be a nice guy. All though, Trevor is really cute and...STOP IT! That is Kim's man. You cannot be attracted to him. It is not right at all. You have a great looking boyfriend already...Yeah, one that doesn't even realize you exist when Kim is around...'
"Hello, Kat. I guess it is just going to be the three of us tonight. Kim has not been feeling that well today, so she is at the hotel sleeping. She has been out like a light since five o'clock." He looked around the fairly small club in confusion, trying to figure out just where Tommy had gotten to. He hadn't seen him since he walked in the door. "Where's Tommy...in the restroom?"
"Um, I don't think he is coming tonight either. We sort of got in a fight and he left to go walk around or something. He wasn't back by the time we were supposed to leave to get here so I just left without him. He didn't call me or anything so I'm not go to push him." She stirred her Sprite, the bubbles engulfing her attention at the moment.
"Oh, I'm sorry to hear that. You want to talk about it," he quipped as he took a seat in the uncomfortable booth across from her.
"No, not really. It's no big deal. We just had a minor disagreement over something and he got mad and left."
"Something...or someone?" Trevor smiled as she looked up at him with a mixture of shock and fear in her eyes.
"Wha..what are you talking about?" She tried to play dumb, but didn't have much success fooling the almost prosperous lawyer.
"Oh please, Kimberly and I had that same little fight this morning. Then, we made up...three times." Kat's eyebrows raised a little at that last remark, kind of relieved that she wasn't just being an overly jealous and paranoid girlfriend. Plus, the fact that he could 'make-up' three times in one day perked her interest in him a bit more than it already had been. "I saw her face when she would look at him, and I can't lie and say I didn't see something there. I trust Kimberly with my life and I know deep down that we are meant to be together. So, I let it go and came to the conclusion that since they didn't have any real closure to their relationship, that she just felt uneasy around him. Which, really, is understandable. But...that doesn't make me feel any better to tell you the truth."
"Okay, okay, you got me. We had this gigantic fight over Kim. He wouldn't even listen to what I had to say or anything. He was so mad that I even brought up the subject of him loving her still that he just shut me out. But, what do you expect from him? That is all he ever does when a conflict makes its way to him."
"Well, I just met Tommy and he seems like a really nice guy, but I can see what you are saying. He does reflect that loner attitude at times, but everyone has their different personalities and attributes, and we just have to learn to live with them if we want to be around that person."
She finally looked up into his big blue eyes, not much different from her own. "I know. But why does it have to be so hard sometimes? Why can't everything just be perfect like in fairy tales?...Why can't he just love me...?" Her face fell again.
He reached across the small table, taking her small hands in his own larger ones hoping to comfort her after seeing her obviously sullen face.
"I sometimes wonder the same thing myself Kat."
A young lady made her way to their booth, with a notepad and pen in her hands.
"What can I get you to drink," she asked Trevor, having served Kat already. "Would you like another sprite?"
They looked at each other and nodding their heads simultaneously agreed on a beverage.
"Tequila."

'...How could she ask me that? Does she not have any faith or trust in me? Does she think I would actually betray her by loving someone else?...Who am I kidding? I don't know what I feel for Kim. I definitely feel something. But what?'
Tommy walked along the almost pitch blank road, light posts lining the sidewalk, lost in his own thoughts. He was confused. He didn't know what to think anymore. Who did he love? Kim or Kat?
'Kim or Kat? Kat or Kim? Kim or Kat? Kat or Kim?' He repeated that over and over in his mind, deep down knowing who it was.
Why did he even bother thinking about that other woman? He knew who is heart belonged to. It was absurd to even think about having a life with that other woman, about growing old with her and having a son with her. What had he been thinking? Why did he let her go?
'God Kim, I love you so much. You're with Trevor now and I can't have you. I have Kat, but how could Kat ever replace Kim?'
She couldn't...plain and simple.

Kat's Apartment

"Thank you so much for riding with me back to my apartment. That cab driver was kind of freaky looking wasn't he?" They stood on her small porch, under the soft glow illuminating from the porch light, talking and laughing after having a fun night hanging out and getting to know each other.
"No problem, I have to take that cab back to our hotel because I can't drive like this. If Kim found out she would kill me."
"Same here...with Tommy I mean." They laughed, a little tipsy from the tequila they had shared. "Would you like to come in for a while? Have a cup of coffee so we can talk some more...I'm sure Kim won't mind you being a little late will she?"
"Sure, I'd like that."
Waving at the freaky guy driving the cab that was sitting out by the curb to just go ahead and leave, Trevor followed Kat inside for a cup of coffee. Or so he thought...
Right when the door shut behind them, they were all over each other. Neither one of them initiated the heavy kissing, they had both lunged at each other at the same time. Trevor pulled her lite weight jacket off as she tugged at his black belt.
"Where's your room," he asked as she assaulted his mouth, almost bringing him to knees with lust. This was not lovemaking, this was just pure leisure sex.
Kat took him by the hand and led him down the short hallway to a small bedroom with little furniture and a large, king sized bed. Shutting the door behind them, the two had sex, betraying both of their former loves, but not thinking about anyone but themselves. They did not make love, they just had leisure sex.

Tommy stood outside Kat's apartment, pondering on whether he wanted to go in or not. How was he going to tell her that he didn't want to be with her? How was he going to explain that if he couldn't have Kimberly he didn't want to have anyone else? Taking a deep breath, Tommy reached up and grabbed the spare key she kept above her door and unlocked it, walking in. Nothing could have prepared him for what he found...

Okay, that was a short teaser or whatever. I hope you liked it. All you Kat fans probably hate me right now...but guess what...I don't care. You know how to review, so go at it. Just for the record, I like Kat. I just thought I could write an interesting story with her being one of the bad guys in it.
I'm off the bed, my leg is freaking killing me! Yikes! Please read and review. I will probably have the next chapter out soon, but I can't promise anything. With all the other fanfics I have to write chapters for it may be a week (at the most hopefully). Thanks! ~Morgan~
