Big Bad Draven

Disclaimer: I own nobody but Akira. Vash the Stampede appears courtesy of my imagination, he also does NOT belong to me. I wish he did though. Just so you get it it's a TG/PR fic.

Summery: Tommy looks back on his high school days as he and the Dino Thunder Ranger clean up his house. What happens when someone from his past shows up and an old flame finally sees him for the first time in 10 years?

Chapter 1: Spring cleaning

I set a box of old files on the ground and I stopped to stretch my back.

"Man Dr. O, you sure do have a lot of stuff." Ethan said sweeping up what dirt we left on the floor from moving boxes.

"Really, if I didn't know better I'd think you had a museum hiding around here." Kira said cleaning the windows.

"What are in these boxes anyway? They weigh a ton." Conner said setting down the last box.

"Oh, just some old stuff from my high school days." I said as I dusted my hands off and looked at what we accomplished for the day.

"Hey Dr. O, who is this?" Trent asked holding up a picture. I went over and looked at what he was talking about. It was a picture of me and Akira.

::Flash Back 3rd P.O.V.::

"Tommy, be still." A green haired girl laughed as her boyfriend playfully tickled her.

"Oh alright." He said as he stood still for the picture to be taken. Finally the flash went off and he blinked trying to see straight. "I think my retinas are burnt out." Tommy laughed as he and the green haired girl walked towards the computer where their picture was being printed out.

"Oh it wasn't that bad." She giggled as she poked him in the side playfully.

"Yes it was. I had to stand still and wait for the blinding white light to burn my retinas." He laughed. She sighed and continued to walk with him. "I'm sorry." Tommy said stopping in front of her.

"It's alright." She said pecking him on the cheek. She then started to gaze out at the lake where the photographers were photographing people and scenery for the Fourth of July.

"What are you thinking about?" He asked giving her a curious look.

"About what I'm gonna do without you when I go home." She said hugging Tommy close. "I don't want to go, but I have to. My planet needs me." She said burying her face into his chest.

"I know. I just want to hold on to you forever and not let go." He said hugging her tighter to him.

"I love you Thomas Oliver." She whispered.

"I love you too Terasu Cyclone." He whispered back to her before he kissed her passionately under the fireworks of the night.

::End Flashback Tommy's P.O.V.::

"Dr. O? Hello, Earth to Dr. Oliver." Kira said waving her hand in front of my face.

"Huh? Oh, what did you say Kira?" I asked her sniffing a bit.

"I asked who was in the picture with you." She said giving me a weird look.

"Yeah, who's the girl?" Conner asked.

"An old friend." I said. "You guys better get home before your parents start to worry." I said taking the picture and setting it on my fireplace mantel.

"I guess you're right I gotta be home in half an hour." Ethan said walking towards the door followed by Kira and Conner.

"Yeah see you later Dr. O." Trent said following quickly behind.

"Ok then. I'll see you guys later." I waved to them as they left. I sighed as I looked at us picture again. I went over to my phone and flipped through a few pages of my address book and found what I was looking for. I dialed number and waited for them to pick up.

"Hello?" The voice said into the phone.

"Hey, it's me Tommy." I said sighing.
