Eric stood at the side of the school building, looking around, making sure it was deserted.

"Hey." Came a voice. Eric spun around, fear coursing through him, but was relieved to see it was the person he had been waiting for. "Jumpy." The person smirked. Eric sighed.

"Shut up." He said. "You got it?" He asked.

"Yeah, yeah, I got it." The person said it. "You're lucky we're friends. Do you know how much trouble I'd be in if anyone found out I was here?"

"You have my eternal gratitude." Eric said. He pulled out an envelope from his pocket and handed it to the person. The person handed him another envelope. "You are coming back next week, right?" He asked.

"I'll try." Was the person's reply as they left.

Kira had just finished a killer math test. She'd studied while she was suspended, but it had still be excrutatingly hard. She had taken it after school because the teacher was kind enough to let her use the actual period to do a bit more studying. Now she was going to meet up with the others at Cyberspace. As she was turning the corner to her locker, and not looking where she was going, she slammed into Trent, causing both teens to crash to the ground, books and papers going everywhere.

"Trent! Oh my god. I'm so sorry." Kira apologized as she tried to gather his things and help him. She went to pick up his social studies textbook, but Trent snatched it up before she could get to it.

"Watch where you're going you idiot." he snarled before pushing himself up and stalking away furiously.

"Whoa, what crawled up your butt and died?" She muttered.

"Kira!" Came a surprised voice. She looked up and saw Eric standing there.

"Hey, Eric." She said. Eric got down and helped her with her things.

"What are you doing here?" He asked nervously.

"Had to take a test. What about you?"

"Just about to leave. Just going to get my stuff from my locker." He said.

"Are you going to Cyberspace?" She asked.

"Uh, no." Eric said. "I have to…study." He said. The two of them stood up and he handed her her books. "I'll see ya." He said as he walked off. Kira was a little surprised by his behavior. She shrugged and put the books she wasn't going to need for the night in her locker and grabbed her things and left, making her way to Cyberspace.

Tommy walked into the hospital. He went to the front desk.

"May I help you?" The woman behind the desk asked.

"Yeah, I'd like to see Jason Lee Scott." He said. The woman nodded.

"All right, it's-"

"I know where it is, thank you." Tommy said politely. He walked to Jason's room. He saw the door was slightly ajar.

"………I do still have feelings for him." Said a voice. Tommy realized it was Kimberly. "You know that I do. I'm just afraid. I'm afraid that if-" Tommy inched the door open a bit to hear better but it creaked. Kimberly spun around and saw him standing there. "Tommy." She gasped. "How long have you been standing there?" She asked.

"I just got here." He said. "Can I come in?" He asked. Kimberly nodded. Tommy walked in and sat down beside her. The two were silent.

"I'm sorry about the other day." They both finally said at the same time. "Why are you sorry?" They both said. They laughed.

"You first." Kimberly said.

"Look, I'm sorry about what happened. I mean, we haven't seen each other in years and I shouldn't have pushed you like that." He said.

"I'm sorry for getting all weird on you." Kimberly said.

"Friends?" He asked. Kimberly smiled and nodded.

"Totally."

"Well, friend, have you had lunch yet today?" He asked. Kimberly shook her head.

"I usually don't eat much besides one of those granola meal bars." She shrugged.

"Well, how about I take you to Cyberspace?" He asked. He had come to the hospital with the hopes of being able to talk to Jason, but now that he was in the room, he couldn't.

"I can't. I actually have to go pick Trini up from school." She said.

"Well, how about I take you both out for some smoothies at cyberspace?" He asked. Kimberly smiled.

"OK, then. How about I pick up Trini and we meet you there?" She suggested.

"Sounds good." He said. He looked at Jason once more. "I should go." He said. He went to get up.

"Tommy?" Kimberly said, stopping him. "You're not a bad friend because you feel uncomfortable. I know Jason understands." She said softly. Tommy looked at her.

"I hope so." He said sadly. He got up and left.

An hour later Conner, Kira, Ethan, Tommy, Kimberly and Trini were sitting in Cyberspace.

"Kimberly, she is so adorable." Kira said, smiling at Trini. "She looks just like you." Kimberly smiled. She looked at Trini.

"What do you say, honey?" She asked.

"Thank you." Trini said shyly. Haley walked over. She smiled and kneeled beside Trini.

"Hey, I'm Haley. Would you like a chocolate ice cream soda?" She asked. Trini's eyes lit up. She looked at Kimberly.

"Mommy, can I?" She asked. Kimberly laughed softly.

"Sure." She said. Haley took Trini's hand as she hopped off the chair and led her to the counter. She picked her up and placed her on one of the stools and got behind the counter to make the drink.

"So, Kira how was your first day back in school?" Tommy asked. Kira smiled.

"It was great."

"Again I say, my girlfriend's a freak." Conner said. Kira smacked his arm playfully. Kimberly smiled at the couple. Her heart ached a little seeing them, remembering how she and Tommy were when they were that young. Ethan sighed.

"You know what; I think I'm just going to head home." He announced.

"Are you sure?" Kira asked.

"Do you want us to come with you?" Conner asked.

"Yes, I'm sure and no I don't." Ethan said. "I'll see you tomorrow." He said as he left. As he was walking out, he saw Naomi approaching the café. She stopped when she saw him. "Naomi." He said softly.

"Don't." She said. Ethan walked up to her.

"Look, I just…I just wanted to tell you that-"

"Like I said this morning, I'm not interested in whatever it is you have to say. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go see my friend."

"Who? Trent?" Ethan asked.

"Yes, Trent. Is that a problem? Keep in mind I don't give a damn even if it is." Naomi said coldly. Ethan sighed.

"Naomi, I miss you."

"You miss me pinning after your alter-ego?" She asked.

"No! I miss talking to you, hanging out." He said, there was intense pleading in his eyes. Naomi looked at him. For a second, Ethan thought she was about to accept his apology, but her face soon became cold.

"Well, get ready to do a lot of missing." She said. "Don't think I'm stupid. I've figured out that Conner, Kira and Doctor Oliver are the other rangers." She whispered. "And unless you want me telling the whole school your secret, I suggest you and your buddies stay away from me."

"What?" Ethan asked, stunned she'd even say that.

"You heard me." She said. "Stay away from me, or else the truth will be revealed." She said. "I'm sure the identity of the rangers will be a great follow-up to my story on Kira, right?" She asked. Ethan felt like he had been punched in the stomach and slapped in the face at the same time. "Suddenly I don't feel the need to drink a smoothie." Naomi said as she turned around and walked back home. Ethan closed his eyes and walked home.

Back inside, Trini was sitting at the counter, happily sipping her drink. Trent looked at the clock on the wall and went up to Haley.

"Hey, my dad's about to come pick me up, is it all right if I take off early?" He asked. Haley nodded. Trent went to the back to punch out his time card. He came back a couple of minutes later at the same moment that Anton Mercer walked in. Kimberly had been laughing with Tommy, Kira and Conner and gazed up at the door. Her entire body froze and she felt a lump in her throat.

"Kimberly?" Tommy asked, seeing her face go pale. His voice was distant to Kimberly. Anton looked at Kimberly. Kimberly's heart rammed against her chest. She felt herself start to hyperventilate. She quickly got up and grabbed her purse. "Kim?" Tommy asked again. Kimberly rushed over to the counter and grabbed Trini.

"What's going on?" Haley asked.

"Sweetie, we've got to go." Kimberly said to Trini.

"But I want to finish my drink." She said.

"Now!" Kimberly said, her voice shaking. Trini's eyes went wide and she slowly climbed off the stool. Kimberly grabbed her hand and went to leave, only to bump into Anton.

"Kimberly." He said softly. "What a pleasant surprise."

"What are you doing here?" Kimberly snarled.

"What do you mean? I live in Reefside." He said. He looked down at Trini. "Is this little Katrina?" He said. He went to get closer to her but Kimberly pulled her behind her.

"Stay away from us." She said through gritted teeth. She picked Trini up and ran out.

"What just happened?" Kira asked.

"I don't know." Tommy said. "But I intend to find out." He got up and followed her. Kimberly was standing against the wall, holding Trini close, shaking and crying.

"Kimberly, what's wrong?" He asked.

"I just…." She tried to say. "I just…Have to go." She set Trini down and pulled out her keys. Her hands were shaking too much to get it into the lock.

"Here, let me do it." He said. He took the keys from her and opened the back door of the car. He opened it and let Trini slide in.

"Kimberly, it's quite rude to just run out on people without saying goodbye." Came Anton's voice as he came out of the café with Trent behind him. "Trent, go wait in the car." He said. Trent nodded and left. He looked at Kimberly. "I do hope you're not teaching Katrina those manners." Tommy was at a complete lost as to what was going on.

"Leave me alone." Kimberly said. "You stay away from us, you bastard!" She yelled.

"It's good to see that you haven't lost the spunkiness of your youth." Anton smiled as he took one step back. "After all, that was what did attract me to you."

"Kimberly, what is he talking about? How do you know each other?" Tommy asked.

"You mean, she hasn't told you?" Anton asked.

"Shut up." Kimberly said.

"Kimberly and I go way back."

"I said, shut up." Kimberly said, her fists clenching. Anton smirked.

"I should get going. It was nice seeing you." He said as he left. Kimberly turned to Tommy.

"Give me my keys." She said.

"Kimberly, what's going on?" He asked.

"Just give me my damn keys." She said.

"What was he talking about? How do you know Anton Mercer?" Tommy asked. Kimberly slid against the wall and sat down, sobbing. Tommy sat beside her. "Talk to me, Beautiful." He whispered. Kimberly wiped at her cheeks and looked at him.

"I can't." She said softly. "I have to go."

"You're not driving in that condition." Tommy said. He stood up and helped Kimberly to her feet. "I'll drive you." Kimberly stopped.

"No. I-I can't go back to Dana and Carter's." She said softly.

"Why?"

"I just can't, ok!" Kimberly screeched.

"OK, ok. I'll take you somewhere." He said. "Go get in my jeep, I'll get Trini, all right?" He said. Kimberly nodded as she did as he said.

----

A little while later, Tommy pulled the van over in front of his house. Trini had fallen asleep in Kimberly's lap.

"Where are we?" Kimberly asked. Tommy opened his door and got out.

"My house." He said. He went around and opened Kimberly's door. He took Trini from her so she could get out easily.

"What? Tommy, no.." Kimberly said, beginning to panic again.

"Shhhh." Tommy said. He got in the house. "Sit down." He said. "I'll take Trini upstairs." He went and placed Trini on the bed in his guest room. He came down and found Kimberly pacing around the living room.

"Tommy, you shouldn't have brought me here." She said.

"Why? What's going on?" He went over and pulled her to the couch. "I..I heard you earlier talking to Jason. You said you were afraid. Afraid of what?" He asked as they sat down. Kimberly sniffled and wiped her eyes with the back of her hand. She looked at Tommy.

"I met Anton when I first went to Florida. He was a friend of Coach Schmitt…Coach called him Tony…I just figured that was his name….I…"

"Kimberly?"

"Tony…Anton….Whatever his name is…I'm afraid of him."

"Why?" Tommy asked. Kimberly drew in a shaky breath.

"Because, I'm 99 certain he's the one who put Jason in the coma." She said. Tommy's eyes bulged out. "……And, he's Trini's father." Kimberly said.
