The following morning, Tommy was awoken by his alarm going off. He shifted to his other side and threw his arm out, hitting the snooze button. He sighed. Man, what a dream. He thought to himself. He had dreamed that Kimberly had come to him the night before and the two of them made love.

"Mmmm." Came a soft sleepy moan as he felt gentle hands circle his waist. Tommy jumped and spun around to see Kimberly. She gave him a small smile. Oh….right, it wasn't a dream. He thought as a smile came to his lips. "Jumpy." She remarked. Tommy laughed softly.

"Sorry, I just…Forgot for a second." He admitted. Kimberly smiled, understanding. The night before felt so beyond perfect, even she thought it was all a dream at first. She slid over to him and kissed him softly. They broke apart slowly and Tommy reached over and swept some hair out of her face. "Sleep well?" He asked. Kimberly nodded, yawning.

"There's only one drawback." She said.

"What's that?"

"We have to get out of bed." Kimberly said with a pout. Tommy smiled.

"Good point." He said. He leaned in and was about to kiss her when the alarm went off again. Tommy groaned and Kimberly giggled. He sat up and shut off the wretched thing. He sat back and leaned against the headboard. "Do you want to use the shower first?" He asked.

"Sure, thanks." She said. She sat up and leaned over the side of the bed, trying to gather her clothes from the floor. The bed sheet slid down a bit, exposing her lower back and buttocks. Tommy sighed softly. Kimberly turned her head to the side. "Why, Dr. Oliver, are you checking out my ass?" She asked with a smirk. She picked up her shirt and shorts and placed them on the bed. Tommy grinned.

"Maybe." He said. Kimberly laughed. She kissed the tip of his nose and then pulled her shirt on. She then threw her legs over the side of the bed and pulled her shorts on. She smoothed her hair down a bit and got up. She walked over to Tommy's side and gave him one more kiss before she left the room. Tommy had such a wide smile on his face, his cheeks hurt from the strain. After Kimberly took a shower she popped into Tommy's room to let him know she was done with the shower. The sight of her in just a towel wasn't exactly helping with the getting out of bed plan, but he sighed, knowing he had class. He waited until she left the room before getting up and pulling his boxers on and going to the bathroom. Kimberly got dressed and fixed her hair, getting ready for the day and then went about waking up Trini. After she got her daughter dressed and brushed her hair they made their way to the kitchen where Tommy was sliding waffles into three plates that were set on the table. Trini went over and sat down at the table, taking a sip of orange juice Tommy had had already poured for her. Kimberly smiled and went over to Tommy who was pouring coffee into a mug.

"Hey, want some coffee?" He asked, giving her a kiss on the cheek.

"Yeah, coffee would be good." She said. He handed her the cup he just poured and took another mug out for himself. Kimberly smiled and gave him a quick peck on the lips before going and joining her daughter at the table.

Ethan, Conner, Kira, Eric, Trent, Naomi and the rest of Tommy's science class sat there as he taught the day's lesson. He seemed to have an extra bounce in his step and was smiling more then usual.

"Dude, is it me, or does Dr. O seem happier then usual?" Conner whispered to Kira.

"It's not just you." Kira said, watching their teacher in awe. Ethan was a little pre-occupied, watching Naomi and Trent together sitting a little to close for his liking. Eric leaned over to his brother and Kira.

"Maybe dear old teach got lucky last night." Eric joked. Kira and Conner looked at her with disgust expressions.

"Eww…Teachers and getting jiggy with it……..Not a good mental image." Conner said, shuddering.

"I agree." Kira said.

"So, any questions?" Tommy asked the class with a smile, tossing his piece of chalk in the air and catching it. Cassidy raised her hand. "Yes, Cassidy?"

"Uh, Dr. Oliver, are you….all right?" She asked. Tommy gave her an odd look.

"Yes, I'm fine. I was referring to questions about the lesson, actually, but thank you for your concern." Tommy said.

Kimberly was in the hospital cafeteria. She had with her a bag lunch that she had brought from home. She had been working in hospitals long enough to know never to trust the food there. She pulled out a container with a salad and another with leftover spaghetti from the night before. She pulled out a can of soda she had gotten from one of the vending machine and reached for the plastic fork she had packed in the bag. Her hand brushed across a folded up piece of paper.

"What's this?" She asked herself as she pulled it out. She opened up the paper and saw it was a note.

Dear Beautiful,

Well, you're probably wondering what this is; it's a note from your favorite black ranger. (No….Not Zack or Adam….Haha) Anyway, I just wanted to write you a little note to tell you how much I love you and how glad I am that we're together again. You mean the world to me and then some. I'll see you tonight.

Love always,

Tommy.

P.S. Last night was beyond incredible.

Kimberly blushed and smiled softly as she finished reading the note. Tommy must've slipped it in my bag while he was making breakfast this morning. She thought to herself.

"Well, you're happy today." Came a voice. Kimberly looked up to see Dana standing there. Kimberly laughed and stood up, hugging her.

"Hey, what are you doing here?" Kimberly asked. Dana shrugged.

"Carter's at work, and I was bored in the house all alone, so I thought I'd come pay you a visit. You weren't in your office, so I figured you'd be here." Dana said as she sat down across from Kimberly. "So, what's up? You're glowing. That's the pregnant lady's job." Kimberly laughed.

"It's nothing." Kimberly said.

"Uh huh, right." Dana said. She reached out and snatched the note out of Kimberly's hands.

"Hey!" Kimberly protested. Dana quickly read the note. She gave Kimberly a sly look.

"And what exactly happened last night?" She asked, wiggling her eyebrows. Kimberly snatched the note back from Dana.

"That's none of your business." Kimberly said, shoving the note in the pocket of her white coat.

"Kimberly, you slept together with your daughter there in the house?" Dana asked with fake shock.

"We were quiet….For the most part." Kimberly said.

"Kim!" Dana said with a laugh.

"It's not like Trini heard us. She was on the other side of the house." Kimberly said. "Besides, don't judge until you and Carter do it after you have the baby."

"Hey, this is about you, not me." Dana said. Kimberly laughed. She began to eat and talked to Dana some more.

Kira was sitting on one of the benches outside. Conner had gone off to get food, and she had her notebook open writing down some song ideas, while she waited for him to return with the food. She was so engulfed in her writing that she didn't notice Trent standing across from her, until he reached over and snatched the book from her, leaving a large pen scratch in the middle of the page. Kira's head shot up.

"What are you writing dear Kira?" Trent's voiced oozed with sarcasm. Kira stood up.

"Give that back Trent. It's none of your business." She replied, trying to remain calm. A laugh escaped Trent's throat. But it wasn't a normal laugh. It was hollow and dark, sorta like Trent. Kira narrowed her eyes.

"Aw, Kira's getting angry." Trent opened the book and began reading it out loud. "I think your perfect, so special and cool, you rock my world." Trent read off the page. Kira darted around the table and tried to grab the book from him.

"I said give that back." She snarled. Trent grinned. He knew he was aggravating her beyond belief.

"Who's this about Kira? Can't be about me, seeing as you stomped all over my heart. So it must be about that pathetic loser your dating now." He hissed dangerously. Kira felt the anger level in her rising.

"I said, give it back!" She cried before diving at Trent. Trent was caught off guard, and the both crashed to the ground. Kira snatched the book out of Trent's hands and pushed herself up.

"Don't ever take my stuff again Trent." She snarled before walking away. However, she didn't get very far, before Trent grabbed her legs and flipped her over onto her back, her head smacking off the hard grass. Kira cried out in pain and Trent pushed himself beside her and grabbed the book and threw it away and grabbed her neck.

"Look you little whore....You made my life a living hell, and now I'm gonna do the same!" Conner had met up with Naomi, Ethan and Eric while getting food. They all began to chitchat as he led them back to where Kira was.

"Oh my god!" Naomi gasped, seeing what was going on. Conner's eyes blazed with anger. He dropped the food he had just gotten and ran over. He gripped Trent by his shoulders and tossed him aside.

"Stay the hell away from my girlfriend, you son of a bitch!" Conner yelled. Kira coughed as she tried to breath in air. The others joined them. Eric and Ethan got on either side of Kira.

"Are you all right?" Eric asked, rubbing her back. Kira coughed and nodded. Naomi stood by, shocked. Conner stood between Trent and Kira, ready to intercept any action Trent might decide to do. Trent slowly stood up, calmly dusting off his clothes. He looked at Naomi.

"Come on, babe, let's get out of here." He said, although his tone was close to a command. Naomi looked at the others and went to go over to him, but Conner kept her back.

"She's not going anywhere near a demented freak like you." Conner said, showing concern for both her and Kira. Trent glared at Conner.

"Oh, I see, first you steal Kira from me, now you're going to steal Naomi too?" Trent asked. "Kira might be you're little bitch, but Naomi's mine, so back off." Ethan eyes blazed now, and he got ready to beat Trent to a bloody pulp. Trent went up to Naomi; ready to pull her away when Conner reeled his fist back and punched him in the face.

"You stay the hell away from both of them." Conner said. Trent got up and charged at Conner with a growl. The two fell to the ground with fists flying.

"Conner!" Kira said. "We've got to stop them before Randall or someone sees." She told the others. They nodded and went over to the two guys, trying to pull them apart. Naomi and Eric tried pulling at Trent.

"Get the hell off me!" Trent yelled, sending his fist back. He had no idea who was pulling at him and just wanted them to get off. His fist collided with Naomi's face.

"Ah!" She shrieked in shock and pain as she fell back. Trent froze. He got off of Conner and looked to see Naomi on the ground, her hand over her right eye.

"You bastard!" Ethan yelled. Kira and Conner looked and saw Ethan was close to using his dino power super strength on Trent. Conner got up and he and Kira held Ethan back. "Let me at him!" Ethan yelled. Eric went over to Naomi and helped her sit up. Trent looked at the others then back at Naomi who was looking at him with the same expression she had the other day when he grabbed her wrist.

"Come on, Naomi." He said, going to pull her up. Eric pushed him away.

"Stay away from her." He snarled. Trent looked at Naomi.

"Just go away, Trent." Naomi said, her voice etched with fear.

"What?"

"Go away!" She screamed. Trent glared at her and clenched his fists.

"Fine." He forced out, walking away. Kira and Conner kept a hold on Ethan until Trent was far-gone. They finally let him go. Ethan rushed over to Naomi.

"Are you all right?" He asked. He took her face in his hands.

"Yeah, I-I'm fine." She said. She sighed. Ethan pulled her close and hugged her. Conner looked at Kira and pulled her away slightly, taking Eric with them so that Ethan and Naomi could have some "private time" alone.

"Kira? What happened?" He asked. Kira looked at him.

"I was working on a new song when Trent came over and grabbed my book away from me. Then he started reading it and made rude comments about me...and you and it just escalated and got outta hand." She replied. Conner's eyes narrowed and he turned and looked after Trent. Eric grabbed his brother's arm to prevent him from leaving.

"He's not worth it bro." He commented. Conner swung back around and looked at Eric.

"He called my girlfriend a bitch and insulted a good friend of mine." Conner managed out. Kira looked at him.

"He also called me a whore, but that's besides the point." She replied. Conner's eyes blazed with anger.

"I'm going to kill him." Conner growled. Kira looked at him.

"He's not worth it Conner.... just let it go ok?" She said as she hugged him tightly. Conner returned the hug.

"If your sure." He replied. Kira nodded.

"I am."

Trent stood in the school parking lot, in front of Conner's car to be exact. He popped open the hood and leaned in. He took a switchblade out of his pocket and place it into the engine and cut the brake cable in Conner's car before removing himself and closing the hood.

"I'll teach you." He smiled before walking back into the school.

Ethan pulled away from Naomi and examined her face again. Her eye, where she had been hit, looked red. Ethan had no doubt that she'd get a black eye.

"Are you sure you're all right?" He asked. Naomi nodded. She got up.

"It's not like this was the first time he's hurt me." She muttered bitterly. Ethan heard her and stood up.

"What? Whe-When?" He asked. Naomi looked down, feeling ashamed.

"It's nothing. We got in a fight the other day and he just grabbed me, it's nothing."

"Wa…Wait..Was that why he pulled you aside when we went to the mall yesterday?" He asked. Naomi blinked, feeling tears in her eyes. That was all the answer Ethan needed. "Let me see." He said. Naomi shook her head. "Naomi, please." He said softly. Naomi sighed and lifted the sleeve of her shirt to reveal a dark bruise on her wrist. Ethan gently held her wrist and examined the bruise.

"I know, I'm so pathetic. I mean, all girls tell themselves that if a guy even yelled at them, it would be over. My boyfriend grabs my wrist and I forgive him. I'm-"

"You were just giving him the benefit of the doubt." Ethan said, not wanting her to blame herself.

"I mean, he did it because he was jealous, I didn't think he actually meant to hurt me." Naomi said, wiping at her cheeks with her free hand. Ethan let go of her wrist and put his arms around her shoulders, hugging her and planting a kiss on her forehead.

At the end of the day Kira stood at her locker putting her books in. Conner came up behind her and wrapped his arms around her and kissed her cheek.

"Hey, hurry up. I'm driving you home today." He smiled. Kira looked at him.

"What happened to soccer practice?" She asked, grabbing her bag and swinging it onto her back. Conner shrugged.

"They canceled...Strange." he replied. Kira nodded as they walked out into the parking lot. Trent was a short distance away, watching Conner's car. He smiled as Conner went to get in, but his smile turned into an entire face of horror when Kira opened the door. Trent ran over to the car and grabbed Kira's arm.

"Don't go with him!" Trent remarked. Kira tried to wrangle her arm away from Trent.

"Let go." She snarled. Conner climbed out of the car and looked at Trent.

"If you don't let her go now, I'll come over there and beat the crap outta you Trent." He snarled dangerously. Trent let Kira's arm go.

"Fine." he replied, dejected. He turned away and watched Kira climb into Conner's car. Conner waited till Trent was a safe distance away before he climbed back in and threw the car into reverse and sped out of the parking lot. Trent watched them leave.

"Kira, I'm so sorry...."

"Oh, funny you're not apologizing to me." Came a cold voice. Trent spun around to see Naomi standing there.

"What the hell do you want?" He growled. Naomi suddenly regretted coming to talk to him alone.

"All this time you've been acting jealous about me and Ethan and you just been harboring feelings for Kira." She said. Trent slowly stalked up to her.

"I don't know what you're talking about." He said. Naomi blinked and took a step back.

"Whatever. I just thought you should know, it's over." She said. Trent eyes glowed with anger. He closed the gap between them and roughly grabbed her arms.

"I don't think so."

"Let me go."

"No one dumps me. It's not over until I say it's over." He snarled. He pushed her away and stalked off. Naomi drew in a shaky breath.

Kira and Conner were driving relatively fast through the outskirt streets of Reefside. Conner figured that since the streets of Reefside would be packed with the incoming traffic of people getting out of school or work. Conner was speeding alone nicely. They were approaching Kira's street and he went to tap the breaks to slow down, when his foot just went forward, and the car kept speeding along. Conner's eyes widened. Kira frowned slightly as they sped past her street.

"Conner, you missed my street." She commented. She turned and looked at Conner, who's face was ghostly white.

"Kira, the brakes are gone......" Conner said. Kira's eyes widened.

Tommy and Trini walked into his house to the sound of the phone ringing.

"I'll get it!" Trini said. Tommy gently stopped her.

"Hey, how about you go and get started on your homework and I'll get it?" He said, handing Trini her book-bag. Tommy smiled and went to the phone. "Hello?" He said.

"Tommy." Came Kimberly's sad voice. "You've got to get down here to the hospital."

"Why, what's wrong? Is it Jason?" Tommy asked, worried.

"T-There's been an accident, Tommy. Conner and Kira were just brought in." She said softly. Tommy's heart stopped.

"I'll be right there." Tommy said, hanging up the phone.
