Slshadowfox: Well, he was lonely, as you pointed out to me. Kim's stalker will not be brought out in this story, but you can plan on him making an appearance in the next one. I promise. As for who will help her, you'll probably have to wait awhile to find out. Sorry :(
Now, on with the Story!
The Ball and The Proposal"Where are the girls?" Jason asked, starting to get worried as it was already 6:30 and they were no where to be found, as he had even gone and checked the parking lot, already. They had been waiting for the last few minutes and it was not getting any easier for them.
It, also, seemed that they all had a hard time getting away from their most recent signature color, which explained why Tommy decided on a simple white shirt under his gray suit, instead of one of his other, multiple, colors. Besides, he didn't think it would do him any good to wear red, as Kim had never been a ranger with him while he was that color and he wanted her to remember the good times, not the bad.
"They'll be here," Zack reassured, as he, as well as, Billy, Rocky, and Adam grinned at how nervous Jason and Tommy were acting. The two of them are a hilarious site to see when this nervous, but they were also deadly if they were to be ticked off, by anyone, at the moment. They knew that they did not need to risk it and they knew that these guys were really trying to get what they always needed, which they had to respect. None of them had the guts to dare to do that yet. "Don't worry about it."
"I'll try not to," Tommy said, as Principal Strigner walked in with four of the six ladies. He immediately noticed that Kim and Trini were missing, and began wondering what could be keeping them from coming on inside.
Kim surely wouldn't be nervous about seeing him, but Trini might be more than a little apprehensive about seeing Jason right now. If she felt even a tenth of how he did for Kim, he didn't blame her for being this worried. The first time he asked Kim out, he almost had a nervous breakdown and could imagine Trini feeling the same way, although she wasn't planning to ask Jason out, yet, but she was getting very impatient with him.
"Where are Kim and Trini?" Jason asked, as the others now had their lady at their side.
Tommy was standing behind him, watching the door like a hawk, but they still did not emerge from it, no matter how much he silently willed them to do so. By now he was positively sure that Trini had gotten scared of seeing Jason and Kim was having to convince her that she should come inside, which was pure torture for him, as he just wanted to see her right now.
"Kim is trying to convince Trini that she looks fine," Aisha said, as Zack slipped an arm around her and grimaced when he heard those words. He knew Jason was not going to like that, as he looked down at Aisha. She was wearing a gold, strapless, knee length dress with gold heels and gold necklace to match.
Trini had gotten more nervous, the closer they had gotten to the gym and was now refusing to enter the gym, at all. She just didn't want to have to deal with Jason. Kim had ordered them to come on inside and was trying to get Trini to come in out of her own will, but they all knew she would resort to some other tactics if that didn't work soon, as Tommy was bound to run out of patience at sometime.
"Why? Trini has always looked fine," Jason said, as several glances were thrown his way, without him noticing. He was too enthralled with not seeing Trini, that he didn't notice the suspicious gazes being cast his way. Did he really think that this had nothing to do with him? He had known her for so many years that it made no sense why he wouldn't think that this involved him. Of course, he seemed to be a little dense on this whole situation, which didn't help things any.
"Well, you haven't exactly helped her self-esteem lately, Jason," Kat said, as she was wearing a light pink, spaghetti strap dress that reached her mid-calf with a pink pair of heels. Adam was standing behind her and could see that Jason was feeling guilty for his actions, as of late.
Jason had told all of them that he just didn't know how to act around Trini anymore, knowing exactly how he felt for her and he was afraid of messing all of it up. What he didn't know was that he was playing with dynamite by not speaking to Trini and all of the others were too afraid to tell him that, for fear that they would receive his anger, which was something none of them wanted to deal with.
"I'll go talk to her," Jason said, as Ally, Aisha, Kat, and Hayley all adamantly shook their heads no.
They weren't sure if Jason could handle it right now. Trini had been very moody that afternoon and if she was mad at the moment, she could hurt him more than they could imagine. They didn't want that to happen, not when it was so close to being resolved.
"Jason, she doesn't want to talk to you. She doesn't even want to see you, she's scared to see you," Kat said, as Jason's expression showed the deep hurt he was feeling. Jason had never been one to show his emotions but all of the other rangers were shocked by Trini's actions, as well. Although, they knew that Kim would get her to come inside, even if it did take some prodding or her being forcibly moved into the gym. Kim would do either if she needed to, but even that might not be enough to get them to talk to each other.
"I have to see her," Jason said, pacing around before deciding he didn't care what they said.
He was going to go talk to her, now, even if it wasn't the smartest thing to do. He turned himself towards the door and quickly made his way towards the awning before, disappearing under the first seam he came to. Now all he had to do was tell her, everything. He wasn't going to keep anymore secrets from her; there was no use in it anymore.
"Are you Tommy?" Ally asked, as Rocky slipped an arm around her. This boy seemed to know how to make her feel comfortable and she could surely get used to this. Even if it did mean a little additional teasing from her grandmother, it was definitely worth it this time. She was really starting to fall, hard, and she could only hope that he was feeling the same.
"Yeah. You must be Ally," Tommy said, noticing the new face in the crowd of his friends. She seemed to be nice and seemed to pity Tommy, although he did not know why she would.
"Sorry about what she put you through," Ally said, as Rocky smiled down at her. She was great for him, if only he would not scare her away this time, like he had some of his other girlfriends in the past with his ranger duties.
"Don't worry about that. I have a way to make it up to her," Tommy said, pulling out the little box and letting Ally in on the secret, the rest of them already knew about. Her eyes widened in shock and she looked up at Rocky for conformation of what she was thinking.
This boy was definitely everything that Kim had said he was and much more from what it looked like. Now it made sense why she loved him so much. But it didn't help explain why she would have ever thought to write the damn letter or gone through with it. It was obvious to her that Tommy could have never had another girl, except Kim, which she surely knew now.
"Yes, he's going to propose tonight," Rocky said, with a smile, as she still stared up at him. "But that's just our little secret."
"Okay," Ally said and watched Tommy stow the box back in his right pocket, before they heard the doors being forced open and Kim's voice ring out.
"Trini, you look great and Jason is going to be speechless," Kim said, being forced to resort to dragging her best friend into the gym. Kim had grabbed one of Trini's hands and was now walking backwards into the gym, while struggling to keep Trini heading in that direction.
She seemed determined to not set one foot inside of that gym, knowing Jason was in there, but she was about to have a rude awakening as she stumbled inside of it, with Kim having a look of triumph fall across her features. At least she had gotten her this far, now she just wondered if she could get her to the end of the arbor awnings and out in front of Jason. So he could talk some sense into her.
"Yeah, but I don't even know if Jason cares anymore," Trini said, as she finally gave up her struggling and started walking normally. She was so mad at him, but her mind could not let her stay that way long, as she was mainly upset that they hadn't talked things out, like she wanted to.
She then saw Jason walking towards her, in a black suit with a red button up shirt. His eyes had widened dramatically when they focused on her and she could feel her cheeks reddening with the way that he was looking her over. She knew what he was thinking and the feeling she got in the pit of her stomach let her know that Jason cared, a lot.
"Trini, why didn't you…why were you… can I give you a hug?" Jason asked stuttering out the questions and then threw his arms around her, before she even got a chance to answer him.
Trini was shocked by Jason's actions, but quickly returned his embrace, settling her head on his shoulder. She could feel him pulling her closer, before he settled his one of his hands on the back of her head and the other on the small of her back. They stood this way for awhile, before Trini decided that they needed to talk about everything, now.
"Jason," Trini said, tentatively lifting her head off his shoulder and looking up to see that she had Jason's full attention. There also seemed to be something else in his eyes, but she couldn't figure out what it was by just looking at him.
"Yeah, Trini?" Jason asked, as Kim slipped out from under the fabric awning. She knew that it was best if she did not witness what was going on, because both of them would be furious and it would be fun to speculate what actually happened until the two of them got annoyed enough to tell them the truth.
"What did you need to tell me after you woke up?" Trini asked, as she tried to regulate her breathing, but failed miserably. She felt her heart beat quicken, as he took both of her hands and stared at them for a few moments before starting to talk to her.
"That I…I," Jason said and took a deep breath, then looked her square in the eyes, praying that his friends had been right. If not, he would be eating his words and that was something he did not want to experience. "I love you. I know this is sudden, but you need to know, about everything."
"Jason, have you done something?" Trini asked, as he shook his head no. He hadn't done anything, but he knew that Trini needed to know about the fear he had seen before fighting the amephors. She needed to know why it had taken him ten years to tell her the truth and why the fear of her finding out from someone else drove him to what he was doing now.
"Trini, it was my fear, my fear of you being captured and taken away from me, Trini. I never really thought all of this would happen and when it did, I was devastated," Jason said, as he did something he had rarely ever done before, cry. He then let go of one of her hands and reached out to touch her cheek, only this time she didn't vanish away, as she had the last time he had done this. "Trini, Kim and Tommy know all of this, because they saw it. So, there was no use in me denying it anymore, I've wasted ten years trying to act like I don't care, like I don't love you. Trini, I know I've been stupid for taking so long, please forgive me and would you just consider going on a date sometime?"
"Is tonight alright?" Trini asked, as Jason's face broke into a broad grin and he gave her a kiss on the cheek. He could only thank God that she felt the same about him. "I take that as a yes."
"Now, what do you think Kim is going to do when Tommy?" Jason asked, leaving the question hanging, while putting an arm around Trini. He knew that there was no need to say the rest and he wanted to make sure that Kim didn't get any heads up about it, then they wouldn't have the fun of seeing her shocked.
"I don't know," Trini said, looking up at Jason, who held a smile that could only be mirrored by hers at the moment. "You know they are going to ask why you are so happy."
"They all knew what I was planning. They'll put together the missing pieces," Jason said, as they emerged from the entrance that the guests would be using later on that evening. "Ya'll did a good job."
"We had good help," Trini said, as they walked into the semi-dark gym. The tables that had been purchased were draped in navy blue fabric. The circular tables were covered in periwinkle fabric and the drink fountains sat in the middle, while the flower arrangements were placed in strategic locations. The rest of the gym's décor stayed the same, although there was some fabric flowing over the balcony.
"Trini, are you willing to help take up money?" Principal Strigner asked and then smiled, as she shook her head no. Trini did not like to let the principal down, but Ernie was bound to show up sometime and he would be more than willing to help take up money. "That's fine, I'm sure one of the other teachers will be willing to help out or Ernie when he finally gets here."
"Tommy, are you alright?" Kim asked, noticing his hands were shaking and he seemed to have been off in Tommy-land for a while. He hadn't noticed when she walked into the gym and seemed to still be scanning around the room for her, but he never looked right in front of him, where she had been standing for the last five minutes.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Tommy said, as he looked down at Kim. He expected to see her in some shade of pink, but found her wearing the white dress she had bought only days ago. The others had noticed the color change and watched as Tommy went into slight shock before coming back to reality. "What's with the color change?"
"Thought you might enjoy it," Kim said with a sly grin at his reaction. Some of the other girls had decided to make small wagers on how Tommy would react and right now Hayley was grinning at her small victory. She knew that Tommy didn't want to be shocked tonight, but he already had been and was taking it as best as could be expected, although he was very weak in the knees.
"Wow," Tommy said and Kim giggled as he gave her a hug, seeing her in his signature color sure threw him for a loop. He was just glad that he was somehow managing to keep his knees from buckling.
"So you like it?" Kim asked, as Tommy kept looking at her with a sense of awe present in his eyes. She had somehow managed to match the ring he planned to give her that night and he had the sneaking suspicion that Trini might have helped in matching the dress to the ring, even if Kim didn't have the slightest clue about it.
"No, I don't like it," Tommy said, pulling Kim closer to him and whispering in her ear, "I love it."
"Good," Kim said and felt someone pulling her away from Tommy. Kat and Hayley had decided that in order to keep the two of them from making out in front of the others it would be best to preoccupy Kim with some last minute details.
"You will have time for that later," Kat said, with a smile towards Tommy. She then pulled Kim towards the punch bowl, which still needed to be filled. "Come on, Kim."
"Kat, why are you doing this?" Kim asked, not very happy to be pulled away from Tommy. She could still feel his stare on the back of her head and knew that he had not been able to take his eyes off of her, yet.
"To give the boy sometime to think," Kat said, as she noticed Tommy was still staring at Kim. Well, she guessed some things would never change. Kim had always seemed to have that affect on Tommy, even when Kat was dating him.
"What does that have to do with anything?" Kim asked, utterly confused, but she soon was bombarded by the last minute changes she thought necessary and forgot about her question, which gave Kat the chance to slip away from Kim.
"Thanks, Kat," Tommy said, grateful to not have to be around Kim. She would surely figure out how nervous he was and he didn't want to go through the questions, especially when he wasn't sure what his lie would be this time.
"Your welcome," Kat said, as Adam walked up behind her and put his arms around her waist. The two of them were certainly much more comfortable with each other than they had ever been with any other person and it showed.
"Don't say that. You'll be running interference for me all night," Tommy said, fiddling with the velvet box in his right pocket.
He was becoming more worried, now that some of the guests were beginning to show up. He knew that he would only have one chance to do this and he had a certain song that the deejay was supposed to play for him. The deejay knew that he needed to wait until about halfway through the dance, when it would be so crowded that not too many people would notice what he was doing or so he thought.
"No we won't, because you'll be dancing all night," Zack said, rather pointedly, as Tommy looked at him and just shook his head. Tommy may have never liked to dance, but he had always done odd things, for Kim.
"Zack, you know I hate to dance," Tommy said, as it was starting to become slightly crowded. "I better go find Kim, I don't want to spend half the night looking for her."
"Don't blame you," Billy called after Tommy, as he disappeared into the small crowd of people. "He's really nervous."
"Wouldn't you be nervous if you were proposing to the person you want to marry?" Hayley asked, as Billy gave her a smile before nodding his head yes. He knew all to well that he would have been a nervous wreck and that Tommy was holding up well, compared to how some of them would be acting.
"Mr. Oliver, what are you doing here?" Tanya asked, as her teacher brushed past her. He sure looked nervous and that surprised her, considering that he did not seem nervous on the first day he ever taught at Reefside. She also hadn't heard of a certain engagement, so it was possible that was why he was so nervous, but she couldn't see why he was going to do this in front of so many students.
"I guess you can say I'm one of the hosts of this thing," Tommy said, not noticing the other female students that were gazing rather intently at him. He knew Tanya would not pry too far into the matter and when he found Kim, the other girls would definitely leave him alone, if they would only use their brains. Of course, they sometimes seemed to think that he was their age and he was constantly reminding them that he was a good bit older than them, but to no avail.
"Well, don't look so uptight. You're supposed to have fun, too," Tanya said with a smile and noticed her date was becoming rather impatient. "Have a good time, Mr. Oliver."
"You too, Tanya," Tommy said and then continued on his way through the crowd of students. He just had to spot Kim soon or one of his students might do something drastic, then he would definitely be in trouble, as him being nervous, made his temper close to the top of his emotional array of reactions.
"Tommy," Kim said, walking up behind him and tapping him on the shoulder. "I'm glad I found you, you better watch out for some of your students. They've had their eyes on you already."
"Kim, don't worry about me. My students know how to act and if they don't, I'll just show you to them. They should get the point after that," Tommy said, putting an arm around her shoulders and escorting her to the side of the gym. Neither of them felt that this ball was really for them and they wanted to let the kids enjoy it. So they passed the next hour or so, catching up for lost time and occasionally talking to a passing student. At about 8:30, a song came on that neither could stay on the wall to listen to and they decided to go into the middle of the dance floor.
"Tommy, why are you so nervous?" Kim asked, looking up at Tommy as they swayed back and forth to the song. This song went a lot deeper with the two of them than it would most others. They were just glad that they had gotten a second go at it and that the heartbreaks had been worth it, however unecessary they were.
"No reason," Tommy said, praying Kim didn't feel how sweaty his hands had become or hear his rapid heartbeat, as her head leaned against his shoulder.
The calmness that he usually had, with anyone, had disappeared the second this song had started playing. The other rangers knew, but she didn't and that was the scariest thing he had ever known. Next to, the fact that he knew the song was going to end in about two minutes and then he would find out if this was really meant to be.
"Alright," Kim said, knowing he was lying to her, but let it go. He had never lied to her before and not had an explanation for it later, only this time he seemed really nervous, which didn't make sense.
"Look at them," Kat said, pointing it out to Billy, who was standing closest to her. They had all situated themselves on one wall and were watching as the couple danced. They looked so happy, but they knew that they would be happier in about a minute and a half.
"Oh, boy. Looks like he is about to pop the question," Billy said, as the song came to a sudden end and a hip-hop song soon replaced it. They all exchanged a glance, as the floor became more crowded and they lost sight of Tommy and Kim. So much for them being able to see what happened.
"Kim, there's something we need to talk about," Tommy said, hearing the tempo change, but not being able to uproot his feet from their spot of the dance floor. He knew that he was going to have to do this, here, now. There was no more time to look back at what had happened in the past, he only had time to look to the future. Hoping that it would be a future with Kim in it.
"What do we need to talk about?" Kim asked, trying to pull him off the dance floor and finding that he was not planning to move until they had this conversation. Kim started to worry, but then spotted the other rangers and saw that they were smiling at the two of them. What in the world did Tommy have planned? "You want to talk about it here?"
"Yes, Kim," Tommy said, knowing he had better start talking soon or he'd lose what little courage he had built up over the past few weeks. "After everything that has happened between us, I never thought I would get a chance to see you again, much less have this again. There is so much left that I want to discover with you and no one else. Will you please marry me?"
"Tommy?" Kim asked, with wide eyes as the teenage couples that had been in the vicinity waited for her to answer. This was their teacher and this could certainly have repercussions, either way, but they were mostly concerned about what would happen if she said no. They did not want to have to deal with a depressed science teacher for the remainder of the semester, since they knew he would be leaving after Christmas, which was a shame. "You really want to? You trust me again?"
"Kim, I do trust you and I really want to have you in my life," Tommy said and he could tell Kim's brain was working overtime to try to comprehend what he had said. If she thought he was joking, he'd have to do the one thing he hadn't done, get down on one knee and pull out the box. He then decided to not make her second guess any more and did just that. "Will you?"
"Yes," Kim said, looking at the ring he had gotten for her and smiling. He knew her better than anyone else and she now had a good idea where he had gone the first night they were in Reefside. No wonder it had taken him so long to get to the buffet.
"What did she say?" Trini asked, trying to see what had happened, but it seemed that the students had formed a protective barrier around their teacher, which made it impossible for anyone to see what had happened.
"I don't know," Rocky said, trying to look over the crowd. "I'm sure we'll find out soon enough."
"I can't wait," Jason said and pulled Trini along with him towards the center of the dance floor. The others stood there in shock. When had Jason talked to Trini? None of them had witnessed this, but by the way, they were acting, Trini now knew the whole truth and had happily accepted Jason's proposal to date.
"When did that happen or am I just really slow?" Ally asked, as the others were pulled back into reality by this question.
"You're not slow," Hayley said, with a smile. "And none of us know when that happened. Do you think they'll be able to find Kim and Tommy?"
"Jason could find Kim in the middle of a pack of gymnasts, I think he can handle a couple of high schoolers," Ally said, remembering the day Jason had showed up at the gym, much to Coach Schimdt's dislike. Jason, however, didn't seem to care and made a beeline towards Kim before even seeing her face.
That was when she had been dragged back to Angel Grove, for some sort of important business and it almost cost her, her spot on the team. Ally had always wondered if it would have been better for Kim to stay in Angel Grove, but every time she asked, Kim would simply say that 'she choose this and she'd have to live with it.' What could you say to something like that?
"Why aren't you dancing?" Zack asked, running up to the others. Aisha and he had been dancing the whole night, but had scarcely seen the others out on the dance floor.
"We were trying to watch Tommy propose, but there were too many people in our way," Kat said, as Zack's eyes glittered. They had all been excited about seeing this, but Zack seemed to know something that the rest of them did not know, yet.
"Well, according to some of the kids, Mr. Oliver's not available anymore and the boys feel a loss as well. They thought Kim was a little bit younger. Does that answer your question?" Zack asked, as they all smiled.
"She said, yes?" Ally clarified, as Zack nodded his head and Ally turned around and gave Rocky a hug. Rocky was a bit surprised, but he soon got into the spirit of things as the others began celebrating. Hayley, was now dragging Billy in the direction Jason and Trini had disappeared a few minutes ago, while Kat and Adam were both smiling.
"Glad I could liven this up for all of you," Zack said, starting to walk backwards, towards the dance floor. "Now, if you don't mind I'm going back to dancing."
"Have fun, Zack and we'll meet you at Tommy's later on this evening," Adam said, as Zack ran off. "Kat, are you alright?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. I'm just glad that the two of them will finally be happy," Kat said and Adam pulled her closer to his side. She was happy for them, but it did hurt knowing that Tommy had been hers for a little while and what a great guy Kim was getting, although Adam sure did look really good to her now. It's funny how things turn out, especially at moments like this.
"Me too, Kat. Me too," Adam said.
"Kim!" Jason yelled, as Trini and he made their way through the teenagers' barrier. Tommy was just standing up and Kim seemed to be close to fainting, but was somehow managing to keep herself from doing that. Neither seemed to notice nor care about the crowd that had gathered around them, as Tommy enveloped Kim in a hungry kiss, before looking at the students and blushing a shade of red that rivaled Jason's shirt.
"Jason, what are you doing?" Kim asked, as he put his hands over Tommy's face. If Kim hadn't known any better, she would have thought Jason was about to kiss Tommy, but instead he turned to give Trini a kiss, which shocked both Kim and Tommy.
"We came to ask what your answer was," Trini said, looking over at the two of them, while Jason continued to try to kiss her again. Trini somehow managed to get out of his embrace only long enough for Jason to notice that Kim and Tommy were both staring at him. They had never seen Jason act like this before and it looked like they were expecting an explanation for his actions.
"It was yes," Kim said, holding out her hand for Trini to see the ring.
"I don't need to see the ring," Trini said, looking over at Tommy and saw him smiling at how his friends were acting. "I just needed to make sure we wouldn't have to take you to the Psyche Ward tonight."
"Trini, why would you need to take me to the Psyche Ward?" Kim asked, as the other three laughed. Zack's promise was ringing loud and clear in their minds and they were happy he would not have to do that anymore.
"Just something Zack promised we would do a few weeks ago," Jason said, as he saw Kim scanning the crowd for Zack. She looked ready to hunt him down and demand an explanation, but that was not going to happen if they had anything to do with it.
"It's not that bad, Kim," Tommy said, putting an arm around her and pulling her until she was directly in front of him, before wrapping his arms around her waist and settling his chin on top of her head.
"Alright," Kim said, as she saw a student heading their way. She didn't recognize this student, but that didn't surprise her at all. She didn't teach here, so she assumed that this student knew Tommy, somehow.
"Mr. Oliver," Cassidy said, walking up to the high school teacher. She was currently in the eighth grade, but had been invited by one of the ninth grade students. Her trusty cameraman was only a few feet away, this was top news, not only for the high school. Several middle school students had been looking forward to meeting Mr. Oliver, but if he was planning on getting married, everyone deserved to know.
"Yes," Tommy said, trying to figure out who this student was. It was fairly obvious that it was not one of his students, but something about the girl made him extremely uneasy. She seemed to be up to no good and Tommy did not like the glint in her eye, as she started talking to him.
"Are you really going to get married?" Cassidy asked, as Kim spotted a camera from behind her.
"Yes," Tommy said, as he had noticed the camera as well. "But I'm not going to sit here and be interviewed about it. Now, go on back to dancing and don't try to make this front page news, alright?"
"Tommy, what has gotten into you?" Jason asked, as the four of them walked towards where the other rangers had been standing.
"She had a camera with her, Jason," Trini said, as Jason looked at her, completely puzzled. Why would someone want to interview Tommy about him being engaged? They had, had to deal with some nosy news reporters before, but this was just ridiculous.
"Hayley, can you slow down a little bit?" Billy asked, as they had already bumped into several students on their way to find Tommy and Kim.
"Billy, I will once we find them," Hayley said, stopping to give him a hug, before pulling him further into the crowd. They went on for about five more minutes until they found the four rangers and by then, it was almost time to end the dance, which they were thankful for. After the ball had ended, they all piled into various vehicles to head back to Tommy's house for a nice night in and with Nicarni-Aso gone; they weren't too worried about anything happening to them. It was going to be the first time they had all been together and not had Power Ranger duties hanging over their heads, which was bittersweet, to all of them.
AN: That is all for this chapter. I hope you enjoyed it and I hate to break the news to you, but there will only be two chapters after this, so I hope you like it. Please review!
