Author's note: Sorry for the long wait guyz… School, that's all I can say… Toldya I'll be busy after the 5th.
Disclaimer: What really will happen if one day we forgotten about this? Just for the sake of it, I don't own anybody, except Annie and the new character in this chapter.
Anyway, here goes chapter 7"Here comes the 'Hart' of the group." Rocky chimed. In comes Kimberly through the door. Aisha quickly got up & gave her a hand.
"Thanks 'Sha"
"So how's your treatment going?"
"Great…. I've been undergoing the therapy for three months." She is currently undergoing some kind of therapy at the Angel Grove Memorial Hospital. * I mean although it hurts a little….ok..ok..a lot, but after this I could walk like normal again *
"So what brings you out here Kim?" asked Adam.
"Well, our company will be sponsoring the costumes for Zack's upcoming performance, so I got a few tickets to the dance. Since Zack also had some free tickets, we decided to invite you guys. Interested?"
"When is it?" Tommy inquired.
"Here, it's all stated on the tickets." Kimberly said as she passed out the tickets.
"Tan & I will be there." Stated Adam.
"Count us in." Rocky & Aisha said spontaneously.
"We'll show." Tommy said.
- Two weeks later: The dance night -
Such a coincidence that Tommy & Kimberly were seating next to each other that night. As though the others planned it.
"Wonder where's Jason?" asked a worried Kimberly.
"He'll be fine, Kim. He might just have forgotten bout the performance." Assured Tommy. "You know how busy he is right."
"Yeah, he & Trini both are workaholics." She smiled. "She has a meeting going on now."
* It's so NICE of you guys to make me sit in between of these two girls. * Tommy feels as though he had been squished in the middle by two walls. Kimberly on his left and Katherine on his right. The whole dance was watch in silence by the three of them. Katherine entwined her hand in his.
- The show was about to end -
Kimberly's whole body suddenly felt tensed. It was not gone unnoticed by Tommy. She stood up and made her way to the exit and leave a puzzled Tommy left wondering.
Katherine noticed Kim's absence. "Where's Kimberly?"
Tommy just shrugged. "I'll go check it out."
He went out to take a look and heard a familiar voice yelling.
"Which part of the phrase 'DON'T BOTHER ME AGAIN' you don't understand."
"Kimmie, why don't you give us a chance?"
"Get this right Jonathan, there was never an us, and will never be an us."
"What about Annie?"
Kimberly tensed at that. "I have no idea what are you talking about? LET GO OF ME!"
"Now, don't play dumb… I know all about her."
"You're hurting me. Let me go! You…" Kimberly said struggling.
"Hey! Didn't you understand? She said let her go." Came a voice.
"You don't want to get in trouble here, so I suggest you better leave." Jonathan hissed.
"Don't make me go over there." The voice responded
"Just get out of here. I know what I'm dealing with." Cried Kimberly.
"Are you going to release her or not." With anger rising in his tone.
"This is my problem tommy, I'll solve it myself."
"If you're able to, you won't be here in this situation."
"Just leave, I…. I don't need your help." She said thinking back of the past.
"SHUT UP! I've had enough with both of you bickering. So, you're Tommy?"
"Yeah, you've got a problem with it?" He answered. Still puzzled with the situation at hand.
"Not really. Besides the game has just only started." Jonathan answered with a sly grin.
"Lay off him Jon."
"Aw! Kimmie, don't worry. I'll see her soon." "You do know who right?" He whispered into her ear, then loosen his grip on her arm and back out into the dark.
"What was that all that about?" asked a concern Tommy as he went over to her.
"Nothing… Just some freak from Florida. You know how crazy people down there are," replied Kim as she started back for the entrance with some help from Tommy.
"No I don't…and that does not sound convincing." Still not buying the story.
"Well believe it or not, that's what happened." Kimberly replied in a harsh tone.
"So, how's your arm?" Tommy tries to loosen up the air by changing the subject.
"Believe me, I've been through worst" she whispered.
Before he had time to question about the statement, his cell phone rang. "Oliver," "The thing's over?" "Yeah, she's…. … fine." "We're near the entrance." "Ok. Bye Kat."
"What did you mean by you've been …" but was interrupted by the gang.
"Hey Kim, you're coming with me?" Asked Billy.
"Nah. I'll be going back." Kimberly replied.
"You're driving back? Its one & a half hours drive, isn't it a bit late?" Adam asked.
"I didn't even bring my car Adam. I'll be going back with Tom." All eyes were on Tommy at first and Kat tighten her grip until, "He should be here any second." As if on cue, a dark colored BMW came to a stop in front of them. Out came a good-looking French guy who was about their age.
"Hey Kim" he said as he ran up and gave her a peck on the cheek.
"Hey Tom!"
"Are you going to introduce these beau friends of yours here to the handsome me." Thomas says with a grin.
"Haha… Thomas Cheever. to-Ma if pronounced in French, but we just call him Tom" Receiving nods from her group of friends.
"Tommy Oliver, Katherine Sutherland, Billy Cranston, Tanya Sloan, Adam Park, Rocky De'Santos, & Aisha Campbell." She said as she pointed to each of them. "Zack and his girlfriend are still inside."
"Hate to end this meeting, but I think we better head home." Said Tom politely.
"Ok, I'll catch up with you guys soon." She said as she headed into the car with some help.
* So he's the one. * Thought Tommy. * Fine man he is *
"Not bad of a choice for Kim." "They look good together." Katherine said happily.
- The other side of town -
A drunken man was seen 'walking' out of a pub. He was trying to stable himself to continue walking but ended throwing up at the roadside. Trini saw his figure and thought that he seems somewhat familiar. So, she went up and offers some tissue.
"You ok?"
"Why! Why? Why did she do it?" came the reply, he puked again.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Sorry guyz, I hate to end it here but… … … …
Was this chapter a disappointment? … … I hope not.
Maybe you'll get kind off confused by both Tommy & Tom's names, I'm really sorry about that but I'm sticking to it cause of some reasons. Hope you all would not question me on that. But if you are confused by some other stuff, feel free to ask.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Thanks to all of you for your suggestions for me to improve, although you may not see the drastic changes now, but I'll try my best. Hope to hear from all of you soon.
