Summary: This may be out of order in whatever way, but hey, its my story, I get to decide how it goes. ;-) Sorry if it takes a while for me to get it posted, but I've been writing it in whatever time I get between classes and stuff and I'm laptop less so its all scribbled down on paper and I've actually gotta find time to type it all up. But hopefully I'll find enough time somewhere. =) Happy Reading!

Pool Side





Next Day . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .. . .



Kimberly bounded down the stairs as her doorbell rang, to find Tommy outside waiting for her.



"Hey Tommy!" she said kissing him.



"Hey! My parents are officially gone on vacation!"



"Awesome!"



"You look great! I'm glad you got that outfit." Tommy said looking over the pink tube top and denim skirt.



"I wasn't going to, but Tini thought I should since you liked it so much."



"Trini is very wise!" Tommy said smiling, as he entered the house.



"So, what's up?" Kimberly asked as Tommy slid his arms around her, pulling her close.



"Nothing! Just thought I'd come over like you suggested yesterday. But if you've got plans, I'll go."



"No, I'm all yours!"



"Oh good! Cause I was thinking we could spend the weekend together . . ."



"Works for me!"



"Cool! So, what would you like to do?"



"Whatever you want! But I'm betting your vote is for my pool . . ."



"How did you know?"



"Yours needs a new filter . . . . ."



"Yeah, pool man doesn't come 'till Wednesday."



"Well its open!" Kimberly said with a smile as she took a step back from Tommy.



"You're coming with me, right?"



"Would you like me to?"



"Yes please!"



"How about this . . . I'm feeling cute right now, and I really don't want to change, so you can swim and I'll sit on the edge and watch you . . . . ."



"Kimberly . . ."



"I'll get in eventually. But I just got dressed. I'd like to enjoy looking cute for a while."



"Ok." Tommy agreed. "You win. You can watch if you want to."



"Thank you!"



"You're beautiful, you know that?"



"Yeah, you like telling me."



"I love you Kimberly."



"I love you too Tommy." Kimberly said standing on her tip toes to kiss him. "Why don't you go get in the pool, and I'll be out in a minute. I wanna go grab a soda."



"Ok. I'll be waiting." Tommy said kissing her again, then heading outside to the pool.



"How's the water?" Kimberly asked, coming outside a couple minutes later.



"Its perfect! You should join me."



"I will in a while." she said sitting down on the edge of the pool, hanging her feet over the edge, into the water.



"So, what should we do for Spring Break?"



"I don't now. We could hit the beach if you want. Jason wants to go scuba diving."



"We could do that. Or I was thinking maybe we could take a road trip . . .My grandparents are in Ontario an are dying to meet you. They have a huge house and lots of land. They've even got a lake in the backyard." Tommy told her.



"Sounds nice . . ."



"I'd like to take you there sometime. Whenever you want to go. They just want to meet the girl who makes me so happy . . ."



"Tommy, I don't know . . ."



"Its not anything bad, I promise! They just want to meet you. My grandmother called this morning to ask me to stay with them while my parents are gone, but I turned her down because I want to spend my spring break with you . . . . ." Tommy said moving closer to Kimberly. "All they want is to see me. And every time I drive down there, I'm miserable, because I miss you. They know you make me happy, and that's why the want to meet you . . ."



"Tommy, that's a big step . . . . . Parents are one thing. But grandparents . . . . . They're super critical! With my luck, I'd show up dressed wrong, looking wrong, and I'd say all the wrong things!"



"Kimberly . . . . ."



"I know, I just . . . . . "



"Sweetie, look at me . . ." Tommy said reaching out for her as he moved closer, gently placing his hands on the side of her legs. "Kimberly, I love you, you know that . . . You make me happier than I ever imagined possible, and I'd love for my grandparents and cousins, and everyone else I know, to meet you. But if you're not ready to take that step, I completely understand! So I'm not going to push you . . . But if you ever decide its ok for me to show you off, please let me know. I love bragging; especially when I have a good reason!"



"Tommy, its no that I don't want you showing me off, its just that I'm scared . . . I don't want to give your grandparents the wrong impression . . . Like if I were to walk in there right now, dressed the way I am, they'll think I'm a slut and try to convince you that you can do better . . ."



"Kim, if you waled in there, dressed the way you are, I'd be proud as heck!!!"



"Tommy, be serious!" she snapped.



"I am . . . You have a lot of guts! And I love that about you! And you know how beautiful you are . . . . ."



"Tommy . . . . ."



"I know, you're self conscious . . . . . But Kimberly, you have absolutely nothing to worry about! My grandparents will love you! Probably more than I do!"



" . . . . . I don't know . . . . ."



"OK, no pressure. But if you decide you wanna go, just tell me . . . But I promise you, they're gonna love you. You have nothing to worry about."



"I know. I'm just being self conscious."



"Well stop doing that then. You're perfect, and you know it!"



"No, I'm not perfect."



"Yes, you are! And its why I love you!" Tommy said putting his hands on the ground, on either side of Kimberly, and pushing up, lifting himself out of the water, and kissing his girlfriend.



"Tommy, you're all wet . . ." Kimberly said when he began to pull away.



"And I think you should join me." he said putting his arms around here, to pull her into the water.



"I'm not dressed for swimming."



"So! Come in anyway! You look fine!"



"Haha!"



"Then get those clothes off, and get in here!"



"Oh, you're funny now!" Kimberly told him.



"Seriously Kim, just come in with me. You don't' need to change."



"Yes, I do!"



"Oh please! Come on. All I want is to hold you in my arms. And since I'm all wet, you're gonna end up wet too. So you might as well just come in with me. I promise it won't kill you." he said pulling her over the edge, into his arms, and into the pool.



"Tommy, my new clothes . . . . ." Kimberly whined



"I'll buy you new ones . . ." he said leaning in to kiss her, as he pulled her close. Kimberly closed her eyes as Tommy slipped his tongue into her mouth, kissing her passionately, encasing her tightly in his arms.



"Knock knock!" a voice said all of a sudden. Kimberly pulled away from Tommy and turned to see Jason. "Hi!" Jason said smiling.



"How long have you been here?" Tommy asked.



"About 20 seconds. I saw your car outside, and the door was unlocked. So I figured you guys were in the pool since on one answered when I called your names."



"Hey Jase!" Kimberly said, trying to shield her embarrassment.



"Hi! Trini is on her way over with Zack and Billy. We thought we could all hang out today."



"Um, Sure!" Kimberly said looking to Tommy for approval.



"We were just gonna stay here for a while, and hang out." Tommy told him.



"I see that . . . . ." Jason said looking at his friends.



"Jase, its not what you think . . ." Kimberly told him.



"Yeah, its my fault." Tommy agreed. "We were joking around, and I threw her in, fully clothed. Kim, I'm sorry."



"Its ok . . . I guess maybe I'd better go get my suit on." she said moving toward the stairs. "Tommy, I'm gonna borrow your towel . . ."



"I'm not even going to comment . . ." Jason said after Kimberly was inside.



"Jase, really . . . . ." Tommy started.



"I know that excuse." Jason told him. "But really, I won't even ask. Its none of my business."



"Hey . . ." Kimberly said coming back outside a few minutes later, dressed in her bikini, with Tommy's towel wrapped around her waist. Tommy smiled and held his hand out for her, as he sat in a lawn chair, talking to Jason.



"I called Trini and told her we're swimming/" Jason said as Kimberly took Tommy's hand, and sat down next to him. "Trini said she'd grab some kind of food on her way over.



"Ok." Kimberly agreed



"I'm gonna run home to change, but I'll be back in a few minutes." Jason said getting up, and heading inside to the front door.



"I hate this." Kimberly said once Jason was gone.



"What's wrong?" Tommy asked.



"Everything! I was looking forward to a nice quiet day with you, and no everyone else is gonna be here! This isn't what I had planned!"



"Kim, I'm sorry. I had no idea . . . I wanted to spend the day with you too . . ."



"This sucks Tommy!"



"I know . . ."



"I blame Jason and Zack. Trini knows I wanted to spend some time alone with you . . ."



"So call Trini, I'm sure she'll take care of it."



"I can't . . ."



"But I can!" Tommy said in a serious voice. "Let's go call her." Tommy got up and headed inside to call Trini, as Kimberly sat looking after him. "Done!" he said coming back a couple minutes later, smiling brightly. "We're home free! She's calling Jason."



"What did you tell her?"



"Nothing actually. She apologized for Jason's intrusion. Apparently she told him not to bother us because she knew you had plans. So she's taking care of the situation."



"Oh cool! Remind me to thank her!" Kimberly said smiling.



"So I guess that leaves us, and those plans of yours . . ." Tommy said sitting down and pulling Kimberly into his arms.



"I don't have any plans, other than being with you . . . ." Kimberly told him.



"So . . . . Should we start where we left off then?" Tommy asked.



"I'm thinking its hot out here, and the water is nice . . . ."



"Ok . . . We can get back in . . ." Tommy agreed as Kimberly got up and headed toward the far end of the pool, dropping Tommy's towel from around her waist on the way.



"You coming?" Kimberly asked as she stood on the edge, looking across the pool to Tommy.



"Yeah." He said lifting his eyes from where he'd been staring, and heading towards Kimberly.



"Meet me at the waterfall." Kimberly said smiling, then dove in and swam to the far end of the pool. Tommy Quickly walked around the pool, and stepped in at the waterfall just as Kimberly got there. "Hi!" Kimberly said smiling brightly as Tommy pulled her into his arms.



"HI . . ." Tommy murmured with a gently smile, leaning into kiss his girlfriend. Kimberly smiled as Tommy encased her small figure in his muscular arms, pulling her as close to him as he could.



"Mmmmmm..........." Kimberly cooed as Tommy deepened the kiss. Kimberly squeezed her eyes closed as she melted in Tommy's arms. She could feel every muscle in his chest, and his beating heart, she was so close. Tommy softly moaned as Kimberly gently ran her hands through his hair. "I love you . . . . . ." Kimberly moaned into Tommy's mouth as they kissed.



"Mmmmm hmmmm . . . . . ." Tommy moaned back, pulling her closer. Kimberly felt Tommy's hands running up and down her back, over and over again, from her shoulders to her waist. Them back up and down, and up and down.



"Tommy . . . ." Kimberly said feeling a hardness against her left, but Tommy cut her off with more kisses. "Mmmmmmmmm............" she cooed again as Tommy's hands caressed her back. Kimberly slowly ran her fingers through Tommy's hair as he pulled her closer, sliding his hands down her back, over her hips, to her legs. "Tommy . . . . . ." she said again between kisses as the knot at the back of her neck came undone. Tommy ran his fingers through her hair, then moved back to caressing her back.



"Are you ok?" Tommy asked a minute later as Kimberly pulled away.



"I just need to catch my breath."



"Your heart is beating so fast." Tommy said as he gently kissed her forehead.



"So is yours . . . . . . . ."



"I love you Kim."



"I love you too Tommy." she said kissing him again.



" . . . Are you sure about this? . . ."



". . . . . uh huh . . . ." Kimberly murmured as she moved her hands down Tommy's back, to his waist.



"Kimberly . . . I need you to be positive . . . I want you . . . . . But I'll wait if you're not ready . . . . . . ."



" . . . . . I'm ready . . . . . I sear, I'm ready . . . . ."



"Are you sure?"



"Uh huh . . ."



"Ok . . ." Tommy said softly, kissing her forehead again. ". . . as long as you're sure . . ."



Kimberly sucked in a deep breath, slowly letting it out as she looked at Tommy. "Tommy? . . . . ." she said when he didn't do anything. " . . . . . Tommy? What's wrong?"



" . . . . . I don 't know . . . . . I just . . . . . I have a really bad feeling all of a sudden . . . . ."



" . . . . You changed your mind . . ." Kimberly said softly, her eyes dropping to the ground as she let go of him.



"No . . . Kim, I want you. I really do! . . . I just . . . . .Tommy started, but his voice trailed off as their communicators went off. " . . . . .Figures . . . . ." Tommy groaned as he rolled his eyes. "I knew that would happen!"



" . . . go . . ." Kimberly said softly, still not looking at Tommy.



"Kimberly, come on . . . . . Don't do this . . . . ."



" . . . . go . . . I'll be there in a minutes . . . . ."



" . . . . . Kim . . . . ." Tommy said as their communicators went off again. Kimberly still didn't look at him. Instead she grabbed onto her bikini top, , holding it to her chest, as she turned her back to Tommy. " . . . . . Zedd is gonna pay for this!" Tommy groaned as he let go of Kimberly, and turned to climb out of the pool. "Zordon, what's up?"



"Lord Zedd has attacked down town. " Alpha's frantic voice told him. "The other rangers are surrounded by putties, and there's a new monster with them."



"Where are they?"



"Angel's Bluff. Hurry Tommy! The others need you!"



"Kimberly and I are on our way." Tommy aid looking to see Kimberly slowly climbing out of the poor, and reach for her towel. "Kim, we've gotta go! The others need us at the bluff! Its Morphin Time!"
