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!

The Miracles Of Cheating

~ ~ ~ 10 Minutes Later ~ ~ ~

"Ok, so what now?" Tommy asked as he parked his jeep and began walking around with Kimberly.

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

"Ok, well we'll just stick together then . . . . ."

"Kimberly!" a voice rang out from behind them.

"What was that?" she asked as they turned around.

"Kim, Tommy! Over here!"

"This is so weird." Tommy said as he and Kimberly cautiously followed the voice.

"Tommy wait!" Kimberly said as she suddenly stopped walking.

"Kim, what's wrong?"

"What if it's a trap?"

"I thought of that too. But we should at least check it out . . . Just give me your hand, and follow my lead."

"Tommy, we aren't rangers anymore."

"I know. But we've still got the power deep inside of us . . . If it's a trap, we can at least stand our ground."

"I'm scared."

"I know. I am too. But we can do this . . . Tome on, take my hand. Its going to be ok." Tommy said as he held his hand out for Kimberly. "Just take my hand, and don't let go unless I tell you to . . . Do you have your cell phone?"

"Uh huh." Kimberly answered nervously, as she reluctantly placed her hand in Tommy's.

"Oh . . . . . If we end up separated, call Jason and tell him to bring David."

"Ok . . . . ."

"And no matter what happens, I love you. Remember that, ok?"

"I love you too." she said softly as Tommy placed a gentle kiss on her lips, then began to lead her toward where they heard the voice. Kimberly stayed as close to Tommy as she could, holding his hand tight as they walked.

"Kim, stay right here . . ." Tommy said stopping next to a large rock. I wanna check this out before I let you become involved . . ."

"No. We have to stay together."

"I know. But I don't want you hurt. Stay right here until I come back for you." Kimberly swallowed the lump in her throat as she slowly let go of Tommy's hand. "Stay right here. Promise me!"

"Ok . . . . ." she agreed shakily. "Hurry Tommy."

"Tommy Oliver, its about time you got here! I need your help!" the voice said as Tommy rounded the rock. "Wait . . . . . Where's Kimberly?"

"Somewhere safe . . ."

"Tommy help me, Billy hurt his leg."

"Wait. How do I know this isn't a trap?"

"Because . . . Our plane was crashing and we didn't want to die. So Billy decided to save us by teleporting . . ."

"We had to. We couldn't die. But we couldn't save everyone, it would be way too fishy. We didn't have powers . . . And I didn't think we could teleport anyway, but it was worth a shot . . ." Billy explained.

"So he grabbed my hand and hit the button, and then the next thing we knew, we were falling out of the sky. Bully fell on the rock. I think his leg is broken . . ."

"Wait a second . . . You teleported off a crashing plane?"

"It was either teleport or die. And everyone else was dying anyway, so its not like anybody is going to know."

"Trini is right. I needed to live. So did Trini. The rangers need us . . . . ."

"This is crazy!" Tommy said running a nervous hand through his hair. "Kim!" he called, then turned and held out his hand as she slipped out from behind the rock.

"Oh My Gosh!" she gasped as she saw her two best friends. "Is it really you?!?"

"Hey Stranger!" Billy said cracking a smile. Its good to see ya!"

"I don't get it . . ." Kimberly said softly as Tommy slid his arm around her. "Zack told me you were on a plane . . . . ."

"Teleportation beams are good for escaping . . ." Trini told her. "I couldn't die in a plane crash, and leave my best friend here all alone."

"We cheated death." Billy added with a bemused smile.

"But why did you call us?" Tommy asked.

"Because Billy is the brainy one, and you have an excuse for everything. So we figured you two could come up with some excuse of how we're alive." Trini answered.

"You know, if we weren't so glad to see you I'd be offended by that!"

"We should call Jason." Kimberly said softly.

"Why don't we get you two home first . . ." Tommy suggested. "And we should probably get Billy to a doctor."

"Do you think you can walk Billy?" Trini asked.

"I don't know . . ."

"He shouldn't put any weight on his leg." Kimberly said seeing Billy's scratched up, swollen leg. "Tommy what are we going to do?"

"Maybe we should call Jason. My jeep is going to be pretty cramped. Especially with a broken leg. Jason at least has a bigger car."

~ ~ ~ 45 Minutes Later ~ ~ ~

"I still can't believe it." Kimberly said as she sat in the waiting room with Jason and Tommy.

"what are we supposed to tell people?" Tommy asked.

"Well, if we wait until the airports re-open, before Trini and billy go anywhere, we can use some excuse about mission the flight . . ." Jason suggested.

"Do you think it will work?"

"Who will know any different? They cheated death."

"True . . ." Tommy agreed as his phone rang. "Hello?"

"Tommy, Nana says dinner will be ready in 10 minutes."

"Ok. Thanks AnneMarie. See you in a little while." he said, then hung up.

"You guys should go." Jason told them. "You don't wan to arouse suspicion. Trini and Billy can stay with me for a few days. We'll figure something out."

"Are you sure?" Kimberly asked.

"I'm positive! Go, I'll call you later if they need anything."
