Kim exited the shower, Tommy had left about 30 minutes before hand, he had to have a shower himself and get ready for Kira's gig. They decided to meet up there with the rest of Tommy's "team". Kim had to laugh to herself. Tommy had certainly gotten himself into some weird stuff. He was a ranger again, and his team was nearly half his age.

Kim walked into her room and went to her closet. She wanted to look nice, but she didn't want to seem like she was trying too hard. Her and Tommy decided to start over, but they were going to start off as friends first, get to know each other again, and see if they still had feelings for each other. She knew she loved Tommy Oliver, but she didn't know who Dr. Tommy Oliver was. So many things have changed in their lives. Her most of all.

She knows that her reasons for sending the letter were wrong, now. Kat had been playing in her insecurities to try and break her and Tommy up, and it had worked. She didn't know what she would do if she were to see Kat again. She had caused both her and Tommy so much unneeded pain, but she wasn't the only one. She knew why Tommy stopped talking to her, she gave him no reason to, her so called friends, she didn't understand their reasoning for abandoning her.

She sighed, tonight she wanted to forget her past and move on. She was in a new town, she had a good job, and her and Tommy were trying to rebuild something, she still wasn't sure what it was. She picked out a pink t-shirt and a black hoodie with a pair of stone washed jeans. She smiled, perfect, casual but presentable, especially for a gig at a café. She put the clothes on her bed and went to pick out a pair of shoes, hmm, running shoes… no… boots… no… black stilettos… perfect. She pulled them out and went to her bed.

She looked down at her bed and saw Tommy's sweater, she gave a small laugh, leave it to Tommy to give me a sweater I bought for him She remembered giving it to him after he became the White Ranger. Tommy was never fond of shopping, so she said she would pick him up some clothes on one of her shopping sprees with Aisha.

She would have to remember to bring the sweater with her to give back to him, he always loved wearing it when they were in high school, she smiled at the thought that he still had it.

Kim quickly shakes off her thoughts of Tommy and gets dressed, before she heads back into the bathroom to do her hair and makeup. Hopefully Tommy will be pleased when he sees her. Why does it matter if Tommy approves of your attire or not? It's not a date, just two friends going to show their support for a student. Get a hold of yourself Kim! With that she finished getting dressed and headed into the bathroom.

Tommy stepped out of the shower and smiled to himself, he had left Kim to get ready for Kira's gig tonight. They had agreed to meet there and watch, Tommy was happy to spend time with Kim, but he also couldn't hide his nervousness. It had been almost 10 years since they last "hung-out" together, he hoped it wouldn't be awkward.

They had worked out some issues, not all of them, but enough for Kim to get past her anger towards him, and he towards her. He was happy that Kira yelled at him and told him to go after Kim. Some how, things seem to make sense, Kim's letter, no one talking about her.

He didn't know what the rest of the gang's reasoning for not speaking to Kim, he didn't get it, he was closer to Jason and all them, they all knew each other from grade school, you'd think if Jason weren't going to talk to someone, it would be him. He would have to call Jason later and ask him. He needed to understand her friends could stop talking to her, Kim needed to know as well.

Then there was Kat. How could she have done that to him and Kim? Purposefully trying to break them up, only to have him turn to her, and them start dating. It was twisted and wrong, and next time he saw her or talked to her, she was going to get an ear full.

Ok Tommy, forget about the past for the night, it will be there when you get home, you don't want to be late for Kira's gig, again. He laughed, his tendency for being late had never left him, though he was pretty good for getting to school on time, everything else, he would always be late, and everyone knew he would be too. Some things never change.

He went to his closet and searched for some clean clothes. He wanted to be presentable for Kim, he knew it wasn't a date, they had decided to try and be friends first, before they jumped back into a relationship. Which was the right thing to do, they had both changed been through so much. But he knew he still loved her. Holding her in his arms had felt so right, he didn't want to let her go. Even though they were just going to be friends, for now, he wanted to look good, and hopefully have some other girls hit on him, to try and make Kim a little jealous.

He couldn't help but laugh, whenever he and Kim would go out, she would always dress to impress, and he would always be giving every guy they passed the death glare. Sometimes he knew Kim was doing it on purpose, just to get a rise out of him, and others, he knew it was simply because she was beautiful. How he had ever been lucky enough to get with her, he will never know, and now that they may have a second chance, he wasn't going to give it up.

He picked out a pair of cargo style black jeans, and a tight black t-shirt. The thing about living in California, you didn't need to wear a lot of layers. He looked at the clock, almost time. Just have to get dressed, style my hair, and go. He got dressed quickly and went to the bathroom to spike his hair. He'll never know what possessed him to cut off his hair, but he kinda liked it short, it suited him, at least now it did. He didn't wear his earring much, thought it wouldn't be appropriate for a high school science teacher to have an earring or two, maybe tonight he would wear them. Kim always thought they were sexy He had to laugh at that thought.

He looked in the mirror and smiled, Perfect. He slipped his earrings in and grabbed his jacket. He walked down the stairs and picked up his keys. Slowly he made his way to his car, he was now feeling more excited then nervous to see Kim, he hoped she approved of his choice of clothes. He made his way down his laneway, and began to head for the Cybercafe.
