Aisha and Rocky where the first ones to wake up that morning. They decided that they would make breakfast for everyone before waking them up. Rocky was busy making scrambled eggs when Aisha noticed that the TV was still on.
"Guess Tommy forgot to turn the TV off last night." She laughed.
"Well you know Tommy and his memory, he was probably to busy carrying Kim up to bed. Remind me never to drink against her, she's a tank." Rocky laughed.
"No shit." She laughed, "I'm going to see if I can find something more interesting for us to listen to while we cook."
He laughed, "While we cook? Just stay away from the discovery channel."
She grinned, "I think that's more Tommy's forte."
He grimaced, "Thanks for the visual babe."
"Glad to help."
Aisha walked into the living room and paused.
"Oh my God." She yelled.
Rocky came into the living room to see what made his girlfriend yell. Before he could say anything Aisha pointed to the couch and began laughing.
"Oh my" he said before joining Aisha in laughing at the scene before them.
Sensing there were other people in the room, Tommy bolted up from his position, which cause the sleeping figure laying on him to fall to the ground.
"Smooth moves dino-boy" Rocky laughed.
He quickly moved to help her off the floor, and as he was doing so he saw the confused and panic look in her face.
"What…. Where… what…" she stammered.
She looked up at Tommy, then the images from the previous night came flooring to the front of her mind. The kissing. Her hand quickly made its way to her mouth.
"I'm sorry." she said, as the tears began to form in her eyes, as she ran for the door, leaving her friends to stand there in confusion at her actions.
Rocky looked at Tommy, "what happened with you guys last night? You two seemed at chummy before we went to bed."
Tommy sighed and nodded, "I know. We were fine last night. We talked and danced, then I kissed her. She said she wanted to start over again, and then she kissed me. I guess we fell back onto the couch, and she said she wanted to spend the night in my arms."
Aisha smiled at him, "It's ok Tommy, she's still confused, I mean we bombarded her with all this information, she's bound to react odd to situations."
Tommy smiled, "I know, I'm just, confused. I can't lose her again."
Rocky nodded, "Don't worry Tommy, we'll wake up Jason, and then we will all go out looking for her."
Jason came into the living room, "I heard Kim run out, is everything ok?"
Tommy shook his head, "She panicked, and she left."
Jason nodded, "Ok, We'll go check out her place, you know this place better then us, and you know her better then us, you look around town for places she would go."
Tommy nodded, "Ok, call me if you find her."
Jason nodded, as he saw Tommy bolt for the door. Aisha looked at Jason, "Are we going to go?"
He shook his head, "No, he'll find her, and he should be the one to find her. He knows Kim better then anyone, he knows where she's heading."
Rocky nodded, not really liking the plan, "Alright, but if he hasn't called in half an hour, we are going out and looking for her too."
"Deal" Jason said.
Tommy pulled his car into one of the beaches parking lots. He knew Kim would want to go somewhere quiet where she could think, and work things out in her head. If they were in Angel Grove, he knew she would be at the lake, the spot where they shared their first kiss.
Knowing she would want to find a similar place, and knowing that her house, would be the first place he would look, despite the mice, he knew she would find he way down to the cove. He knew she didn't know the town that well, but he was praying against everything, that his gut was right.
Tommy ran down the beach, till he saw the cove. He looked around, and smiled, when he saw Kim's car parked close by, Thank you, he said to himself. He approached the cove, and saw Kim sitting on the far side of the cove, with her knees brought up to her chest.
"I thought I'd find you here." Tommy said slowly approaching her, then sitting down beside her.
"I'm surprised you did, I didn't even know where I was going." She said, not looking at him.
"My gut was telling me you would go by the water, somewhere quiet, so I figured you'd be here." He said logically.
She nodded, "Oh, ok."
Tommy sighed, "Kim, why did you run?"
She shrugged, "I'm not quiet sure. I guess I panicked. I mean I slept with you all last night in your arms, and it was the best sleep I've had in years. I got scared, because I'm not used to being happy, I don't know how to be. When I remembered you kissing me last night, and how happy I was, I just felt like I had to run, get as far away as I could. I knew it wouldn't last, it never does, the shoe always falls."
Tommy laughed, "For someone who didn't know why they ran, you sure give a detailed answer."
She gave him a small laugh.
"I know you're scared Kim, I am too. What I feel for you, is so beyond what I ever thought I could ever feel for someone. It killed me when you sent me that letter, but I now know I played a part in that letter. We were happy once Kim, I want us to be again. I want us, to be us again. I missed you, you are my better half."
She laughed, "I feel the same way."
"Then why can't you trust that? Trust that I want to spend the rest of my life making you happy, making you smile and laugh. I want to be with you Kim, and no one else."
She looked at him, truly looked at him. She saw all the love that was coming from his eyes, and it scared her, but somewhere deep down, she felt at peace, she was finally coming home.
"I want to come home Tommy."
He smiled, and brought her into his arms, so she was sitting in his lap. "Then come home." He said looking down at her.
She nodded, "It won't be easy Tommy, just don't give up on me."
He smiled, "Never, I will never give up on us beautiful." He said leaning down to her. Pausing, to make sure it was what she wanted.
When he saw her smile, he closed the distance between them, and kissed her. When they broke apart, he rested his forehead against hers.
"Promise me something Tommy?"
"Anything." he answered.
"Promise, you'll never let me run away again, tie me to a chair, throw me over your shoulder, I don't care."
He laughed, "I promise, no more running Kim, it's you and me. We're in this for the long haul."
She nodded and smiled, "I'm going to hold you to that."
He laughed, "You do that, cause I am never letting you go again."
Just then Tommy heard something behind him. He looked over his shoulder and saw something he knew was going to ruin the moment between the new couple.
"Well look what we have her, the blank ranger and his girlfriend."
Tommy and Kim stood up and faced there foe. "What do you want Zeltrax?"
He laughed, "You to be destroyed."
Kim stepped beside Tommy, "Well you'll have to get through me first."
Before Zeltrax could respond, Tommy turned to Kim, "Get out of here Kim."
She shook her head, "No, I'm not leaving you Tommy, You watch my back I watch yours. We are in this together."
Tommy nodded, knowing there was no use in arguing, "You heard the lady." Tommy said to Zeltrax, before the two of them struck up defensive poses, as they were surrounded by tyrandrons.
"You should have listened to your boyfriend lady." Zeltrax said, before they were all involved in a heated battle, and no one knowing the outcome.
Sorry about the delay, I thought I would get to update more frequently now that school was over, but go figure we are at the year end at work, so much work to do, so little time. I hope to get the next few chapters out soon, there are only going to be a few more. I hoped you like the story. Enjoy :)
