With the family moved into their new house, Tommy found out that starting in August, he was accepted to teaching Science at Reefside High School. His parents really helped out, co-signing for the lot and house to be built. It didn't take long for the girls, especially Trisha to get use to the move. Trisha, the most upset, she didn't want to leave her friends at pre-school. She would be starting kindergarten in August as well, with the twins going to daycare for the first time. Kimberly fell in love with the house at first glance. It was much more spacious than the loft. The girls' room was done just like it was in the loft, painted, and set-up. It was much bigger and better with windows. The secret that Tommy held until they moved in was about the secret lair, he had been working on with Hailey. Kimberly didn't like it at all, because she knew that with those gems, danger would always been after them.

Tommy was downstairs in the lair checking the system, as Kimberly came down carrying Sydney as she feed her a bottle.

"Will you take and feed her when I put the girls to bed?"

"Sure." Tommy took the baby. "Wait." Tommy grabbed her arm.

"Tommy, I have to make sure Trisha isn't.."

"Just one moment. I want to learn this as well."

"I don't want to."
"Please." Tommy for the past few weeks had been trying to show Kimberly the system and how things work. Though she wouldn't let on, she had learned and could be able to work it just as good as him or Hailey if she really wanted to.

"I should.." Tommy stood up.

"I hate that I had to do this, Kim. You know that." She nodded.
"When will all this ranger shit leave us?"

"I don't know. I don't want to be 70 still having ranger duties, too." She laughed. "Everything will be okay."

"I know." She held his face and kissed. "Are the monitors and coms up around the house?"

"Hailey will be making the final touches, but yea, pretty much."

"Good." She kissed him again.

"I love you."

"I love you too, Handsome." Sydney pulled her bottle from her mouth and let out a baby yell. "I love you too, baby!" Kim held her face and kissed her as well many times. "I better go. Come up soon, you spend way too much time in this cave. It's cold." Kim fixed the bib on Sydney.

"I will." They kissed again.

"Burp and change her." Kim went to the steps. "She's stinky." Tommy smiled. He lifted Sydney's butt up to his nose.

"WOW! What are we feeding you!" Sydney giggled. "That's a daddy's girl!" Tommy kissed her stomach.

First day of school, Tuesday, August 24th, 2004. Tommy woke up to his alarm. Kim groaned, turning to her back off her side. Little Sydney was moved closer to Kimberly as Tommy got up. Kimberly sat up as Tommy came from his shower.

"Hey, go back to sleep," he said wiping down his head.

"I should make you something for breakfast and wake Trisha. First day is the most important."

"Coffee will be fine for me, Kim. Go back to bed."

"Not healthy, what type of good wife would I be if I let my husband go to on his first day with an empty stomach." She picked up the sleeping Sydney and carried her out. She kissed Tommy as she passed. Tommy came downstairs about 20 minutes later pulling on his white lab coat. Kimberly smiled and lifted the mug of coffee to him.

"Here you go."

"Thank you." Sydney was sitting in the kitchen crib, banging on some toys. Tommy kissed her on the lips after taking a tiny sip. Kim started making him a plate. Tommy adjusted his tie. She spent hours trying to figure out Tommy's attire for today. They argued over colors, ties, pants, shoes, the works. Tommy ended up pulling Kimberly into bed just to hush her up.

"Blue one was better."

"No, red is nice." Kim fixed the plate and took his tie. She redid it and brushed his shirt down. Tommy slipped on his glasses. Kim stepped back holding her chest.

"What?"

"Nothing. You look, god, you look amazing." They hugged.

"Thanks to you. Where's Trisha?"

"Sleeping still, I shook her like 3 times."

"Sound like me." Kim nodded. "Go wake her, I can take Trisha for her..."

"No, and be late on your first day. Please, I can handle it."

"But I won't cry as much." Kim groaned. For pre-school, Tommy had to pull Kim away as Trisha went and played. She was crying so hard and not just because her hormones were off due to being pregnant with Sydney last year. Just yesterday, they spent nearly 20 minutes there just watching. Kimberly crying the entire time.

"I won't cry! Again." Kindergarten started yesterday for the little kids, so parents, as well as the children could get use to going to school daily now. "I can't help it. Our baby is so big and going to school." Kim made a face as her eyes welled up with tears. "Your toast." Kim quickly went to the toaster. Tommy put the paper down and his mug. He put his arms around Kimberly.

"I know. It hurts me too." She patted his arms across her stomach. He kissed the side of her head.

"Go, eat." They kissed. Tommy picked up Sydney as he went to eat. Kimberly went to wake Trisha to brush her teeth. Jack, Ducky and Mushu awake for their morning walk. Tommy did that around the backyard with Sydney in his arms.

"Okay, you should be heading out." Reefside High was about a 25 minute drive, since they lived outside of the town. Kim took Sydney. "Besides, you don't want baby drool on you before your first day." She fixed his collar again, though it was fine. Tommy kissed his girls goodbye, before heading out the door. Tommy cupped her face and kissed her lightly at the door.

"I love you." She smiled. Tommy got into his new black jeep.

"I love you too. Good luck." They kissed through the window. Sydney playing with Kim's hair.

"MOMMY!" Kim sighed and looked back to find Trisha with her shoes in her hands.

"Coming." Tommy started the jeep.

"Bye."

"Bye." Tommy pulled off for school.

Tommy went to his first class. After he introduced himself to the class and took roll, he noticed a student missing.

"Does anyone know a Conner McKnight?" No one said anything. "Okay, going to a long morning." Principal Randall, evil lady, was giving out detention that day. Conner McKnight for skipping first class, Kira Ford for playing her guitar without permission, and Ethan James for his stunt with the sprinklers. Tommy, the new teacher, got stuck with detention duty. He decided to take them to the museum with him. While he checked the museum out, he let the three look around the woods.

Kira, Conner and Ethan were walking around looking for anything prehistoric to get them out of detention, fell through a sink hole. They found themselves in the dino cave lair. Conner was the first to notice the gems and took one. Ethan and Kira followed. They left only to be attacked by tryrannodrones. Somehow, they had bonded to their gems and powers were expressed. Tommy found them in the woods. But neither of them told him about the gems or being attacked. Tommy decided to drop them off back to school. He went home himself. Kira decided she didn't want anything to do with Ethan or Conner and handed over her gem. But she was captured by tryrannodrones. Conner and Ethan decided to find Dr. Oliver and talk to him. They went to his house and found it empty. Kimberly was out picking up Trisha, while doing some shopping for dinner tonight. Ethan found the front door open and they went inside. Conner was laughing about all the dinosaur statues and touched the mouth on a dinosaur head on the wall. The mouth went down and a secret door opened.

"Wow, dude, check this out." They walked around.

"Hey, what are you two doing here?" Conner and Ethan quickly turned to see Tommy standing there looking mad.

Conner and Ethan explained finding the gems, Kira being kidnaped by the weird creatures. Tommy takes the yellow gem. He decided to go searching alone, but Conner and Ethan refused to stay behind. Zeltraz attacked them with more Tryrannodrones after Kira lands on the jeep from falling from the sky. Tommy tells them he will explain everything tomorrow, but he better get them home since it was very late.

Kimberly stood in the house pacing, waiting on Tommy. He saw him drive down the road with 2 teenagers as she was coming home.

"What's going on!" The door opened.

"Hey to you too. How was my first day, it was.."
"Cut the crap Tommy, what's going on?"

"3 teenagers found the gems."

"What?"

"Yea."

"Well, get them back!"

"I can't. Their DNA, their bodies have already bonded to them. They have powers Kim."

"Tommy, does that mean, what I think it does?"

"Mesogog, he's back." Kim went to him and hugged him. "He's back."
