The days rolled by fast, bringing it to the day of the High School Reunion and the Oliver Residence was in the middle of getting ready."Tommy are you sure this looks good on me?" Inara questioned her husband for the tenth time about the dress she was wearing. It was a simple, yet elegant black halter top dress that made her look beautiful, even in her pregnant state.
"Yes, darling, you look gorgeous." Tommy replied and kissed his wife's cheek as he put on the necklace he bought her a week before. Inara looked in the mirror once more, the different shades of green and black on her eyes brought out her green eyes, her hair was straitened and put up into an bun.she was wearing high heeled shoes, but not too high or else her feet would be killing her before an hour had passed.
Inara finally had agreed to her outfit and looked at Tommy and smiled."You look so handsome."
Tommy looke down at himself and grinned. Wearing a long-sleeved white shirt with black slacks and nice dressy shoes and a black tie. He looked like quite the gentlemen. His hair was spiked and he grinned sheepishly."I guess i do clean up pretty nice, don't I?"
Finally after two hours of preparing for the reunion, they were finally ready. Getting into Tommy's Firebird, they headed off towards Angel Grove High. The drive was quite, except the radio playing Van Halen.
"Are you sure they will like me?" Inara asked breaking the silence between the two as she rubbed her enlarged stomach.
"Yes, they will love you. I have no doubt about that." Tommy answered and smiled at the beauty sitting next to him.
"Will Kimberly be there?" Inara asked hesitantly.
"I doubt it.. she left for the Pan Globals before she finished high school, if she does show up it will be because Jason or one of the others invited her." Tommy began, chosing his words carefully then he reached over and grabbed her hand and held it in his."Don't worry, I love you and only you, you and our child is the only things that I care for and I will never, ever mess that for a past girlfriend." reassured Tommy.
"I know but sometimes I can't help but feel like maybe if you saw her again you would go running back to her." she whispered.
"I will never do that to you, Inara, I love you so much and i wouldn't even dare think about to what my life would be like without you. " Tommy finished as they pulled into the full parking lot of the school.
Getting out of the car, Tommy walked over to Inara's side and opened the passenger's side door and held a hand out."My lady," Tommy grinned and bowed slightly. Inara laghed and took his hand, he helped her out and she slightly curtseyed."Why thank you, kind sir."
They laughed once again and Inara took Tommy's hand into her own and laced their fingers together and took a deep breath as they entered the Gym.
The gym was filed with teachers, and ex-students. Tommy recognized two of them as Bulk and Skull, he laughed and pointed them out."That is Bulk and Skull, they used to be the school bullies, but they never were much of that. They always tried to figure out who the Power Rangers were too." Tommy explained."Did they?" Inara asked with a smile on her face.
"Nope." he answered and she just laughed.
Spotting Rocky and Aisha, he was quite surprised that they made it, and headed towards them."Roko!" Tommy shouted catching the spanish man and his wife."Hey,bro!" Rocky laughed and Tommy and Rocky hugged."It's good to see ya," Rocky smiled. Tommy then hugged Aisha and said hello."Man, it's been so long since we've all last seen each other." Tommy stated happily.
"I know!" Aisha replied and then looked at the woman standing next to Tommy."Hello." Inara whispered shyly.
"Rocky, Aisha, this is my wife Inara." Tommy introduced and wrapped his arm around her waist.
The couple looked surprised at this, especially since Inara was pregnant. Getting over their shock the smiled and shook Inara's hand."It's a pleasure to meet you." Aisha smiled softly.
"It's a pleasure to meet you as well, Tommy has told me so much of his friends and I'm glad to finally meet a couple of them."
"Really, that's nice to here." Rocky laughed."At least we weren't forgotten." he finished and Tommy added in his two cents."Well, its kinda hard to forget the infamous Rocky and his love for food and scoping out girls." Tommy laughed earning a playful glare from his friend.
"Hey, hey I only have eyes for my Aisha, now and plus a man's gotta eat!" Rocky defended himself.
"Man you guys are getting OLD." came the familar voice of Trini Scott, formerly known as Trini Kwan. Jason followed behind her."I beg to differ my dear, they are getting OLDER." Jason joked.
"Jason, Trini!" Tommy laughed and hugged both of them."So where's the devils?" Tommy asked looking around for Jason and Trini's kids."Their with my mom and dad." Jason answered and smackded Tommy upsdie the head for calling his kids devils.
"I see you haven't changed much, well besides the hair anyway. That's a shocker." Trini laughed."Yea, sadly the hair had to go, I have a little one on the way." Tommy smiled and pointed at his seven month pregnant wife."Hi! I'm Trini you must be Inara! Pleasure to meet you Tommy has talked so much about you in his letters and I just had to meet you. And wow, he said you were beautiful but not this beautiful!" Trini stated in awe.
Inara blushed and nodded her thanks."So how far along are you?" Trini asked."Seven months." Inara answered." Wow, you're almost there. I must tell you labor is a bitch. So is the birthing process, if you want my opinion get epidural, it will save you so much pain." Trini advised.
"Well, I wanted to have a natural birthing without any medicines to numb the pain. I feel like natural birthing brings you closer to your baby." Inara stated and smiled."Wow I never thought of it that way." Trini said thoughtfully while tapping her pointer finger on her chin.
"Hey look who just arrived! It's Adam and Tanya!" Rocky shouted and pointed at the couple who just walked in."Thank you for announcing it loud mouth." Tanya chuckled.Introductions went around once again as Tommy introduced Inara. He got congradulations of course and soon enough after Adam and Tanya arrived Kathrine followed.
The night was full of memories being brought back up and old friends catching up on what they missed in their lives. The reunion was soon over, letting everyone to go back to their hotels or homes to turn in for the night. On the car ride home, Inara was sleeping, tired out from the nights events. Tommy just smiled at his wife as she slept on and thought back to the reunion.'Man, it was great seeing everyone again, I can't wait to do it again and only this time, I will bring my daughter or son as well for my friends to meet.' Tommy thought and pulled into the driveway of their home and shook his wife gently to wake her up to go inside.
Tommy helped Inara into their bed and he himself got dressed for bed, lying next to his wife he kissed her cheek and closed his eyes and fell into a peaceful slumber.
