Chapter 11 The Pool
Outline: Why is Zordon calling the Rangers?
A certain Pink Ranger was parking in the driveway of her boyfriend's house.
"I wonder if Tommy's home," Kim thought to herself out loud.
Kim knocked on Tommy's door. When he opened the door, her eyes grew at the site of a half-naked Tommy.
"Hi," Tommy said.
"Going swimming?" Kim asked.
Tommy looked down at his trunks. It was not long before his eyes were on Kim again.
"Yeah, I was about to get in the pool. Want to join me?" he asked.
"I'll just watch," Kim said.
He put a hand behind her neck and pulled her to his lips.
"If you want," Tommy said.
Kim walked into the house and noticed no one was there.
"Where is everyone?" she asked.
"They went out for a couple of hours," Tommy replied, giving a wink.
"Oh, no, what have I gotten myself into?" Kim asked herself, biting her lower lip.
"Oh," was all she said out loud.
They walked out to the pool, and Tommy jumped right in.
"You sure you don't want to join me? The water's great," he said.
"Tommy, I already told you. I'll just watch. I don't even have a swim suite," Kim pointed out.
"Come here," he said.
"Why?" Kim asked, walking over to him.
"Just bend down by the pool with me," Tommy said.
She shook her head as Tommy took a hold of her hands.
"Don't try anything funny, Oliver," Kim said.
"What? Like this?" Tommy asked.
He grabbed her arms and pulled her in the pool.
"Tommy," Kim yelled.
He began laughing.
"You think this is funny?" Kim asked.
"Well, now you don't have to be so apart from me," Tommy said.
"Tommy, you're useless," Kim laughed.
He pulled both of them under the water and kissed her. The moment was interrupted when their communicators went off. They both gasped for air as they came out of the water.
"We read you, Zordon," Tommy said.
"Tommy and Kimberly, I've contacted the others, and they're on their way to your house. You need to come to the Command Center immediately," he commanded.
"Got it. Tommy out," he said.
Kim began to scream.
"What are the rest going to think when they see us like this?" she yelled.
Kim quickly got out of the pool and got Tommy's towel.
"How was I supposed to know Zordon would call, Kim? I'm really sorry," Tommy apologized.

The rest of the Rangers arrived at Tommy's house ten minutes later.
"What happen here?" Rocky asked, observing a wet Tommy and Kim.
Kim looked at Tommy and shook her head. She still could not believe he had pulled her into the pool.
"Tommy over here thought it would be funny to throw me in the pool fully clothed," she said.
"Pulled, Kim. I didn't throw you," Tommy objected.
"Okay. You pulled me, whatever. I ended up in the pool anyway," she snapped.
"Did you get the message you two?" Adam asked.
They both nodded.
"Yeah," Tommy said.
"What do you think Zordon wants?" Aisha asked.
"Whatever it is. It can't be good. And, um, Kim, you and Tommy might want to get dry before leaving," Billy said.
"I'll have to go home first," Kim said.

"Rangers, Rita's brother, Rito, has joined forces with her and Zedd in order to destroy Angel Grove," Zordon said.
"That can't be good," Tommy sighed.
"Not at all," Rocky nodded.
"Observe the viewing globe," Alpha said.
The six Rangers turned completely around to face the viewing globe.
"That bone head's Rito?" Rocky asked.
"Hideous if you ask me," Kim said.
The room filled with giggles, but for only a second.
"You must stop him from trying to destroy and city," Zordon said.
"Just like all the other monsters out there," Adam smarted off.
"What are we waiting for?" Aisha asked
"Let's do it," Kim nodded.
"It's morphin' time," Tommy yelled.
