Thank you to all of my reviewers. I love having new reviews.
Chapter 7: The Reunion: Part 1
Youth Center
Everyone was talking and catching up with each other and Ernie and meeting the newest rangers, who were in complete shock. Only two people were missing. Everyone knew Tommy had arrived the day before, several hours before the new rangers. They also knew that even the people he was staying with, other than Jason, hadn't seen him yet. Jason and Trini kept saying that they would all know what he was doing when he got there. They didn't even question why the other person wasn't there yet. She had come late to the last reunion so that there were enough people between herself and Tommy. Jason and Trini had to keep from laughing at the surprise they were all about to get. They all quieted when they heard the door open as they waited to see who it was. Half of them almost fainted at the sight before them. The two people that couldn't even bear to be within fifty feet of each other were holding hands while talking and laughing. They paused and looked at the others when they saw their reactions.
"Trii-nii. You promised you'd explain. Why didn't you explain?" Kimberly asked.
"Because Jason and I wanted to hear all the details. We didn't have anything to explain other than locking you in the basement until you made up. Now explain. Starting with the letter." There was a collective gasp. No one had ever been brave enough to ask about it outright. Their shock turned to confusion when both Tommy and Kimberly turned angry looks to Katherine, who looked like a deer caught in the headlights.
"I'd love to explain," Kim said, "but after I explain, maybe the other person involved will explain why they convinced me to write it in the first place. Although after what Tommy's said, I think we both know what her intentions were." With that, Kim told them the same thing she had told Tommy about writing it. As she finished, all eyes turned to a very guilty looking Katherine.
"I'm so sorry you two. I just saw how sweet Tommy was with you, and after you left, he was always so nice and he made sure I was accepted. He was a great friend, but I wanted more. I told you the truth. He was tired and worried. I knew you'd do anything to keep him safe, so I convinced you to write the letter. Do you think you could ever forgive me?" Kim thought for a minute and then she saw Billy's pained look. She knew he was torn between one of his oldest friends and his girlfriend. She came to a decision and stepped forward.
"I don't know about anyone else, but I will forgive you. Not because of you, but because I know Billy cares for you, and I don't want him to have to choose between us. It might take some time, but I will forgive you."
"If Kim can forgive you, I can too. I think it'll take longer for me though, because you practically lied to me. Since we found our way back together, I guess there isn't really a reason to hold a grudge." Kat was crying by the time they finished talking.
"Tha-thank (sniff, sniff) y-you. I can't be- (sniff, sniff) li-believe it." With that, she rushed to the bathroom to finish crying. As the night went on, everyone noticed that Tommy and Kimberly seemed happier than they had in seven years.
Before the night was over, Tommy decided to tell everyone his secret. He felt guilty at the questioning look Kim gave him as he called for everyone's attention. "I know you all have met my four friends from Reefside, and I'm sure you've all guessed that I gave them their power and morphers, but I have something to say that will shock you all." Jason and Kimberly looked at each other and laughed.
"Oh Tommy, is this about you being the black ranger on their team? We've known that for a while. But thanks for saying it. Jason and Trini each owe me twenty bucks." Kimberly said with a laugh, looking at him after collecting her money.
"How did you know? The only rangers who knew were the Ninja Storm, and they said they wouldn't tell anyone."
"Thomas James Oliver," said Kim with a hurt look, "did you honestly think that we wouldn't know your style of fighting after fighting with you and against you for at least a year. That's not even considering the fact that no other ranger fights quite like you. The original team comes close to the same style, but our style isn't even the same as yours. Besides, we know you well enough to know that you wouldn't be able to sit on the sidelines for long. You would have worried too much and felt helpless."
"I'm sorry, Beautiful. I should have known you all would figure it out. Especially you and Jase. Forgive me?"
"Tommy, you forgave me for a lot more. Besides, you just won me forty bucks." she said smiling, even though Tommy could see the tears in her eyes. He went over to her and kissed her, trying to take away all her pain. The others started whistling and clapping as the kiss deepened.
"It took you guys long enough." Billy said as broke apart and went bright red. "I was starting to think you would never get together." He hid behind Jason when they both glared at him and Kimberly started towards him.
Jason laughed and said, "Good job Billy. You know hell hath no fury like a pissed off Kim. And what are you behind me for? You were the blue ranger."
To save his friends from certain death and keep his love from jail, Tommy said, "He was, but we all know Kim could have taken out more bad guys by herself than all of us combined." Kim's look softened and she went back to Tommy's side to give him a kiss. After that the evening continued, with everyone their adventures to the newest rangers and anyone else who hadn't heard them before.
