Chapter 3

Memories of tears and rain

"Guys! Mesogog has sent his white Terrorsaur to uh terrorize the city." Said Conner.

"You guys go take care of it. I'll take Tommy to the Hospital." Ordered Hayley, as she began drag Tommy towards her car.

"Got it!" replied Kira, as she activated her dino morpher. "Ready?"

Ring ring

"Wait." Said Conner casually, as he answered his cell phone, "Hello?"

"Conner?" asked Krista, she couldn't believe that she was doing this. She had told herself that she would never talk to him again, but this time it was different. He had just saved her life a mere number of hours ago. She had to talk to him.

"Krista, is that you? What's up?" he asked curiously.

"Nothing much, I just need to talk to you right now." She replied, nervous why was she nervous about talking to him?

"Uh, Conner, kind of have one of Mesogog's monsters running rampant around the city." Said Ethan.

"Oh right, listen Krista can I call you back? I'm kind of busy right now." Said Conner.

"Sure. Listen how about we talk face to face, say tonight at 7?" replied Krista, as one of her fingers twirled one of the chocolate colored locks of her hair.

"Yeah, that'd be great. All right, I'll see you then. Bye." Said Conner as he smiled goofily.

"Was that tree-girl? You're kidding me right. We've got a monster on the loose, and you're flirting with tree-girl!" said Trent obviously annoyed.

"Sorry." Said Conner sheepishly, as he raised his wrist to his chest. "Ready?" the bracelet on his wrist immediately changed into a dino morpher.

"Ready." Echoed Kira and Ethan.

"Dino Thunder Power up!" shouted the three, as they morphed into their respective Ranger suits.

"White Ranger Dino Power!" shouted Trent, as he also morphed into his ranger form. Running towards his Dino ATV, he hopped on, while the others got on their Raptor cycles. "Alright guys let's go!"

Meanwhile……

Hayley watched Tommy sleep peacefully, of course technically he wasn't sleeping. He was in a coma, a coma that she blamed herself for causing. Her hand gripped in his, softly, yet firmly at the same time, almost like she wasn't ready to let him go. Her emerald colored eyes watched him sleep, as words escaped from her mouth, words that had been hidden away for so long.

"Tommy, do you remember the day we met? I do, I remember it almost as if it were yesterday. It was raining that day, and I was crying…." Memories of that day began to return to Hayley

The skies were gray, the clouds were black and rained poured down from the sky, almost as if the planet itself was crying. Yet no one noticed a 22-year-old girl who had just been dumped by her fiancée, the rain was the only thing that hid my tears. Then you came. I remember everything you said, every action, I often replay it in my mind to remind myself of just why I love you so much.

You handed me a tissue, and I did nothing but look at you. I remember it clearly, the texture of the tissue, and the warm feeling that it brought to my heart.

"Are you ok? Sorry, I'm being nosy, but I just hate it when a girl cries."

"Yeah, I'm just a little…"

"Is it something you want to talk about?"

"Yeah, it is."

"C'mon you're soaked, I'll buy you a cup of coffee." And you took my hand and led me away, away from that cold place and at that moment, my life truly began.

"And that was the first time I knew for sure, that somebody cared for me. Cared for me for who I was and not what I pretended to be. You saw my insecurities and my faults, and how you felt about me didn't change." Continued Hayley softly, "I was in such a dark place before, I was scared, lonely, and feeble, but you came along and taught me to accept those parts of me. You taught me that those parts of me made me stronger. And slowly the lonely road that I walked, was no longer that lonely."

Tears began to stream from Hayley's eyes, messing up her makeup, but she couldn't help it. A lone tear fell onto Tommy's lips. "Please, I don't think, I can walk that lonely path again, I don't want to. Please Tommy, open your eyes, if not for me than for yourself. I need to tell you how I feel, how I've always felt. So please just open your eyes." Hayley's eyes widened, as she felt the hand that she squeezed begin to squeeze back softly, as Tommy slowly opened his eyes. A look of joy and sadness tore through Hayley's face as she realized that he was awake and that he was ok. He pulled his hand away from hers, and raised it to caress her cheek.

"Hey." He said softly.

"Hey." She replied, tears continued to pour from her eyes, but this time they weren't tears of sorrow, instead they were tears of joy, she couldn't help it. He was alive.

"Didn't I tell you I hate it when a girl cries? Well it's even worse when it's a girl I care so much about." He said softly, as he sat up.

"Tommy, there's something I need to tell you..." She began, but she never got the chance to say anything as Tommy closed the distance between his lips and hers, and they shared a soft kiss, one that was gentle but passionate at the same time. A kiss that couldn't be described with things such as words, as Tommy reluctantly pulled away.

"I need to help the others." He said softly.

"How? You're Dino gem was destroyed." Asked Hayley. Tommy showed her what was in his other hand in it was a fully repaired Black Dino gem.

"I'll explain later." Replied Tommy, as he took the gem and inserted it into his morpher. He had a battle to get to.

(A/N) Just so you don't get confused in the next chapter I'll be writing about what happened to Tommy during his coma. Sorry, if you're a Tommy/Kimberly fan or a Tommy/Kat fan. Like I've said before this is a story with two very rare pairings in it. So far, I've only seen one Tommy/ Hayley fic, and ZERO Conner/Krista, so instead of sitting down and complaining I did something about it.
