"Trini…Trini…Trini! Wake up!" Kim yelled as she rapped on the door and continued to get no answer from her best friend. Jason was now laughing, as Kim opened the door, flipped on the lights and walked into the rather messy room. She hadn't bothered to clean it since she had moved in and she could tell the Trini had just made herself at home in the mess. She had been in no mood to care about those sorts of things lately.

"Kim, please. I don't want to get up because I think that I just had the best dream of my life. I don't want it to end," Trini said, as Kim stripped off the covers and revealed her in her sports bra and shorts. "Kim!"

"Trini, it is not a dream. So, get up," Kim said as Jason now stood in the doorway to get a better view of the scene playing out in front of him. He was surprised that Trini had not yanked the covers away from Kim, but she seemed to be too dazed to do much of anything.

"No, it was. Jason wouldn't just break up with Emily like that. Not just for me any ways. No, it had to be a dream and I just need to go back to sleep and not wake up," Trini stammered as Kim just shook her head.

She had seen Trini be like this a few times in her life and everytime it happened she had to do drastic things to get her back in the right frame of mind. She was not sure that she was really up to that this morning. She did not want to deal with an angry best friend, as Trini was sure to be that once she got her senses about her.

"Jason's here and he wants to speak to you…"

"Badly," Jason interjected, as Kim stole a glance over at him and she could see the obvious concern in his eyes. He hadn't seen Trini like this before.

"Yes, badly," Kim said, as Trini looked up for the first time and realized that Jason was in the room and jerked the covers over herself, causing Kim to flip off the bed.

"Please tell me you didn't hear everything I said," Trini said, desperately, as Jason smiled over at her.

"Every word, Trini. Go on, get dressed, do whatever you have to do, but we have to talk. I'll wait as long as I have to," Jason said, as Trini nodded and Kim carefully propped herself up on an elbow so she could glare at Trini properly. Jason then turned and walked out of the room, in silence.

"Was that real?" Trini asked as Kim nodded her head yes and then threw a pillow at Trini. She still was not too happy about her throwing her off the bed. "Hey! What was that for?"

"You flipped me off the bed!" Kim yelled as Jason peeped in, glared at Kim and then closed the door. He didn't need for her to make Trini mad about something or the two of them would fight for hours. "I'll leave you alone now. Go get ready!"

"I owe you one," Jason said, as Kim nodded her head and rubbed her backside, gingerly. It had been a long time since she had been thrown off a bed like that, but she was sure it would be worth it if Jason and Trini would be happy. "Sorry she threw you off. I didn't think she would be that bad."

"I kinda expected it Jason. I won't lie about that to you. Good luck, she's still a skeptic. I don't know why she is, but she is," Kim said, as she walked forward, grabbed her keys and headed for the door.

"Where are you going?" Jason asked as Kim stopped walking and turned to face him. "I thought you were staying around."

"Nope, I'm going with Tommy. He's got a match this afternoon. I promised I would go and I'm not breaking a promise after just getting him back," Kim said, simply, as Jason looked at her with a questioning gaze.

"Who? And why so soon?" Jason asked, as he plopped down on the couch and grabbed to remote to flip on the television.

"Don't know. That's why I'm going with him. If the two of you go anywhere, the extra set of keys is in the back door. Be good, Jason and don't hurt her," Kim said with a smile, as she walked out and closed the door.

"You did your good deed for the day?" Tommy asked, when she walked outside and she nodded her head.

"Yeah, now let's just hope that Trini does not have a breakdown. Jason really needs her right now and I don't know what he'll do without her," Kim said as Tommy nodded, while she hopped into his jeep. "Now tell me about this tournament."

Trini could not believe that Jason was sitting in this house right now and she couldn't believe that he heard her ranting tirade. She rarely doubted herself, but when it came to Jason, she seemed to constantly be in doubt, for some reason. She couldn't say all this to him though. That did not seem to be what he was here to talk about, anyway.

She thought about all of this as she showered and managed to pick out something to wear. Clothes had never been of a real importance to her, but it suddenly seemed that Jason would just change his mind if she was wearing the wrong thing. Jason didn't really care, but she didn't know that and didn't want to take a chance with it. Things had changed a lot between them in the last few days.

"Good grief. What is she doing?" Jason wondered aloud as he had been sitting there for an hour already and she was still not ready. He had stopped by her house in the past and she could take a shower and be out the door in fifteen minutes. What had changed since then?

"Sorry, Jason. I didn't think I'd be doing anything today. Otherwise I would have showered off last night," Trini said, walking out as Jason nodded his head.

"Trini, it's fine. I was going to wait here as long as it took you, although you did take a little bit longer than I thought you would," Jason said, as Trini sat down across from him on the couch and he sighed. He wished that she would have sat down right next to him. It would have made him feel better about all of this. "Come on, we're going to go up to the Command Center."

"Why there?" Trini asked, as Jason grabbed her hand and pressed his communicator buttons.

"I don't have to take a key," Jason said when they landed in the empty lounge. "Come on, the gym should be empty. Almost everyone has gone somewhere for the day."

"Jason...I think I dreamed it all," Trini said as Jason laughed, a gentle laugh. He could understand that she must have dreamed it so many times that she thought it was impossible for it to come true, but now it was.

"Then I dreamed Emily slapping me this morning," Jason said, as Trini's eyes widened and he sat down on a bench and then pulled her down next to him. "It's all right. I really expected her to do it yesterday, Trini."

"Hey...I didn't..."Trini said, as Jason held up his hand and she immediately fell silent, although she had not had any sort of sentence formed in her brain.

"You did nothing. I was the one who fell in love with someone and then tried to date someone else. I played her more than she did anything to me," Jason said as Trini watched him fidget out of the corner of her eye.

"So you deserved it?" Trini asked, as Jason shook his head yes. He was willing to admit that much, even if he didn't admit much more about the situation.

"But you didn't deserve what she did to you. It doesn't much matter that she's mad at me, you weren't the one who did this. You weren't the one that had a change of heart, I did and Trini she still wants to have a heart to heart with you. I can't let that happen, I know what she would do and I'd wind up doing something that would not be good," Jason said, as Trini just shrugged. She'd talk with Emily, but she made no guarantees that it would be peaceable. "When are you going back?"

"I don't know. Zack just gave me a ticket here and told me to come back when everything was straightened out. Other than that, I was given no instructions," Trini said, as Jason nodded his head.

"You know we haven't talked about us yet," Jason said, as Trini nodded her head.

"That's the least of my worries. I don't think there is much to be said," Trini said, as Jason sighed. It seemed that he was going to have to talk about this situation. Trini had already reached her limit of conversation on that topic.

"There's a lot to be said. What about when you leave? What are we supposed to do?" Jason asked, as Trini just looked at him.

"We can't be sure of anything and we're not even together, Jase. I think we should give it some time, so you can make sure of your feelings," Trini said, as Jason suddenly stood up and she quickly turned her attention to him.

"Trini, that's what I need you to understand, I am sure. I left Geneva because I was that sure and that scared of what might happen if I kept on having those feelings. I didn't want this to happens to us; I didn't want things to change, but they did. I told you already that I was trying to protect us from possibly hating each other later, but I can't do it anymore. I can't sit back and watch you feel like this, when I know I feel the same. Trini, please don't make me wait any longer," Jason begged as she just shook her head.

They were going to be so far away and he was still asking for them to go out. Didn't he know what this had done to their friends? And Kim and Tommy had been in a relationship for awhile and things had happened. Who was to say that they weren't just setting themselves up for disaster?

"Why didn't you want it to change? Why didn't you want to be something more?" Trini asked, as Jason sat down directly in front of her.

"Because I thought we'd lose this. I thought we would lose being able to just ask a question or be honest with each other. I thought I'd lose your friendship in exchange for something that I'm not sure I'll like as much," Jason said, as Trini threw her arms around him for a long hug. "What was that for?"

"You being so silly. Jason, love will only make us stronger, not weaker," Trini said, as he smiled. "But I really will have to leave here soon. I can't stay away from the Peace Conference for too long. They'll start wondering where I am."

"I know and I'll miss you," Jason said as Trini nodded her head. She felt the same, but she never wanted to shy away from an obligation.

"I'll miss you too, but Jason, isn't there something you need to ask me?" Trini asked, as Jason shook his head yes and then looked her dead in the eyes.

"When are you coming back?" Jason asked, as Trini playfully swatted at his arm and he laughed. "Okay, okay. Will you go out with me?"

"I thought you'd never ask," Trini said, as he gave her a hug and she snuggled in closer to him.

She had come home, looking for an answer to her heart's desire and she had found what she had been looking for. She just hoped that this was not something that would disintegrate with her time away in Geneva. She didn't really want to say good-bye to Jason, but she knew that would come, although good-bye would not be that bad this time. She knew that she would have someone to come home to.

AN: All right, this is the end, but there will be an epilogue, I'm not going to leave all of you completely in the dark about how things turn out. I hope you have enjoyed this and I have just one more chapter for you.
