Chapter 3 Kira's Relapse

Kira, Kim, and Jason were the only ones in the lab.

"Kim, Jason, please. I'm begging you to stay a little longer to watch me perform, especially you, Kim. I want to know what you think. Singer to singer," Kira said.

Kira was going to playing at the cyber café on Friday.

"Kira, I haven't performed in years, but I'll definitely stay," Kim smiled.

She gave Jason a little nudge.

"Um, yeah, me too," Jason nodded.

"Great," Kira smiled.

"What's so great?" Tommy asked.

The three turned to Tommy, who was walking down the stairs with Ethan, Conner, and Trent.

"It looks like Jason and I will be staying a little longer," Kim smiled.

Tommy's face lit with joy. Knowing he was going to be spending more time with Kim made his day.

"Oh really, why?" Conner asked.

Kira, Trent, and Ethan rolled their eyes.

"Forgotten already I see," Ethan laughed.

"Forgot what?" Conner asked.

Kim looked over at Tommy and shook her head.

"I see we have another Tommy in the house," she laughed.

"Kira has a gig this Friday," Trent said.

"Oh, my bad," Conner replied.

"May I ask where you two will be staying?" Tommy asked.

Kim looked at Tommy, then back at Jason.

"Don't look at me. I have no idea," Jason said.

"Well, you're welcome to stay here. I have an extra room," Tommy offered.

"Would that be all right with you, Tommy?" Kim asked.

"Of course, Kim," he smiled.

"All right then, it's settled. Kim, you'll get the extra room, I'll sleep on the couch," Jason said.

"Are you crazy, Jason?" she laughed. "That couch's way too little for you."

"I'll manage," he said. "I have a feeling I won't be on the couch for long."

Her mouth dropped open. The four teens busted out laughing.

"Bold, Jason," Tommy said. "Real bold."

Mesogog stormed into the room as Elsa quickly turned his way.

"Elsa, I want you to bring Trent here. We have some unfinished business to attend to," he hissed.

"As you wish, master," she said.

Mesogog sat down in his chair as Elsa followed him.

"I'll make sure Trent comes back with us for good this time," he replied.

"I won't fail," Elsa promised.

Mesogog got up and walked over to Elsa and placed his claw underneath her neck.

"I'll have your head if you do," he hissed.

"Shall I bring the Tyrannodrones for back up?" Elsa asked.

"You shall," Mesogog said.

Kira smiled as she walked up behind Trent, who was sitting on a bench overlooking the lake at the park.

"Boo," she shouted out.

Trent fell off the bench, drawing book in hand.

"Shit, Kira. Make me have a heart attack why don't you," he laughed.

He had to admit, it was pretty funny.

"Sorry about that," Kira apologized.

She helped him up and sat next to him.

"What are you drawing?" Kira asked.

"I was going to give it to you tonight at your gig, but I guess you can have it now. I was just touching up some things," Trent said.

She smiled as he handed her the book. A smile arose on her face when she saw it.

"Trent, it's beautiful," Kira said.

It was a drawing of a girl and guy, more than likely them, wearing super hero clothing, knowing that was the only thing he knew how to draw.

"Really?" Trent asked.

"Yes," Kira smiled as she kissed his cheek. "I got to go get ready, see you then."

"Later," Trent said.

He smiled and began working on a new drawing.

Thirty minutes later, two other people walked up to Trent in the park.

"Trent, shouldn't you be getting ready?" a familiar voice asked.

Trent looked up to find Tommy and Kim, who were walking towards him in the park.

"What time is it?" he asked.

"Five," Kim said, looking down at her watch.

"Oh no, I lost track of time," Trent panicked.

"Need a ride with us?" Tommy asked.

"Would you?" Trent begged.

"Sure thing," Tommy smiled.

"Thanks a lot," Trent sighed.

He grabbed his book and got up. Kira was going to kill him. The thought of it made him shiver. Getting Kira mad was not something you wanted to do.

"Kira's going to love her drawing, Trent," Tommy said.

Tommy had noticed Trent drawing it one day at the cyber café during his break.

"Drawing?" Kim asked.

"Yeah, Trent's a really good artist," Tommy said.

"Don't be so modest," he laughed. "I already gave it to her."

"Did she like it?" Kim asked.

"Yeah," Trent smiled.

"Good," Tommy said. "Come on, let's get going."

Tommy and Kim began to make their way into the cyber café.

"I'll meet you in there in just a second," Trent replied.

"Hurry, Trent," Tommy said.

Trent was opening his bag to put his book away when Elsa and Tyrannodrones appeared.

"Why the hell are you here?" he moaned.

"No need for that language, Trent. Mesogog wants to talk to you," Elsa said.

"Well, you can tell him that I'll have to take a rain check. I'm a bit busy at the moment," Trent replied.

"You're coming with me now," Elsa commanded.

"No," Trent yelled.

He tried his best to fend off the Tyranndrones until Elsa got a hold of him.

"Now be a good boy and corroborate with me," Elsa said.

Kim sighed as Tommy turned his head from the entrance.

"Where can that boy be?" Tommy wondered.

Tommy looked back at the entrance, then back at Kira, who had already began to sing. You could tell that she knew Trent was not there by the look on her face.

"He's totally missing her," Kim said.

Ethan shook his head as he looked at Conner.

"Man, what's up?" Conner asked.

"This isn't like him," Ethan said.

Kira bobbed her head down saying, 'where the hell's my boyfriend,' with her jester. Conner and Ethan just shrugged their shoulders.

"Man, she's pissed," Conner said.

Tommy turned to find Jason in front of him, holding Trent's book bag.

"We have a problem," Jason said.

Suddenly, the music stopped. The crowd gasped, and Tommy and Jason turned around to find Kira lying on floor, not moving, screaming in pain.

"Oh no," Tommy moaned.

Ethan and Conner hopped on stage and bent down beside Kira. Hayley, Jason, Tommy, and Kim were the next to come up.

"Kira, honey, what's wrong?" Kim asked.

She placed her hand on Kira's head.

"Trent," she gasped.

They all turned their heads, only to find no Trent.

"Um Kira, he's not here," Hayley told her.

"No, it's Trent! The mind reading potion, I'm having a relapse… and I'm feeling his pain," she cried.

"Jason, take her to the back room. Ethan and Conner, we got to go," Tommy said.

"Right," Conner nodded.

Tommy stood up and took the microphone.

"Ladies and gentleman, this evenings performance has been canceled," he said. He took Kim's hand and looked into her eyes. "Stay here with Jason. I'll be back before you know it."

"I know you'll get him back," Kim smiled.

He gave her a quick kiss and took off with Conner and Ethan.

The White Ranger's eyes were getting heavy. He was about to pass out.

"What do you want with me?" Trent moaned in pain.

"You're here to help me," Mesogog said.

"No, I'm not hurting my friends again. You can't make me," Trent gasped.

It took the team a while to fully welcome him into the team. Now that him and Kira were seeing each other, he was not about to hurt her again.

"Maybe this will change your mind," Mesogog said.

A bolt of electricity ran through Trent's body.

"Aw," he yelled.

"Have you changed your mind yet?" Mesogog asked.

Trent slowly lifted his head off the table.

"Never…" he weakly said.

His head fell back as his whole body shut down.

Jason gasped as Kira stopped breathing.

"Kim, Hayley," he yelled.

The two women ran to the back room where Jason and Kira were.

"What happened to her, Jason?" Kim asked.

"I don't know. Her whole body seems to have shut down," Jason replied. "If she's connected with Trent, there's no way to get her breathing again."

Kim covered her mouth. She had gotten attached to the teen ever since she arrived in Reefside.

"Something must be terribly wrong with Trent then," Hayley said.

"They better get to him soon," Kim prayed.

Kira suddenly gasped for air. Kim smiled and began crying. That was a good sign Trent was still alive. He must have been passed out.

"Kira," Jason said, relieved.

"Guys, he has to be with Mesogog," she cried.

"What does he want with him?" Kim asked.

"He has to want Trent to join them again, but he's resisting," Kira replied.

"Kira, lend me your communicator so I can contact Tommy," Hayley said.

"Are you going to okay?" Kim asked as Kira weakly sat up and began taking off her communicator.

"I think so," Kira said.

"Tommy, this is Hayley. Trent's on Mesogog's island," she replied.

"Thanks for the info. How's Kira doing?" he asked.

"Much better, but you need to get to Trent fast though," Hayley said.

Elsa ran her fingers through a weak Trent's hair

"You're helpless, Trent. No one knows you're here," she laughed.

Trent looked down and prayed she was wrong.

"Trent, Trent, the others are on their way," he heard a voice call.

"Kira," he said softly. He smiled and looked back up. "You're wrong, Elsa."

Mesogog walked in, catching the end of the conversation.

"Oh really, then why aren't they here yet?" he asked.

"Just a little late," Conner said, busting down the doors.

"Dr. Oliver, so nice to see you," Mesogog hissed.

"Can't say the same for myself, Mesogog," Tommy said.

The two started going at it. Kick after kick, lung after lung. In the meantime, Ethan and Conner were freeing Trent.

"I'll handle Elsa," Conner said.

"Ethan, where's Kira?" Trent asked.

"She's not doing so well, man," Ethan said.

"It's the potion, isn't it? Trent guessed.

"How did you know?" Ethan asked.

"I heard her calling me," Trent said.

"Dr. O, come on," Conner yelled.

"See you," Tommy said.

The four jumped into an invisaportal right outside the door.

Tommy, Trent, Conner, and Ethan walked into the back room at the cyberspace. Trent gasped as he saw Kira's body on the couch.

"Kira, what happened?" he asked.

He bent down next her and took her hand. Kim could not help but smile.

"I'll be fine, Trent. I felt your pain," she said.

"So, you did have a relapse?" Trent asked.

"Yeah," Kira sighed.

"Kira's going to be all right. Isn't she, Dr. O?" Ethan asked.

"She'll be just fine. Right now, she just needs rest," Tommy said.

After getting home, Jason and Tommy decided to play a game of cards. Jason laughed as he watched Kim's eyes slowly close at the table.

"You look a little tired, Kim," he said.

"No, I'm not," she yawned, laying her head on Tommy's shoulder.

"Why don't you go to bed?" Tommy suggested.

"If you say so," Kim sighed.

She got up and walked upstairs. Kim opened the first door she saw and walked in. She got in bed with nothing but her bra and underwear. Little did she know she was not in the guest room?

"Oh yeah, she'll listen to you, but not to me," Jason said.

"Hey, it's not my fault," Tommy laughed.

xxx

A couple of hours later, the card game had ended. Tommy laughed as he opened his door.

"What's so funny?" Jason asked, walking up the stairs.

"Don't give her that hard of a time tomorrow," Tommy said.

Jason's eyes grew when he saw Kim's body in Tommy's bed.

"Damn, she must've been really tired not to have known she wasn't in the right room. So, I take it you're taking the guest room," Jason joked.

"Hell no," Tommy laughed. "I want to see the look on her face when wakes up next to me in the morning."

"Man, what wouldn't I give to be a fly on the wall when that happens," Jason said. "Then again, maybe not."

Tommy shot Jason a disgusting look.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Tommy asked.

"I'm just joking bro," Jason laughed.

He slapped Tommy on the shoulder.

"Yeah, you better be," Tommy said.

"I ended up being right after all," Jason realized. "I am going to able to sleep in the guest room."

"Night, Jason," Tommy laughed as he walked in to the room.

"Night, Tommy." he said.

In the morning, Kim found herself in a bed other than the one she was used to. She gasped as her eyes fell upon the person in the bed with her.

"Tommy," Kim whispered.

He yawned as his eyes opened to find Kim staring at him.

"Morning, Kim," Tommy smiled.

"Please don't tell me I walked into your room instead of the guest room last night," she said.

"It looks like you did," Tommy pointed out, looking around his room.

Kim was in shock. She had not realized she had walked into Tommy's room.

"So, how did it feel to wake up next to me?" Tommy asked.

"It wouldn't be the first time I have," Kim smiled, leaning in to kiss Tommy. Tommy pulled Kim down to his chest. She was now lying on top of him. "Tommy."

Kim bit her lower lip as she tucked her hair behind her ear.

"I love you, Kimberly," Tommy said.

"I love you too, Tommy," she smiled.

Before she got up, Kim leaned into Tommy to kiss him.

"I'd me careful if I were you," Tommy said as she went to open the door.

"Why?" Kim asked.

"Well, Jason's in the guest room, and I don't think you'll like it if he found you in your bra and underwear. You'll never hear the end of it," Tommy said.

"Then what are we supposed to do, hide out in here until he wakes up?" Kim asked.

"Oh, I think we can keep each other busy until then," Tommy said.

He walked over to her and leaned her up against the door and being kissing her.

"I'm scared to leave now," Kim admitted. "Look what happened the last time I decided to leave."

"Then don't. Kimberly, stay with me," Tommy whispered.

Her eyes met his. He could not tell what was on her mind.

Two days later, a knock came at Tommy's door.

"I got it, Tommy," Kim said.

"Okay, Kim," he replied.

She opened the door to a confused Kira.

"Kira, I'm glad you're doing better," Kim smiled.

"Kim? Weren't you and Jason supposed to be gone? Not that I'm glad you're still here," Kira said. Tommy walked up behind Kim and threw an arm around her, smiling at Kira. "Oh… I get it."

"Jason left yesterday. I'll be flying back to Florida to get my things," Kim said.

"Why didn't you just go with Jason?" Kira asked.

"He wouldn't have the time to drop me off in Florida. He had a meeting with a karate instructor today," Kim replied.

Kira smiled and hugged Kim.

"It's great that you're staying," she smiled.

Crap and double crap. I'm so going to have to do another chapter. I was just writing away, forgetting this was going to be the last chapter. It might be a really, really long time before the next and last chapter is posted. I have like a ton of new stories in the works. Me and my damn dreams!
