Authors Note: Here is the next chapter of a story that I have neglected unfortunately. It will not be neglected any more! Please R&R! I'm hoping for 100!

The First of Two New Chapters!

As usual, when she gets off the plane, Cooper and Renee were there. They hugged each other and headed off to the University of Miami. Most of Kimberly's things were already moved in. She was excited to be starting college, as was the rest of the gang. She couldn't wait till gymnastics started again. It is a whole new chapter in her life, and she can't wait till it begins.

"KIMBERLY!" Lindsey shouts, running up to her friend, "How are you! How have you been?"

"Good Linds, how are you?" She smiles hugging her friend.

"Good. When are you starting up at the complex again?"

"Tomorrow. The doctors gave me the OK as long as I don't push my ankle too hard. He told me to listen to my body, and I'm gonna do just that."

"Have you worked at all on routines?"

"My beam, mainly just the foot work, but when I do it, the dismounts still hurt a bit."

"I bet. My god, I am so glad you are ok."

"Me too." She laughs, "Are you in the dorms?"

"Yeah, two floors above you." She grins.

"This is gonna be AWESOME!" Kim smiles.

"What major are you choosing?"

"I'm in-between physical education and elementary education. What about you?"

"Athletic Training."

"Neat!"

"Yeah, it's gonna be a blast."

"Well, I have to make a quick phone call to Tommy, so I'll see you in a bit ok?"

"Sure Kim." She smiles, heading back up to her room. Kim dials the familiar number of his cell phone and he answers, "Hey handsome."

"Hey beautiful, how are you?"

"Good, how are you?"

"Great. How was your flight?"

"Boring, long, but otherwise ok. I miss you so much though."

"I miss you too." He sighs, "How's your dorm room?"

"Not bad. Renee and I will be fine. Lindsey is living a few floors above us which is gonna be nice. I am looking forward to classes on Monday."

"Excellent! What about gymnastics?"

"Tomorrow I start back."

"Nervous?"

"Yeah, a little bit, because my dismounts are gonna take forever to get back to the skill I had before the accident."

"I don't think it will be as bad as you are making it Kim. You'll be fine."

"Thanks Tommy." She says, sighing.

"What's up?"

"Nothing."

"Don't nothing me Kimberly Ann Hart."

"I just miss you already. I saw you, what seven hours ago, and I miss you."
He smiles, "I know the feeling. I miss you too."

"I'm scared too…"

"Scared?"

"Yeah, the last time I left, we didn't stay together…"

"That's not the case this time. We know what we have to do to work out."

"Yeah, you're right… I still miss you."

"We'll be too busy to miss each other too much soon." He jokes, "Between school and sports, it's gonna be crazy."

Kim laughs, "I guess you're right. You move in Sunday, don't you?"

"Yeah." He laughs, "Jason and I are rooming together…"

"That will be crazy." She grins, "What about Aisha, who's she living with?"

"She has a roommate coming in. She doesn't know her, but she seems eager to meet her."

"Cool." Kim smiles.

"And of course, Rocky and Adam are living together too. Zack's another one who decided to get a totally new roommate, instead of triple up with one of us. I expected him to dorm with one of us…"

"Zack! Nah, he would want to meet some new and unsuspecting person." She laughs. Kim hears a knock on her and Renee's door, "Come in!" She calls. She sees a girl standing at the door, smiling.

"I just wanted to say Hi. I'm Kelsey, I live across the hall from you."

"Hi." Kim smiles, "Hang on for one second." She tells the girl before turning her attention back to her boyfriend, "Tommy, can I call you back later?"

He smiles, "Go have fun tonight, I'll call you tomorrow ok?"

"Alright." She smiles.

"I love you."

"Love you too. Bye." She says, hanging up the phone.

"Boyfriend?"

"Yeah. Have a seat. I hope you don't mind me unpacking some things while you are here."

"Not at all."

"I'm Kimberly by the way."

"Nice to meet you." The girl says, shaking her hand.

"Renee lives here too. She's a friend of mine."

"Oh, you live with someone you already knew?"

"Yeah. We were on the Pan Global Team together for Gymnastics."

"OH! You're Kimberly Hart, the girl who was in the car accident…"

"Yah, me and Renee."

"Well it's awesome to meet you." She smiles, "Where are you from?"

"California. A little town called Angel Grove."

"I know right where that is. I use to live out in California YEARS ago, before I moved to Devon Pennsylvania."

"Where did you live?"

"I lived in Stone Canyon till I was in seventh grade."

"Stone Canyon! No kidding, I have three great friends who lived there, before moving to Angel Grove."

"Who are they? Maybe I know them."

"Maybe." Kim smiles, pulling out a picture of the six friends, "Aisha Campbell, Adam Park and Rocky DeSantos, do you know them?"

"Oh my god, I was good friends with them before I moved, and dated Rocky for like six months." She laughs, "How are they?"

"Great, here's a picture of us." She smiles.

"Wow. They've changed since I saw them last." She giggles.

"I bet."

"Is Adam still shy?"

"For the most part, but he is a total smart ass."

"As bad as Rocky?"

Kimberly laughs, "Sometimes."

"Does Rocky still eat?"

"Everything."

"And how's Aisha? She was having a rough time when I moved."

"A rough time?" Kim asks.

"Yeah. Her parents were fighting and talking about divorcing."

"Her parents are fine now. I lived with them for about four months before I moved to Florida."

"Counseling must have worked then." She smiles. "She's pretty perky."

"She's my best friend… they all are."

"Which one's your boyfriend?" She asks.

"That one, standing in-between my one friend Billy and Rocky." She smiles.

"Cool. How long have you two been dating?"

"TOO LONG!" Renee laughs, walking through the door."

"Thanks a lot Renee." She grins, 'Guess what!"

"What Kim?"

"Kelsey here knows Adam, Aisha, and Rocky. They grew up together."

"Awesome."

"Do you know them?" Kelsey asks.

"Yeah, I mean, I've met them a few times." Renee smiles, sitting down next to Kim on the bed pulling out the pictures she brought down, "I'm Renee by the way."

"Kelsey. I live across the hall from you two."

"Cool." Renee smiles, "Kim, show her the picture that your friend took of you and Tommy. She'll be able to see him in that one better."

Kim looks through her box and finds a picture of them holding hands, walking through the park, "Adam took this." She smiles.

"He's cute."

"He's very cute." Renee laughs, "But, unfortunately since these two have been dating what, Two years?"

"Three." Kim blushes, "Four come November."

"He's officially off the market." Renee teases, winking at her friend.

"Wow. Long time." She says, handing Kim back her picture.

Kim smiles, "Yeah, it is."

"Are you two hungry?" Renee asks, "Lindsey and her roommate are heading to the Cafeteria for dinner."

"I'm up for it." Kim smiles, "Kels?"

"Yeah, sure." She grins, standing up.

"God, I hope this food is better than last time." Renee sighs.

"Me too." Kimberly replies. "Hurry up Linds!"

"I'm coming, I'm coming." She smiles, bringing Tracy, her roommate, "This is Tracy. Tracy, that is Kimberly Hart and Renee Weaver, my teammates, and I don't know you."

"I'm Kelsey White. I live across the hall from Kim and Renee."

"Cool, nice to meet you, I'm Lindsey."

"Nice to meet you too Lindsey and Tracy." Kelsey smiles, before spotting her roommate, "Melanie!"

"Hi Kelsey." She smiles.

"You want to get some food with us?"

"Sure!" Mel smiles. They go through the introduction yet again. The girls have a great time hanging out and become almost instant friends.

When they were walking back to their dorm, Kim's cell phone rings, "Hey girl." She picks up.

"Hey Kim, how are you?" Aisha smiles.

"Good, what about you?"

"Great." She smiles, "Tommy told me you called him and I figured I'd call you too."

"Hey, guess what."

"What?"

"I met someone up here who knows you three."

"What three?" Aisha asks.

"Adam, Rocky and You."

"Oh? Who is it?"

"Someone you haven't talked to in ages."

"That can be anyone." Aisha laughs.

"Hold on I'll let you talk to her." She smiles, passing her phone to Kelsey, "It's Aisha."

Kelsey smiles, "Hi Aisha."

Aisha immediately recognizes her voice, "KELSEY!"

"Yeah." She laughs, "How are you?"

"Oh my god, I'm fine. I haven't talked to you in like four years!"

"I know. Kimberly lives across from me." She laughs.

"Awesome! You are gonna LOVE Kimberly." Aisha replies.

A very amused Kimberly smiles as she hears the two friends talk. They must have talked on the phone because four years ago was ninth grade, not seventh when she says she moved. After about five minutes, Aisha gets back on the phone with Kim, and they talk before hanging up for the night.

"Are you two going to be around tomorrow for breakfast?" Melanie asks.

"No. I have practice tomorrow." Kim replies, "Do you Renee?"

"Yeah, I have a lot of work to do. My routines are awful. Lindsey?"

"Yeah, but I'm not till that afternoon." She smiles.

"You are SOOOOO lucky!"

"Where do you guys practice?"

"Well, we split up our time between the complex and the university's gymnastics gym." Kim responds, "I have to be there at 6:00 so I can be stretched out and on the apparatus by 6:30. I think he wants to have Jill check out my ankle."

"Who's Jill?" Mel asks.

"Our trainer. Since the accident, Kim and I are constantly checked. Are you gonna try for the Olympics Lindsey?"

"I don't know. I didn't even metal in Pan Globals…"

"Girl, fourth place is nothing to cry about, they could use someone like you on the team. You are AMAZING at Bars." Kim says.

"I'll have to see. I gotta make sure my routine is suitable and perfect, because I'm not making an ass out of myself."

"Too late." Both girls giggle.

"Thanks a lot!" Lindsey giggles, slapping their arms.

"I need to work out my ankle the most." Kim replies.

"I'm the same with my knees. They are not quite perfect yet… and it's been, what four months almost?"

"They'll get there." Kim assures her friend. "Same with my ankle. I have to decide on what music I'll be doing my floor routine to. I mean, I think I'm gonna use my Pan Global's routine, just alter it with a couple harder moves and different music, but for the most part, I may just stay with that."

"That's a good idea. You're routine kicked all ass." Lindsey smiles, "You deserved that score."

Kim grins, "Hey, I wish we took all three of the medals."

"Well, maybe we'll get medals in the Olympics." Renee laughs.

"Jumping the gun a bit aren't you?" Kim winks at her friend, "We have a ton of people to beat out, then a ton of countries."

"And you girls will!" Cooper calls out to them.

"COOPER!" The three laugh, running over to him, "How are you?" Renee asks.

"Great. Just got back from the gym. Coach is pretty ticked that you girls haven't come over and seen him yet."

"Tomorrow." Renee and Kim smile.

"What time do you practice tomorrow?" Lindsey asks.

"Six, you?"

"Six too." The girls reply.

"I'm not till noon." Lindsey brags.

"I envy you." Cooper laughs, "I don't believe I've had the pleasure." He says, turning to the three other girls.

"Oh, Cooper, these are Kelsey, Tracy, and Melanie." Kim says, "Kelsey and Melanie live across from us, and Tracy is roommates with Linds."

"Nice to meet you girls." He smiles.

"You too." The girls grin.

"Anyway, Coop, can you help us in our room? We were gonna see if Jack or Shawn could do it, but you're here."

"Yeah sure."

"What Dorm are you in?" Mel asks.

"Same as you, Stanford." He smiles, "They try to keep all of Schmidt's gymnasts in the same place."

"That's nice of them." Kelsey smiles.

"Yeah, basically, Coach would have a fit if we weren't." Renee laughs.

"Plus, we are close to the training center, so he tells us we have no reason to be late." Kim laughs.

"Did you talk to Tommy?" Cooper asks.

"Yeah, earlier. I had to get food, so he's gonna call me tomorrow."

"Cool. Tell him I said hello when you talk to him."

"I will."

5:00 Am the alarm clock rings the girls groan as Kimberly gets up and shuts it off, "Morning Renee."

"Morning Kim." She replies, sitting up.

"I'm gonna grab a shower."

"Wait for me, I'm coming too." Renee says, as they grab their things and head to the common bathroom. No one was awake at this time. They did what they had to do and got ready for the day. It was nice being the only two people up. They head out the doors and stop at the local coffee shop where they order their usual coffee's and make their way down to the compound. Classes start on Monday, and they have gymnastics scheduled around them.

Kim and Renee talk about what they were going to be doing today as they pushed open the large gymnastic complex doors open. They go into the locker room, put their things away, and fill up their water bottles. Then, they head back out to the floor and stretch.

"Kim, come push my back down a bit." Renee says, "I'm really tight. I can't lay as flat."

Kim comes up from behind her friend and presses her shoulders down to the floor, "That good?"

"Yeah, stay there for like ten seconds." She smiles.

Kim counts to ten and then lets her friend back up. Renee stands up and Kimberly places her leg on her friends shoulder. This was the usual stretching routine for the girls. At 6:15, Jill comes out from the training room.

"Welcome back girls."

"Thanks!" They smile.

"How's the legs?"

"Ok." Kim says, "My ankle has been really tight the past couple days."

"Same with my one knee." Renee says.

"Alright, come on back and we'll properly stretch it out." Jill smiles. The girls follow her back and go through a series of somewhat painful exercises to loosen up their former injuries. Once 6:45 comes, they are ready to go.

"Welcome back Kimberly and Renee." Coach Schmidt smiles at his two medallists.

"Thanks Coach." Kim smiles.

"Yeah, thanks."

"How are you?" He asks Renee first.

"Fine. Jill stretched my knees out so I should be good to do."

He nods, "And you?" He turns to Kim.

"Dismounts are the big killers. I'm ok with footwork on the beam though and the bars as long as I don't have to dismount."

"We'll work up to them. How's your floor?"

"Coming along." Kim shrugs, "The pressure on my ankle gets to be too much if I constantly work on mats."

"And you?"

"Same as Kim, only it's my knee." Renee smiles.

"Ok, well, we will work mainly on the bars for Renee and Beam for Kimberly. If it gets too tough, tell me. I also have some notes on what I'd like to see you girls do for the trials. They are simple and difficult at the same time, but nothing you haven't done before."

"Awesome." The girls smile.

Four weeks go by and the girls legs continue to strengthen. Their routines are almost perfect. The coach is thrilled with his three girls who would be battling for a placement on the Olympic team, as well as his two men battling for a placement.

Kimberly is having a ball living it up as a college student. She has been able to manage her time between school, gymnastics, and her social life. She and Tommy talk a few times a week on the phone, and instant message as well as e-mail. They are going strong, and Kimberly is thrilled about that. She gets razzed a bit by her friends, and knows Tommy gets the same, but who cares? They are happy and that's all that matters.

Kim call's Tommy at 10:00 Florida time, and he was walking back from class. He smiles and picks up his phone, "Hey."

"Hey you, how are you?"

"Fine you?" He smiles.

"Fine. What are you doing?"

"Heading home from class."

"Who's that Oliver? Your mother?" One of his friends asks.

"No." He laughs, "Kimberly."

"Hello Kimberly." They call.

"Um, hi." She replies laughing.

"So anyway." Tommy says, before getting his cell phone taken from him, "HEY! What the hell man!"

"Hello Kimberly, this is Drew."

"Hi Drew." She says, laughing.

"Yeah, I had to steal the phone away from Tommy, because we were beginning to think he was talking to himself on the phone."

She laughs, "No, it's me."

"Well, we decided that until you come up or we talk to you, you are imaginary, but now we hear your voice and wonder, when are we going to see you?"

"We? Are you talking in third person?"

"Come on man, give it back." Tommy says, smiling.

"WE are Me, Jake, Dominic and Tim. Say hello to Kimberly." He says, holding the phone out.

"Hello Kimberly."

"Hi." Kim calls back to them.

"So, Kim, when are you going to grace us with your presence?"

"When ever I get time off from the gym."

"The gym?"

"Yeah." She says, "I'm a gymnast and I only get so much time off."

"Hey, she truly is a gymnast." He snickers, getting rolling of his eyes from Tommy.

"Well, we'd love to meet you."

"I'm sure it would be quite an interesting experience." Kim giggles. She hears a familiar hey in the background, "Is that Jason?"

"It is Jason." Drew laughs, "Here Jason, talk to Kimberly. Tommy really has a girlfriend."

"I know he does." Jason says, taking the phone, "Hey Kimmy."

"Hey Jason. They are an interesting group."

"Yes they definitely are." He laughs.

"How's Tommy during this?"

"He's being a good sport, but I think he wants to talk to you. You gonna be up for a while?"

"Probably not, but if you call I'll wake up."

"Alright, I'll give you a call tonight or tomorrow."

"Alright, bro, night."

"I love ya!" Jason says.

"DUDE! Jason's hittin on your girl Tom, you gonna take that."

Kim was in stitches, "I love you too, bye."

"Bye." Jason says, handing the phone to Tommy.

"Hey."

"Hey." She says, giggling.

"Don't humor them Kim." Tommy smiles.

"Oh come on Tommy."

"I'm not mad." He laughs, "They are interesting."

"They are your friends." She smiles, "Listen, I should have a few days off come October. Would you like some company?"

"In October! Sure!" He smiles, a bit to anxious.

"Ok, I'll let you know exactly when honey." She smiles.

"Good. I miss you."

"I miss you too."

"Who do we miss?" Rocky asks, walking up to them with Aisha, "Kimberly?"

"Yeah." Jason laughs.

"I MISS YOU TOO KIMBERLY!"

"ME TOO!" Aisha agrees with him.

"Tell Rocko and Aisha ditto."

"Rocko, Aisha, Ditto." Tommy replies.

"I can see I caught you at a good time." Kim laughs.

"We are just heading to dinner."

"I'll let you go then handsome."

"Alright. I love you beautiful."

"I love you too." She smiles. She loves the fact that he still tells her he loves her even in front of the guys.

"TOMMY LET ME TALK TO HER!" Aisha says really fast.

"Alright, I'm gonna go but Aisha wants you for a second."

"Alright. Bye honey."

"Bye." Tommy smiles, passing the phone to his friend.

"Girl, I just talked to Kat."

"Oh! How is she?"

"YOU JUST TALKED TO HER!" Jason says, "I haven't even talked to her today."

"Boy, bro's before bitches." Aisha says, holding her hand up in his face to silence him,

"Anyway, she says that if we want, we can come on up for a week, JUST THE GIRLS and hang out."

"That's not fair." Rocky pouts, "I wanna go to London too."

"Boy, we are going to shop, you'll go with us another time."

"Cool, if I ever get a break, I'll be sure to plan a trip." Kim laughs. "I gotta talk to her sometime soon."

"Yeah, she was asking about you. Now, when are you coming up?"

"October sometime."

"Awesome, you gotta meet my roommate. She's awesome, you'll love her." Aisha grins,

"I'm looking forward to it." Kim laughs, "What's her name?"

"Desiree."

"Cool, well listen, it's almost eleven, and I need to get some homework done before bed. Tell everyone I said hello and goodbye, and I'll call you soon ok?"

"Right girl, see you and talk to you soon." Aisha smiles, "Kim says bye."

"BYE KIM!"

"Bye guys." She laughs, "Tell Tommy I love him and I'll talk to you later."

"Kim loves you." Aisha says, getting an 'love her too' back from him, "Bye."

"Bye." And she hangs up, laughing.

"Hey Rock, where's your roommate?" Dominick asks.

"He and Zack are coming over soon. They were trying to fix Lance's computer."

"Ah." Dominick laughs, "Leave it to Lance to have a shit ass computer."

"Adam will fix it pretty quick." Aisha smiles, "He's good at that type of stuff."

"Where's Des?"

"She's gonna meet us at the caf too." Aisha laughs, playfully putting her arms around Rocky's and Tommy's wastes as they walk.

"Cheer up Flacon." Rocky says, winking at him, "She'll be up before you know it."
"I know, I just miss her…"

"And you don't think I miss Kat?" Jason says, "Dude, at least your girlfriend is in the same country!"

"True, but you haven't been with Katherine as long as I have with Kimberly."

"Technicalities." Jason laughs.

"Let's go eat guys, I'm starving." Aisha laughs.

"Now you sound like Rocky." Jason teases.

When October comes, Kim and Renee are back at almost full strength. They are not as sore or dependant on the medications they receive after their practices. They are off from school for a week, and off from practice for about six days. Kimberly decides that this is the best time to head up to see the guys at UCLA. She makes her flight plans and decides that Saturday at six, she'll head out of Florida. She hates the time changes, but she misses her friends like crazy, especially Tommy. She calls him and tells him what time she needs to be picked up, which would be about nine California time. He gladly accepts and says he'll meet her there.

Her last practice was incredible. She was getting all sorts of positives from the Coach.

"Kimberly, Renee, and Lindsey, come over here for a second." The Coach calls to them. Kimberly jumps off the beam, Renee runs over from the Vault, and Lindsey quickly dismounts from bars and walks over to her coach and teammates. "I know that you all have been working very hard, and no three girls deserve this break more than you. If I could have the trials tomorrow I would, because you girls will easily get one of the five places on Team USA. It is now, 2:30. What I want from each of you is rotate for the next half hour, till about 5:00, each of the apparatuses. I will come around to each of you and work with you. Kim, I want you to start on bars, Lindsey Vault, and Renee Beam. We may spend a bit more time on these than usual, but we are working for perfection. I'm going to work with Kimberly on the bar's first. I will spend about 12 minutes with each of you on each event ok?"

"You got it." The girls smile brightly.

"Go on." Coach Schmidt smiles.

Kimberly makes her way over to the bars and chalks up her hands, securely fastening her gloves. She looks at the bar and back at her coach, "Any final words?" She jokes.

Schmidt looks at her, "Stay tight. I don't want to see any arms bent nor feet apart. You have been doing great, so keep it up." He smiles.

Kim nods, and mounts. Her entire performance was practically flawless. Coach spotted her when she needed it, which was usual, and she dismounted. He smiled and clapped his hands. "EXCELLENT! I see you have been working hard on this Kim. I am VERY proud of you."

Kim smiles, "Thanks."

"Now, again." He says, watching one more take of her routine, "Danielle, come here and work with Kimberly." He calls to his assistant coach.

She nods and walks over.

At 5:00, the girls regroup in the center of the gym, "I now have five gymnast that could be going to the Olympics." He smiles, "You three, Cooper, and Shawn. I have all the faith in the world. Now, it's a bit early, but I think you girls should head back and get some rest. Be safe traveling and I will see you three at noon Next Monday." He smiles.

"YES!" The girls smile.
