Chapter Two:

Tommy opened the door to the passenger side of his jeep and helped Kim to step out. She looked beautiful in her pink formal dress, but Tommy knew the truth, Kim was amazing with a needle and had made that dress so she could freely move in it if an attack happened. She had once had to fight in a regular formal dress and it had been a nightmare.

Tommy himself was wearing something that he could comfortably move in, after all, a ranger could never be too careful, he just hoped the others thought of that. Probably not, they hadn't had time to adjust to their new normal.

Hayley greeted them warmly, giving Kim a quick squeeze, though Hayley tended to complain on how complicated and crazy associating with the former rangers made her life, she had to admit that she actually enjoyed it. Despite how crazy they were, or how strange things always happened around them, they made the best of friends.

"Kim, you're back, good," Hayley announced, "So how many times…?"

She didn't need to finish the question, it was a running gag inside the power ranger circle, "Twice," Kim replied, "No monsters, the one is in jail and, well they are trying to find the other fellow. Although they might want to expand their search upward if you get my drift. That guy was bad news to anyone he looked at."

Hayley rolled her eyes, "Why couldn't you just report them to the police like a normal human being?"

"Normal's the key word there," Kim said flatly, "Why get the police involved, they had been trying to catch this guy for about a decade now and haven't had any success. So I did the world a favor, besides he figured out my secret."

Hayley suddenly understood why Rita Repulsa had constant headaches while dealing with the power rangers during their glory days.

Tommy laughed, wrapping an arm around his wife's waist, "Come on Kim, you know that if you get Hayley going you'll spend the whole dance arguing on rather or not what we do is normal, besides I want to introduce you to my team and allies. Some of them were are worst enemies you know."

Kim rolled her eyes, "Sounds about right, I mean look at Karone, arch nemesis of the Astro Rangers to the first one Andros calls in an emergency."

Tommy lead her upstairs, Trent and Anton probably wouldn't give him as hard a time as Ethan and Conner. He smiled as he noticed Trent, leaning over the balcony talking to Conner and Ethan. It looked like, surprisingly, like they both had dates.

"Hey Trent," Tommy called out, "So what are you planning to do with your time now that your time isn't being spent saving the world."

"I'm headed to art school in the fall," Trent admitted.

Tommy smiled, turning to face Trent's father, "And you're okay with that."

"Yeah," Anton agreed, "besides if even half of those horror stories are true that Hayley told me about power rangers, he would have gone to art school without my permission, so I better give the permission and keep the son."

"Wise words," Kim agreed, stepping out from behind Tommy, "But you still have some explaining to do, we hold grudges, and I want to know why you tried to blow up my husband?"

"That was Mesogog, this is Anton," Tommy protested, "That's like saying that the Green ranger and White Ranger were the same person."

Kim nodded, same person, two completely different personalities.

Tommy disappeared long enough to introduce Kira's band while Kim talked to Anton, Trent and Leslie Randall's the high school principal and former henchman for Mesogog.

Kira was only half way through her set when the doors burst open and Tyrannodrones stormed the place.

"Tyrannodrones! They must have gotten off the island lab before it exploded," Trent sounded frightened, "What do we do?"

Kim smiled, "What we do best!" she shouted as she flipped herself off the balcony railing to the floor below, before quickly taking out two of the robot lizard creatures.

Trent quickly followed her, much to the alarm of his Father and principal.

Kim quickly swiped the legs of one of the robots from underneath them, "Have a nice trip," she said, before kicking another one hard in the chest, "See you next fall," she called out, by this time, Conner, Ethan, Kira and Tommy had showed up, and Trent, Conner, Ethan and Kira stepped back with the rest of the students and staff, watching in awe as Dr Oliver and this mysterious woman took out every last one of the Tyrannodrones. It was as if they were dancing they seemed to move together in such away that they complimented each other and never got in each others way. And they made it look easy like taking a walk down the lane easy.

"She's amazing," Conner gasped, as Kim kicked one of the Tyrannodrones so hard that its head flew off and landed in the punch bowl.

"She looks famillar," Kira agreed, tilting her head to one side, "I think she's one of us."

"She knows Dr. O," Trent added, "Maybe she's one of his old teammates?"

"Yeah," Kim said stopping next to them, "I'm also his wife."

…

Conner looked around the dance floor looking for anything that he could use as an excuse to ditch Krista. It wasn't that he didn't like her, it was just that they had nothing in common. He tried to make polite conversation, but it always ended after a brief answer.

"I'm going to get us some punch," Krista finally announced before leaving.

Soon after she left, Kira stepped in, looking more beautiful than Conner had ever seen her in his life, "So how are things going with Krista?" she asked.

"Horrible," Conner admitted, "We have nothing in common, She talks about plants and bugs and I have no idea what she is talking about, or I talk about martial arts, power rangers or soccer and she has no idea what I am talking about."

Kira nodded, "You know, before we met, I had no idea about computers or soccer, but now I know quite a bit of both, not enough to do much with it, but enough to know what you and Ethan are talking about."

"Did you see Mrs. O kick that head off, it was amazing!" Conner exclaimed.

"She's the original Pink," Kira explained, "Some say she can give Dr O a run for his money."

"No way," Conner started as another slow dance started, it was one of Kira's favorite songs. He knew that because she was always humming it to herself with her helmet mike on during battles and stuff, "Would you like to dance?" he asked.

Krista returned soon after to discover that Conner was dancing with Kira, they were laughing and talking. It honestly looked like they where having a better time than they had been having. In fact, Krista saw the way Kira had been watching them out of the corner of her eyes. She had a feeling that Kira wanted out of the friend zone and into something more personal when it came to a certain soccer player.
