Chapter Four:
Kim crawled into bed after the dance with a sigh, "my bed in Florida wasn't this comfortable."
Tommy, however was shaking out his clothes with a look of concentration, "Now where is it, I know Hayley bugged me, now where is that bug!"
Kim climbed out of the bed, looking concerned as well, "Can't you wait until the morning to do that? I've been waiting for this night for months."
"I know that, Beautiful, but I don't think Hayley would like to hear us tonight, like you said we have been waitin"g for months for this."
"How do you know it was Hayley, doesn't seem like something she'll do, she understands that you are a married man. Now Ethan, on the underhand, is a little bit of a prankster."
Tommy thought about this for a second, "True," he said, "If he really doesn't want to hear what is going on, he shouldn't have bugged me."
...
Monday morning saw Kim rolling over in the bed only to be met by Tommy, something she wasn't expecting, she had heard his alarm go off awhile ago and had assumed that he had went to work without saying good bye, "Shouldn't you be at work?"
Tommy shook his head, "It's Senior ditch day."
"You're a teacher not a student," Kim pointed out with amusement, this past weekend had been amazing and she was glad that he wanted one more day together.
"So none of my students are going to be there," Tommy sat up, "Besides, I figured that we could go to Hayley's for breakfast. Whoever turns red when they see us is who bugged us."
Kim stretched out slowly, "You just want to give your students a hard time for skipping class."
Tommy grinned, she was right of course, he wanted to see how many students he could get to stuttering.
...
For it being an official school morning Hayley's Cyberspace Cafe was bustling, so much in fact that Hayley asked Trent to help out. The mood was festive as everyone played games and such.
Suddenly the mood changed as the door opened and closed as Tommy Oliver entered the room, "Well now I know where my first period science class is," as several of the students scrambled away from him, Conner, Ethan and Kira being the fastest.
Tommy plopped down at the table that they had just dived underneath with Kim next to him, "Did I ever tell you about my Senior ditch day. We dived behind the counter when we heard Ms. Appleby show up. Hid there while she got a smoothie and had some small talk with Ernie, Then as she was leaving she called out, 'I'll see you all tomorrow in class, I recognized Tommy's truck!'"
Underneath the table Kira quickly clasped a hand over Conner's mouth to prevent him from laughing.
Above the table Kim laughed, "how did she know it was your truck?"
"Because every time they announced that somebody's lights where on they give a description of the car, and more times than not, I was the only one being paged. So it wasn't hard to figure out that the red pick up truck was mine."
"So," Kim asked, "how long do we sit here and make them suffer underneath the table?"
Tommy shrugged, "Until they give up and come out."
Ethan shook his head, "I don't get it, that bug I planted in his watch says he's still at home, how is he here?"
Tommy overheard him, so Kim had been right, it had been Ethan, "Oh, I don't know, it's not like I have a device that locates tracking devices, almost lost my secret identity due to one of those."
With that Ethan exclaimed, "Oh come on!" Before hitting his head on the top of the table.
After that the three teens, Trent was still helping Hayley, crawled out from underneath the table, "How did you know we were there?" Kira asked.
"Um Conner's car was in the parking lot," Tommy started, "And somebody tagged you on their status of hanging at Hayley's."
All three teens turned to look at a certain girl in pink who was on her phone, "What!" She demanded.
"Cassidy," Ethan started, "you do realize that our teachers could see your post, right?"
"Well, it's not like it was Miss Randall, it was Dr O, and he's cool."
"Yeah, but we can't plan our senior prank with him here." Conner whined.
Tommy snorted, "No way you can top the prank my friends and I did."
Kim and Hayley gave each other a terrified look, "What exactly happened?"
"No way," Kim snapped, "I'm having Billy lock up his shrink ray."
"What did they do?" Hayley asked nervous to hear the truth.
"I don't know, I wasn't there," Kim said, "but it had to do with Billy's shrink ray, a Zord on a roof, something up the flag pole, and a whole lot of apples."
Conner blinked, "A Zord, how did you get a Zord on the roof?"
Tommy was about to answer when Kim cleared her throat, "Do I have to remind you that you are a teacher, again. Honestly sometimes I wonder if you became a teacher just to relive your high school years. You certainly been doing enough of the same things. Detention on the first day."
Tommy leaned forward and whispered into Conner's ear, "Tell you Thursday at the beach, best day to do the prank, I'll give you and a few others a lift to the school, I have an idea."
