They had been on the road for a little over five minutes when Kim asked, "So Conner what were you doing over at Kira's house?"
"Oh you know, when I heard her scream last night I supersped over to check on her."
Kim gave Tommy a knowing look, "That happened pretty late last night, and I doubt that you would have brought your suitcase with you, so what really happened?"
"Are you suggesting that Conner spent the night at my house while my parents are out of town?" Kira demanded, "I'm not that stupid, I don't even like Conner that way. If it wasn't for the fact that we're teammates, I doubt we would even talk to each other."
"That kiss at senior Prom says differently." Kim taunted, loving finally being the one doing the jabbing instead of being jabbed.
Conner went bright red, "Okay so we might be dating, a little bit, just to see, you know, were it goes."
"So how's Trent taking the break up," Tommy asked, twisting a little to look at them in the back seat, "I remember my first broken heart, locked myself in my room and drowned myself in ice cream."
"Trent and I were never a couple," Kira insisted.
Conner leaned forward, "So how did you get over the broken heart?"
"My best friend dragged me to the park by the ear and then sent his sister over to check on me. We ended up kissing and I asked her out, and whenever I started missing meeting up with them without a good excuse, she would show up at my house. Trust me I couldn't shake her."
"Wait one minute," Kim stated, "That..." she turned to look at her husband who smirked.
"Eyes on the road Beautiful."
"You are such a Power Ranger!" she exclaimed, "Your break up story has nothing to do with a break up."
"For your information that was one of the hardest break ups I've ever dealt with."
Kim snorted, "If you insist."
Conner leaned over to Kira in the back seat, and whispered, "How come I have a feeling that we're missing something."
Kira nodded, "Yeah, we totally are being left in the dark, and Dr. O wants us to stay that way." with that said she raised her voice so that the two in the front could hear her, "So Mrs. O what is he talking about?"
"You know that Tommy is the best power ranger ever, right? That he had several different colors before he became black?"
"Yeah," Kira stated, "He was the original green ranger, under Rita Repulsa's control, Right?"
Tommy sighed, "Yes, but the green powers were never that strong and Rita managed to steal them from me, I was heart broken because of it, luckily Kimberly's brother, Jason, the original red, dragged me to the park and sent Kim to talk to me."
Conner and Kira burst into laughter, their teacher/mentor's first break up was with a power source.
Tommy blushed, "I was a lot younger than you guys, I was new and town, and literally my only friends at the time were the power rangers and they were still active. How would you feel if you were the only one of the team without powers?"
"But we still have powers, you said so your self, once a ranger always a ranger," Kira protested, "If you wanted to you could have found a way to help."
"He did," Kim stated, "Unfortunately, the green ranger powers were never that strong to begin with, they had been corrupted."
Tommy sighted, "We're getting off topic here, so you and Trent never were a thing, I thought..."
"This isn't a fairy tale, I thought he was cute that is all, There's no such thing as love at first sight."
Kim pretended to die a slow and painful death, all while keeping the car on the road, "NO such thing as love at first sight, Kira, I knew that I was going to marry Tommy the moment I first saw him, he looked so cute, all sweaty trying to beat Jason."
"How in the world does the conversation on why was Conner at Kira's house keep coming back to me?" Tommy demanded.
"Your wife's the one who keeps changing the subject," Conner pointed out.
Before anyone could say anything more a strange sound filled the car, it was a song but nobody could place what the song was or where it was coming from. Kim glanced at the radio before pressing a button on the steering wheel, "HI Karone, is something wrong?"
"I just wanted to talk to you about something," A voice said, filtering through the cars speakers.
"Woah," Conner exclaimed, "How you do that?"
"Bluetooth installed into the car," Kim replied, "perks of being a power ranger, I have more gadgets and gizmos attached to this car than any civilian car would ever have."
Karone sighed over the phone, "I take it that now isn't a good time to talk?"
"Not really," Kim admitted, "But I'll let you know when we get to the hotel, we'll talk then. Just stick close to Andros and Maya and Kendrix until we get there."
"Okay, thanks, bye," With that there was an audible click as the phone disconnected.
"Looks like this just turned into a working vacation," Kim sighed, "Hope the others don't take over my whole time. Maybe I'll set up support groups. let's see unreasonable phobias and super villain turned hero, and I'm sure I'll add ten more groups once I get there."
Tommy rolled his eyes at his wife, "You just can't stop working, can you?"
"I'll stop when you stop," Kim offered, "The Rangers need my just as much as they need you."
"I thought you were a gymnast?" Kira asked.
"Professional Hobby," Kim confessed, "I'm a counselor, trust me, at the Pan Global Games if I wasn't on the beam I was in an office with a line up a mile long of gymnasts. You don't get paid to go to the Pan Global Games, but I earned a lot of money this time around."
"So you're a shrink?" Conner asked.
"Yep, so if you ever need to talk..."
"I don't think I'll ever need you," Conner confessed, only crazy people needed a shrink.
Kim shrugged, "Okay that's fine, just note that 95% of my clients are power rangers, and the other 5% are our allies. Whole reason I went into Psychology."
