Chapter Ten:

Tommy pulled a chair out for Kim before taking a chair for himself, "So what have you and Kat been up to?" he asked Billy.

"Oh you know," Billy said with a shrug, "The usual, building inventions, helping out rangers, and keeping Katy out of trouble. I had heard that twins were double trouble, I just didn't realize that that meant one of the twins got a double dose of mischief."

Kim laughed, "I can see that," she offered, grabbing Katy as she used her chair as a jungle gym, "Come on Katy, it won't be long that we will be at the hotel and then you can run around."

"Promise?" Katy asked, giving her aunt a quizzical look.

"Cross my heart and hope to die," Kim replied doing the actions for it.

"Oh boy!" Katy exclaimed.

"Oh bother," her twin brother sighed, "Now you done it."

Kim opened her mouth to ask what was wrong, but shut it quickly when Katy started shouting, "Let's go let's go, let's go."

"Not yet Katy," Kat said with a sigh, "we have to eat first."

"Then let's eat very very fast!" Katy declared.

Kira blinked as Katy grabbed a pink crayon and a coloring page from the center of the table and started to color, as if her outburst hadn't happened, "So Dr. O is your uncle huh, so is he your Daddy's brother or your mommy's brother?"

Kim and Billy looked at each other, "And it begins." the said in perfect unison as if they had been waiting for a long time for that question to pop up again. Most people stopped asking that once they were in fifth grade.

"What begins?" Conner asked, confused.

"The confusion that is the ranger family tree," Tommy explained.

"No one is really related to each other, but they all claim each other as a relative of one sort or another." Katy explained.

"I came from a broken family as did Billy, so we kind of formed our own little family, but then it grew out of control." Kim replied with a laugh.

"Look, are you going to tell me what you want, or am I just going to have to stand here all day?"

Kim looked up at the woman, who didn't look much younger than she did, and said, "Uh, excuse me?"

"Like are you going to order or not?"

"Now Lisa that isn't the way to talk to my friends." a new voice called out as Rocky appeared, "Tommy here is my boss, so if he wanted to he could have you fired."

"Really?" Tommy asked, brightly.

"Don't give him any ideas Rocky, you know what he's like," Kim warned, "He might accidentally blow up your Restaurant. You know how he is. Give him authority and he blows something up."

"What in the world do you do outside of the restaurant?"

"I would tell you but then I'll have to kill you." Rocky said slowly with an impish grin, pulling up a chair and plopping down on it, "So how many islands did you blow up?"

"Do I count the one my students blew up? If so two?"

The girl quickly ran off, it was official she was going to need to find another job, her boss was crazy. Who was crazy enough to blow up an island?

Rocky however didn't seem to notice his poor employee's discomfort, he had made himself right at home, "So Kim, anyone we should be aware of. Any dudes that don't take no for an answer."

"Rocky," Tommy said, "As her husband I think that that is my responsibility."

Rocky did a double take, "Husband, Husband, since when did you two got married, and how come I didn't get invited to the wedding."

"We told you that we were eloping," Kim stated, "Remember, after Jason and Trini's wedding."

"I thought that after things calmed down that you would change your mind." Rocky explained.

"When it takes a guy ten times to even ask the question and get an answer, you hurry up with the wedding," Tommy insisted, "Didn't I tell you, I mean we kind of interrupted my honeymoon for that trip to the moon."

"No, somebody," Rocky gave Tommy a dirty look, "didn't invite me on that one."

"Uncle Rocky," Katy called out, tired of being ignored, "Your Restaurant is nice and all, but adding a jungle gym will make it better."

"I myself would prefer a more challenging maze," Cory spoke up where he was doing the maze on the back side of the kids menu.

"I thought the twins are only three," Rocky stated, "most three year olds just scribble over the maze."

"Cory inherited his father's brains." Kat explained, "While Katy here inherited the inability to stand still from, I don't know who, but I feel sorry for her teachers once she gets to school."

Through out the meal the five older rangers chatted about things that they had done since the last time they had seen each other. Finally when there was a lull in the conversation Connor saw a chance to ask, "So, what was the most embarrassing thing Dr. O ever did."

"Oh, that's easy," Rocky stated, "There was this one time..."

Kim jumped up, pushing her chair away from the table, "Okay everybody, hate to break up this story telling party, but... I happen to have an very important meeting I have to get to."

"Karone," Tommy added, "We think that someone brought up Astronema."

Rocky shook his head, "Obviously not a power ranger, we all know that she was brain washed, and that was a long time ago and the service she gave the Lost Galaxy team is far more important."

"Unfortunately not everybody sees that that way, most of them don't even know that Karone served as a power ranger, and some people have a hard time letting go of the past."

"Karone especially," Tommy stated.

"From personal experience the one that finds it hardest to forgive is the one who did it, at least in the power rangers." Kat pointed out.

"Yes well, we need to go," Kim insisted.

"But I want to hear the story," Connor whined.

"No you don't!" Tommy insisted.
