Best Friends In Blue Bay Harbour

Chapter Two

A stroll around town

Christina and Alison were doing the usual, walking around and minding their own business. They had bought a few things for Tommy's birthday next weekend and couldn't wait to give it to him.

'Knowing him,' Christina thought. 'He'd forget his birthday'

Christina shook her head. The older Oliver always forgets things that aren't work related, including his birthday. He didn't really celebrate it since his parents died. But Christina and Alison would always try to cheer him up by doing an all-out party. The reason the legendary Tommy Oliver disliked celebrating his birthday is because on that same day, 12 years ago, his parents had died by Rita Repulsa. Both siblings took it hard and Christina was near to getting adopted again, if it hadn't been for the friendship between her and Alison. Alison had persuaded her brother, Jason, to take the younger Oliver in. Both Oliver's were grateful for their passion on helping them.

Alison sighed as she and Christina ate their ice-cream. Christina having a vanilla ice-cream cone and Alison having a chocolate one. Christina glimpsed at her best friend. "Hey, you alright? Ice-cream too cold for you? Are you turning lactose intolerant?" Christina asked.

Alison shook her head. "I'm just home sick."

Christina nodded with understanding. "Me, too. It's so different compared to Blue Bay harbour. We were closer to the beach." Alison nodded, and then Christina had a thought in mind, smirking at her dark haired friend. "Hey, wanna go boy-watching?"

Alison looked at Christina and they both shared smirking looks. "Definitely!" she exclaimed as they both finished their ice-cream. They went to the main part of the town and went to the mall and to their luck; they saw a few boys gathered together in the arcade. This is what Alison and Christina did best, boy-watch. Boy watching as, they look out for boys that come into their interests, chat with them for a while then ask for their number. The last time they boy watched though, Alison was left with a broken heart and Christina had better things to do with a boy so immature and inappropriate. But to their disappointment, no boys had interested them and went home.

Oliver Residence

"This sucks no TV, no games, no nothing. Just books, books, books. When is Tommy getting a social life?" Alison complained as she lay on the living room couch.

"Hey, I heard that!" Tommy said, coming in from the kitchen. "Look, school starts in a week, go do something productive until then." Tommy suggested.

Both girls rolled their eyes. "You're boring, Tommy," Christina whined. "When's Kim moving in with you? She's more fun."

Tommy sighed. "Look, Kim's still at Angel Grove. She'll be coming here in a few days. She's at her parents' house saying her goodbyes."

Kimberly Hart, now, for two years, an Oliver, was obviously Tommy's wife. The two best friends were shocked to hear that Tommy and Kim were engaged, a little over two years ago. When Tommy was still in high school, with the Zeo ranger team, Kim had given him a Dear-John-letter that said that she had to break things off with Tommy as she found someone else decent for her. But in truth, there really wasn't someone else. Kimberly was pregnant with Tommy's baby. She didn't tell him this, because she knew she would ruin his life if she did. Unfortunately, the baby Kim was carrying didn't have much in him to live, lack of sex. (Please, for everyone's sake, don't be so immature when I put this word in. It's true that most women in America have babies that are stillborn because their parents didn't much like to do intercourse) Tommy, after reading a letter after a few years from Kim, saying that there was never another man, but he was the father of her baby. Tommy had contacted Kim to say he was sorry for everything he had caused harm to her and the baby. And that's when Kim loaded the bomb on him, their baby was stillborn. Tommy felt awful and knew he couldn't fix anything. So, he suggested that he and Kim try again, with their relationship. Before the Ninja Storm team became rangers, Kim and Tommy were wedded. The best friends, Alison and Christina being flower girls. Kat (even though she was Tommy's ex-girlfriend), Trini, Aisha and Tanya were Kim's bride's maids. Although, Trini was maid of honour. Jason, Billy, Rocky and Adam were Tommy's best man. (Sorry if it wasn't who you expected, but it was so dang hard picking the best mans because Tommy worked and made friends with a lot of them) The wedding wasn't much. Just friends and family. Tommy was supposed to invite his brother, David, but didn't have any contact from him for ages. The previous power rangers Tommy and Kim had worked with were there, too. And Alpha 05. And both Kim and Tommy felt that Zordon, in their wedding day, was watching them.

Tommy sighed. "I know I'm not as exciting as Kim, but why don't you go shopping."

Alison and Christina sat up. "Shopping? Like, as in shopping for clothes or stuff for this crappy old house?" Alison said. Tommy rolled his eyes.

"Whatever, here, use my card." Tommy handed them his credit card and both the girls grinned in joy. They were finally going shopping! Like normal girls do.

"Thanks, Tommy!" both girls exclaimed before ninja streaking. (Yup, Christina and Alison are ninjas. They're thunder ninjas to be exact. Although, they were trained in secret by Sensei Omino and Leanne-if you know who they are-of course, you do, what am i saying?- They don't know who Hunter and Blake are, YET! And that's a whole lot of mystery... continuing on with the story and I know this is boring but my friend borrowed my Power Rangers Dino Thunder DVD of the first four episodes so I'm waiting for her to give the thing back for me to continue this story)

Mall

"I can't believe Tommy trusts us with this!" Alison exclaimed.

Christina grinned. "I know, right. Hey, you wanna go to Forever New first?"

Alison nodded and the girls went shopping. They really didn't find much at the mall but a few pairs of suspenders, shorts for the summer, pink for Alison, purple for Christina. They were suddenly hungry after buying a couple of lip-glosses and went to the food court. On their way there, they run into a boy in crimson clad. He had brunette hair and had a crimson shirt that said, "Rock on, dude!" His hair was neat, compared to other boys they see and secretly both girls fell in love with this brunette instantly. They looked at each other and giggled as he stuttered his apologies on nearly knocking them over.

"I am so sorry," he apologized. "I'm in a rush. I'm looking for my twin, have you seen him? He ran off on me and... sorry, I'm spilling you my life story." the brunette apologized again. the girls thought him cute.

"Hey, uh, no problem." Alison smiled and put a strand of her hair that was blocking her face behind her ear. "Say, you look familiar, have I seen you before?"

The brunette boy scratched his head and shrugged. "I don't think so. I would've noticed someone as beautiful as you two before." Both girls blushed. "I'm Eric, by the way." he put his hands in his pockets.

The girls nodded. "I'm Alison and she's..."

Christina interrupted her. "Christina. But you can call me Chrissie, if you like."

Eric nodded. "It's really nice to meet you, but not to be rude, I really have to go."

Both girls mimicked each other and nodded. "Yeah, sure." and with that off he went. Christina and Alison finally found seats to sit in and they burst out giggling.

"Oh my god, he is so gorgeous!" Alison exclaimed.

Agreeing, Christina said, "I know, right, I can't believe how very attractive guys like him around here in Reefside are."

Alison nodded. "Seriously, my heart was beating a thousand miles an hour."

"I know, me, too. It's like... so weird, though. It seemed like he was running from or for something." Christina wondered.

Alison waved it off. "Probably nothing. I can't wait to meet him again. Hey, didn't he say he had a twin, maybe we could double date."

Christina saw the glint in Alison's eyes and how happy those eyes were. They filled with joy, emotion and it convinced Christina that Alison, too, was falling for Eric but knew that if she told Alison that she was starting to fall for Eric, chaos might be at hand, so she just nodded. "Definitely." And that only made the dark haired girl's smile. They stood up and went home, wondering if they would ever meet or see Eric again. Both girls blushing at the thought of him. This would be an interesting development as two best friends will fight to have their right in calling him hers.

A/N: Hey, to all my fans. Sorry for the boring chapter, but I just wanted to give you all the logic on who the best friends would be fighting for. And yes, Eric, as in Conner McKnight's twin brother. Although, it doesn't say in the actual series, Eric is a crimson Thunder Ninja and he was rushing off to class after realizing he was definitely late. His sensei, of course, is ex ranger, Hunter Bradley. Fill you in with details or PM me with questions. I'm also open for ideas. R&R please. Thank you for those who reviewed.
