Tommy and Jason took their seats in their classroom. They looked over to where Kim sits, usually in between them. But her chair is empty. Even Bulk and Skull managed to make it in before the final bell rings, but Kimberly hasn't shown up yet.

"Jase, where is Kim? Could she have ditched to practice?" Tommy whispered to Jason.

"No, she wouldn't do that. She knows that my mother would kill her and she wouldn't be going to the competition." He whispered back.

Where is Kimberly? They wondered. Tommy is the one that is usually late, but Kimberly is never late to class.

"Has anyone seen Kimberly?" Mrs. Applebee asked the class.

No one responded. Bulk and Skull acted like they knew nothing. Usually they don't know what is going on, but this time it is different. This time they had something to do with why she is not in class. Jason looked around the classroom to see if someone might know where his little sister is. Still no response came from anyone. Jason got up to talk to Mrs. Applebee.

"Do you know where she is?" Mrs. Applebee asked him.

"No, but I was wondering if Tommy, Trini and I could go look for her?" Jason asked.

She nodded and Jason motioned to the other two. The halls were empty so it could give them a chance to talk while they looked for her.

"Do you think Rita could have taken her?" Trini asked the boys.

"I think if Rita was behind it, we would have heard something from Zordon. Trini check the Youth Center. Tommy, check the gym. I will look through the halls for her." Jason ordered.

They searched for her, but still could not find her. They saw Mr. Kaplan coming towards them.

"Uh-oh Kaplan," Trini whispered.

"Shouldn't you 3 be in class?" Kaplan yelled.

"We are looking for Kimberly; you haven't seen her, have you?" Tommy asked.

"No, but as soon as you find her, the 4 of you can report to my office." Kaplan told them.

"Great! Just great! Where is she?" Jason said sarcastically now that they got in trouble as well.

"Mrs. Applebee said we could go look for her, right Jase?" Trini asked.

"Yeah, that is what she said. Except, you know Kaplan always so quick to blame us for everything. Remember the Food Fight at the Cultural Festival. Bulk and Skull started the Food Fight and we got blamed for it." Jason said.

"Yeah I remember, but he did end up apologizing for yelling at us." Trini replied.

"I just wish we knew where she was and if she was okay." Tommy said sadly.

"We will find her, and then we will deal with whatever it is that we have to." Trini told them trying to calm them down.

Mrs. Applebee came into the hall. "What, still no Kim?" she asked.

The teens shook their head.

"Well come back to class, you can look for her afterwards." She ordered.

The teens followed their teacher back into the classroom, as they had no choice in the matter. For the rest of the class period Jason, Tommy and Trini could not stop thinking about Kimberly and where she could be. As soon as class was over they started their search again. Kimberly missed the entire class and she had better have a good reason for doing so, Jason thought.

Trini came up to Jason and Tommy, "I think I may have found her." She said.

"What? Where?" Jason said.

"Follow me." Trini said and then led them to the girls' bathroom.

"Trini, we can't go in there." Tommy told her.

"It's okay, I will be the lookout." She replied.


Sorry if this chapter is short; I wanted to save them findin Kim for chapter 3.
