Chapter Four

Tommy was now at home. He had decided to wait to call Kimberly. He didn't want to do it in a public place and he was still not confident enough to try, so he decided to come home and shower first.

While in the shower, the Green Ranger did a lot of thinking. He really wanted to ask Kim out, but his mind kept getting in his way. He knew the girl seemed interested in. She was always helping him and being nice to him. She always seemed grateful when he helped her. She never hugged the other Rangers like she him. Could it be that she would say yes?

Jason, Zack, and Billy said she would. They all seemed so sure about her answer too. They had been quick to tell him so.

Tommy got out of the shower and dried himself off. Pulling on some sweatpants, he made the small trek to his room. He closed his door as he entered and tossed his towel towards his clothes hamper, not caring whether it went in or not. He sat on the edge of his bed and buried his head in his hands.

Why was it so hard for him to tell if a girl liked him or not? He couldn't understand why he was so dense when it came to it. It just didn't make since.

The Green Ranger sighed and fell back onto his mattress. He had to make a decision soon. The dance was barely a week away and the longer he waited to ask Kimberly out the least likely she will be available. The Pink Ranger was an attractive girl and Tommy knew many guys, including Skull, wanted to take her to the dance.

Sitting up again, Tommy groaned. He didn't like the thought of Kimberly going to the dance with anyone other than him. He felt a powerful pull of jealousy as he reached for the phone and dialed the girl's number. He knew this feeling well. He had felt it the entire time he was evil. It was a dangerous jealousy and Tommy knew if he let it control him, he would happily return to Rita's side.

"Hello," asked the sweet voice of the Pink Ranger.

"Hello, Kim," Tommy said as confidently as he could.

"Hi, Tommy," Kimberly said happily. "How are you?"

"I'm good," he answered.

"That's great," Kim said. "Are you having any more nightmares?"

Tommy sucked in some breath. He had a lot of nightmares after his time as an evil Ranger. Every time he had one he would find himself waking up five minutes to an hour and since his dreams usually involved them, he would reach for his communicator to either talk to Kimberly or Jason. They would talk to him and tell him it was okay and that they forgive him. Every time he believed them and would go back to sleep.

"No, this isn't about my nightmares," the Green Ranger said.

He decided to take a serious approach to this. He knew the Pink Ranger would more than likely listen to what he had to say if he sounded serious.

"Then what is it about," Kimberly asked and by the tone of her voice, Tommy could tell that she was getting worried.

He couldn't help but think that Kim's worry could benefit him right now and keep him on his goal.

"I want to talk to you about something," he told her.

"Okay," Kimberly said. "You can tell me anything, you know that."

"Yeah, I know."

Tommy ran one hand over his sweats and then switched the phone into that hand to do the same to the other. He was so nervous he was sweating.

"Could you meet me at the park in an half hour," he asked before he lost his nerve.

"Yeah, sure," Kimberly answered. "Where exactly in the park?"

"The entrance closest to the lake," he said.

"Okay," Kimberly said. "I'll see you there."

"Alright, bye," Tommy said.

"Bye."

Tommy hung up his phone and stood. He had to find something to wear and then remember where the entrance closest to the lake was.
