As Peter drove the girls down to the summer home in Longshore, Kim and Kat continued their conversation on catching up with each others lives. The two of them laughed at the jokes they remembered from when either one of them was married.
The drive was long, but that didn't stop two former rangers from laughing and joking around. The two recapped the youth they remembered, as well as their lives. With their lives that had changed since teenagers, they left the city they left behind.
"Hey Kim," Kat said as she turned around a little, "Have you heard from Tommy since you got married?" she inquired.
"Nope," the brunette said as she fixed her light brown hair up in a braid, "Have you?" she asked.
"Didn't he marry someone?"
"That's what I heard. You know her?"
"Nah, I've heard stories from Rocky and Adam about her. You don't think."
Kimberly arched her brow at the pink clad woman. The two questioned each other back and forth about the man they used to love, Tommy Oliver. Oliver, a young twenty-something year old, was a stunning, chocolate-brown eyed man that swept the girls' hearts at a young age.
His life began when he first arrived in Angel Grove. He later met Kimberly through a social group of friends. The two were close knit, like eggs and ham. However, when Kim left for Florida, his heart was crushed. Years went on and Kim had met someone else through a letter. Months into mending his broken heart, he dated Kat for a year before college. The break up was mutual.
Ten years ago, the three met up again when Tommy and his friends were training for a karate tournament, which Rocky had injured his back from. Since then, things changed when the three parted ways again.
Now, the three were married to respective partners and have children of their own. Kim tied up her braid as she placed it in a bun. She looked at Kat as they started chatting up again.
"You know," Peter said as he turned into the drive way, "I heard this Oliver guy lives in Reefside," he said as he placed the car in park.
"Reefside?" his wife inquired, "You sure about that?" she asked.
"Yeah," the dark blue clad man said, "Now, get out of my car," he joked as he unlocked the doors.
The three grabbed Kim and Kat's suitcases as they rolled them up the house. Peter unlocked the door as the two women screamed with delight. The summer home was still the same way the two remembered.
"Congratulations Kat!" Kim replied as she hugged her pink clad friend, "Or should I say, the future Mrs. Rendford?" she giggled.
"Aw, you guys," Kat sniffled, "You guys are the best!" she teared as she looked around the home that was decorated in bridal shower décor.
All around the summer house was array of Kat's close friends from Australia. Her mother was in attendance, smiling brightly at her middle child. Kat raced over and hugged her as she received kisses on the cheek.
"Mommy," she whispered softly, "I'm so glad you're here," she smiled.
"I am too Kat," Melanie Hillard, Kat's mother said as she hugged her daughter, "I wouldn't miss this for the world," she replied.
Kat inhaled her memories from the home as she looked at the pale white walls which adorned pictures of her children, her husband, and her. She smiled once more as she looked at the areas of the home.
Kimberly gasped as she still remembered how the home looked five years ago. This same home welcomed in many memories, as well as many parties she and Kat threw as business women.
"To our futures," Kat toasted her friends, "What the future may hold," she clinked her champagne flute.
Kim had returned back to Angel Grove in 2002. She was a busy art student, but also was planning to teach art at a local junior high school. During the intervening time, she had applied for six jobs, one of which replied. In response to the news, Kat had thrown her a party at the summer home.
The girls laughed and joked around with their friends. Tommy was in attendance with some of the notable guests. Kat was with Ryan, a theater producer, whereas Kim was dating a young man named Bradley.
Tommy was dating a young woman named Mariah, whom he met through a social group of friends in college. The two were on and off during their relationship.
"This'll be so fun," Kat beamed as she placed her bags next to the stairs, "It'll be like the good ole days," she remarked as she looked at the pictures.
"Yeah," Kim replied looking around, "Maybe our stash is still here," she teased as she looked at Peter's blank stare.
Peter looked at the two women, but laughed. He carried in their luggage as he propped himself up on the recliner. He grinned gently as he pulled his wife onto his lap.
"Peterrrr," the young blonde woman shrieked, "You always have to do that," she smirked.
The muscular dance instructor laughed as he kissed her hand softly before allowing her to get back up. Kat walked over to Kim as they started talking again.
"Maybe we should go visit him," she noted as she looked at the patio, "It wouldn't hurt if we do go, right?" she said in a nod.
"Yeah," Kim let out a sigh, "Besides, we're all grown adults. Nothing can hold us back, right?" she queried.
"Right."
"Let's say we plan a visit to Dr. Tommy Oliver's home in Reefside, but when?"
"I say middle of this month."
"Sounds good."
The two girls nodded in agreement as they went upstairs to unpack. Peter relaxed on the recliner as he shut his eyes to take in a little nap.
