AN: Wow, two chapters in a day.
AN2: The moment we've all been waiting for – the meet between Tommy, Kim, and Katherine. Enjoy!
--
Two days after the girls' night out, it was time to plan a visit to the infamous Tommy Oliver. Kat and Kim placed a map onto the kitchen table as they navigated their way to Reefside.
As a suggestion, Peter recommended several routes to get to Reefside. There were endless possibilities. With the route they were coming from, it would take about an hour to get there. Kim shifted through her cell phone numbers as she thought she had Tommy's new house number.
Oh, Tammy
Oliver, David
Oliver Tommy
The number you have reached has been disconnected. Please try again and calling the number.
The former gymnast and ex-girlfriend arched her brow as she placed her cell phone down. With uncertainty, she placed her phone on the table with a quizzical look to her face. Kat looked at her friend in wonderment as they tried to get their plans started to visit an old flame.
"Any luck in finding Tommy's number?" she asked her friend.
"It said it was disconnected," the petite brunette replied, "but you have his number right?" she asked.
"Let me see if I have it," her friend retorted as she flipped open her pink Razr.
Katherine sifted through her cell phone as she attempted to find Tommy's number. She sifted through the names as she dug through the many names that were stored. With hope and determination, they wanted to make sure this surprise visit was a success.
While going through her cell phone, Kimberly was on the computer digging through mapquest as she attempted to find an easier route to get to Reefside. As she dabbled on the map of California online, a gasp came across the other pink clad woman as she found a dial tone to the infamous doctor's number.
Reefside, California
2:25p.m.
The phone rang that day at the Cybercafe as Hayley Ziktor-Oliver was cleaning up the messes of her many customers that were in the local hot spot a few minutes ago. She heard the phone ring as she continued cleaning. Her friend Chloe was tending to the counters.
Out of boredom, the Oliver's six and half year old daughter Bella was spinning herself around a chair at the counters, as the phone continued to ring. Tommy just entered the café after a long day from work.
"Bella, stop doing that," the mother scolded her daughter, "You're going to make yourself sick. Tommy or Chloe, can someone please get the phone," she asked.
"Cybercafe," the petite blonde answered, "how can I help you?" she inquired.
"Hi, may I speak to Tommy Oliver please?" the former ballet dancer asked.
"Who's calling?"
Kat placed the cell phone into speakerphone mode as she gently placed it onto the kitchen table. She motioned to Kimberly as she turned around from the computer. The two women listened attentively as they waited for someone to answer.
"This is Katherine Rendford and Kimberly Beckensale."
Chloe raised her brow as she heard two unfamiliar names. She handed the phone to Tommy, who gulped before answering the phone, he heard two women he loved and knew as teenagers.
"Hello?" he answered.
"Hello Tommy," the Australian beauty said as she smirked, "how's it going?" she grinned, while looking at her friend.
"Good. Good, how's everything with you?"
"Wonderful, you know who this is right?" said another familiar voice.
"Wait, who is this?" the former Dino Thunder ranger questioned, "Who is there with you?" he asked in wonderment.
"It's Kimberly and Katherine. So, Tommy, surprised to hear us?" the girls asked in unison.
"Yeah, I haven't from you both in such a long time," he said as he sat down on a stool, "what's been going on with you both?" he queried.
"Kat's has a dance school here and I'm a busy working mother," the petite brunette retorted, "Maybe we all can meet up later on today," she suggested.
"Today sounds good," the former legendary ranger said as he looked at his watch, "how does three-thirty sound?" he asked.
"Sounds good to me," Kat replied as she gave a nod to Kim in agreement, "we'll see you soon," she stated.
"See you at my wife's café in a couple of hours," he noted with a smile.
As three former rangers hung up the phone, a sigh of relief crossed their minds. It had been almost ten years the three had seen each other. Therefore, there had to be some form of meet before Kimberly left back to Florida.
Tommy returned the cordless phone to Chloe as he picked up his little girl as he bounced her on his lap. The little girl giggled with delight as she looked up at her father. Hayley returned from clearing up two tables. She embraced her husband as he kissed her cheek.
"How was work?" he inquired as he placed his arm around his wife.
"It was like mayhem in here," she sighed as she plopped her dishrag on the counter, "six tables full of students," she sighed once more.
"Aw, my poor wife," he said in joking pity, "don't worry, I'm sure Conner, Ethan, and Kira can help around. By the way where's my son?" he scoffed a joke as he kissed her cheek.
Hayley pointed out to her husband their son, who had been in front of the computer almost the whole day with Ethan. The two were playing video games nonstop. Tommy shook his head. Their eldest son was an avid video gamer, but Ethan was blessed to have a nine year old partner to play with.
"Patrick Leonard," the black clad man said as he walked up to his son, "have you done your homework?" he asked.
"In a minute dad, I'm about to win this," Patrick stated as he jabbed his opponent.
"Patrick did you?" he ordered.
Tommy walked closer to his son as placed Bella down. He folded his arms as he came face to face with his son. Patrick looked up as he gulped. He placed the console down as he saw his father's angry look ensue him. His eyes wandered in fear.
"Dad," the young boy said as he looked up at him, "I did my homework. You can ask Ethan. Right Ethan?" he asked his father's friend.
"He's right Dr. O., I saw him do his homework and in fact, helped him," the former blue Dino Thunder ranger said as he looked at him, "don't worry, it's a Friday," he said.
"I hope you're right Ethan," the teacher replied, "Patrick, do me a favor and help your mother tend the counters please," he instructed.
"Yes Dad," he said as he placed the console down, "I'm going to win next time Ethan," he chuckled as he left.
As Katherine and Kimberly began their drive to Reefside, they anticipated on how their ex-boyfriend would react to them visiting, meeting him the first time in nearly a decade.
While driving through the many areas of California, they anticipated the many reactions from those that knew them as the other half that belonged to a former ranger.
Kira and Conner entered the café a few minutes later as they sat down on the couch as they shared it with Ethan and Tommy. They greeted their friend and science teacher as they started their conversations.
"I can't believe Dr. Michaels gave two exams in one day," Conner sighed, "It's like my brain went through a pressure cooker or something," he cackled a laugh.
"You? How about Dr. Mercer and his lecture on Romeo and Juliet?" the young yellow clad teen replied, "I have never seen him talk about love so much," she giggled.
"Maybe he's in love," Ethan joked as he placed his console down, "You never know," he shrugged.
Pillows were thrown in defense as Tommy looked up at the clock. It was now five minutes to three. He dwindled his thumbs as he counted down silently in meeting the two women that used to be in his life. While waiting Trent arrived with his father Anton as the two started talking to Hayley and Chloe.
"What will it be?" Chloe asked as she propped up her order pad.
"Two of your finest milkshakes," Anton ordered, "Trevor, have you spoken to your mother about your report card?" he asked.
"Oh Dad," the white clad teen whined, "I'll get it to when we get home," he sulked as he placed his apron around his waist.
As everyone continued chatting, minutes counted down as Kim drove her and Kat to Reefside. The former pink rangers anticipated a new beginning as they looked forward to meeting the man known as Dr. Tommy Oliver.
It was now three fifteen. Fifteen minutes until Tommy saw the two women that were his teammates, as well as former girlfriends. He flipped through a magazine as he waited as time went by.
His children were sitting at two tables either were doing homework or drawing as he continued to read. Hayley was tending to several customers as Chloe rang up a bill for another.
Upon arrival, Kim placed the car into park. She looked at her pink clad friend as they got out of the car. They were nervous as they looked at each other, as they began to enter the Cybercafe.
The two former pink rangers entered as a young man opened the door for them. He gasped as he nudged two of his friends, who also widened their eyes.
"Check it out," Conner said as he walked up behind the two females, "two gorgeous women. This day can't get any better," he chuckled.
"Conner, sit down," Kira said as she scolded her boyfriend, "I'm sorry. My boyfriend can be a handful at times," she said as she stuck her hand out.
"I'm Kat and this my friend Kimberly," the Australian said as she introduced herself to the girl, "And you are?" she inquired.
"Kira Ford," she smiled as she turned to her friend, "and this is Conner McKnight, my flirtatious boyfriend," she said as she rolled her eyes at him.
The three women shook hands as Hayley looked up from filling out an order. She smiled a little as she saw the two unfamiliar women. As she walked over, she placed the order book down.
"Who is it that you're looking for?" she asked.
"Tommy Oliver," Kimberly replied as she took her seat at one of the tables, "Is he here?" she questioned the fuschia-haired woman.
Tommy looked at his watch as he got up. As he walked up to the counter, he took notice of the two pink clad women talking to his wife. He arched his brow as he walked up closer.
He placed his arm around his wife in gesture as he greeted them. He was surprised the two women that were known to be in relationships with him in the past, literally changed a lot.
"Kim? Kat? Oh my god, it's been a long time since I've seen you both," he smiled.
He took his seat at the table as his wife stood next to him. He introduced her and the conversations began. Hayley shortly returned as she placed two glasses of water for her husband's friends on the table.
"So, what brings you here to Reefside?" she inquired as she took another seat next to him.
"Oh we thought it would be a nice surprise to visit Tommy," the Australian beauty retorted as she sipped her water, "It's been a long time since we've seen you," she smiled.
"Kat contacted me, and then she suggested that she and I meet up," the petite brunette answered, "then this later involved us to letting ourselves meet you," she gave a nod.
"Oh. What's been going on with you both? Married? Kids?"
Both Kim and Kat pulled out their wallets as they dug through many pictures of their happy little families. Tommy saw the two men that were around his former girlfriends as he felt a lump forming in his throat. Kat was the first to show her little family.
"Right here you have Peter, my husband followed by our two beautiful children," she smiled.
"They look just like you; blue eyes and all," he grinned.
Hayley looked at the pictures with her husband the two smiled at their friend as Kimberly was next to brag about her life. She placed her pink Louis Vutton wallet next to Kat's Dolce and Gabana wallet.
"Mike and the kids," she beamed.
"Your kids are adorable. Both of you," Hayley smiled, "What are their names?" she asked before calling theirs over.
"Kim's are Carter and Manuela," Kat explained as she pointed to Kim's two children.
"And Kat's are Kayla and Devon," Kim agreed in a nod.
Tommy called his two children over. The two Oliver children were playing a board game when they walked over to greet their parents' friends. Bella smiled as she hugged both Kimberly and Katherine. Pat shook the hands of the ladies as he warmly smiled at them.
Yet into the day, the former love triangle continued on with their catching up of their lives. Only time would tell how much information the three could provide.
