Chapter Fifteen-A Day for Fun

As soon as Ann walked back into the main room, she looked back at Ted (whose hand she was still holding), and smiled at him. Then she caught site of her older brother, and immediately let go of Ted's hand and ran over to him.

"Ahh!" David yelled, as Ann jumped on him from behind, and hugged him. "God Ann stop trying to kill me."

"Thanks David."

"For what? Letting you strangle me?"

"No." Ann said, laughing. "Thanks for just being there."

"Uh, no problem." He looked very confused.

"God, you have a thick skull." Ann said, shaking her head at her brother's expression. "Thank you for helping me back there, and you know when else."

"Oh, that." David said, now with an understanding look on his face. "Well, what are older brothers for?"

"It's fun to use older brother's as punching bags." Jason said, walking over to his two siblings.

"No, that's what you use little brother's for." David said, walking towards his younger brother.

"Get away from me!" Jason yelled, running away as his brother started chasing him. "Ahh, somebody help me!"

"No thanks." Ann said. "And Jason, you scream like a girl."

"I do not!" Jason said still trying to avoid his brother.

"Yes, you do." Kimmie said, from where she stood on the other side of the room, with Kaylie. Jason tried to stick his tongue out at her, but that was way too much multi-tasking for him. He tripped over his own shoelaces, which he had been too lazy to tie, then fell flat on his face. He wasn't hurt, but David caught up to him, and sat on his legs.

"So, you wanna see how fun it is to be my punching bag?"

"No. Come on David." Jason said pleadingly. "You know I was just joking, right? I mean come on, I would never use you as a punching bag."

"You know Jason." Kimmie said, as she and Kaylie walked over. "I really don't think David got the message."

"She's right." David confirmed. "And as Ann already pointed out to me, I have a very thick skull."

"Hey guys." Kim said, walking into the room. She didn't seem to think anything was odd about Jason being face down on the ground, with his brother sitting on his legs, and two of the girl's just standing over them, talking. "I thought maybe we could all do something together today."

"Ooh, can we go to the mall?" Kimmie and Kaylie said together, immediately.

"That is an excellent idea." Kim said. "I knew I like you guys for a reason. The mall it is then. Oh, and guys we can also go see a movie or something while we're there, since I know how much you really want to go shopping with a bunch of girls."

"I don't care what we do." Jason said. "As long as it involves David getting off of me. You know David, you aren't exactly what I would call light anymore."

"Are you sure?" David said, still sitting on his brother's legs. Jason gasped.

"David, get off of him." Kim said.

David looked dejectedly at his mother. "Oh, alright."

"This is going to be so much fun." Jason said. "No matter what, David will have to do what you say, cuz you're our mom."

"You have to do what she says too." David said.

"So, I'm not the one who sits on people's legs just for fun."

"Oh, stop arguing you two." Ann said.

"This is what I have to look forward to?" Kim asked the room at large. Kaylie and Kimmie nodded their heads.

"Just wait until you meet Willie and Zachary too." Kaylie said. "It gets worse."

"The first thing I'm gonna do when I get back, is kill Tommy." Kim said. "There is no way I'm gonna have five kids."

"Mom!" Jason said, shocked. "Don't you like me? Don't you want me?"

"Who would like you?" Ann asked. Jason looked pleadingly at his mother.

"I'm just kidding Jason. Of course I like you, and I want you. I'm sure you were an adorable baby."

Jason blushed scarlet. Kimmie laughed. "You should see the pictures."

"I'll take them. Then I'll show all of them to you." Kim said conspiratorially to the girl.

"You will." Kimmie confirmed.

"No, don't you dare." Jason said.

"Oh come on Jason. I've seen them, you didn't have a problem with that." Ann said.

Jason muttered something under his breath about Ann being his sister, and her seeing him as a baby anyway.

"What was that?" David asked. "We didn't quite catch that. Why is it that you only have a problem with Kimmie seeing your baby pictures?"

Jason blushed scarlet again, and this time, so did Kimmie. Kim broke the silence. "So, where exactly are we gonna go? I went into town yesterday, and nothing seems to have really changed. Ted, you live there, and I don't know how often the rest of you go there. I don't really even know where any of you live."

"I live in Reefside." Kimmie said.

"Reefside." Kaylie said. "Next door to Kimmie."

"I actually live across the street from Zack and Aisha." Ted said.

"We, live in the middle of nowhere." Ann said, indicating herself and her brothers.

"The middle of nowhere." Kim repeated slowly. "Well, that will be interesting."

"Trust me." David said. "You'll love it."

"So." Kaylie said. "Where are we gonna go? I liked the mall suggestion."

"NO!" The boys all shouted at once.

"We absolutely refuse to go there. Especially with you people." David said, indicating himself and the two other guys standing beside him.

"I think I'll take that as a compliment." Kim said. "I've always prided myself on my shopping skills."

"Shopping skills?" Ted said incredulously. "What, is shopping a sport or something?"

"I wish." Kim and Ann said together.

"Like mother, like daughter." Jason said darkly. "The two of you have scarred me for life."

Kimmie giggled behind her hand.

"I say we go to a movie." Ted said. "It's something we can all do."

"I'm with Ted on that one." David said quickly.

"Me too." Jason said.

"I guess." Kaylie said.

"Why not?" Kimmie said.

"Because we could go shopping." Ann answered. "But I'm in anyway."

"Then a movie it is." Kim said. "Zordon and Alpha are working on the zords right now, but I told him I was gonna do something with you guys today. Let's go."

So the seven of them, with Kim holding Ann's arm, stood in a line and teleported to the outskirts of Angel Grove. When they got there, they saw that there was barely any evidence of the attack from earlier. It might have been twenty years since the last monster sighting in Angel Grove, but the people were still prepared to clean up the mess they usually left behind.

"So," Ann said, "Where is the theater?"

"That way." Kim and Ted said pointing in the same directions. Ted laughed.

"I guess you were right when you said not much had changed." Kim laughed too.

So the group walked in the direction the two had been pointing in. They were silent for a while, looking around at everything they passed. Five of the seven of them having never lived there, and not visiting all that often, and Kim not having seen very much the day before. She missed this town so much. As much as it had remained unchanged, it was still different.

As for Ted, he was staring, as inconspicuously as possible, at Ann. Did she really kiss me? I guess David and Jason were right then. But seriously, did she really kiss me? She did, that's not something I think I would imagine, but did she mean it?

Meanwhile, Ann was thinking just about the same thing. I can't believe I kissed him. But what if he doesn't like me like that? I will be even more embarrassed than I was before. And that was really embarrassing, but at least I didn't kiss him in front of everyone. But he'll probably tell David and Jason anyway. They are like all best friends. I hope he does like me though, cuz I really like him.

"Here it is guys." Kim called, over her shoulder. Everyone seemed to be looking at the scenery, but Ted was staring at Ann, and you could tell Ann wasn't really paying attention to anything. "Hello? Are you even paying attention to me?"

"Oh, yeah, sorry." Kaylie said. "It's just that the only times I've ever been to Angel Grove, we never really saw anything. Everything is so interesting here. And there is so much stuff about the power rangers."

Kim smiled. "They just had a statue dedicated a couple years ago. That was the last time I saw Billy."

"Uh, yeah, mom?" Ann said. "That happened more like twenty years ago. But we all know what you mean. It was dedicated in 2001."

"So, what movie are we gonna see?" Ted asked.

"I don't really feel like movie anymore." Kimmie said. "Isn't there a park somewhere? We could go there."

"That sounds like fun." Kaylie said. "Hey Ted, do you think your parents are home right now?"

"They aren't. Dad had to work, and mom decided to go in to work today too, cuz I wasn't gonna be home. And Teresa is at her friend's house for the day. Why?"

"We could have a picnic, and we could get food and stuff from your house." Kaylie said. "But no one is supposed to see Kim. Do you think it would work?"

"It's a good idea." David said. "No one would notice Kim. It's not like she's an alien or anything."

"Oh, thanks."

"Nothing personal. Besides I said you weren't an alien. You should take that as a compliment."

"We should do it." Ann interrupted. "How far away is your house from here Ted?"

"Just a couple of blocks. Come on, let's go."

So, with the change of plans the seven of them changed directions to Ted's house. When they got there, Ted unlocked the door, and let them in after quickly making sure his parents and sister really weren't home. The girls immediately went into the kitchen, because they didn't trust the boys to get the food. David turned to Ted.

"So, what's up with Ann? She seemed fine after she woke up. Did she like forget everything, because before she refused to even look at us."

"She woke up, we talked." Ted said. "And she sorta kissed me."

"You just talked-. Wait a minute! She kissed you?" Jason said, loudly, but hopefully not loud enough for the girls to here him in the kitchen. Ted nodded, David smirked.

"See, told you she liked you. And you didn't believe me. You people should learn to trust my judgement. I mean, have you seen the way Jason and Kimmie have been flirting with each other all day? I am a matchmaker." David declared.

"No offense bro." Jason said. "But isn't that a woman's job?"

"Shut up." David responded.

"Dude, he's right."

"So? You kissed my sister, and he's been flirting with Kimmie. I was right all along."

"She kissed me."

"Same thing."

"You are so lucky Willie isn't here." Jason said. "If he had heard you say that, he would have given you a very in-depth explanation of why those two things are not the same thing. You, probably all of us, would have been bored out of our minds."

David ignored his brother. "So, what happened after she kissed you?"

"Nothing. We went back to where everyone else was."

"You mean you didn't kiss her back?" David said. "What's wrong with you?"

"Are you saying you would have kissed your sister?"

"Ok, that is an image that I did not just need to see." Jason said.

"What was?" A voice said from the doorway. It was Ann. The girls were done in the kitchen.

"Nothing." The boys said quickly.

"Whatever. We're ready to go."

Ted quickly ran into the garage and grabbed a basketball before they left. When they got to the park, they found it empty except for a woman with two kids at the playground equipment. Her two daughters were playing on the monkey bars. The group went a little way away from them, but still near enough so that the boys could play basketball. Kim didn't want to go so far away that they would be across the park from one another.

They spread a blanket out underneath a tree and sat down. One of the girls at the park gave a shout, and they all looked over at her.

"Oh no." Ann said softly. "That can't be…"

"Who is it?" Kim asked, then, "Oh man. There are plenty of other parks around here you know. She had to choose this one. I have to go. I'll be back as soon as she leaves."

"What are you people talking about?" Jason asked.

"Why?" Ann said exasperatedly. "Why don't you have blonde hair? You should, you know."

"What?"

"Hey guys!" The little girl from the park had run over.

"Hi Mimi." Ann said. Jason gasped.

"Mimi Taylor! What are you doing?" The girl's mother had just noticed her daughter was no longer on the monkey bars.

"Mom! Come here! Look who I found!" Mimi's mother walked over.

"Hi Aunt Aisha." Ann said.

"Ann Oliver, what are you doing here?"

"We came to see Ted for the day." Kimmie said quickly. "We didn't think we'd see you here."

"Well it's nice to see all of you." Aisha said with a smile on her face. "But where are Willie and Zachary? Didn't they come too?"

"Uh no." Jason said slowly. "They uh, they had to uh…"

"Willie had summer school and Zachary had soccer camp." Ann answered, thankful that she had remembered what her mother had been saying the night before at dinner.

"Willie had to go to summer school?" Aisha asked. "Are you sure we are talking about the same person? The same Willie Oliver who could be Billy's own son."

"I'm glad he's not." Kimmie muttered. Aisha laughed.

"He isn't attending summer school." Ann explained. "He's teaching summer school."

"That boy needs a life."

"You're telling me." Jason said. "Some people actually mistake me for him. Is that not ridiculous? I mean come on, who couldn't tell the difference between me and my identical triplet brothers?"

"Gee I wonder how people could mistake you for someone who, as you already pointed out, is identical to you?" Ann said sarcastically.

"Well, it was nice to see you guys. I should go back now. I left Andrea on the monkey bars."

"By Aisha, bye Mimi. Tell Uncle Zack and Eric that we said hi, and Andrea too."

"Ok. I'll see you guys around." Aisha took her older daughter's hand and led her back to the playground equipment.

"That was close. Is Kim coming back?" David said.

"Yeah, here she comes now." Kaylie said, pointing behind him.

"Jeez. There are way more interesting parks in other places in this town." Kim said. "She just had to choose this one, didn't she?"

"She loves this park." Ann said. "It's where Uncle Zack proposed to her. And they had their wedding here."

"In the park?" Kim asked amazed. Ann nodded.

"It was a beautiful day. You were the maid of honor. Kimmie and Kaylie were the flower girls."

"I still say I should have been the ring bearer." Jason said in a disgruntled voice.

"Oh, grow up!" Kimmie said. "Willie made a way better ring bearer."

"Excuse me?"

"You heard me. Besides I thought you refused to be the ring bearer. Something about being too shy to go up there in front of everyone? Zachary had a broken leg and he couldn't do it."

"Ok, you made your point. You can stop talking now." Jason said.

"What's wrong?" Ann asked. "You don't seem as eager to hear Kimmie talk when she's saying things that you don't want other people to hear."

"What is it with you people?" Kim asked suddenly. "Why do you always argue with each other?"

"That's what happens when I have four brothers and no sisters." Ann said. "But don't worry, we don't usually argue this much. It's really Willie and Jason you have to worry about."

"Hey!"

"What? I think it's best to tell her the truth now, so she doesn't have to waste years of her life trying to figure out which of her kids get along well with each other."

"How thoughtful of you." Jason said dryly.

"I know, it was." Ann said. "Don't you think so David?"

"What? Oh yeah. So thoughtful."

"I can't wait to meet you people." Kim said.

"That sounds kind of weird when you say it like that." Kimmie said.

"I agree-." Jason started to say.

"Of course you do." Ann said smirking, and cutting her brother off. "It's Kimmie."

"As I was saying, I agree, cuz you've already met me."

"Do you realize how much like Willie you just sounded, Jason?" Kaylie asked.

"You'd be the expert on that, wouldn't you?"

"Gosh! You people argue too much." Kim said suddenly. "We are here to have fun. Since none of you can agree to behave like normal people, because normal people don't argue with each other for a living, then you are gonna do what I say."

"Now that, is more like your mother." Ted said under his breath to David.

"Kimmie, Jason, David, and Kaylie, go play basketball. Ann and Ted go take a walk around the park or something. The two of you need to talk."

"About what?"

"I think you know."

"What if I don't?"

"Then you should be the one with the blonde hair, not Jason."

"Ouch, that hurt."

"Shut up Jason."

"You two- walk. You four- basketball. Now."

"Aye, aye captain."
