The two weeks of Cabo had come and gone for the Rangers. It was a fun, but memorable trip filled with love, laughter, and jokes. However, since then, things have been fishy between Kat and Jason.
Katherine sat down on the computer to check her email. She and Jason hadn't spoken for about two weeks excluding the day she called him from the hotel room. For the time being, she and Jason shared an email account, but things still puzzled her.
To: Jason Lee
Fr: The Dancer
RE: Kat
Hey you!
Don't worry so much. If there are things you need to talk about, let me know. I'm sure you and Kat will be alright. I mean, you two have been through a lot, especially the numerous times you two broke up for dumb shitty reasons.
Kat looked at the email and sighed, but looked very puzzled with who was emailing Jason. She thought she knew everyone through his friends, but this email was different.
She also knew that he wouldn't do anything to hurt her, but she emailed Jason.
To: Jason Lee
Fr: Kat Hillard
Subject: who is the dancer?
Hi baby,
We just got home from Cabo. Fun times as usual. Anywho, quick question, who is the dancer? Do I know her or him?
Email me back
Kitty
P.S. When I come back to L.A., I'll give you your present. Miss you xoxo
Kat took a deep breath, and pressed send on the computer. The worries continued to escape her, but it made her very miserable.
Meanwhile, piles of letters were stuffed into the Angel Grove home.
"Geez," Adam said. "This is all our mail?"
Tanya laughed as she dug through her mail which contained magazines, letters from her mother, and the ever popular junk mail.
Rocky and Aisha sat next to each other as they opened their mail.
"You're such a dork," Aisha blurted out. "You sent me a postcard from Cabo?"
Rocky laughed quietly to himself and kissed Aisha softly.
"Get a room!" Tommy hollered.
The happy couple laughed and kissed again.
"You guys," Kimberly said. "There's more mail."
Kimberly handed out a medium-sized envelope to six of her roommates which contained the wording:
The Boys and Girls Club of Angel Grove
In the letter it contained the following:
May 5
Dear Real World Angel Grove cast mate,
My name is Ariel Brams. I am the supervisor and coordinator of the Boys and Girls Club of Angel Grove.
The process of this letter is to inform you all on a month's training of becoming a mentor to seven individual children. You will be spending time with them in the facility either playing or teaching them a new sport, sharing goals and ideas, and other things that you may come across.
Please arrive promptly at 9:45 a.m. for your introductory.
Sincerely,
Ariel Brams
"I wonder what our duties will be," pondered Tanya. "I mean, we were once Power Rangers with special powers, but we saved a world from evil. Now, we're helping children."
"This should be fun," Aisha thought to herself. "Maybe we'll be mentoring until the end of the month."
Everyone sighed. This one experience they'd have to deal with – being a mentor to children. The task sounded pretty easy, but it would take a lot of challenges for these seven.
That day after unpacking and sorting out clothing that had to be washed and separated, a phone call came into the house.
"I got it," Kimberly raced over to the phone. "Hello?"
"May I speak with Aisha Campbell, Tommy Oliver, Kimberly Hart, Rocky DeSantos, Adam Park, Tanya Sloan, and Katherine Hillard, please?" the voice spoke.
"I'm Kimberly Hart," Kimberly answered. "How can I help you?"
"My name is Ariel Brams," the woman confirmed. "I am with the Boys and Girls Club of Angel Grove."
"Can you hold on please?"
"Sure."
Kimberly got up from the phone and motioned everyone to meet around the phone. When everyone was by the phone, she put Ms. Brams on speaker phone.
"Everyone is here now Ms. Brams," Kimberly responded. "We'll go around the phone to introduce ourselves if you'd like."
"Will you please?" Ms. Brams asked.
Each of the Rangers introduced themselves:
"Katherine Hillard."
"Aisha Campbell."
"Adam Park."
"Tanya Sloan"
"Rocky DeSantos."
"Kimberly Hart."
"Tommy Oliver."
"Well, it's good to know each of your voices," Ms. Brams stated. "Hopefully I'll be able to see what the seven of you look like."
The seven Rangers laughed to themselves about Ms. Bram's remark. Ms. Brams had worked with the Boys and Girls Club of Angel Grove for about ten years. From that day, she wanted some youthful energy that would provide to the children and their atmosphere. Since then, many children and teenagers look up to Ms. Bram's for strength and wisdom on their daily life schedule. Now, it was up to her to hire some volunteers to help. She wanted several people to help her in various ways that she couldn't do.
ADAM'S CONFESSION
"This seems interesting," Adam confesses. "I mean, really, who are the kids we're going to see, or perhaps, mentor?"
After the phone call, Kimberly got on the phone to call Jason.
"Hello," Kimberly said. "Jase?"
"Hey Kim," Jason responded. "What's up?"
"Nothing much."
"How was Cabo? Is it what it's really hyped up to be?"
Kimberly laughed.
"No, it's just different than any place I've been to. Unique, yes, but I guess it's not like what people think it is. It's beautiful though."
Meanwhile, Katherine was sitting on her bed with something to drink that she made in the kitchen. She took a deep breath and started sorting out her clothes from Cabo. As she sorted out her clothes, her picture frame of her and Jason fell to the ground.
"UGH!" Katherine muttered. "Kattie, get your head on right."
She sighed and picked up the frame.
In the next room, Tommy, Adam, and Rocky were on the computer looking at the video Rocky made while they were in Cabo.
"Man," Rocky laughed. "Look at your face Adam."
Tommy and Rocky laughed as they saw Adam's face all pissed from the swimming competition on the boat they used while in Cabo.
As for Tanya and Aisha, they were sharing secrets about Adam and Rocky.
"Adam tends to snore a lot," Tanya giggled. "I can't bare the fact that he snores rather loudly."
Aisha laughed.
"You think that's crazy," Aisha added. "Rocky used to sleep with his mouth open, especially the time when we were in Australia."
Kimberly peered out with the cordless phone to check up on Katherine who had been sulking around since the end of the trip about Jason.
"Kim," Jason asked. "Is Kitty alright? I've been worrying so much about her."
"Yeah," Kim replied. Kimberly looked out from the phone room to check up her. "I'm sure she's alright. She had fun though in Cabo."
"That's good to know. I just want her to be happy even though she's been away from me for three months."
"Yeah."
"Has she asked you anything about me or anything fishy?"
"No, why?"
"Because, lately, I have some stuff to think about, that's why."
"Oh, like what Jase?"
"Just my future with her and all, I mean I love her Kim. I honestly do."
"Aw, that's sweet bro. I'm happy for you both though."
"Thanks sis. I really am glad you and I are tight like this. How are things with you and Dr. Oliver?"
"His name's Tommy, dufous."
"I know, but it feels weird that he's a doctor now."
"Speaking of doctors, you'll never believe who we saw in Cabo."
"Who?"
"Billy."
"Billy, our Billy?"
"Uh-huh."
"Wow, let me guess, he's a doctor?"
"Yep."
"Wow."
"But, as for Tommy and I, we're still friends."
"You sure about that Kim, I've heard all the time that you two were meant to be."
"Funny."
As Kimberly and Jason continued to talk on the phone, Katherine had walked by. She was a bit stressed out from the trip and also tired.
"WHO'S ON THE PHONE KIM?" Katherine growled.
"Jason, why?" Kimberly questioned. "Are you alright?"
"Me? Alright? I'm fine just that a good friend of mine is now talking to my boyfriend."
"Katherine, stop that. You need to realize that Jason and I are talking about stuff."
"Stuff about me, eh?"
"No, Kat. Good stuff."
"I see. First, you blame for stealing your boyfriend Tommy. Now, this. UGH!"
"Katherine!"
"What!"
The girls thought they settled their argument-free days. However, Katherine wasn't herself. She was emotionally stressed out. She wasn't sleeping well the last few nights in Cabo and her stressors of living in a house with six other people had made her emotionally distraught.
"Kimberly, I thought you were my friend. I really did."
"I am your friend Kattie."
"But friends don't do this to one another."
Kimberly came over to try hugging Kat, but she pushed away.
"Don't touch me."
The rest of the Rangers had heard them scream at each other.
"Here we go again." Adam sighed as he walked out of Rocky's bedroom.
"Ladies!" Tanya screamed. "Can we all just chill?"
"Yes, can't we all just get along?" Adam confronted Kim and Kat.
Before any other arguments could go any further, Tommy had a hold of Kim whereas Rocky had the same with Katherine.
"We've all been through this before," Adam responded. "Now, what the fuck is going on?"
"Nothing." Kimberly sighed. "I was telling Kat here, that her boyfriend and I were talking about certain things about her."
Adam turned to Katherine for a response to his question, "Now, Kat, what seems to be the problem?"
Kat teared and couldn't face Adam. She knew her stress got to her and it was eating her up inside.
The Ranger men had let go of Katherine and Kimberly, and Kim had attempted to hug Kat again.
"I'm sorry," Kat whispered. "I really am."
"It's alright," Kim whispered back. "We're all here for you Kat. Jase is my big brother and I hate to see his Kitty to be sad for no reason." She hugged her tightly.
Kimberly signaled her friends to join in a group hug for Kat.
"GROUP HUG!" Rocky shrieked.
"Ow!" Kat yelped. "You guys, this is rather tight."
The group hugged once more. From that day forward, friendship and love is all a friend needs in the world.
