Kim and Kira had gotten along well once they got over the beginning tension. When they had decided to call it a night, Kira found the others had been in their rooms for quite a while. Kira and Haley, as the only girls, were sharing a room. Conner and Ethan had a room that connected to Tommy and Trent's room across the hall from the girl's. They were all eager to hear about how the meeting had gone, but went to bed soon after Kira joined them.


7 AM, Room 713

The sun's rays filtered through the blinds on the hotel window, gently shining on Kim's face. She woke to this new light, her time in Florida training her to wake with the sun. "A beautiful day for an awesome concert" She whispered to herself as she walked across the room to look down at the world below her room. Deciding the weather was too perfect to be indoors Kim changed into her swimsuit and headed to the hotel pool. Minus the rocker threads and with some huge sunglasses she doubted any crazed fans would recognize her and if they did she'd just act like a valley girl on spring break who had never heard of Anne Crane. She giggled as she thought out her plan. This was going to be a great day.


7AM, Room 829

A small desk and chair occupied a dark corner in the room. Tommy leaned back in the chair gazing out the window. He wanted to do something, anything that involved movement. He was bored with this room, and it was the perfect weather for working out outside. He had noticed an outdoor pool on the way in yesterday, but he wasn't really in the mood to swim. There was the training room, but he wanted to be out doors. He picked the phone up off the desk and dialed room 714.

"I'm going to kill you!"

"Good morning to you too sunshine" Tommy laughed as he replied; Jason had obviously still been asleep.

"Tommy?"

"Yes?"

"I figured it was Kim… what's up?" Jason seemed more content with being awake now he knew it wouldn't involve going shopping or something girlie with Kim.

"You know of anywhere close by to do some katas outside?" Tommy asked.

"Wouldn't you rather spar with a worth opponent?" Jason asked as a smile crossed his face.

"Yeah that'd be nice if you know where I can find one."

"Bro, I meant me!" Jason shouted play offended.

"Oh… thought you were still sleeping?"

"Nah, I'm awake now…Meet you in the lobby in half an hour?"

"Sounds great, see ya in a few." Tommy said as he hung up the phone.


8AM

Jason had brought Tommy to a small park only a few blocks distance from the hotel. "I spotted this place when we first got here, but Kim wanted to check out all the shopping spots and then we had to get ready for our special guest. Course if we knew it was you we wouldn't have worried about it. Just met you at the airport in gym clothes and came straight here." Jason laughed.

Tommy had thought Jason looked more professional at the airport, and now he knew it was, at least in part, an act. "Come on, this trip is for Kira. You had to make it exciting for her, and is this really the best thing there is to do around here?" He teased Jason.

"Want to go some place really fancy in these clothes? We've got all week to spar."

"Yeah, I think I'd rather catch up and get thrown out of somewhere with my best friend than beat him up." Tommy grinned confidently.

"We'll see who's beating who up later, let's go."

Tommy and Jason spent the better part of the day picking on each other, learning about each other, and almost forgetting they weren't in high school any longer. Later in the afternoon Jason realized it was 4 o'clock and Kim was probably freaking out that he wasn't in his room. Although Tommy had always been the one known for his lack of memory, Jason had left his cell phone on the dresser when he left with Tommy. The men headed back to the hotel to get ready for what was sure to be an unforgettable night.


7 PM, hallway outside room 829

"Come on guys! The limo is outside waiting!" Kira was knocking on the boys' door. If it wasn't for their special passes and ride they would have needed to have left an hour ago. "What is taking you guys so long? Haley and I have been ready for almost an hour!" She really hated how guys made fun of girls for taking so long to get ready. Finally the door opened and all four boys piled out. "Come on let's go!"

Kira had been wondering about a lot of things since Dr. O first threatened to not attend the concert. Her brain had explored more options once it was revealed Anne's "personal friend" was an old friend of his. Now, excited as she was about the concert, she couldn't help but think about their weird relationship again. Dr. O had worn black ever since he'd made the comment that he needed to go shopping just so he could. Yet tonight, just for Anne's concert, Dr. O was wearing the complete opposite, a white shirt.


At the concert

Tommy had to admit, Kim was giving a great show. It wasn't the music he'd always thought she was great at writing, but it wasn't bad. Most of the songs had blended together, not really standing out to Tommy. All except for one, one which truly spoke volumes to Tommy. It was slow, but it wasn't just the song that had giving Tommy chills. Through most of the concert Kim had jumped, danced, played guitar, just really gotten into the song she was performing. For this one, though, she had sat on a stool and simply sang.

"Hey guys, I want to calm it down for a little while and show you all my newest music video. You are the first fans to get to see it, hope you like it!" She had said as the large video screen behind her filled with images made to look like old home videos of Kim and Jason. That wasn't what shocked Tommy, he could handle if they were together and he figured she just wanted her best friend in the video anyway. It was the other scenes that bothered him. Old news footage of the Power Rangers in Angel Grove filled the screen, mostly shots of the pink and white rangers fighting together. Kim's lyrics spoke of true love and taking on the world, and the video showed Kim and Jason as if they could have been rangers, and deeply in love.


After the concert

Jason stood backstage with Tommy and Kira. Kim was giving an interview and they were listening in while the rest of the group waited in a dressing room.

"Anne, is the guy in your new video your boyfriend?"

"No, Jason is a close friend from my childhood, but he's too much like a brother to ever date" Kim giggled as she answered. She'd been prepared for that question, this interview was going well.

"What about the Power Ranger scenes? This is the first time one of your videos has featured something besides real people." Another reported asked.

"I like to think that the Power Rangers are real people. I grew up in Angel Grove, and always thought it'd be awesome to be a ranger. The pink ranger seemed like a princess, and the white ranger was her knight. What girl wouldn't want her best friend to be her white knight while she plays princess?" Kim laughed again. "I just thought it would work well with the whole 'taking on the world together' theme of the song."

After a few more questions Kim excused herself and went to meet Jason and her newest friend, Kira. "Who is that guy talking to Kira?" she wondered as she got closer to the group. "Must be one of her guest." She thought, and then he turned around to reveal himself as none other than the man her newest video was about. "Tommy?" her question came out as barely more than a whisper.

"Anne, this is my teacher, Dr. Oliver. Dr. O this is Anne Crane." Kira said happily, having missed Kim's utterance of Dr. Oliver's first name.

"Hi, it's nice to meet you." Kim said. She wasn't sure how to respond but this seemed the safest bet. "I'll just pretend we never knew each other, that's what he said he wanted" She thought as he shook her hand.

"Hi, you did a wonderful job out there tonight." Tommy said. "I'll just follow her lead...I guess Jason was right, I deserve her acting like we never met." He thought sadly as Jason suppressed a laugh.
