AN – Chapter 7. It's more like the missing half to chapter 6! So technically its chapter 6 and a half.

Kim POV

Jason, Aisha, Zack, Billy, Trini and I sat in the Youth Center with our smoothies ("On the house" Ernie had said as he presented us with them when we sat at a table to wait for the others to return. He had seen us walk in and made us our favorites. "For the return of some of my favorite customers.") as we waited for Tommy and everyone else to return.

Suddenly, I caught a red light materialize from the corner of my eye. I turned and saw Tommy enter the Youth Center with a brown adorable teddy bear that was even taller than he was. As he approached, I noticed that it was stitched up in its stomach and its arm.

"This was the monster we had to fight," Tommy said. "When we beat it I convinced Alpha to drain the magic from it. Then I stuffed the stuffing back into it and stitched it back up. Here." He held the bear out for me to take. "A proper welcome home present."

I smiled. Even when the gift used to be a monster, the gifts he gave were so sweet. I gladly accepted the giant bear… and was nearly crushed under its weight. As it was I was pushed onto the ground with the giant 6 foot 6 bear on top of me. I couldn't help it. The bewilderment on my friends faces added to the fact that evil space aliens couldn't do what a giant teddy bear could… it was too much. I cracked up while trying to struggle my way out from underneath the bear.

I heard other laughs join in mine. Then I got pissed.

"Yes I know it's all very amusing," I said, annoyed. "The most kick- butt girl to ever set foot in AGHS, the girl who took on a college wrestler in the first grade – and won mind you – is stuck underneath a giant teddy bear. Now if anyone would be so kind as to GET THE FREAKING THING OFF OF ME BEFORE I HURT SOMEONE!"

Immediately everyone sobered up. Jason pulled the bear off of me and Tommy offered his hand to pick me up. I gladly slid my own hand into his palm and allowed him to assist me in the process of standing up, which took quite a while as he was straining not to start laughing again.

"Oh shut up!" I said, disgruntled. "You know I hate it when a stuffed animal gets the better of me."

And that was all it took for the floodgates to break and all the boys with the exception of Billy to start cracking up again. I slapped each of them hard on the arm, then wrapped my arms around the bears lower half and hefted him up, nearly falling over again before regaining my balance and grabbing my bag from the table.

I walked in a dignified (or as close to dignified as one can get when holding a 6"6 bear) manner out of the Youth Center and to the parking lot. I heard the others follow behind. I got into my car with Aisha and Trini as Billy went with Tommy and my bear into Tommy's jeep and Jason and Zack got into the truck. After dropping off the girls, Billy and Zack at their homes, Jason and Tommy followed me to my mother's old home, which was currently being inhabited my soon to be engaged sister Alice who had bought it from her while I was in Florida. Jason, Tommy and I grabbed as much stuff as we could (which meant I had the bear and my carryon and the boys were carrying or trying to carry 6 bags each.) Then we hauled up the stairs and let ourselves in.

"Kimberly?" I heard a light, melodic voice call out. A woman with short black hair and sharp, pixie like features stepped into the room. My sister, or one of them at least. Alice.

"Oh Kim thank god you're OK!" And she ran up and embraced me
