Chapter 6 Until the End of Time
January 17, 1999 (Con…)
Adam and Tanya were now dancing on the floor. He took a deep breath as he looked down. He was taking a big step in doing this.
"Tanya, we've been going out for over two years already," Adam said.
She lifted her head off of Adam's shoulder and smiled. Adam's shyness was so cute.
"It's been a wonderful two years," Tanya smiled.
"I love you so much, Tanya. I don't want to lose you to someone else," Adam said, spinning Tanya around the dance floor.
Seeing his two beat friends get married did not make Adam jealous, it made him realize how much he loved Tanya.
"Adam, I love you too," Tanya said.
Tanya then noticed that Adam's hands were trembling in hers.
"Adam, are you alright," she asked.
She had never seen him like this before.
"Yeah, I'm fine," Adam told her.
"You're very… shaky," Tanya noted.
Aisha tapped Rocky on his shoulder. Her friend's behavior had started to concern her.
"Rocky, look at Adam," Aisha said.
Everyone now knew about their relationship. Even before anyone was told, everyone had a feeling something was going on between Aisha and Rocky.
"What's up with him," Rocky asked, glancing his way.
"I think he may ask Tanya to marry him," Aisha said.
"What makes you think that," Rocky asked.
"Cause I sort of caught him when he was looking for the ring. He made me swear not to tell anyone," Aisha said.
"You think she's going to say yes," Rocky asked.
"What do you think? Of course she is," Aisha said, hitting him on the back of the head.
"Damn girl," Rocky yelled.
"Tanya," Adam asked.
Not only were his hands trembling, but his voice was too.
"Yes," Tanya said.
Adam nervously took the ring out of his back pocket.
"Tanya Sloan, will you marry me," he asked.
"Oh yes," she smiled.
She pulled Adam to her lips as her eyes filled with tears. Tommy and Kim walked over to Billy and Trini after seeing the pair kiss.
"Hey, did we miss something," Kim asked, pointing to Adam and Tanya.
"It looks like they just got engaged," Trini said.
"How could you tell," Tommy asked.
"If you look their direction, you'll witness Adam placing a circular object around Tanya's finger," Billy said.
Kim and Tommy turned and smiled.
"Why didn't Adam tell us," Kim asked.
"I'm sure he didn't want to take away from your special day," Trini said.
The thought made Kim smile. Her expression then faded.
"Billy, you don't know much it meant walking me down the aisle," Kim said.
She took him in her arms as she began to sob.
"Your dad would be proud," Billy whispered.
She looked up and smiled.
"I felt like he was watching over me today," Kim said.
"He was, Beautiful," Tommy smiled.
"I have so many things to be thankful for," Kim said as Tommy put a hand on her shoulder.
"Hey, Mrs. Oliver," a voice called.
Kim turned to see Kenny and Kathy walking towards her.
"Hey you two," she smiled.
"Hey, has anyone seen Jason and Kat," Kathy asked.
"Sure haven't," Trini said.
"Where's your mom, Kim," Tommy asked.
"Oh, while you were talking to your parents, she left," she said.
"What did your parents think of Kim being pregnant," Billy asked.
"They didn't mind it. Especially knowing it happened while we were engaged," Tommy said.
Trini caught Zack's hand as he passed by.
"Hey, have you seen Jason and Kat," she asked.
"No," Zack said.
"Maybe he finally took my advance and is asking her out," Tommy laughed.
"You and Kim love match making, don't you," Kathy smirked.
"I fixed you two up, didn't I," Tommy smarted off.
Kathy glanced over at Kenny and blushed.
"Guess you did," she said.

Kat and Jason were sitting on a bench outside the hall. The moon was slowly rising up for the night.
"So, how's London," Jason asked.
"It's going great," Kat smiled. "I'm even thinking about opening my own studio here in the states."
That's when Jason's light bulb came on.
"I have an idea. Why don't you open your studio within mine and Zack's dojo," he suggested.
"Oh, but I couldn't. I'd be in your way," Kat said.
"No, you would not," Jason smiled.
"Where will I stay until then," Kat asked. "It'll take almost all my money opening it."
In the end, she wouldn't have the money to live in an apartment, especially in New York.
"That's no problem. There's a bedroom, complete with a small kitchen and bathroom in the complex," Jason said.
"Don't you and Zack live there," Kat asked.
The thought of living with two guys in a small complex did not go over easy with her.
"No, we have an apartment, but like I said, you could stay there. Or with me and Zack if you want," Jason said.
Kat's mouth opened a little.
"What," she asked.
"I'm sure you don't want to though. Zack and I aren't exactly the best house keepers," Jason laughed.
He could see the left over pizza boxes on the counter now.
"If it's alright with Zack, I guess I could open my studio with you guys," Kat said.
"Cool," Jason smiled.

February 3, 1999
In the morning, Kim jolted up and grabbed her stomach.
"Tommy," she screamed.
His eyes quickly came open out the sound of his wife's cries.
"What, what is it," Tommy asked.
"Hold me," Kim cried.
Her trembling body was so cold in his arms.
"Was it a nightmare," Tommy asked.
Her eyes were as red as could be when she looked at him.
"He took our baby. Jeff took our baby," Kim cried.
"It's going to be alright. I'm not letting that happen," Tommy said.
He kissed the top of Kim's forehead. It killed him to see her like this.
"I pray he's caught by the time I start growing," Kim said.
"I do too," Tommy told her.
Kim sighed as she looked at the clock.
"Well, it's already 7:00. Might as well get up," she said.

Tommy walked out if the kitchen as the phone rang.
"Hello," he answered.
"Tommy, is that you," a voice asked.
"Andros," he wondered.
"Yeah, we have some trouble," he said.
"Wait a minute, how did you get my number," Tommy asked.
"T.J. found out for me. Listen, Serpentera's going to be risen," Andros said.
"What does that have to do with me," Tommy asked.
"You and Jason were Red Rangers, and the only ones that ever fought Serpentera besides the rest," Andros said.
"Alright, I see your point. I'll gather all the other Red Rangers for this battle," Tommy told him.
"What are we going to do about Rocky," Andros asked.
"He just had Jason's coin," Tommy said.
"Tommy, we need you and Jason. You're the only one's that know how to defeat this," Andros replied.
"I'll see if I can't get a hold of him," he said.
"Good," Andros sighed.
"Meet us at the edge of town," Tommy said.
After they hung up, Tommy sighed. This was so sudden. Jason was in New York for heaven's sack.
"That didn't sound too good," Kim said.
He quickly turned to find his three month pregnant wife behind him.
"I got to go. I'll have Hayley here with you," Tommy said.
"Tommy, what's going on," Kim asked.
"I'm being called to duty," he sighed.
"What," Kim yelled.
"Only for today, I hope," Tommy said.
"Hayley better be here before you leave," Kim told him.
"She will," Tommy promised.
Before Tommy picked up the phone to call Jason, Kim pulled him to her lips.
"Be careful," Kim said.

Hayley had decided to get Kim out of the house and go shopping.
"Kimberly, I haven't known you for very long, but I do know something's wrong," she said.
Kim turned to her new friend and sighed.
"Hayley, I just want Tommy to be alright," she said.
"Why wouldn't he be," she asked.
"Because, he… he. Man, if you only knew," Kim said.
"What's this big secret," Hayley asked. "I feel like I'm the only one that doesn't know what you're talking about."
Kenny and Kathy had found out by slip of the tongue. They were both in shock that next week.
"Kimberly… Kim, you can trust me," Hayley said.
"You've heard of the Power Rangers, right," she asked.
"Yes," Hayley said.
"Well, Tommy, Jason, Kat, Zack, Adam, Trini, Aisha, Rocky, Tanya, Billy, and myself were all at some point them," Kim whispered.
"No way," Hayley gasped.
"Yeah, and now he came out of retirement for today," Kim said.
"What about Kenny and Kathy," Hayley asked. "Do they know too?"
"Yeah. Oh, Hayley, Tommy hasn't done anything like this for so long. I only pray he'll be alright," Kim cried.
"I'm sure he will be," she smiled.
"That felt really good getting it off my chest," Kim admitted.
She had told Tommy a while back that Hayley should be told about their past.
"Glad I could help," Hayley laughed.
"Now, let's do some shopping," Kim said.
"Now you're talking," Hayley smiled.
The first thing they looked for was baby clothes.
"I can't wait to find out what the baby is," Kim said.
"It better be a girl cause I'm getting this," Hayley told her.
Kim awed when she saw the little pink dress in Hayley's hand.
"Oh, that's too cute," she smiled.

Tommy turned and started to begin walking. It had been a long day for him. The sun was now beginning to set.
"Where do you think you're going," Jason asked.
"I got to get back home. Listen, it was good seeing you bro," Tommy said.
Jason was able to get to Angel Grove with some help from his old communicator. It surprised him that it even still worked.
"Tell Kim hi for me," Jason said.
"Will do," Tommy replied.
Jason was soon surrounded by the other former Red Rangers.
"Where's he off to," T.J. asked.
"Home," Jason said.
"So, that was Tommy," Cole asked.
"Surprised," Andros laughed.
"I always imagined the greatest Ranger as the talkative type," Wes said.
"Greatest Ranger," TJ laughed. "Dude, I'm the one that replaced him."
"Hey now, don't forget me," Jason said. "I was the one doing all the work while he was at the juice bar kissing on Kimberly!"
"So that's why he left so fast," Andros asked.
"Yeah," Jason said. "Kim's expecting their first baby."

I hope your Christmas was a blast. If I have time, I might be able to post another chapter to MMPR: In a Different Light today too.
