A/N: here's the second half. Hope you guys like it.

Later that day, after meeting up with everyone at the park, Connor and the guys was playing volleyball while the girls were sitting on the benches. Hayley and Kat were talking about the rangers and the upcoming reunion, Krista was reading, Angela was resting her eyes and Kira had her guitar. While they were there, Connor's cell went off again. Connor's backpack was resting by Kira, so she reached inside and grabbed it.

"Hello?"

"Hi is Connor around?"

"Uh yea, can I ask who is calling?"

"It's Belle," Kim said, "Is this Kira?"

Kira looked at the phone in shock; partially because of who it was, and the other because they knew who she was. She finally regained her composure and answered, "Yes."

"Nice to hear from you," Kim giggled, "Connor talks about you all the time, you and Ethan."

"Really" Kira said pleased.

"Uhuh, I swear that boy talks about you so much, that I feel like I already know you."

"Wow, I don't know what to say."

"You don't have to say anything," Kim said, "You guys are really important to him; and you're also a big part of his life, so it stands to reason that he would talk about you guys."

"Well, as long as it's nothing bad," Kira chuckled.

"Nah, it's all good, nothing but love when he's talking about you guys," Kim laughed.

Despite the fact that this girl was the same girl that she had heard Connor say I love you to; Kira found it very easy to talk to her. There was just something in her voice that put you at ease, so much so that you can't help but like her; and add to the fact that she felt this weird connection with her (if she only knew she was a former ranger, and holder of the pterodactyl powers as well). Kira and Kim ended talking, and found that they did have things in common. They talked until Connor and the others finished their game and came. As she saw Connor approach, she said into the phone, "Oh well here's Connor, I'm sure you still want to talk to him."

"That would be great."

"Hey Connor, come get your phone," Kira yelled.

"Who is it?" Connor asked as he came up to her.

"Belle"

A look of joy spread across his face, and Kira had to avert her eyes as she gave him the phone.

"Hello?"

"Hey ceej," Kim smiled, "What are you up to?"

"Hey, nothing much just hanging out with the guys, you know, relaxing and stuff."

"Oh, and does Kira having your phone count as stuff?" she teased.

"Belle…" he started with a smile slowly building.

"What? I didn't say anything," she said.

"No, but I can tell, you're thinking it."

As Connor was talking on the phone, the others came over. He saw them approach and moved a little, that way he could still see and hear them but he could get a little privacy as well.

"Hey Kira," Tommy said, "Who's Connor talking to?"

"Oh hey Dr O," she replied, "He's talking to his friend Belle from France."

Back to Connor and Kim

"So guess what?" she said.

"What?" he asked.

"I'll be in California on Monday."

"Are you serious?" he shouted.

"You don't have to shout," she laughed.

At his shout the others had looked over towards him with puzzled expressions on their faces. He paid them no mind and turned back to the conversation.

"Belle, this is good news," he said, "Wait why are you coming to California?"

"Oh, my brother is having a little get together, a family reunion he called it, and I'm coming home for it."

There was no doubt that the family reunion was the same one they were going to, and he debated whether or not he should tell her that he knows about her ranger past.

"Connor, are you there?" she asked.

"Yea, I'm here."

"Good, because there was something else I wanted to tell you."

"What's that?"

"Well, since I'm going to be in California, I was thinking about coming to visit you," she said, "You know, to see where you're from and maybe your friends."

At her words Connor gave a shout of joy, and this time everyone stopped what they were doing and gathered around, wondering what had him so happy.

"You're serious? You're actually serious?"

"Yep, I'll in home on Monday, spend some time with my family, then maybe I can meet you somewhere, that is if you don't mind?"

"Belle why would I mind?" he questioned, "This is great news."

"Well I'm glad you're happy, because even though it's only been a few days, I miss you, and I'm glad I'm coming home."

"Me too," he smiled, "Man, this is so exciting. I can't wait."

"Same here, so is there anything new happening?"

"Belle, it's only been like three days, nothing new happened." Even as he said that he thought about how he knew about her being a ranger, and how Kat was here in town and it seems, with Dr O. 'Should I tell her that I know? I mean I would want to know something like this. But then again, this isn't something you say over the phone. But If I don't tell her, and she finds out, which she most definitely will when we see each other on Monday, then I know she will be pissed.'

"Good, well I'll be in Angel Grove Monday morning, so I'll call you when I get there, ok?"

"Alright, sounds good," he replied, "I'll talk to you later then."

"Bye," she said then hung up.

Connor hung up and turned to see everyone staring at him, "What?"

"Why were you so happy?" Angie asked.

"Oh, I just got some of the best news."

"What?" Tommy said.

"That was Belle, and she told me that she was going to be coming home and was thinking about stopping by to see me."

"So we're going to meet the mysterious Belle huh?" Ethan said.

"Yep, you guys are going to love her," he smiled, "She is smart and a lot of fun to be around."

"Yea I bet she's cute too," Trent laughed.

"Nope she's not cute," he said. The others looked on with looks of disbelief.

"What do you mean not cute?" Ethan asked.

"Well, just what I said, she's not cute," he grinned, "She's beautiful."

"Well what's the difference?" Krista asked.

"Well cute implies a puppy or something, you know someone that you notice but don't really take a second look, kinda like Kat, but beautiful means that's just what she is, inside and out."

Ethan and Trent snickered at the look on the blonde's face at Connor's words, while the others looked on in shock. They couldn't believe that he actually said that.

"Connor that was a little rude, don't you think?" Kira asked.

"Not really."

Tommy frowned at his words, but even so, he couldn't ignore the flip in his heart when he heard that particular word, beautiful. He hadn't seen her in so long, and he couldn't help but wonder if she was someone else's beautiful now. He hadn't forgot the letters that he and everyone else got in high school, and while at the time he was angry with her, he knew in his heart of hearts, that she wasn't like that. But when he tried to find her, it seemed like she had just disappeared. He knew that the others had talked to or at least seen her. He wasn't stupid, they weren't talking to her high school, and then all of a sudden they only had good things to say about her. And add to the fact that they all seemed to be dropping hints about something but he wasn't sure what. Whenever Kimberly came up, they seem to be telling him something. Tanya surprisingly had made a remark about the letters when he had talked about it. She had told him that looks can be deceiving and that there might be more to the letters than was let on. What he did find out however, was that she was TCrane. He wasn't stupid, when you're in love with someone, you recognized them anywhere, and he knew Kim's voice anywhere; seeing as how they used to sing to each other often when they were teens. She had sung to him when he had lost his green ranger powers the first and last time. She also sang when he came back as the white ranger, and the last Christmas they had spend as a couple. Just like he had sang to her when she had arrived in Florida. No one knew that he could sing, that he used to when he was a little boy because of his great aunt. He had pretended he couldn't in high school after she broke up with him. So to say the others were surprised was an understatement. They eventually told him that she was, and he had been hurt to know that everyone knew except him. He had gotten comfort when after everyone left; Trini told him that she had wanted to tell him. That she had picked up her phone to tell him more than once, but got scared because she thought he wouldn't want to hear from her. He also remembered something else she had said that night.

Flashback

As she turned to leave, Trini stopped once again and looked back at him, "Hey Tommy?"

"Yea Tri"

"I know that you're still hurt and angry over the letters," she paused, " but I also know that you're still in love with no matter how much you try to hide it, so I'm asking you to listen to me."

When she had mentioned the letter, he had tensed up, and a flash of anger and hurt went through it, but he also knew she was right about him still loving her. He tried to stop loving her, but he couldn't and had finally accepted that he would always love her no matter what; she would always be his Beautiful and his Pink Princess.

Seeing it, she hurried out what she was going to say, "I know you're angry, but whenever Kim comes to you to tell you the truth, promise me that you're going to listen to her first before you fly off the handle."

"Tri, do you know something about why she wrote that I don't?" he had asked. Then he watched as a soft smile came on her face.

"You know Kimberly, and deep in your heart you know that she wouldn't have done something like that without a reason, so I want you to promise that you will listen to her when she tells you, ok?"

"You mean if she tells me."

She smiled again, "No, I mean when; so promise me."

As he looked in her eyes, again he was struck by the sense that she did know more than she was letting on. He suspected that all of them knew. And he conceded that she was right. In his heart of hearts, he knew that the Kimberly he knew and fell in love with wasn't so cruel, so he turned to Trini and said, "I promise."

That seemed to be all she wanted and she left, closing the door behind her softly.

End flashback

Shaking himself out of his thoughts, he turned back towards the group. He still couldn't believe that Connor was so rude and he voiced his displeasure, "Connor, I think you Kat an apology; that was a very mean thing to say."

"I don't think it was that mean," he replied.

"Well, I do, we all do," Tommy replied, "So do the right thing and apologize."

"Fine," he sighed then turned to Kat, "I don't mean to be rude, I got something unsettling news and I guess I'm taking it out on you, so I'm sorry."

"Did I just hear you use the word unsettling, and correctly I might add?" Ethan asked, "I didn't even think you knew what it meant."

The others laughed, "Oh shut up," Connor said then looked back at Kat expectantly.

Kat shook her head, though deep down, she knew it was more than that, she decided to let it go, "It's ok Connor, no hard feelings."

When she moved forward to hug him however, he turned and walked back out towards the field. Stung from the subtle rejection, she retreated back to the table and picked up a magazine pretending that it never happened. The others looked on in disbelief at Connor's actions, and Kira tried to say something, "Kat I don't think he meant to hurt you; he was telling the truth when he said he received some news that upset him."

She waved away her words, "It's alright Kira; I'm fine. Let's not let this ruin the day. I'm sure he's just going through some stuff." 'But that still doesn't explain why I'm the only one he's being rude towards.'

Wanting to placate her and have an enjoyable day, they pushed it out of their minds. The rest of the day passed without incident. Kat avoided Connor for now, and it didn't seem like he had a problem with it. While the others were still puzzled over Connor's behavior, they decided to let it go and instead focused on the upcoming trip.
