In the kitchen

The others were standing around the kitchen wondering what was happening between Kim and Tommy, well it was more like, the original rangers including Kira and Connor were on one side while Hayley and the others on the other. They were all angry at the red-head, but it was Kira that spoke, "Hayley what the hell is your problem?"

"Kira…"

"No," Kira interrupted, "In all the time I've known you, you always find out the facts before you accuse people and you just went off on Kimberly for no reason."

"I want to know why," Connor said with his arms crossed. Hayley looked out at them. In truth she was angry with herself for what happened. She knew that she could've had handled it better than that but she had gotten angry and when Tommy got up, the anger just came out.

"I'm sorry about what happened," She started only to be cut off by Rocky.

"Sorry doesn't make up for the fact that you hurt my baby sister," he said.

"Everything was going fine; it wasn't until you came back downstairs that your attitude change," Tanya said, "So what happened to make you angry at Kimberly?"

"Well I went to Tommy's room to look for something…

Flashback

Hayley was in the room that Tommy and Kat were staying in. she was currently going through his bag. "Where is it?" she exclaimed. She thought about going through Kat's bag, but decided against it. Even though they were friends, she didn't know the blonde well enough yet. She continued searching Tommy's bag, when she came across a pocket. She opened it and a folded piece of paper fell out. "What's this?" she took up, sat on the edge of the bed and read it. "Oh my God, this is the letter that Kimberly sent him." She re-read it again, and sighed, "No wonder he was jaded about love, if I had got this I would be too."

End flashback

"When I read that letter, I just got so angry," She said, "I couldn't understand why someone would hurt the person they claimed to love like that; or why they would use such a coward's way out."

"And instead of asking or keeping your mouth shut," Trini said, "You went off on Kimberly."

"Tommy's been my best friend since I met him," Hayley said, "And I knew he was still hurt about the letter, I guess I was just trying to protect him from being hurt again."

"You know Tommy, but you know nothing about Kimberly except the fact that she broke up with him" Aiesha said, "We were the ones that were affected by the letter, you're smart, don't you think if we're all buddy-buddy with Kim then that means that there was more going on? That we knew the truth?"

"I never thought of it that way," Hayley said.

"There has to be more to it Hayley," Kira said, "Even if you were concerned about Dr O, you still pretty harsh."

"Kira's right," Jason said.

"I guess the only reason I was so mad was because I met Kimberly, and after meeting her and seeing the type of person she was," she started, "When I found the letter, I became confused."

"I guess we could understand," Trini said.

"Yea well I don't," Connor declared which caused everyone to look at him.

"What do you mean Connor?" Ethan said, "It's fairly simple, Hayley had started to like Kimberly so when she found the letter, she became confused and angry."

"That's not what I meant," he said.

"Well what did you mean?" Krista asked.

"Hayley just proved something, something that all of you are guilty of doing," he said.

"And what's that?" Kat asked with her arms crossed. Connor turned to look at her. He stared at her for a few seconds before he cast his gaze around the entire room at the others. "Hayley and all of you blamed Kimberly for what happened with Dr O, when in fact it wasn't even her fault. See the thing is, every single one of you is to blame, more so than Kim is."

"How do you figure that?" Kat asked.

"Simple, when Kim got the letters, she tried to find out what was going on," he paused, "And what did all of you do? Nothing, you did nothing except believe them. You believed that she was capable of doing that when you knew without a doubt what kind of person she was. She never accepted them until you proved her that she should. And the one person that should've asked questions didn't. Instead he allowed her replacement to replace her in every single way."

The room was so quiet you could hear a pin drop. No one knew what to make of it, because they were all trying to absorb the impact of Connor's words, all that is except Kat who got angry, "How dare you imply something like that? We were hurt—

"So was Kim, but she still tried to understand," Connor cut her off.

"So what now all of a sudden we're to blame?" Kat asked incredulously, "Who—

"He's right Kat," Billy cut her off.

"What?"

"It's just like Zack had said," Jason said, "We let Kimberly down when we believed those letters, when we never tried to find out what happened. We are all to blame for it, not just Kimberly alone."

"We all blamed her because I think it was easier than blaming ourselves," Tanya said with a sigh.

"I'm just glad we got the chance to make it right," Rocky said which caused the other rangers to nod their heads in agreement.

"I have a question," Angela said.

"What is it?" Aiesha asked.

"Do you have a problem with Kat Connor? I mean, ever since you got here, you've been kind of rude, and from what I understand you were rude to her when you first met her as well," she asked. Everyone became quiet waiting on his answer. Connor didn't even hesitate with his answer, "Simple, I just don't like her."

"Why though?" Tanya asked with a frown, "Kat says she's never met you, yet you act like you've met her before, have you?"

Kat looked on with fear in her eyes. 'I know that he knows what happened between me and Kimberly, but if he tells, then I'm going to lose my friends and I can't have that.' Guys, it's not important. He had already apologized for being rude and I accepted it."

"But didn't you hear him?" Tanya asked, "He said he didn't even like you. And I want to know why."

Trini and Aiesha hid their smiles, wondering how this was going to play out. Kira looked at Connor, then at Kat, Trini and Aiesha then finally back at Connor. She was starting to put the pieces together, but she hope that what she thought wasn't what had actually happened. When Connor caught her eye, she gave him a tiny shake of the head, as if to tell him to lie. He nodded, just barely, but just enough so that she caught it.

"Look I guess it's because I knew Kim before I knew any of you, save for Dr O; so when she told me the entiretruth about what happened," he said, putting emphasis on entirely which had Kat widen her eyes, and Aiesha and Trini smiling, "I guess I became protective, which naturally caused me to dislike the one that I thought was to blame."

"But why Kat," Rocky asked, "And why not one of us?"

But it wasn't Connor that answered, it was Kira, "Well think about it, Kim gave up her powers and her spot on the team to Kat, so I'd guess that she would feel as if she was replaced, so it makes sense that Connor would latch on to an instant dislike of Kat because she replaced Kim on the team. I mean, think about how you guys felt when you were replaced." Connor looked at Kira with gratitude and admiration which caused her to blush. The interaction had not gone unnoticed by Trini or Aiesha, or even Krista who leaned over and whispered something to Trent with a small laugh.

"I remember when I gave my powers to Justin," Rocky said, "I felt like I was going to be forgotten, sometimes ashamed that I let myself get hurt. I felt that you guys would think that I let you down."

"We can all relate to the way that Kim was feeling," Zack said.

"I wonder what they're talking about," Angie said.

With Kim and Tommy

"What do you mean Tommy?" Kim asked.

"Exactly that Kim," he answered back, "What happens between us now?"

"Well I'd like to think we're friends," she paused, "Tommy, I didn't tell you this so that you could break up with Kat, I mean I'm not even sure how you still feel about me."

"Then why did you tell me this Kim?" he asked. He had no idea why, but he wanted to know. And he wouldn't admit, but he felt hurt and/or disappoint flash through him when she said that.

"I told you because you deserved the truth," she said, "And because…"

"Because what?" he prompted.

"I miss you," she said with a small smile, "I miss my best friend." The words were reminiscent of ones said so long ago on a sunny afternoon. So keeping with the memory, he grabbed her hand,

"I miss my best friend too," he said, "I miss having you around Kim, I miss having someone that knows exactly what I'm thinking, that knows exactly what to say when I need to hear it."

"You have Hayley," she teased, "And Jason."

"But not you," he smiled, "Not yet."

"Well what makes you think that you'll get me back?" she asked, knowing that her words now had a double meaning behind them.

"It's only a matter of time Beautiful," Tommy said, "Besides, you already said you missed me."

"True," Kim said, her heart soaring at the use of her nickname. No matter what happened between them, it warmed her heart to know that he still considers her his beautiful. But another thought came to mind and she asked it, "Did you ever call Kat 'Beautiful'?

"No, that name is yours and yours alone; no matter what happens," he said, "You'll always be my beautiful, just like I'll always be your handsome."

"Really?" she asked.

"Yep, now tell me," He said, "Do I have my best friend back?" she wiped the smile off her face, and turned her back on him. She allowed the smile back on her face as she heard his voice behind her, "Kim? Kimberly?"

"Of course you do," she laughed, "Like I said, I miss my best friend too."

Realizing that she had tricked him again, he laughed, "You love to do that, don't you?"

"Of course," she shrugged, "It never gets old." She looked up at him and saw him with a shy look on his face, "What is it?"

"Do you think we should celebrate with a hug?"

She smiled, "We deserve it, don't you think?" he gave a small laugh and opened his arms and embraced her as she stepped into him. As his arms closed around her, Kim gave a small sigh and buried her head closer in his chest. 'Perfect fit' they both thought. "If I wasn't afraid of hitting your head on the ceiling fan, I'd lift you high and spin you around," he said, "On second thought, who cares about your head?" He moved to lift her when she laughed out, "TOMMY, DON'T YOU DARE!!" she made to move out of his arms and run when he grabbed her from behind, "OH come on Kim," he smiled, "Live a little."

She laughed as she tried to run, "that's what I'm trying to do." He mocked frown, and started tickling her, which cause her to erupt into peals of laughter. The others rushed into the room and saw Tommy holding Kim from behind, both laughing.

"What the hell's going on here?" Kat shrieked, as she felt her heart pound in her chest. 'What the hell is going? Why are they so close? She couldn't have told Tommy could she? Is he planning on breaking up with me?'

"Jeez Kat, could you shriek any louder," Rocky asked as he was the one standing next to her.

Kim rolled her eyes, "Don't blow a gasket Kat, we were just fooling around."

"So I take it you guys talked," Trent said.

"Yes, we did," Tommy said, "And we're cool about everything, and the best thing is…

"What?" Trini asked with a smile, as she nudged Aiesha.

"I got my best friend back," Tommy smiled.

"But I thought I was your best friend?" Jason asked with a pout. The others laughed at the look on his face.

"Well tough, I'm back, so you can leave and take your pout with you," Kim said.

"No, I was his best friend, and you just can't come in here and change that," Jason stomped his foot in mock frustration. By now everyone was holding on to their stomachs trying to keep from laughing too hard. Kim shook her head slowly as she walked to stand in front of him, "Jason Lee Scott, you stop throwing that tantrum before I put you in a time out." At that, not even Jason could keep up with the pretense. He completely lost it, "Oh my God, do you know who you sounded like?"

"My mom," Kim answered with a smile. At the confused looks of the others Billy clarified, "When we were younger, Kimberly used to throw a lot of tantrums when her mom didn't want her to do something, so her mom used to say the same thing."

"So what are we doing now?" Ethan asked. Even as he did, Kim let out a yawn, which in turn caused a reaction as everyone yawned after she did, "How about we go to bed?"

"Then we can hang out in the backyard tomorrow and make more plans," Aiesha suggested.

"Sounds good," they all said together. As they all headed up stairs, Kim went around checking everything. She was in the kitchen when Kat walked in. "Oh hey Kat, I thought you went to bed already?"

Kat ignored her, "Don't think I don't know what you're doing."

"What are you talking about?" Kim asked, "What exactly am I doing?"

"You know what," Kat said while pointing her finger at her, "You're trying to come between Tommy and me, but I won't let that happen."

"You know Kat, I think all that England air has gotten to your head," Kim said, "I am doing nothing. Tommy and I talked and we're friends."

"Whatever," Kat waved away her words, "You can't have him you gave him up already so stay away from him."

"I gave him up?" Kim asked, now getting pissed, "You stole him from me, you self-righteous bitch, just like you went after Jean-Luc. What, the Kitty-Kat can't get a guy on her own so she has to come after mine?"

"That's what you're saying now, but the truth is that you can't see is that both Tommy and Jean-Luc left you for me," Kat said spitefully.

"Oh please Kat, you lied, schemed, and manipulated Tommy to get him," Kim said, "And with Jean-Luc, well I guess you just wanted leftovers."

"Leftovers? Please, they realized that I'm better, so they came to me," Kat said.

"Wow, you really are living in a fantasy world, aren't you?"

"Whatever, the point is, they needed something that you weren't giving them and they came to me."

"And what was it that they got from you?" Kim asked, "Some sort of disease? God I hope Tommy didn't catch anything from you, I want him clean when I get him back."

"Get him back?"

"Did I stutter or something?" Kim raised an eyebrow, "I know you heard me."

"Tommy and I are together Kimberly, he's with me, not you, and you're not getting him back," Kat said indignantly. The truth was that she was scared. She wasn't blind; she saw how relaxed Tommy was around Kim earlier. It was as if he didn't have a girlfriend. She knew that he still had some type of feelings for Kimberly, and the truth was he was only staying with her because he had some sense of duty and he didn't want to hurt her. Kim looked at Kat, really looked at her, trying to figure out what she was thinking. When she looked into her eyes, she gasped, and then she started laughing. "What the hell do you find funny?" Kat asked incredulously.

"You," Kim said still laughing.

"What about me?"

"I don't believe it. Through all your words, it's so obvious," Kim said more to herself than anything.

"What the bloody hell are you talking about?"

"I'm talking about your insecurity," Kim smiled.

"Please, I'm not insecure," Kat scoffed, "Why would I be insecure of you?"

"Not of me, but what I have or had with Tommy," Kim said still smiling, "You insecure because you know that Tommy still has feelings for me and you're scared of it."

Kat hesitated, she knew it was hopeless, but she still tried to deny it, "Th-th-that's not true. I am very secure in my relationship with Tommy; you're just jealous and sad that you can't have him back." Kim scoffed. Kat smiled as she took in the petite brunette, "Face it Kim, Tommy's with me and it kills you. You see, I'm the one that's going up to his room--

"Let's face it Kat," Kim said cutting her off, anger evident in her voice, "The only reason you're still with Tommy, the only reason you even have any friends, you lying, manipulative bitch, is because for some reason, I kept my mouth shut. So don't you dare throw your relationship in my face when we both know exactly how that relationship came to be." Kat stood there, shock evident on her face, and could do nothing but watch as Kimberly walked out of the kitchen, as she reached the doorway, she turned and said over her shoulder, "You know something?"

"What?"

"You keep saying that you're the one that Tommy's with; well that might be true," Kim paused and then turned to look her directly in her eyes, "But I'm the one that he wants."

"You wish," Kat scoffed.

"I don't wish for things that I know are impossible," Kim said, "You say that it kills me to know that he's with you, but the truth is, it kills you to know that I'm the one he's in love with, the one that's in his heart."

"Now you're the one living in a delusional world," Kat hissed, "I mean really Kimberly, you and Tommy are over, and we're together now. I'm the one that's in his arms."

Kim looked at her, "Tell me something; how does it feel to know that you'll always be second place in his life and in his heart?" Kat opened her mouth to answer, but Kim cut her off, "I'm not done. You keep saying that you're with Tommy, but you seem to forget how you got him."

"What do you mean?"

"Oh don't play dumb Kat, even though it looks good on you," Kim said spitefully, "Stop throwing that you're with Tommy in my face. You know how you got Tommy; at least I didn't lie or manipulate him to get a date."

"Tell me something Kimberly; if Tommy loved you as much as you say he did, then why didn't he come after you?" Kat asked smugly. Kim couldn't answer, because the truth was, she didn't know. She hadn't had time to ask Tommy why he didn't come after her, but now she wondered.

"It's because I was the one he wanted all along," Kat said, "You keep saying you want Tommy back, well there is one way; you can tell him the entire truth. But you won't do that will you Kimberly? You wouldn't want to mess up this reunion." Kim remained silent as she thought about what Kat said, but then something made its way to her mind, as she realized it, she smiled. "What could you possibly be smiling about?"

"You're right. Tommy didn't come after me, and I haven't told what happened yet because I want to keep the peace. And I won't lie and say that it didn't hurt that Tommy never came after me," she paused, "But you know what? Tommy fell in love with me the day we met; he still does to this day, and do you know how I know that?"

"Oh do pray tell," Kat remarked.

"If he didn't have any feelings for me," she smiled, "Then why was he so jealous when he saw me with Connor?"

"It proves nothing."

"Oh but I think it does," Kim smiled even wider, "It proves that Tommy still loves me if he's jealous about Connor, don't bother try to deny it Kat. Tommy and I are connected, you saw it today and it scares you." Kim didn't let her say anything and turned to walk away. When she got to the door, she said, "You want something else to think about to prove that I'm right? Then think about this, when Tommy looks at you or even hold you, are you sure that it's you that he's seeing or is he seeing and wishing that it was me?" after that Kim turned and walked away. She didn't even bother looking back to see the look on Kat's face. If he had, she would have seen anger marring with fear. 'What am I going to do? She's right. The only reason Tommy's with me is because he does have a sense of duty. I saw the way he was when Connor hugged Kim. He was jealous. And I also saw how they were when they were sparring. I know for sure the others don't know what happened; probably only Trini and Aiesha, since she tells them everything. And Connor does because he's been living with her and he all but said it. Besides, when he looks at me, it really isn't me he's seeing, it's her. It's always about Kimberly, but you know what? I can't lose my friends, and I won't lose Tommy. No matter what I have to do, Kimberly is not getting Tommy back, he's mine.' Kat shook her head from her thoughts and headed up to the room. It was late and she was really tired.

…

The next morning, Kim was the first one up followed by Connor. She was used to being up early, so she went to the basement to work out for a while before heading back to the kitchen. Connor came in when she got the frying pan and coffee pot going. She hated the stuff, but Jason and the others drank it, so she was starting it for them.

"Hey sleepy head," she called.

"Hey," he replied, "Did something happen last night?"

"Why do you ask?"

"Because I was on my to my room, when I saw Kat come up the stairs. She looked like she was thinking about something."

"We kind of got into it last night," Kim said as she cracked some eggs and whipped them. Connor paused in setting the toaster up, "What about?"

"Tommy," was all that she said.

"What happened?" he asked. As she was flipping the pancakes in the other pan, she told him everything that happened. By the time she was done, so was the pancakes, and Connor was just standing there. He stayed quiet for a few minutes before he smiled, "Man I wish I could've seen it."

She laughed, "Me too, now tell me what's bothering you."

He looked at her, "Who said anything is bothering me?" She raised an eyebrow in his direction.

He laughed, "Ok fine, something happened between me and Kira last night."

"Spill," Kim said.

"Well I saw her talking with Trent, but then afterwards she got up, and I followed her…

Flashback

Connor looked over and saw Kira and Trent talking. He couldn't see Kira's face because her back was to him, but he could see Trent's. He had no idea what they are talking about, but judging from Trent's expressions, it seemed pretty serious. He saw Trent glance up at him, and say something to Kira. About five minutes later, Kira got up and headed into the hallway to go to her room. Connor waited a few minutes, before getting up and following her. He got to the room she was sharing with Angie and knocked on the door.

"Come in," She called. Kira looked up from her book to see Connor open the door, "Hey what's up?"

"Can I talk to you?" he asked.

"Sure," she said as she put her book down. She looked at him and realized that he seemed nervous. 'Kinda like how he did at the lake.' She mused.

"Are you ok?" he asked, "You seem a little off."

"Oh," she said as she pushed a lick of hair behind her ear, "Trent and I talked and we decided it was better to be friends."

"Really," he asked surprised and pleased.

"Yea," she said, "Apparently he liked someone else as well.

"Someone else?" Connor asked, "Who?"

"Krista," she answered with a smile.

"Krista?" Connor said shocked, "Wow, I did not see that coming."

"I know huh," she laughed silently, "Apparently they ran into each other a while back, and had lunch together. They hit it off pretty well, but Trent and I were still together and he didn't want to hurt me, so they did nothing about it. He said they weren't sure if it was real or just an instant physical attraction, and they didn't want to ruin their friendship with each other or me, so they did nothing."

"Well how did you feel when he told you?" he asked gently.

"I was only shocked because of who he said he liked, but when I thought about it, they do seem to click," she paused, "I can see them being together. I think they would work out way better than he and I did, besides I told him I felt the same way; that there was someone else I liked."

"What did he say about that?" Connor asked his heart pounding.

"He wasn't surprised actually," she said, "He told me that he had suspected it, but wasn't really sure until recently." Connor became quiet. Kim had always told him if he ever got the chance, then he should take it. This was the second time that an opportunity had presented itself, and he was going to take it. He opened his mouth but closed it after a few seconds.

"Connor, are you ok?" Kira asked concerned. It looked like he was trying to get up the courage to tell her something.

"I'm fine, I just need to talk to you," he said. He ran his hands through his hair and took a deep breath before he started talking again, "Do you remember what we were talking about that day at the lake?"

"Yea," Kira answered, a little unsure of where he was going.

"You remember that you had asked who it was that I told you that I had fallen in love with."

"Yes, but Connor what does that have to do with anything?" she asked, "What are you trying to tell me?"

"I guess what I'm trying to say is…" he trailed off as he looked into her eyes. 'She's so beautiful.'

"Is what Connor?" she prompted. She looked into his eyes and saw the truth, so she asked before he could say, "Was I the one that you were talking about?"

Connor hesitated as he thought about denying the claim. But he took another look in her eyes, which seemed to be begging him to tell what she wanted to hear. He sighed, and looked away. Kira reached up and gently grabbed his chin and turned his face back to her, "Tell me Connor, was I the one that you were talking about?"

He reached up and brushed his hand across her cheek, and said, "Yes." Kira felt her heart swell when she heard that word, "Do you really mean that?"

"Yes I do," he smiled shakily, "I love you Kira Elizabeth Ford, I always have and I always will."

With a squeal, which was totally uncharacteristic of her, she threw her arms around his neck and kissed him full on the lips. When Kira's lips touched his, Connor felt like he was dreaming. It was everything he imagined and more. Her lips were soft and pliant, and they fitted against his like a match made in heaven. Kira pulled away and looked into his eyes, she smiled, "I love you too Connor Jayden McKnight." She grabbed the back of his head and pulled him into another kiss when he smiled at her. It was a battle of tongues for about five or ten minutes, when she pulled away again. Kira looked at Connor and saw that the love that was in his eyes. 'I can't believe it. He loves me. I can't believe I finally have a chance with him.' But even as she thought that, another one came to mind, 'Kim.' She pulled out of his arms and stood up. She paced around the room, silently thankful that Angie was still out on the balcony with the others, and thought about what just happened. 'Ugh, I am so stupid. Why did I kiss him? We can't be together; I won't hurt Kimberly like that. I like her, I really like her, but I love Connor and I finally have a chance with him. Why oh why is this happening now.' She was broken out of her thoughts by Connor, "Kira, are ok? Is something wrong?"

"Yes, no, I don't know," she said frustrated, "Connor we can't do this."

"Why can't we?" he asked as he stood up beside her, "You love me and I love you; so what's the problem?"

"The problem is Kimberly," she said.

"Kim? What does she have to do with this?" he asked puzzled.

"Well, how do you think she would feel if she about us?"

"She wouldn't mind," he said.

"How are you so sure?"

"Because she knows how I feel about you," he said taking her hands in his.

"Kim knows that you love me?" she asked with a frown.

"Of course," he shrugged, "I had to tell somebody, and Ethan already knew."

"Wait what? Ethan knew?" She said.

"Yea, how do you think I kept from going crazy when I saw you with Trent?" he laughed.

"No wonder he made all those remarks," Kira said in silent wonder, before she shook her head and spoke, "So, Kim knows and she's ok with us being together?"

"Well actually, she doesn't know yet," he said, "Remember, you, me and Trent are the only ones that know you guys broke up. I came straight here to talk. But she knew that there was still a chance that you and I would get together." Kira pulled her arms away and sat on the bed. Connor followed her and sat next to her, "Kira, babe, talk to me."

"Connor, I want to be with you, but I can't do that to Kimberly."

"Do what to Kimberly?" he frowned, "Kira you're not making sense."

"Look, I know that you said that Kim knows, but I don't think she'd actually want us together."

"Why wouldn't she?" he asked, "I told her that I was going to tell you how I felt and she was ok with it."

"I really am sorry Connor," Kira said regretfully, "But Kim's my friend and I don't want to see her get hurt."

"How would us being together hurt her?"

"It would ok," she said, "I'm a girl, and if the guy I cared about was in love with someone, I would be hurt too."

"But…"

"No buts Connor," she said, "Please just accept it and let it go."

"But Kira…" he trailed off as he watched her open the door.

"Connor, leave it alone please. Don't make this harder than it is."

He got up and walked to the door, he stopped in front of her, "I don't understand what you're talking about, but I will, and I'm not giving up on you or us. We finally have our chance and I'm not going to let go." When he finished he bent his head and kissed her, then he quietly walked out the door. On his way to his room, he saw Kat come up the stairs with a troubled expression. He dismissed her from his mind and opened his door. He looked back and saw Kira still standing at her door looking at him, he mouthed an 'I love you' to her and watched as she smiled softly before closing the door. He sighed and shook his head as he closed his.

End flashback

"Do you know what she meant" Kim asked as she flipped the eggs.

He sighed and ran his free hand through his hair, "No I don't have a clue, but I'm going to find out."

"Good for you," Kim smiled, "At least one of us will be happy and will get some."

He burst out laughing, "Are you kidding me? Did you just say that?"

"Oh come on," she smiled, "Like you weren't thinking it."

"That is neither here nor there," he said.

"Whatever," she said playfully, "You and I both know it's true. Now stop talking and help me with breakfast." He laughed and moved to cook the bacon while she finished the eggs. He stopped as he walked to the den, grabbed the radio and came back out. He plugged it in and caught a station. As the songs started up, Kim and Connor sang along while finishing up breakfast for everyone. Everyone else had already woken up and took care of business and was on their way downstairs. "Hey do you guys smell that?" Trent asked.

"Smells like…" Ethan started only to be cut off by Rocky, "FOOD!!"

"And it sounds like singing?" Kira asked puzzled. They all made their way to the kitchen together and came upon Kim and Connor, dancing and singing as they made their way around the kitchen. As she turned off the stove, she turned and saw them standing there, "Oh hey guys, good morning, want breakfast?"

"Did you even have to ask?" Rocky said as he pulled up a chair. The others followed soon after.

"Well there's egg, bacon, toast, coffee," Connor started before he made a face, "And tea for the weirdoes."

"Hey," Kim, Kira and Angela shouted, "We'll have you know that we are not weirdoes." The others laughed at the look on the girls faces. All three admitted that they didn't like the smell of coffee very much. They had just sat down to eat when the phone rang.

"Hello?" Kim said.

"Hello my darling," Caroline said.

"Mom," Kim exclaimed, "How are you? Is everything ok?"

"I have a question for you," Caroline said.

"OK"

"Did you think I wouldn't find out?"

"Find what out?" Kim questioned.

"About the bed in the upstairs guest room that you and Connor broke," Caroline told her daughter. Kim gasped as she tried to answer. "Mom I'm so sorry. I swear we didn't mean to." Everyone had turned their attention to Kim, wondering what she was talking about.

"You didn't mean to? Well you did, and you're going to pay me back for it."

"Aww mom, come on," Kim cried, "It was just a bed."

"One of my favorite beds from a guest bedroom," Caroline said, "And you're still paying for it, so don't even try to talk your way out of it."

"But mom…"Kim said.

"No buts Kimberly," she said. Kim frowned as she listened to her mother. 'It's all Connor's fault. He was the one that insisted on trying it on that bed because it was so soft and comfortable. I knew we should have taken it out. And then mom never…wait, how does she know that the bed was broken in the first place? We never told her, and you couldn't tell just by sitting or looking.' "Hey mom," she interrupted her rant, "By the way, how did you know it was broken?"

"Uhm, well you see," Caroline stuttered out, "Pierre came home and we wanted to relax, and he had mentioned that he had seen you guys, so…"

"NO, you didn't," Kim giggled, when her mother didn't answer she laughed, "You did, didn't you?"

"I have no idea what you are talking about," Caroline said.

"Oh don't you?" Kim smirked, even though her mom couldn't see it, "I wonder what papa would say if I ask him?"

"Nothing of the sort and you are not to ask him anything," Caroline said. Kim laughed as she heard the smile in her mother's voice, "Why not?"

"Because I'm your mother and I said so," Caroline said, "Besides Connor helped you break it, let him help you pay it. Bye darling."

"Bye mom," she said then hung up. She turned back and found everyone watching her with smiles on their faces.

"So what did mom say?" Connor asked to the shock of the others. Kira ducked her head when she heard that. It just confirmed her thoughts. Tommy felt his heart constrict as he heard Connor refer to Kim's mother as 'mom'. To the shock of the others, Kim turned and smacked him on the arms.

"It's your entire fault," she said.

"What is?"

"Mom just told me that she's making me pay for the bed in the upstairs bedroom."

Connor's eyes widen, "You mean…"

"Yes Connor," Kim said, "She found out that we broke the bed." The reaction was instantaneous. Everybody spit out or choke on whatever it was that they were eating or drinking.

"WHAT!!"

"Kim, did you just say that you and Connor broke a bed?" Trini asked.

"Yes," Kim said.

"I still can't believe we broke it," Connor muttered.

"Well what did you expect?" Kim asked, "With all the bouncing and moving around."

"And the jumping," Connor said, "Man I thought you here going to hurt yourself."

"I'm a gymnast Connor," Kim said, "I know how high my body can go pretty high."

"I forgot you were used to stunts," he said as he nodded his head, and then frowned as he thought of something, "Wait, how did they find out about that?"

"Would you believe that they were doing they same thing?" Kim laughed.

"What?" Connor asked as he burst out laughing.

"Yea, according to mom, papa saw us," she said still laughing, "So I guess they were stressed and he suggested that they do it to relax, and they did."

"On the same bed?" Connor asked.

"Yep," Kim smiled while the others had looks of shock, disgust and disbelief on their faces.

"Man, no wonder it broke," he shook his head.

"I know." The others, now thoroughly disgusted, were quiet as they listened. They couldn't believe it. Trini and Aiesha were in shock. Kim had never given any indication that there was something going on between her and Connor. Kira was hurting on the inside; Tommy was seething with hurt and jealousy while Kat was smiling. Once again it was Rocky that said something, "What the bloody hell are you guys talking about?"

"Oh, when Connor and I went to visit my parents, we decided it would be a good idea to start jumping on the bed," Kim frowned as she noticed the sighs of relief that echoed throughout the group, "What did you guys think we were talking about?"

"So…you're not dating?" Ethan asked. This time it was Kim and Connor's turn to choke on their food.

"WHAT!!" they exclaimed. Kim looked at them, and asked "Oh my God, you thought we were talking about having sex?" at the same time Connor asked, "You think that we're dating?"

"Well…it's just that you guys look really close," Tanya said.

"Yea," Kim said, "Almost like brother and sister. I think of Connor the same way that I do Jason and Rocky; my brothers."

"And I think of Kim like a sister," Connor said then shuddered, "I can't believe they thought we were dating."

"I know," Kim said, "That is so wrong." Connor nodded. He shook his head and laughed silently while the others apologized. He frowned as he thought about something. He looked around, and then looked sharply at Kira as he thought back to their conversation last night…

"…The problem is Kimberly…"

"…I want to be with you but I can't do that to Kimberly…"

"…I'm a girl, if the guy I cared about loved someone else, I'd be hurt…"

'It couldn't be, could it? Was that why she didn't want anything to with me? Because she thought Kim and I were dating?' Connor shook his head from his thoughts and said, "hey Kira can I talk to you?" Kira wasn't stupid. She knew that Connor had just figured out what she was talking about last night. Truth be told, she was very glad and relieved that Connor and Kim weren't dating, but that didn't dismiss the fact that there was some sort of bong between them. She realized that she hadn't answer Connor and he was looking at her expectantly, "Sure Connor." They got up from the table and headed into the front room. Trent and Krista smiled at each other as he put his arms around her shoulders; Kim nudged Trini and Aiesha; and Ethan leaned over and whispered 'I told you so' in Angie's ear.

"I still can't believe you guys thought Connor and I were dating," Kim said, then shuddered for good measure.

"We're sorry, but can you blame us?" Jason said, "How close you two looked and how you were acting…"

"You and Connor seem to have this bond between you too," Zack said.

"Well, I didn't think that they were dating," Angie said. The others turned to look at her.

"You didn't?" Hayley asked.

"Nah, I never thought that Connor, as much as he liked girls, would date Kim," Angie said, "No offense, it's just I never saw Connor as the older woman type, besides when I looked at it, it looked more like a very close blood bond."

"How so?' Kim asked.

"Well I actually thought that you and Connor looked more like brother and sister than anything," she said, "because you guys act the same way that my older brother and sister does."

"Thank you," Kim said, "Wait what did you say your name was?"

"It's Angela," Angie said.

"Two Angelas?" Kim said, looking between both Angelas, "Do you have another name?"

"My middle name is Caitlin."

"Ok, well do you mind if I call you Cait?" Kim asked, "That way I won't get confused about which Angela I'm calling."

"That's fine," Caitlin said.

"Cool," Kim said, "Well we should finish eat and then head out to the backyard." She got nods from everyone as they gathered up their dishes and placed them in the dishwater. Kim turned it on, and followed everyone out to the backyard. They passed Kira and Connor talking and told them where they were going.

…

"Kira, I'm going to ask you something and you need to be honest with me, ok?

"OK"

"Did you say what you did last night because you thought Kim and I were dating?"

"Yes," she said, "I thought that you guys had hooked up and you didn't know how to tell me or something."

"And now that you know the truth?" he prompted.

She smiled, and raised a hand to his cheek, "Now there's nothing stopping us from being together."

"You mean that?" he asked, and she nodded, "I want to be with you Connor, if you'll still have me." The words were barley out of her mouth before he captured her lips in a sweet and passionate kiss. They were both breathless when they need for air became too much, "Does that answer your question?" he laughed.

"God, I love you Connor."

"I love you too."

"Ok, so now it's my turn to ask you something and you have to be honest," she said.

"OK"

Kira took a deep breath to calm herself before she said anything. When she thought she was ready, she asked, "How do you know Kat?"

Connor sighed as wondered what to do. He didn't know if he should tell her everything or not, but she did deserve an answer. But at the same time, he didn't want to betray Kimberly either. Coming to a decision, he grabbed her hands in his and looked around. Satisfied that no one would hear him, he said, "Ok, you have to promise you won't say anything to anyone, and that you'll talk to Kim as well."

"I promise," She said, "What is it?"

"Kim had a boyfriend named Jean-Luc and he was cheating on her with Kat."

Kira gasped, "Are you sure?"

"I was the one that caught them," he said, "I told Kim about it, and she confronted him, then her." Kira looked into his eyes and saw that there was something else he was hiding, "There's more isn't there?"

"Yes, but I can't tell you."

"Does it have to do with letters?" she asked. Connor let out a gasp as she said that, "Why…why would you ask that?"

"Well your reaction just confirmed it," she smiled, "But I've been listening a lot since I got here and a lot of things that I heard and was told seems to point that way. So am I right?"

"Come on," he said as he pulled her out the back.

"Where are we going?"

"To talk to Kim."

…

Kim was standing at the sliding doors watching her friends play in the backyard. She let out a laugh as she saw Adam and Zack trip up Rocky. The guys were all playing football while the girls lounged around. Trini and Aiesha saw her and walked over to her.

"Hey girly," Aiesha said, "Why are you just standing there?"

"Just taking everything in," Kim said. Trini was about to say something when she spotted Kira and Connor making their way towards them. Kim turned and smiled as she saw that they were holding hands.

"We have a problem," Connor said when they got close enough. All three lost their smiles ay his words.

"Connor!!" Kira hissed, then turned to them, "It's not a problem, I just asked him a question and he decided should talk to you."

"Well what's the question?" Kim asked. Before Kira could say anything however, Connor spoke, "She knows."

"Knows what?" Trini asked.

"I know about Kat," Kira said.

"What do you know and how do you know?" Aiesha asked.

"Well, it's a lot of little things that tipped me off; the biggest was the way Connor acted around her. But then I noticed the way you too (referring to Trini and Aiesha) were acting around her as well, and I saw the look of fear in her eyes when Connor started talking about secrets coming out."

"Who are you talking about?" Kim asked, though she had a pretty good idea.

"Kat," Kira said, "Anyway, I figured for her to be worried, then it would have to be something huge. And the only major thing that had happened in the group was the letters."

"You're right," Kim said, "Kat was the one that was behind the letters. I assume Connor told you about Jean-Luc?" Kira nodded. "Well that's how I found out. I went to her place to talk and I found a box filled with letters and pictures. I also found a high school journal, in which Kat admitted to everything. I confronted her, and she didn't deny it. She actually admitted it. I was so angry that I left."

"Do the others know?"

"No they don't," Kim said, "And you can't tell them, at least not yet."

"Why not? They deserve to know," Kira said, "Don't you want another chance with Dr O?"

"I do, but not like that."

"What do you mean?"

"Well think about it," Aiesha said, "If Kim tells Tommy now, then she'd only be telling him to get back at Kat and him away from her; she'd be doing it for a selfish reason."

"Ok, I get it," Kira said, "So what do we do?"

"Don't know yet, but Kat's not pulling any punches," Kim said.

"What do you mean?" Kira asked. As they stood there, Kim told them what happened between her and Kat last night. When she was done, Trini and Aiesha high-fived each other and Kira smiled, "Glad you told her off." They all laughed then turned back to watch their friends. Kim frowned as Kat looked up at her and smiled. Her frown became a scowl as she watched Kat walk over to Tommy and wrap her arms around him. Hands clenched at her side, she said, "You know? I'm done."

"With what?" Connor asked.

"I'm done doing things to please people," Kim answered, "I haven't said anything about Kat because I want to keep everyone happy. But it's time I made myself happy. Tommy loves me and I love him. We belong together and everyone knows it, including Kat."

"We know," Aiesha said, "That's why she clings to him."

"I want Kat to pay for what she did," Kim said, "But first I want to prove something to her."

"What's that Kimberly?" Trini asked.

"That I'm the one Tommy wants."

"How are you going to do that?" Kira asked. Kim said nothing for awhile. She just stood there looking out at her friends. She allowed her gaze to sweep all of them before coming to rest on Tommy and Kat. The other four watched as a slow smile built on Kim's face. "What do you have in mind girl?" Trini asked,

"How do you guys feel about going dancing?" Kim said. Trini and Aiesha smiled as they caught on to her train of thought, "I think dancing sounds good Kim."

"Tell the others," she said then turned to walk off, "I'm going to get ready."

"For what?" Connor asked.

"I'm going shopping," she called over her shoulder. Trini and Aiesha laughed to each other and went to tell the others the news. Kira followed Kim up to her room, while Connor followed the others.

"What exactly are you going to do Kim?" she asked as she sat down on the bed. Kim was currently going through her closet looking for clothes.

"I'm not going to anything but go dancing," she said.

"But how is that going to help you?" Kira asked with a frown.

"Because, dating or not," she said, "Tommy can't stand to see me with another guy; he gets jealous."

"Ohhh, I get it now." Kim laughed then pulled out a yellow, one-shoulder top and held it up to Kira. "I think this would look perfect on you. Do you have any jeans?"

"Not with me," Kira said.

"That's ok," Kim said with a wave, "That's what shopping is for. Alright, I suggest you go take a shower before the boys come upstairs. I'm going to take one myself."

"Alright," Kira said. Within an hour, everyone was showered and ready to go to the mall. They spent the entire day shopping, much to the guy's dismay, and only came back early because they had to go out. Kim wasn't ready yet, so she told the others to go without her. As expected, Tri and Sha stayed behind with her. Kira did as well because she needed Kim's help with something, and Connor didn't want to leave Kira behind. Trent and Ethan teased him about it, as well as the rest of the guys. He brushed them off and handed over his keys to Trent and told them they would meet them at the club. About fifteen minutes after the others left, the three girls made their way downstairs. Connor's mouth fell open in shock. "You guys look beautiful," he managed after he got over shock.

"Why thank you," Kim said, "Well let's go." They gathered their stuff and headed out the door. The car ride was full of laughter and singing as they made their way to the club.

...

"Wow, this place is amazing," Krista said.

"I know," Angie remarked.

"Man, I can't believe Connor ditched us to come with the girls," Ethan said.

"Well Kira's his girlfriend now," Hayley said, "he probably wanted some more time with her."

"What I can't understand is why Tri and Sha both stayed back with Kim?" Kat asked.

"Oh Kat you should know by now that those three a like thee peas in a pod," Rocky laughed.

"Yes they are," Tanya said, "besides, I would have stayed back to, but I wanted to check out this place."

"And…" Adam said, knowing that there was another reason she had come with.

"And because Tri and Sha told me to look after those two," she said pointing to Rocky and Jason, who cried out, "Hey." The others laughed at the two of them. As they sat there, one of Tanya's favorite songs came on. She got up and pulled on Kat's hand, "Come dance with me." The two made their way to the floor and danced, half-way through, a guy asked Kat to dance. She hesitated for a moment, and looked towards the table to look at Tommy. Seeing him talking, she nodded and danced with him. As he spun her around, her eyes caught the table and saw Tommy looking up at the dance floor with a frown. She smiled and continued dancing. Back at the table the others were laughing and drinking waiting on the others to get there. Tommy looked up and saw Kat dancing with a guy. 'She looks like she's having fun. Wait, why doesn't it bother me that she's dancing with some guy?' he frowned, 'Aren't guys supposed to get jealous when they see their girlfriends dancing with other guys?' he was taken out of his thoughts by the arrival of Connor and the girls.

"What took you guys so long?" Ethan asked.

"We weren't that long," Kira said, "We left like fifteen minutes after you guys did." Ethan and Trent's eyes widen as they saw Kira, "Whoa, Kira you look great." Kira looked down at her outfit; the yellow one-shoulder top that she got from Kimberly, with long, form fitting blue jeans that Kim picked out for her at the mall, and a pair of yellow pumas. Her hair was straightened out and pulled back in half.

"Thanks," Kira said, "Kim helped me actually."

"Well what about us?" Trini and Aiesha asked as they stepped up to the table. This time it was Jason and Rocky's turn to open their eyes wide. Trini had her naturally straight here in curls, which she let hung around her shoulders. She was wearing a red strapless dress, with yellow stars, hearts and flowers decorating it, and red heels. Her make-up was light and she had a jacket thrown over her arms. Aiesha was wearing a jean- skirt that flared out about mid-thigh, a yellow spaghetti strap shirt, and the matching jacket to the skirt. Her braids were pulled back into a half a bun and she was wearing, like Kira, yellow pumas. "So what do you guys think?"

"Did Kim dress you guys too?" Adam asked.

"Yep," Trini said, "So what do you think?"

"I think I should've stayed home and let Kimberly dress me as well," Angela said. The others laughed at her comment.

"Where is Kimberly anyway?" Zack asked.

"Right here," Kim said as she came up to them, "I had to go get my purse from the car." Tommy's mouth dropped open at the sight of Kimberly. She was wearing form fitting jeans that hung low on her hips. The jeans had a pink design of a pond and you could faintly see a frog lounging on one of the lily pads, she was wearing a small silver belt that glittered whenever she moved. As his eyes traveled up, he saw that she was wearing a pink halter top, and her hair, like Kira and Aiesha, were pulled back into a half ponytail, except hers were in curls. Over the top, she was wearing the matching jean jacket. On her feet was a pink pair of ECKOs. No one but Trini and Aiesha knew that the clothes that they were wearing, was actually designed by Kimberly herself. "Well all of you look very beautiful," Billy said.

"So where are Kat and Tanya?" Kira asked.

"They're on the dance floor," Adam said, "Wait here they come now." As Tanya and Kat approached the table they saw the others, "Hey you guys made it and you look fabulous," Tanya said, "Did Kim dress you?" they laughed at the look on Kim's face.

"Yes she did," Aiesha said, "And I see she dressed you too." Tanya was wearing a yellow top with animal print.

"Yes she did," Tanya smiled, "I raided her closet while she was in the shower." The all laughed at that and even harder at the look on Kim's face. "I so have to get better friends," she muttered.

"Well you can't because you're stuck with us," Tanya said as she stuck her tongue out, "So there."

"Real mature T," Kim smiled.

"I know," Tanya replied. They pulled up another table so that they could all fit. They ate, laughed, talked, and drank; just relaxing with each other and having fun. They were sitting there, when Kim heard a song come one, "Oh I love this song. Come on guys."

"Not I," Kat said, "Me and Tanya just had a go around."

Kim realized that the others were too tired to move, so she left them and went to the dance floor. When she left, the others heard the song start, it was 'When I grow up' by the Pussycat Dolls. The others looked on as Kimberly started dancing. "I didn't know she could move like that," Rocky said.

"Kim's always been a dancer," Jason said, "She and Zack used to dance a lot together, as they were the only two with enough energy to keep up with each other."

"And with gymnastics, she had to have some dancing in between," Billy said. The others watched on and saw a guy go up to Kimberly. They saw as he tapped her on the shoulder and asked her to dance. Kim laughed and nodded.

Intro x2
Boys call you sexy (What's up, sexy)
And you don't care what they say

Now I've got a confession
When I was young I wanted attention
And I promised myself that I'd do anything
Anything at all for them to notice me

You know what it's like to be nameless
Want them to know what your name is

When I grow up
I wanna be famous
I wanna be a star
I wanna be in movies

Fresh and clean
Number one chick when I step out on the scene

Oh I'm a trendsetter
Yes this is true 'cause what I do, no one can do it better
You can talk about me
'Cause I'm a hot topic
I see you watching me, watching me, and I know you want it

The other looked as the song went into a prolonged beat. They saw Kim start moving very similar to the way the PCD girls did in the video. Tommy watched as they guy put his hands on Kim and felt jealousy rise up in him. He clenched his fists under the table and had to refrain himself from getting up and storming over there. Trini turned to say something to Tanya, when she saw Tommy's eyes flash green. She looked to where he was watching and saw Kim dancing with the guy still. 'Oh my, this is interesting.' Trini wasn't the only that noticed Tommy's reaction, Jason saw it as well. 'I knew it. He didn't even bat an eye when Kat was dancing, now he looks ready to tip that guy a new one.' Leaning so that no one could understand what he was saying, Jason whispered to Tommy, "Bro you better chill out before someone sees that magic show you're putting on with your eyes."

Tommy shook himself and turned his head to Jason, "What?"

"Your eyes were flashing bro," Jason murmured, then thought, 'If I had any doubt about how you feel about Kim, they're totally gone now.' Trini nudged Aiesha, who was sitting right next to her, and being very subtle, she shifted her eyes to Tommy and then to Kim. Aiesha followed Trini's eye movement and was shocked and secretly pleased to see the raw jealousy in Tommy's eyes. She watched as Jason leaned over to say something to him, and saw his eyes bank over. Deciding to step in before Tommy did something he'd regret; Aiesha stood up and said, "I am not letting my girl dance this song alone."

"She's not alone," Kat pointed out with a smile, but lost it quickly when she looked at Tommy. 'I can't believe it. He looks like a jealous boyfriend. She was right, that just proves that he still has feelings for her. What am I going to do? NO, don't think like that. He's with me, he chose me, not her. And I'm not giving him up, not after everything I did to get him.'

"Same here," Trini said, "Let's go." Her statement was echoed by agreements from the rest of the girls except to Kat and Hayley. The girls stood up, and made their way to the dance floor.

Chorus

Hook x2

Chorus

Hook x2

Kim and the girls danced until the end of the song, and continued dancing as Pon De Replay came on. The girls danced until the song was over. The dj came on and announced that they would start Karaoke soon. Trini got an idea, and when the girls were heading back to the table, she whispered it to Aiesha. Kim said she had to use the bathroom, and Kira offered to go with her. Getting a look from Trini, Aiesha said she was going with them. Trini gave Sha a smile and made her way, discreetly, over to the dj booth. She whispered her instructions to him, and smiled when he nodded. She then made her way to the table to wait on Aiesha, Kim and Kira.

In the bathroom

"Girl you were amazing," Aiesha said.

"Thanks," Kim said breathlessly, "I totally love that song."

"I could tell," Kira laughed.

"Well, I have some juicy news for you guys," Aiesha said, "It's about Tommy."

"What?" Kim asked.

"Well it turns out that your performance with that cutie that you were dancing with caused our former leader to go green," Aiesha said with barely concealed delight.

"Don't you mean it cause him to see green?" Kira asked.

"No, see Tommy first became a ranger as the evil green ranger," Kim said softly so no one would overhear, "When he was evil his eyes would flash green. After we broke the spell and saved him, he joined our side, and his evil side was gone."

"But there was some after effects," Aiesha said, "Whenever Tommy got really angry or jealous, which he usually did when it came to some guy messing with or hitting on Kimberly, then his eyes would flash green."

"So when Dr O's eyes flashed green," Kira said now understanding what they were saying, "It meant that he was extremely jealous."

"Exactly," Aiesha said, "Which proved Kim's point to Kat; which is that Tommy still loves her." The girls all laughed. They fixed their hair and re-touched their make-up, when Kira asked, "So how are you going to get back at Kat?"

"I've already started," Kim said with a smile.

"You have?"

"Yes, see the thing is, just telling the secret won't be any fun," Kim said, "I have to make her sweat, and to do that I have to make her see the truth."

"Which is…?"

"That Tommy loves me and always will," Kim said, "And you know what? I won't even have to lift a finger. Tommy and Kat are going to prove it to themselves. Then either I'm going to tell, or I'm going to make Kat paranoid enough to spill the beans all on her own."

"Well however you decide to do it," Kira said, "You have my help."

"Good," Aiesha said, "Now let's go back out, they're having karaoke and I want to hear some of those people sing." Kim and Kira laughed as they made their way out of the restroom. The others looked up as the trio came back to the table laughing.

"You know," Rocky said, "I'll never understand why women go to the bathroom together and come out laughing."

"Don't worry Rocky," Billy said, "That's a mystery we'll never uncover." They all had a laugh at that. They sat and listened to people go up and sing; some were good, others were funny, and the rest had them covering their ears.

"Ok, now time for our random hour," the dj said, "This is where we'll choose one random person from the crowd and have them sing the very next song that comes up." Trini looked at Kim and smiled. It was random hour, but the choosing and the song wouldn't be random. She watched as they dj made a pretense of looking around the room, before coming to stop at their table, "Ok, how 'bout that pretty little lady sitting there in that pink top." Kat pointed to herself, and moved to stand up, "Not you, the brunette; the one that's sitting next to the Asian guy in black." Kim pointed to herself, "Me?" she asked.

"Yes you," he said. Kim got up and looked at the others who were encouraging her, "Do it Kim."

"Yea, it could be fun."

"Ok, I'll do it," she said. They cheered as she said that. Kim made her way to the stage and took the mike. She looked out at the crowd, then down at her friends. They were all laughing and cheering her on. She turned her attention back to the dj, "Ok your song is 'Girlfriend' by Avril Lavigne."

"Ok." Kim took a deep breath and waited for the words, when they did she started;

(Chorus)

Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend

Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
No, it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend

(Verse 1)

You're so fine
I want you mine
You're so delicious
I think about ya all the time
You're so addictive
Don't you know what I could do to make you feel alright?
Don't pretend I think you know I'm damn precious
And Hell Yeah
I'm the motherfucking princess
I can tell you like me too and you know I'm right

(Bridge)
She's like so whatever
And you could do so much better
I think we should get together now
And that's what everyone's talking about!

Chorus:
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I don't like your girlfriend!
That's Right! No way! No way!
I think you need a new one
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I could be your girlfriend

Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
You know it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend

Verse 2
I can see the way, I see the way you look at me
And even when you look away I know you think of me
I know you talk about me all the time again and again
So come over here, tell me what I want to hear
Better yet make your girlfriend disappear
I don't want to hear you say her name ever again
(And again and again and again!)

Bridge

Chorus

Hey! Hey! You! You!
I know that you like me
No way! No way!
You know it's not a secret
Hey! Hey! You! You!
I want to be your girlfriend

In a second you'll be wrapped around my finger
Cause I can, cause I can do it better
There's no other
So when's it gonna sink in?
She's so stupid
what the hell were you thinking?!
(Repeat)

(Chorus)

The entire club erupted into cheers. But at one table the lyrics hit a little too closely to home. Even though they were all standing and cheering for her, they couldn't help but feel a bit apprehensive at the coincidence of the song, and what was happening. All but four of them were thinking the same thing, 'What a weird coincidence.' Trini, Aiesha and Kira exchanged smiles and thought, 'Perfect.' Connor was laughing to himself at the looks on everyone's face, especially Kat's. He cheered even louder for his little sister, "Whoo, way to go Kim."

In Paris

"Honey you have to tell them," Pierre said to his wife in French.

"I can't," Caroline told her husband, "How can I tell Kimberly that I cheated on her father?"

"It wasn't like that," Pierre said, "And you know it. Ken was cheating on you; he was abusing you emotionally, and you guys were on a trial separation."

"But that doesn't make it right," she said.

"You had just found out he was cheating on you, and you met someone that was going through the same thing. He made you feel special. Trust me, Kimberly will understand."

"I just don't know what to do," she cried.

"Tell them, they deserve to know," he pleaded.

"How do I do that?" She asked, "Pierre, how do I tell Kimberly she has twin younger brothers? How do I tell her that Connor is one of her brothers?"

A/N: Another cliff hanger. Now who saw that coming? Honestly, I never thought that I would go that way with it, but I started typing and it came out so I left it. Next chapter will be a flashback chapter. It will be about Kim's mom and Connor's dad. I'm almost to the point of bringing Kat's secret out. I can't wait for it, so as always R&R.
