As Tommy is about to call her his mother steps into the room.
"Hey sweetheart I just wanted to talk to you about a few things."
"Okay mom; I am listening." Tommy scouts over on his bed.
"I am glad your grades have improved."
"Oh so my B average wasn't good." Tommy teases his mom.
"No that is not it at all; I just like the fact that you have been studying more and having a tutor helps." Mrs. Oliver pats her son on the arm.
"Yea well Kim is training and Kat really doesn't know anyone here, so we kind of paired up."
"So you are doing Kat a favor since she has little to no friends."
"Aw mom I am helping a friend not be bored and getting better grades in the process."
"Is that all?" She looks up at her son.
"That is all there is mom really I love Kim."
"So does Kim mind you spending so much time with Kat?"
"She thinks that I am a wonderful guy for helping a friend." "No biggie."
"Oh well I get the feeling that if she were here she would have a problem with it."
"Why you say that mom?" Tommy raises his eyebrows.
"Kat is smitten with you."
"What!" Tommy knew Kat had liked him but that was due to that stupid spell.
"A mother knows son."
"How can you tell?"
"The way she looks at you, she calls here every day, and she is over here a lot."
"Well we do study together and hang out together when the others are busy but that is it."
"Okay what about the way she looks at you?"
"She is just really nice." That is all I hope it is.
"I have seen the way she looks at you and at the others." "With you she is more attentive and caring, so to speak."
"Aw mom she is just adjusting to a new country and culture." Again I hope that is it.
"I just want you to be careful I like Kim and I don't want to see her get hurt due to some confusion." Mrs. Oliver stands up. "Take heed son; now I have to go finish up making dinner."
Tommy nods. "Thanks for the chat mom."
"Anytime son." She leaves his room.
Tommy is thinking about what his mother said when the phone rings. He reaches for it hoping that it is Kim. "Hello?"
"Hey Tommy it's me Kat."
"Oh hey Kat; what's up?"
"Nothing just wanted to see what you were doing later."
"Nothing; just going to watch tv why?"
"Oh well I was wanting to go see that new Superman movie and wanted to know if you wanted to join me or if you would rather wait to go with the guys I understand."
"Oh no Kat I would not mind just let me eat dinner first then I will pick you up at nine."
"Okay thanks; I guess I will eat dinner first too."
"You don't need to thank me we are friends."
"I know but you don't have too."
"Yeah but I want to so that's that." "Got to go see you soon."
"Bye Tommy."
"Bye; see you at nine."
Kat hangs up the phone with a smile on her face.
Kim who was trying to call Tommy at the same time decided to view who was tying up the line and heard the whole conversation. So the little twit thinks she can steal my man while I am away huh. When the people are away the cats will play; oh I have something for her alright. Kim laughs evilly and teleports to Kat's room.
Kat is busy trying to decide what to wear. Maybe the blue top with the pink pants, no the pink dress with the orange sandals. She throws the clothes on her bed.
"Kat are you going somewhere?"
Kat jumps. "Oh mother you scared me; I did not see you come in."
"I was calling your name."
"Oh sorry mom I guess I was caught up in a fashion decision."
"What for… are you going out with Tommy again?"
"Yes we are going to a move."
Uh you asked my boyfriend; he did not ask you so stop sounding like he did.
"Oh that's nice dear; what show and at what time?"
"Superman and at nine." Kat holds the dress up to her body and looks in the mirror.
"You are really putting a lot of thought into your outfit."
"Well I want to look nice mom."
"I figured but isn't he dating someone else."
"Yea but she is away and he needs someone to hang out with besides if they break up or something he will consider me next."
That little conniving bitch.
"Well I want you to be careful; I don't know Kim but I am getting to know Tommy and he seems smitten by her." Kat's mother touches hair.
"Only because she uh once he sees me as girlfriend material I am sure he will be smitten with me." "She just met him first is all." Kat begins messing with her hair.
"Still they are together and besides Billy seems like a nice young man."
"Oh you just like him because he is a genius."
"And single honey; he is available." "Look at Tanya for example she likes a single boy and now they are a couple."
"I know mom but I really like Tommy and I know that you and dad approve of him."
"That is not the case sweetheart; I just don't want you to be hurt."
"Tommy would never hurt me." Kat decides to wear her hair in a ponytail.
"You are not thinking clearly he is with Kim and from the way he talks about her I don't see them breaking up any time soon."
"Oh they almost did thanks to me." Kat thinks back to the car ride that she set Tommy up for.
"How did you do that honey?"
Kat looks confused for a moment. "Oh nothing I uh I uh she got the wrong impression one day and they almost broke up." "He was helping me fix a minor problem with my car."
"What car?" "You don't have a car,"
"Oh it dad's car he let me drive it."
"Oh okay well did you tell him about the problem."
"I sure did but Tommy fixed it so when dad had it brought to the mechanic it was fine."
"Alright dear; just think about what I said and dinner is ready."
Whew that was a close one; no way I could tell her that the car was Rita's. "Okay mom."
Oh so that's the way you want to play it dirty.
Kat mother walks out her room.
Tonight is going to be fun; I have the perfect outfit and hairstyle. Kat goes down for dinner.
Kim decides to play dirty as well.
At the Oliver's residence Tommy calls Kim.
Kim looks at her phone; she had it set up to where she could receive the phone calls that went to her dorm room. "Hello?"
"Hey Beautiful it's me."
"Oh do I know an it's me?" Kim teases.
"Ouch that hurts pinkie."
"Oh Tommy it's you; why didn't you just say so."
"I did or at least I thought I did; you seem to have forgotten my voice." "That hurts."
"Well things have been a little weird for me lately." Kim sits on her bed.
"Oh and how so my pet?"
"You wouldn't believe me if I told you."
"Try me." Tommy lies down on his bed.
"I am an evil princess."
"Ha-ha and Lord Zedd and Rita are your parents."
"No but there are other evil Kings and Queens Tommy."
"So have we battled your parents before?" Tommy decides to play along.
"Nope and if we had I am afraid we would have lost."
"Oh and why is that Kimmy?"
"You would have to meet my dad to see for yourself." Kim noticed that Tommy thought she was jesting but she knew she would have the last laugh.
"Oh I don't doubt you honey." "So what's new?"
"I told you already."
"Okay so you want to play that game." "Do you live in a castle?"
"The biggest castle I have ever seen."
"Wow can I come and visit?"
"You are along with everyone else."
"Oh well than I cannot wait."
"So Tommy what are you doing tonight?"
"Just eating dinner and going to a movie with Kat."
"Oh you seem to be spending a lot of time with her."
How did Kim know that; who told her. "She is new and has only us for friends."
"Uh huh but she has Tanya besides what if I wanted to visit and go to the movies?"
"Okay I will cancel anything for my princess."
Oh she might cancel; Kim thinks laughing.
"What's so funny?"
"Oh nothing just thinking about a prank war going on in my dorm."
"Ah I love those remember when we got Rocky to eat those Oreos and we had replaced the cream with toothpaste."
"Duh it was my idea." Wow I should have known I was evil then.
"I know and that my dear is why you are a real prank genius."
"What about the other kind of genius."
"What you mean clothes, fashion, makeup, plants, and gymnastics?"
"No silly the book kind; don't I have brains."
"Yes you are my best study partner with you I got all A's.
"I am not with you and yet you are back to making all A's; how is that?"
How does she know that? "Oh I have been studying with Kat; again she needs friends."
"And again Tommy she has Tanya plus the rest of the rangers."
"Yea but Tanya has Rocky and when they want to be alone; she comes to me since I am the leader and well I was evil once."
"I am evil; have been all my life besides what will happen when I get back and she wants your attention?"
"Oh you will have my undivided attention sweetheart but you are not evil; you were made evil quite a few times but you are not evil.
I was made evil quite a few times but then again they didn't have to try so hard since I already am evil. "Whatever you say Tommy." "Could you handle me being evil and you possibly being evil again for good?"
I will humor her some more. "Of course Princess Kim I would be evil for you any day." "I love you and I hate to cut this short but I have to go down and eat dinner."
"Then call me back after you eat."
"I think you would want me to hang out with our lonely friend then if it's not too late give you a call." "Huh am I right."
"Hell no she had better find her another guy to crush on."
"Kim really she is not crushing on me and if she was I am all yours; always will be."
"Damn straight and it won't be too late so call me as soon as you get in."
"Okay Beautiful." When did she get such a foul mouth? "I love you Beautiful."
"I love myself too."
Ha-ha that is so messed up."
"Okay I love you too." "Bye Handsome."
"Bye Kimmy." Wow what has gotten into her.
As soon as Kim gets off the phone with Tommy see makes a portal and waits for Kat's return.
Time to put on my dress; where the hell is my dress? Kat frantically searches. "Mom did you touch my dress," Kat yells.
"No dearie check the bathroom or your room."
Kat runs to the bathroom; it's not here. She went back to her room and began to search for the dress. Oh no it is not here. He will be here any minute damn and I still need to do my hair. Oh well I will wear the pants and top. Where those go damn where are all my sexy clothes. Kat looks at her watch urgh ten minutes left. Forget it I will do my hair and make this outfit work. Where is my hairbrush aw this is not good. Oh here it is Kat brushes her hair but does not see the paint that is streaked through her hair. No time for makeup got to go met Tommy at the door before my mom decides to question him.
Kim smiles as she admires her handy work. Now to really make her think she has lost her mind.
Tommy shows up at nine-ten and blows the horn; normally if it were Kim he would walk to the door but since Kat is not Kim and this is not a date he stayed in the car.
Kat rushes out the door. "Bye mom, dad I am gone."
"Hey Kat." Tommy looks at her hair and outfit as she gets into his jeep.
"Hi Tommy, ready for the movie."
"I sure am." Tommy tries to hold in his laughter.
