They rode the bus for several hours. A few hours later, they reached Reefside. Both of them got of the bus and went to Haley's Cyber Space. When they got inside, they met a red headed girl.

"I haven't seen you around here," said Haley. " I'm Haley. Who are you?"

"I'm Tommy Oliver and this is my wife Kimberly," answered Tommy. "We just got married yesterday. Can you tell us where we can find a place to stay. Kimberly and I don't have a place to go right now."

"What happened?" asked Haley.

"If I tell you, please don't judge us," begged Tommy.

"I won't, I promise!" answered Haley.

"Kimberly and I have been best friends since we were born. We grew up together up together. About two years ago, we got engaged," explained Tommy. "She got kidnapped by her father Ed. He tortured her and made her write a letter breaking up with me. Then he sent me a letter telling me he had her and to come to an abandoned house. I ditched school to go to her. Later on he went to the school and switched the letter say he had her with another letter. It was suppose to be from Kim. In the letter I was asked to meet her at the lake. When I went to rescue her, I was taken hostage too."

"Ed made us change our clothes. We had to change our clothes and wear red body suits. The body suits showed our figure and it felt like we had an extra layer of skin. Tommy and I both felt like we were naked," explained Kimberly. "Ed took Tommy's swimming trunks and a pink swimsuit and put them in the lake. He created a scene to make it look like we had drowned in the lake. Our mothers' used to be best friends. But, they know hate each other. My mom blames Tommy for what happened and Tommy's mom blames me for what happened."

"Kimberly and I were held hostage for over a year in a basement," added Tommy. "All we had to live off of was bread and water. We didn't have any other clothes, other than the body suits and a silk robe. When our body suits wore out, we had to keep a robe on. Ed didn't care if we froze or not. We escaped early yesterday morning. We found the clothes that we had on, hanging in the closet in a bedroom. So, we got dressed. And our clothes no longer fit us. We found Ed's wallet laying on a table and he had a lot of money in it. We took it and used the money to buy us some clothes. Both of us had replace all our clothes and shoes, since we both and I ran into my mom at the mall. She has aged and has grey hair. She was very bitter. I am glad she didn't recognize us. My mother ran Kimberly down and told us how much she hated her. We heard a rumor that our mothers hate each other. Since, we were engaged we got married in a wedding chapel. My mother said if she found me, she keep me and Kimberly apart. And she said if we were married, she wouldn't have nothing to do with us."

"Tommy and I learned a lot of people blamed me for what happened. Others blamed Tommy. Last night, Tommy and I decided that we were going to leave Angel Grove. We stay in bed and breakfast place last night. When we got to the mall we had to get hair cuts. My hair was down to my knees and so was Tommy's. He had beard down past his shoulders," stated Kimberly. "When we went shopping we bought these suit cases. And we bought hygiene items and other things we needed. This morning we got on a bus to come here. We ran into my mom on the bus. She had 12 photo albums full of pictures of me and Tommy. She came back to get the pictures. But, she took all of the pictures to wal-mart. She cropped Tommy out of all the pictures. And Tommy's mom cropped me out of all the pictures."

"She was going to throw all of them away," Tommy said sadly. "I lied to her mom and told her that we would throw the pictures away for us. She gave us the albums. Kim's mom was hateful to us and ran me down. She said if she found Kimberly she'd take her to Paris and I'd never see her again. Then she said if she found us and learned we were married, she wouldn't have anything to do with us. We don't mean to impose, but we are needing a place to stay. We're going to enroll in college next month here, we're going to get our GED because we didn't get to finish school, open bank accounts, and buy a car."

"So, all you have is each other?" asked Haley. "It's just the two of you."

"It's just me and Tommy," admitted Kimberly. "He is the only thing I have. And I'm the only thing Tommy has. We are trying to make the best of what we have."

"But it is hard," added Tommy. "We can't let our parents know where we are. I don't want them to spilt us up. I honestly don't know what I'd do with out Kimberly. She's my whole life. Many people would think that we would've aged like our parents, but we didn't. Some may would think we went crazy. Since I had my best friend with me in that basement for over a year, I was content. I was okay with only having to life off of bread and water. And I didn't care that my clothes were wearing out and I was okay with having to do without clothes."

"What was it like being held hostage in a basement for a year?" asked Haley.

"There's no way to describe it," explained Tommy. "We were both felt naked, cold, and afraid."

"I don't hold either one of you responsible," smiled Haley. "I admire you both. I don't know if I could have survived it like you too. There is a hotel near by. The place to get your driver's license renewed is next door, the college is down the road a little bit. And we have a clothing store across the street. They mostly sell athletic clothes. The bank is next to the clothing store. And there is a car lot next to the clothing store. If you have enough money, I'd suggest you'd buy a car."

Tommy and Kimberly went across the street to buy a car. They decided they'd share a car for awhile and Tommy bought a jeep. Both of them put their suit cases in the trunk of the car. Kimberly wanted to go to the athletic store because she decided that was going to get a degree in physical education or fitness training. Tommy decided to get a degree in paleontology and physical education

"Kim, if we're going to get a degree in physical education, we're going to need a lot of athletic clothes," acknowledged Tommy. "In our classes we'll be required to wear that type of clothing."

"I heard that the community college offers physical education classes and swimming classes," answered Kimberly. "I thought we could take swimming as an elective. We'll have to get our basics though. But we can take summer classes too."

"I love the idea," said Tommy." After school I am hoping teach karate at the college to help us pay for college."

"And I was hoping to teach gymnastics to help us pay for college," added Kimberly.

"How long will we be shopping?" asked Tommy.

"Tommy, I know you hate shopping," answered Kimberly. "We won't be shopping too long."

"Actually, there are times when I enjoy it," admitted Tommy.

"Since when?" asked Kimberly. "You used to complain when you had to go shopping with me and Aisha."

"I like shopping at Christmas and birthdays because I like to buy you presents," admitted Tommy. "And I only enjoy shopping if it's only me and you."

"You actually enjoy watching me try on clothes?" gasped Kimberly.

"I do," admitted Tommy. "I like to see how beautiful you look."

Kimberly had a smile on her face. Tommy knew she wanted something.

"I'd like for us to some matching outfits," smiled Kimberly.

"You mean same color, same type of shirt, and same type of material?" asked Tommy.

"Yes," answered Kimberly. "We used to do it when we were little.I want us to do it again."

"What colors are we going to wear?" asked Tommy.

"green, white, or black," answered Kimberly.

"I want to go with black or white," stated Tommy. "How many outfits to do you want me to buy like yours?"

"Six," smiled Kimberly.

"Give me six good reasons," remarked Tommy.

"We're best friends, we love each other more than we do anyone else, we enjoy sharing a birthday, we are each others security blanket," smiled Kimberly. "I only liked being hugged or kissed by you, we don't have to worry about moving away from each other.

"Those are six reasons," admitted Tommy. "What type of outfits do you want us to get?"

"A pair of matching pajamas, two matching sweaters, and two matching swimsuits, and a friendship necklace," replied Kimberly.

"We don't have a friendship necklace," answered Tommy.

"Yes, we do," smiled Kimberly. "I got it made for us yesterday. It is in the shape of a heart and it is says "Tommy and Kimberly are best friends." You will half of it and I'll have other half."

"That explains why I had to wait two hours for you to come out of JC Penny," gasped Tommy.

"It is," smiled Kimberly. "I'll get it out of my suitcase at the hotel."

Kimberly went and got a cart and began they began to pick out their clothes. They got a grey cotton pull over sweater that had the letter O on the front, a black cotton pullover sweater with white and green stripes, a green,white, and black plaid pajama set, Kimberly got a white one piece suit and Tommy got white board shorts, and Kimberly got a black bikini and Tommy got a pair black swimming trunks.

After Tommy got the matching clothes, he went to go get some gym shorts, spandex pants, and tee shirts to wear for gym. Meanwhile Kimberly was getting pink spandex aididas tracksuits. She liked how they looked shiny and how they were made from satin material. In the winter months she wear a pink windbreaker suit, a pink satin tracksuit or a pink velour tracksuit everyday to school. She usaually wore a pale pink tee shirt with her tracksuits. On really cold days, she wore a pink windbreaker suit with a pale pink turtle neck. And she wore a windbreaker suit every time it rained.

After they bought their clothes, Kimberly got out the friendship necklace out of her suit case. Tommy really didn't like jewelry, other than his wedding ring. But, he actually loved the necklace that Kimberly had made for them. As soon as she gave it to him, he quickly put it on.

"Do you like it?" asked Kimberly.

"I love it," answered Tommy. "I'm never going to take this off, ever."

He kissed her on the cheek.

"Seriously, you're never going to take it off for any reason?" asked Kimberly.

"I'm serious about this one. Now every one will know we're best friends," smiled Tommy.

"That's why I married you," stated Kimberly.

"And that's why I married you," added Tommy. "And because I love you and you mean the world to me."

"I feel the same way," answered Kimberly. "What's your favorite thing about being married to me?"

"You're my best friend and I can tell you anything good, bad, or ugly," answered Tommy.

"If you knew something that was going to hurt me, would you tell me?" asked Kimberly.

"I honestly don't know," admitted Tommy. "Would you tell me?"

"I honestly don't know," replied Tommy. "It would depend on what it was."

"What would you do if you had to tell me?" asked Kimberly. "Where would you tell me."

"I'd probably wait until we were alone," answered Tommy. "I'd probably tell you, when we were in bed because we'd be able to hold each other for hours."

The walked back to their jeep and they put their sacks in the trunk. Tommy was able to put off telling Kimberly about Caroline. He didn't know how much longer he could go without telling her. Tommy knew if he told her it would really hurt her terribly. He had a feeling that Kimberly knew Caroline knew it was them. And he even had a feeling that James knew who they were. Tommy decided that he wasn't going to tell Kimberly what he knew until they got settled. Then when he told her, he would wait until a Friday afternoon. If he told her on a Friday, he'd be able to devote two whole days to her and hold her.
