On Thursday Evening, the phone rang at the Oliver house. Tommy answered the phone. It was Principal Randal and she was calling to tell them that they need someone to be outside at the door ready to sell tickets to the home coming event.

"I forgot to arrange it," lied Principal Randall. "They are calling for heavy rain and some storms tomorrow. All of the other teacher will be at the concession stand, helping step things up for the dance, or helping supervise during the swim match. Usually, when I assign these jobs to people, I like to assign them with a friend or someone they can get along with, especially if it is suppose to storm."

"Okay," answered Tommy. "I understand what you are saying. I'd be in your position to if it was going to have a bad storm."

"Yes, Doctor Oliver, I'm glad you agree," said Principal Randall. "I know that you and Kimberly Oliver spend quiet a bit of time together at school. I see you both eating lunch together, you both sit together at pep-rallies, I've noticed that you two ride to school together everyday, you are sitting together at meetings, and you are sitting with her in school assemblies. You must be good friends with her. How long have you known her? You two must have a history together. I'd like to hear it."

"We've known each other since the day we were born. Our parents were friends and we lived next door to each other. When Kim's parents divorced, Kim and her mom moved in with me and my family," responded Tommy. "We moved around a lot so we spent most of our time together because we didn't know anyone else."

"Did you go to the same high school?" questioned Principal Randall. "Did you two date?"

"Yes, we went to Angel Grove High," answered Tommy. "And yes, we dated since we were in the 7th or 8th grade. In 1997, we got married on Christmas Eve."

"Kimberly Oliver is your wife?" gasped Principal Randall.

"Yes, Kimberly and I are married to each other," smiled Tommy.

"I never saw the connection," lied Principal Randall. " I'd like for you and Mrs. Oliver to be at the door ready to sell tickets. I know it is going to rain, so I advise you to wear something to keep you dry, while you're selling tickets."

"That's fine, we'll be glad to do it," stated Tommy.

"Thank you," answered Principal Randal. "After school, you will need to go sit at the door and be ready to sale tickets. They will start going on sell after school. After you finish selling tickets, you need to shower and get ready for the dance. Have a good night."

Tommy hung up the phone and looked Kimberly.

"Beautiful, I'm afraid that we're going to have to sale ticket to home coming match as soon as school lets out tomorrow," warned Tommy. "It is suppose to rain and storm. We're going to get soaked having to set outside tomorrow. It's suppose to be cold tomorrow too. Randall wants us both to wear something that keep us dry."

"I'll just wear a windbreaker set to school tomorrow," replied Kimberly. "I wear one every day in the winter and on days it rains anyway. What are you wearing?"

"I don't have any idea," responded Tommy. "I'll find something, don't worry."

"I've got you taken care of," smiled Kimberly. "When I purchased my clothes before school started, I purchased four black adidas windbreaker sets. Two of them are for me and the other two are for you. We both have one with flannel lining and one without lining. I really enjoyed the year that we wore the same clothes all winter long and I'd like for us to do it again."

"Are you saying that you bought us the exact same black tracksuit that we both wore everyday in first grade?" questioned Tommy. "As much as I hate to ask, I assume that you've purchased purchased us a long sleeve tee shirt, a short sleeve tee shirt, and a turtle neck? And I assume mine are green and yours are pink?"

"They are," smiled Kimberly. "I was lucky enough to find the exact same shades of pink and green. Since it will be cold tomorrow, we'll wear our suits with flannel lining and we'll wear a solid color tee shirt tomorrow. And I've gotten us white tennis shoes to wear with them. I even bought my self a pair of pink rain boots and I bought you a pair of green rain boots."

"Randall told us after we get down selling tickets we are to go take a shower and get ready for the dance," said Tommy. "I'll pack our clothes that we are wearing to the dance and we can store them in your office. And I'll pack shower gel, shampoo, and some towels. We can take our showers in your private bathroom in your office. Until Randall called, I planned on wearing my suit and tie tomorrow that I was going to wear to wear to the dance. I was going hang the jacket and dress vest in my storage closet and put them on after school."

"I was already planning on wearing my tracksuit and changing my clothes before the dance," revealed Kimberly.

"I thought you were going to wear your dress tomorrow, because you teach health tomorrow," stated Tommy.

"I was until I found out that it was going to rain," Kimberly said in a cheerful voice. "When I found out it was going to rain, I decided I was going to wear a windbreaker set. It's going to be my first time wearing one to school this year. I'm actually looking forward to it getting colder so I can wear one every day."

"As much as I hate to ask, why do you still love them so much?" asked Tommy.

"I don't have to iron them, they are water proof and wind proof, when it rains I don't have to wear an ugly rain coat and rain hat, they have zippers at each ankle and I can put them on over footwear, they come in all shades of pink and I can buy one in every shade of pink there is, the fully tapered seams seal out moisture, they have breathable polyester lined with cooling mesh, and the elastic waist band makes it easy to take them on and off," explained Kimberly. "And you do remember what my top reason was for wearing them all the time."

"I think know," Tommy said in an enthused voice.

"I get to hear the swishy sound when I walk and move around," smiled Kimberly. "I lied to our parents and told them that you complained about your jeans and khakis weren't warm enough and you wanted to wear them to buy you track pants and tracksuits to wear all winter long. And I told them that you wanted us to wear the same color pants or the same color suit; and that you wanted us both to wear a tee shirt or a turtle neck white them."

"You're lucky I didn't tell them you were lying," smirked Tommy. "The only reasons why I didn't tell on you was because you were my best friend and I didn't want them to ground you or punish you. If I told on you, you would have been mad at me. And you wouldn't have ate lunch with me, sat by me in class, or played with me at recess, or spend time with me at home. And the biggest reason why I didn't rat you out was because I loved you more than I did anyone else."

"When we were kids, did you love me more than you did your mom and dad?" responded Kimberly.

"Yes, I loved you more than I loved my own parents," admitted Tommy.

"I was the same way," revealed Kimberly. "I loved my parents, but I loved you more. I never told anyone."

She walked over to Tommy and wrapped her arms around him. Tommy always knew that Kimberly never did have much use for Ed (her father). He knew because she often told him that he was never home or when he was home he never paid attention to her. And he was very violent towards Kimberly and Caroline. Tommy remembered in the middle of the night his parents would wake him up and tell him that Kimberly was going to be staying with them. His dad would have Kimberly's school back pack and an overnight bag. He always moved over to make room for her in his bed and she'd get in bed with him. After his parents would leave the room, she would tell him that Caroline and Ed were fighting again and she was scared to go to sleep. Tommy always pulled her close to him and told her that she could sleep because he'd be holding her all night and no one would hurt her. Kimberly always pulled her arms around his neck and they both fell asleep.

Both of them noticed it was almost midnight and they both went upstairs and went to bed. The alarm clock went off at 5:30 the next morning. Kimberly opened the closet and laid out their black athletic suits and a solid green long sleeve tee and a solid pink long sleeve tee. Tommy got out a duffle and packed Kimberly's make up kit, her dress, her ankle strap sandals, her hair dryer, his black suit, his white dress shirt, his pink tie, his pink dress vest, black socks, and his black dress shoes. After they laid out their clothes, both of them striped out of their pajamas and got in the shower. They took a quick shower and started to get dressed. Tommy saw that Kimberly had laid out a pair of solid green socks and a pair of solid pink socks. He remembered when they both wore tracksuit or track pants every day they also wore pink socks and green socks.

"I see you remembered what color socks we wore every day," reminded Tommy. "I never thought that you would go to the trouble of getting us the same type of socks that we wore every day."

"That winter was very important to me," revealed Kimberly. "I had been living with you for a year and that was the time my mom got a job and was gone most days. I thought she couldn't be help being away. Now, I realize she was probably doing illegal things. Tommy, my whole life changed. The only thing that remained the same was that still had you. I wanted to know that you weren't going any where and I wanted to know you were always by my side."

Kimberly started tearing up. It was the first time that she had ever told him what she was getting ready to say to him. She didn't know how he'd take it. Tommy walked over to her and wrapped his arms around her.

"That's why I lied to our parents and told them that you had told me that your jeans and khakis weren't warm enough," sobbed Kimberly. "I didn't have my dad and my mom was gone almost every day and every night. You were with me full time and you were the only person that still had that I loved. That year at Christmas when I was asked what I wanted for Christmas I said I wanted a pink bean bag chair, a pink sleeping bag, a new pink bead spread, a pink coat, and then I said I mostly wanted enough pink tee shirts, pink turtle necks, black track pants, and black tracksuits to last all winter. That's when I lied to our moms and told them that you requested to have black track pants, black tracksuits, green tee shirts, green turtle necks, and green socks to last you all winter."

"Beautiful, I know there was another reason why you lied," Tommy said in a gentle voice. "What was it?"

"I always wanted to know that I still had you and I knew if wore the track pants and tracksuits too, I'd hear the swishy sound when you moved around," confessed Kimberly. "It was comforting because I heard you walking beside me and I heard you walking through the house. Tommy, I knew that I still had my best friend and the person I loved the most."

Tommy pulled her into a kiss and they shared a kiss for a long time. After they kissed, he gently took his hand and wiped her tears away.

"Kimberly, I love you so much," smiled Tommy. "I heard mom ask you if you wanted a doll or stuff animal. You were asked that almost every year and you said no. They asked me that Christmas and I told them I wanted a stuffed green brachiosaurus and stuffed green stegosaurus and you wanted a stuffed pink pterodactyl and a stuffed pink stegosaurus. And I said I wanted a green been bag chair, a green bed spread, a green coat, a video games for our super Nintendo. I told them to pick out my clothes for me. I didn't know what I was in for."

"Are you referring to the stuffed dinosaurs that we have sitting on the shelf that's next to the our dresser?" asked Kimberly.

"They are," revealed Tommy.

"I remember us getting them, but I didn't remember that we got them for Christmas that year," stated Kimberly. "I remember back in 1995, I got you a stuffed white falcon for Christmas. And you got me a stuffed pink crane for Christmas. We both of them sitting on the dresser."

"Hey, Beautiful, do you mind if I wear my khakis? asked Tommy. "I have to do Chemistry today and I don't want the chemicals to burn a whole in my pants or jacket. I'll put my athletic suit on before I come out side. I am still going to wear my green tee shirt and the green socks that you got me all day."

"That's okay," responded Kimberly. "I wasn't expecting you to wear it all day. I just wanted you to wear it, while we are outside."

Tommy opened the closet and got a pair of khakis and put them on. He also got out a tan shirt and a green tie. After he got dressed he slipped on his black jacket and put the black pants in his brief of them finished getting dressed and went down stairs to eat breakfast. As soon as they ate, they got in Tommy's jeep and they drove to school. Both of them walked into school together. Tommy handed Kimberly the duffle bag and he went up stairs to his classroom.

Kimberly went to the gym and walked into her office. She hung her black jacket on her office chair, then she walked into her private bathroom and closed the door behind her. She hooked up an iron and got out a small ironing board. Kimberly got out their clothes (that they were going to wear to the dance and ironed them. After she ironed their clothes, she hung them in small clothes closet that was in her private bathroom. Kimberly put their shoes on shoe rack on the bathroom door. She decided that she was going to leave the curling iron, make up, kit, and undergarments in the duffle bag. She laid the duffle bag on the floor and locked the door to her private bathroom.

The bell rang for school to start and everyone went to their first period class. Meanwhile Randall transformed into Elsa and went to Mesogog's island. Elsa and Mesogog planned on attacking the school dance. They decided that they were going to start attacking during the match and finish during the dance.

"Did you get Doctor Oliver and his wife out of the way?" asked Mesogog.

"Yes, they will be selling ticket outside after school," explained Elsa. "They will be staying outside until the swim match. Both of them will be outside for two hours. The students running for home coming king, queen, prince, or princess have to be there at 5:00. The match starts at 6 tonight and the dance starts at 7:30 tonight. I told Doctor Oliver and his wife that they need to take a shower before they come to the game."

"We'll get them out of the way, after they get cleaned up," suggested Zeltrax. "Both of them will be out of the way until the game is over."

" But, we have to keep Doctor Oliver and Kimberly together. He'll be more willing to do what we want," warned Elsa. "And that way we don't have to worry about one of them running to go get help. I promise you that no one will see Doctor Oliver or Kimberly during the dance, until it is over."

"You better keep you word!" threatened Mesogog.

"We will," promised Zeltrax.

Meanwhile, Haley had not seen Billy for a few days and was worried about him. She called Tommy and Kimberly and they didn't know where he was either. All they knew was that he was transferred back to Angel Grove University and was teaching science there. They assumed nothing was wrong with Billy. So, Haley was going to watch the scanners on monitors by herself.
