I don't own any rights to anything but this story. Someone very dear to my heart asked if I could include something for her in it and decided to write it and see how many people could or would enjoy something like this.

Chapter two

Aisha made it to Kimberly's apartment a half hour later. When Kimberly answered the door Aisha quickly stepped inside and said "sorry I'm late but the guys called after I got off the phone with you and wanted to hang out. I told them I had an errand I had to do and would meet up with them later. So the ground floor huh?" she asked in reference to Kimberly's apartment location. "I always figured you as a top floor kind of girl."

Kimberly could sense that Aisha was nervous and unsure what to stay. "Aisha it's okay. I moved in on the ground floor so that it would be easier for me. In fact everything is easier from moving in to not having to walk up the steps after a long day."

"That's true I guess." Aisha looked around Kimberly's apartment. "Wow girl you have a lot of blue around here. Blue walls, blue pillows on the purplish couch, and is that a blue green rug? I thought you were a die hard miss pink 'til the end kind of girl. I think if Billy were to walk in here he would never want to leave."

Kimberly looked around. Every time she walked into this room she felt a deep sense of calmness and peace. It felt like she was coming home. "Well you know me I have always loved the water and you can't get more sea or ocean than with these colors. Besides I still like and wear pink just not like when I had a power coin. Sometimes things change when a person gives up their powers" Kimberly said sadly.

At that Aisha looked real closely at her friend. "You are not pregnant or anything are you? Is that why your back? And why you need my help?" she asked bluntly

Laughing Kimberly said "No Aisha I'm not pregnant. That is one of the things I am completely sure of. As to why I need help… well perhaps we should sit down." As both girls sat Kimberly continued "What I can tell you so far is that my experience in Florida changed me. I learned some things about myself that I am not sure I would have known if I hadn't went down there. "

"Oh yea? Like what? You weren't gone very long at all."

"Well for now lets just say that some things have changed for me. It is news that I will share but for now I need to talk to Tommy first. There are things that need to be said and to be explained so he can understand. That is what I need your help with. I need to talk to him alone and away from Katherine. I don't want her there when I explain what I need to explain."

"Kimberly are you back to stay or are you leaving again? "

"Lets just say that I am here for now."

"The reason I am asking is because things are different here. Katherine has settled into the powers that you transferred to her and is starting to come into her own with them. Are you asking for them back or just Tommy? I am all for you two getting back together but I need to know for the sake of the team."

"All I can say is that I have no intention of taking my former powers back. In fact I'm pretty sure they wouldn't take with me at all anymore."

"Well okay than do you have a plan in mind to get Tommy alone or do you want to go with what I have in mind?"

"Well I don't really have a plan. What is your idea?" Kimberly asked

"I think that you should come with me as we are already meeting down by the lake and hang out with the group. Then they would know all at the same time that you are back. When we get ready to head home then just ask Tommy to talk to you. Chances are he will want to even if it is for no other reason than to hear about the letter. I really do think you shouldn't blind side him and let him have the mutual decision to have the conversation that you want to have. I think he will listen better to what you have to say that way."

"Perhaps you're right Aisha. Maybe it is time to let everyone know that I am back." Kimberly thought about how that meeting would go. She was sure that everyone would be shocked but perhaps they wouldn't give her a hard time. Then they would not accidentally find out that she was back and take it as hard as Aisha did.

"Let me just get ready to go and I will join you." Kimberly got up and walked into her room. She decided to leave her hair down. "It sure has grown since all of this started" she thought. Her once shoulder length now went down to the middle of her back. Gone was the straight hair and in its place was long curls. She was kind of relived that Aisha had not mentioned this. She was not sure how she could explain that right now in addition to everything else she would need to explain. In a attempt to hurry up she grabbed her purple and white bikini, put it on, and topped the outfit off with a white tang top and white Capri shirts. Satisfied that she looked pretty good she exited her bedroom. "Okay Aisha I am ready to go" she said as she put on her tan sandals that were waiting for her by the front door.

"Okay Kim let's go" Aisha said as she got up from the couch. "Boy the guys are sure gonna be surprised when they see you."

"Well hopefully it will be a good surprise and not a bad one" Kimberly joked

"Everyone will be happy to see you. Even Tommy will be. He may or may not show it but he will be happy that you are home."

"Yea" Kimberly said sadly. Honestly she would not have changed anything about her time away. She had actually quit gymnastics within the first 4 weeks there. She actually was off doing something else in many different places. She got to experience something almost no one ever gets to and it was and still is a chance of a life time. The one regret she may have is that she wished Tommy could have been there with her. She had thought of him every day and must have thought of a million ways she could have started a letter telling him of her many adventures. Her life now seemed something of a teenage novel and at times she wished that she could skip to the end to see if she could get the love she so desperately wanted back. Noah and Tasha had warned her that her life was gonna be quite different and that she may not be able to keep the relationship with Tommy. They said that he may not understand as many people don't and don't possess the ability to believe in something like that.

The girls got into Aisha's car and drove to the lake. Kimberly was a bundle of nerves. She was nervous about seeing everyone again but she also was nervous about the water. She could not go in there today. Not today. Once they pulled up they first noticed Adam getting a towel out of his car. Adam turned around just in time to see Aisha park her car. He could see that someone was with her but couldn't tell who it was at that moment. So he waited for the two girls to get out of the car so that way he could walk with them to where the guys had set up their stuff. Aisha had got out first. "Hey Adam" she greeted. Smiling she added "I have a surprise you. Well it is for everyone but that includes you" she joked.

"Oh yea?" he said smiling.

"Yep. You will never guess who I saw today. After some convincing I got her to come with me here today." Aisha was excited now. Kimberly belonged with them and she couldn't wait to show her off to the guys. She knew that her and Tommy would get back together after they worked some things out. They were simply meant to be and that was that. Those two just needed to see that again. Also there was something different about Kimberly but Aisha hoped that whatever that was it didn't get in the way of them getting back together. Sensing that Kimberly was stalling in the car Aisha opened up her door and said "come on now missy. Time's a wasting."

Sighing Kimberly knew it was now or never. Deciding to get it over with she stepped out of the car. As soon as Adam saw who it was exiting the car his eyes widened. He all but ran over to her and wrapped her in a big hug. "What took you so long to come back here?" he asked

"I had things to deal with" Kimberly said

"Now that your back don't ever leave again" he said

"Well we'll see" was all she said while still holding him

"Okay guys break it up. We got to get Kimberly over to where everyone else is. I'm sure they are gonna want to see her too." Aisha said

"Okay" Kimberly and Adam said

They started walking down by the lake to where the others were. Aisha walked in front of Kimberly so that the others wouldn't spot her right away. Her best friend was back and she wanted to be the one that surprised everyone. As they approached the others Aisha loudly said "Hey everyone I got a surprise for ya!"

"Cool" they all shouted back

Aisha stepped aside and presented Kimberly to them. "Look who I found" Aisha said proudly. Billy, Rocky, Kat, Jason, and Tommy stood there shocked as they started at the young woman before them. They couldn't believe that she was standing there before them as they all thought that she was in Florida still.

Ooooooo

This is going to be a Kimberly and Tommy story so no matter where this leads it will lead back to them.
