It was around five and Kimberly was running around the kitchen. Alex and Xander watch her. "Why is she running around like a crazy person?"
"I don't Xander," Alex answered. They were watching Power Rangers Mighty Jungle. A cat base ranger. It was a cartoon. They turn to watching Power Rangers. "Did you know that there were actually power rangers in Angel Grove?"
"Yeah, but the Red Ranger is the best," said Xander.
"No, the Pink Ranger," Alex said back.
"No," said Xander. "You're only saying that because you love the color pink."
"Hey, well, that's because Power Rangers Mighty Jungle Pink Ranger, Kenzie, makes it cool," said Alex. "It's not like the Red Ranger is better."
"Yeah, right," Xander said, "The red ranger has a name by the way."
"Oh really," said Alex. She crossed her arms.
"Yeah, his name is Logan," said Xander. "His zord is the Tiger."
"Well, Kenzie's zord is the manx," said Alex.
"No," said Xander.
"Yes," Alex said back.
"Mom!" they both yelled in unison.
Kimberly came through the kitchen into the living room. "What is it, Alex and Xander?"
"He doesn't think that the Pink Ranger is cool," said Alex.
"That's because it stinks," said Xander. "Mom, please tell her that the Red ranger is awesome."
Kim was getting a little uncomfortable. "What are you guys talking about?"
"There's a new show that started a month ago," Xander explained. "There are on their twentienth episode."
Kimberly came to check. She was relief that they weren't talking about her and her ranger teammates. "Oh, well-" She heard a knock on the door. "Just a minute." Kim went to go open the door. It was Jason. "Oh, you came. Thanks for coming."
"Yeah, yeah," said Jason. "What is that good smell?"
"Really, you're serious?" Kim asked. Jason nodded. "Thank you. That was my cooking."
"Oh, well," said Jason. He took off his jacket and put it on the couch. Alex and Xander looked at him. "So when you invited me to come here, you never said that you were going to make dinner. Why was that?"
"Oh, well, you should know," said Kim, "Dinner is always around that time."
"Um, mom, who's this guy?" Xander asks.
"Oh, it's your mom's friend, Jason," said Kim. "You know the one that I told you about."
"Oh, hi Uncle Jason," said Alex.
"Hey..." Jason paused.
"It's Alexia but you can call me Alex," said Alex.
"Okay, Alex," said Jason.
"Alexander, call me Xander," said Xander.
"Okay, Alex and Xander," said Jason. "Nice to meet you guys."
After Kimberly set the table, they started to eat. "So, mom, which ranger do you think is better?"
Jason begin to choke on his food. He drink his glass of water and speak, "Excuse me."
"Oh, um, Jase," Kim started. "There's a new show call Power Rangers Mighty Jungle. They are fighting about the Red and Pink Ranger. Who do you think is better?"
Jason looked at them. "Oh, uh, well, every ranger is special. That's why they are on the team right. The Red, Yellow, Blue, Pink, Black, Green, etc. Rangers are part of the for a special reason. One to guide. One to be smart. One to be Optimistic. One to be strong. One to be funny." He looks at Kimberly. "And one to be a friend when you need one. But for real, the red ranger always rocks."
Xander was excited. "Yes, in your face."
Alex cross her arms. "Okay, but what about mom?"
"Yeah, what about your mom?" Jason asked.
Everyone looked at her. "Oh, uh, well, red rocks but pink shines like the sun."
"Yes," Alex said. "Now we are even."
"Wait, what about Katrina and Caroline, they haven't decided," said Xander.
"Oh, I already talk to them," said Alex. "Katrina likes the Yellow Ranger while Caroline likes the Green Ranger."
"Weird," said Xander.
"Uh," Jason whispered to Kimberly's ear. "Why did you name them Alex and Xander?"
"Why? You don't like," said Kimberly.
"Nope," said Jason. "I like Amy and Austin way better."
"Yeah, right," said Kimberly. "Although I do like Amy. Hey, don't worry that's their middle names."
"Really," Jason said. "Alex Amy Hart. And Xander Austin Hart. Not catchy."
"Uh-huh, like you could do better," said Kimberly. Jason started to laugh. Kim smiles as she watches him laugh for first time since ten years ago.
Alex and Xander were whispering to each other. "Uh, what are they even talking about?"
"I don't know," Alex replied. "Hey so you want to watch Power Rangers?"
"Sure," said Xander. They walk to the living room and turned on Power Rangers Might Jungle. It went to commercial for a short second. Then the opening theme started to play. After the theme, the episode was titled 'Scratch to the Cat!'.
Jason and Kimberly could finally talk a bit louder. "Hey, how are you? What are you doing to get money?"
"Oh, I'm actually fine," Jason responded. "I own my own dojo. Me and Rocky was suppose to do it together but then something happen and I don't want to talk about it. So what about you? Still working on gymnastics."
"Oh, actually no," said Kimberly, "I think I'm too old to do it. Besides, Alex is following my steps."
"Oh, really," said Jason.
"Hey, Jason, I just wanted to say that I'm sorry," said Kimberly.
"I know and I forgive you," said Jason.
"So we are clear right," said Kimberly. Jason nodded. "Thank you."
"So what are you doing tomorrow?" Jason asked.
"Oh, well, I actually am looking for jobs," said Kimberly.
"Oh, that's a bummer," said Jason. "Because I wanted to ask you if you wanted to go eat at this new restraurant in town?"
"Wait," Kimberly asked. "Like in a date."
"Sure," Jason agreed. "Around 7."
"I'll be there," said Kimberly. They both smile at each other.
Outside of Kimberly's house, a guy was looking through his telescope. "Yeah, you're happiness won't last that long." He takes his telescope off and laughs. "Jason Lee Scott and Kimberly Ann Hart. You guys are so going to pay for what you guys did to me." He walks off and covers his big scar from his face.
