Chapter 46
"Billy, this place is amazing!" Hayley said as they walked in Ernie's. She had grabbed his hand before they walked in.
"I know. It has changed a little since high school. We came here everyday after school." He said as they grabbed an empty table.
"Billy?" A man said from behind them. Hayley looked up as Billy stood up to hug the man.
"Ernie, it's great to see you again and this is Hayley she went to school with Tommy." Billy said as he pointed to Hayley.
"It's nice to meet you dear." Ernie said as he extended his hand to her.
"As it is you, this is a great place. I have one like this in Reefside." She said as she shook his hand.
"Reefside, huh? You know I heard that there were Power Rangers there." Ernie said as he slid a glance at Billy. He had guessed that their group had been the rangers. He would never ask them about it though. He would let them tell him in their own time if ever.
"Yea I've seen them in action a few times. I try to stay out of their way. You know that Tommy lives in Reefside now." She said with a smile.
Billy just watched as she charmed Ernie.
"I had heard that and also that Kim was back on the West Coast." He said with a smile. He always thought that Kim and Tommy would get back together because they couldn't have so many friends in common and not see each other. He had hoped that once they saw each other again that they would realize what they had was something special.
"Yea she is." Billy said to him. He knew that Kim needed to get over to see Ernie.
"Well, she needs to come and see me in fact you all need to come back more than you do. I have missed you guys too much." He said as he took their orders and walked off.
"I like him but I get the feeling that he knows about your past." She said as she leaned forward.
"Yea, I got that feeling as well. I think that we need to tell him. He will keep our secret." Billy said as Bulk and Skull walked in.
They were full police now. It always shocked Billy everything he saw them in uniform.
"Billy!" They said as they walked over to them.
"Bulk, Skull, it has been way too long. How is it in uniform now?" He asked as they dragged up some chairs.
"It's great and who is this?" Bulk asked as he looked from Billy to Hayley.
"This is Hayley. She lives in Reefside and knows Tommy." He said as they each shook her hand.
"I have heard so much about you two. It's great to finally meet you." She said with a smile.
"I hope that it's all good." Bulk said as Ernie yelled that their order was ready.
"All good, I assure you." She said as they left the table.
"I'm sorry about that." He said. He knew that bringing her here might be a problem with seeing his old friends.
"No, I like meeting you friends from high school and seeing where you came after high school. It makes me feel like apart of you past a little." She said with a smile.
He took her hand and squeezed it.
"I'm glad that I brought you here then." He said. She smiled and squeezed his hand back.

"Rocky slow down, remember that I have short legs." Kim said as he let go of her arm.
He had dragged her into the living room so that he could talk to her without anyone listening in.
"Sorry, I just want to show you something before everyone gets in here." He said as he pulled a ring box out of his pocket.
"Rocky! Is that what I think it is?" She asked as he opened it. The ring caught the light.
"What do you think?" He asked as she grabbed the ring.
"It's beautiful. I have one question for you though." She said as she looked the ring over. She had taken it out of the box and saw that stone was a flawless yellow diamond. She knew that it was perfect for Aisha.
"Go for it." He said as he watched her face light up with joy.
"Do you see Aisha wearing this ring for the next 50 years?" She asked as she put it back in the box and handed it back to him.
"Yea I do as soon as I saw this ring in the case I saw her face. I have had this ring for three months now." He said when she looked up at him.
"Wow three months, I'm impressed, but if you see her face then you have my blessings." She said as she hugged him.
He smiled and wrapped his arms around her.
"Should I call you out for touching my girlfriend?" Tommy asked from behind him.
Rocky jumped like a foot in the air. He let go of Kim so fast that she stumbled into Tommy's arms.
"No uh she hugged me first." He said as Kim started laughing and hit Tommy in the shoulder.
"Well she is a hugger and I can't control that." He said with a laugh. He looked down at Kim and smiled.
"Okay guys you've had your fun." She said as Rocky winked at her. She shook her head and walked over to sit next to Trini and Aisha.
They watched the guys for a few minutes until they started talking about Billy and Hayley out on a date. Tanya, Kat, and Kira came to sit in front of them.
"Kat, you told me that you were seeing someone, who is it?" Kim asked in a whisper.
The guys were now playing Tommy's Xbox.
"Well now that he's back in town, I would like for everyone to meet him." She said as she looked back to the guys. They were screaming at each other.
"Are you sure you want those animals to meet this man? I think that only the girls need to go." Trini said with a laugh.
The girls all sat there talking until they saw headlights in the window. They knew that Billy and Hayley were back.

"Are you ready to face them?" Billy asked with a smile. He knew that the girls with ask her question after question.
"Yea but first." She said as she leaned over and kissed him. She had wanted to do that all night. She pulled back and looked him in the eye. She saw the look in his eyes and smiled.
"Let's go and face them together." Billy said as he got out and rounded the car to open her door. He held out his hand for her to take it. They walked into the house holding hands.
"Billy, Hayley, its great to see you got back." Kim said as she greeted them at the door. The guys were still playing the game.
The girls and Billy went into the kitchen so that they could talk.
XXXX
"Boys, time to put the game up." Kim said from the doorway.
The Dinos, Hayley, and Kat had all left hours earlier. The girls had gone to bed with Tanya and Aisha sharing a bed. Kim had tossed and turned until she couldn't stand anymore.
"Shut it off." Tommy said when he saw the look in her eyes. He knew that she was at the breaking point.
"Okay I think that I'll go to bed." Adam said as he stretched out. He knew that Tanya was in the room with Aisha. He wasn't going in there now. He won't wake his wife.
"Yea, I'll see you in the morning." Tommy said as he walked over to Kim.
She stepped back into the room as he followed her.
"Tommy, it's alright." She said as she slipped back under the sheets. She watched him undress and climb in beside him.
"Kim, I know it is and I love you." He said as he gathered her close.
They fell asleep in each other's arms minutes later.

The computers in Tommy's basement started going haywire. Zordon walked over to them and saw that there was activity on the moon now. He knew that Zedd and Rita had waited long enough for their attack. He continued to monitor the situation all night. He would inform the rangers in the morning about this.
They needed their sleep because this was to be the final battle against Zedd and Rita. He would also contact the Astro-Mega ship to inform the Space Rangers to stand guard. He knew that they might need them.

"Mistress, the monster is finished." Finster said from behind her.
"Good prepare the army. We attack tomorrow." She said as she went in search of her husband. She would inform him of the plans. She was looking forward to the upcoming battle. It would be the last against those rangers.
