By the end of the week, Tommy had a closet full of black clothes. He had black pants, black jeans, black dress shirts, black ties, black tee shirts, black sweaters, a black rain coat, black swimming trunks, black board shorts, black pajama pants, black track pants, black tracksuits, and black pajama sets. Tommy really enjoyed being the assistant coach for the swim team. It gave him more time to spend with Kimberly. He didn't sit around the house for two hours, before she came home from swimming practice. But, he had to grade papers every night. However, Kimberly sat down with him and helped him grade papers.
On the day of the swim match it was pouring down rain and it was suppose to pour down all day. Tommy and Kimberly got up and took a shower. Tommy opened the closet and got out a black tee shirt, jeans, and a tan shirt. Kimberly couldn't decide what she was going to wear, since she had so tracksuits and swimsuits in every shade of pink there was.
"I can't decide if I'm going to wear rose pink, petal pink, pink lily, wild berry pink, strawberry pink, pearl pink, or wood rose pink," complained Kimberly. "This our first match and I know Randall will expect me to look nice."
"Beautiful, you will look beautiful in what ever outfit you wear," reassured Tommy. "But, if I had to pick, I'd choose wood rose pink tracksuit. It isn't to light or too bright."
"Which swimsuit should I wear?" asked Kimberly. "Everyone is going to see me at the swim match. Randall said I could only wear a swimsuit during the match because I am the coach."
"I'd pick strawberry pink," suggested Tommy.
Kimberly opened the closet and got out her wood rose pink water proof/ windproof tracksuit and her strawberry pink one piece swimsuit. She also got out her strawberry pink sleeveless polo shirt. Kimberly put on her swimsuit and polo shirt. Then she put on her tracksuit.
"Tommy what do you think?" asked Kimberly.
"You look so beautiful," smiled Tommy. "Want me to get your rain coat?"
"I'll be fine," reassured Kimberly. "My tracksuit is wind proof and water proof."
"You have to sit with me on the bus," reminded Tommy. "Everyone else got to pick who they wanted to sit with. But the coach and the assistant coach have to sit together. Also Randall will be on the bus with us."
"Don't remind me," remarked Kimberly. "It's bad enough she's riding the bus. And it's even worse that she has to sit in front of us."
"I'll make her leave you alone," promised Tommy. "Randall is making me sit on the bench since its the first match. I've got a bag packed with papers to grade, while the match is going on. And I've packed hygiene items, a hair brush, two emergency blankets, bottled water, and crackers."
"Why do you pack all of those items for?" asked Kimberly.
"Sever storms tonight, remember?" reminded Tommy. "Do you have to wear the jacket all day in the hot gym?"
"No, I got to wear any type of shirt that I wanted to wear," reminded Kimberly. "It will be hanging on the back of my chair all day. I'll be in my sleeveless polo and track pants, until I teach swimming."
That Afternoon During Kimberly's Swimming Classes
Principal Randall turned into Elsa and walked through a portal. She came out at Kimberly's private locker room. Zeltrax was waiting for her with a pair of scissors. They noticed that Kimberly's tracksuit and sleeveless polo was laying on the bench.
"This better than I thought!" gasped Elsa. "If we destroy her polo, she'll have to stay wear her jacket while we're on the hot bus."
Elsa took a pair of scissors and cut on seams of Kimberly's shirt. Her shirt was ripping out on each side and there were holes on the shoulders and on the sides of her shirt. Then Elsa cut on each pant leg on her pants. She also ripped out the seams on each side of the pants. As soon as they were done ripping the seams out of pants and top, Zeltrax and Elsa began to work on her jacket. Zeltrax cut on both sides of Kimberly's jacket. Elsa started to rip the seams out of both side sleeves. Then she ripped the seams out on each shoulder.
"How are we going to be able to fix her clothes to hold up until after the game ?" asked Zeltrax.
"I bought duct tape that is the exact same color of her track suit," smiled Elsa. "We stick duct tape on the places were holes are beginning to show. Then I've got safety pins, what we can use to hold the seams together. I won't safe anything to her until tonight."
Zeltrax heard somebody coming and they left through a portal. It was Tommy and Kimberly. He went with her to get her stuff. Elsa and Zeltrax left her clothes were they found them. Kimberly quickly dried off and put her track pants back, socks and shoes back on. She grabbed her polo shirt and quickly slipped it back on. Finally she put her jacket back on. The bus would be leaving shortly to go to stone canyon. Haley and Ethan were staying behind at Tommy's house to watch the scanners and monitors. Kira and Conner were coming to the match, but they had to drive to Stone Canyon. It was only two hours from Reefside and it was much closer than Angel Grove was.
As soon as school let out all of the students on the team had to get on the bus to go to Stone Canyon because they had to be there at 5:15 and the match started at 5:30 PM. Kira and Conner left to go to Stone Canyon as soon school was over. They both rode in Conner's car and they kept their sliver bracelets so they could contact Ethan. Kimberly and Tommy told all the rangers not to try to contact them during the game or while they were on the bus.
"I still think something is up," stated Kira.
"I'm beginning to wonder that too," confessed Conner. "Ethan thinks the same thing. That's why he decided to stay with Haley."
"Why did he stay with Haley, if he knew something was strange?" questioned Kira.
"Ethan really wanted to come," explained Conner. "However, Haley was going to be in Mrs. O and Doctor O's basement. You know that Ethan is really good with computers and electronics. He wanted to be able to assist Haley is they ran into any problems."
"I can understand that," smiled Kira. "He has been big help to the team when it comes to electronics. And we can't forget to include Haley. She's good with electronics too. Both of them make a great team."
"Kira, the other night I spent the night at Ethan's house because my parents were out of town," informed Conner. "Ethan and I think Elsa, Zeltrax, and Mesogog are after Doctor O and Mrs. Oliver. We think that because everything has been so quiet since Kimberly became the pink ranger."
"Oh, my goodness! You are right!" gasped Kira. "She's never fought in one battle. If they are after Doctor O and Mrs. Oliver, who do you think they would go for first?"
"The other day, when we were talking to Doctor O in Haley's Cyber Space, he told us that they were looking for his greatest weakness," explained Conner. "It was right before Kimberly came in."
"Did he say what his greatest weakness was?" questioned Kira.
"No," admitted Conner. "He won't tell anyone. I've asked him several times what it was. He won't tell me what it is."
"Conner, I think I know what his greatest weakness was," informed Kira. "But don't quote me on this. You can tell Ethan. But, please ask him not to repeat this to anyone. This is only guess work."
"Okay, what is?" asked Conner.
"Do you remember when Tommy became the black ranger?" replied Kira.
"Yeah, it was nearly a week ago," stated Conner. "What about it?"
"Do you remember how he didn't want Kimberly to know about us being power rangers and him finding the black Dino gem?" asked Kira.
"Yes, I do," declared Conner. "What about it?"
"He said that he was worried because there was a pink dino gem. Doctor O said he was afraid that the gem was hers. He told Ethan that he sent his two nieces away to protect them," explained Kira. "Then he said that he would send Kimberly away too. But, he could do it because she was married to him."
"That's when I saw her sitting down behind him!" gasped Conner. "We asked Doctor O who he was married to, what she did for a living and what she looked like."
"He said she petite, had shoulder length brown hair and she was very beautiful," added Kira. "He told us he was married to Kimberly and she was his whole life."
"Ethan asked her how he was able to hide all of this. Doctor O said she was coaching the swim team and was the assistant cheerleading coach," said Conner. "That was when he said that she didn't know about the dino gems being found, because she to stay after school."
"When Tommy got kidnapped he didn't come hear me sing or go to his meeting out of town," gasped Kira. "He didn't call Kimberly that night and he missed a day of school without calling in. She came to Haley's after we found Tommy. When he realized she was there, she told us that she already knew about the gems. She helped him build the lab; and she knew that Tommy created a red, blue, yellow, pink, black, and white gem."
"I remember that," reminded Conner. "She wanted to know how many of them gems had been found, and who had them. When Doctor O, showed her that he had the black gem she fainted."
"When we met him down at his basement, Haley said Kimberly knew that the gems had been found," informed Kira. "She knew because she saw something pink glowing at the of their pool. That was when Haley said that she came to the café. I bet Kim already knew that there was a chance they'd be rangers again. That's probably why she want him with her, when she went to go get the dino gem."
"Why did we change topics?" asked Conner. "We were discussing about Doctor O's greatest weakness was."
"Sorry," apologized Kira. "Last night I was remembering what happened at the café and why Tommy didn't want Kim to know about the gems being found and why he feared the pink gem was hers."
"Are you thinking, what I'm thinking?" asked Conner.
"I don't know what that would be," answered Kira.
"I think Kimberly is Doctor O's greatest weakness!" cried Conner.
"Conner, you were right," Kira said in disbelief. "I was also thinking the same thing. I too, believe she is his greatest weakness. Did Ethan and Haley suspect this?"
"Ethan did," answered Conner. "He was able to put two and two together after Tommy didn't want Kim to know about the gems, he feared the pink gem was for her, he said Kimberly was his whole life, and he wanted to send her away. I've know this for a few days."
"I have to," admitted Kira. "I knew from how Tommy was reacting and everything that he said about her."
"Do we have time to contact Ethan and Haley?" asked Conner. "We need to let Haley know about this."
"You keep focusing on driving," ordered Kira. "I'll call Ethan on my cell phone."
Kira got her cell phone out of her pocket and began to call Ethan. Meanwhile, Haley and Ethan were playing chess in Tommy's basement.
"Checkmate," smiled Ethan.
"Ethan this the third time we've played," reminded Haley. "You've beat me all three time."
Ethan heard his cell phone go off and he answered it.
"Hello," answered Ethan.
"Ethan, this is Kira," stated Kira. "Conner and I are almost to Stone Canyon. We were talking about Doctor O's greatest weakness. He said that you knew what it is. Conner said you two talked about it, when he spent the night at your house."
"It's true, we did talk about it," replied Ethan.
"Conner and I were talking about it and I explained to him how I figured out what Doctor O's greatest weakness is," explained Kira.
"So, you know what it is too?" asked Ethan.
"Yes," informed Kira. "The reason why I called was to tell you that I knew what it was. And the biggest reason why I called was because I wanted to know if Haley knew what it was."
"Ethan, hand me your cell phone," requested Haley.
Ethan handed Haley his cell phone.
"Kira, this is Haley," announced Haley. "When Ethan came here from school, he said he wanted to talk to me. He told me that he knew what Tommy's greatest weakness was. At first I didn't believe it, because I knew Tommy would never tell anyone what it was. However, Ethan explained to me what took place at the café the other day. I was told what Tommy had said to all three of you."
"Haley, his greatest weakness is Kimberly, isn't it?" asked Kira. "We were able to pick up on it because he didn't want her to know about the gems, he feared the pink gem was hers, how Kim was his whole life, how he wanted to send her away, how Kim reacted after she heard him talk to us in the café, how she wanted to know what gems were found, what color the gems were, who had the gems, and how she saw the pink gem at the bottom of their private pool."
"All three of you were able to pick up on it really quick!" gasped Haley. "Yes, I know what Tommy's greatest weakness is. All of you are correct, his greatest weakness is Kimberly."
A Few Hours Later Swim Match At Stone Canyon
The swim match had just ended and Reefside High School were declared the winners. Kimberly and all of the team members went to locker rooms to get a shower and change out of their wet suits. Just like at Reefside, all coaches and assistant coaches had private locker room. Kimberly slipped off her swimsuit and took a quick shower. As soon as she took her shower, Kimberly dried off and put her swim suit on. Then she put on her tracksuit. During the match, she had to get in the water a lot to talk with the team about the match. She didn't want to put on her sleeveless polo and it get all wet. Nor did she want to be uncomfortable on the way home. Her tracksuit had lining in it and she'd be warm enough. She folded her polo up and she quickly noticed her shirt had a lot of seams ripping out. Kimberly went outside the locker room and Tommy was waiting for her.
"Tommy, look at my shirt," requested Kimberly. "It has seems ripping out."
"I guess we bought a shirt with poor manufacturing," replied Tommy. "We'll buy you a replacement, when we got to the mall. Do you have anything to wear home?"
"I'm wearing my tracksuit underneath my tracksuit," answered Kimberly. "My suit has lining in it. I'll be warm enough."
Tommy followed Kimberly and the other team members on to the bus. They sat up front in the second seat. Randall was in front of them.
"CAN I HAVE EVERYONE'S ATTENTION?" requested Randall. "IT IS 6:15 P.M.! I KNOW NONE OF YOU HAVE HAD ANY DINNER AND WE'RE GOING TO STOP SOME WHERE TO EAT. I WAS THINKING WE COULD STOP TO EAT THE STONE CANYON MALL. WE'LL GIVE EVERYONE A CHANCE TO SHOP. WE DON'T HAVE TO BE BACK AT SCHOOL UNTIL 9:00."
Randall took a seat back down in front of Tommy and Kimberly. She turned around to face them.
"You did pretty well for a first timer," smirked Randall. "You followed all the directions and did everything that was required of you. I noticed that you didn't change your clothes."
"The seams in my shirt was ripping out," answered Kimberly. "I didn't bring another shirt with me. So, I just decided that I'd wear my swimsuit underneath my tracksuit. It's suppose to rain any way. "
"The Coach is allowed to change after every swim match," informed Randall. "Why didn't you?"
"I didn't know that I was allowed to do that," gasped Kimberly. "What do I need to bring next time to change into."
"What every you want to wear," stated Randall. " Doctor Oliver has to be at every game too. But, he's free to wear what ever he wants. There will be a time when you both will get in the water. But, that will be when the team is doing more advanced swimming techniques. But, when he is required to get in the water, he'll just need to bring a pair of swimming trunks to wear during the game."
Kimberly was really tired from teaching PE, Swimming, and coaching the Swim team all day. She laid her head on Tommy's shoulder and he wrapped his arm around her. He noticed that both of the sleeves on her jacket had several safety pins in it. Tommy didn't remember her out fit looking like that when they left for school. Then he noticed there were a lot of safety pins on each side of her pants. Finally Tommy noticed that there were pieces of pink duct tape on her jacket and pants. It dawned on him that someone damaged her clothes during the swim match or while she was teaching swimming. Even though they were stopping to eat, Tommy couldn't let her walk around like that. As soon as they stopped at the mall, he was going to buy her a new outfit to wear.
Just then Randall turned around again.
"Doctor Oliver, what happened to her outfit?" asked Randall. "I just noticed her outfit has a lot safety pins in it. Why did she go to the game like that?"
Kimberly looked like she was getting ready to freak.
"Did you know she about her clothes, Doctor Oliver?" questioned Randall. "Were her clothes like this when she came to school or when we left for the game? You better tell me the truth. Just because you are married to her, doesn't give you the right to lie to for her."
"Her clothes were fine, when we left this morning," promised Tommy.
"How were they when you left for the game?" asked Randall.
"They were fine," answered Tommy.
"When did you notice her clothes were in horrible shape?!" demanded Randall.
"After I took my shower," lied Kimberly. "It was when I took my shower. We bought this outfit a few weeks ago. I noticed there was tear in it, so I got a needle and thread and fixed it. I didn't know that the whole suit was like this. If I did, I promise you that I wouldn't have worn it."
"I can understand that," answered Randall. "Before you get back on this bus, you better have on better clothes. I won't accept I didn't have time because I was eating dinner."
"Principal Randall, I promise you that she will have a better outfit on, when we get back on the bus," promised Tommy. "I'll help her go pick out an outfit."
The bus stopped about at the Stone Canyon Mall at 6:45 PM. Everyone got off the bus, Tommy grabbed his bag and they went inside the mall. Tommy took Kimberly to JC Penny to buy an outfit.
"Beautiful, we need to hurry since, have a limited amount of time," warned Tommy. "Do have any idea what you want to buy."
"Something pink," replied Kimberly. "Remember I have to buy pants, a shirt, and undergarments, since I wore a swimsuit underneath my tracksuit."
"You pick out your shirt and undergarments," stated Tommy. "I'll get you a pair of pants and a rain coat."
Both of them split up in the store so they could get done faster. Kimberly picked out a pair pink socks, some undergarments and a pale pink top. Tommy knew she liked fancy pants and designer jeans. Since they had a limited amount of time, he just looked in the athletic department because he knew she had all types of pink tracksuits and track pants. Tommy saw a bubblegum pink windbreaker set that he thought would make Kimberly look very pretty. The pants had two pale pink horizontal stripes on each legs and the jacket had two pale pink horizontal stripes on each leg. Since the tracksuits were on sale he got the other four suits that they had in her size. It was the same outfit. Kimberly said she'd be wearing a tracksuit to school every day, when it got colder and all through the winter months. After he got her outfit and raincoat he meet her at the front of the store.
"What do you think, Beautiful?" asked Tommy.
He held up one of the suits to let her look at it. She really liked the outfit a lot and she couldn't wait to change her clothes. After they checked out they went to a family bathroom, so she could change. Before she removed her pants and jacket, Tommy took out all of the safety pins so she couldn't get stuck, when she took them off. He also removed the pink tape of her jackets and pants. As soon as the pins and tape were off her jacket and pants, the tracksuit fell off her body since all of the seams were ripped out.
"I bet Randall is responsible for this," whispered Kimberly.
"It wouldn't surprise me," answered Tommy.
When Kimberly took off her swim suit, she noticed all the seams were ripping out in it. Both of them knew someone had tore up her swimsuit, while she was in the shower. Tommy threw all of her torn clothes away. He cut of the sales tags on the clothes she was going to put on. He handed her one of the pink outfits and she started to get dressed. While she was getting dressed, Tommy opened the front panel of his back pack and neatly folded up the up four pairs of pants and the other four jackets. He put the shopping bag and the receipt in the front panel two, so he'd have proof that he bought them. Tommy cut off the tag on Kimberly's pink rain coat.
"Tommy what do you think?" asked Kimberly.
Tommy looked up and saw her wearing her new outfit. He liked how her socks were the same color of shirt, and the stripes on her tracksuit. And he thought she looked very beautiful in bubblegum pink.
"Kimberly, you look very beautiful," complement Tommy.
She hugged him and then she kissed him Twice. One because he helped her pick out an outfit. And two, because he bought the same tracksuit four times. Both of them left the bathroom and went to the food court to get some dinner. They ran into Randall in the food court and she walked over to them, when she saw Kimberly in her new tracksuit and rain coat.
"Mrs. Oliver, you look so pretty," stated Randall. "Did you pick that out yourself?"
"Actually, Tommy picked out my outfit," smiled Kimberly.
"Doctor Oliver, you did a good job picking out her outfit," remarked Randall. "You must have went to a lot of trouble."
"It wasn't any trouble," smiled Tommy. "Beautiful, wears a lot of pink."
"Every time you talk to Mrs. Oliver, you address her as "Beautiful," instead of her actual name," remarked Randall. "And she didn't have to buy another athletic suit, I said you needed to make sure she was wearing better clothes, before she got back on the bus."
"Beautiful was a nickname that I gave her in high school. She was really beautiful back in those days, and she still is," explained Tommy. "She likes to look nice. She wears a lot of designer clothes, fancy clothes, a tracksuit, or a pair of track pants all the time. I help her pick out fancy and nice outfits to wear. I saw this outfit and thought she'd look pretty in it. Kimberly looks very beautiful in pink outfits."
"Doctor Oliver, you've done enough bragging on this girl," Randall said hatefully. "There girls who look prettier than her. And you still chose her. I am one of nicer looking girls in the world. If you ever chose to divorce that girl, feel free to ask me on date. I'd say yes and be glad to date you."
"Thanks for the offer," responded Tommy. "But, I have the girl that I want. She's pretty, kind, generous, thoughtful, and sweet. And I love her so much. There are other wonder people like Kimberly in the world, and I hope you find someone as wonderful as Kimberly."
"I don't need to hear you defend the girl anymore. I get the point," declared Randall. "It's 7:30 and we have 15 minutes before we get back on the bus. You need to be getting some dinner before we leave."
Randall walked off very angry. Kimberly looked offended and really hurt over what Randall said. Tommy gave her a hug and kissed her. He noticed there was a Mexican restaurant in the food court. Tommy decided to take Kimberly to the Mexican restaurant for dinner. Meanwhile, a lot of strangers asked Randall why she was hitting on Tommy, when she knew he was already married. It really embarrassed Randall and she wanted to get even with Tommy. She looked at her watch and saw it 7:35 PM. When Tommy and Kimberly got of the bus first, she told all of the other students to check in with her after they finished eating. She pulled out the list of kids on the team. Every person had a check by their name. It began to storm and it would give a perfect excuse to get the bus driver to leave the mall. It was the perfect trick to pull on Kimberly and Tommy, they'd have to walk home in the down pour and in the sever storm.
