Power Rangers does not belong to me (Although I wouldn't mind). Only the original characters are mine.

Also for this story Tommy and Kim have long since put the letter behind them, and have beeen back together for three months.

The Next Year

Chapter 1. Getting up to the day.

_______________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________________

Doctor Thomas Oliver woke up to the shrill if his alarm clock and sighed as he sat up in bed to switch it off.

"Five thirty already." He complained

"That's what you get for being a high school science teacher." A sleepy but beautiful voice behind him said.

He smiled and said, "Kimberly Ann Hart, you don't have to rub it in you know.", as he grabbed her and pulled her in for a kiss. "I just can't believe it's the first day of school already."

She looked at him and in a playful tone said "I repeat my previous statement."

He let out a little chuckle, "By the way how did you get Elsa to give you the day off? I mean it's your first day as the official Reefside High gymnastics coach."

"It's actually quite simple really." She smiled slyly, "I told her the original red ranger was moving here to open a branch of his karate studio and I have to pick him up at the airport."

"Speaking of Jason, what time does he get in?" He asked as he got up to make his way to the bathroom for his morning shower.

"His plane lands at one o'clock." She said while tossing him a clean pair of boxers.

"I still can't believe you have to drive all the way to Angel Grove to pic him up." He said while picking out his clothes for the day. "That's a bit of a drive."

She laughed a bit at his comment. "Well maybe if the power rangers had stopped that zelzord thing sooner Reefside wouldn't have to rebuild their airport."

"Hey, I don't want to hear it, we blew up two perfectly good megazords to stop that thing you know." He whined making a sad puppy face which only had the effect of making her laugh at him.

"Alright Mister half the ranger color spectrum." She giggled out.

"That's Dr. half the ranger color spectrum to you missy." He countered back.

She just stared as he turned around and walked into the bathroom. As soon as the door closed she let out a giggle. "I can't believe it's already been three months Dr. O."

Immediately the door swung open with a totally nude Tommy standing there, "Don't call me Dr. O, Miss Hart I believe you have been informed that only my students are allowed to call me that." And he shut the door once more. Once she heard the shower start she decided to catch a few more winks before she too had to get up and start her day.

Once he finished his shower and got dressed he gently shook her awake. "Hey beautiful, time to wake up."

She opened her eyes and looked at him, "Is it really you?" she asked.

He chuckled a bit and said, "You really never do get tired of that?"

"Never." She replied.

He stood up to put his shirt on and looked her in the eyes. "You know we've been back together for three months and for the last two weeks you have only been back to your apartment to get essentials. So I was thinking maybe we should just take the next logical step and have you move in here."

Her eyes lit up as she pulled him down to here for a quick kiss. "Why Dr. Oliver, I thought you would never ask. I'll have Jason help me get my things and we'll both be settled in by the end of the week."

"Remind me why I told him he could stay here till he gets his dojo up and running?" Tommy chuckled.

"Well it may have something to do with him moving here from New York, Not having a car since ones not needed there, and him being too busy getting the studio up and running to look for a place to live." She said.

He looked over her wonderful curves, met her eyes and said, "You're right of course."

"I always am ", she said back to him with a smirk.

With that he gave her one last kiss, grabbed his breifcase and headed out the door to start his second year as a high school science teacher.
