Own no one, though
if someone would be willing to give me Obi and Anakin, I really
wouldn't mind…(glances hopefully at George Lucas)
Pairings:
Jason/Kimberly,
Katherine/Billy, mentions of Tommy/Katherine
Summary:
Yoda and ObiWan visited Kimberly in a Dream. Now two more people have
decided to speak with Katherine.
A/N:
EstelKenobi said "get your little tail writing missy!" when I
mentioned I had ideas for four sequel one-shots to Dreams
and when she tells me to do something, I have this bad habit of
listening. I blame her and so should you. : )
Princess Leia to Han You certainly have a way with people...
"Kimberly, what have you done to me?" Katherine muttered to herself as she looked around at her surroundings. She was in the middle of a beauty field, vaguely familiar animals grazing in the distance. She sighed. Thanks to Kimberly's story of meeting Yoda, the annoying stick wielding and hitting, green guy in her dreams, Katherine had dreamed up her own Star Wars world.
"Thanks Kim, thanks a whole lot. As if my dreams weren't odd enough without you interfering." She mumbled as she looked around. A slight laugh had her whirling around, only to find herself facing to very familiar women. "Oh boy."
"Hello Katherine." Princess Leia grinned at her. Kat could only blink as Padme Amidala stood up from beside her daughter, a rose in her hand.
"Dreams can show your innermost secrets and desires." Padme smiled, "Not to mention your subconscious thoughts."
"Yoda and Qui Gon helped Kim ask Jason out, something me and the girls have been trying to get her to do for months. Why are you here?" Katherine asked curiously, having decided to simply go with it. At least I didn't get stuck with a guy who hits people to get them to understand.
Padme giggled. "Master Yoda always was a bit quirky." She agreed. Katherine smiled wryly while Princess Leia smirked.
"Males are quirky. It's a fact of life." She corrected her mother flippantly. Katherine snickered in agreement. Padme eyed the blonde and said one name.
"Billy."
Katherine froze, her eyes darting between the two women. "Huh?"
"Now look what you did, Mother, you startled her." Leia exclaimed, frowning at Padme. The former queen of Naboo rolled her eyes.
"That was the point, Leia. That's why she's here. To accept her feelings for the Blue Ranger." Padme reminded Leia. With that, the two began squabbling as only a mother and daughters were capable, completely ignoring the now gaping former pink ranger.
"Um, ladies?" Katherine finally spoke. The two women stopped and turned around, eyeing Katherine with amusement.
"Yes?" They asked as one. Katherine blinked. That's freaky. The two Naboo women smiled.
"Go on." Padme encouraged her. Katherine eyed her warily.
"He's not interested in me." Katherine blurted. Padme chuckled and Leia smiled softly.
"Au contraire, ma petite, he's very interested. He simply thinks you're still hung up on Tommy and so won't say anything." Padme explained. Katherine blinked again.
"You really think so?" She asked, surprised. Leia raised an eyebrow.
"We're your subconscious in astral form, so what do you think?" She asked. Katherine bit her lip, smiling.
"I have to make it clear to him I'm not interested in Tommy, I take it?" She asked. Padme shook her head.
"Unless you make the first move, he's never going to think you're not still in love with the former Technicolor ranger." Padme explained. Katherine nodded.
"Thank you." She told them. The two women smiled at her.
"Good luck, Katherine."
Katherine slowly opened her eyes, a smile on her face. In the light of day, she found the strength to finally face her demons. Not even bothering to change, she bounded into the living room and grabbed the phone.
"Hello?" Billy sounded just the same as he did when they were teens and Katherine smiled.
"Billy, it's Katherine." She greeted him. She could almost hear his smile.
"Katherine! Hi, how are you? How's being back in Angel Grove, I'm sorry I haven't been by to welcome you back yet, I've been busy getting used to being back on Earth myself." He apologized. Katherine's eyes twinkled.
"I'm not in love with Tommy. I don't think I ever have been." She told him seriously. She waited patiently, knowing the bomb she had just dropped would stun him.
"I…see." He replied, confused. She took a deep breath.
"There is one person, however, I think I've always had feelings for, I was simply too blind to realize it." She told him. She could almost hear the cogs turning in his head as he realized where, exactly, she was going with this.
"Oh?" The former pink ranger smiled at the hope she could hear in his voice.
"Will you go to dinner with me Friday night? And I don't mean as friends." She waited with bated breath and nearly jumped for joy at his answer.
"I'd love to Katherine."
"So let me get this straight, you had a dream of Princess Leia and Padme Amidala who told you to get with the asking? That sucks!" Kimberly frowned from Jason's arms. They, Katherine, and Billy had gotten together for a BBQ two weeks after the former pink and blue ranger's had gotten together. Katherine eyed her, confused. Billy raised an eyebrow.
"How does that suck? It worked, didn't it?" The former blue ranger pointed out, a bit miffed. Kim pouted.
"Katherine got two sweet, independent, understanding women while I got a short green guy who liked hitting people with his stick a little but too much!" She grumbled. Jason, Billy, and Katherine started laughing.
"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up, next time, I get Anakin!"
