Title: Double Entendres

Oh wow, this is actually my very first try at writing a Power Rangers fic. Never thought I’d actually branch out.
Summary:Pretty much accidents due to double meanings when the listeners just so happens to have minds in the gutter.
Warning: WARNING!! The jokes and double meanings in this fic can get very dirty. Very, very, very, very, very dirty…so if you guys don’t like the slapstick-ish vulgar humor, then you shouldn’t read this. I’m going to be safe and say that no one under fifteen should read this. If you are under fifteen and you read it and find it offensive…please don’t flame me. I warned you. That’s all I can do.
Most credits go to one of my favorite authors, Skyrose, who gave me permission to use most of the plot and lines from her work, Double Entendres (Pretty much 80% of this fic is hers, I just change the characters and plot after getting her permission.)

Part 1 (Let's start off with something mild)
Tommy James Oliver didn’t know what to make of his current situation. It had only been a few months after he lost his invisibility powers in exhausting the Dino Gems and finally defeating that evil Mesogog. So he was sure he would finally settle down from the whole Power Ranger business and lead a normal life teaching as science teacher. But things sure picked a bit from there. For one thing, in one night on his way to the grocery store, he accidentally came across his high school ex-school girlfriend.
Short. Cute. Beautiful. The first ever Pink Ranger.
A snatch thief was trying to get away with her purse, and she had been chasing him with such a furious and determined look.
Nobody messes with a Pink Ranger, retired or not, and gets a way with it.
So Tommy cloth lined the guy in one swift move when he heard the call of help for anyone to stop the snatch thief. They got both former rangers turned to get the surprise of their lives when they finally recognized each other. Aside from the awkward moment, unexpectedly lack of shouts, knowledge of her having recently moving to Reefside, they were fine.
Well that little reunion was another story.
What Tommy was busy thinking was his current reunion, all thanks to the return of his friend, Billy Cranston, from the Planet Aquitar. Apparently there was a whole lot more of things to come.
So here Tommy was, sitting along with the rest of his friends, most of them being former Power Rangers all the way back since he ever started as the Green Ranger. Having all them here, after all this was amazing. The moment they got news of Billy’s return from the alien planet across the galaxy and how he wanted to meet all of them as soon as possible. There they were together, as Jason, Zack, Billy, Trini, Rocky, Adam, Aisha, Katherine, Tanya, Kimberly, Hayley being the only person who hasn’t ever been a Ranger, and him in his own secret underground 'Command Center'. Tommy had made the necessary preparations, even as far as adding more chairs in the briefing room. From what they’ve heard so far, there’s a really big chance of them being called on duty to serve as a Power Ranger again.
Oh well, like the saying goes, ‘Once a Ranger, always a Ranger,’
Tommy shook his head slightly, his eyes landing on Kim as she sat across the table in front of him. Billy was actually sitting at one end of the long table, he had even passed out files for the rest to read, occasionally pinpointing them to read parts of it as he began his presentation.
Kim’s chin was resting gently on the back of her hand and her eyes were focused on the report in front of her. For the first time since Tommy had seen her entered his house, she looked relaxed. The familiar straight-back posture she usually had was replaced with a less severe, but still respectable posture. A few stray pieces of her hair tickled her brow and she absently blew them back into place.
Damn, she was adorable.
As if feeling his gaze Kim glanced up. Instead of straightening up and clearing her throat as she often did every time she catches him looking at her, she remained in her current position and gave him that same beautiful smile of hers. He recognized and remembered, this distinct smile of hers, that was reserved only for him.
Despite the many years they hadn’t seen each, memories of when he pretty much naïve in terms of love and relationships.
From the looks of it........
Oh, boy.
Tommy had known he was hosed the minute he saw her that night after retrieving her purse. She looked tired alright, being able to keep pace in chasing after the snatch thief and her purse. The look on her when panted to catch her breath, that didn’t really help, especially with the lack of relationships and sex in Tommy’s life.
Was he able to love her again like he did all those years ago? His mind told him, even if the chance came, he’d never love the same way ever gain. But, it would pass…right? Unfortunately for him, he didn’t think so. Life seemed to like playing cruel jokes on Tommy James Oliver…and apparently Kimber Ann Heart was the next one.
Damn.
Still smiling softly, Kim tore her gaze from the veteran Ranger and reached for the water pitcher that was on the table, one located much neared to Tommy.
Sighing, she realized that it was out of her reach as she sat. ‘You have got to be kidding me… I know I’m not that short.’
Her subconscious answered, ‘Short legs, short hands. Unless you’re some kind of ape… What was orange ape thing that was in Animal Planet? Long hands, shorter legs… the Orangutan? At least they had long hands’
Kim did spend most of her bored times, if desperate boredom came to desperate measures. Sitting in front of the TV, that she was told herself was nothing because of her love life, or what’s lack of it. Cooking shows, animal documentaries, soap opera, so on, and so forth as to whatever came in cable.
Pushing that thought away, standing half-way up, balanced on her toes, Kim’s hand barely grazed the handle. She saw the amused smirks on everyone else’s faces and groaned inwardly. Expecting Tommy to lean back and watch her struggle with the pitcher she was utterly surprised when he shooed her hand away; fingers lightly brushing her own. Ignoring the completely inappropriate thoughts that sprang to her mind she glanced at him, confused.
Tommy gave her a genuine smile. “I’ll fill you up, Kim.” He spoke slowly, still amused.
Kim and some of others froze while some like Jason and Trini glanced up sharply from reading their reports, staring at Tommy in disbelief. Rocky spluttered on the water he was drinking, Zack raised an eyebrow…which could mean anything, a smirk curved on his lips.
Tommy paused sensing the sudden heavy silence in the room. He glanced at everyone within his vision and nervously smiled.
Looking back at Kim’s surprised gaze, his words caught up to him. ‘I’ll fill you up, Kim.’ He blanched. While very tame as far in the way as double meanings go…they were just two friends who recently rebuilt their friendship, just getting to know one another as to what happened all these years, visit and call one another a few times, pretty much just that.
Crap.
“Kim…” Tommy started, he didn’t know why he was looking at Jason. Probably because he was like Kim’s big brother and his own best friend. “I…that wasn’t what it…what I mean is that I…” he took a deep breath, forcing himself back into his cool, composed leader persona that he had in leading the young Dino Thunder Rangers. Smiling slightly, he leaned back. “Just slip of the tongue, Jason. Kim. You guys…”
Interestingly, a grin played across his lips, as Kim was flushing quite noticeably, and everyone else chuckled in their seats.
Jason cast one look and shook his head in amusement, pretty much everyone had that knowing look, saving those two from much further embarrassment and their delicate rebuilt friendship.
There would be more interesting things to come aside from returning back to duty as active ‘Power Rangers’ again.
Jason and Trini exchanged glances, he knew his wife was thinking the same thing, ‘I think we all know where this is going…’
Part 2
Kimberly Ann Hart looked out through her kitchen window, and watched all of her close friends and other former rangers that had come to the party. She had to admit, despite the music that was blaring out loud from her outside speakers, it was quite lively and catchy that she liked. Evident from the fact that she tapped her nails on the kitchen counter, as she listened on. All the loud music was courtesy of those young former Dino Thunder Rangers who came to the party, in fact, the party was sort of for them, as they dropped by their hometown and decided to visit their so called ‘Dr.O’.
She really found it hard to believe the fact as to how that a martial arts enthusiast the first time she laid her eyes on him, had become a science teacher.
Then again, there were a lot of things she was surprised to find out as she and Tommy met and forged their friendship anew three months ago. She’s probably more surprised of how his life had turned out more than what learned about hers.
Rocky and Conner, who got along rather easily, were eating as they sat not too far away from the radio. Then there were Ethan, Billy, Trent, Haley, Katherine, Tanya, and Aisha talking on side. Kim smiled when she looked at Tommy as he laughed along with Jason and Adam as to whatever Zack was talking about.
“You have that smile again,”
Kim was startled, turning around and pretty much looked like a deer caught in the headlights, as the original Yellow Ranger, Trini Kwan had her own smile.
“You are so staying away from me if I ever develop a heart condition,” Kim had her hand on her chest as she frowned at her friend.
“From the looks of it, you already have one, Kim,” Trini set down an empty bowl, she raised an eye brow at the play of words, “A Hart with a heart condition.”
“Very funny,” Kim knew the cookies had sufficiently cooled down, placing the treats onto a plate.
“I’m just so happy to see you with that Tommy smile of yours,” replied Trini.
“Tommy smile?” repeated Kim, though she already knew what her friend was talking about.
“The one you usually had ever since you met Tommy,” answered Trini. “They usually change the more they happen,”
The plate of cookies and bowl of chips were already filled.
“They occurred more and more till the day he finally asked you out,” continued on Trini, she tapped her chin as if simply trying to choose what to say from the vast availability of answers, “When you look at him when he’s not looking. Every time you were telling me how all those dates with him went, the times you’d tell us when he wrote you letters when he lost his Green Ranger powers, the time-”
“Okay, okay, I get it,”
“I think it’s safe to say where you two are going,” smiled Trini, “We’ll definitely have to see each other more often, if not, through web cams then. That way, I can see how you two are going along just by looking at your smiles.”
Kim hated how easily Trini could read her, if she was book. As weird as it sounds if it literally true, it’d probably be titled, ‘Kimberly Ann Hart, by Trini Kwan.’
She brushed away the thought.
They carried their bowls and plates of snacks, Rocky already getting up from his seat and ready for another round. When Tommy looked at Kim as she set the plate of cookies down, he smacked his forehead all because of his poor memory.
“Aw man, can’t believe I forgot,” muttered Tommy.
“Well that’s no surprise. What did you forget this time, bro?” asked Jason.
“I just remembered I have some chips I bought on my way over, they’re in my jeep,” Tommy finished the rest of his drink in a gulp and moved away, “I’ll be back,”
Kim seemed to be surprised when he lightly jogged away from the rest. “Tommy?”
“Just going back to get some snacks I forgot in the jeep, Beautiful.” whispered Tommy, he flashed a smile as he passed her.
Beautiful.
She turned around quickly, surprised by that one word that came from the legendary ranger’s mouth as she watched his back before he disappeared. So far to their relationship, that was the first time she ever heard him said ever since they made up as they caught up from the day she set foot in Reefside. Kim barely heard him thanks to that loud music, but she didn’t to mind that, but more on the adjective that Tommy just said. She wouldn’t deny if it if anyone asked if she was falling in love in him. Again.
Sure he was different from back then. But she knew was falling in love with him just the same. No, definitely more.
Kim turned back, not liking the way how Katherine, Haley, and all those yellow rangers were looking at her.
After a couple of minutes later, Tommy returned, apparently it was more than just some chips. Ethan and Jason went to lend Tommy a hand, despite him being okay with the plastic bags in his left and a paper bag in his right hand.
“I thought you said some chips,” Jason as he came closer.
“Yeah well as I forgetful as I am, I remembered Rocky was coming too. So I thought it’d never hurt to bring more,” explained Tommy. “Thanks, Ethan.”
“Guess we don’t have to worry about the food running out, Dr.O.” The former Blue Dino Ranger replied.
“Sure took you a while, you sure you haven’t forgot anything else bro?” Jason took the plastic bags from Tommy.
Tommy decided, in case he’d forget and saving both Kim and him the trouble, he shouted given the distance and the loud music so he could be heard, “Hey Kim! A delivery guy came with a package! I signed for you. Hope you don’t mind!”
“Delivery?” asked Trini.
Kim just shrugged, she shouted back, wondering why he was still there by the garden door. “Not at all! Thanks!”
“He left it by the front door! I wasn’t sure what you were going to do with it, so I left it there!” Tommy seemed like he was going back to get the package, since he was already at the garden door.
“It’s okay, Tommy!” shouted Kim, all the shouting had grabbed everyone’s attention even if they hadn’t been really been listening to the whole conversation from the beginning.
The music’s flow somehow just got louder, Kim didn’t notice Rocky reaching out to the volume knob of the radio, perhaps enough was enough given the fact Kim and Tommy had to shout. The second Red Ranger twisted the knob fully, completely the yard into silence.
A silence that didn’t immediately register with Kim.
“You can shove it through my back door!”
Kim had shouted loudly enough to carry across her entire yard. The first thought that came afterwards was that that had made no sense. It wasn’t like she had a doggie-door or anything.
The second was that it was suddenly very quiet.
Some like Kira, Conner, Zack, and Katherine had their mouths agape, a scene pretty much similar to the time, years ago, where Bulk and Skull announced that they were going to enter the Police Academy.
The third was the heart-dropping, stomach-sinking sensation that came with the knowledge of what double meaning her words had had.
Tommy and Jason stared at her in complete shock for what felt like a full minute.
Then Rocky was the first to burst out laughing, followed by Tommy and suddenly, everyone else was doubled over in laughter as well. Kim felt her cheeks burn and wished that the ground would just open up and swallow her just like when their Zords were defeated at the time Tommy was the evil Green Ranger. This had to be the most embarrassing moment of her life. She had just screamed for Tommy to shove it through her back door. In front of her fellow closest friends and some adolescents who she could pretty much bet what her words could mean.
Kim stuttered something about getting more chips before bolting towards her house. Tommy, who was leaning on her porch-rail for support and wiping his eyes, saw her half-running, half-jogging towards the sliding door that led to the kitchen. Her head was down and what little he could see of her face was red. As she made to run, he closed the distance from the garden door to her easily given he had longer legs. He reached out and caught her upper arms.
Kim kept her head down and refused to meet his eyes. “I have to get more chips.” She said in a voice barely above a whisper.
“Hey, Kim.” Tommy said gently. She met his eyes briefly before glancing down at her shoes again. Her eyes reflected embarrassment and a silent apology. “Don’t worry.” His voice was low and sincere.
When she looked at him again, her cheeks significantly less red, he smiled and cleared his throat. “Besides,” he said loudly and shrugged his shoulders in a cocky manner. “You’re not the first woman to tell me to do that.”
He was kidding. She knew he was just messing with her, but her cheeks flamed red again and she ducked her head as she disappeared into her kitchen.
Someday…that man was gonna pay.
Pretty much a whole lot of double meaning accidents began since that day….
