CHAPTER 1 Song Bird Kira
"I am waiting.....I am waiting....I am waiting for you to come home....I'm sick of being alone....I love you dear...I need you near...but you're so far away....get on that stupid plane....and come home...because I am waiting...I am waiting....," Kira sang with all her heart. Trent smiled. He had never seen Kira work so hard and yet have so much fun at the same time, with some exceptions to their ranger days. It had been one month to the day since the double weddings of Tori and Blake and Kim and Tommy. Even though they kept in touch, Kira and Trent had to keep busy while waiting for phone calls, letters, and emails from the storm rangers as well as their fellow Dino rangers. Dr. Oliver and his new wife still lived in Reefside but Conner and Ethan were constantly at school, surprisingly enough. They saw them a lot more than they saw Devin. He was not that far away but the distance was enough to keep him away some weekends. Soon after the wedding, Leila had moved back to the Thunder Academy, along with Laura and Hunter. With Anton and Trent still in Reefside, there were no problems with keeping in touch. When Leila did not drop in on them in Reefside, Trent, and sometimes Kira and his dad, made the journey to the Thunder Academy. Tori and Blake had found a house in Blue Bay Harbor while Dustin, Shane, and Cam returned to the Wind Academy. Kira had managed to balance social life with recording her album. She had made it perfectly clear that seeing her friends enough was important for her to write good songs. The record company was more than happy to oblige after they saw the progress she made in just one month's time. Kira had managed to lay down seven tracks and was well on her way to finishing the last few in only a few weeks time.
Trent swallowed hard when he thought of how soon Kira would be done. He knew all too well that life would be different once the album was finished. There would be photo shoots, autographs, promotions, tours, anything and everything to keep her busy. Trent had spent each and every day since the bachelor party contemplating what the guys had said. The more he thought about it, and with each passing day that he spent with her, the more Trent felt the urge to ask her to marry him. But he did not want to be selfish. She had worked for a record deal long before she had even laid eyes on him. The right time to ask would come soon, but he wasn't sure if he could stand the waiting.
"Great job Kira. Come on in for the playback," said the sound engineer. Trent sketched the last detail on his drawing as he beloved came out of the sound recording both. He quickly opened up his arms. Kira bent down to hug him back excitedly, only to have him pull her into his lap.
"Trent," she said laughing. Trent looked at her with a 'what did I do' look and she just laughed again. The two exchanging loving kisses while the sound engineer smiled and shook his head at the two.
"What is this?" Kira asked, seeing his sketchbook and pulling it out to look. Trent smiled as Kira gasped. It was a drawing he had been working on for her, with the idea that she may use it as a record cover. It was drawing of her in the middle with her guitar on one side and her power ranger double on the other. In the background were drawings of him, Conner, Ethan, Devin, Dr. Oliver, Leila, Tori, Hayley, and all the other rangers significant to Kira. The words across the cover read, "Get To Know Me, Kira Ford."
"You like it?" Trent asked nervously. Kira smiled at him and kissed him passionately.
"I love it. This is going to be an awesome album cover," Kira said.
"Hey you two, smile," came a voice. Kira and Trent looked up to see Dave, the photographer the record company had hired. They leaned and smiled for the camera, holding each other like a couple should. Along with song lyrics and thanks yous, Kira wanted to have photos displaying different parts of her life in the CD fold out, and Trent definitely fell under that category.
"Okay, Kira, here we go," said the sound engineer. He flipped the right switch and record starting rolling. The music blared and it was great. Trent bopped his head to beat teasingly and Kira started laughing.
"Are you making fun of me?" she asked. Trent smiled innocently.
"No I love the song," he said reassuringly, but attempting not to laugh. Kira hit him playfully and the two engaged in a little fight that the engineers were all used to. The way Kira worked, she was more than welcome to have a little playtime. But after a little bit, they got tired of watching the two.
"Hey Kira, if we get started, we might be able to get most of this other song down tonight," Mike, the sound engineer, said.
"Really? Cool, that would give me some extra time this weekend," Kira said, giving a hint to Trent.
"Which means we can BOTH go visit Leila," he said happily, leaning in to kiss her, "Then I think I will leave you alone to work while I go help Hayley at the café." Trent said his goodbyes to the sound crew and walked out of the record company building. He sighed as he walked along at his own relaxed pace. Soon after the wedding, Hayley had taken a teaching position at the same college Ethan was attending. She did not want to close down the café because of its success, so she had arranged for Trent to be the café's manager when she couldn't be there. Last time Trent had heard from Hayley, she had Ethan as a student and was making arrangements for him to be her teaching assistant the following semester. Hayley had been spending so much time at the school that she was about to go nuts. She had called Trent to say that she was canceling her office hours for the day and was coming back to the café for the day. Trent was only a few blocks away when his cell phone rang.
"Hello," he said.
"Hey bro," said a familiar voice. Trent smiled.
"Hey Leila, what's up?" he asked.
"Just wanted to check in and see if you were still coming this weekend," Leila said.
"Oh yeah, I'm definitely coming. Kira's trying to get another song recorded tonight. If she does then she'll be able to come up this weekend too," Trent said.
"Cool, I hope she can," Leila said happily. Trent sighed.
"Yeah me too," Trent said kind of distantly.
"Trent, are you STILL worried about the music career for Kira?" Leila asked.
"How do you know I'm worried about that?" Trent asked.
"You mean besides that you make it so obvious?" Leila asked sarcastically but seriously. Trent sighed and rolled his eyes, smiling at how well his sister knew him.
"I can't state enough how happy I am for her, but I'm just worried. I guess because it's something new and it's not the type of challenge I saw for our relationship when I started dating her," Trent said.
"Look Trent, you two are too in love to let this be the breaking point. You might think waiting and letting her enjoy her career is the right thing to do, but she might feel more comfortable and steady if she was confident you were by her side," Leila said.
"But I AM by her side," Trent said defensively.
"I know that Trent, and so does Kira. What I'm trying to say is that even though Kira is living one of her dreams, you are a bigger dream come true for her. She would give this all up for you if she thought she should," Leila said. Trent sighed.
"I don't want her to do that," he said.
"Then show her that you don't. I gotta go. I've got a class to teach. Love you bro and think about what I said," Leila said.
"I will. Love you too. Give my regards to Hunter and I'll see you both this weekend," Trent said, hanging up the phone. He sighed and looked up at the bright blue sky. He knew that Kira was the one for him and no matter how he felt about her music career, the fact that she was THE girl for him would never change. He made a sound decision right then and there that he would ask Kira to be his wife.
Well, that's the end of Chapter one. Tell me what you think. Good times approach for Kira and Trent as he finds the courage to propose to her. But what is to come once her album is finished and she starts touring. What evil lurks inside the recording company that would love to tear Kira and Trent apart? Find out in the Chapters to come.
