SPD - A love story: The musical
Chapter 1
It was a quiet weekend with no monsters threatening to destroy the city for a couple of days, allowing the Rangers to catch up on some long-awaited work and training. Doggie was in the command centre catching up on paperwork that had been slowly piling up. The rangers were training on a course outside and Kat was in her lab, busy with her own project, everything was quiet for them, but not for Kat's assistant, Boom.
"WHAT!" Boom almost shouted at a blond haired man in a blue SPD uniform standing in front of him.
"Kate's got the flu, she can't sing for today's practise." The man was calm when he answered Boom
"That's just great!" answered Boom, his voice dripping with sacrum, turning away from the blond-haired man and facing the rest of the group of a dark-spiked haired man, a man with his dark hair put back into a ponytail and a dark-skinned girl with her hair in dreadlocks. "Now how are we supposed to practise for the competition next week?"
"We can practise the music for it, and maybe a temporary replacement singer for the words." Suggested the dark-skinned girl
Boom perked up at these words.
"Grace, you are a genius." Boom exclaimed, going over to her and hugging her, "It turns out that Kat Manx owes me a favour."
"No way, Kat Manx is too high up to owe you favours." The dark-haired man was the first to speak up in reaction of this comment, which shocked the whole group.
"That's what you think," Boom replied, he then ran to the door before turning back to the group, "I'll be right back." And he ran out leaving a very shocked and disbelieving group.
Kat was still working on a project that would make the delta base into a megazord, called D.B.D.S; she was enjoying the quiet when her sensitive cat ears traced the sound of someone running down the corridor, footsteps she recognised as her assistant.
"Kat," he gasped as he ran in, Kat couldn't see why he ran but now he was paying the price because he was out of breath.
"What Boom?" she asked, part of her was annoyed because he had disturbed her, while the other part was concerned because of the fact he had been running to her.
"I need a favour," he panted, gasping for breath after every word.
"Sorry Boom, I'm busy."
"But Kat," Boom pleaded, finally getting his breath back, "The band's lead singer has got the flu and we got to practise the music for the competition, we need you to do the words of the song.
"You mean sing?" Kat exclaimed, shocked that he would ask her such a thing.
"Yes," Boom replied, shocked at the tone of her voice, "Please Kat, we need you."
"No Way Boom."
"You remember that favour you owe me."
"Forget about it Boom"
"When you were making the rangers morphers, you lost the most important thing in the lab."
"Shut up Boom," Kat almost shouted at this.
"Cruger was going to kill you when he found out and you were in a minor breakdown." Boom kept on.
"All right," Kat finally cracked at the persuading, "I will help."
"Thanks Kat." Boom smiled at her as she logged of from her computer and followed Boom out of her lab, they managed to walk to the music room without bumping into anyone and walked in. Hearing the door open the band looked up from their music sheets, they all saw Kat and smiled.
"So Boom," said a dark-haired man, "You were telling the truth, the great Kat Manx does indeed owe you a favour."
Kat smiled embarrassed at this sentence, something everyone but Boom noticed.
"Yeh told you so didn't I," answered Boom, smiling, "Anyway Kat, this is Carl," he pointed to the dark-haired man. "He does guitar, Jamie," he pointed to a blond haired man, "he's our male lead singer, Ben does piano," a man with long black hair tied back into a ponytail waved at her and Kat waved back, Boom then pointed at a dark-skinned girl with dreadlocks, "and this is Grace, she does drums and violin, Kate is the lead singer with the flu, band's name is S-Squad by the way, S means singing"
"Right," said Kat while she was memorising names with faces, "and you do all the wind instruments Boom?"
"That's right Kat," answered Boom, smiling, "it had been a bit of a shock to everyone when Kat had walked into her lab once to catch him playing on a flute.
"Nice to meet you all," Kat smiled at all the band; "I'm guessing I'm replacing Kate today?"
"Yep," Boom answered, "We are doing a piece called Reflection, and it will be a solo, we just need someone to do the words so we know the music is right."
"OK," Kat took the lyric sheet Carl gave her and looked around for a seat, but all she could see was a tall bar stool next to a row of lockers on the sidewall.
"That's all we got, we can't afford a proper seat," Boom said, noticing at what she was looking, "Cruger won't buy a proper one for us."
"Oh, ok," Kat walked to the stool and it more to the middle of the room and sat down on it, her feet resting on a higher up bar of the stool so her legs were in a proper seating position, she put the lyric sheet on her lap and looked up. Getting the message the rest of the band sat at their various instruments while Boom got a flute out of his locker and Grace got a violin out of hers. Grace sat in front of the drums while Boom was on another bar stool in the corner in front of a metal stand that held his music sheets.
Kat leaned forward and picked up her lyric sheet so it was half off her lap.
"Ready Kat?" came Boom's voice, Kat just looked up and nodded before looking at her sheet again, "OK 1, 2, 3."
On 3 both Carl and Grace started and a few seconds later Boom joined in, after Boom had done his bit, it was Kat's turn to start singing.
Kat:
Look at me
I will never pass for perfect bride
Or a perfect daughter
At this point the whole band looked up in surprise of Kat's voice but managed to keep going, they all silently agreed to each other that it was the best voice they had heard in a long time, even better then Kate's
Kat:
Can it be
I'm not meant to play this part?
Now I see
That if I were truly
To be myself
I would break my family's heart
During a small flute bit from Boom, Kat looked up to a mirror in front of her as she continued with the rest of the song
Kat:
Who is that girl I see
Staring straight
Back at me?
Why is my reflection someone
I don't know?
Somehow I cannot hide
Who I am
Though I've tried
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside?
When will my reflection show
Who I am inside.
After the music had stopped, Kat looked away from the mirror and towards the band that all had very impressed looks on their faces, she looked around for Boom, who had a identical look as the rest of the band, Kat smiled at him and he smiled back.
Half a hour later and a few more songs, Kat walked into her lab and logged back onto her computer, continuing work looking like nothing had happened.
A/N: Hope you like this chapter, there is going to be a song per chapter with the song name as the chapter name, I will have the next chapter up when I write it. Plz review and I won't mind some Story Alerts put on this.
I chose this song because I just love Lea Salonga's voice and that's what I imagine Kat's voice to be.
