Disclaimer: Power Rangers are owned by Disney and all the songs I use is owned by their writers, singer etc. I think I own the band members though.
Over the next couple of days Kat couldn't concentrate as much on her work, her mind continually going back to the time with the S-Squad, the working part of her regretted even singing while the rest of her wanted to do it again. Grumm's monsters had decided to have a comeback so the D.B.D.S was on hold while she had to do more important things, such as keeping the rangers zords and weapons in top condition. Trying her best to concentrate on the work she needed to do, she slowly started the reconfiguration of the zords.
During this Boom came in looking very depressed, though Kat did not notice this because she was finally able to focus on something and wanted to keep it like that for as long as possible. It wasn't until Kat heard a depressed sign did she look up.
"Boom, what's wrong?" she asked, feeling very concerned towards her trusty assistant.
"Kate's flu is worst then we thought," Boom answered, "and Jamie has gone and caught it from her as well."
"Oh ouch," Kat mentally winced at the realization of the bad luck the band had, "Let me guess, no replacement singers?"
"Well we got a male replacement, it's the female one we haven't got, Grace doesn't sing, we need a female singer otherwise we can't do the competition next week."
At these words, both sides of Kat's mind began fighting, one part wanted to say that she wanted to do it while the working part, which she dubbed her inner Cruger, told her to keep her mouth shut because she needed to do work. Finally one side won
"Well," she said slowly while Boom looked at her hopefully, "If you want me to, and if you ask really nicely, I will sing in the competition for you."
Boom's grin was so as big as he could get it, "Please can you replace Kate for the competition please Kat?" he asked in a pleading tone that he thought would comply with Kat's request of asking really nicely.
"Sure, Boom I will, but please make sure that no one but the band members know OK."
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" Boom burst out, rushing over to Kat he hugged her, whipped her off her chair and span her around while still in the hug.
"No problem Boom, now put me down!" Kat cried and a second later she felt her feet touch the ground and Boom let go of her.
"Sorry." He sheepishly said
"Don't worry about it," Kat stumbled back onto her seat, "Didn't know you could be that strong."
Boom grinned at his. "Carrying all the boxes of equipment we need for our projects does that to you, anyway I got to find everyone and say that the competition is back on, I'll tell you when practise is when I find out."
"I'll look forward to it."
"Thanks again Kat." He hugged her again before practically skipping out of the lab to find his fellow band-members, Kat turned back to her computer and began work again, after 10 minutes she had finishing working on every zord that was in the SPD base, just as she was thinking on what to do next, Doggie Cruger came into the lab.
"You done the zords already? You said you would start them half-hour ago and it normally takes you a hour."
"Really, I must be getting quicker at doing it then Doggie" Kat replied "Anyway I better get on with some D.B.D.S."
"Yes, that would be a good idea Kat."
"Sure is a pain in the butt though," she said bitterly, "Even for a genius like me, what I need is some cyborg turned good with the programming to complete this quickly!"
Doggie snorted, "Wishful thinking Kat."
A few hours later she managed to get a good bit of the D.B.D.S done and was just wondering where the hell Boom was when she heard him running up the corridor.
"Kat," he gasped, Kat sighed, he still hadn't learnt that he could just walk to her, "If your able to make it, practise can be now."
"Good, I could do with a break," Kat answered while she saved the work she had done and logged off to stop unwelcome people accessing it.
"Perfect," he raised a mobile to his ear and spoke into it, "She said she can make it guys, meet us in the music room."
"Come on Boom lets go," Kat was standing next to him, a big grin on her face, they walked to the music room making sure not to pass the command centre or the common room because she didn't really know how to explain that she was going somewhere with Boom when she was supposed to be working on the new D.B.D.S system.
The second she entered the music room she had her vision blocked by a lot of hair as Grace, Ben and Carl hugged her.
"Thank you so much, Dr Manx" Grace said, as they all let go of her.
"No problem, but please call me Kat, and don't tell anyone please, they would probably try and get me to sing in the command centre to see how good I am."
"Deal, Kat"
"So," Kat continued, "I have been wondering this since I said I will sing, who's replacing Jamie?"
"That would be me," said a voice behind her, belonging to Boom.
Kat span around, shocked as the day she had walked in on Boom playing the flute, "You sing!" Boom just nodded, "Cool, at least I will be singing with someone I have known for quite a while, no offence guys."
"None taken," Ben said, "OK the solo female part of the contest has been cancelled so Reflection is out, but we still got the male and female duet, which will be the song we are doing, it will be the only one we take part in."
"Here is the lyric sheet," Boom continued with the explaining, "Only got one though so we will have to share."
"No problems, Lets get cracking guys."
So while Boom and Kat dragged the bar stools into the middle and sat on them, Grace got drumsticks out of her locker and sat down at the drums while Ben sat at his piano and Ben was on another bar stool with his guitar.
"Ready guys," Ben called out, everyone called back a yes and after Ben said 3, he started on the piano and after a few seconds Boom started singing, Kat didn't know he could sing but was pleasantly surprised when she saw that he was a good singer. After Boom's part it was Kat's turn and slowly they really got into the song, they practised for at least a hour on the same song, with time flying by real quickly for all of them.
After that they practised every day until the day of the competition came.
On the day of the competition, Boom helped Kat finish her work quicker then normal before she rushed to get changed into normal clothes before getting into a van which dove them a couple of blocks to the hall where it was taking place, signing in, they did a quick stage practise before going to have a drink to calm their nerves, after about a 20 minutes waiting it was their turn to perform as the second act, Grace, Ben and Carl went on stage while Kat and Boom stood behind the curtains, holding microphones, ready to reveal themselves when it was time to start singing, feeling nervous, both looked at each other and smiled at each other at the same time.
Meanwhile, Doggie and Rangers were wondering where the hell Kat was, all of them were in the command centre reporting that they couldn't find her anywhere.
"We can't ask Boom," Bridge was saying, "He's gone to that competition with that band of his."
At that point two D-squad cadets walked past
"Too bad Kate has got the flu," the female one of the pair were saying, "Being the lead singer of that band, S-Squad, they couldn't go in that competition, band was well sad about it."
"Yeh," the another one, a man, was saying, "Jamie caught flu from her too, he's the lead singer as well, he felt really guilty."
As soon as the two had gone out of earshot all the rangers went to the view screen and managed to get a perfect view of the stage of the competition from the screen.
"And now, this band has gone though a lot of trouble and bad luck to get here tonight, two of the lead singers caught the flu and is currently unable to sing, almost forcing this band to pull out, but they managed to get two replacement singers, so without further ado, singing 'Start of something new' it's S-Squad!"
The audience applauded and after they had calmed down a bit Ben started with the piano. After about 10 seconds of playing, Boom came out from behind the curtain and started singing while walking to the left corner of the stage
Boom:
Living in my own world
Didn't understand
That anything can happen
When you take a chance.
Back in the SPD base, everyone in the command centre was standing shocked at the sight of Boom singing, and also just as shocked that he could sing. After Boom had done his part Kat stepped out from behind the curtain and sang her bit while walking to the right corner of the stage opposite Boom
Kat:
I never believed in
What I couldn't see
I never opened my heart
To all the possibilities
The second Kat was on stage, Doggie and the Rangers mouths fell open, completely gob smacked at the sight of Kat singing and that she was doing the competition, after about 10 seconds they realised that their mouths were open and closed them and stared at the screen watching Kat and Boom sing
Both:
I know
Kat:
That something has changed
Both:
Never felt this way
Kat:
And right here tonight
Both:
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Boom:
Now who'd of ever thought that
Both:
We'd both be here tonight
At that the faced each other and started to walk each other while still singing
Kat:
And the world looks so much brighter
Both:
With you by my side
They reached each other and turned back to the audience standing next to each other.
Both:
I know something has changed
Never felt this way
I know it for real
This could be the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
The start of something new
Boom:
I never knew it could happen
Till it happened to me
Both:
I didn't know it before
But now it's easy to see
It's the start
Of something new
It's feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
They turned slightly away from each other to face the audience on the sides of the hall.
Both:
That it's the start
Of something new
It feels so right
To be here with you
And now looking in your eyes
I feel in my heart
They turned mostly to each other and held hand, everyone in the command centre was slightly surprised they did this, but everyone except Doggie was too busy cheering them on to say anything about it.
Kat:
The start of something new
Boom:
The start of something new
Both:
Start of something new
The band stopped playing at soon as both of them stopped singing and the audience went on their feet, cheering and clapping at the group on the stage in front of them, Kat and Boom lowered their microphones and let go of each others hands, grinning at each other at a job well done, doing a quick bow to the audience, the whole band left the stage where Kat was the target of a group hug in the side wings.
Meanwhile back in the SPD base, everyone managed to get over the shock of seeing them sing and during the last part of the song began cheering them on, with the exception of Doggie, after the song ended the rangers had their hands in the air clapping, and almost hitting Doggie's stout, and cheering while Doggie was clapping impressed.
About two hours later, all the bands had played and it was getting very late, all the bands stepped on stage to find the commenter standing next to 3 trophies, bronze, silver and gold.
"Ok Ladies and Gentlemen, it is time for the prize giving." Called the commenter though his microphone, at this everyone in the command centre looked up and to the screen, they had been bored waiting to where S-Squad came in.
"In third place is," he did an annoying dramatic pause here, "Girlz, with their song 'Sisters' well done girls."
A girl band near the middle of the line of bands started cheering and hugging each other as the lead singer ran to collect her trophy, closely followed by her band mates, while the rest of the bands politely clapped at their success. After they had calmed down they stood on the left hand corner of the stage.
"OK, now in second place is," the commenter continued with another pause, at this S-Squad grabbed each other wrists and waited, "The rocking Goths, with the song 'Going Under' well done you lot."
A band in black clothes and wild hair near the end cheered, the two girls in the band screamed and hugged while the boys shouted "YES!" and thumped the air above their heads. After collecting their silver trophy they stood on the right hand corner of the stage.
"And finally the gold trophy," he continued, back in base everyone was getting nervous, it was S-Squads last chance to get something, grabbing each others wrists they waited for the name of the band to be called out.
"The winner is," this time was a slightly longer pause, "S-Squad with the song 'Start of something new' Congratulations, come up here and collect your trophy."
As soon as their name was called out, they all started cheering and Boom hugged Kat and whipped her off her feet in a spinning hug that she returned, after a quick group hug they ran to get the trophy, which Boom got given, but he gave it to Kat next to him and she lifted it into the air while the crowd cheered at the winners. Meanwhile back in base the Rangers was cheering and shouting "THEY WON!" while Doggie just clapped.
"OK," Doggie called after they had all calmed down, "Everyone bed, and please don't question Kat about it until the morning, I don't think she wanted us to know."
"Yes sir!" and the rangers departed, but Syd and Z had other ideas, they had seen the hug Boom and Kat had and stayed up, looking out their bedroom window the group to come home.
A/N: Woot they won, but what story would not have let them win! It's a big long (2,562 word to be exact) but hopefully it's still good, next chapter won't be for a few days because I got college tomorrow and I won't have access to the internet.
Anyway I picked 'Start of something new' because I love the song and it worked for high school musical didn't it?
If you have read it before and you think it's been changed, it's because it has been changed, I had a urge to proofread it again and found some mistakes I have fixed, hopefully it completly fine now.
