The next day (Rangers' Day Off) Noon, JKP, Loft

"Oh! I almost forgot about our deal!" Jennifer exclaimed, as she took Theo's hand and led him to where the karaoke machine was.

Her hand feels so warm...Okay, I really need to stop thinking like that.

"Theo!" Jennifer yelled, taking the boy from his thoughts. The girl was wearing a pink Tinkerbell T-shirt and jean shorts, with her hair down. "Now that I have your attention, let me hear you sing."

"No way!" Theo answered defensively.

"If you wanna learn how to sing, then you have to let me hear your singing voice first. Come on! Please? For me?" Jennifer pleaded, putting on her best kitty-kat eyes and quivering her lower lip. Ha! Not even Daddy can resist the power of my kitty-kat eyes! Try to resist, Theo! Ha ha ha ha ha!

Oh, who could resist those eyes?! "Okay, okay! Fine, Jen." Theo sang horribly, but Jennifer was making mental notes on where the blue Ranger was to improve on, which was, basically, everything. Seriously, though, his voice would sound so cool and calm if he could just straighten it out! Ohhh, lookie! Hello, Challenge!

"Okay, Theo. Let's start with the basics. Do, re, mi, fa, so, la, ti" She instructed. "Your turn."

Theo tried, but sang horribly. His 'teacher' took a deep breath and said, "Okay, Theo. Try calming down and then sing. Clear your mind of everything but the lyrics. You can do this." Jennifer coaxed.

"If it'll help." Theo cleared his head, as directed, and then sang. This time, though, he sang the scale perfectly.

"That was perfect!" Jennifer complimented, huggung Theo tightly.

"Um, Jen? This is kinda awkward." But so good at the same time. Stop it, you idiot! Stop thinking of her that way!, he scolded himself mentally.

"Oh. Sorry." The Pink Ranger then let go of him. "I'm just so proud of you!" She then turned on the karoke machine. "Now that you have the technique, know any songs?" She asked, smirking, holding the mic in front of Theo.

"Okay." Theo agreed, taking the mic.

There's something about the way you look tonight
There's something about the way that I can't take my eyes off you
There's something about the way your lips invite
Maybe it's the way that I get nervous when your around
And I want you to be mine, and if you need a reason why

It's in the way that you move me, and the way that you tease Me
The way that I want you tonight
It's in the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
When I can't find the right words to say
You feel it in the way, you feel it in the way

There's something about how you stay on my mind
There's something about the way that
I whisper your name when I'm asleep
Oh, girl, maybe it's the look you get in your eyes

Oh, baby, it's the way that makes me feel to see you smile
And the reasons, they may change
But what I'm feeling stays the same

It's in the way that you move me, and the way that you tease me
The way that I want you tonight
It's in the way that you hold me
And the way that you know me
When I can't find the right words to say
You feel it in the way, you feel it in the way

I can't put my fingers on just what it is
That makes me love you, you baby
So don't ask me to describe, I get all choked up inside
Just thinking about the way

There's something about the way you look tonight
There's nothing more to say than I feel it in the way(1)

And I'd give up forever to touch you
'Cause I know that you feel me somehow
You're the closest to Heaven that I'll ever be
And I don't want to go home right now

And all I can taste is this moment
And all I can breathe is your life
'Cause sooner or later, it's over
I just don't want to miss you tonight

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

And you can't fight the tears that ain't coming
Or the moment of truth in your lies
When everything feels like the movies
Yeah, you bleed just to know you're alive

And I don't want the world to see me
'Cause I don't think that they'd understand
When everything's made to be broken
I just want you to know who I am

I just want you to know who I am
I just want you to know who
I am I just want you to know who I am(2)

I guess now it's time for me to give up, I feel it's time
Got a picture of you beside me
Got your lipstick mark still on your coffee cup
Got a fist of pure emotion , got a head of shattered dreams
Gotta leave it, gotta leave it, all behind now

Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong, just tell me the song, and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood, I want you back for good

Unaware, but underlined
I figured out the story, it wasn't good
But in the corner of my mind, I celebrated glory
But that was not to be
In the twist of separation, you excelled at being free
Can't you find a little room inside for me?

Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong, just tell me the song, and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood, I want you back for good

And we'll be together, this time is forever
We'll be fighting and forever
We will be so complete in our love
We will never be uncovered again

Whatever I said, whatever I did, I didn't mean it
I just want you back for good
Whenever I'm wrong, just tell me the song, and I'll sing it
You'll be right and understood, I want you back for good(3)

Oceans apart day after day, and I slowly go insane
I hear your voice on the line, but it doesn't stop the pain
If I see you next to never, how can we say forever?

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you

I took for granted all the times
That I thought would last somehow
I hear the laughter, I taste the tears
But I can't get near you now

Oh, can't you see it, baby?
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks I will be right here waiting for you

I wonder how we can survive this romance
But, in the end, if
I'm with you, I'll take the chance
Oh, can't you see it, baby?
You've got me goin' crazy

Wherever you go, whatever you do
I will be right here waiting for you
Whatever it takes, or how my heart breaks
I will be right here waiting for you(4)

I could stay awake just to hear you breathing
Watch you smile while you are sleeping
While you're far away and dreaming
I could spend my life in this sweet surrender
I could stay lost in this moment forever
Well, every moment spent with you is a moment I treasure

I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe, and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do, I'd still miss you, babe
And I don't wanna miss a thing

Lying close to you, feeling your heart beating
And I'm wondering what you're dreaming
Wondering if it's me you're seeing
Then I kiss your eyes and thank God we're together
And I just wanna stay with you
In this moment forever, forever and ever

I don't wanna miss one smile, I don't wanna miss one kiss
Well, I just wanna be with you
Right here with you, just like this
I just wanna hold you close, feel your heart so close to mine
And stay here in this moment for all the rest of time

Don't wanna close my eyes, don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe, and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
'Cause I'd still miss you, babe, and I don't wanna miss a thing

I don't wanna close my eyes, I don't wanna fall asleep
'Cause I'd miss you, babe, and I don't wanna miss a thing
'Cause even when I dream of you
The sweetest dream will never do
I'd still miss you, babe, and I don't wanna miss a thing

Don't wanna close my eyes, don't wanna fall asleep, yeah, I don't wanna miss a thing(5)

"That was way cool, Theo!" You're a natural!" Jennifer complimented, while Theo bowed.

"Thank you, thank you, thank you! Now, for our second finalist, we have Ms. Jennifer Avalon!" Theo said, with a small grin.

"Wow, Theo." Jennifer said, taking the mic from the said Ranger.

Closed off from love, I didn't need the pain
Once or twice was enough, and it was all in vain
Time starts to pass, before you know, it you're frozen

But something happened for the very first time with you
My heart melts into the ground, found something true
And everyone's looking round, thinking I'm going crazy

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding, love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding, love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding, love
You cut me open

Trying hard not to hear, but they talk so loud
Their piercing sounds fill my ears, try to fill me with doubt
Yet I know that the goal is to keep me from falling

But nothing's greater
Than the rush that comes with your embrace
And in this world of loneliness, I see your face
Yet everyone around me
Thinks that I'm going crazy, maybe, maybe

But I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein, that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding, love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding, love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding, love
You cut me open

And it's draining all of me, oh, they find it hard to believe
I'll be wearing these scars for everyone to see

I don't care what they say, I'm in love with you
They try to pull me away, but they don't know the truth
My heart's crippled by the vein that I keep on closing
You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding, love
I keep bleeding, I keep, keep bleeding, love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding, love You cut me open and I

Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding, love
I keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding, love
Keep bleeding, keep, keep bleeding, love
You cut me open and I keep bleeding
Keep, keep bleeding, love(6)

Right now, he's probably slow dancin'
With a bleached-blond tramp and she's probably getting frisky
Right now, he's probably buying her
Some fruity little drink, 'cause she can't shoot whiskey
Right now, he's probably up behind her
With a pool-stick, showin' her how to shoot a combo
And he don't know

I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe, next time, he'll think before he cheats

Right now, she's probably up singin'
Some white-trash version of Shania karaoke
Right now, she's probably sayin'
"I'm drunk" and he's a thinkin' that he's gonna get lucky
Right now, he's probably dabbin' on
Three dollars worth of that bathroom colone
Oh, and he don't know, oh

I might have saved a little trouble for the next girl
'Cause the next time that he cheats
Oh, you know it won't be on me
No, not on me

'Cause I dug my key into the side
Of his pretty little souped-up four-wheel drive
Carved my name into his leather seats
I took a Louisville slugger to both headlights
Slashed a hole in all four tires
Maybe, next time, he'll think before he cheats
Maybe next time he'll think, before he cheats
Oh, before he cheats, oh(7)

Perfect by nature, icons of self indulgence
Just what we all need, more lies about a world that
Never was and never will be
Have you no shame? Don't you see me?
You know you've got everybody fooled

Look, here she comes now, bow down and stare in wonder
Oh, how we love you, no flaws when you're pretending
But, now, I know she never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

Without the mask, where will you hide?
Can't find yourself, lost in your lie
I know the truth now, I know who you are
And I don't love you anymore, it never was and never will be
You don't know how you've betrayed me
And somehow you've got everybody fooled

It never was and never will be
You're not real and you can't save me
Somehow, now, you're everybody's fool(8)

Head underwater
And they tell me to breathe easy for a while
The breathing gets harder, even I know that
You made room for me, but it's too soon to see
If I'm happy in your hands

I'm unusually hard to hold on to
Blank stares at blank pages, no easy way to say this
You mean well, but you make this hard on me

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it, 'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song 'cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this

If you're on your way, I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving, I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

I learned the hard way
That they all say things you want to hear
And my heavy heart sinks deep, down under you and
Your twisted words, your help just hurts
You are not what I thought you were

Hello to high and dry, convinced me to please you
Made me think that I need this too
I'm trying to let you hear me as I am

I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it, 'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song, 'cause you tell me it's
Make or breaking this

If you're on your way, I'm not gonna write you to stay
If all you have is leaving, I'm gonna need a better
Reason to write you a love song today

Promise me that you'll leave the light on
To help me see with daylight, my guide, gone
'Cause I believe there's a way you can love me
Because I say

I won't write you a love song
'Cause you asked for it, 'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this

Is that why you wanted a love song?
'Cause you asked for it, 'cause you need one, you see
I'm not gonna write you a love song
'Cause you tell me it's make or breaking this

If you're on your way, I'm not gonna write you to stay
If your heart is nowhere in it, I don't want it for a minute
Babe, I'll walk the seven seas, when I believe that
There's a reason to write you a love song today, today(9)

"Now, that rocks." Theo said, after the girl was done singing.

"You're not so bad yourself." She countered. Her eyes twinkled at the thought of an idea. She got another mic and handed one to Theo. "Hey, know any duets?"

Tell me, how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
If I should die before I wake
It's 'cause you took my breath away
Losing you is like living in a world without no air, oh

I'm here alone, didn't wanna leave
My heart won't move, it's incomplete
Is there another way I can make you understand?

But how do you expect me to live alone with just me?
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me, how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breathe, with no air
That's how I feel when I know you ain't there
There's no air, no air

Got me out here, in the water so deep
Tell me, how you gon' be here without me?
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
There's no air, no air
No air, air, no air, air

I walked, I ran, I jumped, I flew
I took right off the ground to float to you
There's no gravity to hold me down, for real
But, somehow I'm still alive inside
You took my breath, but I survived

I don't know how, but I don't even care
So, how do you expect me to live alone with just me?
'Cause my world revolves around you
It's so hard for me to breathe

Tell me, how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breathe, with no air
That's how I feel when i know you ain't there
There's no air, no air

Got me here, out in the water so deep
Tell me how you gon' be here without me?
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
There's no air, no air No air, air, no air, air

Tell me, how I'm supposed to breathe with no air?
Can't live, can't breathe with no air
That's how I feel when I know you ain't there
There's no air, no air

Got me out here, in the water so deep
Tell me, how you gon' be here without me?
If you ain't here I just can't breathe
There's no air, no air
No air, air, no air, air

Got me here, out in the water so deep
Tell me, how you gon' be here without me?
If you ain't here, I just can't breathe
There's no air, no air
No air, air, no air, air (10)

That's much I love you, that's how much I need you
And I can't stand you
Must everything you do make me wanna smile?
Can I not like you for awhile? (No)

But you won't let me, you upset me girl
And then you kiss my lips
All of a sudden I forget that I was upset
Can't remember what you did
But I hate it
You know exactly what to do so that I can't stay mad at you
For too long, that's wrong

But I hate it
You know exactly how to touch
So that I don't wanna fuss and fight no more
Said I despise that I adore you

And I hate how much I love you boy
I can't stand how much I need you
And I hate how much I love you boy
But I just can't let you go, and I hate that I love you so

And you completely know the power that you have
The only one that makes me laugh
Said and it's not fair how you
Take advantage of the fact
That I love you beyond a reason why
And it just ain't right

And I hate how much I love you girl
I can't stand how much I need you
And I hate how much I love you girl
But I just can't let you go, and I hate that I love you so

One of these days maybe your magic won't affect me
And your kiss won't make me weak
But no one in this world knows me the way you know me
So you'll probably always have a spell on me

That's much I love you, that's much I need you
That's much I need you, that's much I love you
That's much I need you
And I hate that I love you so

And I hate how much I love you boy
I can't stand how much I need you
And I hate how much I love you boy
But I just can't let you go
And I hate that I love you so
And I hate that I love you so, so (11)

Downstairs, Casey and Lily

"Sounds like Jen and Theo are having fun." Lily commented.

"Yeah." Casey answered, somewhat absent-mindedly. "Hey - wanna go to the park and get your butt kicked at every sport you can think of?" Casey asked, a huge smirk on his face.

"You are so on." Lily said, as she grabbed Casey's hand and ran to the park.

Rangers' Bedroom 7:45 p.m.

"Oh, I am beat!" Lily asid, slumping on her bed, wearing her Pai Zhauq sweats and a yellow tank. "Casey beat me at everything: basketball, baseball, badminton, darts, tennis, ping-pong, football - everything." She told Jennifer. "You know, some people even told us we look cute together! Heck, they even asked if we were going out!"

"Imagine that." Jennifer said, giggling. "I mean, you don't even like Casey. In fact, you hate him."

"No, it's not that! I like Casey!" She then gasped, as she noticed what she had just said.

"HA! I knew it! You like Casey, you like Casey!" She said, in a sing-song voice.

Lily put her hand over the girl's mouth. "Don't!" She whispered, frantically. "Come on, Jen. Swear you won't tell anyone."

"Mhhh-mmmhh." Came a muffeld reply. Lily let go of her friend. "Okay, okay. I won't tell."

"Thank you."

"Hey, it's not like I have much of a choice, do I?" Jennifer then walked out of the room, with thoughts of how to get the Red and Yellow Rangers together.
