Tracy/Franklin. Duets No. 9 I Wanna Be Where You Are is by Michael Jackson
I WANNA BE WHERE YOU ARE (TRACY & FRANKLIN)
"What's it like, being Adam Park's brother?" Tracy Partridge asked Franklin Park.
"Honestly? Since Jessica went to college in Denver, it's really kinda boring. It's always been the three of us, but I used to wish that I had the big family you have, with another brother and sister. But Dad says that with Adam and me being Rangers, he is not only happy there are only three of us, but he hopes Jess doesn't get into the hero business." Franklin sighed.
"Being part of a big family is no picnic at times, given Danny's antics. Thankfully, with Mom, Keith, Laurie, and Chris, the good usually outweighs the bad. How's Jess, by the way?" Tracy queried.
"Junior, and looking forward to graduating next year. She wants to get into computer photography, and start her own business, like Adam wants to get started with his own dojo. Me, I would just like to take some time and breathe, and just be 12 before deciding what to do with my life. How about you?" Franklin asked.
"Well, everyone expects me to follow in Keith & Laurie's footsteps…Chris is, but, like them, he loves to make music. I do too, but there's more to me than that. I would like to be an artist, either sculpture or a painter. There are other ways to be creative, and I would like to try one of those ways." Tracy smiled.
Franklin grinned. "Like Adam, Jess, and me, there's more to you than meets the eye."
"I prefer to stay out of the limelight. Keith, Laurie, and Chris used to love it, but these days prefer to just be creative. Danny, however, is a media hog, and always will be. Mom keeps our feet firmly on the ground, and I am glad of that. Anyway, I hope she and Bill get even closer together. I like the idea of him being our new Dad, I mean, we already see him that way." Tracy grinned at that thought.
"And…what about you and me?" Franklin asked her.
Tracy continued to grin as she spoke "Well, I definitely want to meet Jess, your Mom, and Dad, and I want to get to know you even better. How do you like Chicken salad? Because, until I learn to cook more things, it's the only thing I can make."
"That puts you one up on me, I can't make toast. Hey, you like Michael Jackson?" Franklin asked her.
"Who doesn't? But when, the Motown beginning of his career, or his megastar era?" Tracy asked.
"Motown era." Franklin then put "I Wanna Be Where You Are' on his portable.
Tracy grinned as the song played. "Great stuff. Who says our generation is stuck in Justin Bieber mode?"
"UGH! Don't get me started on him. Dishwater!" Franklin frowned.
"Give me someone who has talent and can sing! Ever hear Paul McCartney…without the Beatles?" Tracy asked.
"You kidding? I've got some of his solo stuff and with his other group, Wings. Tracy Partridge, I think this is the beginning of a beautiful friendship." Franklin smiled.
"HMMM, maybe more than that." Tracy smiled as she looked into Franklin's eyes and started to think about the future…
Can it be I stayed away too long?
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?
It's not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I'm at
You don't have to worry 'cause I'm coming
Back to where I should have always stayed
And now I've heard the meaning to your story
And it's enough love for me to stay
Can it be I stayed away too long?
Did I leave your mind when I was gone?
Well, it's not my thing trying to get back
But this time let me tell you where I'm at
I wanna, wanna be where you are, oh, oh
Anywhere you are, oh, oh
I wanna, wanna be where you are, oh, oh
Everywhere you are, oh, oh
Please don't close the door to our future
There's so many things we haven't tried
I could love you better than I used to
And give you all the love I have inside
I wanna, wanna be where you are, oh, oh
Any, any, anywhere you are, oh, oh
I wanna, wanna be where you are, oh, oh
I gotta, gotta be where you are, oh, oh
I wanna be, I wanna be, ohYeah, yeah, baby, now
I wanna be, I wanna be, oh, ooh
I wanna be, I wanna be, ohNa, na, yeah, yeah
I wanna be, I wanna be, oh
I wanna be, I wanna be, ohNa, na, baby
I wanna be, I wanna be, oh
I wanna be, I wanna be, ohOoh, ooh, baby
I wanna be, I wanna be, oh
I wanna be, I wanna be, ohYeah, yeah, baby, now

I wanna be, I wanna be, ohNa, na, yeah, yeah
I wanna be, I wanna be, oh
I wanna be, I wanna be, ohOoh, ooh, baby
I wanna be, I wanna be, oh
