Shayera/Katar. Duets 21. You Don't Have To Go Home Tonight is by the Triplets
YOU DON"T HAVE TO GO HOME TONIGHT (SHAYERA & KATAR)
Katar Hol had been wondering about his unique situation. He and his partner, Shayera Thal, had been growing closer and closer since coming to Earth in pursuit of Byth 10 years ago. Both tried to maintain a professional distance…but time and constantly working together ended that idea. Being in the Justice League made that even more impossible. And on this day, with Wonder Woman & Power Ranger Zack Taylor, Power Rangers Kimberly Hart-Oliver & Tommy Oliver, Trini Kwan & Billy Cranston, Power Angel Jill Munroe and Green Lantern Hal Jordan…it just kept getting bigger from there. The one that really surprised him was Power Angel Kelly Garrett and Batman Bruce Wayne.
"I never…in my wildest dreams…" he said to himself. He was at his partner's apartment doorstep. Originally they were just planning on wrapping up a case they were working on…but, these days, given their…new…feelings towards each other…
Shayera Thal opened the door. "Hey, peacock, come in." She had a huge smile on her face, and the voice was definitely warm and inviting.
"Hey yourself. How about a movie after we take care of this Byth business?"
"Sounds great to me. In fact…" Shayera showed him the photos she had taken of Byth. With these, they had him nailed to the wall.
"Great, Now we can use the rest of this night for…better things." Katar smiled.
That evening turned magical for both Thanagarians. Fantastic steak dinner, movie, a flight around Midway City…both Katar & Shayera were caught up in the magic of Valentine's Day. Shayera seemed to be especially…enraptured…this evening.
When they came back to Shayera's apartment, neither wanted evening to end. Katar then did something unexpected for him. He took Shayera's face in his hands…and gave her a slow, gentle kiss.
"I was wondering when we were going to do this." Shayera giggled.
Katar smiled. "I'd better…" he started.
The Triplets 'You Don't Have To Go Home Tonight' began to play right then. Coyly, Shayera then said "This song makes a lot of sense. Come on in."
Katar smiled. "Shayera…I…"
Shayera knew he was about to say 'I love you.' She then kissed him right there. "Me too." She finished, then took his hand, and led him inside.
Smiling, Katar didn't try to resist as he went in with her.
The door then closed…
I'm over my head, I'm in too deep You don't have to go home tonight There's a cool breeze blowing, and the curtains swaying You don't have to go home tonight There's no hurry, I only want this moment You don't have to go home tonight You don't have to go home tonight I'm over my head, I'm in too deep
The hours getting late and it's time to leave
I'm missing you before you're gone
Don't understand what's in my heart
I look at you and don't know where to start
Should I let it show that something's changing
'Cause it's feeling so right that I hear myself saying
Stay until the light of day
Keep this fire alive
Lay your heart next to mine
You don't have to go home tonight
So hard to go our separate ways
So stay right here
You don't have to go
I kiss your lips and you touch my face
Is this real or am I dreaming
I wonder what you're thinkin', I can't tell
If it's about tomorrow It'll fix itself
'Cause I don't want to lose this feeling
When I look in your eyes I hear myself saying
Stay until the light of day
Keep this fire alive
Lay your heart next to mine
You don't have to go home tonight
So hard to go our separate ways
So baby stay right here
You don't have to go
Want this moment to last
If you believe in love the same way I do
Maybe this is our chance
You don't have to go
It's so hard to go our separate ways
So baby stay right here
You don't have to go home tonight
Stay until the light of day
The hour's getting late and it's time to leave (You don't have to go home tonight)
There's a cool breeze blowing and the curtains swaying
I kiss your lips and you touch my face (You don't have to go home tonight)
Conclusion: I WON'T LAST A DAY WITHOUT YOU (LOIS & CLARK)
