Chapter 26
"Trini, this is so awesome!" Kim said as she danced around the karaoke machine that Trini had designed.
It had all six of the original rangers on it with their zords. The machine itself was in the shape of the viewing globe. Kim was surprised that Trini had not built this herself.
She had built other stuff for the rangers. She had rebuilt Kim's Vet. Kim had told her once that she wanted a '69 Cherry Red Corvette. Trini had unveiled her for her on her last birthday. Trini was also working on a car for Jason. He wanted a '69 Dodge Charger. He said that it was a testament to his love for the Dukes of Hazzard TV show.
Kim jumped over to Trini and hugged her tight. Everyone else had finally come in and they all started shouting. Rocky wanted to go first while the Dinos were trying to figure out what it was in the shape of.
"It's the exact replica of our viewing globe. Alpha and Zordon had always projected the latest attack on the viewing globe in our Command Center." Adam explained since Rocky was fighting with Jason over who went first.
Jason thought that Kim should go first since she could actually sing but Rocky felt that he should go first to set the mood. Jason asked him what mood he wanted to set but Rocky didn't answer.
"Hey guys break it up. I designed it so I get to say who sings first and I want it to be a duet." Trini said as she stepped between her husband and Rocky.
"Who is singing the duet?" Kira asked as she came to stand in front of Trini.
"Kim and Tommy." Trini said as everyone looked to the couple of the moment.
"No, Trini I don't sing. Let Rocky sing with her." Tommy said as he shook his head no.
"I will not sing with her. She would kill my mood." Rocky protested. He received a punched in the shoulder from Zack.
"No, Tommy you will sing with Kim. I already have the songs loaded and the one I wanted ya'll to sing is first." Trini said as she handed them the mics. S
he moved everyone to Tommy's couches and made sure that everyone was seated before she took the remote and hit the power button to fire it up. The viewing globe lit up and she hit play for them to begin. The words were projected inside the globe. The music started and Kim and Tommy faced the globe and started to sing.
Cause I'm broken when I'm lonesome
And I don't feel right when you're gone away
You've gone away, you don't feel me here, anymore
Jason was wondering how his wife had known that Tommy could sing. He didn't even know that.
The worst is over now
And we can breathe again
I wanna hold you high, you steal my pain away
There's so much left to learn
And no one left to fight
I wanna hold you high and steal your painKat was smiling because for the first time she was hearing Kim sing. She knew that she could she had just never heard her.
Once the last note faded, everyone erupted into cheering. They couldn't believe that Tommy could sing. His voice was good with hers. Everyone knew that Kim could sing but only a few of them actually knew that Tommy could.
Trini was one of those people who knew. She had found out on accident. She had come to see him when Kim had written him that letter. His parents had let her in and she walked down the hall and heard Tommy singing. He was playing a guitar and crying.
She backed out of the doorway and knocked on the frame. He wiped his eyes and the set the guitar down. Both of them had gone on from that day not mentioning the fact that Tommy was crying and singing.
"Good job, guys. Now Zack you should go next." Trini ordered as Tommy and Kim sat down on the floor since there was not enough room for both of them to sit beside each other.
"Kay, Tri. You know what song I'm singing?" Zack asked as he got up and grabbed a mic. He was smiling at everyone because he liked performing for people. He knew that Trini would make him sing even if he didn't want to.
"Yea, but it is a surprise for you. Go on." Trini said as hit the play button again. She knew that Zack could sing this song. He had sung it at her wedding. It was actually the only song that Jason and she had agreed on.
When a man loves a woman
Can't keep his mind on nothing else
He'll trade the world
For the good thing he's found
When a man loves a woman...
Zack bowed as he finished with the last note. He was smiling as he came back to take his place once again. Everyone looked to Trini to see who she let sing next. She nodded to Rocky then. She grinned at Jason to let him know that she had a treat for him. He was smiling in anticipation for the song that she had picked out for Rocky.
"I'm ready hit it Trini." Rocky said as he got the mic and waited for the words to appear. As the words came up Rocky just looked at Jason and smiled. He was doing this song no matter what. He wanted to sing this just for Jason.
I come home in the morning light
My mother says when you gonna live your life right
Oh mother dear we're not the fortunate ones
And girls they want to have fun
Oh girls just want to have fun
Rocky had danced while he sang. He had made it to Jason and danced the last of the song for Jason. He had sung it in a very high voice. He knew that Trini had picked this because of Jason's ring tone for him. Everyone laughed when the song ended. They all clapped for Rocky even though they were laughing at the same time.
"Thanks, Tri. I mean you could have had Jase up there with me. It would have been very meaningful for me." Rocky as he laughed aloud. He sat next to Jase and kissed his cheek as Jason shot up like he had a bolt of lightning go through him.
Tommy laughed so hard that he fell over and took Kim with him. She reached back and hit Jason in the leg and Rocky in the stomach. Trini stood up to calm everyone down.
"Hush everyone. Okay the next person to sing is Kim." Trini said as she sat back down. She had picked out this song just for Kim.
"Tri, I've already sang. Let someone else." Kim whined. She just wanted to hear everyone else but Trini was boss right now.
"No, you. Get up there pinky." Trini ordered the Original Pink. Kim got up and went back to the mic. She knew that Trini would make her anyway.

"Zedd, what are you doing about the rangers?" Rita asked her husband. She was still grieved over her warrior being destroyed. She hoped that Zedd would charge in and destroyed those rangers right now but he didn't.
"I am not involving you in my planning. You will tell that idiot bother of yours. I will deal with them in my own time. First, I need to deal with that Mesogogg creature. He is trying to do my work. I also sense that he is not all evil. There is a part of him that is as good as those rangers. I will deal with him first then onto those rangers." Zedd said as he stomped out of the throne room.
He knew that this Mesogogg would not defeat those rangers, that was his job. He had waited too long for someone to step in and do it now.

"Zordon, I sense movement on the moon." Alpha said as he turned back to Zordon.
"It is Zedd and Rita. Tommy and Kim destroyed Goldar earlier. Their powers are growing stronger. The other rangers with them now are fueling their powers. They get their strength from their friends." Zordon told Alpha. He wanted to see his rangers in person but he would have to wait until Zedd, Rita, and Mesogogg had been dealt with. He could not risk being seen.
"When are we going to see them?" Alpha asked him. He wanted to see them because it had been too long since he had seen the first rangers.
"When they have taken care of the evil that threatens them. We will see them again Alpha don't worry." Zordon said as he walked off.

"Come on Kim, sing." Tommy said. He wanted to hear her sing face-to-face. He needed to feel her emotions as she sang.
"Fine, hit the button Trini." Kim said. She was ready because she knew that Trini would have had a great song for her.
How did I get here
I turned around and there you were
Didn't think twice or rationalize
Cause somehow I knew
That there was more that just chemistry
I mean I knew you were kind of into me
But I figured it's too good to be true
Kim knew that Trini had put music to her words. It was even better with the music she had chosen. Kim smiled at Trini because she knew that Kim had written this when she first met Tommy even though no one had known it. Trini wanted her to sing it for her wedding but she told Trini that it was not right for her and Jason. Trini had finally agreed but she did get the lyrics so she could add the music. Kim knew that Zack had helped Trini with it.
Kim thought back to the first time she knew that she loved Tommy. It was in a blink of an eye. She also knew the moment that Tommy had given in to his feelings. It was their first kiss. She looked back to Tommy and sang the next line to Tommy.
You're making me laugh about the silliest stuff
Say that I'm your diamond in the rough
When I'm mad at you, you come with your velvet touch
Jason smiled and hugged his wife. He knew that Kim had wrote this when she starting falling for Tommy. He also knew that he had seen it coming for a while. He had fought it but then Trini sat him down and explained that he would have to let Kim go and that Tommy would never hurt her as someone else might. She told him that Kim and Tommy would have an honest relationship because they could talk about being rangers. Jason admitted that Kim had chosen well with Tommy. He looked at his wife and knew that he had chosen well with Trini.
Kira was smiling because she knew that what she felt for Connor was the same that Kim felt for Tommy or that Trini felt for Jason, or what Tanya felt for Adam. She looked to Connor and knew that she would have to tell him how she felt. She only hoped that he felt the same way.
The Dinos were shocked. They didn't think that Kim could sing that well. Connor had been feeling great while Kim sang. He knew that it was almost time for him to tell Kira how he felt. He wanted to do it tomorrow maybe by the lake. It would be perfect as long as Mesogogg didn't show up.
"Good job, Kim. I knew that you would like that song." Trini said as she grabbed Jason's hand to come with her. She wanted everyone to know that he could sing too. Kim was the only one that actually knew because they had sung together when they were younger.
"Tri, no. I can't do this." Jason said as he tried to pull away but Trini wouldn't let him go.
"No, hon and anyway I do have an announcement for everyone." Trini said as she winked at Kim. Aisha and Tanya also grinned because they knew what was coming.
