DISCLAIMER: Kimberly Hart, Zack Taylor, and the rest of the Power Rangers aren't mine. Saban has 'em. I Hear A Symphony and Stoned Love are the property of Diana Ross & the Supremes. That's all she wrote, folks.

I HEAR A SYMPHONY/STONED LOVE
by C.A. TURNER

Classic Motown was playing in Trini Kwan's dormroom, the one she shared with Kimberly Hart, her childhood friend. Kim was a nervous wreck, because she was getting ready for a date with another childhood friend, Zack Taylor. A romance had since blossomed, and Trini sometimes wondered to herself -What in the world took these two so long to get together?-

Kim, for the most part, was changing outfits with lightning speed, and coming out every 5 minutes, asking Trini if Zack would like it.

"Kimberly, calm down! You're talking about a guy who's known you since Kindergarten. He's dating you, not your outfit!" Trini told her.

At this point, a song came on by the Supremes. It seemed to calm Kim down, and help her get into her upcoming date. To Kim, it fit their relationship.

You've given me a true love,                                                                                                                                                           And every day I thank you love,                                                                                                                                                   For giving back so new,                                                                                                                                                                    So inspiring, so inviting.                                                                                                                                                         Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony,                                                                                                                                         A tender melody, pulling me closer, closer to your arms,                                                                                                                  And suddenly(I hear a symphony) your lips are touching mine,                                                                                                      I'm feeling so divine, 'til I leave the past behind                                                                                                                           I'm lost in a world made for you and me.

Kim grinned, and decided on a outfit. "This night is gonna be great!" the former Pink Ranger squealed

Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony,                                                                                                                                  play sweet and tenderly, every time your lips meet mine, now baby,                                                                                                you bring a joy within, don't let this feeling end, let it go on and on and on, my baby.

Outside at the restaurant, Zack & Kimberly decided to dine under the stars, and simply enjoy each other's company. Zack looked deep into Kim's eyes, and smiled softly. Kim grinned. "What's up?" she asked.

"All the time I've known you, any and all songs by Diana Ross & the Supremes play in my head. They tend to be some of my faves."

"Mine too. Zack, I want to be with you for the rest of my life, but I can't help but wonder how Tommy feels about this."

"I feel the same about Angela. I hear she and Shawn are together now. Kinda get the feeling they deserve each other."

"Shawn? That's the guy who gave Tanya nothing but grief when she went out with him. But, then again, maybe he's changed. Speaking of change, let's do that with this subject. Ready for the concert?" Kim asked.

"You bet, I can't wait! The Supremes reuniting! Let's book!" an excited Zack shouted.

Those tears that fill my eyes; I cry not for myself                                                                                                                          But for those who've never felt the joy we've felt                                                                                                                  Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony Each time you speak to me,                                                                                               I hear a tender Rhapsody of love                                                                                                                                                   Now, Baby, as you stand holding me, whispering how much you care,                                                                                               A thousand violins fill the air

The concert was everything they both hoped. Outside Kim's door, the strains of 'Stoned Love' came from inside. Kim & Zack were lost inside each other. For them, 'I Hear A Symphony was still playing as they kissed each other tenderly.

 Don't let this moment end,                                                                                                                                                                                      keep standing close to me,                                                                                                                                                             Oh, so good to me, baby, baby,                                                                                                                                             Whenever you're near, I hear a symphony, a tender melody...
