TOGETHER WE'RE BETTER by C.A. TURNER

SIX FLAGS AMUSEMENT PARK:

Having a weekend away from college courses, Zack Taylor & Kimberly Hart, Jason Lee Scott & Cynthia Harrell, Tommy Oliver & Kat Hilliard, Billy Cranston & Trini Kwan, Adam Park & Tanya Sloan, Rocky DeSantos & Karone, & Andros & Cassie Chan were letting off some steam. Zack & Kim went off to the Tunnel of Love. "Zack. Have you and Angela been able to move on? She & I don't seem to be...how should I say this...at least civil towards each other." Kim asked.

"Well, if she has something against it, that's her problem. The way she was acting, it was over between the 2 of us a long time ago. If she can't move on, then, she's got some real problems. Besides, why would I want to be with someone who treats me like a hired hand or a substitute? I don't need that. I need...and want...most importantly... love you. No one can take that away from either of us. As far as I'm concerned, there is no one else." Zack said passioniately.

Cuddling up closer to him, Kim smiled "You're right. It's you and me, kid, from here on out. Tommy's part of my history, but that's all he is now: history. Come here."

They started kissing before the ride started.


Likewise, Trini & Billy were taking a walk through the grounds, finally deciding on 'Batman: The Ride.' Celine Dion's 'Because You Loved Me' came on over the park's loudspeaker. "Guess what? Rocky & Karone are planning to go out more. Cynthia had a feeling they'd hit it off, and she was right." Billy told her.

"I definitely think she and Jason are perfect. She's been able to calm him down some. He's mad about her. On the subject of pairs, how're Adam & Tanya doing?" Trini asked.

"It looks like they've worked out whatever problems they've had, and moved forward. And so have Andros & Cassie." Billy told her.

This suprised Trini. "Andros & Cassie? I never would have believed it! But, then again, my cousin always was kind of a free spirit. Andros, he's always so serious. I guess Cassie can help him lighten up a little.

"On the subject...how about Rocky & Karone? Of all of us, Rocky was the least interested in romance, now this. I think he needs this."

Trini steered the conversation back to themselves. "How about us? Do you think we'll still be together?"

"Together, married happily, for about 100 years or eternity. Trini Kwan, there is no one else for me. I love you, and only you."

And if there were any doubts left, the kiss wiped them out.


LATER THAT NIGHT:

Fireworks were blasting in the sky over Six Flags. Jason & Cynthia were talking and giggling, Tommy & Kat watched the show, along with Tanya & Adam, Billy & Trini, Rocky & Karone, & Andros & Cassie were sharing a late pizza together.

The song 'Together We're Better' was playing for a special pyrotechnic display. This song mirrored exactly what Zack & Kimberly were feeling. The song said it all, as they looked into each other's eyes.

And, shadowed by the fireworks, their kiss said it all, too.
