Warning: I do not own the Power Rangers, or anything related to them, Saban does. I just use them in my storylines…. Nor do I own Mandy Moore, I just use her song.
Plot: It's a song fic…It's my first one at that, so please be gentle on the reviews. No real plot, Kim comes for a visit from Florida and the group goes out to have a little fun.
Tag line: Got things you need to say? Welcome to Open Mike Night.
There it stood. The various colors of lights on the stage glinted off the microphone as it stood in its' stand. The group had been there for a while now, clapping and cheering for the numerous people who had walked up and decided to entertain them.
Aisha looked over at Kim and smiled. "Say Kim, why don't you get up there and show us your talent." Kim looked up from stirring her drink with the straw in her hands and shook her head viciously. "No I couldn't." she started to say but was cut off by the others and their nods of encouragement. "Come on Kim, you know you have awesome talent!" Rocky smiled from Aisha's other side. Aisha smiled and slipped her hand into Rocky's, giving it a light squeeze. Again, Kim shook her head, not really wanting to humiliate herself in front of everyone. "Please Kim, I haven't heard you sing before but I've heard you have a heavenly voice." Kat's Australian accent flowed from her perch next to Tommy, who was remaining quiet throughout the conversation. Kim looked over to Billy for some support but he just flashed her a grin. "Oh no, don't look at me, I think you should get up there and sing." She sighed and shrugged, which got a victorious yelp from the rest of the group, well almost everyone. "That's the Kim we all know and love." Adam laughed as Kim stood up, smoothing down her skirt, an old nervous habit she had, Tommy thought to himself as she stood up. "I have the perfect song for you Kim!" Aisha said happily as she stood up and linked arms with her friends. She leaned in a whispered into her ear, Kim pulled away, looking shocked and shook her head again venomously. "I couldn't 'Sha." She replied in a hushed whisper. Aisha simply nodded and pulled the grimacing girl toward the stage. " Oh yes you can, and you will girl." She smiled and whispered into the man's ear. He nodded and got up and grabbed a hold of the mic. "Alright, now we have a Miss Kimberly Hart to grace us with a song." He placed the microphone back into its holder and walked off. "You're up." Aisha smiled and pushed Kim onto the stage.
Kim silently cursed herself for agreeing to doing this. She sighed and walked to the center of the stage and took a hold of the microphone, only then did she notice how her hands were shaking. She scanned the crowd and noticed that she had everyone's full attention. She looked over to the table where she had been sitting moments before. Everyone, including Tommy was looking at her. Waiting for her to start. She cleared her throat and nodded her head to the man who was starting the music.
Aisha smiled and returned to her seat. Rocky wrapped an arm around her and laughed softly. "And why do you have such a smug look on your face?" Aisha looked at him and laughed. "I'm going to say it in a language you might understand, silencio! She's about start." Rocky kissed her cheek and turned his gaze back to the stage.
Kim sighed and looked at Aisha. Her and Rocky were giving her grins, along with the group. She looked into the one pair of dark eyes she always looked to for strength. They revealed nothing at the moment. She closed her eyes and took a deep breath and began singing, her voice flowing.
Oh yeah
You face
I'm still not over
Your face
Headlights break through the rain
Over London's winter light
I came all the way here tonight
To look in your eyes
I came all the way here tonight
Just to see you
She paused and looked up again, staring past Tommy to anything else. She focused on the music and closed her eyes, and kept singing.
Your face
Holds me over
Your face
It wipes away the rain
Like a hundred summer skies
And everytime I talk to you
It's like I'm alright
And everytime I talk to you
I get a little closer to light
She took a breath, not wanting to open her eyes; afraid they would show all she had been trying to conceal for so long. So, she kept her eyes closed, not wanting to see his face, knowing that he would know exactly what she was saying.
You are the face
That heaven shown me
When I needed someone
Someone to love
And stay
You showed me
The quiet kind of love
Behind your face
She looked up and opened her eyes; she could feel his penetrating stare on her. She looked back into those eyes that she had fallen for, and did still deeply want, not caring what she did or didn't conceal in them. Her voice became stronger and she kept singing.
Oh yeah, yeah, yeah
Your face
Let me show the world
Your face
All the stars and suns above
Are jealous
It's a light
You steal the sky with them
Bring it aside
You steal the sky with them
Bring it to light
*My god she's gorgeous. * Tommy thought as he watched Kim sing. She was bathed in the light that was streaming down from the harsh stage lights. She looked amazing, and so brave standing up there, singing out her feelings. He shifted in his seat, her hold on him unbreakable at the moment.
'Cause you are the face
That Heaven showed me
when I needed someone
someone to love
Your Face
You showed me
The quiet kind of love
Behind your face
Aisha looked over at Tommy, who seemed to be entranced with Kim, and her singing. Aisha smiled to herself, congratulating herself on her good work. She looked at the rest of the group and they all shared her happiness, well almost all of them, the glare of the girl on Tommy's silently voiced how unhappy she was with Kim's performance. *Well, she asked for it, she wanted Kim to sing. * Aisha thought as she turned her attention back to Kim.
Quiet kind of love
Behind your
Face
As the music faded, the people began clapping and cheering. She really didn't notice though, people were whistling their approval, but she didn't care. She moved as if in a trance, towards those eyes. Eyes that were earlier shaded but were now full of so many emotions, matching her own. He was moving toward her also, in the same trance-like state. Before she knew what was happening, his arms were around her, pulling her close to his hard, warm body.
Rocky looked over at his girlfriend, who had a grin on her face. "This was all your…"
"Shh, just enjoy it, have you ever seen him this happy?" she whispered as they watched their leader wrap his arms around his one true love. "Now that's a real smile, I never believed the half hearted stuff that we were flashed was ever real." She whispered as the group watched the two lovers embrace. Rocky simply shrugged and kept looking.
Kim pulled away and looked into Tommy's now warm brown eyes. "But what about…"
"It's forgotten, Beautiful, I love you, I always have, and I would be kidding myself if I said I didn't." He smiled down at her, and stroked her cheek with his thumb. She leaned into his touch and smiled. "I'm so sorry for everything I did, it was stupid of me and I…" She didn't finish her statement because he leaned in and laid a soft, sweet, passion filled kiss onto her lips. She sighed happily and returned his kiss, which got even louder cheers from the audience.
