Chapter 6
Trini smiled as she walked into Aisha's kitchen. The girls had decided to get together that morning to have breakfast and just spend the day being carefree.
"Hey Trini." Kat said, the first to notice her.
"Hi. So what are the plans for today?" she asked as she got a cup of coffee.
"Not much, just trying to get Tanya's attention." Aisha replied
"Huh?" Tanya asked coming out of her thoughts.
"See." Kat said with a smile.
"What's up Tany?" Trini asked as she sat down.
"It's nothing really, I just have this tune stuck in my head that one of the girls in the band was humming last night. And I can't place it."
"So it's driving you nuts." Aisha said with a smile.
"I hate that." Trini replied taking a sip of her coffee.
"Maybe one of us will recognize it." Kat suggested.
"Yeah, why don't you hum it for us?" Aisha asked with a smile.
Tanya nodded then began to hum the tune softly.
Trini dropped the donut she had picked up, catching everyone's attention.
"Trini? Are you all right?" Aisha asked softly.
"Everyone to the car. We have to go now." Trini said standing up and grabbing her purse.
The others looked at each other questioningly, but stood and followed her just the same. Trini didn't speak a word as they drove across town to the Dojo where the boys were. After she parked she got out and walked into the building with the others on her heels, still confused as to what was going on.
They guys looked up as the door closed to reveal Trini and the others strolling across the floor to meet them.
"Trin?" Billy asked confused.
"We thought you were having a girl's day, no guys allowed until the party tonight?" Rocky asked, just as confused.
"So did we." Aisha said as they stopped, and Trini walked past the group to Zach's office.
"Then what's going on?" Zach asked staring after Trini. "How come she's in my office?" he asked no one in particular.
"Beats me." Adam said shrugging his shoulders. Trini came out of the other room holding a tape and walked over to the stereo. She put it in and pushed play, then finally turned to them. "Is this the tune that she was humming?" she asked looking at Tanya.
Tanya paused to listen as a guitar was heard playing the opening notes to a song, playing the tune through once.
"That's it." Tanya exclaimed. "What is that?" she asked as a familiar voice started to sing.
Down the road We never know
What life may have in store
Winds of change Will rearrange
Our lives more than before
But you'll never stand alone my friend
Memories never die
In our hearts they'll always live
And never say goodbye
"Trini, what's going on?" Zach asked as he walked over and stopped the tape.
"Tanya heard one of the girls in the band humming this last night." She explained softly, grabbing Jason's, Billy's, Tommy's, and Zach's, attention.
"Are you sure that was the tune?" Jason asked softly.
"I'm positive. Why?" Tanya asked confused as to their reaction. She looked to the other girls, and guys who had not been on the original team questioningly.
"Who wrote that song?" Kat asked softly
"That was Kim singing it wasn't it?" Adam asked looking at Tommy.
"Yeah it was." Zach replied, "She wrote that tune, and I helped her with the lyrics."
"She wrote it for me after I lost my powers when we were sixteen." Tommy explained quietly.
"Then how did she know it last night?" Tanya asked softly. "Do you have any other recordings of Kim singing?"
"Yeah, hang on I'll get them." Zach said as he turned to go to his office once more. Everyone found a place to sit, and waited a few moments for Zach to return.
"Ernie gave me a copy of the tape from the Christmas party when Aisha and Kim did the choir." He explained as pulled the tv into the room and plugged it in. He popped the tape in, and grabbed the remote and joined them. Fast- forwarding until he reached the part where Kim and the others were singing, they sat and watched the children sing.
Fast-forwarding some more, the tape changed to a scene where there was karaoke equipment.
"My mom had a tape of the Kim's seventeenth birthday. I added it at the end." He explained.
"I still can't believe she had a karaoke party." Tommy said with a smile.
They all laughed softly before Kim came up to the mike and began to sing.
Smile, an everlasting smile
A smile can bring you near to me
Don't ever let me find you wrong
Cause that would bring a tear to me
This world has lost it's glory
Lets start a brand new story
Now my love
You think that I don't even mean
A single word I say...
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
Talk, in everlasting words
And dedicate them all, to me
And I will give you all my life
I'm here if you should call to me
You think that I don't even mean
a single word I say...
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da
This world has lost it's glory Now, my love
You think that I don't even mean
a single word I say...
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
It's only words
And words are all I have
To take your heart away
As the song ended Tanya looked around the room slowly. "You guys are going to think I'm crazy." She began softly
"You thinking that Ann sounds a lot like Kim aren't you." Adam replied.
"We are crazy, but what if." Trini began slowly, then sat straight up. "Everyone to our house." She said as she got up and rushed out of the room.
"Here we go again." Aisha mused as she stood up and Zach turned off the tv.
Twenty minutes later everyone stood around Trini and her computer as she took a picture of Kim and made a few changes.
"If we give her blonde hair." Trini trailed off sitting back from the computer so the others could see.
"Merciful heavens, it is Ann." Aisha said with a gasp.
"But why is Kim going by Ann now?" Jason asked softly.
"And why isn't she in Florida like we've all been told." Tommy continued.
They looked at each other, something wasn't right, something definitely wasn't right.
