Just One Dance

Katie walked into the Collins Mansion with Trip and Lucas right behind her. They had just been out at the mall shopping for some clothes, since their recent attack by Deaton had fried a few pairs of jeans and a good t-shirt.

"Geez, Katie! I thought you said that this would take us only a few minutes!" Lucas protested. "We were out for hours!"

"Ok, so I needed a few more things then a pair of jeans." Katie said. "Jen also left a small list as well, with a few of my add-ons as well."

"You know that club that we saw on the way home, what was its name?" Trip asked, obviously something was brewing in his mind.

"It's called Ground Zero." Wes walked in with a bottle of soda in hand. "Just opened up a few days ago."

"Really?" Katie said. Her eyes narrowed. "Say, why don't we got out tonight, guys?"

"Go out where?" Jen walked down the stairs to see Wes standing there, and stopped half way down.

"There's a new club downtown. Katie thought we should go out and have some fun for once." Trip said.

"Come on, Wes." Lucas slapped his arm. "You can bring Jessica."

Wes stuttered. "Wh—why should I bring her, I mean, it'd be a time for the Rangers to spend some time together…right?" Wes shrugged. His gaze fell upon Jen.

"True, and Jen, there may be some guys there, you know?" Katie nudged her.

Jen met Wes's gaze. "Uhh…sure. We could go out for a night."

Wes smiled. "All right. I'll make a call for a reservation."

"Excellent!" Katie jumped. She looked at Jen. "Come on, Jen. I want to show you some clothes I bought you for tonight."

"What?" Jen asked, astonished. But before she could protest, Katie shoved her up into Jen's room, and winked at Wes.

"You too, Wes. Trip and I picked out something for you to wear too." Lucas took a bag and pushed Wes into his room.

A little while later

"I still don't know why I agreed to letting you buy this." Jen asked. Katie had bought her a tight pair of jeans, a pair of dance shoes, and a pink spaghetti top.

"Come on, Jen. Don't you wanna meet a guy?" Katie asked.

"I told you…" Jen began.

"You have Alex, but honestly, Jen…can you imagine him at a night club?" Katie chuckled.

This caused Jen to laugh. "True."

"Besides, you think that Wes will ask you to dance?" Katie asked. She had been trying to work a way into this, and buying Jen's outfit, she knew Wes couldn't resist.

Jen didn't answer, and Katie saw the look upon Jen's face. "Jen…did something happen between you and Wes?"

Jen let out a long sigh. "Last night on the balcony. I couldn't sleep. Wes came out and we talked for a bit." Jen stopped.

"I saw him kiss you, Jen. Then you kiss him." Katie nudged.

"You saw that?" Jen asked.

"Yea. So did Lucas and Trip." Katie said, hoping Jen wouldn't be too mad.

But Jen was furious. "Why the hell were you spying on us?" Jen yelled.

"Because we want to see you two get together, that's why!" Katie stood up. "I know you love him, and he loves you. Why do you think that we decided to go out tonight?"

Jen gave her a hard look. "What Wes and I do is none of your business."

"I'm sorry, Jen." Katie said, then bowed her head. Jen's face softened.

"It's okay. I guess I shouldn't be so angry anyway." Jen said.

Katie laughed. "Good. But just promise me one thing, Jen. Just one dance with him, please."

"If it'll make you happy, fine." Jen said. "And the song better not be sappy, or I'm leaving.

"Let's finish getting dressed." Katie smiled, and Jen returned it. "I guess you'd say no to wearing a halter top I got you, would you?"

"Me, in a halter top?" Jen was astounded.

Katie laughed. "I'm kidding, Jen!"

Jen shook her head and began to apply her make up.

In Wes's room

"Come on, Wes. Let's see it!" Trip shouted at the bathroom door.

"I don't know why I let you guys talk me into this." Wes muttered. He walked out wearing a tight red shirt that greatly complimented his well-built body. A pair of cargo jeans and shoes filled in the rest.

"She won't be able to resist." Lucas said.

"But Jessica isn't coming…" Wes shook his head.

"I was talking about Jen." Lucas replied smartly.

Wes didn't answer. "She'll have Alex there. I don't even know why she'd dance with me."

"How about because she isn't in love with Alex." Trip said.

"Like I was trying to say before!" Lucas threw up his hands. "Why do you think she kissed you last night?"

"Lucas!' Trip tried to hush him. But he was too late.

"How do you know she kissed me last night?" Wes asked, suspiciously.

"Umm…we kind of spied on you and Jen last night. Katie as well." Trip said.

Wes shook his head. "I don't believe this…" he paused. "Why?"

"Jen has been through a lot of shit these days, and seeing you has made her happier then ever, even of she doesn't' show it. She still loves you, Wes." Lucas said, his voice low.

"I know. It's just that…" he sighed. "How do I tell Jessica, that I love her, I just love Jen more?"

"I don't know. How are you going to tell me?" Wes turned around to see Jessica standing in the doorway, a sad expression on her face as well. "I saw you kiss her, Wes. And I can see why. Eric warned me about her, saying that she may come back…I just didn't want to believe it."

"So, Lucas, why don't we go see if Jen and Katie are ready yet?" Trip pushed Lucas out of the room and closed the door.

"You saw…" Wes trailed off.

"Everything. I saw you kiss her, then she kissed you back." Jessica walked closer up to him. "You're still in love wither her, and it's obvious."

"I never meant for this to happen. I never really expected to see her again." His voice was quiet.

"So I was just a place holder…a place in your heart for her." she said. Wes bowed his head.

"I'm so sorry." Wes muttered.

She shook her head. "No, I am. I thought that you really loved me, and the truth was, I was just a placeholder. I was holding that place for her." she paused. "I knew it the moment you called me 'Jen' that night we played the trick on you. I just didn't want to believe it."

Wes sighed. "What can I do to make it up?"

"Nothing, Wes. I need to be going." She looked at him, and gave him one final kiss, then she walked out of his room, and out of his life.

But the moment she was gone, Wes didn't feel so hurt. He felt like a weight had been lifted off of his shoulders. He took in a deep breath, and got his cologne, and finished preparing for the night ahead.

In the foyer

Wes, Trip and Lucas were chatting, just as Alex walked in.

"Where are you three going?" Alex asked.

"Out, to a club. You're welcome to come." Wes said.

Alex nodded, but his face was neutral. "No. I have no time to go out. I need to prepare for our next battle."

Wes chuckled. "You need to lighten up, Alex. Live a little."

Alex cracked a smile. "That's why you're here, Wes."

Just then, Jen and Katie walked downstairs, chatting happily. "Have fun, rangers." Alex disappeared into the next room.

But Wes didn't hear Alex…his eyes were on Jen…and how amazing she looked.

"Ready boys?" Katie asked. Trip and Lucas smiled as they rushed outside to the car, leaving Jen and Wes behind.

"Umm…you look great, Jen." Wes said.

"Thanks." Jen said. "You too."

Wes let Jen walked outside and the two made their way to where Wes's car lay.

Twenty minutes later

"This is it…Ground Zero." Wes said. There was a line to get in, and the music from inside made the walls pulse.

Wes pulled up to where the valet parking was and handed over his keys. The rangers walked up to the door, where the bouncer stood.

"Name?" He asked.

"Wes Collins, I have a spot reserved for five people." Wes said.

"Go on in." The man said.

"This is going to be so much fun!" Katie said excitedly. "Come on, guys!"

"Oh God, bring Katie to a night club is definitely a bad idea…" Jen laughed.

"And why is that?" Wes asked. They followed Lucas, Trip and Katie to a vacant table near by.

"Because Katie is a party animal!" Jen laughed.

"Oh, and like you're lesser of a party animal then I am, Jen." Katie retorted.

But Jen just rolled her eyes. Katie, Trip and Lucas left abruptly to dance.

"Buy you a drink?" Wes asked Jen.

"I'll but my own, Wes. It's okay." Jen said as the two made their way over to where the bar stood.

The bartender watched the two come over. "Hello there. What can I getcha, sir?"

"I'll have a Coors light." Wes said.

Just then his eyes rested upon Jen. "What can I get you, miss?" he asked sweetly.

"I'll have a Long Island iced tea, please." Jen said.

"It's on me." Wes added. The bartender nodded as he brought over their drinks.

Wes watched Jen stir her drink, and take a sip. He all of a sudden began to laugh.

"What?" Jen asked, a grin appeared upon her face.

He shook his head. "I'd never expect someone like you to order a Long Island iced tea."

"What? I can have a drink now and then…" Jen took another sip.

For most of the night Jen and Wes occasionally chatted about things and waited until they were to go back home and forget about this night…that was until Katie, Trip and Lucas came over.

"Hey, you two still haven't cut the rug yet? I would have thought you guys to be wild!" Katie protested.

"Go out there, now!" Lucas and Trip pushed Wes out, while Jen was shoved out by Katie.

Just then the upbeat rhythm began to play over the speakers.

Oh Yeaah..... ah ah ah...
Is ah big dancehall song in know
Madzart alongside Kevin Lyttle
You know how it is, you know how we go
You know

"We should get this over with, Jen. Make them happy." Wes muttered, while giving Trip and Lucas a glare. Jen's glare at Katie almost killed her.

"The sooner we get home, the better." Jen muttered.

Wes was unsure of what to do, and how Jen would react to his touch, and vise versa with Jen.

Wes slowly put his arms around Jen's waist as she put hers around his neck. But a crowd began to form, pressing Jen and Wes closer together.

For the longest while we jamming in the party
And you're wining on me
Pushing everything
Right back on top of me (Yea - hey- ai)
But if you think you're gonna get away from me
You better change your mind
You're going home........
You're going home with me tonight

Jen began to feel comfortable in Wes's arms, and he felt her begin to dance to the music, and their harmony flowed smoothly.

SO LET ME HOLD YOU
GIRL CARESS MY BODY
YOU GOT ME GOING CRAZY - YOU
-TURN ME ON
-TURN ME ON....
LET ME JAM YOU
GIRL WINE ALL AROUND ME
YOU GOT ME GOING CRAZY - YOU
-TURN ME ON

Wes moved fluently with Jen as they danced in each other's arms, increasing their motions as the song went on.

The girl ya nah go get way tonite
If she think madd man nah go fight
Me done feed she with popcaorn and sprite
Now she whar come fly way like kite
Ooh Yea Yea
Ooh Yea Yea
Ooh Yea Yea Yeah
Ooh Yea Yea Yea Yea Yea Yea Yea Yea........

In taking a while chance, Wes moved his hands down to Jen's hips. Jen looked him in the eye, and melted.

One hand on the ground & Bumper cock sky high
Wining hard on me
Got the Python
Hollerin' for mercy - Yea hey - ai
Then I whisper in her ear So wine harder
And then she said to me
Boy just push that thing
Push it harder back on me

"Jen, we can stop now if you want." Wes asked. Inside, he didn't want the song to end.

"No. Let's just stay right here." Jen smiled as he returned it. They closed their eyes and intenstly danced to the music. Jen turned around in Wes's arms, as he lay his head on her shoulder, as she did the same.

SO LET ME HOLD YOU
GIRL CARESS MY BODY
YOU GOT ME GOING CRAZY - YOU
-TURN ME ON
-TURN ME ON....
LET ME JAM YOU
GIRL WINE ALL AROUND ME
YOU GOT ME GOING CRAZY - YOU
-TURN ME ON

The two continued to dance to the music, more intenstly as before.

Girl Just Hug Me, Hug Me, Kiss Me, Squeeze Me
Hug Me, Hug Me, Kiss & Caress Me

"You're really enjoying this, aren't you?" Wes asked as he twirled Jen around to face him.

"Yea." Jen said. Wes put his forehead against hers as they continued to dance.

For the longest while we jamming in the Party
And you're wining on me
Pushing everything
Right back on top of me (Yea - hey- ai)
But if you think you're gonna get away from me
You better change your mind
You're going home........
You're going home with me tonight

At the bar, Katie and the bots were watching Jen and Wes dance on the floor, wide smiles on their faces.

"You think that did it?" Trip asked.

"I think so." Lucas said.

Katie jumped and hollered. "Yeaa Wes! Go Jen WHOA!"

On the floor, Wes and Jen laughed as they continued to dance, both enjoying each other's company, then looking over at where Katie stood, yelling.

"Come on, let's go outside." Wes said as Jen took his arm.

Wes lead her outside to a small balcony that was overlooking the ocean as they held each other, continuing to dance to the song, only at a slower pace.

"I had fun tonight, Wes." Jen giggled. "I guess I needed that."

"Yea, me too." Wes drew in a breath. He looked into Jen's brown eyes, a wanting shined brightly behind them.

As a breath of wind drew around them, the song echoed through out the area, but they didn't hear it.

Jen watched Wes inch his head closer to her, as the song continued to play.

LET ME HOLD YOU
GIRL CARESS MY BODY
YOU GOT ME GOING CRAZY - YOU
-TURN ME ON
-TURN ME ON....
LET ME JAM YOU
GIRL WINE ALL AROUND ME
YOU GOT ME GOING CRAZY - YOU
-TURN ME ON
-TURN ME ON........

Jen felt Wes kiss her, much like their first encounter, only that this time it felt so right. The wind blowing made them grow closer, deepening their kiss.

Once apart, Wes smiled at her. "I love you, Jen."

"I love you, too, Wes. It's just taken me so long to realize that." Jen said.

"I know. But now, I'm not going to waste our time together." Wes stated. Jen agreed.

The couple held each other for the last few seconds of the song.

Hug Me, Hug Me, Kiss Me, Kiss Me
Hug Me, Hug Me, Kiss & Caress Me
Hug Me, Hug Me, Squeeze Me, Squeeze Me
Hug Me, Hug Me, Kiss & Caress Me

But soon the club closed, and the rangers made their way back to the Collins Mansion.

Once back, each ranger went up to their respected room, while Jen and Wes went up to Wes's room.

Inside, both changed into their pajamas and lay down closely.

"I don't want to waste any time with you, Jen." Wes said. Jen lay in his arms and sighed contently.

"Neither do I." Jen closed her eyes.

Jen and Wes fell asleep in each other's arms just as a new blanket of snow began to fall, burying their problems, and creating a fresh new start…

…for the both of them.

ch 5 up soon…
