Kira finished her first song and smiled at the crowd of her friends cheering for her. Connor and Krista were smiling broadly, while Ethan and Angela were whistling. Dr. Oliver, Elsa, and Anton were cheering as well, but Kira only had eyes for Trent, whose arms were raised in celebration.
He began clapping for her again as she began to play another song. As she began, Blake pulled into the hotel where the Reefside prom was being held.
"Blake, we can't just crash their prom," Tori said as he helped her out of the car. Blake offered her his arm and she took it.
"Who said anything about crashing their prom?" Tori stopped and gave him a questioning look. Without a word Blake placed her arms around his neck. "Hold on to me," he whispered. Tori did as he said and Blake Ninja Streaked to the rooftop.
When they stopped Tori's hand went up over her mouth. "Blake… it's beautiful," she muttered.
There were white lights and candles set up around the rooftop with a small table set off to the side. There was a skylight open and they could hear Kira's voice coming through loud and clear.
The music inside changed to a slower tune and Blake drew her into his arms, kissing her softly. They began swaying to the music gently, their heads resting together.
The music continued to play for awhile longer and they were thankful for that.
Neither one of them wanted this night to end… Blake was leaving in a few weeks and they wanted to spend as much time together as possible.
Blake kissed her cheek and cradled her head in his hand. "Tori… I love you," he said as he saw soft tears beginning to gather in her blue eyes.
"Blake… I love you too," she whispered as they met for a soft, tender kiss that was different from any that they had shared before.
Tori pulled herself away from him and ran her fingers along his cheek. "This night has been so great."
He bent to her ear and kissed it. "It gets better." Tori smiled and looked at him. He took her in his arms again and streaked back to his truck. They got in and drove back to his house.
Inside, Kira stepped off the stage and went over to her friends. She was formally introduced to Angela and was reacquainted with Krista.
"So you decided to come after all," Connor said.
"And you came alone too… that takes guts," Ethan commented.
"Who said anything about coming alone?" Trent said as he wrapped his arms around her from behind. Kira smiled and leaned into him.
"It's about time you asked her out," Connor said as he shook Trent's hand. Trent smiled at his leader, understanding that all the bad blood between them was finally gone.
They heard the song change and paired off, dancing slowly.
Trent smiled at Kira. "You look beautiful," he whispered. Kira blushed.
"Thanks… you look great too," she said smiling. Trent tightened his arm around her and she placed her head on his shoulder.
"I wonder if Tori and Blake are enjoying their prom," she said to him. Trent smiled.
"I'm sure their having a great time… just like us." Trent had received a call from Kira, who had gotten one from Blake and they had managed to set up the little surprise on the roof for their friends.
The night wore on and all the couples were enjoying their evening. The Dino Thunder Rangers were off to their hotel rooms, courtesy of Dr. Mercer. He trusted them all to be careful, and they weren't going to disappoint him.
Kira and Krista were in one room, while Connor and Trent were in the adjoining one. Ethan had opted for going home early. They all settled in, but after a few minutes Connor rose from his bed.
"Connor?" Trent asked as he saw Connor going into the girls' room.
"I'll send her over," was his reply. Trent smiled and sat up in bed. A few moments later Kira appeared in the doorway in pajama shorts and a tank top.
"Hi," she said shyly as she came into the room. Trent was shirtless and suddenly felt nervous around her.
"Hey", he said. They were both a little nervous, but Trent couldn't hold back anymore. He stood and walked over to her.
Kira smiled at him as he placed a hand on her face and one around her waist. Kira placed her arms around his neck and they slowly leaned in. Their lips met and everything else was forgotten.
They made their way onto the bed and spent the rest of the evening exploring each other slowly and tenderly until they fell asleep in each other's arms.
Meanwhile…
Blake pulled his truck into his driveway and escorted Tori inside. "Wait here a sec," he said as he kissed her. Tori watched as he disappeared into his room and reappeared a few moments later.
He took her hands in his and walked her in. Again, Tori was rendered speechless. There were about a dozen candles lit around the room and his bed was turned down. Blake wrapped his arms around her waist from behind her and kissed her shoulder.
"Blake it's so…"
"Perfect," he finished as he spun her in his arms. Their lips met gently at first, but soon their kisses became erratic and hurried. Blake carefully unzipped her dress as she removed his shirt and jacket.
"You're sure you want this?" Blake asked as he slid a strap down over one shoulder. And laid his lips on her sun kissed skin.
Tori traced his stomach with her finger. "I want this more than anything." She had tears shining in her eyes as she kissed his softly, running her tongue along his bottom lip.
Blake took her hint and kissed her passionately as he lowered the straps of her dress, letting it fall to the ground.
The sight of her nearly naked in front of him was almost more than he could take. He picked her up bridal style and walked over to the bed and lowered her down with him on top of her.
He removed her bra and she helped him out of his pants. Their lips never left each other as they removed their remaining garments.
Blake lay on top of her and ran his hand along the side of her face. "I love you," he whispered.
"I love you," she responded as they joined themselves together. Their gentle touches and soft caresses on each other's skin was more than they could have hoped for.
Both experienced for the first time the true meaning of love and passion that night as they gave themselves to each other. They both knew that they were each other's firsts… and lasts in their hearts.
Blake moved himself in and out of her in languorous strokes and Tori welcomed all of him. She moved her hips in tune with his, and soon they both came down from the heaven they had been in.
Tori wrapped her arms around his middle and kissed her way along his chest and stomach until she returned to his mouth that she felt incomplete without now.
Blake was breathing heavily as he held her to him loosely, with one hand on her breast and the other on her back. He gently began to massage her breast and Tori let out a breath she didn't know she was holding.
"Please don't go," she said softly as she got her breath back. Blake stopped his touching and turned to face her. Tears had silently made their way down her cheeks without him noticing and it tore him in two.
He ran his thumb along her cheeks to wipe them away and she kissed him.
"I know I'm being selfish, but I don't want you to leave," she said calmly.
Blake held her on his chest. "We'll figure something out, baby. I promise we will."
Tori kissed him again and heard his heart beating. "I know we will…"
