I love you - Singing

"I love you" - Normal speech

'I love you' - Thoughts

Summary: Tommy has finally found the right way to tell Kimberly that he loves her but is too shy to do so. But his stage fright is hindering him from uniting his white falcon with his pink crane.

It was a lovely day in Angel Grove and the Rangers were at the Angel Grove Youth Center relaxing and laughing at Bulk and Skull as they crashed into the pillars. "BULK!" Skull tried to shout in warning but he was too late because when Bulk crashed into the pillars, he dragged Skull with him, creating quite the circus scene. Tommy looked at Kim with a longing expression on his face as he stared at the love of his life. 'I wish I had a way to tell Kim, my Lady of the Skies, how I feel about her and ask her to come to the upcoming school dance with me.' Tommy thought with a sigh as he watched Kim talk to Zach, who was struggling not to burst into laughter at what happened to Bulk and Skull. "I guess you taught them a new dance." Kim giggled as she and the others walked up to Zach after the dance battle. "Yeah. The 'crash and burn'." Tommy joked as he walked over, causing the others to start laughing again. Hearing Kim laugh was like music to Tommy's ears. Kim's laugh was contagious and everyone in the Youth Center was laughing along with them, even Bulk and Skull soon found out the joke of the problem. Farkas 'Bulk' Bulkmeier and Eugene 'Skull' Skullovich were the biggest and silliest bullies at Angel Grove High because they thought being mean would make them more popular. If anything, it just made them even sillier (and more annoying) than they already were. Kimberly Ann Hart was the most popular girl at Angel Grove High, and she was also the prettiest. She loves gymnastics and hopes to find her true love. Kim's favorite color is pink, and with her caramel hair and doe-brown eyes it's impossible to not fall in love with her. Skull only loves her because she's the most popular girl in school but Tommy, on the other hand, loves her for who she is and only for who she is. When he and Kim locked eyes for the first time, he decided that Kim was his Lady of the Skies. The way he wanted to tell Kim that he loved her, however, was the real challenge because he didn't how to tell her.

Later that afternoon, Tommy was sitting by the music room holding his golden guitar, strumming it lightly. The guitar was a gift from his deceased mother and father, the chiefs of his Native American village and Jason, Zach, Billy, and Trini were pretending to be his audience as he practiced for the song he was going to sing to Kim. "I hope Kim likes the song I chose for her. She's been upset a lot more with her parents arguing and I thought this song might cheer her up." Tommy explained to the group in front of him. Jason nodded his agreement and Trini commented, "I think she's going to love the song you chose for her, Tommy. It'll also give you the opportunity to tell her how you feel about her. Ever since she saw you at the karate tournament, Kim has had the hots for you. Wouldn't you agree, Billy?".

The blue-eyed kid genius nodded his head before suggesting, "Maybe you can play us the song you want to play for Kimberly before we let her judge for herself, Tommy?" "Okay, the song is called 'True Colors'. My mom, before she and my father passed away, told me to sing this song for the one person that I love, and that's Kimberly. She helped my find my sunshine, so now I can help her find the sun shining inside her." Tommy replied before playing the guitar.

Tommy:

You with the sad eyes

(Think of Phillip Mills' cover of 'True Colors'.) The Rangers and everyone close by gasped in shock at how beautiful Tommy's singing voice is as it echoed into the hallways and were even more shocked to hear the guitar grace their ears with a hypnotic melody. "I didn't know he could sing or play this good, Jason. Kim's going to love it!" Billy whispered to Jason ecstatically. Jason nodded as they continued listening to Tommy sing. One thing all of them could agree on was that Tommy could definitely win the upcoming school talent show because of his awesome singing voice. "Kim will certainly be lucky to have a man like Tommy as her boyfriend. He's kind, caring, and very selfless. Tommy's not afraid of doing anything for her, even willing to give his own life up for her." Trinity 'Trini' Kwan chimed in with a warm, caring smile.

Don't be discouraged

Oh, I realize

It's hard to take courage

In a world full of people

You can lose sight of it all

The darkness inside you can make you feel so small

Show me a smile then

Don't be unhappy

Can't remember when

I last saw you laughing

This world makes you crazy

And you've taken all you can bear

Just call me up

'Cause I will always be there

And I see your True Colors shining through

I see your True Colors

And that's why I Love you

Tommy just finished singing when the entire Youth Center burst into applause. "Tommy! I didn't know you could sing so well! You should perform gigs here at the Youth Center for charity." Ernie suggested as he walked over to the group of friends. The Youth Center was in need of some extra money and hat better way to raise some, than a charity concert? But what the others don't know is that Tommy has stage fright and doesn't really do well in front of huge crowds. Shaking his head slowly, Tommy bolted out of the Youth Center with a hot blush on his face. As Tommy ran by, Trini felt a hot tear of embarrassment drop onto her arm. "Oh, guys. I think Tommy has stage fright and is embarrassed of his singing." Trini said in shame, upset that she didn't recognize Tommy's body language sooner.

All of them were in disbelief that Tommy was ashamed by how well he could sing, he was great! But Bulk and Skull just had to have the last laugh because they cornered Tommy in the doorway. "Well, if it isn't Mr. Perfect. You really don't know what good music is, because Skull here is going to woo Kimberly with his melodious pipes. While you, on the other hand, you couldn't even put a rooster to shame with how bad you can crow." Bulk sneered with disgust as he pulled a knife out and scratched Tommy across his eye. The cut wasn't deep enough to draw blood, but it was deep enough to leave an impression. Now, Tommy has a scar across his left eye that will never heal. Tommy was so shocked and embarrassed that he ran out of the Youth Center and up to the lake. That was the last straw for Bulk and Skull because Lieutenant Stone came in and placed them under arrest for physical assault. The Rangers chased after Tommy to try and calm him down, but when they got up to the lake Kim had beaten them to the punch. There on the sandy white shoreline of the lake, sat Kimberly Ann Hart with Tommy asleep in her arms and he had tears running down his face. The scar was still on his face but Kim stitched it up good as new. The next morning, Tommy decided to cook breakfast for everyone as a thanks for them staying with him. He just finished setting the finished plates on the table when everyone started waking up.

(Billy's Pov)

The others and I woke up to an extremely pleasant aroma coming from the kitchen. Following the others, we saw the kitchen table covered in all sorts of breakfast goods. "Whoa, what a smorgasbord!" Zach exclaimed rushing to the table. "Who cooked this food because this takes the cake from all the other cafes I've had breakfast in." I had to agree with him, this food is delicious. But the person who cooked it, caught us all off guard. "I did." a familiar voice said from behind me. I turned around and saw that it was Tommy who cooked us breakfast. All of us thanked Tommy and continued gorging ourselves on his home cooked meal, but Kim was scarfing everything down at once. "Whoa, sis. Slow down before you get a stomachache." Jason warned her as she kept scarfing her breakfast down faster than Zach could. Zach joked, "Okay, it's official. Kim has finally taken my place as the biggest eater in our group. She not only broke my eating record, she broke my record for eating food the fastest." That earned a laugh out of all us, me especially.

Later, Tommy walked up to where me, Jason, and Kim were watching a silly movie and asked, "Kim? Can I talk to you for a minute?" Kim looked at me, then at Jason, then to Tommy before nodding and replying, "Sure, Tommy. Let's go back outside to the lake before we talk because I don't want anyone overhearing our conversation. Plus, Jason, Zach, and Trini won't let me hear the end of it." With that, they walked out of the cabin and out to the lake. I smirked inconspicuously at the departing couple because today was the day that the Lord and Lady of the Skies were going to be united at long last.

What could Tommy want to talk to Kimberly about and what will he do about the scar that Bulk left on his face?
