Disclaimer: I still don't own Power Rangers or the song Victoria.
Thank you so much for your reviews! And thank you for letting me know how I should write it. So from now on, it's from third person! And I don't think there will be so many more chapters. Two maybe. Or three. Either way, it's probably coming to an end soon.
The song in this chapter is named Victoria and is by John Mayer. I recommend it strongly, it's beautiful :)

Chapter four: Meeting
--
Kira stood in front of her mirror, biting her lip as she tried to figure out what to wear.
It wasn't just anyone that was coming to see her sing. It was Tori. Tori was special.
She didn't really think Tori would care what she was wearing, but still. It wasn't just any day you was sort of going out with a girl. Especially no one as beautiful Tori.
Kira shook her head, simply choosing the yellow top with black sleeves and a pair of dark blue jeans.
She took a deep breath and nodded to herself. Time to go.

At the Cyberspace it was packed. She didn't think over that though, her eyes scanning the crowd for a blue clad blonde as she walked over to the bar, waiting for the time to pass so she could go up to the stage and play.
She didn't see her though, and a little disappointed she ordered a strawberry smoothie. Trent, who was home from the art school or wherever he'd been, she couldn't remember, sent her a small smile and went to get her smoothie.
She bit her thumbnail as she waited. It was a bad habit, but she did it when she was nervous.
"Waiting for someone?" Trent asked as he came back with her smoothie. There was a twinkle in his eyes, as if he knew.
Kira simply nodded. "Thanks." she said as he reached her her smoothie. "And yeah."
Trent nodded, before sighing. "I've gotta go." he said. "Have fun tonight."
Kira smiled to him. "I will. Again thanks."
Then she was left alone with her thoughts. She constantly looked around at the people. But no Tori.
Then she had to go and sing. She wondered if the song they were playing was purely coincidental, or if a certain person had told the band to play it. Either way, it brought a smile to her face as she began to sing.
Don't know why Tori came by
I could see by the look in her eyes
Tori'd been driving around the town for a while
Playing with the thought of leaving
Kira's eyes automatically went to the door as they opened. Through them came Tori. Her smile widened as Tori looked over to her, and gave her a smile so beautiful that it made Kira's heart flutter
Don't know why Tori just smiled
Mentioned something 'bout how you were right
Must have been hard to see through the tears she was hiding
She said, "I might not be seeing him soon
I got a few things I've been waiting to do."
Kira kept her eyes firmly on Tori as the blond made her way towards the stage and then stopped, only a few feet from it. Tori still smiled, but it had changed from happy to content.
Hey, Tori came by, Tori came by tonight
Hey, Tori came by, she says to say goodbye
Looked outside at the car in the drive
And the suitcase on the backseat inside
Sure it's so, she can't look out behind at the road
Kira hadn't realised Tori had moved closer to the stage before she stood right in front of it. Her eyes had been captured by the green eyes and the dark pink lips. She could only smile to her, and Tori could only smile back.
She said, "I might not be seeing him soon
I got a few things I've been waiting to do."
Hey, Tori came by, Tori came by tonight
Hey, Tori came by, she says to say goodbye
Don't look down, she seemed alright
You might be asking where Tori is tonight
Somewhere out on the highway, I'm sure that she's fine
Kira softly finished the song. Tori's smile could light up the room if it had been dark, and her eyes shone with pride and happyness. Kira walked down from the stage, and Tori quickly came over.
"That was beautiful." she said, and Kira beamed.
"Thank you."
Now came the awkward part though. They stood in silence, neither quite knowing what to say. Finally Tori spoke up. "I guess we have alot to talk about."
Kira nodded. "We'd better go somewhere else then."
Tori nodded. "We can take my van." she said, and gave her a trying smile. Kira smiled a small smile back, nodding, and the two walked out.
They sat in Tori's van and she started it, and they drove away. Tori wasn't all that familiar with the town as she'd only been there once, so she just took a random direction. And somehow they ended up on the beach.
They got out of the van and walked down to the sand and started walking, still silent. They stopped under some trees.
"I'm sorry I avoided you like that." Kira suddenly said. "I shouldn't have."
Tori shook her head. "I understand why you did it," she said. "I would have done the same."
Kira shrugged. "Maybe." she agreed.
They stood once again in silence. Tori opened her mouth, then paused, hesitating. "Have you told anyone about your... preferences?"
Kira grimaced slightly. "Trent, Blake, Hunter and Dustin knows... and I'm not sure I want to tell anyone else."
Tori nodded. "I can relate," she said sadly. "My parents would most likely freak out."
Kira nodded also. "I don't understand," she said. "Why does it have to be so difficult for us who aren't straight?"
Tori shook her head. "I don't know. You should've seen Dustin's parents when he told them he was gay. His father hit him! And they threw him out."
There was a sudden anger in her eyes, fueled by memories.
Kira's eyes widened slightly. "I didn't know," she murmured.
"Dustin doesn't like talking about it," Tori shrugged. "He don't mind much anymore, as he said. Though I think he do, deep down."
She sighed. "I'm scared the same will happen to me." she admitted.
Kira slowly reached out and took her hand in her own. "So am I." she said quietly.
Tori squeezed her hand gently, and sent her a slow smile. Kira returned it.
"What about us?" Tori asked suddenly. "We need to establish where we stand." she explained when Kira frowned.
Kira nodded. "Well..." she said slowly. "I'm willing to give us a try."
Tori smiled, and nodded. "Yes," she said. Then she hesitated. "You want to..." She blushed, not quite sure how to voice her thoughts.
But Kira understood. "Kiss?" she said, also a bit hesitant. Tori nodded.
Kira gently cupped Tori's chin with her free hand. She smiled to the blonde, then leaned in.
