AN/: I don't own Power Rangers or Sailor Moon and the song belongs to Casada. Oh and reviews equal virtual cookies. :)
Welcome to our Red Family
"So Jase, tell Rei who's here," Tommy said giving the guys around the table a nod.
"Yeah Jason," the protector of Mars hit Jason's arm playfully. "Who are you showing me off to?" she asked looking around the table. Looking at every one of the rangers Rei could tell that they were definitely reds.
"They have that 'extremely good guy' energy about them," Rei thought to herself.
"Well," Jason began, finally taking his eyes off her. "The one right across from us is the new rookie, Wild Force's lion, Cole Evans," he said with a pause. "He kind of saved the day," Cole offered a smile and Rei returned it with a nod. "On his left we have Wes Collins, of Time Force, he kind reminds me of a weird mix between Tommy and Rocky,"
"Well I'm the one who really deserves a fan club. I changed history," Wes said causing both Tommy and Eric to roll their eyes. Offering his hand with a stifling smile, Rei shook it thinking that he was more like Mina.
"Next to him is Lightspeed Rescue's Carter Grayson," Jason told her pointing to the firefighter.
Giving her a nod, "Nice to meet you," Rei nodded back with a smile.
"Leo is the Lost Galaxy red," Jason said pointing to the quiet man.
"Oh right the sword wheeler," Rei said looking at him, "Amara would love to take on another swordsman."
"Amara?" Leo asked curiously.
"Our gold," Rei answered.
"Oh."
Jason turned his head to face the other side of the table, "On this side we have Andros," he said giving Rei a smirk, "he has a space ship."
Rei rolled her eyes, "Okay, okay, I'll think about mentioning it to the other scouts. I'm sorry," she said turning her attention back to the earth bound alien, "It must be very convenient," Rei told Andros.
"Actually," Andros began, "it can be quite nagging so I built a mute button." Rei just smiled feeling that it was inside thing.
"Over here is T.J., Andros's teammate. He was their blue and Tommy's replacement," Jason told Rei.
"What kind of blue?" Rei asked wondering.
Everyone looked at her, "What do you mean?" Carter inquired.
"Well on our team we have water blue, that's Ami, and ocean blue, that's Michelle," Rei told them. They just looked even more confused. "Okay," she said, wondering in her head how she was going to explain this, "Ami uses math, science, and theories, as well as fighting. Her special attack is ice, though she controls water," she explained to the men, "Michelle uses her feelings, guts, and agility in her fighting. She has a special mirror that shows evil and what others wish to hide, overall she controls tidal waves," Rei finished.
The men finally saw the differences. "Oh," T.J. stated, "Yeah, definitely the second one."
"Umm… yeah, well getting back to introductions all that's left is Tommy and you know him," Jason said looking at his best friend.
"Hey! What about me?" Eric burst thinking this was the First Red's way of getting him back about the "significant other" conversation.
"Oh yeah," Jason told Rei nonchalantly, "that's Eric. He thinks he's a red but that still being debated on," Jason smirked.
"What! I'm the Quantum Ranger!" Eric exclaimed narrowing his eyes.
"Yeah… Quantum. At no point in that title do I hear the word red," Jason joked knowing this would bug any red ranger to not be recognized as one, but from what he heard from Wes, "messing with Eric is just too much fun".
"My suit is the color red! What more proof do you need?" Eric asked getting more agitated. The others just watched amusingly.
The Quantum Ranger's teammate caught on, "I don't know Eric," Wes said playing along, "you might be an extra pink like Lost Galaxy," Wes said giving a sly smile. Eric then started to attack Wes with all the reasons on why he was not a pink.
Rei was trying everything to hold her laughter in. It was ironic because not only did this banter remind her of Serena vs. Rini but also of Serena and herself. Though Eric is reacting the same way Rini and she would act if up against Serena, trying to prove their meatball head of a leader wrong, Wes was acting the way Serena and Rini both do when arguing with others or each other, thinking smugly, and a bit childishly that they have the best right answer. Rei found that a bit funny that though most people (even Rei, herself, but she'd never admit it to anyone) wanted to be more like Serena, people had more of Rini in them.
"Must be that mother daughter thing," Rei thought to herself. Looking up she heard a sentence that really made her feel déjà vu.
"—and I got the Q-Rex!" Eric exclaimed. (It's a good thing that they were at the bar's balcony table and that there hardly any people around to here their conversations.)
To which Wes replied: "Oh yeah and a giant prehistoric reptile is so much better than my megazord,"
"I've got Helios!" Rini argued.
"Oh what's so great about a flying horse!" Serena countered back.
"Helios can transform!" Rini yelled getting into Serena's face.
"Tuxedo Mask is a man!" Serena returned, turning away, and crossing her arms, "With a cape!" she screamed getting back into Rini's face.
Rei couldn't take it anymore she finally burst out laughing. "God," she thought, "they remind me so much of ourselves," continuing to laugh.
All the men turned to glare at Wes and Eric, who in turn, shrunk in their chairs knowing that they just embarrassed themselves and the name of all guy reds in front of the hottest girl red (and the only) ever.
"I'm sorry," Rei choked out, "It's just that you remind me so much of the arguments between my two friends and I," she said as her laughter finally started to die down.
"No offense but if you're a red then I definitely don't want to get into a fight with you," Andros said knowing that he had to keep his own temper in check sometimes.
"Oh believe me, you wouldn't," she said thinking back to Serena, "In fact I'd set you on fire," she told them with a laugh then, started staring off into space, with a smile on her face and an evil glint in her eyes. (AN/: Ahh, the good old days when Rei used to "fire" Serena in the earlier episodes.)
Suddenly there was a giant tapping sound and a loud screech to which everyone grinded their teeth and covered their ears. "Hello? Hello? Is this thing on?" a light shined on the stage down below where a guy, standing with a mike, was talking, "Oh uhh… sorry about that, you folks on the balcony, the speakers are right above your table," Everyone looked up to see that what the man said was true. "If you guys don't mind moving down here, just so we don't have any problems with ears, in case anyone is a little pitchy. Were about to start the karaoke jam everyone."
"I guess we better get down there." Rei said looking at everyone. As everyone got out of their seats and headed towards the stairs. The light shined were Rei was standing right as she was above the stairs.
"Well folks it looks like we have our first karaoke singer of the night,"
"Um no I…" Rei said dumbfounded. In truth the sailor solider hadn't sung since, well since the festival before the awakening of Hotaru. But right now at that moment she didn't want to embarrass herself in front of men, much less macho red men that have almost the same personality as her. Taking a deep breath she started down the stairs. All the guys had their mouth open.
"Rei what are you…?" Jason said as she passed him.
"I'm a red. I never back down from a battle." She said with a wink. Getting to the stage the young man handed her the mike.
"Now the words will appear on the screen up there," he said pointing to the angled flat screen. "try singing into the mike at the right time." He finished as he got off the stage. Standing by the guys (having no idea that she was part of their group)
"What do ya think?" Stage guy asked.
"What do you mean?" Jason questioned back.
"Well she's hot. I'll give her that but I think all that girls good for is lookin' and uh feelin' if you mean," he said his eyes going up in a suggestive way. Jason on the other hand was clenching his fist trying to control himself. "But I think she's just a pretty face. A no talent. A super model without the super." The guy said chuckling at the last bit.
"Well I think—"Jason started about to raise his fist when Tommy intervened.
"Let's have a wager. A hundred bucks and you have to tell her what you said about her." Tommy said looking at the guy.
"Deal. Easiest hundred I'll make." He said turning his gaze back to the stage.
Tommy turned back to Jason who had a questioning look on his face. "Let Rei show him up herself instead of you making a scene, getting us thrown out, and having you sleep somewhere other than your house tonight," Jason nodded understanding. "Plus I get some extra cash and see Rei set fire to this jerk," Jason looked at him with a raised eyebrow. "Metaphorically speaking."
"Alright."
Suddenly the music started.
"Turn up the music
let's get out on the floor (Rei sang starting to get into it)
I like to move it
Come and give me some more
Watch me getting physical, out of control
There's people watching me
I never miss a beat
Steal the night
Kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right
Keep it tight
Cos it's pulling you in
Wrap it up
Can't stop cos it feels like a overdose
(Feels like an overdose) Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. DJ let the music take me underground
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. DJ come burn this place right down to the ground
My body's aching
System overload
Temperature's rising
I'm about to explode
Watch me I'm intoxicated
Taking the show
It's got me hypnotized
Everybody step aside
Steal the night
Kill the lights
Feel it under your skin
Time is right
Keep it tight
Cos it's pulling you in
Wrap it up
can't stop cos it feels like a overdose
(Feels like an overdose)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. DJ let the music take me underground
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh; I'm infected by the sound
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. DJ come burn this place right down to the ground
Come on and evacuate
Feel the club is heating up
Move on and accelerate
Push it to the top
Come on and evacuate
Feel the club is heating up
Move on and accelerate
You don't have to be afraid
Now guess who's back with a brand new track (The Screen started saying)
That got everybody in the club going mad
So everybody in the back get your back up on the wall
And just shake that thang
Go crazy, yo lady, yo baby
Let me see you work that thing
Now drop it down low, low
Let me see you take it to the dancefloor, yo
(Everybody in the club!)
Evacuate the dancefloor
(Everybody in the club!)
I'm infected by the sound
(Everybody in the club!)
Stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. DJ let the music take me underground
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh, I'm infected by the sound
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. DJ let the music take me underground
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, evacuate the dancefloor
Oh, oh; I'm infected by the sound
(Everybody in the club!)
Oh, oh, stop, this beat is killing me
Hey Dr. DJ come burn this place right down to the ground
The song ended, with everyone in the room open mouthed.
