Hey peoples! Guess what?! I was telling myself, "You're going to finish this chapter and post it!" And then I was like, "Yeah!" I was doing well and then I got flipping stuck with writer's block! I didn't even know where Cody would take her until I went to karaoke with my friends and then the idea came to bring the random couple here. I think you might even notice the spots I got stuck on. I also got hypnotized by YouTube and Netflix. Then, for some other reason I was like, "Karaoke? Singing?" Like seriously, I just reminded myself of Disney so I'm going to call this the Disney chapter. I don't know why though…if you find out the songs used in this chapter, I will…I will tell you Hi. Hey! Did you know I remembered there was a little boy in PRSS that guarded the bull zord named Cody after naming my Cody? Yeah…I think that is the end of my random rant. Read on…

"Well, they aren't really my parents." Lauren told Cody. The date has officially started and it was time to get to know each other more and Cody was already curious about Lauren's family. "I just call Catherine mom because she's the closest I have to one. All of the other people you saw in the house are very close friends. Jayden and I are the only Shibas left."

"Really, why is that?" Cody asked.

Lauren stirred her drink with her straw, unsure how to answer that. Even after saving humanity from a horrific world of nighlok, no one knew who the samurais were except the samurais themselves unless they told someone close who swore to not tell anyone. They're supposed to stay a secret no matter what. Not knowing how long her relationship with Cody would last, she kept out all of the little details and just simply told him many Shibas died several years ago during one of the nighlok invasions. It wasn't a lie, just not all of the truth.

"Oh, I'm sorry." Cody apologized. "I can't imagine losing family to those creeps. The other samurais did a good job a few years ago though."

Lauren smiled a little inside at the compliment. "It's fine, don't be sorry. Everything happens for a reason, right?"

"Yeah, I guess so." Cody flipped through his menu. "What are you ordering?"

"I'll take whatever you're having if that's okay with you."

"I think I know what you might like." Cody smirked. He sees her a lot around his job to know at least a few dishes she likes to order when she's there.

"Let's get…UNRULY! Um…Dirrty! Start party!" A man on stage in front of Lauren and Cody's table struggled to get the lyrics of a song. Lauren couldn't help but cover her mouth with her hand and giggle a little. She still clapped for the effort even though he did a terrible job. She already told herself she wasn't going on stage.

"That was bad." Cody chuckled and clapped too. "I bet you can do better than him."

"I told you I can't sing."

"Oh, come on! That's what every first time karaoke people say. Karaoke is so much fun and it doesn't matter if you have a great voice or know all the lyrics. They give you the lyrics anyways. People are just bad at reading them."

"I don't know…"

"How about this, you can wait for the food and I will go get the song book for you to look at. Trust me; it's going to be great."

"Fine, I'll do it." Lauren rolled her eyes and sighed. She's never done anything on a stage with people watching unless it was the TV news reporters recording her on an abandoned street in her ranger helmet. And not even that counts much because she wasn't there for most of the fights.

After grabbing the song book, Lauren and Cody searched through the book for a song they knew or one that interest them. Lauren tried to reject all of them in attempt to stay off the stage but that wasn't working with Cody. He knew she had to at least like a few of the songs. It's a big book.

"This is a very popular song right now." Cody said while analyzing the book.

"I don't like that song." Lauren told him.

"For real…" Cody sighed. Lauren doesn't know or like any of the songs he likes.

"I'm sorry, I'm very picky when it comes to music."

"I see you two are having difficulty choosing a song." A woman said as she placed food on their table. "I could get you another book."

"That would be appreciated Amanda." Cody thanked her.

"Sure thing Cody." Amanda gave him a smile and left.

"You know every waiter and waitress in town, don't you?" Lauren questioned Cody.

"Not really, that was my cousin, Amanda." Cody responded to her. "And she just works here on mostly weekends for karaoke and extra cash."

"Oh, I see."

"So, tell me more about yourself. What do you do for a living?"

"Well, I'm studying law in college. I don't have a job unless you consider annoying the heck out of my brothers and making fun of my sisters a job." Lauren giggled at the thought.

"Is…is that house all yours?" Cody asked randomly at the moment. When Lauren gave him the address to her house, he couldn't believe how far it was from the city and how luxurious it looked. She couldn't have bought all of it herself since she has no job.

"It is…well, I own it with Jayden." Lauren said timidly. It wasn't really any of his business but Lauren decided she would be more open about herself for the sake of it being her first date. "I inherited our father's money."

"Oh, that's nice." Cody nodded, not wanting to ask anymore sensing how uneasy Lauren was about the question. He grabbed his chopsticks, trying to place them in his fingers correctly. "I can never get these things right."

Lauren giggled at him and picked up her own chopsticks. "Here, let me show you. I study a lot of Japanese." She showed him how his fingers are supposed to be set and then put her chopsticks in between certain fingers but Cody still didn't get it. She moved closer to him and took his hand smoothly, moving his chopsticks in between his fingers properly. Cody watched her with a smile until his cousin came back and shoved another song book in the middle of their moment.

"Having fun?" Amanda smirked and walked off leaving them alone again.

Lauren's cheeks burned the color of her ranger color while Cody cleared his throat. "Um, thanks, it's about time I used these right."

"It was no problem." Lauren responded, fixing her hair behind her ear.

"I will love you until the end of time…" A short teenage girl on stage sang. She moved to the beat and flipped her hair with attitude.

"Wow, I think we will see this little girl in the studios recording soon." The host said when she left the stage.

"She's really good." Lauren clapped for the girl.

Cody flipped through the new song book with a grin. "Here we go again."

"What's that supposed to mean?"

"Do you like this song?" Cody pointed in the book.

"Uh, eh, it's an okay song." Lauren lied. Well, she has been lying about how she felt about most of the songs because of stage fright but the song he pointed out this time was her favorite song. Cody caught her this time and wrote her name on a piece of paper with the song beside it. "What are you doing?"

"Making you get your fifteen minutes of fame. It's pretty obvious you haven't had yours yet." Lauren's mouth dropped open. "Don't worry, I won't outshine you when I get my turn up there."

"Cocky…I like that. Fine, we'll see who does better." Lauren crossed her arms, showing her competitive side.
