Heaven's What I Feel
by: Carl Turner

On the Animarium, Wonder Woman 1 walked over to Kimberly 1 and Laurie. The Pink Cheetah ThunderCat asked the Princess about her current situation. "How did you and Zack start out together?"

"I'd like to know that myself. Of all of us, you seem to keep your feelings held in. How did this happen?" Kimberly 1 asked.

"The heart goes where it goes. I just know I am in love with him. I still remember how it all started…" as Diana flashed back to a point not too long after the rangers joined the team…

4 years ago…

In the Hall Of Justice, an Amazon Princess was dealing with certain feelings concerning one of the newest members of the Justice League of America, in particular, Zack Taylor, the Black Ranger.

"What am I thinking, he's only 18, still a kid for the most part, for Athena's sake! I can't have these feelings for him! He's got Angela. But, I can't help it, I... I am in... I can't even bring myself to say it, that's how wrong this is! If he ever found out, how will he react, what..."

"Hey Diana! How's things?" Zack asked, somehow knowing what was on her mind.

"Zack, we have to talk," Wonder Woman told him.

An hour later, at the Angel Grove Youth Center, Wonder Woman, known as Diana Prince, was talking to Zack at the Rangers' usual table. "How did you know?"

"I just had a hunch, the way you've started stumbling over words whenever I've asked you a question, turning your eyes away from me when I look at you. Diana, how do you feel about me. Really?"

"Zack... I have never met anyone like you, adult or teen. I... I am... in... love with you. I've said it, and oddly enough, I expected both Aphrodite and Zordon to get together and blast me with a high grade lightning bolt. Still, you're only 19, and you already have Angela... or do you?"

"Yeah. I finally managed to get her to see the real me. I've got this feeling that she's the one for me. Which brings us back to... you."

"Yes it does. Zack, I've dealt with the wildest and the worst that this world has to offer, and not once have I flinched. Yet, this conversation is tying my stomach into knits." It was at this point, a new song came on the cd system. Gloria Estefan's 'Heaven's What I Feel.'

"Figures," Diana said.

"Diana... you actually... oh, man! Look, we're still human beings, no matter what this job we do convinces us otherwise. I've learned that it's ok to have these thoughts, but also to know when to talk to the other person about them."

"Yes, but, Hera help me, I'm still afraid."

"Of what?"

"Of you, Zack. Of you. Because you are right here in the JLA, and so close..."

"You don't trust yourself?"

"That's the understatement of the year."

"Look, Diana. No one knows what's going to happen to them, or how they're gonna feel about someone. You have half of the male population of the world falling over themselves for you. I've become your focus, for some reason. I'm flattered, but, I'm just a friend. But, because of this talk, maybe we can be better friends. A little closer than most, but still, good friends."

As the two left the table, Diana told him, "Zack, you're very special. Angela's a lucky woman. Still, if she ever wrecks your heart..."

"Hey, you never know. Come on. Tommy's probably wondering where we are."

As Diana left the Youth Center with Zack, she knew he was right. No one could control how they would feel about someone. But, how you dealt with it, and what happened afterwards, that was in your hands.

_Even if these feelings do fade away completely, I will always love you for this moment, Zack Taylor. You really are one of a kind_ Diana thought to herself as they headed for the JLA Teleportation Booth and back to the Hall Of Justice.

Present:

"So…what's next?" Kimberly asked.

"I don't know. I hope a Happily Ever After." Wonder Woman 1 spoke.

Wonder Woman 2 looked over at the conversation between the three heroines and said to herself 'I truly hope so.'

Love sometimes ,can be like destiny, there's no way to say forever, you may not realize your dreams
But love some times, it's like the flowing wind, it can take us to forever, sending us on silent wings
But I have broken all the rules of love...I never dreamed that I could come this far...
And now I'm lost in my emotions, you're becoming my devotion
There's nothing I can do to stop this love for you...

I was not supposed to fall in love with you
I have someone else...and someone else is loving you
And I was not supposed to let this love get through (let love get through)

So let me say for real...heaven's what I feel when I'm with you...
This feeling is forever(It is forever...)
You make it feel like heaven
My love is true when I'm with you

How could I have known that in your eyes (in your eyes)
I would find the deepest answer to the questions of my heart
And how could I have known that by your side (by your side)
Was the light to fill the darkness And the shadows of my life

But I have broken all the rules of love
I never dreamed that I could come this far
And now I'm lost in my emotion…you're becoming my devotion
There's nothing I can do to stop this love for you...

I was not supposed to fall in love with you
I have someone else...and someone else is loving you
And I was not supposed to let this love get through (let love get through)
So let me say for real...heaven's what I feel..when I'm with you..

.
this feeling is forever…you make me feel like heaven, my love is true, when I'm with…

Heaven...Heaven...is what I feel when we're together
Heaven...Heaven...just look in my eyes and you'll see it's the truth...

I was not supposed to fall in love with you
I have someone else...and Someone else is loving you
And I was not supposed to let this love get through(let love get through)
So let me say for real...heaven's what I feel when I'm with you...
