A few days after their latest adventure, the rangers, Billy, Todd, and David were hanging out at the youth center.
"Man, I can not believe the semester is almost over and Christmas Break will be here soon," Tommy said.
"Yea I know. Our senior year is flying by," Adam said.
"Speaking of Christmas Adam, do you have a date to the Christmas Dance?" Tanya asked.
"No, I have not asked anyone either," he said.
"Well how about you Billy?" She asked.
"Negative," he said.
"What about you Rocky?" Tanya asked.
"My answer is the same as Billy's and Adam's," he said.
"Don't tell me you have not asked anyone yet Jason," she said.
"You will be surprise to know that I am taking Emily to the dance," he said.
"Good for you," the girls told him.
"I already know who Todd and Tommy are taking," she said.
"Now, if you, Todd, and Tommy could help these three, I think they will have a date if they want one," she said to Jason pointing to Rocky, Adam, and Billy.
"What about you miss want's to know who is taking who?" Rocky said with a smirk.
"Well, I would be going with Shawn but that is not the case since we broke up," she said.
"Has anyone asked you yet?" David asked.
"No not yet," she replied.
I still have a chance to ask her. Adam thought.
David looked down at his watch and told everyone that he is leaving as they told him bye. Shortly there after, the rest of the group started to leave, but not before Adam pulled Tommy off to the side.
"Um, hey Tommy can I ask you a question in private?" He asked.
"Yea, sure man," Tommy said as the two of them headed to the empty hallway which they use to teleport from.
"What's up man?" He asked.
"I need you advice on something. I want to ask Tanya to the dance, but I do not know how, or when, to ask her," Adam said.
"Well, I can tell you the best time not to ask her is during a monster attack," he said kind of sarcastically.
"Very funny," Adam replied giving him a serious look.
"I think the best time and place to ask her is when you two are alone so no one can bug you," Tommy said.
"You mean like Rocky?" Adam asked.
"I mean nobody, not even him, Bulk, or Skull," Tommy said.
"Yea I got you, by the way, those two have been awfully quiet lately," he said.
"I guess they have decided to leave us alone," Tommy said.
"Thanks man you have helped me out a lot," Adam said as he slapped Tommy's hand.
"Hey man no problem," Tommy said as they left the youth center.
Tommy caught up with Kim outside as they walked to his house.
"So what did Adam want to talk to you about?" Kim asked.
"I don't know that I should tell you, he may kick my but if I told you and he found out," Tommy said.
"He asked you for advice on how to ask someone to the dance didn't he?" Kim asked.
"Yes, but I will not tell you anymore," he said.
"That's fine, but I think he should ask Tanya to the dance," she said.
"You think so?" Tommy asked being careful not to tell her who Adam wants to ask.
"Yes, in the short time I have been a ranger again, I really like her and I think they will be good for each other. Not that there was anything wrong with Aisha, but it seems strange how Aisha passed her powers onto Tanya," she said.
"That was a strange time for all of us," he said as they reached his house.
The two of them got to his house just in time for dinner,Tommy's mom asked Kim if she wanted to stay. She said that she would like to. She stayed for an hour after dinner.
"The next day, at school, Adam asked everyone if they like to hang out at the lake after school. Everyone agreed to it while Tommy thought that Adam might ask Tanya there. Kim was starting to think that Adam was going to ask Tanya. When everyone arrived, they saw that a local church had peddled boat rides for five dollars. The money raised would go to Toy's for Tots.
"Boat rides in December?" Kat asked.
"I am guessing they are taking advantage of the slightly warmer temperatures," Billy said.
Adam asked Tanya if she wanted to go for a ride she said yes. The two of them paid five dollars then they put on life jackets before they got in. They were the only ones on the lake, at the time, when Adam started to ask her to the dance but their boat tipped over and the two of them were in the water. After they got out of the water they home to change. An hour later, Adam and Tanya arrived at the youth center at the same time.
"Um hey Tanya um would like to go to the Christmas Dance with me?" Adam asked after he looked around making sure nobody was around.
"Sure I love to," she said with a smile as the two of them walked in together.
"Has Rocky made it here yet," Tanya asked Kat.
"No not yet," she said.
"Well, now all we have to do is find a date for him and Mr. Billy here," Tanya said putting her hands on Billy's shoulders.
"You asked her?" Tommy asked.
"I sure did," Adam said relived and with big smile.
"I knew you would," Kim said.
"You told her?" Adam asked Tommy as he got out of his seat in shock.
"Not exactly, she figured it out on her own," he said as Adam sat back down.
"Your order is on the house my friend," Ernie said after he walked up behind Adam's seat and looked down at him.
"Thanks Ernie," an embarrassed Adam said.
"Anytime," Ernie said.
A short time later, Rocky walked in then the group hung out at the youth center for a little bit until they all went home.
A few days later, the girls went shopping at the mall as none of the guys wanted to go with them.
"Hopefully this will be a quiet day," Kim said.
"I agree," Kat said.
While the girls were shopping, the guys had plans of their own. Tommy went to visit David, Jason went to spend time with Emily, Billy, was doing some homework, and Adam and Rocky were sparing at the youth center.
On the moon, Zedd was still bitter about his attempt to get rid of Christmas last year.
"If it wasn't for those pesky power brats, nobody would be celebrating Christmas this year!" He said.
"Do you have to remind us?" Rita asked.
"No, but I hate this time of year just as much as I hate those teenagers," he said.
"So what are you going to do this year master?" Goldar asked.
"I do not know yet," Zedd said.
"Finally Friday night had come. Billy and Rocky did not have a date but they went to the dance anyways. Todd and Adam showed up at Kat's house at the same time while Tommy picked up Kim and everyone met at the youth center at 7:00.
"Good thing Ernie volunteered to have the dance at the youth center instead of it being in the gym," Tommy said to Kim on there way as she agreed.
The youth center was nicely decorated for the dance. Ernie put some wreaths, Christmas lights were on the bar and on the tables, garlands were hung on the walls, snow globes were scatted about, stockings were hung on the wall, and he put some mistletoe up in a corner. He even had Christmas themed paper plates, red and green napkins, and red and green drinking cups.
Ernie hired a local radio station to DJ the dance. He played a lot of Christmas songs, some current songs, and some slow songs. Alpha teleported down to take in the mood, he tried to stay out of sight by staying in the locker area the rangers teleport from. Tommy, Todd, and Adam danced all of the slow dances with their dates, while Rocky and Billy sat at a table and talked about the up coming Christmas Break, until Trini asked Billy for a dance. He said yes. The last song of the night was "I'll be home for Christmas". As Adam and Tanya danced to it their heads slowly went towards each other and they kissed each other on the lips. Tommy and Kim along with Todd and Kat kissed also, but everyone figured that they would.
