I hate these as much as anyone else, but here goes: I do not own the Power Rangers or any characters in connection with them. I am making no money. I wrote this fan fic because of a dance I went to a while ago. I met up with a friend that I hadn't seen in a while, and we had big talks. It kind of reminded me of Tommy and Kim's situation, so here we go. Enjoy!

Something About the Way You Look Tonight
by: Cricker

Tommy watched as the couples got up from their tables to dance. He knew almost all of them, graduated with them 10 years earlier. The song was slow and romantic, making Tommy feel a little pang of jealousy.

there was a time
I was everything and nothing all in one
when you found me
I was feeling like a cloud across the sun

He watched all of his old friends, married now with such love in their eyes. Billy and Kat, Adam and Tanya, Jason and Emily just to name a few. They all had someone.

I need to tell you
how you light up every second the day
but in the moonlight

He drained the last of his drink, and was about to get up to leave when he saw her.

you just shine like a beacon on the bay

She had come in from off the terrace, her brown hair hanging down around her face. Nothing about her had changed, and he watched as she took a few steps down the stairs.

and I can't explain
but it's something about the way
you look tonight

She was wearing a light pink dress that hung just above her knees. Her jewelry sparkled in the light, and he couldn't help but look for the tell tale diamond on her left hand

takes my breath away

There wasn't one.

Its that feeling I get about you deep inside

He sat back in the chair, his senses kicking in. She couldn't be available. Any second Mr. Right would come sauntering in and she would jump into his arms.

and I can't describe
but its something about the way you look tonight
takes my breath away
the way you look tonight

When she got to the bottom of the stairs, she tucked her hair behind her ear, and waved to the others. Tommy stood as they all rushed to greet her. Taking his time, he neared them, every fiber of his being telling him to turn and run. Then she smiled.

with a smile

His heart skipped a beat as he realized she had seen him, and his feet felt like lead. Their eyes locked, and neither of them moved.

you pull the deepest secrets from my heart

The lights dimmed, and the many candles cast a warm glow. She started past the others, and Tommy took a deep breath.

In all honesty
I'm speechless and I don't know where to start.

They didn't speak a word as she reached him, but they didn't have to. He slipped an arm around her slight waist, realizing how much he had missed this. With his other hand he took hers, and pulled her into a close embrace.

and I can't explain
but it's something about the way
you look tonight

The room spun around them, and he felt like they were the only two people in the room. She laid her head on his shoulder, the smell of her perfume reaching his senses.

takes my breath away

Nothing seemed to matter anymore. At that moment, Tommy Oliver's world was perfect.

Its that feeling I get about you deep inside

She pulled away slightly, and he couldn't help but panic a little. He had lost her once...

and I can't describe
but its something about the way you look tonight
takes my breath away
the way you look tonight

The lights came up again, and people clapped as they returned to their tables. Another song came on, but Tommy didn't even notice. With her hand in his, he followed her out onto the terrace. The night air was cool, and she shivered a little.

"Tommy?"

He placed his jacket over her shoulders, and she leaned back against him. He wrapped his arms around her tightly.

"Yeah?"

The stars sparkled above them as a shooting star streaked across the moonlit sky

"We need to talk,"

He turned her around gently and looked into her eyes. From that moment on, all of his fears were gone. He never let her go again.
