Sacred Emotion
by Carl Turner
3 days after Astronema’s attempted invasion of Earth was cut down by the JLA and 3 new Ranger teams, Superman thought that the Morphin Rangers needed some down time. Zordon agreed, and for the next 2 weeks, Jason, Trini, Zack, Kimberly, Tommy, Samantha, & Billy were on leave from the JLA. Zordon also decided to let them have rest from any Ranger-related business.
Tommy Oliver & Kimberly Hart had decided to go on a picnic, just the 2 of them, so they could have a long talk about their future. Tommy seemed really nervous, especially when he asked her: “Where do you think we’ll be in 5-6 years?”
“Well, given the way the world is, I think we’ll still be fighting bad guys with the JLA, and…”
“No, no, I meant the 2 of us. Where will we be at that time?”
Kimberly nibbled on a piece of fried chicken and said “The only thing that I know for sure is that there is no one else for me. I see the 2 of us together in 6, 18, 22, hell, 95 years. I can’t imagine anyone else in your place. There are no reservations on how I feel about you, and no one can, or will ever take your place. Now and forever, you are the only one for me.”
Tommy smiled, eyes twinkling. “I feel empty when you’re away from me. You are my sun in my universe. When I came to Angel Grove almost 4 years ago, you, Jason, Zack, Trini, & Billy were the first people here to welcome me here. Then Rita tried to spoil it by making me her evil Green Ranger…”
“Please, don’t remind me. Thankfully, we were able to break that spell, and you became one of us, and then one week later, Samantha joined the team. For a long time, those 2 were inseperable. I’m just sorry it had to end for them like that. I remember Jason took it really hard.”
“Yeah, and having to do Aquaman away didn’t help matters for him. I am so glad Jamie came along when she did. As for Samantha, you won’t believe who she’s dating. Skull.”
Kimberly almost choked on her Cherry Pepsi. “SKULL? The guy who drove us nuts? The same guy who she delighted in embarrassing every chance she got? That Skull? NO WAY!”
“I know what you mean, it shocked the hell out of me, too.
Getting the conversation back on track, Kimberly asked “Tommy, you seem to have something on your mind. What is it?”
“Well, in the past 4 years, I’ve learned that you shouldn’t put limits on anything in your life, and that there is absolutely NOTHING worth watching on MTV anymore…”
“TOMMY!”
“…seriously, Kimberly, I’ve never felt this way about anyone else. I realise that we probably won’t be doing this for a long while yet, but…man, I can’t seem to get the words to come out of my mouth. Kim…” Tommy’s throat got as dry as the Sahara.
Kimberly giggled. Tommy was definitely cute when embarressed. “Take it easy, Tommy.”
The words suddenly came, and he rushed right through them. “KIMILOVEYOUWILLYOUMARRYME?”
“First, slow down. Second, did you just ask me what I think you just asked me?
Tommy’s voice squeaked for a minute, then returned to normal. “Yes, that’s exactly what I asked. I’m betting the rest of my life on your answer, but if you need to think about it, please, go right ahead.”
“There’s nothing to think about, I don’t need to think about it. Yes, I will marry you, Thomas Kenneth Oliver. You won’t believe this, but I was considering asking you to marry me.”
With that, Tommy pulled out a antique diamond ring, and put it on Kimberly’s finger. “Your mother’s ring! Oh, Tommy, this must have cost a fortune.”
“Hey, if you’re worth it, you’re worth it.”
The 2 then shared a very passioniate kiss, and held each other, daydreaming about their future together. * * *
SACRED EMOTION
DONNY OSMOND
There’s a candle,deep in my window, and it’s burning brighter tonight,
Through the storm and the winds of change, I’m sure that you will see the light,
I never wandered, I never gave up, ’cause a true heart never goes astray,
Whatever road that you take will lead you back to me, ’cause our love is too strong to slip away
Like a river flowing into the ocean I can feel you coming back to me
’cause our love is like a sacred emotion, and it’s burning bright for the whole world to see
It won’t be long before I hear that knock on your door, that telephone call,
And if your journey takes you far away, I’ll still catch you when you fall,
Love’s like a wheel turning round and round, the feeling fades but never dies,
There’ll never be any question, or a doubt in my mind, ’cause the answer’s right there in your eyes,
Like a river flowing into the ocean I can feel you coming back to me,
’cause our love is like a sacred emotion, and it’s burning bright for the whole world to see
Bring it on back to me
Whatever road that you take will lead you back to me, ’cause our love is too strong to slip away
Like a river flowing into the ocean I can feel you coming back to me,
’cause our love is like a sacred emotion and it’s burning bright for the whole world to see
I feel you coming back to me
Like a river flowing into the ocean I can feel you coming back to me,
’cause our love is like a sacred emotion and it’s burning bright for the whole world to see.
