come feed the rain

So, awhile ago, I was watching Power Rangers Lightspeed Rescue and had an "omg, I am SO old" moment when I saw Carter and Joel listening to a portable CD player. In their car. I didn't really think much of it beyond my initial "wtf" reaction, but when I watched Linkara's recap, Linkara made some comment along the lines of "Apparently Miss Fairweather couldn't be bothered to include a CD player in the Rescue Rover," and a story idea was born...

Originally, this was supposed to explain why Miss Fairweather didn't put a CD player in the Rescue Rover. Then it sort of evolved into a story about the Rangers' music tastes, coupled with a Dana/Carter romance and apparently some Ryan angst thrown in. I... don't really know what happened.

Anyway.

Title: Somewhere Over the Rainbow
Fandom: Power Rangers (Lightspeed Rescue)
Characters: Dana, Carter, Joel, Kelsey, Chad
Rating: PG
Summary: Joel is horrified to discover that Miss Fairweather hasn't included a CD player in the Rescue Rover. When he finds a portable one, Dana is reluctantly conscripted into burning a CD for the team.
Note: Keep in mind... Lightspeed Rescue aired in 2000. Which means, no iTunes for these poor Rangers! I mean, we're dealing with boomboxes here, guys.

( What does 'dig in the dancing queen' mean? )

( Oh, and there's also a soundtrack )

This is what I do when I should be working on my research paper.
