My first Mystic force fic. It's a slash so if you don't like M/M slashes please don't read. If you do read on and enjoy. Nick/Xander

Chapter 1 Crush

Xander sat in the chair, "supervising" his fellow Rangers work, as he read a magazine. Except his mind wasn't on the magazine he was reading. His mind was stuck on the one person he had the hots for: Nick. Once in a while he would peek over the magazine and watch Nick for short periods of time, who he noticed was now lifting a box full of new releases. Xander took in a deep breath as he watched Nick walk off to the back of the store.

"Are you okay?" Chip asked, causing Xander to jump in his seat. It took a moment for his heart to calm down.

"What are you doing, sneaking up me like that?" Xander asked as he placed the magazine on his lap.

Chip gave Xander a strange look. "Is everything alright?" he asked, taking a seat next to him.

Xander rubbed his eyes and answered, "Yeah. Why do you ask?"

Chip just crossed his arms. "It seems that your brain is focusing on something else, and you're not even trying to hide it."

Xander took a moment to answer Chip. For one thing, he wasn't sure how to answer him. Chip already knew that Xander was gay, but he didn't know that he had a crush on Nick.

"It's Nick?" Chip asked. Xander was in shock; Chip guessed what he was thinking. Chip tilted his head and looked at Xander. After a moment, Xander regained himself and answered him.

"Yes. How did you know?" Xander asked in amazement.

Chip gave Xander a warm smile and said, "I can read minds." This caused Xander to laugh.

"Knowing you, I wouldn't doubt it," Xander said as he leaned back in his seat.

After a moment of silence, Chip asked, "So are you going to ask him out?"

Xander sighed. "Nope."

Chip crossed his arms. "Why not?"

Xander sat up and said, "For one thing, I don't know if he feels the same way about me as I do. Plus, it could ruin our friendship if I tell him that I like him as more than a friend." Chip gave a nod of his head to show he understood.

"So what are you going to do about it?"

Xander thought for a moment, then an idea struck him. He jumped out of his seat and threw his magazine at Chip.

"Where are you going?" Chip asked after removing the magazine from his face, but Xander didn't answer; he was already at the door.

"Where are you going!" Toby yelled after him from his office.

Xander turned around and said, "I need to do something very important. Be back in a few." Then he ran out of the music store, leaving behind two very confused people.

Xander ran up to the tree and after a quick look around, touched the tree and disappeared. After a few seconds, he found himself outside of Root Core dressed in his uniform and cloak, but he didn't have time to stand around.

He walked into the dragon's mouth. After a minute of walking, he found himself in their command center. Xander quickly looked around the place and found it empty, just as he hoped.

He quickly made his way to the library and rapidly scanned the shelves. After a good five minutes of looking, he found the book he was looking for. He hurriedly pulled the book off the shelf and opened it up, and after period of time he found the spell he was looking for.

Xander pulled a notepad from his pocket and wrote the spell down. After that was done, he returned the book to its spot and raced out of the command center before Udonna and Clare came out of the back room while talking about Clare's latest mistake.

When Xander was outside, he leaned against a tree, breathing hard and smiling. At last, he had a way to tell Nick how he felt about him. Xander then placed his hand against the tree and teleported back to the record shop to try out his new spell.
