Author's Note: Hey, I had a sudden urge to write this at 2:30 in the morning… don't ask me why. I had just watched Long Ago and I was like, "Hey, why not write this?" It should be a two-shot or a three-shot. Most likely a three-shot. Possibly a four-shot. Do we even have four-shots? Thanks for reading my strange and odd urge to write. (I also kinda got the whole mom/frog thing from another fic I've read. So, that doesn't really belong to me, but let's face it: many people have probably said it. :) I don't own Power Rangers, either… but that's in my profile.)
The Rocca twin's mom always said that they'd have to kiss many frogs to find their prince.
Madison Rocca didn't think that she'd actually be kissing an actual frog.
You know. Despite the fact that she hated frogs.
It wasn't that she didn't like Daggeron—she did. He saved her life. That's as good a reason to like anyone. But, as Vida pointed out earlier, he was many years older than her.
"I know that, V," Maddie scoffed, her cheeks turning a bright red. They were in the Rockporium, doing their night shift. Nick, Chip, and Xander were messing around up at the front of the store, while Maddie and Vida manned the register.
Vida propped her elbows up onto the counter and placed her head into her hands. "Just making sure, sis," the older of the Rocca twins said. "And besides; I don't think mom actually meant for you to go and kiss a frog."
Maddie's face broke out into a smile. "I hadn't planned on it!"
Just then, Nick, Chip, and Xander joined them. "Planned on what?" Nick asked.
"Kissing a frog," Vida said in a teasing voice.
Maddie ducked her head, her cheeks turning even redder. She peeked through her hair at Nick, whose face had suddenly darkened over.
"Well, Maddie might've found her prince!" Xander declared in the same teasing voice as Vida. Maddie's elbow shot out and caught Xander in the ribs. He faked hurt as he rubbed the spot where Maddie had elbowed him.
Maddie wrinkled her nose in disgust. "He's so much older than me!" she said. She glanced to Nick, and saw that relief seemed to have passed over his face. Well, she didn't know if she could call it relief. His face wasn't as dark anymore, at any rate.
"But you are 18," Chip said. He too had adopted a teasing voice. "That's makes you completely legal."
"No, Chip," Maddie said crossly. She was beginning to get annoyed with their teasing. She promptly turned on her heel and stalked to the employee lounge, intent on staying in there for at least a half an hour. If they were teasing her, the least she could do was make them feel guilty. She smiled to herself as she swung the door shut, immediately going over to the couch.
She didn't notice the foot that stuck itself between the door and the doorframe.
"You must be pretty pissed."
Maddie's head snapped up. There stood Nick, looking slightly sheepish. She smiled at him warmly.
"Not at you," she said.
Nick broke out into a grin, all sheepishness gone. He sat down next to Maddie and kicked his feet up on the coffee table.
"So…" Nick said. He turned his body so he was facing Maddie. "What made you do it?"
Maddie studied Nick. What would make him say that? She found herself shrugging her shoulders instead of actually saying something. She honestly didn't know why she had done it. She hated frogs. Why would she go and pick up one of those slimy… smelly… disgusting… things? Let alone put her lips on it.
Nick nodded his head. "Right." He stood up and walked to the door. He stopped with his hand on the knob, looking at Maddie. She was staring straight ahead, studying the blank TV screen. Nick's brow furrowed in thought as he pulled the door open and left, leaving Maddie alone.
She sighed. Her mom had told her that she was going to have to kiss a lot of frogs.
Too bad the one she kissed wasn't her prince.
Author's Note: There we go. The first chapter. There might be a little action in this instead of sappy fluff stuff, so this shouldn't be entirely too boring. Thanks for reading!
