I came up with this on a whim cause of a comment off of Code Busters (I think) when Vida goes "We should save them, even Xander!". I have a thing for Green Rangers...sue me.

It had started with a comment none of them thought he'd heard. He'd been cleaning some of the CD cases and the Yellow and Pink Rangers had been behind it, giggling about something. He'd been about to ask what was going on when she'd said it.

"Man, sometimes Maddy and I think we'd be better off with a Hidiac as the Green Ranger." Came Vida's laughing voice.

"Oh I know, if he introduces himself to one more villain, Nick and I are gonna smack him." Chip's voice was next, which burst them both into giggles once more.

Xander's face paled, looking down as his friendly greeting was caught in his throat. Dropping the rag he was using, he turned on his heel, stomping his way from the store. Nick blinked as he watched the Green Ranger leave in such a huff. He moved over to Madison, who was stocking a nearby shelf.

"What's got him in a huff?" He asked, hopping up on the counter and sitting down.

"Who?" Maddy asked, looking up from her daze.

"Xander! He just stormed out of here, looked like someone had kicked him in the stomach."

Maddy frowned, looking towards where Xander had been cleaning. Just then Chip and Vida popped up, still giggling.

"Hey guys! You know why Xander just up and left? He was over there cleaning." Nick said, watching the two go from happy to alarmed in about two seconds.

"He was…over here?" Chip gulped.

"Just now?" Vida continued.

"Yeah, he was cleaning over there cause I had to stock the shelves here, what happened?" Maddy tilted her head to the side, wondering why her sis and Chip looked so concerned.

"Maddy! We were…we were talking. We were, well we were making fun of him." Chip answered, flushing almost the color of his bright red hair.

Nick blinked, narrowing his eyes "Why would you do that?" he asked, hopping off the counter.

"We didn't know he was there! I was just telling Chip of our conversation last night, on the phone." Vida explained, grabbing up the rag Xander had dropped and moving over to them.

"We have to find him and apologize." Chip stated, looking towards the door.

"Right, before he gets himself hurt." Nick added, frowning. He was concerned about Xander, in the scheme of things he wasn't Nick's all time favorite person, but he'd still saved him a few times, and for all his quirks he was an awesome fighter, and a good friend.

"Come on guys." Madison said, heading from the store, the owner sighing as he watched his workers leave him once again.
