I don't own anything about the story except Stacy .

At the RockPorium days were all the same since Nick had left Briarwood to meet his adoptive parents and tell them that he had found his biological ones.

Vida was always at her beloved consol with Matumbo, who was learning how to be a good Dj from the best in town. Chip was the entertainer of the shop: he became the story-teller of the adventures of the mystic Force. He obviously added details and use his excitement to narrate , but you know, stories are better if told with passion (and he got lot of it). Xander was always supervising on the old and the new shop-assistants, human and not. He was always ready to help girls to find the right Cd to listen to, maybe with him.

And then there was Madison. She was always ready to film her friends with her camera, always ready to help costumers, and always waiting for Nick to come back. They called each other a couple of times since Nick had left Briarwood, three months ago. They talked about everything: the weather, the RockPorium, Rootcore, friends, but they never talked about their feelings. They both missed each other, but they both didn't expect anything from the other. Madison was waiting for her best friend to come home, maybe a new lover, but first a friend. The courage she needed to ask him to come back to her had left her since he left her with the red blanket. She considered it a promise to come back to a place that he now knew as home, not a promise to live together forever.

At Rootcore Clare, become a powerful Sorceress, was now teaching young magical creatures the basics of magic. The four Power Rangers were often there to practice their magic and sometimes teach too. After the defeat of the Master they continued to improve their powers, just in case, you never know.

Daggeron was living in RootCore too, teaching the art of swords of Mystic Knights. He and Jengii were taking care of FireHeart, waiting for his owner to come back .

' Sis, you've got mail!' V was holding a letter in her hands, looking at it with curiosity.

'oh, thanks Sis.' Now the letter was in her hands and the curiosity was hers. Her name was written in red ink, a familiar writing, Nicks'. She opened the envelope and took the letter out. A piece of paper came out the envelope and fell down. Madison saw it and grab it: a map. She was surprised, then she started reading the letter, maybe she would have found something to let her understand.

'Dear Maddy, how are you?

Long time since we didn't hear each other.

I'm having a strange holyday here at home with both my biological and adoptive parents. It's weird to have them together, talking about my childhood, my growing, my life past and future. Udonna and Lianbow are learning everything about my past from my adoptive family, and I'm starting to know them as a couple first and as parents of course.

Everything seems to be perfect, except for one thing: my friends.

I really miss you all much, and I would like to see you asap , but I'd like to stay here longer, to taste this emotions more and more. Then I came to a conclusion: why don't you all come here next week-end? The map will show you how to come here, and Family Russel will put you up in his house. What do you think? I hope you'll like the idea and decide to join me and my family. I really miss you Maddy , I miss my best friend, I miss my favourite chocolate eyes. Let me met them soon.

Hope to hear soon from you, you know my number well, your Nick'

That was REALLY unexpected, really! Madison looked at Vida, who was captured by the gaze of her sister while she was reading the letter.

'What's wrong Sis? Bad news? Is that Granma?' Vida was a little worried and she spoke in a loud voice, which captured Chips' attention.

'Any problem girls? Maddy? ' he said, coming closer to the Rocca sisters.

'It's Nick' said Madison in a whisper 'He wants us to reach him at his parents' house this week-end'.

'Well, this is a very good news, we could meet our mate again' said Xander from behind Vida 'except for the fact that we work in the week-end'.

'Oh, come on Xander' said the Pink head witch 'We can leave the shop for one day without causing it's destruction! The new shop assistants are doing a good job, they can do it even without our.. I mean… your supervising! When will come another occasion?'.

'V is right. Who is for the journey? Hands up!' Chip was excited, he was already wondering about a new adventure, full of mystery and suspense.

Chip, Vida and then Madison had their hands up, moving them in circle like three little children who needed attention, smiles on their faces. Madison's smile was happier than the others, if possible. She didn't expected that letter, that invitation, that allusion to her eyes. He was missing her more than as a friend, like she was.

'All right, all right. Mates, we have to organise. I will take care about the planning of the shifts here at RockPorium, hoping that nothing wrong will happen while I'm not here. V, you will have to prepare your car, fuel, music…you're the only one who can take us there except magic. Chip: food and drinks for the journey. And then ….Maddy…. ehm…prepare your best dress! You're gonna meet your love again!' Maddy blushed as she heard last Xander 's words. Were her feelings so easy to see?

Everyone finished his shift at the RockPorium, Chip's turn to close up the shop. The whole group was exited to leave Briarwood for a while, and of course see Nick again.

That night Madison decided to call Nick to inform him about their decision and talk to him about his feelings. She dialled the well known number and she waited for Nick to pick up the phone.

'Hello, Nick, is that you?' Madison said as she heard someone answer the phone.

'Who are you?' a little voice came from the receiver.

'I am Madison and you are…?'.

'Mama told me I don't have to talk to strangers'.

'And it's right but, I am a friend of Nick, I'm not a stranger . Let me guess, you must be Stacy, aren't you?' Nick told her many times about her little niece from his oldest brother Jason.

' How do you know my name? Are you a magician?'

' Well in a certain way….' Madison was laughing. Stacy's voice was so sweet. 'Isn't it too late for you to stay up? Shouldn't you be in bed right now?'.

'Yes, but uncle Nick promised to tell me a story, with fairies, knights and a Mermaid princess'. Stacy said it with excitement.

'Oh, I know, a Mermaid Princess, very nice' Madison was blushing.

'Now I have to go, uncle is coming. Bye-bye Madison' and she closed the conversation.

'No Stacy, wait!' but it was too late. Madison looked at her phone, she didn't manage to talk to Nick. As she was moving to her room the phone started ringing.

'Hello?' Madison answered.

'Hi Maddy, it's Nick! I'm sorry, my niece Stacy rubbed my phone and I couldn't answer. Did she entertain you well?'.

'Hi Nick, happy to hear your voce. Yes, she did. She told my about her favourite story, the one about a Mermaid Princess' and she made a grin.

'Did she?... Oh well…I'm gonna have a conversation with my niece later…. So…ehm…did you receive my invitation?' Nick was trying to change argument, he felt a little embarrassed.

'Yes, I did and after a close meeting with the others we decided to accept your invitation and join you. We will leave at 6 am and it will take a few hours before we will arrive'.

'I can't wait to see you again Maddy…. well, you and the rest of the team of course…..most of all you. I missed you so much, our conversations, your camera, your eyes '. He was nervous. He didn't want to tell Madison about his feelings on the phone, but words came out freely. 'Tomorrow we'll be together again'.

Madison blushed listening to his words. She took a deep breath as she started to talk.

'I miss you too Nick, so much you'll never know. Days are so boring without you. There is always something…..someone missing'. She paused for a few seconds, then she spoke again 'Now it's better if I have some sleep. Tomorrow I will wake up very early. Good night Nick'. Her voice was a whisper.

'Good night Maddy, see ya tomorrow, finally '. Then he closed the conversation.

Madison closed the morpher/phone, she put it closer to her chest and grin: she told him that she missed him, how did she find the courage? She went into her room and she sat on the bed , happy. She lied on her bed, wearing the clothes she had that day, and closed her eyes. Tomorrow she would have seen Nick, tomorrow she would have revealed her feeling for him. Tomorrow it would have been the right day.

A/N So, did I make lots of mistakes? Did you understand the story? Do you want me to go on with it? Please, review, to tell me everything, about the story and the english. I know that the story isn't good, but it's my first one and I am proud of it, after all. Thanks to everyone who read it. Dany
