Mystic Nights
Disclaimer: I myself do not own Power Rangers(any of its seasons) or the Arabian Nights show.
A/n: I was going to put up my other Mystic Force fic but I couldn't find half of it. I wrote it a while back on the back pages of my script during rehearsals. Now I can't find it. So I decided to write this one instead. The other one was so good too. Anyway this is based on a show I went to see on my vacation two weeks ago in Orlando. My family and I went to this show called Arabian Nights. I thought it was an interesting story so I made a Mystic Force fic out of it. This fic will be set back during the time of the sultan's in Arabia. Like Aladdin!(don't own that either) I hope ya'll like it! Enjoy!
Chapter 1: The Storyteller's Words
Madison hummed to herself as she twirled around, kicking up the sand beneath her feet. The night air that cooled her skin seemed to dance with her. Under the desert moon Madison spun, leapt, and danced herself giddy. She couldn't help but smile at the fun she was having. Her fluid movements reflected the far away oceans she longed to see. Dancing was just the greatest to the young girl.
As her breathing began to get uneven, Madison dropped herself to sit in the sand. She let out a small laugh at the dust cloud she raised. A contented sigh left her lips and then silence grew around her. Madison smiled once again into the night.
Out of nowhere a far off sound reached the resting girls ears. It sounded like the jingling of tiny bells. Madison searched around for the origin of the sound as it grew louder. Suddenly she whipped her head back forward and looked up.
Pawing at the sand in front of her was a pure white horse. An extravagant saddle upon its back, the bells jingling from tassels adorned to the saddle. Sitting tall in said saddle was a young man with equaling as extravagant clothes. He had a dark caramel complexion with shinning black hair, and the most entrancing green eyes Madison had ever gazed into. Her mind told her instantly that the man upon the horse was a prince.
Without saying a word the prince lowered his had towards Madison who quickly got to her feet. She had a shy smile on her lips when she took his outstretched hand. Then she blushed pink as he pulled her onto the saddle behind him.
"Hold on tight," he whispered.
Madison wrapped her arms around the prince's waist and squeezed. Confirming she was on tightly, the young man urged his horse into a gallop. The two teens soared across the desert under a glowing moon.
The wind caught Madison's laughs in its grasp as the ride went on. Madison lost track of the time, only concentrating on clutching the prince. She was having the time of her life with the mysterious young man. Madison held on desperately to the wish that the moment would never cease. The exact time that had passed escaped Madison when at last the prince slowed.
Still wishing it was not the end, the giddy girl dismounted. She smiled up at the prince with a returning blush. He rewarded her with a smile of his own. Then without warning he turned the magnificent horse around and galloped away.
"Wait!" Madison yelled after the shrinking form of horse and rider. "What's your name?" The question was left unanswered and the sadden girl awoke from her wonderful dream.
Hearing her sister sigh, Vida walked over to the awakened Madison. Vida gracefully lowered herself to sit cross-legged next to her twin.
"Same dream again sis," Vida asked.
"Yeah. I was dancing out in the desert again during a beautiful night like tonight. Then out of the blue came that majestic white horse. Oh, and my prince was once again upon the horses saddle. We rode around for what felt like an entire lifetime. It was so wonderful sister! I just wish I could have gotten my prince's name before I awoke," Madison retold her dream.
"Oh Maddie. You're such a romantic."
"I just wish he were as real as he seems when I dream of him."
"That'd be so wonderful Maddie," their friend Claire added. "It's true love!"
"Maybe it will happen," another voice chimed in. "After all Phineaus and I found each other." Leelee and her boyfriend, Phineas, joined the others seated next to the fire. "He's such a little sweetie troblin!"
"Aw shucks," Phineas said. "You're just too smart and beautiful for me."
"You're all such saps!" Vida laughed.
"You want to find love just as much as we do sis," Maddie commented.
"Whatever," was V's response.
"Everyone dreams of discovering true love," an older man said as he walked over towards the group around the caravan's fire. "Love is the most wondrous of magics. It is truly powerful."
"Uncle Daggeron!" Madison smiled gleefully. "I'm so glad you're here! Tell us the story again! We all want to hear it!"
Daggeron gave a small smile to his adoptive niece. "But Maddie, you've heard it a thousand times."
"More like a thousand and one," commented his other adoptive niece.
"V. It's my favorite story. Let's just hear it one more time. Please," Madison begged her sister.
"Alright Maddie. But only because I'm outnumbered here."
"Listen carefully everyone," Daggeron instructed. The group around the fire leaned in and even some other members of the desert caravan stopped what they were doing to listen to the tale. "There once was a great king and a great sorcerer who ruled over a most magnificent kingdom. He was a wise, kind ruler and his people loved him. The whole land lived in great prosperity.
"Then an even more joyful day came when the queen bore two lovely daughters. The king was filled to the brim with happiness. But those days weren't to last. An evil prince who use to be one of the king's greatest allies began to fall into darkness.
"The prince became ruthless and corrupt. He sought more power. One day the evil prince appeared before the king and the queen and vowed he would take over the kingdom by capturing the princesses. Then the king's old friend rode away to gain more powerful so that he could make true his vow.
"Fearing for his daughters' safety the king told his most trusted friend and genie to take the princesses into the desert. Once their the genie could care for the two girls in secret. Then on their eighteenth birthday the genie would return them to the palace to be with their mother and father."
"What a wonderful story uncle Daggeron," Maddie sighed. "I wish I were a princess and then I could be with my prince."
"I'd just want to be one of those princesses so I could do magic like the king!" Vida grinned.
"Well maybe your wishes really will come true," Claire added brightly. "After all tomorrow is your guys' eighteenth birthday."
"Yeah," Leelee chimed in. "They say anything can happen on your eighteenth birthday."
"No matter what occurs tomorrow we still have to get some rest before then. All of us," Daggeron informed the young listeners. "I suggest we all get some sleep in our tents now." This was met by a groan from the group of friends.
Leelee stood first with Phineas right behind her. Claire was up a few seconds after. Vida rose and stretched her limbs. Then she held out her hand for Maddie.
"Thanks for telling us the story again Uncle Daggeron," Madison went to hug the smiling man.
"It was my pleasure."
"Goodnight Phineas," Leelee whispered shyly to her boyfriend who went off to his tent.
"Goodnight, uh, Leelee my dear," said the troblin.
Claire gave a little wave as she too went towards her tent, "Sleep tight Maddie. Goodnight V."
"See you guys tomorrow," Leelee smiled.
Then it was just the twins and Daggeron left. The girls both hugged their uncle to say their goodnights. After a yawn from Vida the three split up for some rest.
"Have a good night's sleep you two. Tomorrow promises to be a blissful day," Daggeron swore to his two young nieces.
