Disclaimer: I don't own The Hunger Games or Power Rangers or Super Sentai.

Another hello to all of you! This story was written because it's been years since a Power Rangers season caught my eye again (the last was Operation Overdrive). So when Megaforce started airing last year, I realized how much I missed it. Then I saw a three sentence fic by melika-elena (if I'm not mistaken) on Tumblr and it just fueled my inspiration.


Blending and Balancing Colors

Madge sighs as she watches one of her favorite pink rangers, Emma Goodall, transform into the Pink Lost Galaxy Ranger. "It's like two of my favorite characters in one."

Gale tries his best to look interested in the show that his girlfriend is making him watch. The bowl of popcorn on his lap is half empty (by him, Madge couldn't tear her eyes away from the TV screen) and his drink needs a refill but Madge wouldn't let him up unless she has to get up, too.

After a few minutes, Madge turns to him with a huge smile on her face. "Hey, Gale…"

Gale doesn't even think about his answer. When Madge asks what color she would be if they were Power Rangers, he blurts out, "Pink. That's who you'll be."

Madge giggles a little. "You really think so?"

He nods. "What color would I be?"

"Hm," she huffs. "This is kinda hard." She looks at him from head to toe. "I'm having a hard time choosing between green and blue."

He frowns. "Not red?"

"I'm sorry, no," Madge answers, giggling. "I mean, you're…ugh, how do I say this?" She thinks for a while. "I kinda see you as the blue ranger but I've always thought of you as the green ranger."

"Why?" he asks.

Madge blushes and rubs her fingers together. "Well, you know I've always wanted to be the pink ranger because pink is my favorite color…and I've always thought that green and pink blended well together."

Gale smirks.

"I mean, I don't really like all the pink and green rangers together, out of all the seasons, there were only four green and pink rangers I wanted together—and that doesn't include Tommy and Kimberly," she explains. "But do you see how they blend together when you put them next to each other? Like—like…." She tries to think of the right words to say. "Um…"

Gale opens his mouth to speak but Madge stands up and looks for something in his desk. "What are you looking for?"

"Don't you have any green or pink colored pencils?" she asks. "You're an engineer!"

"I don't use green and pink," he replies, "I use darker ones, you know that."

She rolls her eyes and marches back to the couch. Her purse is on the single couch and she rummages through it before holding up the two colored pencils she'd been looking for. "And as a teacher, you should always be prepared." Madge sits back down beside Gale and shows the two pencils. "See? They look good together."

"Do they balance each other?" he asks, eyeing the pencils.

She shrugs as she puts the pencils on the coffee table in front of them. "I guess so. I personally like dark green and light or baby pink. Why?"

"Well, if you're going to be the pink ranger and I'm going to be the green ranger," he kisses her, "I think the colors should balance each other, not just blend well because of how they look." He leans his forehead on hers. "Don't you think?"

Madge cups his face and pulls his face closer to her. "Why don't we try and see?"

"First, you have to answer these questions," he says. "If you and I are the green and pink rangers, who would be the red, blue, yellow, black, white and sixth ranger?"

She laughs. "Okay, first of all, it' s very rare for there to be a black ranger when there's a green one, it only happened once so let's not think of that. Second, the white rangers are also kinda rare, they're also usually the sixth ranger, or in the Wild Force season, a counterpart for pink. Red would be Katniss because she'd seem like a good leader—you know, strategies. You and Peeta tie blue and green, Annie would be yellow because she gives us a sense of warmth, and Finnick would be the sixth ranger because he's cool."

"That's your reason for Finnick?" Gale raises his eyebrows. "Because he's cool?"

Madge shrugs. "Yeah, why not?"

"And you'd choose my best friend as the red ranger?" he continues. "But—"

"There have been two female red rangers, one was evil and the other was only there for like five episodes or so. There have also been two female leaders, one, a white ranger in a team filled with boys and another who was a pink ranger. So overall, there have been four female leaders and I believe Katniss can be the red ranger and a leader."

"And me and Dough-boy are tied?" he whines.

"Don't even start—"

"And Annie—"

"Oh, Gale," she stops him, "let's just remember that pink and green rangers of Panem blend and balance, okay?"


And there it is! I liked writing 'Lighten the Mood' more but I'm okay with this, too. I really just had to let this out. Any thoughts? I just asked my grandpa about the engineering pens and I learned from class about extra materials and how they can be useful.
