Disclaimer: This story was inspired and adapted from season 1 of the TV show, "One Tree Hill. Neither "One Tree Hill" nor "Power Rangers" belongs to me. Some parts of "Saving Me" may be slightly AU at points, but the story's intent is to remain true to the spirit of the Mystic Force series.
Paired videos have not been made specifically to go along with story, but are ones that I happen to come across on the site that I think fit the action and/or mood of that specific fan fic well.
Chapter 9: I Want Them, I Want You

(A few minutes later
Madison's stomach had major butterflies fluttering around as she drove her sister's car toward Nick's to confess her feelings for him and admit she was wrong about saying they shouldn't be together. And now, as Madison got out the jeep at his house, those butterflies were really whipping up a storm. She nervously pulled down her white tank top underneath her tight, sky blue, velvet hoddie. Knocking on Nick's front door, Madison couldn't believe after all this time and so many missed changes, they were finally about to get together at last.
"I think the pizza's here," she heard Nick from behind the closed door to someone else inside the house. "Oh, Maddie," he said after opening the door, looking surprised to see her there.
"Hey," greeted Madison, feeling equally surprised to see Nick shirtless at the entrance to his home. "I heard about Xander and Vida's fight," she offered lamely, pulling on a strand of her long, loose brown locks as she tried to avoid looking at Nick's chiseled body to calm the heat rising in her cheeks.
"Those two will be alright," reassured Nick as he wiped his hands on his faded jeans. "So… what's up?" he asked after a short paused, which Madison translated to mean, 'Why are you at my house unannounced?'
"Nick, I made a mistake," began Madison in a rush, finally meeting his gaze as she scuffed her white sandals together nervously on his doorstep. "When you said you loved me the night you saved me at Ben's party and then when you said you wanted to be with me at the Rock Porium, I got, I got scared, because of what I had been through with Ben, and I was afraid of getting betrayed again by someone who said they cared for me but…"
"Maddie…" began Nick hesitantly, but stopped when she held up her hand. "But, you're not Ben, and the truth is, I want all the same things that you want, I do," continued Madison urgently as she shoved her hands in the pockets of her dark jeans. "And I want them with you."
Before Nick could respond, they both heard footsteps coming from behind him inside the house and spun around. Seeing a girl emerge – some of whose outer layers clothes were clearly missing as well, Madison's butterflies immediately turned to lead which caused her stomach to plummet. All she could do was just stare at the blonde inside Nick's house, wearing in tight jeans and low-cut black tank top as some of curls had come loose from her ponytail.
"OK motorcycle boy, you ready to go for a ride?" the girl asked Nick teasingly. "Oh hey," she greeted, finally noticing Madison. "Maddie…" said Nick again, looking at her apologetically.
Yet all Madison could do was stare taken aback at the scantily-clad girl inside Nick's house.
It was Leelee.
