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.

Nick was hooking up with Leelee.
Madison wouldn't have believed it if she had heard it from someone else, considering Nick had just told her a few hours ago inside the Rock Porium that he did love her and wanted to be with her. But standing in Nick's doorway, finding him shirtless and Leelee's upper half also scantily clad in just a low-cut black tank top, Madison couldn't deny the facts. She just couldn't decide which she felt worse about: confessing her own feelings at last for Nick when he had already moved on or just here she was literally face-to-face with another blown opportunity to be with the boy she had really wanted all along.
"Maddie… " repeated Nick; his voice sounding hoarse this time as his eyes scanned back and forth between her and Leelee.
"No, I'm… I'm sorry," chocked out Madison. "I'm sorry for interrupting, Nick. Leelee."
Madison spun around so that Nick wouldn't see the tears in her eyes. As she hurried down his front steps, Madison realized that she hadn't known exactly how much she felt for Nick until this moment when she realized she had lost him for good to another girl. Why hadn't see figured out sooner that she too was in…
At that moment, Madison heard her cell phone start to ring just as she reached the last step. Pausing, Madison pulled the cell from her pocket and flipped it open. Glancing back up at Nick's house, she saw with surprise that Nick and Leelee were still in the doorway watching her.
"Hello?" answered Madison, glad that she was a good distance away from the pair so that the tears in her voice wouldn't be heard. "Yes, this is she…" started Madison hesitantly, not recognizing the voice on the other end.
Then, when Madison was sure her heart couldn't feel any worse, words came over the receiver that to her horror proved her wrong.
"Ohmygosh…." whispered Madison; her voiced mixture with fright and disbelief. "Yes, yes. I can be right there. Thank you for letting me know."
"What is it?" she heard Nick call from back at the house; Leelee remaining next to him.
"Xander…" began Madison as tears finally did start to stream down her face. "There's been an accident…"
