Hi yet again. There are just six one-shots left! Absurd, yes? What is not absurd is that I am not Haim Saban, the owner of Power Rangers. Ergo, they aren't mine.

Oh, and I slightly tweaked chapter 30 so it dovetails with chapter 16 in my Maddick Fluff Epic (inset shameless plug). What? My fluff-franchise is very fluffy.

54: Triumph

Billy & Kimberly Cranston were attending a 2009 gymnastics competition. Although Kim herself had bowed out of active gymnastics four years ago some of her students were now competing on a national scale so she and her husband were attending to cheer them on.

Billy wasn't too interested though, preferring to nuzzle at his wife's neck. She whispered to him, "I thought you liked gymnastics. You always came to my competitions and seemed to pay attention then."

"That's because you're the best at gymnastics," Billy reasoned, "so what's the point in watching anyone else when I know they won't be as good as you?"

Kim gently smacked him on the forearm. "Behave."

With a sigh of warm breath onto her neck Billy resumed sitting upright. But Kimberly intertwined her fingers into his, letting him know that she wasn't upset at him. So Billy focused his attention on the gymnasts on the floor. But true to his prediction, none of them matched up to Kimberly to his mind. Admittedly he was biased on the subject, but when it came to his wife and one true love Billy had long ago concluded that he was permitted to be biased

Several of Kimberly's students, old and new, were good enough to receive recognition. He joined his wife and the rest of the audience in giving all the awardees a standing ovation. After the awards ceremony he and Kimberly went to the post-competition ball they had been invited to. Well first Kimberly had to change into a sleek pink ball gown and pink pumps while Billy got into a navy blue tuxedo complete with tie. Then they got into their purple convertible and headed off to the ball.

After a light dinner where the guests made equally light chit-chat the dance began. Kim and Billy managed to talk to their friend Tanya before she had to go start performing for the night. Kim mused, "It was nice to see Tanya outside of the Ranger sphere."

"Quite," agreed Billy, holding his wife's hand. "Do you want to dance?"

"With you?" Kimberly asked pertly. Billy gave her a wry grin.

"I don't think I'd be happy seeing you dance with anyone else."

Kim mock-pouted up at her husband of nearly two years. "Don't you trust me?"

Billy laughed briefly as he led her out onto the dance floor. "Yes, but I just rather be dancing with you than watching you dance with some other guy."

"Mm," went Kim as they started to dance, having to agree she wouldn't be very happy watching Billy dance with some other girl. Then they surrendered themselves to the music… and each other.
