Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers, if I did I'd be planning a huge Mystic Force\SPD teamup right now.
"So, Z, you've never mentioned who your parents are." Nick said as everyone made their way through the forest. "Care to open up?"
Z stopped for a second to look at Nick and then said quietly, "I don't know. I never knew my parents. They died when I was just two years old."
"Oh, I'm sorry." Nick apologized, "I never knew my parents either."
"But you said you lived with your sister?" Madison asked.
"My adopted sister. My birth parents abandoned me on the porch of an old orphanage. They didn't even care enough to see that the place was abandoned. I would've died if it wasn't for an old couple who heard me crying. They took me and raised me as their own. I owe them everything."
"Why didn't you ever tell us?" Madison asked.
"It isn't exactly something I like talking about." Nick said.
For a few seconds it was deadly quiet. It seemed ominous and everyone seemed to be thinking of a way to break the ice.
"Well, here we are." Vida said.
"This is it?" Sky asked.
"No," Madison said, "You have to touch the tree."
The three SPD rangers touched the trees and found themselves standing right next to the Rock Porium."
"Wow, that was so weird." Bridge said, "I mean, I was there and then I touched the tree and I was here. I know trees have hydro-electric power, but I never knew they had teleportation power. I mean, this is awesome! You know what …"
Z smiled at Sky, "So, Sky, still don't believe in magic?"
Sky was about to respond when Xander cut in, "C'mon, mates, let's go inside."
When they got inside, everbody of split up with their parents, except for Z, who wasn't sure who her parents were.
"So, Sky," Xander said smoothly, "Are Z and you dating yet?"
Sky looked at his dad strangely, "What?"
"Are you two dating?"
"Not really."
"So you didn't inherit the 'old Xander charm'?" Xander asked.
Silence.
There was a pause for a second as a girl with long blonde hair started to make her way to the cash register. "Oh well, here's the perfect opportunity to pass some of it down." Xander turned to the girl, "Hey, Leelee, what's up?"
"I'm buying a CD." Leelee said, "And could you please hurry up? I have things to do."
Is this how his parents met? By his dad flirting with random customers and his mom wandering in?
"What are you staring at?" She asked Sky, "Seriously,take a picture, it'll last longer."
"Here's you CD." Xander smiled, "Have a nice day."
Leelee grabbed her CD and walked out of the store, "I'm out of here."
"Okay," Xander said to Sky, "Bad example of the Xander charm. Next customer, I'll show you what the Xander charm really is."
"No," Sky said, "It's okay. I'm going to head back to Rootcore."
He had a lot of things he needed to think about.
Okay, I know, this wasn't too good of a chapter. I've had serious writer's block all week. Anyways, now onto my reviewers:
Barb from Utah - I'm really glad you like it. The reason Jack and Syd haven't realized the rest of the team is gone is because no time has passed since the other rangers got pulled back in time.
Shinebright-Starlight - I'm glad you liked it. I'll try to have Nick and Madison find out more about Z soon.
pureangel86 - No, but that's a pretty good guess. I hope you liked this chapter.
princess moon shadow - Yeah, Xander and Sky are total opposites, but it's so much fun to write about the two. Here's the next chap.
MoonGoddessShadow - I'm glad you liked the last chapter. I agree with you, Nick and Madison are a great couple. I'd probably be way more obsessed if they put romance back in the show, too. Hope you like the next chapter.
