... To Be Loved
Madison found herself on the floor of the record store before she could realize anything had happened, her ankle throbbed and people began to take notice
"Mattie!" Vida exclaimed and ran to her sister's side, Nick and Xander where close behind Vida.
Toby was the last to become conscious what was going on
"What happened?" Toby asked
"Can you get the ice pack, I think Madison sprained her ankle!" Nick said taking control like a typical red ranger
"I'll get it" Chip said
"Thanks" Nick lifted Madison before Xander could move and placed her in the chair that Xander usually sits in to "supervise" and Xander put the stool where Madison's ankle could be propped up and her injury assessed as Udonna called the rangers
"I'll talk to her" Nick said and stepped to the side and answered Udonna's call
"Yes?"
"Nick, there is a disturbance in the forest, you rangers are needed immediately"
"It'll either have to wait or only have, at maximum, three rangers" Nick replied "Madison sprained her ankle and I know Vida will want to stay with her sister"
Udonna winced she would have to make due with three to four rangers until Madison's ankle healed then the disturbance suddenly stopped and she told Nick she wanted one ranger to investigate, it was up to him who.
"Xander, Udonna needs someone to run reconnaissance will you go?"
"Sure, keep me posted!" Xander said as the ambulance approached to take Madison to the emergency room
"Can I ride with her, I'm her sister" Vida said
"Sure" the medic said
"Nick, I'm trusting you with my car so you can bring Chip… don't you dare mess it up, or I'll have to mess up your face!" Vida warned as she tossed Nick her keys.
"Yes, ma'am" Nick teased
"Um… Nick she's serious… that car is her baby!" Chip said
"I know"
Vida and Madison got to the hospital first, Nick and Chip got there a few moments later.
"Are you okay… how is she?" Nick asked
"I'm fine, her ankle isn't sprained…"
"That's great, what's wrong with it then?" Chip said
"It's broken!" Vida said in frustration "My sister has a broken ankle! I don't believe this!"
"I'll call Xander and let him know" Nick said "and Udonna"
"I'm going to check on Madison" Vida said
"Okay, V, be careful" Nick said as they went their separate ways
Nick went to Rootcore along with Chip and Xander.
"How is Madison?" Clare asked
"She has a broken ankle" Nick replied "other than that she's fine"
"Oh my goodness" Udonna said "she will be fine, right"
"Yes, as soon as her ankle heals" Nick said "but right now she's in severe pain, or is as far as I know"
"I can see that you are worried about her, Nick" Udonna observed, "do you want to check on her?"
"I'll do that," Nick said quietly
Nick walked up as Madison came out on her crutches
"Mattie, how are you feeling?" Nick asked
"I've felt better" Madison replied as Nick approached her "If you need help you know all you have to do is ask"
"Thanks Nick, do you think you could help me into Vida's car, she's going to take me home so I can put my feet up for a while" Madison replied
"Do you need anything?" Nick asked
"No, I'll give you a call if I do" Madison said
Nick had Vida take Madison's crutches so he could carry her to the car
"Nick, if I didn't know any better I'd say you liked me" Madison said as he carried her 'bridal-style' to the car and placed her in the front passenger seat.
"What if I said you were right?" Nick asked
Madison said nothing just smiled shyly and tried ineffectively to hide the fact that she was turning a shade of pink formerly unknown to man
"Didn't know you could turn that pink, Mattie" Nick teased as he placed her in the car "get better soon" he said before giving her a friendly peck on the cheek and closing the door then walking off.
Vida laughed
"He likes you sis," Vida teased
"I know, V, I like him too" Madison said dreamily
"Whoa, my sis has a crush! Alert the media!" Vida laughed playfully
"Can it Vida!" Madison glared at her sister "So what if I have a crush… on Nick, don't tell him, please"
"Sis, what makes you think I'll give up this secret"?
"V I know you, you had better not tell Xander, the whole world would know"
"Sis, relax, this is between you, me and the steering wheel!" Vida said sincerely
"Okay, but I'm holding you to that" Madison said
"Wouldn't expect anything else from you Mattie" Vida smiled as they pulled up at home
Nick had followed them at a distance on his bike to find where they were in case there was such an occasion that Madison needed him, and then Hidiacs appeared around the girls
"Shoot!" Madison said
'Great' Nick thought 'how do I justify my presence here… can't exactly tell those two that I followed them! I'll figure that out when I have to Madison needs me!'
Nick came out of the bushes at an all out run just in time to see Koragg hit Vida's head against her car rendering her unconscious long enough for him to grab her sister and use a spell to leave with Madison.
"Mattie!" Nick cried as he got there in time to see Koragg leave with her.
"Vida… ah shit!" he cursed and then called Udonna
"Udonna, we've got a little problem, um make that a big problem…"
