The man stepped forward with a smile on his face, it wasn't her dad it was her dad's older brother Mike, whom had always been like a dad to her.
"Uncle Mike, don't scare me like that!" she exclaimed and hugged her uncle's neck
"Sorry Mattie, I just had to know how you would have handled my brother" Mike laughed slightly "so who is the lucky guy your sister told me about" Madison stepped back happy as a flee in a dog show.
"His name is Nick Russell, he's new in town, but he's really kind" Madison smiled "but dad doesn't want me to be with him"
"What if I told you it wasn't your dad's call to make" Mike asked
"What?" Madison glared at her uncle
"He is leaving Briarwood… permanently, he and your mother are getting a divorce"
"What, why?"
"She got tired of watching you girls suffer needlessly" Mike smiled "she's taking full custody of you and your sister, so if any one has any say so in who you see it's her"
"What about the rumor that dad had mental problems?"
"It's only that, a rumor," Mike laughed "sure your father's a bit loopy, but he's sane, for the most part… as hard as that is to believe."
Madison smiled as her Uncle spoke
"You know, I want to meet this Nick Russell you've been dating, see if he meets my expectations for my niece"
Madison laughed, of course he'd meet her uncle's expectations, he'd exceed them, but she didn't know that Nick's older cousin was coming into town.
Jason Lee Scott saw Briarwood as being too similar to Angel Grove his cousin was the only reason he came there.
Xander Bly noticed the newcomer and realized he was lost.
"Hey, you lost?"
"Yeah, I'm looking for Nick Russell, you wouldn't happen to know where I could find him, would you"
"Yeah, the record store, Rock Porium, he's working late there" Xander replied
"Thanks" Jason said
Xander gave him some general directions to the store and Jason got there quick enough.
'Did he have to come now?' Nick wondered as Jason walked into the store. "Hi Jason" Nick said as he walked over to his cousin, he hadn't looked forward to Jason's arrival at first, but the thought that maybe his cousin could help him with his dilemma with his girlfriend he was a little happier to see his cousin.
"We're closing!" Toby said intolerantly
"Hey Toby, this is my cousin" Nick said
"I'll wait outside" Jason smiled and stepped out of the store
Nick came out a few minutes later, more than glad to get out of there for the evening.
"So that's your boss" Jason observed
"Yeah, he's not too bad typically" Nick shook his head wirily
"Have you made any friends around here, you're notorious for not trying to make friends"
"Yeah, I've got a few" Nick replied, "I've been dating recently"
"Dating?" Jason smirked "I knew sooner or later you'd find a girl, what's her name?"
"Madison Rocca, she wants to be a film producer" Nick said "you hardly ever see her without her camcorder, recording just about anything"
"Really," Jason said, "is there a chance that I could meet her?"
"Not if her dad has anything to say about it" Nick's morpher went off and he excused himself to a secluded spot to answer it.
