Of Anime, Poetry and Falling in Love: Mack and Rose
Disclaimer: Rose has something she'd like to tell you.
Rose: Overdrive Red would never be able to come up with something like the Power Rangers. She wasn't even smart enough to change her name to Overdrive Pink, seeing as how she loves Mack and all.
Overdrive Red: Damn, she's right. Oh, I don't own the song, either, which is "Stolen" by Dashboard Confessional. And iPod belongs to Apple.
Challenge: Song
Timeframe: Somewhere after Kick Into Overdrive
Dax walked into the lounge. Will and Ronny had come up with a scheme concerning the red and pink Overdrive rangers, and the two insisted that he be the one to plant the device.
The blue ranger noticed that while Mack and Rose were sitting on the same couch, each with a book in their hands, neither was reading. Instead the two were sending the other secretive little glances and smiles every few minutes.
"Hey guys," Dax greeted, and his fellow rangers both looked up at him. "Do you mind if I play my iPod?" he asked, holding up the blue music player and the speakers that came with it.
Rose shook her head at the same time Mack said, "Not at all."
Dax plopped down onto the armchair opposite the red and pink rangers. He fiddled with the settings of his iPod and selected a song just as his Tracker beeped. "What's up, Ronny?" questioned Dax as the yellow ranger projected from his Overdrive Tracker.
"Mr. Hartford wants you down at HQ," Ronny answered.
"We're on our way," Mack announced, but Ronny shook her head.
"Just Dax. You and Rose just relax." The yellow ranger fought to keep a smile off of her face.
"Well guys, duty calls. I'll leave the music on anyway," Dax said, pressing the play button.
"That was odd," Rose commented. Mack nodded in agreement, humming along to the song. Then the song changed, and once Mack realized what it was he smiled at the appropriateness of it.
We watch the season pull up its own stakes
And catch the last weekend of the last week
Before the gold and glimmer have been replaced,
Another sun soaked season fades away
You have stolen my heart
The pink ranger, nestled so comfortable in one corner of the sofa, also had a smile on her face at the words. "I think we've been set up, Mack," she said, a chuckled following after. Mack glanced over at the entrance of the lounge and spotted Ronny's yellow shirt peeking out from behind one of the potted plants.
"Well, I'd have to say I agree with you on that count, Rose," Mack replied with a grin on his features. "It's a nice song to be set up with, though."
"And a true one at that," Rose mumbled shyly, determinedly not looking towards him.
Mack grinned wider.
