Of Anime, Poetry and Falling in Love: Mack and Rose

Disclaimer: You most be incredibly dense to not get this.

Challenge: Match

Timeframe: Somewhere after Man of Mercury (Tyzonn is in it or it wouldn't matter)

Summary: "They'd be a perfect match, if they ever stopped arguing about books."

Ronny Robinson watched her fellow rangers Mack and Rose with a huge smile on her face. She chuckled lightly as the red and pink rangers continued to debate about some novel they'd both recently read.

"No, Mack, you're missing the point. He was completely guilty of murder. He wasn't framed at all. Get over it," Rose was saying.

"Conspiracy," Mack insisted. "His jealous ex-girlfriend framed him. I'm sure of it."

"Guess what, Mack? You didn't write the book. You don't get to say what happens," Rose shot back heatedly.

By now the other three rangers had joined Ronny and were staring at Mack and Rose. "Why are we doing this again?" Tyzonn asked, confused.

Ronny was still grinning. "Because Rose and Mack would be so perfect for each other that it's hilarious. They'd be a perfect match, if they ever stopped arguing about books." She turned back to the red and pink rangers. "Any second now they're gonna start making out. Ten bucks says it."

"You're on. Rose would never let him," said Will.

And then, as if on cue, Mack seized the pink ranger and kissed her. Rose froze for a second and then raised her hand. "Ha," said Will, sure she was going to slap Mack.

But all Rose's hand did was push Mack flat on his back, allowing her to lie on top of him, the frustration from their argument melting away.

"Pay up Will," cooed Ronny. "Let's leave these lovebirds to make their nest a little larger."
