A/N: So, here is Madison. Before anyone asks about Sky or Bridge...except for Once A Ranger, there's no real interaction between their future and the present. So they'll all have a showing at the end of everything. Sort of an epilogue that explains how everything goes right.
Madison was a patient person, she knew the value of waiting for the perfect shot, or angle, or light. She could shoot the same three minutes of film over and over just to get it right. When she asked Nick to come back for her, and Nick promised it would happen, she pulled up all her tolerance, went to film school and waited. She didn't keep his blanket with her, not after she'd been teased when her roommate found out that she was waiting on a boy who forgot to call her half the time.
Nick's reappearance, enrolled at the junior college across town, had been Madison's triumph. Especially when he greeted her with a toe curling, spine tingling kiss in the middle of the quad; revenge, Madison though, was sweet.
Madison learned a lot about Nick as she pursued her dreams. He didn't really know what he wanted in life; except her and his motorcycle. To her surprise, he had a mechanic's license already and soon he was putting it to use while she started making her first independent films. When she moved to LA to try to make a real name for her, Nick followed, found a job with a mechanic and split the rent on a small apartment.
Before Nick, Madison had trusted Vida to tell her that she'd make it, both as a director, and in life. Now, she had Nick, who was willing to help keep a roof over her head while she worked her way through the filming industry. It wasn't easy, but they worked at it.
Vida laughed when Madison confessed that Nick's proposal had been a complete surprise. She never thought that they would get married; she just assumed that they would continue to live together and that was that. Instead, she got the white dress, the church and a husband, and all the things that Madison had wanted as a little girl. She even had Chip as a groomsman wearing his superhero cape.
Madison got her big break while on her honeymoon, even though she didn't know it. A director had noticed her with her camera and was impressed. He even remembered her name. When his assistant left to pursue other options, he brought her on board. The year after her first child was born; Madison took her seat in the director's chair for a film that set no records, but was well received by critics and fans.
Her Emmy award was notable for her unexpected early labor, and her son, Emmett, was born on stage, and on camera. That was also the year she won Best Picture, and Best Director, and her leads picked up their own awards.
Madison's favorite movie, however, never actually made it to the big screen. It was never released to DVD for public consumption. It was a montage she had filmed in a little record store that nobody had heard of. Its cast was nameless so far as the media knew, but it conveyed something that Madison had been unable to copy: Friendship, love and family.
