"Please, please, please, Uncle Flynn! You're always the best at stories." Flynn looked at the little girl. She was putting on her the most adorable pleading face that she could manage. He couldn't refuse her. He ignored Dillon's protests that it was already far past her bed time and that she would just have to get a story from him another time.

"Alright, Alex. Just the one, mind. Your dad's right, you should be in your bed." Dillon had decided to throw his hands up in defeat. Flynn was the little one's favourite uncle, after all. "So what'll tonight's be about?"

"A princess!" Alex grinned as Flynn lifted her onto his knee. Dillon and Summer shared a look of amusement as Flynn looked like he was struggling to make up a princess story on the spot. He was better with animal tales and scary stories involving witches and goblins.

"Uhm…right…well, once upon a time there was a princess. She er…she lived in a huge castle and had lots of cool stuff…" Flynn began uncertainly.

"Like pretty dresses? And a pony?" Alex asked eagerly, to which Flynn laughed and nodded before he continued with the story. "One day an evil wizard called…Venjix, tried to take over the kingdom and the princess's castle was destroyed. She was forced to make the dangerous journey to the neighbouring land of Corinthia, which had not yet been taken over by the wizard." Dillon and Summer looked on in awe as they watched Flynn twist their history as Rangers into a fairytale for their daughter, whose face lit up in delight with every new part. How the spoiled princess decided to use her own magical powers to fight the evil wizard and his minions, how an outlaw had won her heart and how with the help of her friends, good had eventually triumphed over evil. By the time Flynn had finished, Alex's eyelids were beginning to droop.

"Right, come on now. Time for bed." Dillon got up from his chair and picked the small girl up with ease. She lolled sleepily against him and he disappeared from the room with her in his arms.

"I can't believe that!" Summer turned to the former blue ranger in admiration.

"What can I say? Uncle Flynn does it again." He winked and Summer shook her head as she laughed.

"So, this princess, her and the outlaw…whatever happened to them?" Summer asked, keeping her tone inquisitive though she full well knew the answer.

"Weren't you listening? The lived happily ever after!" Dillon came back into the room as Flynn said this and Summer was very much inclined to agree.
