A/N: Hi people! Here's the next chapter! This takes place at the same time the last chapter does.

(P.S: This was inspired by Riley and Keeper's talk from "The Tooth Hurts".)

Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers.

Riley glared as Chase as he stomped out of the Dinolair. Why was he so infuriating?

"What is troubling you, Riley?" Keeper asked, stepping out of a cave.

"Nothing." Riley sighed, turning off the tennis ball machine and plopped down at the makeshift table by Keeper's cave.

"Might it be a certain man in black?" Keeper asked.

Riley groaned. Damn his alien senses. "Maybe?"

Keeper's eyes had a smile when he replied. "Do not ignore your feelings, Riley. Follow your heart, and you will go in the right direction."

Riley turned around, and Keeper was gone.

Riley sighed, and went to go change.

Maybe a walk would clear his head.

Riley heard the familiar click-clack of a skateboard as he strolled down the street.

"What's got you down, mate?" The man asked.

Riley was slightly startled when the man spoke. His accent (albeit Australian) sounded too much like Chase.

His head whipped up.

It was not Chase.

It was a man, about Kendall's age, in a green t-shirt and a gray hoodie. He had long, curly hair.

Yep. Definitely not Chase.

Riley shrugged, looking back down to the concrete.

"Hm..." He hummed. "Name's Xander. Nice to meet you."

"I'm Riley." Riley replied, not taking his eyes off the concrete.

"So..." Xander said. "What's got you down, mate."

Riley groaned inwardly. "I bet you and Chase would get along just fine." He muttered.

"Chase?" The man repeated.

"Chase Randall." Riley replied. "He's my... uh... coworker."

"Ok." Xander said. "So, again, ranger problems or personal?"

Riley's head whipped up to meet Xander's easy grin. "What?" He squeaked.

Xander grinned wider. "Chase is my cousin. Told me he was a ranger a couple months ago. He also mentions a guy named Riley..." Xander smiled. "So, fellow green, what's got you down?"

"Fellow?" Riley echoed.

"Mystic force green." Xander grinned.

"Well..." Riley did not want to have this talk with his crush's cousin. "I think I might have a crush on Chase, but he's just so..."

Xander grinned. "Infuriating?"

"Yes!" Riley replied.

"I was a lot like Chase at his age." Xander's grin turned pensive. "Flirted with anything in a skirt, and my pink absolutely hated me."

"Oh." Riley said. "And now?"

Xander grinned. "She's my wife."

Riley's eyes widened. "Oh."

"Well, mate, what I'm trying to say," Xander's face turned surprisingly serious. "Is talk to him. You never know if you don't try, right?" Xander's easy grin returned. "Besides, you might be surprised at what you might find."

Riley smiled. "Thanks, Xander."

"No, problem, mate." Xander kicked his skateboard up. "Greens gotta stick together, eh?"

Riley grinned, turned around, and ran full speed back to the Museum.

Xander shook his head, still grinning, and pulled out a phone-like thing.

He flipped it open, and it revealed his old morpher, still used for magic purposes.

He murmured something Latin, and green sparkles swirled around him.

Then he was gone, carried away with the wind.

A/N: For those who say "Xander and Chase aren't related!", well hush. This my story, and I do what I do.

Besides, they're practically the same person!

Stay tuned!
