Mystic Nights

Disclaimer: I now own an awesome Sirius Black t-shirt but I still do not own Power Rangers.

A/n: Sorry guys! I know I said I was going to update two weeks ago but I got busy. And then I said I was going to update last week but when I told myself I was going to do it on Friday I ended up totally forgetting. I was like lying in bed at midnight and I kept thinking I was suppose to do something. Then all the sudden I remembered I was suppose to update. So I promised myself I would write it Saturday since that was still part of the week. Then I got a surprise when I woke up Saturday morning. My mom made me hang with her all morning and then I went to a party. I figured I'd update after the party but I got home later than originally planned. Thus I'm updating on a Sunday. Hope you enjoy it!

Chapter 2: The Cook's Breakfast

The hot desert sun was blinding to Vida's eyes as she crawled out of the tent she shared with her twin sister. The short haired brunette squinted caramel eyes, rubbing away sleep and sand. She stood outside the tent's open canvas to await her sister; Vida stretched her limbs to get her body awake.

Her sister's rustling about and loud yawns pulled Madison from sleep. She let out her own yawns when she sat up. The young girl's blanket pooled around slender legs as Madison stood up and exited the tent. She smiled at her sister in greeting.

"Good morning, Vida!" Madison said cheerfully.

"Happy Birthday sis," Vida replied.

"You too! Let's go find the others."

"And get our gifts," added Vida.

Phineas, Leelee, and Claire were awake and brimming with uncontained joy when the sister joined them near Daggeron's tent. Claire was wearing a huge grin while jumping up and down. Leelee smiled as well and waved at the sisters; Phineas beside her, displayed his sharp canines in a goofy grin.

"Good morning you two!" Claire chirped and went to hug Madison and Vida. "Happy Birthday!"

"Happy Birthday Vida! Happy Birthday Maddie!" Leelee greeted.

"Happy Birthday Maddie," said Phineas, "and you too Vida."

"We're going to have so much fun today, you guys!" Claire jumped up again.

"Are you guys excited?" Leelee wanted to know. "It's not everyday you turn eighteen."

Another voice joined the chorus of well wishers. "No, it is not. Happy Birthday my nieces," Daggeron said, emerging from his tent.

"Thank you Uncle Daggeron," Madison replied.

"Thanks," said V.

"Thanks, everyone! We're both so excited and ecstatic for today!" grinned the shyer Rocca sister.

"Yeah, so where are our presents?" Vida put in.

Their friends laughed at the normal bluntness of the short haired brunette. Daggeron chuckled and smiled at the question. "Patience, Vida. We'll get to it."

"Yeah, V. Let's eat breakfast first," Madison told her twin.

"Oh yes!" Claire began excitedly. "I made you girls a special birthday breakfast! We're all going to have a wonderful breakfast feast!"

Phineas inquired, "Well then what are we doing here? We shouldn't let food by itself."

Leelee giggled at her boyfriend. "Yeah, let's eat!"

True to her words, Claire's meal was wonderful. All the friends and members of the desert caravan gathered around to wish the twins happy birthday and pig out on Claire's fantastic cooking. Not one person could complain of bad food. Claire may have been a bit klutzy sometimes, she had a terrible memory, and she couldn't ride horses to save her life, but Claire was a master at creating terrific dishes out in the desert.

"That was wonderful Claire," Daggeron complimented.

"You did a great job," Madison added with a smile.

Vida put in her own two cents, "I think you've out done yourself this time. Thanks."

"Yeah. Thank you Claire!" everyone cheered. The young blonde blushed at the praise.

"Your welcome," she said shyly.

"Well Claire did a magnificent job on her present for you. Now Phineas and I want to give you ours," Leelee told the twins.

Phineas reached behind him and pulled out a wrapped parcel. Leelee grinned beside him. Madison allowed her sister to take the present from the troblin's outstretched hands. V smiled at the couple; she quickly unwrapped as soon as the gift was in her hands.

"Oh Leelee, Phineas, they're wonderful!" Madison cried when her twin opened the box containing cloaks.

Vida took a black one embroidered with symbols of the ancients and a large butterfly on the back, the symbols and the butterfly a bright pink. Madison grabbed the other cloak, also black, but with a light blue mermaids tail on the back and light blue symbols. Vida immediately tried hers on while the other twin sister ran her hands lightly over the fabric.

'It's great! I love it! Well…all except the color," the tougher Rocca sister said.

"They're really wonderful. Thank you Phineas. Thank you Leelee," Maddie said with gratitude.

"Ah, you're welcome," Phineas said. "Leelee made them." A slight dusting of pink appeared on the girl's cheeks.

"Thanks, Leelee. And pink may just become my favorite color."

"Your welcome."

Vida turned to her uncle after Leelee's reply. "Now Uncle Daggeron, where's your gift?"

"Why I can only give you one thing. And I gave it to you already, last night," Daggeron explained.

"Are you talking about the story, Uncle Daggeron?" Maddie asked, perplexed.

"Yes my wonderful adoptive nieces. But it is not just a story. It is the truth. You Maddie, and you Vida are the princesses of that story. And I was your father, the king's genie."

At Daggeron's words magic filled the desert air around the gathered friends. Daggeron's outfit changed from that of a caravan leader to the garments of a mighty genie. Blue light pooled at Madison's feet while pink light pooled at Vida's feet. The lights spread upward to surround the twins. And when the light vanished Claire, Phineas, Leelee, and Daggeron saw the two sisters in elegant dresses fit for princesses.

Madison gasped in surprise. She looked at Daggeron and glanced at her sister, eyes widening. Then she looked down at herself to see her fine dress.

"You mean we really are princesses?" she asked in wonder.

"Yes. Your father entrusted you and Vida to me many years ago. I have cared for you as if you were my own family. And now that it is your eighteenth birthday you can know the truth. Madison, Vida, it's time to return to your parents palace. You must claim your kingdom and your birthright."

"Wow, this is so weird," V exclaimed. "I can't believe I'm really a princess. And you, you're a genie. Woah."

"Wait, are Claire, Phineas, and Leelee coming with us, Uncle Daggeron?" Madison asked.

"Yes. They may come live at the palace with us." The three friends turned to each other and grinned.

"This is so awesome!" Leelee exclaimed. "We get to live at a palace now!"

"It's completely amazing!" Claire agreed.

"Yeah, and there'll be great food at a palace," Phineas said.

"Yeah Phineas. Food and power!" Vida grinned. "What are we waiting for, Uncle Daggeron? Let's go!"

"Alright. Gather around closely you guys. I'll teleport us there. Uthe Sastos." Then the genie, the two princess, the two blondes, and the troblin disappeared in a glowing seal that Daggeron had created in the desert sand.

TBC…
