Chad and Madison

By

Eileen (Psycho Tangerine)

Chad paused in the middle of his letter and thought for a few seconds. 'Furthermore,' he wrote, 'there should've been a warning on the package of Fish Guts Treats for Whales that it wasn't fit for human consumption. My wife spent the day in the bathroom after enjoying the lovely birthday cake I made for her.' There, he thought in satisfaction as he folded the letter and placed it in an envelope. Surely, a hand written letter would ensure that he'd get a refund. Then Kelsey would stop skating away from him every time he came near her. He stepped out of the house to head to the mailbox on the corner.

"Darling! I'm here!"

Chad grunted in surprise as a strange woman in blue tackled him.

"Hey!" cried Chad. "Get off me!"

"Oh, sorry!" Madison apologized profusely, her face turning a bright red. "I guess Vida's assertiveness training tapes are working a little too well."

"Well, thats okay. I guess you got me confused with your boyfriend or husband." Chad said as he brushed leaves off his pants.

"Are you Chad Lee?" asked Madison.

"Well, yeah, but..."

"Sweetie!" She jumped on him again. "Darn! I did it again!" she stated as he hastily stood up. "Sorry."

"Well, ok," Chad acquiesced as he brushed more leaves off his pants. Then something occurred to him. "I mean...Oh!!!! My back! Whiplash!" Chad suddenly bent over and held his lower back. "I'll have your house and car!"

Madison narrowed her eyes. "Don't bother. I've dealt with the King of Liars for six years." Every month, since Nick had left on his motorcycle to have his real parents and adoptive parents meet, he called and wrote her with promises to come back soon. Eventually, Udonna and Leinbow returned; but not Nick. Three moths ago, she received a final postcard. It seemed that he had found a state that actually allowed him to marry his motorcycle. Madison couldn't get over how good the machine looked in its white bridal gown.

Chad straightened up. "Can't blame a guy for trying. Now, who are you and why do you keep jumping on me?"

"It's, me! Madison! The one you're looking for!" exclaimed the Blue Mystic Force Ranger as she held out an old flyer. "I found this hanging on a telephone pole while visiting my cousins in Mariner Bay."

Chad took it and looked at it. He remembered putting the flyers out almost ten years ago. 'Dear Marina,' it said. 'Please come back to me. You are the mermaid of my dreams.' Except this copy was so worn with age that it just said, 'Dear Ma' instead. Chad had hung them in hopes of getting Marina to come to him, not realizing she'd never see it from under the water. He had eventually given up on ever being with her, plus some forced psychotherapy had him finally realize that he wouldn't be able to hold his breath underwater long enough for them to have a meaningful relationship.

"As soon as I saw this, I realized that you were calling for me," gushed Madison with a sigh. "But how you knew my name and that I'm a mermaid is beyond me."

"You're a mermaid?" asked Chad in disbelief. Great, why were all the women in his life lunatics? First, his older sister kept dunking him under water in the pool. Then, Dana ran around in a white jacket and insisted on being called doctor until she was arrested for practicing without a license. Then, Marina had a penchant for eating worms off fishing hooks. Then, Angela had tied Joel up during their honeymoon and flew away in his plane to live in Tahiti. And finally, Kelsey had legally changed her whole name to 'Crazy' and put it on their wedding invitations.

"Oh! I know!" blurted Madison. "You must've been there that day when we Rangers revealed our identities." She batted her eyes at Chad. "Is that when you realized you couldn't live without me?"

"You. were a Ranger?" asked Chad in shock.

"Still am. Blue Mystic Force. With the power of the mermaid." Madison frowned. "Wait a minute. You didn't know that? But then why did you advertise for me?" She pointed to the flyer.

"That's not your name, you dolt. That's supposed to say 'Marina,' but it got faded." Chad grinned. "But it's great to meet another Ranger. I'm the Blue Lightspeed Ranger....OWWW!"

"You cheat!" cried Madison as she went to slap Chad again. "We've been together for ten minutes and you're already cheating on me with some bimbo called Marina?"

"What the hell is wrong with you?" snapped Chad as he backed away from her. "We just met!"

"Oh, no! Im doing it again!" cried Madison as she lowered her hand. She'd get back at Vida for making her too assertive by convincing Matoombo that the Pink Ranger was completely in love with him.

"Look, why don't you just go home?" asked Chad. "We'll see each other during next week's Blue Ranger meeting."

"Sure," agreed Madison. "Wait, what Blue Ranger meeting?"

"You know, the one you got an invitation for...oh. Belatedly, Chad remembered the 'no stupid girl should ever be a Blue Ranger' rule they had drafted at their first meeting. Of course they had to modify Justin's term 'poopy-headed' to 'stupid.'

Madison stared at him. "Invitation? I didnt get an invitation!" She began to sob. "I never get invitations! Vida gets them all because they all think she's fun and I'm boring! I didn't even get invited to Phineas Junior's first birthday party!" Not that she really minded missing the mold and cockroach cake. Nevertheless, she continued to wail.

"No, don't cry!" pleaded Chad. But the wailing only got louder. "Ok! All right already! I'll get you an invitation! Actually, here." He pulled out his own invitation. "This is where it is." He gave it to Madison who had finally stopped crying.

"Thank you!" she exclaimed. "This will be so much fun! I'll bring my video camera and the popcorn." She gave him a hug.

"Uh, you're welcome?" Chad wasn't sure how the other Blue Rangers would react. But then again, this would give him the excuse to invite that lovely cool Blue Surfer Ninja girl.

"So!" cried a voice that was vaguely familiar to Chad. "I come all the way here to find you. And you're in the arms of another woman?"

Chad whirled around. "Marina!" he gasped as he shoved Madison to the ground. "You came back! You actually came back! What took you so long?"

Marina, who had a diver's helmet filled with water on her head, was propelling herself on a skateboard. "Stupid Sea World thought I was some kind of exotic fish. Luckily I finally found the drainage pipe."

"Marina," Chad repeated gazing lovingly at her.

"Well, I just came by to see if you were still interested. But I'll just leave you and your new girlfriend alone. Maybe I'll go try that guy who just came back from Aquitar." With that, she powered up her electric skateboard and sped away.

"Marina! Noooooo!" yelled Chad. He began sobbing and screaming her name as he ran after her.

"Oh, this is great stuff!" said Madison, who was still indignant from being dumped on the ground. She had pulled a hand-held video camera from her large purse and began filming. 'Beep Beep!' "What?!" she cried as she looked at the camera. "Battery dead? Noooooo!"

AN: The helmet with water is obviously from the Sponge Bob cartoons. Also, my quotation marks and apostrophe's disappeared when I uploaded this. I think I have it fixed, but if not, just let me know.
