A/N: This drabble is short, and was one of the first that I did this summer. Therefore, my style changed a bit here, and after doing some research on Magiranger, I kind of melded the two universes together… Hope it came out well!

Theme 27: One Moment

Central Park, December 15, 2006, 12:25 am – Briarwood, CA, USA

"Come on, V. It's not that hard of a thing to do," Xander coached the Pink Fairy as she wobbled unsteadily on his skateboard. Clad in a green helmet too big for her and elbow and knee pads too small, Vida really didn't look like the most fashionable person around. Then again, that wasn't why she was doing this.

"Says you!" Vida spat eyes glowering. She leaned forward and, building up speed with her left foot moved to place it back onto his skateboard but once again she lost her balance. This time, she lost her equilibrium and went flying, the skateboard spiraling towards a concrete bench at the side of the path and she into a small garden that the city council had sponsored to advocate the beauty of flowers, but which was now just a pit of weeds due to lack of maintenance.

"Vida! You okay?" Xander asked worriedly as he ran over to his friend. Vida, who was muttering curses underneath her breath as she moved her limbs, counted the spirits' blessings that she hadn't broken anything serious.

"No, I'm just peachy!" Vida snapped at her friend attempting to get to her feet. She hissed in pain when she found that she couldn't put any weight on her left ankle. What shocked her was not the injury (as a Ranger, she was getting injured frequently and, thanks to her advanced healing lost the injuries just as quickly) but the fact that she suddenly felt strong arms supporting her. Twisting her head, she found herself staring into the chocolate eyes of her teammate.

"V, I want to ask you something," Xander whispered after a moment a shaft of weak moonlight illuminating him at that instant. When he had gotten the phone call that one of his best friends couldn't sleep he had been surprised, but was more so at the request she had made: would he mind teaching her to skateboard at midnight? The reason he had heard through a rather confusing stream of babbling was that she really wanted to do something and she didn't want to disturb Maddie, particularly since she was still recovering from kissing a frog, even if that frog had been Daggeron. Xander had agreed only to regret it a moment later due to his losing beauty sleep. Now, however, he wasn't having second thoughts about teaching Vida at all.

"Yeah?" Vida whispered back, totally entranced by the moment. Sure, it was just one moment in a multitude of occurrences, but it felt like this time, this place was the most important of all.

"I, uh," Xander began but was interrupted by a shriek. The moment was ruined as the two Rangers looked at each other and, nodding, the two drew out their Mystic Morphers and, dialing 1, 2, 3 yelled out, "Magical Source, Mystic Force!"

As the Ancient Mystical Spirits Groungel and Wingel came down and clothed them in their Ranger forms, both shared the disappointment that a potentially important moment had been interrupted by some stupid civilian who couldn't keep out of trouble.
