Chapter 1

Maddie's POV

God, it's been 4 months and Nick and his parents haven't come back yet, what could be taking so long? I know that I just sound like I'm whining but I just miss him... A lot. He's been writing to all of us and he calls when he can he's even bought us gifts from places that him, Udonna and Leanbow have gone too. Last time I spoke to him was 2 weeks ago and he told me that his parents didn't want to rush the trip they actually wanted to get to know their son and bond together as a family before they journey back to Briarwood. I can live with that but 4 months being gone you'd think that be enough time, but then again it has been 20 years since any of them have been together and they all thought that their family was dead. I should just stop complaining and be happy for them they will come back when they are ready, but in the mean time I have people here to keep me occupied.

*In Rootcore*

Madison, Vida and Xander were all chilling out in the main room around the big circular table while Chip was levitated in the air striking superhero poses. Claire was practising her magic on the plants on the balcony, even though she was full sorceress she practised so she would not lose control of her powers. Jenji was in his lamp sleeping and Daggaron was with Itassis in the village near by helping the people with their daily activities.

Xander pulled his feet up and crossed then on the table.

"Hey guys, what's the plan for the summer?" He asked looking round at everyone.

"Well I don't actually have anything planned at all, maybe I'll just work my summer away." Vida responded

Xander stared at her in disbelief.

"Oh come on V, you can't be serious." He said.

Maddie looked at Xander in agreement with Vida.

"She's got a point I mean we have nothing to do. Our family was gonna go on vacation but our parents changed their minds at the last minute now we're stuck in Briarwood. All we have left to do here is work to keep us busy." Maddie said with disappointment in her voice.

Xander looked between the two sisters then up at Chip for help.

Chip asked "Well Xander since the girls have nothing to do this summer, what do you plan on doing?"

Xander was about to say something but stopped he started to think about the question then he realised that he had no plans either. His parents were gonna be away all summer that's why he was staying with Chip.

Xander looked back up and his eyes shifted between his friends.

"Well..." The three rangers said.

Xander stayed silent.

"You have nothing planned either do you." Vida leaned back on her chair and smirked at the green ranger.

Xander looked at her annoyed.

"Yes I do, I have loads of things to do." He said defensive.

"Oh yeah like what?" She asked back waiting for his answer.

Chip and Maddie both tried not to laugh.

"Well... You know... I'm gonna... Go to work and uh... Well..." Xander tried.

"Aaaaaaannnnnnddddd you've got no plans like the rest of us." Vida folded her arms and smiled victorious.

Maddie and Chip couldn't hold it in anymore and they just laughed their head off. Xander started to blush from the embarrassment, Vida always knew how to do that to him.

"Ok fine whatever I don't have any plans you don't have to make fun, and will you two shut up laughing at me!" He shouted annoyed blushing even more.

The two slowly stopped and smiled between the pink and green rangers, they both knew that they have feeling for each other but they don't show it so they just pick on each other to hide it… well try and hide it but the others can see right through it, even Daggaron and Claire have noticed.

Maddie smiled at them and said "don't worry guys we'll find something to do and we'll have an amazing summer together."

They all looked at each other and smiled knowing she was right, but until then they were gonna sit back and relax together and wait and see what happens next.
