The sound of the door being opened to the Rock Porium sounded, Nick was about to turn to greet the customer he had heard enter but stopped mid-turn when he heard "Hey Nicky!" in an annoyingly familiar voice. Plastering on a fake smile and sighing internally he turned around to see the source of the voice "Hey Lele..." he said politely "Can I help you with something?" He asked, trying to get her out of there as fast as possible.

"As a matter of fact," She began as she fluttered her eyelashes which, in Nick's opinion, looking like she was having a seizure and he was having a hard time not rolling his eyes are her. "You can help me find a.... date..." She finished, and Nick proceeded to choke on his tongue while trying to form some kind of coherent response because she had never been this forward with her flirting, 'She must be getting tired of this game' he thought with an internal shudder.

"Umm..." He started out eloquently "I think Chip is available." He said with a smirk and jabbed his thumb over his shoulder in the general direction of the aforementioned Yellow Ranger, in which there was a squeak and a loud crash. Lele huffed "Not with Chip." She said, obviously resisting the urge to stomp her foot, "With you, Nick, I want a date with you." The Red Ranger responded with a quiet "Oh..." and rubbed the back of his neck nervously "Look......Lele.... I" he began with a sigh but was cut off.

"But what, Nick? I've waited long enough, I deserve a date with you" She said with another huff. Just her tone struck a nerve and his mouth started to move of his own accord "Lele, I'm already with someone" he finally said "What!?" she all but yelled 'Yea, what?!' he protested internally. "With who?" she demanded and this time she did stomp her foot. 'Think, Nick, think!' He urged himself.

His thoughts were interrupted by the sound of the door again, thankful for a distraction she looked up and locked eyes with the person who entered, and his mouth decided to talk again of its own accord "Xander!" He blurted out without a second thought. "Xander?" She screeched, obviously disgusted, "But he isn't even a girl!" She whined "Great observation, Lele." He said dryly. The unsuspecting Green Ranger walked over to greet his friend, 'Crush' his brain supplied helpfully, "Hey, Nick" He said with a smile and that adorable accent "Lele."

He greeted her and did a good job at keeping most of the hostility out of his voice while addressing the she-devil that wants to take his man 'He isn't yours' he chided himself. 'He will be soon' he argued back to no one. Xander had woken up that morning and decided it was time to have a discussion with Nick about these crazy feelings he's been having for the team leader, even if the Red Ranger doesn't return his feelings he's sure Nick won't cut him off completely, he hopes.

What brought him back from his thoughts was the fact that the object of his desire had just snaked his arm around his waist and Xander automatically placed an arm around the slightly shorter ranger's shoulder. 'What the...' He thought and looked down at Nick while quirking a questioning eyebrow at his friend and was about to ask but he saw the pleading look on the Red Ranger's face, so he decided to keep quiet for now.
