Madison: Must be hard leaving your friends all the time.
Nick: Usually don't stay around long enough to have friends
Madison: You know you could -- I mean, you could stay somewhere longer. You know... like here, maybe.

Broken Spell, Part I

It was the scene to launch a thousand 'shippers. Okay, I'm exaggerating, but I'm sure there's quite a number of Nick/Madison fans who trace their enthusiasm back to the moment when the kind-hearted, newly-minted Blue Ranger tried to reach out to the mysterious near-stranger, urging him to stay in Briarwood. She was awkward, trying to strike a conversation about family and friends while rolling back and forth on her heels and avoiding eye contact. But she was earnest in her plea, making many of us wonder just why she was so interested in convincing Nick to stay around. Since then, there've been a few other moments between the pair, in which they've challenged one another, let their guard down, or revealed their fears... and that kind of sincerity could be the foundation of something more than friendship.
