Disclaimer: I don't own Power Rangers and I don't own the song Waiting for Magic, Ace of Base does.

Authors Note: I absolutely LOVE this song! It's really cool and if you haven't heard it, then I suggest you buy Ace of Base's cd 'The Sign'. Almost all the songs on it are great! This story is about Astronema and Zhane. It takes place after she says she never wants to see him again.

Waiting for Magic
By Crystal Maiden

A man of the world but lost in a dream
you look at something from a different angle
but I exist i'm waiting for you
in a coffin made of glass.

God how she hated the Silver Ranger. She hated him, his friends, his powers, his clothes, and the air he breathed.

Well, that's what she thought anyways. She had tried to force herself into thinking the silver haired boy was nothing more than an enemy to her. But it was useless. She was totally and utterly in love with him.

She sighed heavily, and looked around her room in the dark fortress. The room was made of tinted glass so no one could see her.

*This is no way to live. * She thought to herself, *I wish he were here. *

Kiss me baby I'm attractive
baby get to know me
Show who you are
give me that music
baby I'm eternal
lying in a coffin
waiting for you
in your dream a girl is dancing
close to you (that girl is me)
once a witch made her sleep
but a prince will wake her up it's you

She cursed at the thought of Dark Specter's wife. She was the one that had made her this way. Astronema only had vague memories of her family, but nothing that would help her recognize them if she should happen to see them.

*Maybe Zhane's the key to everything.... * Her thoughts suggested hopefully. She smiled at the thought of his sweet face smiling when he saw the note she had shot at him.

Kiss me baby I'm attractive
baby get to know me
Show who you are
give me that music
baby I'm eternal
lying in a coffin
waiting for you

*This is ridiculous! * She scolded herself at the thought of them getting together.

They were from separate worlds. There was no denying that. She was evil and he was good, end of the story.

But even the cold hard facts couldn't destroy the tiny piece of hope she was clinging on to.

*What if he can save me and, make me good? * She asked herself.

O kiss me baby wake me up
O kiss me baby wake me up
join in the story of the fairytale
believe the dream you will not fail
O kiss me baby wake me up

*God, why do I keep doing this to myself??* Her thoughts demanded to know, *What makes me even think he still likes me after what I did to him today? *

But her thoughts still had no effect on that little piece of hope she was holding on to.

Kiss me baby i'm Snow White
sleeping in a coffin
waiting for you
baby i'm Snow White
sleeping in a coffin
waiting for you

Suddenly, the glass door slid open and Ecliptor walked in and bowed to her. She quickly stood up, reasserting herself.

"What is it Ecliptor?" she asked coldly.

"My princess, you have seemed distracted all day. Is it--" he hesitated, then asked, "The Power Rangers?"

*More like a certain Ranger. * She thought, then replied, "Yes. As soon as you get the next attack plan from Dark Specter, carry it out."

He nodded his head and bowed again, "I'm sorry to disturb you."

Astronema nodded her head, "Just don't do it again Ecliptor. It would be a shame to loose such a dependable cyborg."

Ecliptor left and she sat back down on her bed and closed her eyes.

She picked up the crumpled picture of Zhane and stared at it sadly.

"Maybe sometime, we will be together," she said softly.

The End
