Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with Power Rangers as usual all just for fun and an outlet for my imagination.
This is kind of a sequel to Storm, so you may be better reading that one first if you haven't already. This is also only the second fic I've ever written in the first person so I hope it works ok.

She Completes Me
If someone had said to me three years ago, that I would come to this point in my life, I would have laughed in their face. What a difference three years can make. Back then I was totally committed to SPD. SPD was my wife, family and lover rolled into one. It was my life, nothing else mattered apart from being the best and becoming the Red Ranger, following in my father's footsteps. Yet here I am now, preparing to ask Syd to marry me, and I'm terrified. Yes that's right, me, Sky Tate, terrified of something.
I'll never forget when I realised I felt something more for Syd than friendship. It was during the incident with Mirloc. I grabbed her around the waist to move her out of harms way. The jolt of electricity that ran through me when I held her took my breath away. I was reluctant to let her go, it felt so right holding her in my arms, her body pressed tightly to mine as I tried to keep her safe. Then when she was the first to step forward and defend me against Mirloc's cruel taunts, I felt something crack in my cold heart and it flooded with warmth. Syd had melted the ice that I had encased around my heart.
I took a lot more notice of her after that, I even started dreaming about her. Every day I fell a little more in love with Syd, until I realised that SPD was no longer the most important thing in my life. Syd was. But I did nothing. I thought that she would never be interested in a guy like me. Thank God for that storm the night before Valentine's Day two years ago.
A crash of thunder had woken me from a good dream about Syd. I was not happy. As the storm was directly over us I knew I wouldn't be able to sleep, so I'd gone to get a drink. Syd had been there, standing alone gazing out of a window. She'd been acting weird for a few days and I was worried about her. Being quiet and withdrawn was not normal Syd behaviour, so I though I'd see if I could find out what was wrong, maybe I could help. So what happened? I ended up blurting out that I loved her! I didn't plan it, it just sorta happened. I was stunned when she told me she felt the same. That was the first time we kissed, man it was magic.
It's not been easy for us. Our team mates were shocked and predicted we'd never last, that we were too different. Boy did we prove them wrong. We've had our rows, but then, what couple doesn't. Eight months ago, we moved out of the base into our own place. Now every night I hold her as we go to sleep and she's the first thing I see when I wake in the morning. I wouldn't have it any other way. I want her to be the first thing I see in the morning for the rest of my life. I love her so much that I cannot imagine life without her. Syd showed me that there was more to life than what I was seeing.
Syd completes me, without her I would be nothing. She's warm, funny, compassionate and sexy as hell! I want her to be completely mine, to see my ring on her finger, to be able to shout out that this beautiful woman by my side is my wife, Sydney Tate. So tonight I'm going to ask her to do me the honour of being my wife and spending the rest of her life with me.
