"Can't you just stop being full of yourself for one day and try to enjoy time with your friends" shouted a very annoyed female comrade in her yellow SPD uniform.
"Friends?" scoffed the young man in the blue SPD uniform, "I don't have friends; I have my co-workers."
"Okay that's enough of this you two", came a third voice from aside as he looked to both his comrades "Z, Sky cut it or you will both be running the mud track on my orders."
Both Sky and Z looked at each other with wide eyes and then much to both of their dismay shook hands and called a truce. "Now that's more like it; now make Jack a sandwich while you both are at it" Jack himself had said with a grin and then before he knew it he got punched in both his shoulders. One from Z and the other from Sky; he shrugged it off and said "Fine don't make me one I will just have to lead this team on empty stomach."
"When isn't your stomach empty?" snickered Sky which got him a glare from Jack and a slight laugh from Z.
"Alright, alright Sky I see how it is. You just mad still that I got your daddy's job" Jack threw back at the blue ranger before realizing what he said was too personal and before he could even say anything the blue ranger had fled from the common room.
Z looked to Jack and then slapped him upside the head, "How are we ever going to get him to be a better part of this team if you throw around comments like that at him" Z scolded Jack as if he were a child. "He's never going to accept us as friends if we keep throwing comments like that at him and he throws our past as being street kids and criminals before coming here."
"I know Z, I know I didn't mean to say it" Jack responded glumly, "I will go talk to him about it and say sorry and everything."
"No I'll go, the last person he going to want to talk to is you after that" Z said with a sigh and headed out the common room in search of her blue friend.

After his quick departure of the common room Sky had basically sped off to the gym. He saw the gym as his only vice when dealing with comments that involved his father. Sky went straight to the bench press and added more weight to what was already placed on it. Then he took his headphones out from his pocket and started to blast music into his ear. Laying down on the bench press he lifted up the bar with ease from its holding place and started his reps.

The first place Z went in search for Sky was his room; she knocked on the door but to no avail got an answer. Sighing heavily she tried to think of where he would go and then it dawned on her that maybe he went to run the mud course after all. So Z headed outside to where the courses were and looked toward the mud course, but no sign of Sky. There was only one other place Z could think Sky would have gone and made her way to the gym. As she entered the gym she saw Sky with his headphones in his ears and he was moving from the bench press to the leg press. It looked as though he was off in his own world; so Z decided to go behind his seat on leg press and pull out his headphones. "Hey there muscle man" Z said with a grin.
Sky taken aback by the sudden disappearance of the sound of music in his ear and then hearing his teammate made him jump, "Jesus Z, haven't you heard of not creeping up on people when they working out" Sky said slightly annoyed.
"Oh come on Sky, Jack was just being stupid and he didn't mean it" Z said in an assuring matter. "He wasn't thinking Sky and you know that, plus don't let him get to you and in all honesty we are trying to be your friends Sky really."
"I know he was being stupid but it still a low blow for me but Z how can we ever be friends if we barely no each other" Sky said with a sigh as he got up from the leg press seat.
"Then lets try to be friends, come on Sky it not going to kill you" Z responded and offered her hand for a shake.
Hesitantly Sky extended his hand forward and shook Z's, "To the start of mending friendship" Sky said with a nod.
"That's the spirit blue boy, mending friendship" Z grinned and the tussled Sky's hair with her free hand.
"Yeah friendship" Sky said with a genuine smile and he knew that this new attempt at friendship was a new start for Z, Jack and himself. Although somehow he was hoping that maybe the friendship would become more than just a friend.
