"You should've just stuck with the original plan! We could've succeeded fast if you… " Sky was reprimanding his pink counterpart for deviating from the plan and risking her life during the B-Squad's latest mission.
Syd rolled her eyes and wished she had the ability to transport herself to another dimension. Ever since she entered the academy, Sky had treated her like a kid; always lecturing about what she should or should not do. Now he's getting into her nerves.
"Z was in danger. I couldn't just let her be attacked your enemies!" She finally spoke back, surprising Sky, who was used to Sydney just listening to his entire harangue.
"Wow. Princess Syd finally defended herself. Sky was curious on up to what extent he could make Syd angry. "What? Are you gonna call daddy and ask him to hire soldiers to shoot me? Oh wait. That's after you ask him money for shopping, right?"
That was more than enough to make Sydney Drew fuming mad. The last thing she'd want people to think is that she's just a spoiled brat with a pretty face. What Sky just said pulled her trigger.
The rest of the team knew that it was about time they interfered.
"You'll regret you ever said that, Tate!" Syd's fist was only five inches away from Sky's face when Z stopped her.
Jack, being the leader of the pack, stood in the middle to resolve the conflict between his two team mates. "I think that you two should spend some time apart. Z, take Syd to her room."
"I'd be happy to be away from that insensitive jerk." She smiled sarcastically and started walking towards the cadet quarters. A few seconds later, she looked back and glared at Sky. "By the way, you're wrong. I wouldn't ask daddy to hire soldiers. I'd shoot you myself."
She left the common room and was abruptly followed by Z.
Bridge and Jack both gave Sky a defiant stare. They knew that what he did, trying to get Sydney mad was superfluous.
"What was that about?" the Red ranger questioned.
"Look, I was just saying, that if she stuck with the plan. We could've finished the mission faster. And besides, she could've been killed there! " Sky said in defense for himself.
"I think you better say sorry. She's hurt." Jack tapped his soldiers and eventually left.
Sky looked at the other person left with him in the room. At that point, he was convinced that the current blue ranger really is the weirdest among the B-squad members. -- Bridge was smiling.
"You know what? I don't have to use my power to be able to see what you feel for Syd." He smiled and left the room.
It took a while for Sky to realize what his friend meant. "Wait. Bridge! You're---" He stopped and thought what she really means to him.

"I can't believe he insulted me like that!" Syd furiously entered the room she shared with Z. She jumped onto her bed that was filled with stuffed animals.
Z came in afterwards and decided to calm her room mate down. "Chill. I'm sure Sky was just worried about you."
"I don't think so. -- He probably doesn't even care about me." Her tone changed from aggravated to sad. She sat and hugged the teddy bear she named Choco.
"What about you? Do you care about him?" Z looked at her and left, leaving Syd boggle-minded.
She looked at Choco and thought of Sky. What he did was very offending. She's hurt that even how much she shows how grown up she already is, he still treats her like the fourteen-year-old he first met.
Syd stared at the bear until she realized that it was already late in the evening. She set Choco aside so she could take her habitual sponge bath.
-------
Outside the room was Sky, still hesitating whether he'd say sorry to Syd or not. After a few minutes of walking back and forth, he decided to talk to her.
Sky turned the door knob clock wise; slightly opening the door. From the door's small aperture, he saw something he wasn't supposed to see…
