"Sky Tate is such a pig!" a high-pitched female voice screeched loudly in the thankfully empty Common Room. Well, empty save for one brown-haired male who was currently looking like the wail had shattered his ear-drums.

"He's not that bad..." the male tried to pacify her, one hand rubbing his ear.

"Are you kidding me?! He is the most arrogant, rude and pompous assed person I have ever had the displeasure of meeting!" the blonde girl fumed, tossing her curls over her shoulder. That would be Sydney Drew, the famous singer, fencer, model and who-knows-what-else. She was a very beautiful girl and had a bubbly personality, very cheerful, but currently very angry.

"You just need to get to know him," the younger male offered. The peace-maker would happen to be Bridge Carson, resident genius and psychic. Bridge was the odd one of their little group and mostly had the role of being peacemaker among his teammates. He was not tall, dark and good-looking by any standards, but he had a boyish charm about him which endeared him to everyone. His cheerful outlook of life helped him stay cheery all the time and try to break tension among his teammates by a random comment which got an exasperated sigh from one and an an amused sigh from another.

"You have a problem with me, Sydney?" a deeper voice came from the door. Bridge and Syd turned to the door to see the reason for the girl's current frustration. Sky Tate, son of the first Red Ranger of SPD, the best fighter of the Academy and, by his standards, the model cadet. Sky was a strict, by-the-rules cadet and a stick the size of a pine tree up his ass.

"Yeah, I believe I do!" Syd growled at him.

"Take it to Cruger then," Sky smirked and turned to walk out. His eyes met Bridge's for a second and softened minutely before hardening again, "tuck that shirt in, Bridge." He left.

"I can't believe him!" Syd ranted, "First of all, we get our butts kicked by a couple of street-thieves, then he has the nerve to say that he's 'ready' to be a Ranger! He looks down on us all the time! Why do we listen to him?" she huffed.

"I admit that was rather uncalled for," Bridge nodded, "he doesn't think of us at the same level as him, but he's a pretty nice guy when you get to know him."

"Bridge, the guy has never given anyone a compliment or a nice glance ever. I'm beginning to think his face has been frozen in a scowl!"

"Sky warms up to you after a while," Bridge insisted.

"Really?" Syd said skeptically.

"Yeah. When Sky and I first became roommates, he was cold to me too. He's warmed up a lot!" Bridge nodded.

"You guys were roommates before I joined?" syd looked surprised.

"Yup. He and I have been rooming since I was nine and he was twelve!" Bridge grinned.

Flashback:

"Knock, knock," a small nine year old said nervously from the doorway of the room.

Sky glanced up uninterestedly and then returned to his his book, making a come-in gesture with one hand.

"Um, I-I'm Bridge. I think I got the right room, but if I haven't, I'll apologise and leave cause I know I'll have probably imposed on you and that's not a good thing, at least that's what my mom says cause she says that everyone needs some space and I'm totally okay with that cause I need my space too, so I'll just apologise and leave. Have I got the right room?" he said in one breath.

"..." was Sky's response.

"What?" Bridge asked nervously.

"Uh, never mind. You've got the right room. I'm Schuyler, your roommate, but everyone calls me Sky."

"Nice ta meetcha, Schuyler!"

Two weeks later, Sky still hadn't taken the time to get to know his roommate, aside from the fact about his powers because the gloves were too hard to miss, or to even talk to him. They only met at bedtime when they had to be in the same room. Bridge was a D-squad cadet and Sky was a C-squad cadet, meaning they had completely different schedules, something that didn't bother Sky in the least.

All that changed a week later, when Sky was returning from training. He stopped short as he saw Bridge trying desperately to fend off three others cadets who were easily older than hinm by a few years. They were trying to hit him, but he managed to dodge most of the blows, occasionally returning them, but his focus was mostly on trying not to hurt those attacking him and not getting hurt himself. Sky was rather surprised at his skills, they were impressive for a D-level cadet, but he broke out of his surprise as Bridge let out a cry of pain as one of the cadets kicked him in the ribs from behind. Sky reacted immediately, throwing up a shield and charging the cadets, knocking them off Bridge.

"You okay?" Sky asked Bridge.

"Yeah, just bumps and bruises," Bridge winced as he stood up, clearly more hurt than he said he was.

"That's enough!" a new voice growled out. It belonged to none other than Anubis 'Doggie' Cruger, the Commander of SPD.

"Commander!" Sky let out a gasp.

"Cadets," he addressed the boys who had been attacking Bridge, "please go to my office so that I can expell you properly."

The boys shuffled off and the Commander turned to Bridge and Sky, "Cadet Tate, you acted swiftly and correctly to save your fellow cadet. i'm proud of you."

"Thank you, sir," Sky saluted.

"Carson," he turned to Bridge, "that was some impressive fighting that I saw through the security cameras. Where did you learn that?"

"My mother, sir. My dad taught her how to fight and she taught me," he nodded.

"Well, I'd say it was good enough to get you promoted to C-squad," the Commander smiled.

"I'm C-squad?!" Bridge said in shock.

"As of now. Please collect your new uniform and schedule from Dr. Manx," Cruger nodded and walked off.

"Whoa, you've got to be the youngest C-squad member ever!" Sky said in shock.

"Wow, I'm C-squad..."Bridge seemed to be stuck on repeat.

"Uh Bridge?" Sky said hesitantly.

"Yeah?"

"Why were they attacking you?"

"They found out I had powers. They wanted to teach a 'freak' like me a lesson," Bridge sighed sadly.

Sky frowned, "I have to say that I'm sorry that I didn't try to get to know you. We're roommates, we should at least try to get along."

"Well, we're on the same squad right now and we're roommates! We have a lot of time!"Bridge grinned widely.

"Well, let's discuss this in the infirmary while you get treated," Sky looked at the various injuries on Bridge's young bdy.

"I'm f-" his legs gave out before he could finish the sentence, but Sky caught him and slung one arm over his shoulders.

"Suuuure you are..."

End flashback.

"Wow, Sky really did that?" Syd said in wonder.

"Yup. Even though it doesn't seem like it, Sky is always looking out for us!" Bridge nodded again.

"Maybe he's not such a bad guy after all..." she grinned back at him.

"See-" the rest of his sentence was cut off by another announcement.

"B-SQUAD, REPORT TO THE COMMAND CENTRE IMMEDIATELY!"

"Aw man," Bridge and Syd said together. They glanced at each other and burst out laughing as they left for the Command Centre.

Bridge walked into his and Sky's shared room and waited for Sky to come in. He had a feeling that Sky would be pissed at becoming the Blue Ranger and having a former street-thief receive the status he always wanted. Bridge didn't want to add his own problems to the ones aready brewing but he couldn't help but feel jealous of Sky. Sure, he had become the Green Ranger, but he really wanted to become the Blue Ranger. He would serve as the Green Ranger without complaint, of course, but that didn't mean he couldn't be a little upset. The whizzing of the door brought his attention back as the new Blue Ranger stalked inside, tossing his morpher to the floor.

"You shouldn't do that you know," Bridge said as he picked up the morpher and put it on the nightstand.

"You shouldn't do that," Sky growled at the morpher.

"Sky, the color doesn't really matter, being a Ranger does," Bridge tried to make him understand.

"Bridge..." Sky turned his back to the room and placed his ahnds on the wall, leaning against it.

Bridge came closer to him, "Sky, I'm sure Cruger had a good reason for doing what he did. You're overreacting-"

"Bridge, I was supposed to be the Red Ranger! I don't see what is fair about the fact that some street thief just came over and took what I have striven for for years! That is not fair! He hasn't even had a day of training and he just comes over and takes it?! What's fair in that?" Sky wheeled around as Bridge put his hand on his shoulder and grabbed the Green Rangers arms tightly, pulling him near to his face, "WHAT'S FAIR IN THAT?!"

"SKY!" Bridge let out a whimper at the tight grip, sure he would have bruises there by morning. The pain was nothing compared to what Sky was obviously feeling at not being Red Ranger, not achieving what he had devoted his entire life to.

The whimper broke through the haze of anger surrounding Sky's mind. He was suddenly aware of the fact that Bridge was barely inches away from him and that he was staring into his pale blue eyes. He let go of him abruptly, "I am so sorry..."

"It's alright. I understand what you're feeling Sky, but you have to trust Cruger. I'm sure he has his reasons for doing what he is, everything will work out in the end," Bridge nodded and gave Sky a hug.

"I hope it does..." Sky, having gotten used to these private hugs, returned it.

"It will. Promise," Bridge pulled away and held out his hands, palms upwards, towards Sky

Sky recognised that gesture and smiled softly as he slapped his palms lightly against Bridge's, Bridge doing the same thing next and then they gently flicked each other on the nose. Sky grinned, feeling much lighter than he had been before and lay down on his bed, Bridge following the suit on his own bed.

"Bridge?"

"Hmm?"

"Thanks."

"Anytime. That's what friends are for."

"Yeah...that's what friends are for."

"Sky?"

"Yeah?"

"Think we're good Rangers?"

"Hard to say. This is just the beginning."
