A/N: This will be my very first SPD fic, so be kind. lol. I'm not sure where I'll be going with this. But let me know what you think anyway! Enjoy!


Chapter 1

"Simple Favor"

Members of B-squad settled in the training room of SPD headquarters after having a discussion with Commander Cruger. They were told to get a well-deserved break the following day after weeks and long months of hard work and vigorous training. It's been quiet for the past few days, and no harm was done to the city. With a break coming their way, the five wandered in the room, pondering about their future plans, which would last for a day.

"The mall...or the spa?" Syd asks herself while examining her well perfect shaped nails. Z, who was listening to music, took off her headphones, just in time to make a mockery of her roommate.

"What about the toy store so you could play with ugly looking dolls?" She suggested in her sarcastic tone.

Excitement filled the blonde's eyes as her mouth fell open at the idea. "You know, maybe I should do that." She squeals. "I love toy stores!" The room came to a complete silence as everyone turned to the enthusiastic Syd, and exchanged weird glances. She furrowed her eyebrows. "What?"

Jack looks away, embarrassed by it all. "Right." He shook his head and faces Bridge, who was in a handstand position. "So...what are your plans, Bridge?"

He thinks for a moment as he balances on his head. "Not sure. Maybe work on upgrades with Ric, or maybe...install new computer parts." He jumps out of his handstand and stood up. "Or maybe...visit the library and read." He nods his head. "Yeah, I'll do that."

Jack makes a weird face. "Very exciting." He thought sarcastically.

"Jack," Z makes her approach as Sky looks up from the book he was reading, "you think you want to hit the streets and see what's up?"

He smiles. "Actually, I think I'm going to stay here."

"What for?"

Their leader shrugged his shoulder. "There are stack of files I still need to go through, Z. Not to mention, a few assessment on my part."

"But, Jack this is our only break. You can practice shooting anytime you want."

He nods. "Well yeah...but I kinda don't want to go anywhere. This place is like home. Besides, in case something goes wrong, one of us would be here."

Z rolls her eyes. "Can you be anymore boring?" She grunted disappointingly and walks away.

"Hey, can I talk to you for a second?" Sky asks as he makes his way over to Jack while staring off towards Z's direction and watched as she exits the room.

"Sure."

Bridge and Syd listened carefully. "Alone." Sky muttered irritably once he caught them snooping around.

"Fine." They slowly walk out of the room as the doors closed behind them. Suspicion and mere curiosity plastered all over their grinning faces as Bridge and Syd place their ears against closed doors to listen.

"What's up, Sky?"

The cadet sighed deeply. "You and Z are good friends right?"

Jack raises an eyebrow. "Correct."

"Are you two," Sky pauses in mid-sentence and smirks, "you know?"

"Huh?"

He takes a deep breath. "Is there any physical attraction going on?"

"Between me and Z!" Jack splutters out in disbelief. "No! No Never." He nods his head, followed by an amused chuckle. "Z is like my sister. Nothing more."

"Oh."

"Why you ask?"

He shrugged his shoulders. "I was just curious."

"Uh huh." Jack looks at him suspiciously.

"What?"

"There's something you're not telling me." He assumed.

Sky keeps a straight face. "There's nothing to tell."

"Look, I know we don't always see eye to eye." Jack reminded him. "And we're not exactly the best of friends. However, we are teammates and you can tell me anything."

Syd and Bridge continue to listen on the other side.

"Alright." A small smile appeared on Sky's face. "There is something."

Jack smirks. "Well?"

"I think I'm attracted to Z."

Syd was taken by surprise as a soft gasp escape from her lips. Bridge was force to cover her mouth to prevent any noise.

"Z huh?" Jack nodded his head and turned away at the thought. "Wow."

"Is that a wow wow or a bad wow?"

"Wow...as in, I didn't expect this coming wow."

Sky chuckles. "Yeah, I guess it's a surprise."

"How is that even possible?" Jack was suddenly confused. "I mean...I thought you hated us."

He nodded his head and sighs. "Okay, I admit. I didn't like the idea of working with you guys, but ever since Commander Cruger place you in B-squad, you've guys significantly changed us and made the squad a better and stronger team." He smiles. "You guys taught us alot about teammwork and watching out for one another, just like the bond you have with Z. And..." Sky stops and takes a deep breath, "I like you better now than I did before."

Jack smiles. "Gee. I've been waiting for you to say that."

He snorted. "I bet."

"But Z huh?" Jack still couldn't get over the shock. "Man, I thought you'd be more interested in someone like Syd."

"Oh God." She gasps on the other side of the door. "Please, don't say it. Please don't say it." Syd whispers hopefully while crossing her fingers.

"Oh no." He chuckled. "Syd and I go way back."

"Darn." She muttered.

'I knew it.' Jack thought. "So what happened?" He asks out of curiosity.

"Don't get me wrong. Syd is beautiful, smart, and tough. But we're both so different."

"So are you and Z."

"Yes, but the way she listens to her music and dances around..." Sky pauses as his cheeks turn a lighter shade of red. "It turns me on."

Syd and Bridge's mouths fell open as they listen intently and snickered at the same time.

"What!" Jack stares at him for a brief moment before bursting out in hysteric laughter. "Oh man, this is good. I can't wait till she hears this."

"NO! You can't tell her!" Sky snaps. "That would be embarrassing."

"Well, what do you want from me?"

"Do you think she would be interested in a guy like me?"

Jack cringes his nose and makes another weird face. "You want my opinion?" He nods, and waits for an answer. "I don't know...man." Jack stammers nervously. "You've been tough on us lately. Not to mention, an egocentric, selfish, harsh and arrogant guy."

He glares at him. "Thanks."


"What are you guys doing?"

"What! Nothing!" Syd and Bridge hurriedly shuffled to their feet once they were caught on the floor trying to grab information from the other side, or so it seemed. Z, on the other hand, eyes them suspiciously--waiting for an explanation. "Nothing at all. Boy, you gave us a fright there." Syd breathed heavily.

"Nothing?" She crosses her arms and smirks, skeptical with their response. Syd and Bridge exchange worried looks. "Hmm...Seems to me that you two were spying."

"Spying?" Syd laughs pathetically. "No, we weren't."

Z nods her head in dismay. Moments later, sliding doors open as Jack and Sky unexpectedly meets up with the others on the other side. "Whoa." They stood back in surprise. "Were you guys standing here all along?"

Syd and Bridge looked at each other. "No..."

"I left peanuts in there." The blonde pouts, coming up with some lame excuse.

Z stares down from the corner of her eye and catches Syd grasping onto the stuff animal behind. "Uh...Syd," she taps her on the shoulder and smiles, "you're holding it."


"I can't believe you guys are dragging me into this. But I'm only going because she's going," The only female in the group smiles and offers a small wink in return.

"Sensei is gonna freak when he finds out."

"Yeah. And when he does, there's a good chance that we'll be suspended from the academy." Another adds.

"Dude, he won't. You guys worry too much. Chill out."

"Chill out? We're breaking academy rules. How can you expect us to not worry about your crazy idea?"

"She's right. We're teachers now. Shouldn't we be setting an example for our students?"

"No one is going to find out."

"You're not exactly the smart one. Cam will find out eventually!"

"How often does he clean up and check for missing scrolls anyway? Besides, if he does find out, we'll just say...it's for a training thing."

"Training thing?"

"Yeah, training thing."

"What's the point of this again?"

"The point is to have fun..." he grins, "in the year 2020."
