Author's Note: I was sitting here writing and I thought I write a lot about the guys of S.P.D. Why not the girls? So this is a short story told in Syd's point of view. It's before Meeting of the Past and Red and Pink Wedding.

I knew he liked me the first time I saw him. Those blue eyes widened as I walked in and I knew he was checking me out.
We were eleven.
His best friend (and eventually mine) was a weird boy he had known since they were eight. The dark headed, blue eyed boy was quirky and erratic but he was a genius. He had created many different little electronics. Some of them he had given to his friend, which were proudly broadcasted in their shared room at the base.
As they shared a room, one side was bland with only the said objects from above. The other side…well, that was a pigsty. It was junked with anything and everything the younger man had found and managed to stuff it all in there.
I walked by the game room to find them both playing a random game that no doubt the younger had conned the other into. He always smiled while playing with him, no matter how crazy the idea was. Every now and again he criticized his friend, but all the other had to do was give him the puppy dog eyes and he was drawn back in.
No matter how bad he yelled at the two of us, one the quiet genius and the other a spoiled brat, he always had our backs.
That's why I knew I loved him before I met him.
