Z's POV
That… man was such a jerk! He totally, totally needs to get a reality check! How could he have made it this far with the way he has acted and treated people? How can he live with himself? He makes me so angry!
I was cut out of my fuming session by slamming head first into the very person I did not need to see at the moment.
"Watch where you're going." Sky snapped.
"Excuse me!" I snapped back.
We continued walking in the opposite direction, but an idea seized me. I can't go on like this! If we're supposed to be a team I won't take the crap from Sky that he doles out.
"Sky!" I shouted, spinning around and jogging to catch up with him.
"What is it, Cadet Delgado?" He asked.
"First of all, my name is Z." I began, but all I got from him was an eye roll which further fueled my fury. "And second of all, what is your problem?"
"My problem?" He asked, as if it was the stupidest question in the world.
"Yes, your problem."
Sky sucked in a breath clearly trying to tone down his anger.
"You want to know what my problem is?" He asked.
"Duh."
"It's you and Jack. It isn't right that you were stuck with B-Squad after the years of training we've had. And to add insult to injury, you're criminals!"
"You might remember something the big blue dog said Sky. We still kicked your butts even though you out numbered us. I also didn't realize that "acquiring" food and clothes for needy people were criminal acts." I answered, smugly.
"Whatever." Sky replied before starting to walk off. I softened up a bit. Ok, change your tactic Z.
"Wait, Sky." I called again, grabbing onto his arm, and pulling him back to face me. "Look, I know that we come from two different worlds, but we're a team now, and I think that we should at least try and be civil to one another."
Sky stood in thought for a moment, an argument clearly raging in his mind. He took a deep breath before answering.
"Alright. I agree with you. We are a team now as much as I dislike it. We have to work together, and it's better to act civil to each other than hateful."
I grinned, and held out my hand.
"Friends?" I asked.
"Friends." He replied, taking the hand that I had offered him and shook it briefly.
He may have said "friends", but I could tell that it would be awhile for us to create a bond of trust. I just hope that it would eventually happen.
Author's Note: I'm sorry if Sky and Z seem a little out of character. I tried to capture them as best as I could. I hope you enjoyed this first part.
