"Okay, I have a question." Bridge rubbed his palms together and looked at his teammates. "If you were–"
"Here we go again," Sky muttered, burrowing further into his book.
"Lighten up Sky," Syd admonished him as she hit him on the arm. Turning her attention to Bridge, she smiled sweetly. "What was it again, Bridgey?"
"Well, if you were stuck in an island with only one thing to bring, what will it be?"
The sliding doors opened to reveal Z. "I would say... a boat," she answered, sinking onto the chair beside Bridge. "Just so I can get back to civilization."
The Blue Ranger opened his mouth to say something, but abruptly changed his mind. "You know, I never thought of that. Brilliant." He grinned at Z.
Syd rolled her eyes. "Oh, please. Where's the challenge in that? As for me, I'd probably bring my solar-powered hair dryer. Just so when I get spotted by anyone, I won't look a mess." She patted her perfect hair and winked at Bridge.
Sky raised his brow but said nothing.
"What about you?" Z asked, lightly kicking Sky's shoe. "What will you bring?"
He swatted her foot away with his book. "Do I really have to answer?"
"Yes!"
"You haven't even asked Bridge yet."
"Oh please." Z pointed at Bridge. "Everyone in the free world knows what he'll bring."
"Everyone in the–that's not true," Bridge said defensively. "You all think I'll bring an ordinary toaster, right? Well, you're wrong. I'll bring something else. My solar-powered toaster."
"Ha." Z grinned.
"Your turn," Syd told Sky.
"I'll bring my morpher," Sky informed them. He looked at Z. "Happy now?"
"Oh, as if that's a surprise." She kicked him again. "Saving the world from anywhere in the world. Typical."
"I've got another question. What if you have to be stuck in that island with just one person. Bring anything you want, but you have to endure being with that one person forever. Who will you choose?"
They were all silent for a minute.
Sky glanced at Z.
Bridge looked at Syd.
Z bit her lip.
Syd smiled. "Well, if I'm going to be stuck in an island, I'll choose–"
"Bridge," Z volunteered quickly, straightening in her seat. "Yep, I choose Bridge."
Syd frowned. "But I–"
"Bridge?" Sky repeated, gawking at Z.
"Well, yes!" Z said. She took Bridge's arm. "That's right. You and me, pal."
"Well... hey–" Bridge glanced at Syd and fidgeted when he caught her glaring at him. He tried to pry off Z's hold. "Well..."
"Then I'll be taking Syd," Sky said, looking straight at Z.
"What?" Syd squeaked. "But–"
"Yes. I'm taking you with me."
"Fine!" Z snapped.
"Fine!" Sky returned to his book. "At least, Syd doesn't get on my nerves like some people do," he muttered under his breath.
But Z caught it anyways. "Well, at least Bridge's name isn't synonymous with arrogant jerk!"
Sky set his book down. "Syd isn't stubborn enough to not ask for help when she really needs it!"
"Bridge doesn't act like he's the most faultless guy on the planet!" Z shot back.
Bridge shook his head. "I'm so sorry I even asked this question."
Syd reached over and patted him on the knee. "Yeah. You really should be."
"Syd doesn't make my head hurt most of the times!"
"And Bridge doesn't make me want to punch his brains out every day!"
"All right guys, enough! Geez!" Syd exclaimed, standing up.
Both Sky and Z fell silent.
"You know, this wasn't an excuse for you two to start fighting again! This was supposed to be fun!" Syd told them. "Plus, you didn't even ask us who we want to bring. Personally, I choose Bridge."
"Likewise." Bridge paused. "I mean, I won't choose me, of course. I choose Syd."
"There we go!" Syd said, perking up. "So since hypothetically both Bridge and I are taken... you guys should just choose each other. I mean..." She smiled innocently at them, "That's what you both want, right?"
Sky glanced at Z.
Z looked at Sky.
"Never," they both declared vehemently.
"Hopeless," Syd mouthed at Bridge.
