"Things weren't always easy for your grandma and I. We fought like cats and dogs." Sky started, Syd burst into a fit of giggles.

"Oh the Commander and Kat would've loved to hear you say that." Sky arched his eyebrows, "Please continue, Sky." Syd pulled her youngest granddaughter towards her. Sky smiled and continued with his story,

"So this one day I had just gotten a new action figure, a power ranger, a red one. Well, Uncle Bridge and Grandma both wanted to play with it..."


Flashback

"Please Sky?" the bouncing blonde asked looking at him with her famous 'puppy pout'. He shook his head,

"No Syd. I just got it." Suddenly he was being jumped on by two kids.

"How about now?" Syd chirped, smiling at him. He turned and saw his friend Bridge siting on top of his legs. He groaned,

"Hey Sky. So can I play with it?" Sky looked up at the blonde,

"I already told Syd I just got it, besides it's red. You like green and Syd likes pink. Maybe you can play with it late...SYD!!" He yelled as she took off running with his power ranger action figure. Bridge jumped off of him and Sky took a minute to reliaze that he could get off the ground. Angry at himself for letting Syd fool him again he set off to find her. He looked around the yard looking for his pink friend. He heard laughter coming from the trees near their clubhouse. He took off in a run towards the clubhouse. Slowing to a crawl he snuck up on his friends, Bridge saw him first.

"Syd look out its Sky!" Bridge called out as he took off across the yard again. Syd shrugged her shoulders and smiled brightly down at Sky.

"Syd I'm gonna get you." He warned slowly climbing the tree, she shrieked and he jumped down again,

"Okay Sky, I'll give you the action figure. But first help me get down? This is a new dress and my mom will have a fit if I ruin it." Syd pleaded, he nodded and stood directly underneath the branch she was climbing on. She slipped and crashed into him. They landed in a pile with her on top of him.

"Thanks for breaking my fall, Sky." Syd mumbled. He went to talk but he was out of breath. She suddenly jumped up,

"Oh Sky did I hurt you?" she questioned scared, he sat up slowly,

"Nope, not a chance Sydie." he said using the nickname she hated. She looked angry and she stood up, and glared down at him.

"I HATE being called SYDIE!" she screamed, he covered his ears and nodded to make her stop screaming. She did and then walked off with his action figure.

"Grandma really did that?"

"Yes she did and I got teased by uncle Bridge endlessly for it." He turned to look at his wife,

"Well, you deserved it. I hated that nickname." she said smirking at him, "And that action figure was so not worth the fight." He laughed at her,

"My mom said it was a red and pink thing." he told the grandchildren, one of the children who had been quiet suddenly asked,

"But Grandpa weren't you blue first? You didn't become red until later." Sky shook his head,

"Yes, Chris I was blue first. But, I think my mom knew someday I'd be red. I always wanted to be, from the time I was about Alicia's age." he smiled at the youngest of their grandchildren. She smiled brightly,

"But, the funny thing was that when we were about mid way through our teen years we all developed powers."

"Do you remember the look on Bridge's face when he read our auras right after we kissed that first time?" Syd questioned looking at her husband. He nodded, suddenly the children all started talking at once.

"Tell us about the first time you got your powers."

"Tell us about the time you guys first kissed."

"Poor uncle Bridge."

"When did you meet uncle Jack and aunt Z?"

"What about aunt Ally?"

"When did you guys join S.P.D.?"

"Who was the first monster you guys ever fought?"

"I'm hungry." Syd laughed at the questions and at her oldest grandson's bottomless pit of a stomach. He reminded her of her uncle Rocky Desantos. She had always enjoyed eating dinner with her parents best friends. It was the only time they spoke openly about their time as rangers. She looked at her husband,

"Okay so how about we go order pizza and then we'll watch a movie?" Sky nodded and got up to go order the pizzas. The grandchildren were arguing over what movie to watch.

"I wanna watch the new princess movie."

"No let's watch a scary movie" the older boys argued.

"How about a fairy tale?" the girls suggested. The boys grimaced,

"No way! I wanna watch an action movie." Syd laughed,

"Then, I have the perfect movie for us to watch. As soon as Grandpa brings down the pizzas, I'll start the movie."

"Grandma, what is it?" they asked,

"You'll see."

Okay it's been awhile but I'm working on all the stories and new ones as well.
