Author's Note: Sorry it took so long. Was working my butt off these few days. So, here's chapter 4. Its getting intense!

Last time… "Its one or the other Syd. You choose. But you'd better make sure that your final decision will not jeopardize you and your life." With that Z walked back to her dorm, leaving behind a very confused Syd to think about who she should pick. I've liked Sky for a very long time. Now I have feelings for Bridge. This is not going to be an easy task for me. Where do I head from here? Slowly, she headed back to her dorm, crossing her arms on her chest.

OOOoooOOOoooOOOoooOOOooo

It has been nearly a week since Kayla was revived. SPD Earth headquarters had been crawling with reporters asking many questions about her revival, about how she was found, and even about her family. The rangers had to fend the reporters off for Kayla because she was refusing to answer any of the questions from the reporters. The reporters gave up eventually and left. Sky was glad they left. They were getting on to his nerves.

Kayla regained her ability to talk and to move around on her feet. Her memory of her past was still foggy. The only things she could remember were her family, her age and the day she got shot. To remember that you nearly died and awoke more than forty years later is not a very nice feeling.

Kayla was in normal civilian clothing. She's currently residing in one of SPD's bunk. A few days before, Bridge had graciously gotten permission from Sky to transfer Kayla from the ward to somewhere more comfortable. He even asked Kayla her dress size. She was combing her hair when she remembered what Z told her.

Flash back

"He forced me to go shopping with him. I hate shopping. It's tiring you know. So I told him to get Syd instead of me. Sadly, Syd was busy training the new members to go shopping so I had no choice but to go."

"That's nice of him to go shopping for me. How did he manage to get me undergarments?"

"Haha! Now that was the funny bit! We were walking past a lingerie boutique when he stopped right at the display window. He asked if you might need those. So, I said, of course you did."

"Did he go in?"

"He did but he ran out a few seconds later, blushing like crazy!"

End of flash back.

"That was cute." Kayla mused to herself.

Suddenly a voice came from behind her. "What's cute?"

She jumped off her seat and turned back only to be greeted by Bridge. She let out a sigh of relief and gave a little smile. "You scared me, Bridge."

Bridge scratched the back of his head and gave her a puppy dog stare. "I'm sorry."

"You're forgiven," Kayla walked over to him and ruffled his hair like how an owner would do to his pet dog after seeing that cute stare. She gave a giggle and said, "I suppose Sky is waiting for me."

"Yup, he is. Lets go." Bridge led the way to Sky's office where he was waiting. Kayla was feeling quite nervous because she had no idea what Sky would say or ask her.

When they have reached Sky's office, Sky told Kayla to sit down. Bridge was about to leave when Sky told him to sit down as well.

"You may be wondering why I asked you here." Sky began. Kayla nodded her head.

"I'm placing you under house arrest." Sky said.

Kayla was taken aback by his order. "Why? I'm not a criminal."

"I agree with her Sky. You can't put her under house arrest." Bridge stated.

"Look, its not that you're a criminal. I just want to make sure that you're alright. You still haven't regained your memory. I'm just worried that something bad might happen to you when your memory suddenly comes rushing back." He explained. "It's not like you're not allowed to go further than SPD perimeters. You are free to do so. But I'm placing Bridge as your guardian. You are not to go anywhere without him."

Bridge's eyes was as wide as saucers. "Me? Kayla's guardian? Her Guardian?"

Sky nodded his head. "Yes. Her guardian. Until she regains enough of her memories that is."

The both of them were dismissed after Sky said some more things.

"So, what do you want to do now?" Bridge asked Kayla when they were walking to wards one of SPD's canteens.

"Well, I need to eat first. Than maybe you could show me around New Tech City?"

"Sounds like a plan," commented Bridge. "What do you want to eat?"

"I feel like eating something buttery. Is there by any chance buttery toast somewhere in the canteen?" Kayla asked.

Bridge was shocked that Kayla actually likes buttery toast. "Well, there is."

Syd was in her room fixing her hair when Z came in.

"Hi, Z." Syd greeted.

"Hey," Z greeted back. "So, made up your mind already?"

"No. Not yet. But somehow, all evidence points that I should pick Bridge." Syd stopped fiddling with her hair and turned around from the mirror to face Z. "I'm confused, Z. I don't know where to head from here."

"How about I tell you that Sky placed Kayla under house arrest with Bridge as her guardian. What would you say?"

"He what? Bridge as Kayla's guardian?" Syd repeated that little bit.

Z nodded her head. "Yup. Furthermore, I just saw Bridge and Kayla leave SPD. I think Bridge is showing Kayla around New Tech City."

"He kept his hands to himself, right?" asked Syd dangerously.

"Yup. He did. And so did Kayla. But I can't get this strange feeling that if you prolong your decision, Bridge will never be yours." Z stated while twirling her hair on her finger.

"What do you mean?"

Z let out an exasperated breath. "I mean that Bridge is beginning to fall for Kayla! And you know Bridge can't keep his mouth shut for long."

Syd stared at Z in disbelief. She couldn't believe what she just heard. "How did you know about this? Did he tell you?"

"Syd, you're too blinded by your thoughts that you didn't even realize the way that Bridge looks at her." Z began to feel irritated. "His eyes always had that sparkle. But when he looked at Kayla, the sparkle brightened up even more. He is beginning to love Kayla. Love Syd. Not Like."

Syd felt the entire world came crashing down on her. She couldn't even stand anymore. Her knees wobbled like jelly. She sat down on the nearest chair that she could reach. "How could this happen?"

"This happened because you were too slow. But I wouldn't say that you ran out of time." Z left after the last statement.

Syd felt tears welling up in her eyes and were threatening to fall anytime. I can't believe this. She buried her face in her palms and cried her heart out.

Author's Note: So, how was this? Some of you may not like the fact that Bridge is falling for Kayla. There may be a twist, there may not be. Depends if you review. )
