It Was You All Along
Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers!
(A/n: 6months later. I know 6months! Sky/Z became best of friends and many little moments took place between them to bring them closer, I leave it up to you to think about it! Z's feelings for Sky are stronger, and Sky has now forgotten about Syd's betrayal and Z has become "his person" to whom he has no problem opening up to.)
Its 11pm in the night and Z tiptoes her way to the balcony of the commander's room to scare Sky but Sky simply glares at her saying "You're late." And then notices something about her, rolls his eyes and mutters "Oh my god not again. She's gonna be late isn't she?" Z simply looks at him blankly. Sky rolls his eyes and complains "Ah why bother." He then walks past her only to see another Z almost shooting in and sliding to stop in front of him smiling sheepishly and pleading "Sorry sorry sorry I got…" She was cut off when Sky rolled his eyes and completed her sentence for her "I got late because of the wait what did you bring today?" She shows him two big square boxes and he says almost completely out of practice "I got late because of the pizza I know Z I know." He moved on to get two cola cans from the fridge, Z silently fiddling with the corners of the pizza box and waiting for him to complete his rant and he continues "What's new? And Z the replica thing?" He says pointing to the girl standing in the balcony "Is getting old. So please next time think of something better." Z chuckles and looks at her replica and she vanishes and then goes to the balcony, Sky following her with drinks, and asks "How can you even tell the difference Sky? No one can! Even I get confused sometimes!" Sky smiles as he sees her sitting in her spot as usual on the mattress having two pillows behind her and one on her lap and answers while sitting and passing a can to her "Well I just can." Z lifts one eyebrow up, Sky sees that and answers "What? I can! Well the replica doesn't annoy me as much as the original does." Z scoffs "Yeah right."
Sky then mock glares at her and then looks deep into her beautiful brown yes "Ok fine the difference lies in your eyes, your replicas don't have your eyes." Z gets almost shocked and summons her replica and sees right into her eyes. Sky simply laughs at both Z's staring into each other and says "Z you are a big time freak!" Z then hits him in the hand and he rubs his arms mouthing an 'Ow'. Z's replica then disappears and Sky mocks her "Wait we'll be needing Referee Delgado summon her back!" Z then shoots back "No we don't cause we're not playing cards today!" "We're not?" Sky asks. Z then smiles "No we're gonna talk... okay you know what happened today in the common room? Tylor gave me a red rose and..." Sky now annoyed "God not Tylor again. Why doesn't he give up already?!" Z's heart starts beating rapidly thinking about Sky getting jealous she says "I know right? Kyle's more sensible than his brother. You know what Kyle said the funniest thing today..." Sky heard Z tell him about the day and how much fun did he miss but he couldn't understand why was he feeling so jealous of Tylor, he knew Z didn't like Tylor like that and the way Z's been talking about Kyle, he can't stop getting jealous of Kyle now...his thoughts were interrupted when he heard Z laughing saying "...and SOPHIE? Oh my god she fell right on top of him! Poor Bridge! When will Tylor and SOPHIE ever stop fighting!?" Sky saw her laugh and also laughed. Z then hit him in the arm "Heyyy you weren't even listening!" She glared at him. He tried to save it "I was!" She simply said "You are a terrible liar Sky do you want me to summon Referee Delgado again?" Sky couldn't help but laugh "Referee Delgado is biased towards you for obvious reasons!"
"She is not!" Z shot back.
"Is too."
"Is not!"
"Is too!"
"Is nottt!"
Sky puts his hands up as if he is surrendering "Okay okay! Now enough about you, you won't believe what happened to me today I had a video chat with Cruger!" "No way Cruger!?" Z asked shocked as they had not spoken to him since when Sky got promoted. "Yeah! He's giving major funding to add to the zords..." and then Sky continued to tell his day as they both ate the pizzas Z tearing the slice from the crusts and then only eating the slice which made Sky very happy because those leftover crusts always made a good snack for him later on.
The alarm went off around 4:59am, Z got up as usual and told Sky she was leaving Sky mumbled something in his sleep to put an alarm for 6am on his morpher which made Z roll her eyes since she did that practically every day anyways, she then saw him sleep, she then took his morpher and set the alarm and then before getting up she saw him sleeping, she saw him every day but today she couldn't figure out why but Sky looked so gorgeous sleeping peacefully and Z couldn't help herself but stare at him and gave a small kiss on his cheek and then immediately ran out hoping he wasn't awake.
Sky got up when his alarm rang at 6a.m. he thought he would go to gym half n hour late today, he was looking forward going to the gym since he had to ask Z about her little kiss in the morning and he loved to see the headstrong girl blush. At around 7a.m. Sky kept looking at the gym doors while doing his pushups waiting for Z. He was wearing a fitted black gym sando with grey gym shorts and grey gym shoes with black socks. Many cadets got conscious when they saw the commander gymming with them, Sky simply rolled his eyes and said as he got up wiping his sweat with a towel "Cadets you don't need to pay attention on me you can carry on." When he looked towards two female cadets they squealed getting excited that their hot commander saw them. Sky simply looked away and smiled just then he saw Z come in walking and talking with Bridge holding her gym bag wearing a fitted blue and yellow sleeveless gym blouse and fitted black gym shorts with black gym shoes and blue ankle length socks. Her hair was open, Sky just couldn't stop staring at her, and he didn't know he was lost in her when Bridge said "Hey Sky! I mean commander. You here? Now?" Bridge was wearing white gym shorts with a red gym sando and black gym shoes with red socks, he also wore a white head sweat band. Sky looked at Bridge and said "Yeah I got up late." Z suddenly said "Why? I did put the alarm!" Sky glared at her and Bridge looked at her confused and asked "Why would you put an alarm on his morpher Z he's a control freak."
It was Bridge's turn to receive an icy glare from Sky. Z then said "Oh I mean Sky had told me to put the alarm while I was on...night duty." Bridge satisfied with her answer went to the bench press. Z then whispered to Sky "I had put an alarm, I didn't forget! Wait did I?" She then looked up with one finger on her chin and the other hand on her hip. Sky simply rolled his eyes and smiled facing her so that no one else could see and said "You did put it Z and I got up too but I came late for a reason." Z asked "Why?" looking genuinely confused as Sky would never do anything out of schedule. He was about to say when Z stopped looking at him and turned to look towards the mirror and started bunching her hair and Sky had enough view of her toned body when her hands were up busy making a high ponytail. Sky's daze was interrupted when Z asked looking back at him waving a hand in front of his face "Hello? Sky?" He was about to say something just when Tylor and Kyle came in shouting and laughing and Kyle greeted "Heyyy commander!" Sky looks at him and smiles, Tylor simply gives a fake smile when he sees Z standing close to Sky he thinks 'Z maybe just there to ask something he's the commander after all, but the way these two talk and laugh nowadays, naaaahh, Sky Tate is not Z's type' his thoughts were cut off when Kyle said "You ready Ty? We were going to spar." Tylor looks at him "Yeah K." But as he sees Sky smiling at Z and and Sky's mouth opens to say something to her, he turns his head a bit to his brother, eyes still fixed on Sky and Z "Not now K...later." Kyle simply shrugs his shoulders and Bridge jumps on an unsuspecting Kyle as they now start sparring. Before Sky could say a word Tylor says "Heyyy Commander Tate." Sky and Z both look at him, as do other cadets, "You wouldn't mind sparring with me now would you?" continued Tylor. Sky noticed his voice was challenging and eyes showed a bit of playfulness, Tylor continue "You never workout with us and today's the day the mighty commander could play with us normal cadets." Sky and Z roll their eyes. Bridge smiles whilst sparring, Kyle's too busy dodging to even pay attention, Z and Sky look at each other and smile, Sky then looks back at Tylor and says "Bring it on green." and then stands in a fighting pose, Z simply chuckles and walks towards Tylor mouthing "You are dead!" and walks towards the other spectators as Tylor also gets into a fighting pose.
(A/n: Who ll win? Tylor loves fighting just to remind you ;) And SOPHIE is not seen in the gym since she's a cyborg. I figured she didn't need to workout :P R/R guys)
