Epilogue: I Have Not Begun to Fight

Sydney smiled brightly as she stood in the command center with Bridge and Sky. The tournament had ended the day before with Syd in the top spot. Commander Crugar and Dr. Manx were congratulating them on their promotion. She couldn't believe she actually won. She'd come a long way since she'd taken that entrance exam. Sky was already talking about being promoted to B-squad. They were only just now being promoted to C-squad. They had a ways to go before they could be promoted again.

Dr. Manx handed them their new C-squad training uniforms, and Syd once again thought about how surreal all of this was. Sydney Drew the pop star, gymnast, and artist was an SPD Cadet. She knew people were going to wonder why she would give up all of that for the military like life of SPD. The Cadets were still whispering about her. They still muttered about her not deserving the promotion and the various ways she could have cheated her way into it.

But to be honest…she didn't care.

SPD had given her a purpose and had shown her that she could do anything she set her mind to if she worked hard enough. She was not helpless. Not that she was going to completely change or anything. She was still Sydney Drew. Pink was her signature color, she still couldn't go to sleep without Peanuts (her stuffed elephant), she loved beautiful outfits and matching shoes, and her nail beds would always be taken care of.

She was still Sydney Drew…only so much better.

I want to thank everyone for their reviews! This is one of my favorite things that I have written and it hope it wasn't too much like Legally Blonde. The plots were basically the same, I know, but I hope you guys got some really great character exploration out of this story! I certainly enjoyed writing about how our original three SPD cadets became a team. and incase you didn't know the story title comes from a song in "Legally Blonde the Musical" called "So Much Better" and the actual idea for the story came from another song from that show called "Chip on my Shoulder".

This idea would have never actually been written if it wasn't for Power Rangers United's Triple Threat Challenge and Catt001's (aka BlueEyedDragonGirl) request that we team up for the challenge. She made an amazing trailer and poster for this story (links to them can be found on my profile page). Starting in March, Members of Power Rangers United can vote for a Challenge winner amongst all the other entries. So, if you're not a member check out PRU! I'll be there so you can drop me and line and say hi if you'd like!

Hope to see some of you guys at PRU! Thanks for reading!
