It Was You All Along

Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers.

It was 10:50pm on May 28th and Sky sighed as he lay on the mattress in his balcony, both hands behind his head and kept thinking about what Bridge had told him 10 days ago. He knew he had strong feelings for Z and he couldn't stop thinking about her but he was the commander, he had already made a mistake before when his feelings for Z overtook him, causing Tylor and Kyle to get badly injured, he was afraid that if he admitted to his feelings for Z, his judgement would be completely clouded. He was also scared because the last time he loved someone, she left him for another guy. So he kept his feelings on a low profile and tried to avoid Z as much as possible, she being she, noticed him avoiding her and took it bad because even after asking him a million times all he did was get angry at her and find ways to push her away from him.

Sky sighed again thinking that how Z had stopped coming to their 'night chats' from 5 days because one night all Sky did was frown at Z's jokes, complained for no reason about the food she ordered, make her feel like he wasn't happy with her being there, in short he was a pain in the ass.

Z missed talking to Sky and he could see that in her eyes but he was scared, and he hated himself for hurting the girl who was the only ray of light when he was in complete darkness. Sky then saw the empty mattress and saw Z's spot and how her 3 pillows were in their place but no Z, he missed her terribly and then realised how unfair he was to her, he then got up and shot out of his room, Sky almost ran in the hallways and saw Sophie walking in her uniform in the halls, she saw Sky and got shocked, and then asked "Hey Sky, what brings you here?"

"Hey Soph, I came looking for Z. Is she in your room?"

Sophie then smiled thinking about what Bridge had told her "Maybe Sky, I don't know, I just came back from the lab after working on some upgrades, I was actually heading towards Bridge's room." she said pointing towards the boys dorm.

Sky then smiled "Okay carry on.. I'll go check on her."

Sophie smiled and nodded walking away. Sky then took a deep breath and reached her door and knocked on it and called out "Z?"

No reply.

Sky then saw a note on the side of the door above the morpher scanner, it read "Soph,

I'm on night watch. I'll come by 11:30pm max.

Z"

Sky checked his watch it showed 11:05pm and then sighed and started walking away when a thought hit him 'Wait a minute I always wanted to know what was written behind Syd's letter that Z wouldn't show me... Should I go and... No no Sky it's wrong to sniff through other people's stuff.'

He then remembered Z's flushed face when she said "Hey that's personal!" "That message is only for me to know okay?"

Sky then just had to know, the many times he asked Z about the message behind that letter all she did was blush and change the topic or simply roll her eyes and glare at him, he was curious as to why a little message caused Z to act so awkward, she was perfectly fine otherwise... He decided he would go in and read the message and then leave. He couldn't be all good all the time. He then took his morpher and put it in the morpher scanner of her room and he was granted access because the commander had admin access to every room in SPD. He entered the room expecting to see Z's side to be completely messy but was shocked to see only her music player and towel were on her bed, her towel hanging on the edge of her bed as if being thrown, Sky then picks up the towel to put it fully on the bed when he gets a familiar fragrance of vanilla from it which makes him smile making him think about Z all over again. He then snaps out of it and looks at the clock in her room, it shows 11:10pm, he hurriedly starts looking for the silver box he saw Z put the letter in that day, hoping to find it in there. He sees it on her desk half closed and the letter peeping out as if she'd read the letter regularly. He then takes a deep breath before removing the letter to see Syd's familiar handwriting and turns it over.
