A desperate struggle
The strongest takes it all
The battle rages on
Until the weakest finally fall
A vision fills her heart
And gives her strength that's pure and true
And when it seems that all is lost
She knows what she must do
She's got the power
Oh, she's got the power
She's got the power
Yeah, she's got the power

As a girl, I've been taught that knowledge is power and that to use that power, all I have to do is use my brain. I've also been taught that being a girl means I have advantages and disadvantages over my male counterparts. What my mother never warned me about is that when you fall in love and you realize he loves you back, power is no longer in the palm of your hand. It becomes a shared weapon, on that both of you learn to use to your advantage. It becomes a weapon that can either make or break you. After a rough, sleepless night, I've decided it's not going to break me. One way or another, I'm going to prove to Sky that its all on him whether he does something about this thing that's between us. I've made plenty of moves, and this is my last one.
"Cadet Drew and I are going to demonstrate how those of you who are shorter in stature can get your opponent down with close hand to hand moves," Sky explains to the D Squad cadets. Some of them are older than both of us, which makes this a little awkward for all of us. Since Gruumm showed up, we've had an influx of new cadets looking to work their way up to being a Ranger. For the older cadets, it's a bit of a sting to know Cruger isn't activating another Ranger team until we learn the status of A Squad.
"Syd, ready?" Sky asks. I shake off my thoughts and prepare to start the demo.
"There's no way the SPD Princess is going to be able to fend you off without her Ranger powers," one of the male cadets smirks.
I level the cadet who said that with a look. Sky's standing to my left, arms folded over his chest, a smirk on his face. "You think so?" Sky asks. I've heard the tone he's using before. It means he's pissed off. "Ready Syd?"
I nod and we move a little father away from the group. Sky's giving me look, one that I can't read. "What's wrong?" I ask softly.
"Don't go easy on me. I want to prove a point to him." I look at him in confusion. Even on my best day, I can't really beat Sky without him being easy on me. "Syd, you've got girl powers you whip out when you want something, let's prove a point to them by you using them."
When I realize what he means, I can only nod and grin. Who'd have thought he was aware that I used being a girl to get what I wanted most of the time, especially from him? "You sure? This could be potentially embarrass the hell out of you."
"I'm sure."
I turn to face the cadets and Sky wraps and arm around my shoulders and neck and one around my waist. "Okay, now, grab the hand like this," I start, grabbing the hand at my left shoulder. "Apply pressure to the pressure points." I do exactly as I explain and feel Sky tense and steel himself against the movement.
Carefully, I guide the group through, step by step. Before the cadets have time to blink, I'm flipping Sky over my shoulder. He lands on the mats in front of me, with my hand still applying pressure to his. "And for all you girls, if you try this on your boyfriends, you have the added advantage of using his own body against him." So saying, I clamor over the top of Sky and sit down on his hips, my hands coming to rest on his upper arms, effectively pinning him to the ground.
The girls are clapping and the boys are wincing. I can't help but grin down at Sky when I feel his body start reacting to the close proximity of my own. "Any questions?" Sky asks from his spot on the ground.
"Just one," Jack calls out as he, Z and Bridge approach our demonstration. Our Red Ranger is smirking, and I seriously don't like the glint in his eyes. "How do you get rid of the hard on you're going to get if your girlfriend uses that maneuver on you?"
Sky's face just turned the color of Jack's uniform. Z's smirking, Bridgey's eyes are wide and I can hear the snickers behind me. I smile down at Sky, hopefully reassuring him that I've got this under control, before turning my attention back to Jack. "Why are you asking? It's not like you have to worry about that anytime soon, right?" I saucily throw at him.
Our Red Ranger's face just scrunches up at me while everyone else laughs. Sky's chuckling is reverberating through me. "Okay guys, demonstration over," Sky calls to the cadets. "Time to run course 4 and then you can head in and shower."
The cadets salute as I move to get off Sky, then reach down to help him up. He has a rather noticeable bulge in his sweats. Shaking my head, I move forward and hug him. He stiffens in shock before he sighs and relaxes, his arms coming up around me. "Sorry," I murmur into his chest.
"It was my idea," he grins. "I should know by now not to do that with you, especially since my body likes the stimulus too much."
I can't help but giggle as I let go. The others are watching us, smirking. "So, what's next on our agenda?"
"You're going to show me hot to use that move on Bridge," Z grins while Bridgey blushes. Jack's just shaking his head at us and I know Sky's grateful the attention is off him.
"I'm hungry, let's go grab lunch."
The others just laugh as we head in to change and eat.
