(A/n: Last chapter.)
2 weeks later. In the command centre the A-squad was seated on the round table while doing their work, as the commander sat in his chair talking to Kat for some new upgrades. Everything was normal. Sky and Z were going strong, so were Bridge and Sophie. Tylor had apologized for his behaviour to Sky and Z and was committed to Stacey. And Kyle was well... Kyle.
The phone rings on the commander's desk and Kat answers it on speaker "SPD."
"Can we speak to Sky Tate?"
Sky replies as he leans towards it "Sky Tate speaking."
The person on the line says "This is from Prinston Tech Hospital."
All eyes turn to Sky as he looks back confused as they did.
"Yes?"
"I have been requested by my patient Sydney Drew to inform a bad news to you. Due to her depression, she has suffered from miscarriage and has been sent to our rehabilitation centre to get over the trauma."
Sky looks wide-eyed at Z who mirrors his expression.
"Hello ?"
"Y...yes? Sorry. You were saying."
"She listed SPD as her second family address. So we were wondering if her friends could meet her for a speedy recovery, because even after the intense care of her parents and her partner she doesn't seem to recover."
" I'll have to inform this news to her friends and I'll call you back."
"Thank you ."

Deep silence.
After a while Z gets up "All c and d squad cadets are requested to leave the command centre."
Once the command centre consisted only of Sky, Kat, Boom and the A-squad, Z says "We need to go see her Sky."
Sky glared at her and shook his head "After what she did-"
Z cut him off "She's been punished for that Sky. We all heard what the doc had to say. She came to apologize a million times and we dismissed her a million times. I think it's time that we forgave her."
Bridge got up "I agree. She's actually sorry. No drama. When she came to SPD last week to apologize to you guys, her aura was clean. She really needs her friends Sky."
"But Bridge, she tried to sabotage Z and my relationship. How can I ever forgive her?"
Z put a hand on Sky's and said "But she couldn't right? We're still together."
Sky sighed.
Kat said "From an onlooker's point of view if everyone is happy, then what is in the past should stay there and Bridge got a clear reading of her aura and we know Bridge doesn't lie."
At the Prinston Tech Rehabilitation Centre.
Sky, Z, Bridge, Jack, Kat, Sophie, Tylor, Kyle, Boom and R.I.C. were being guided by through a really beautiful and fresh park where the rehab patients stayed to enjoy the beauty of nature. They saw a very thin and dull Syd sitting with no expression on her face on a swing staring into space while Justin sat beside her trying to get her to eat a sandwich.
Everyone's heart broke seeing her this way and Bridge opened his glove and waved his hand and got a clear reading on her aura and nodded at others. Z sighed but then put a happy face as she removed her phone and played Syd's song 'Me' on loudspeaker.
Syd heard her song and turned to see all her SPD friends standing in casual wear and Z whined "Gawwd. This is such a sucky song Pinkie. Why did you ever go pop?"
Syd's eyes widened as she got up, a smile coming on her face as she saw Z and saw her wearing both the lockets, she remembered Z throwing the locket out of the terrace while rushing out in tears. Z walked towards her smirking and Syd said while crying "Z you wore my locket!"
Z rolled her eyes "Ofcourse I did. Do you know how tough it was to go and look for this?"
Bridge said "Uhh Z. R.I.C found it... not you."
Z looked back and glared at him "Thanks Bridge."
Bridge smiled innocently "You're welcome Z!" causing everyone to roll their eyes and groan except Syd who laughed.
Syd then said "I'm sorry Z. I'm really sorry for everything. I just got jealous-"
Z cut her off while shaking her head "It doesn't matter Syd. It's all in the past. RIGHT SKY?"
Sky got a shock as he heard his voice and said "Uh yeah... Syd. Don't worry. The main deal is that we are all happy." and came up behind Z and held her waist smiling as Syd started tearing up.
"Oh my God! Thanks Sky!" as she hugged Justin happily who looked relieved and happy on finally seeing his Syd happy.
Sophie shouted "Group hug!"
Everyone came to where Sky, Z, Syd and Justin stood and hugged.
After they broke off, Syd said crying in happiness "I love you guys!"
Everyone looked at her lovingly and Z whined "Can it Syd. Before I lose my lunch." causing everyone to laugh and Syd to bawl even louder.
1 month later.
"This is unacceptable!"
"No it isn't."
"This is ridiculous!"
"I wouldn't call it ridiculous. I would call it efficient."
"Using my duplicates as waitresses is efficient ?"
"You asked for it. If you would have simply got that drink for me that day and not been a lazy ass, THIS wouldn't have been a trend."
"This is like referee Delgado all over again."
"But I have to say I love waitress Delgado much more than referee Delgado. Why thank you my dear!" said Sky as one of Z's replicates brought a bottle of water and vanished.
Z chuckled "And what about the real Delgado?"
Sky kissed her cheek, as he cuddled her on his lap, as she lay on him with her back on his hard abs and pulled up the comforter while they sat on the mattress in the balcony overlooking the beautiful city skyline, and said "The real Delgado? I'm nuts for that girl."
Z chuckled and then said seductively "Well I'm nuts for my commander..." and turned her head and kissed him slowly on his lips. Sky kissed her back as he moved his hands on her supple body under her short sleeveless silk nighty under the comforter causing her to moan softly. After they broke off, she rested her head on the crook of his neck and kissed his jaw, and he said "Z?"
Z said "Hmm?"
Sky held her with one hand and reached for a silver box on the side table with the other hand and put the box on her flat tummy as they both sat up straight and Z asked casually, not particularly excited by gifts "What is this?"
Sky rested his head on her shoulder "Open it." as he nuzzled her neck and started biting and kissing it. Sky knew she was a really simple girl and wasn't impressed by gifts but by character but he was also positive that she would absolutely love the surprise inside the box. She had been leaving enough hints for a long time now and she thought he didn't catch it.
Z chuckled feeling his lips on her neck and opened the box to find a smaller square box inside surrounded by many red and white rose petals, she turned her head towards him shocked, a big smile forming on her face causing him to smile and say "Go on open it."
Z opened it to find a platinum band with a small diamond in the middle, Z's heartbeat increased while her expression changed from excited to awestricken as she held the little box in her hand. Sky kissed her bare shoulder and took the box from her hand and removed the band from the box and made her sit opposite to him. As they both sat opposite to eachother, Sky held Z's hands in his and looked deeply into her eyes and said "Ellie... It's no shock that I'm madly in love with you. You are the only one who can make me strong and weak at the same time. You are the only one who can make me smile even when I don't want to. You always had trust on us and never gave up. Z... you maybe lazy, stubborn, over smart, annoying, goofy, absentminded, overconfident, messy, arrogant..."
"Sorry to interrupt but this is a proposal. Just saying..." whispered Z and Sky chuckled.
"Oh sorry... you may be all of that, but you are also beautiful, sweet, daring, courageous, funny, understanding, brave, loving, cute, caring, selfless, headstrong, helpful... Z... you are my bestfriend, my love, my girlfriend, but being my girlfriend just isn't gonna work for me anymore. So Elizabeth Delgado, will you marry me?"
Z who was close to tears, in a very un-Z like manner squealed "Yes! Yes I will marry you!" and threw her arms around him as he chuckled and hugged her tightly as she said "It's about time!"
When they broke apart Sky put the ring on her finger and kissed her hand and she cupped his face and smashed her lips into his as they kissed deeply and got lost in eachother in the very same spot where it all started.
The end.
