I'd Do Anything
Sky Tate and the rest of the SPD cadets prepare for their rigorous daily martial arts training session. Luckily for Sky, it was something he was good at. Everyone, even Jack, knew that Sky was the best fighter on the B-squad. But there was one thing the Sky Tate was not good at -handlinghis emotionsarounda certain Pink ranger, Sydney Drew. He and Syd, along with Bridge, had been the original B-squad trio. They had endured a lot together - the struggles of getting along, the conquest for rangerdom, and even late night clean-ups. But now, Sky had certain feelings for Syd. Not just a crush on the surface, but something deeper - love. Every time he tried to confront her, he got nervous and said something about what stupid thing Bridge did yesterday. But this time it would be different. He knew it would.
SPD Headquarters
"Where's Sky? He should have been here by now. He's never late for training. Ever." said Bridge.
"He's probably somewhere still thinking about how he was supposed to be the red ranger or studying the SPD handbook or..." Z was cut off abruptly by a restless Syd. "Well maybe he is out having fun somewhere. You never know." They all stared at Syd and laughed.
"Sky, having fun. Are you mental. Sky and fun do not mix." countered Jack. At that, he was slappedon the shoulderby Syd. "Oww. What's you problem." said Jack. "Well, one of these days Sky might actually surprise us by doing something different." quipped Syd. As she had finished speaking, Sky came running into the room. "Sorry I'm late guys, I was speaking with Commander Cruger about our last battle" Sky explained.
"Or not" admitted Syd, embarrassed. "Or not what?" asked Sky.
Bridge piped up and said, "We all bet that you were off reading the handbook or something, except for Syd. She actually had the nerve to say that you might be having fun." Jack, Z, and Bridge laughed again.
"You really stood up for me?" Sky asked Syd. "Yeah, in a way, I guess." she quietly said. As the cadets left for training, Sky thought to himself, 'Man, I can't believe it. Syd actually thought I was out having fun. She must not know me very well. Or maybe she knows me too well.Maybe she likes me too. Either wayI'm starting to sound like Brigde.Nah, she couldn't possibly fall for boring me.' He shook his head.
After their training session, the B-squad sat down and ate dinner. Sky still thought about Syd and how he would confront her.
He finally got his chance.
"Hey Syd, wait up" he said as the rest of the team left. "Ok." Sky cleared his throat, "I wanted to talk to you about what happened earlier.""Ok. So what's up?" asked the ever-so-calm Syd.
All Sky could think about was how much he liked her and how beautiful her curly hairlooked accented with those blonde highlights. He froze. "Sky, are you all right?" asked Syd worriedly. He shook himself mentally. "Yeah. Just fine. Um, I wanted to tell you that... Um... I wanted to let you know that..." Sky said as Syd noticed that he was sweating. "Are you sure you're okay? Because you don't look fine to me. I'll take you to the infirmary or back to your room if you want." said Syd. "Thanks. Could you walk with me back to my room?" Sky said with much relief. "Um, sure I guess." It was all he could do tokeep standingas she put her arm around his waist. He felt everything disappear with her touch. They neared he and Bridge's room. Asshe exitedhis room he barely made out a "Th-a-nks S-s-yd."And Syd responded, "Any time, Sky."
After Syd had exited the room, Bridge nearly choked on one of his chips as he lay on his bed snacking."You like her, like her don't you." Bridge said with a bit of assurity and mockery in his voice. "No. No I don't. Only as a friend. Nothing else." Sky said denying the truth. "Now you're lying to me." Bridge said with even more assurity. Sky thought of the first thing that came to his mind. "No. I'm not allowed to like her like that. She is one of my fellow teammates and rangers. The SPD Handbook states that 'No cadet shall uphold a physical relationship with a fellow cadet'. She is one of my best friends and deserves to be treated with dignity and the utmost respect." Bridge laughed. "Dude, that's not even in the handbook. You're just lying to me to cover up your feelings for Syd." Sky quipped hastily, "That's not true." "Yes. It is. I know that you like Syd on more than a friendship type level. You love her. I know it. I can tell such things. Well, being psychic helped because I can read your aura." Sky just gave up arguing. "Ok. I like Syd. I like her alot. But don't tell anyone. Anyone, you hear me. I mean it. You tell one single person and I will kill you myself." Brige put both hands up signaling innocence. "Okay, okay. I won't tell anyone. I promise." "You better not", demanded Sky. Bridge laughed. "What's so funny?", Sky demanded yet again. "You and Syd. Come to think of it, you guys are perfect for each other. I mean, on one hand,you are strict and protecting ,and, on the other,she's caring and upbeat. She could really do you some good.Well, sometimes you're too harsh and she can get too bubbly, but other than that..." Bridge was cut off by Sky. "Shut up."
As Sky lay there, he stared at the ceiling and thought about Syd. Would she like him back? Are they right for each other? Would Bridge tell anybody his secret? How will she respond when I tell her? and so on and so on. He thought these things as he slowly drifted off for the night.
Another day is going by, I'm thinking about you all the time
But you're not there and I'm here waiting
And I wrote this letter in my head
Cuz so many thing were left unsaid
But now you're gone and I can't think straight.
-This could be the one last chance to make you understand, Yeah-
I'd do anything just to hold you in my arms
To try to make you laugh
But somehow I can't put you in the past.
I'd do anything just to fall asleep with you
Would you remember me
Cuz I know I won't forget you.
I'll add more if anybody likes it. This is my first fic ever.(Yay!) I don't particularly like to write them myself. So, if you like it please review. If you don't oh well. I'm not forcing you to though. -Smallville'sAmusedRebelMel AKA Mel #20
