Chapter 9

It's All Worked Out

2025

It was the next day and Z and Syd were sitting in the common room, talking about the battle against Dino-Lothor. Jack left shortly after they returned to their own time, hoping to get back to his lifework of helping the homeless.

A shout from the door made Z and Syd turn toward around to look, and soon Bridge walked in laughing. "Sky, it doesn't look that bad. As a matter of fact, you look hot."

Sky walked in with a shocked look on his face, silently thankful there were no mirrors in sight that'd allow him a view of his new blond hair. "Bridge, how could you do this to me?" he whined with slight terror in his voice.

Bridge gave an innocent smile. "I couldn't help myself. You were tied to the bed and I had already bought the hair dye, so--" Bridge was cut off by Sky waving an accusatory finger in his face.

"Make a note of this: You're never going to be tied again if this," he points at his hair, "is not corrected, got it?" Bridge nodded solemnly, trying to hold in his laughter.

Z and Syd got up and walked over to the two fighting lovebirds. "It looks good on you," Syd complimented, running a hand through his hair.

"Sky, you look so hot," said Z, also running a hand through his hair. Sky's face immediately turned bright red.

Just then, Cruger and Kat walked into the room. When Cruger cleared his throat, the Rangers stopped playing with Sky's hair and stood to attention. Cruger stepped forward immediately took notice of Sky's hair. "It's his fault, sir," Sky said without thinking.

Cruger looked at Bridge, who just shrugged his shoulders. He ignored Sky's last comment and went on with what he was about to say. "You cadets did a good job fighting Dino-Lothor. I'm proud of you." The Rangers smiled at Cruger's praise.

Sky stepped forward. "Sir, did we change the timeline by us being there fighting Dino-Lothor, or even Bridge fixing the morphers?"

"Oddly enough, no," said Kat. "It seems you guys were fated to go there, fight Dino-Lothor, and fix the Wind morphers."

The Rangers looked at each other. "What do you mean, Kat?" Bridge asked.

For an answer, Kat held up a book and said, "According to history, the Ninja Rangers were given their powers back by a future Green Ranger, and they use their powers in a major battle against a space pirate named Ryu Senshi. In this battle, the Zeo, Tubro, Space, Galaxy, and many other Power Rangers generations help to defeat Ryu Senshi and restore peace to the planet."

"Oh."

"So we helped keep the timeline in order?" Syd wondered.

Kat nodded. "Well, Rangers, you did do a good job, so enjoy the rest of the day off. Dismissed." The Rangers gave a salute, and Cruger and Kat walked out of the room.

"Sky, are you mad at me?" Bridge asked, a puppy dog look on his face.

Sky laughed almost cruelly and said, "Yes!" Then he turned his back on Bridge. Bridge's looked absolutely crestfallen.

Z stepped forward. "Sky, you can't stay mad at Bridge forever."

Sky turned to her. "Yes, I can.'' At this, Bridge's head went down lower.

Z sighed and said, "You know you can't live without him."

Sky thought it over for a moment. "No... I can't." Suddenly, Bridge's head went up a little.

"So why don't you guys kiss and make up?" Z asked, turning Sky toward Bridge.

"Why?"

Z smiled and said, "When you get into a fight with someone you love, the best part is the making up part." Z thought for a moment. "Plus, it's been a while since I've watched you two hot guys kiss." She again shoved Sky in front of Bridge.

Bridge's head rose to look at his incensed boyfriend. Sky took a deep breath and said, "Bridge, I forgive you for the hair thing.'' Not needing words, Bridge smiled and grabbed Sky's head to kiss him on the lips.

Z clapped her hands and happily watched them make out. "I love to watch those two kiss. How about you, Syd?''

Syd, who had walked to the window, was now looking out of it. Z walked away from the show and stood next to her friend. "Are you thinking about Eric?" she asked softly.

Without looking at Z, Syd answered a simple, "Yes, I am."

Z placed a hand on her back. "Don't worry, Syd. I'm sure you will meet him again one day."

Syd looked at her with saddened eyes and said, "I hope you're right, Z." Then she turned back to the window and continued looking out at the city.

2004

Eric was quietly sitting in the park, looking up at the darkening sky. Though still hoping against hope, he continued thinking about Syd, knowing somehow that she was doing the same for him.
