Falling Form Grace
Chapter 4 – Deal with Devils
Syd and Sky stopped as Jack, Z, and Bridge walked on.
"You okay?" Sky asked the pink ranger.
"No," she answered quietly. "You?"
"In between right now. Does Jack hate me?" he asked.
"He doesn't hate you, Sky. He just has problems adjusting to us," she said. "Did you tell him yet?"
"No, not yet. Have you told Z?" he asked.
"I wish. She keeps talking about a bunch guys liking me," she said. "We promise each other that we'll tell them tonight, before this over."
"Alright. We have a deal, Pinkie," he said. "C'mon, let's go." They ran to the foot court and got in line with their friends.
"Where did you two go?" Jack asked.
"We had to go to the bathroom," Syd answered off the top of her head.
"Okay," Jack shrugged off.
"What do you guys want? Bridge is getting a plain hotdog and Jack and I are both getting chili cheese dogs," Z said.
"I'll take a cheeseburger," Sky said.
"Me too," Syd said.
"A cheeseburger? Princess, are you sure?" Z asked. "It's all greasy and fatty."
"I am human, Z," Syd said. "I'm sorry, Z, I didn't mean it like that."
"I'm fine," Z assured. They ordered.
Jack and Sky sat at one table, while Z, Syd, and Bridge sat at another.
"Syd, I have to go to the bathroom," Bridge said as Z threw out the food they didn't finish.
"Okay, c'mon," Syd said. "Guys, we're taking Bridge to the bathroom." Z and Syd left to the port-a-potties with Bridge.
"Jack, there's something I need to tell you," Sky said.
"Okay, shoot," Jack said.
"I'm in love with you. There I said it," the blue clad guy said.
"Wow," the leader sighed.
"I understand if you don't want to..." Sky started.
"No. I just always imagined you with Syd," the red ranger said.
"You're kidding right?" Sky laughed. "Syd's gay. She likes Z."
"Uh-oh," Jack said.
"What's up?" Sky asked.
"Z might not respond so well to that," Jack said.
"Shit! Syd!" Sky called, running to look for Syd. Jack followed close behind.
"Grumm!" Morgana said.
"What?" he asked.
"The rangers are gone! New Tech City is defenseless," Morgana said. "We can over throw it!"
"Very good, Morgana! I'll send some foot soldiers to set toil on the city," Grumm said.
"Z?" Syd said.
"Yeah?" Z questioned.
"Do you like girls?" Syd asked.
"Why?" the yellow ranger asked.
"I like you," the smaller girl said.
"What?"
"Scratch that... I love you," she said.
"Syd, I... I gotta go," Z said, running off.
Syd sat on a bench and burst into tears. Bridge came out and sat next to her. HE wrapped an arm around her shoulders and held her close.
"I'm glad you're normal again," she sniffled.
"Yeah. You okay?" he asked in concern.
"I told Z and she took off," Syd cried.
"I heard. Its okay, Syd. She'll talk to you soon," he assured. "Everything will be fine." She nodded.
"Thank, Bridge," she said, hugging him.
"No problem," he said, embracing back.
