I can guess what you're thinking! "I thought this was supposed to be a one shot!" And that is true! But if you have read the old version and compare it to thenewupdated version you will notice that I cut a big chunk ( as in any reference to a romancebetween Sky and Syd)out of the beginning of the revised version... and I started to feel bad! What if someone actually liked the beginning romance scene and gets mad or upset cuz I cut it! I personally would be pissed if that happened to a story I really liked! But I was so much happier with the newer version that I just couldn't put the scene back! Maybe people hate this scene and are happy I cut it! Maybe they're not! For those who weren't, I couldn't bring myself to completely cut the scene (just cuz it took me soo bloody long to write it!) So here is the cut beginning for your enjoyment!

Note: This is from back when it was a songfic insteand of a now "song inspired fic"

The Deleted Scene!

I never said I'd lie and wait forever

If I died, we'd be together

Music is playing softly in the hall. Scattered across the dance floor are couples, men in uniforms and women in an array of dresses dancing their last dances, swaying to the music with their lovers. It's their last chance to be together before they all leave that night.

Sky, looking fairly dashing and soldier like in his clean uniform, was dancing with his long time friend, and newly discovered girlfriend Sydney. She rested her head on his chest as they swayed silently; neither really listening to the music. They held each other close, lost in their own thoughts.

Sydney closes her eyes listening to the beat of Sky's heart. It was so strong, so steady. It was just like him, proud, purposeful. Of all their friends he was always the rock, the confident one who just knew. He could come off cold at times, but she knew him well enough to know that he had a softer side. It was the side he rarely showed to anyone but her. That made her feel special knowing what he was willing to show of himself to her. She always knew how to get under his shell, to break down his shield that he so often had erected. Now all she wanted to do was hold him, feel his presence, his warmth. For she knew that when she let go of him he would leave and she might not ever get to touch him again. She didn't want to forget that warmth. She didn't want to leave it at all.

I can't always just forget her

But she could try

Sky's dad had died in the army when Sky was young. It was why Sky had so eagerly joined, to be like his father, a hero. But now… he was torn. He had no regrets, he knew what he was doing was right; it was why he had to do it. But he had reasons to want to stay behind. He was dancing with one of them at this very moment. As his chin rested near her head he breathed in her sweet scent, savoring the moment. He knew that where he was going he probably not find something as beautiful as that smell. He didn't want to forget it. He didn't want to let her go and leave her gentle embrace. The world he was heading into had no room for something so soft, so beautiful. He just wanted to stay in this moment, but he had to do what he had signed on to do. He had to be the rock, for something as gentle as this would never survive where he was going.

At the end of the world

Or the last thing I see

You are

Never coming home

Never coming home

Could I? Should I?

And all the things that you never ever told me

And all the smiles that are ever ever...

He closed his eyes as he heard the song end. It was their last song, their last moment, and neither of them let go of each other. Neither of them wanted to let go of the moment. Sky was drawn out of his trance by the sound of people separating and saying their last good byes. He knew he had to let go. He sighed, breathed in her scent one last time, holding it in trying to keep it in his memories, and then finally letting go. They looked into each other eyes and knew. The pain of their goodbyes was completely conveyed through that single connection.

"I love you," Sky said to her in barely more than a whisper, his eyes glistening.

"I love you," she replied just as softly. An unhindered tear rolled down her cheek as they embrace one last time, passionately thrusting all of their hopes for what is to come into one kiss, while silently praying that it is not a false hope they cling to. And with that they let go. Sky turned away, as his best friend Bridge waved him over to join the gathering group of soldiers. He looked back once more, saying a silent goodbye with his eyes. And with that Sky turned and joins his friends while Syd watched as the man she loved walked of out of her life, probably forever.

Ever...

Get the feeling that you're never

All alone and I remember now

At the top of my lungs in my arms she dies

She dies

So was I wasting my time to post this? I don't know! I am definately glad I cut it! I got to write ina new part about how Sky became all cold and serious because of the death of his dad (which was fun to do) and this way it's not just Z who is missing! (Girls just didn't go to war in the forties unless they were nurses or ambulance drivers! It sucks but it's just the way things were. They just didn't make the cut:') I wish I could have written in their powers but the story was mainly just about the relationships. shrugs ANYways! If you think it was a waste of my time to post this! Than do tell! Either way, at least you get a chance to judge for yourself!

Thanks!
