Chapter One: The One for Me

Takes place the first Valentine's Day Jack has left SPD

"We're back, and we've got a ring!" announced Z triumphantly as she and Jack entered the SPD lounge.

"Oooo, let me that beautiful, beautiful diamond!" gushed Syd excitedly. "Jack, I can't believe you're proposing to Ally already!"

"The key word in there being 'already'," cut in Syd's boyfriend, Sky. "You two have only been dating a little over four months. Are you sure you're ready for this type of commitment?"

"Hey, when you know the girl's the one, you gotta go for it," laughed Jack as he pulled out the ring to show to his friends.

"Jack, that was so romantically put," sighed Syd. "Sky, how come you never say those mushy types of things to me?" complained Syd to her boyfriend, who she had started dating only a few weeks ago.

"To prevent myself from puking," said Sky sarcastically as Syd smacked him playfully on his chest. "Syd if you want to date me, you're going to face the fact that I'm not the romantic type," continued the red ranger bluntly.

"And if you want to date me, Sky Tate, you're going to have to face the fact that I deserve to be treated like a princess!" retorted Syd, sticking her tongue out at Sky.

"So Bridgey," began Z as she plopped down on the couch beside the blue ranger. "As our group's only bachelor, do you have any big plans for Valentine's Day yet?"

"Well, see I like this girl," began Bridge, nervous considering it was Z who was sitting beside him as he revealed all this. "And I've like her for a long time, but I don't know if she likes me. And if I don't know if she likes me, should I really ask her out? And if I ask her out, would she even go out with me? And what if she doesn't like me or doesn't like buttery toast or …"

"Here he goes again," groaned Sky and Syd simultaneously.

"Bridge, Bridge stop it!" laughed Z, more patient with the quirky ranger than his other friends. "Whoever the girl is, she'd be very lucky to date a guy as nice and sweet as you are."

"Really?" perked up Bridge excitedly. "You don't know how happy it makes me to hear you say that!" thought the blue ranger to himself. But he was way too nervous to tell that to Z out loud.

"I wish my girlfriend was as easy to please as you are Z," said Sky, poking Syd flirtatiously.

"Is it so wrong I want the perfect, romantic evening with my new boyfriend on our first Valentine's Day together?" asked Syd sweetly, giving Sky an adorable pout that made his heart melt.

"Jack, I don't know which one of us is going to be more stressed out this holiday," joked Sky. "You proposing or me planning the dream Valentine's Day date for our pink princess here!"

"I want roses and candles and chocolates and to be serenaded with songs…" listed off Syd.

"Definitely Sky!" responded Jack, Bridge and Z in unison to the red ranger's earlier question.

"Looks like you have your work cut out for you with Syd," commented Bridge later as he and Sky entered the room they shared.

"What am I going to do, Bridge?" groaned Sky as he flung himself down on his bed and threw a pillow over his face. "Syd wants the perfect Valentine's Day, and while I excel at everything else in life, romance is not my specialty."

"Yeah, you are in trouble," agreed Bridge. "Syd said she wanted to be serenaded, and you don't sing that well."

Sky laughed and threw his pillow playfully at the blue ranger. "At least Bridge, I don't sing the "Rubber Ducky" song from Sesame Street in the shower!" teased the red ranger.

But Bride wasn't paying attention, suddenly noticing a small package lying neatly on his pillow. It was wrapped in blue tissue paper and tied with a green ribbon, but that wasn't what had caught Bridge's eye. Gapping open-mouthed, Bridge stared incredulously at the card attached to package addressed "From your Secret Admirer."

"I have a secret admirer?" squeaked Bridge in total shock.

"Open it!" urged Sky, pointing to the package.

Ripping off the wrapping paper, Bridge tore open the package to find a box of extra buttery popcorn. "Wow," breathed Bridge, his eyes growing dreamy. "This girl's amazing. She's definitely the one for me! Sky, who do you think it's from?"

"You're the psychic one," replied Sky, looking at Bridge like he was crazy. "Why are you asking me? Just take off your gloves so we can find out who gave you the gift."

Removing off his gloves hurriedly, Bridge put his hands over the package as he tried to sense the aura of the person who delivered it. Yet strangely, Bridge's psychic senses couldn't pick up any trace of human energy.

"I can't detect a thing," sighed Bridge in frustration. "Whoever left me the package must have been wearing gloves to disguise their aura."

"Then they must know you very well if they know how your psychic powers work," reasoned Sky. "What does the card say? Maybe it gives a hint of who the gift is from."

"I hope your Valentine's Day will be extra buttery," read Bridge aloud from the card. "Maybe we can watch a movie together some time and enjoy this popcorn together, too. Love, your secret admirer."

"Interesting," responded Sky. "But it didn't give any clue as to who the identity of the gift giver was."

"Do you think there's any chance my secret admirer is Z?" questioned Bridge hopefully.

"Doubtfully," replied Sky regretfully. "Z and I were in the gym together all morning running D-Squad training exercises. If she had left at all, I would have seen her. I mean, the package wasn't there before you left our room this morning, was it?"

"No," confirmed Bridge disappointedly. "I guess my secret admirer isn't Z then. But," added the blue ranger brightly, "I'm sure going to have a heck of a lot of fun figuring out who it is!"
