Disclaimer: I own nothing to do with Power Rangers. I wish I did because there would have been a lot more of SPD!
Sorry about the long time before an update. This is just a short chapter to set me up for the rest of the story.
Thank you to all my reviewers so far. I hope you carry on reading.

Chapter 3 Did I Just Hear You Right?
"Who is it?" Jack called out, hoping it wasn't one of his team mates after all he'd just heard, he wasn't sure if he would be able to keep a straight face or not. "Cruger," came the answer in the Commander's voice. Jack opened the door and stood to attention, saluting as Cruger entered his room.
"Relax Jack," he was told as the Commander closed the door, "this is not an official visit."
Jack looked intrigued as Anubis sat down, following his lead, he made himself comfortable and waited for Cruger to state the reason for this visit. He didn't have to wait very long.
"Well, that was an interesting conversation Cadets Drew and Delgado had, don't you think?" Cruger said with a hint of a smile.
Jack just stared for a few seconds at his Commander before answering, "You heard them Sir?" he asked in disbelief.
"I did Jack, and I saw you listening outside their door," Cruger laughed at the surprised expression on Jack's face. "The question is Jack, what are we going to do about it?"
"We Sir?" Jack queried, amazed that Cruger was laughing about this. He would have thought that he would have been furious that two of his rangers wanted to 'fraternize' with the two other rangers.
"Yes Jack," Cruger spoke patiently, "We," he carried on. "Grumm has been defeated, I have Isinia back with me after believing she was dead all this time, Kat and Boom seem to be getting closer and now you have Ally."
Jack nodded and smiled when he thought of Ally. She had been his girlfriend for two months now and he couldn't be happier.
Cruger was still talking, "So after listening to Syd and Z, I think maybe a little helping hand wouldn't go amiss, if you know what I mean," he finished and looked at Jack expectantly.
"Let me get this straight DC," Jack spoke slowly to start with, still trying to get his mind around what the Commander wanted to do, "to put it simply," he paused before continuing, "after hearing Syd and Z talk about Sky and Bridge, you want to do some matchmaking between them. Does that about cover it?"
"Yes, things have been quiet around here lately, too quiet since Grumm's defeat, it would be…" it was Crugers turn to pause, he was trying to find the right word, "Interesting to say the least, and would certainly liven things up around her," he said with a smile. "Are you with me on this Jack?"
"Absolutely," Jack responded with a devious smile. "Where shall we start?"
The two conspirators spent the next hour trying to find the perfect plan, discarding some ideas as too obvious. When finished both sat with a satisfied smile on their face. Things were certainly going to change thought Jack devilishly.
