Disclaimer: I don't own the Power Rangers or anything else you may recognize.
Author's Note: This is my first Syd/Sky story or, rather, collection of drabbles. I would really appreciate feedback. Try to be nice, though:) And I just want to let you guys (readers and reviewers) know that I really appreciate all the comments you've given me so far.
Written in response to the Ars Amatoria Romance Themes Challenge.
Set during "Resurrection". This short little thing is the flip side of "Competition" (a previous chapter). It's Syd's turn to feel a tiny bout of insecurity.

"What's wrong, Syd?"
"What? Bridge! What could possibly be wrong?"
"Well, that's why I'm asking you. Come on, Syd, you know there's no use lying to me. We've been friends a long time. Let me in. What's the matter?"
"…"
"Look, it's not as if anyone's going to interrupt us. Jack is who-knows-where, and Cruger sent Sky and Z to look for him, so it's just you and—oh. I see what it is."
"What? Stop looking at me like that!"
"Your face flickered."
"It did NOT!"
"Yes, it did. Your face flickered when I said 'Sky and Z'. Aw, Syd! You're jealous."
"NO! Bridge, I am so not even—"
"And I thought green was my colour. But it looks pretty good on you too."
"Bridge…"
"Hey, Syd, it's okay. You don't really think Sky and Z would—?"
"Well, she has been acting awfully flirty around him, and he doesn't exactly tell her to push off, so maybe they could…"
"Syd, I know for a fact that Sky doesn't think Z is his type. Besides, he told me he likes blondes."
"Really?"
"Would I lie to you?"
"I hope not, Bridgey, because you know I have lethal fists…"
"Cross my heart and hope to… okay, maybe not die, but go into a coma maybe."
"I feel so silly."
"Don't worry about it, Syd. There's a green-eyed monster in all of us."
