Disclaimer: Here's my few fics for the Ars Amatoria Romance challenge. I've chosen to focus on Bridge and Z as I really like these two as a couple. So, here's my few. Not mine, someone else's. Please, read and review. Angel Mouse, October, 2005.

Ars Amatoria Romance Challenge: Dreams

Couple: Bridge/Z

Set: Just before A-Bridged

"I always wanted to be a part of something bigger; I just didn't realize it would involve yellow spandex and getting shot at." Jack just laughed as they made their way into the ready room. Sky and Syd were talking about something in the corner. Jack headed for his stash of comic books and Z went and sat on the couch. She looked around and frowned slightly.

"Where's Bridge?" Syd looked up and gave her a slight smile.

"He's gone out somewhere, said something about picking something up." Syd shrugged and grinned at her. "He's like that sometimes, you'll get used to it." She went back to talking softly to Sky and Z frowned. Bridge had been distracted the last few days, more so than normal, and Z found that she missed his presence as the two of them had begun to become good friends since she and Jack had joined SPD.

The door to the ready room opened and Bridge walked in, looking extremely pleased with himself. He smiled at her Z and she smiled back. He always made her feel special when he smiled at her or spent time with her.

"Hey everyone, I need you to come with me." He turned and began to walk back out. When no one was following he turned and gestured with a gloved hand at them all. "Come on, you all need to see this." Sky gave a soft sigh and stood up, Syd with him. They both knew that when Bridge was like this there was no stopping him. Sky looked at them all.

"Come on, he wont leave us alone unless we follow him." Jack sighed and put his comic book down and then suddenly Bridge grabbed Z's hand and dragged her off the couch.

"Come on!"

Laughing softly, the four Rangers let them selves be led deeper into the Academy building, Bridge all the time holding Z by the hand and dragging her along. Suddenly, they reached a fairly unused portion of the Academy. Bridge entered a code into the panel and moments later the doors opened and he dragged them inside.

"Come on." They all reluctantly walked in, wondering what Bridge had done now. Bridge stood behind them and then hit the lights.

Moments later the lights came on and the four Rangers gave a soft gasp. Before them, arrayed along glass panels and benches and tables were letters and photos. The four Rangers began walking along, taking in the sights before them. They murmured softly to themselves what they saw, moving along deeper into the room.

Z stopped at one glass panel, reading the letter from a little six year old girl, thanking the Rangers for saving their school some days ago. Suddenly, Z felt a presence behind her and then Bridge's soft voice was in her ear.

"See Z, Dreams do come true. You don't get much bigger than this, do you?" Z smiled and turned her head slightly to smile and meet his eyes.

"No, you don't. Thank you Bridge." He smiled and suddenly she knew that he had done this just for her. She leaned back slightly, resting herself against his strong body as she enjoyed this most rare gift he had given her.
