Chapter 5: A blue reluctance

Ps. I'm so glad to be back! Well, first things first, I like y'all noe that u rocked my world and from your reviews,Iam glad that you love this story. On top of that, though I am starting loads of new ficts, I'm not giving up on the rest, so yea. And yeah, I would be thrilled if you drop a review on this too. Love all.

"Quit looking at me like that," Sky said annoyingly.

Sydney was looking at him and Sky was feeling more and more uneasy. No, he was absolutely not use to having people pay attention to him, personally. Not unless when they are on the squad, in the field or when he was in command. He shifted uncomfortably in his seat while the other guys looked at him expectantly, as if he was a display of some kind.

Nothing was exchanged for a quite five minutes and the air seemed tense. Neither was willing to say anything, though everyone was looking at Sky from the corner of his or her eyes.

Finally, Sydney cleared her throat and spoke. Everyone looked toward her gratefully.

"Sky, mine's Libra."

Sky folded his arms and looked perturbed.

"I didn't ask," he said a little too loud. The rest of the team looked bewildered at the two of them.

"I know, but I figured you might want to know the whole teams' before revealing yours."

"Virgo," came a quiet response.

The others bent forward. "I thought I heard something," Bridge said.

Apparently none of them caught it, except for Sydney. She couldn't help but smile at his reluctance. The look on his face nearly gave him away, he was curious, yet he didn't want to admit. She read carefully, not giving his horoscope out.

"Here goes, Sky. You live life almost entirely on a practical, material level, and you have little use for the abstractions of storybook romance. Your idea of love is synonymous with duty. Sugary romance is not quite your style.

Self-discipline is part of your nature. Once you make up your mind, you move on regardless of what will result. You place great emphasis on intellect.

You are uncomfortable with physical expressions of love. You need to become more generous with those hugs and kisses. There's also a tendency to be too critical, to expect too much too soon and to be too strict," Sydney paused and flipped to the next page.

"And here's the relationship," Sydney continued but was interrupted by Jack.

"But we aren't aware of his horoscope yet, you know."

"Shhhh," whispered Z.

"Your devotion signals that you will work very hard to take any relationship far. You strive for the perfect relationship. You feel truly rewarded when the one you love is willing to give you time in the relationship. You are independent, and may seem cold on the outside, but your potent charms will merit a truly deserving partner, and they are a perfectionist," Sydney added.

"Most importantly, perfectionism carries over into every aspect of their life, including relationships. They like to think he is perfect, and would rectify his own mistakes. Point out an error, and watch them sulk."

Bridge cut in again, "Syd, that's just so unfair." They turned to him in question.

"You read Sky's the most, while ours are so little."

Sky came to Sydney's defense. "She read it exactly from the book."

"Cut it out, here's some suggestions. Your lucky gem's sapphire and your color seem to be red though." How weird.

"As befits your cautious and reflective nature, you like to size up a situation first. You are also a chronic worrier. The fun for you isn't in spending money; it's in cultivating fewer tangible assets such as knowledge and friendship. Now that's golden! And," Sydney twinkled her eyes before saying, "You are blessed with an eye for detail that many would love to possess."

Sky kept quiet, not knowing what to say after hearing about his. It all appear to be totally alike his character.

Z spoke, "it's so unlike me, but I have to say that although we aren't aware of Sky's signs, what Syd says totally befits his personality."

Sydney nodded. "Guys, I think Ijust heard the bell, we have practice to go." She guessed she had to say that to clear Sky's uneasiness at the breakfast table.

"Just for once Syd, you are too damn hardworking for our good," Jack chuckled as they watched Sky picked up his plate and pratically scurried out of the cafeteria. He's just shy, she thought.

Looking fwd to hear from ya soon.
