outside of Syd and Z's room(an hour after Syd fell asleep)
"err…I hate patrolling. Nothing ever happens." Z complained to Bridge, who had walked her back to her room after they had patrolled.
"come on Z, its part of the job. If we all only did things that we liked, then no one would get anywhere in life." Bridge said as he placed a comforting hand on her shoulders.
To hide the blush that was appearing on her cheeks, Z turned to the door and entered the code. Nothing happened.
"what the hell?" Z whispered.
"whats wrong?" bridge asked as he peered over her shoulders to see what was wrong.
"someone locked the door. Syd never locks the door." Z stated, her voice dripping with worry.
"I'm sure she's fine. She probably just needs some time alone. She didn't exactly have a great training day with her team."
"great, so she decides that I get to stand out here forever smelling like sweat and grime because I didn't have time to shower before patrolling because Sky didn't even give us 5 minute breaks!" Z was about to kick the door down(not that that was possible, but Z is a stubborn ass) but Bridge stopped her.
"Come on Z. Syd has a lot on her right now, just give her the time alone that she needs." Before Bridge could continue on to ask Z if he wanted to go to his room(A/N: to clean up! Jeez guys… get your heads out of the gutter!), he saw Allison and Marcus walking towards them.
When they looked up, they saw Bridge and Z looking at them.
"hey! You're pink and green right? B-squad?" Bridge asked.
"yeah." They replied in unison.
They seemed very uncomfortable. Bridge didn't pick up on that. If he did, he didn't really care.
"so how was training with Syd?" Z asked.
"oh, well after the trails she kinda paired us off to work on our weaker areas." Marc said, noticing that Allison was very nervous around their superiors.
"Trails?" Bridge asked.
"yeah, since Al tried to make a deal with Syd, she decided to add trails 4 and 5 after trail 3." Marc replied once again.
"ouch. What did he say?" Z asked.
"well, my dumb ass of a brother decided to tell our newly appointed leader that he would lead the team and make sure that Syd didn't break a nail."
"ooh. That's understandable. You're lucky Z didn't walk over their and kick his ass." Bridge said waving a thumb over to Z.
"Hey! Syd had everything under control. I wasn't about to get involved, Syd looked mad. It kinda sucks when she's mad, just a heads up for you two." Z said to Marcus and Allison.
"hey, if you guys are done training, how about we grab something in the lounge?" Bridge suggested.
Marc looked at Allison. With a nod from Allison, Marc said "sure, why not? Syd told us to train and that's what we did. I guess we could chill for now." And the four headed for the lounge.
Weight room
As Sky stood up, after doing some push-ups, he heard voices coming into the room "Pete, can we just drop it already?" Al said walking into the weight room with Peter.
"why are we even in here? Syd just asked us to hand-to-hand train, not work out." Peter asked.
He was tired from training because Al had gone medieval on him.
"we already did that Pete. And I just wanted to see if the princess was really working out."
He looked around. It was empty, except for Sky, who had his back to them and putting his stuff away.
"see. She isn't even here. She's probably getting her nails done of something." Al said as he headed over to put his stuff down.
Sky stood up and looked at them. Pete's eyes got wide and he kicked Al.
"ouch! What the hell man?" Al turned around and quickly stood when he saw Sky staring at them.
"for you information, Cadet Hunnington, Syd was in here. She was in here for about two hours. Then she left to speak to Commander Cruger." Sky said as he crossed his arms across his chest. Yup, this guy is definitely going to give Syd a hard time.
"thank you for the information." Al said as he picked his stuff up and was about to leave with Peter, when he heard Sky call him back. They both turned around to look at him.
"Yes sir?" Al said.
"don't doubt Cruger's decision about making Syd red ranger. And don't doubt Syd's ability as a leader."
Before Al could say anything, Pete hit him in the stomach and said. "we know sir. Thank you." and he pulled Al out of the weight room before he said something that he would regret later.
When they were out of Sky's ear shot, Al said, "what does he know?"
"umm…a lot considering the fact that he has been on Syd's team for awhile." Peter said.
"yeah, whatever. I'm going to head to my room. See ya later Pete." Al said and walked away.
Peter froze when he heard a voice from behind him.
"I hope he gets an attitude adjustment soon, or he will be the end of your squad." Peter turned around and looked at Sky.
"Syd wouldn't do that right?" Peter asked.
"no, she couldn't nor wouldn't, but the Commander would. He might not terminate the whole squad, but Al better watch his mouth. He has no clue what he's talking about." Sky said.
Peter could tell that Sky was angry about the comments Al was making. Hmm. Interesting. I wonder what's going on with him and Syd. Should I ask?
Before Peter could stop himself, he asked, "so what's up with you and Syd anyways?" S
ky tensed. Did he seriously just ask that? After a moment of silence, Sky cleared his throat, and said, "I do believe that is non of your business."
And before Peter can say anything, Sky walked away. That was a very shady answer. He's totally into her. Peter walked to the lounge with a smile on his face.
A/N: sorry…I wanted to make Z more mad but…I dunno. Sorry for a shorty! I'll update soon! Hope your still diggin this fic! Thanks for all of the great reviews!
