A/N: This is Syd's POV of what happened during Chapter I. This is how this story is going to work. I introduce one chapter, and then I tell that chapter in both Syd's and Sky's POV. If you don't like this writing format, then I guess just wait until the next chapter to start reading again.
Chapter I
Syd's POV
We just came back from defeating one of Gruumm's minions. For an evil emperor whose conquered many galaxies, he's sure having a hard time conquering Earth isn't he? Jack just distributed the tasks regarding the paperwork that we have to do afterwards. Jack volunteered Sky to fill out the paperwork. Jack was to file the report. The rest of us had to do nothing. That's fine with me. Fighting monsters I can do. Training I can do. Paperwork, I rather not. Bridge, Z, and I headed to the common room for some rest and relaxation. Bridge went over and propped himself against a wall in a handstand position to do some thinking. I'm not sure what he's thinking about, but it's one of those Bridge things that you just don't want to ask about. Z and I plopped down on the couch.
"You have a thing for Sky don't you Syd?" Z asked.
Wow! Talk about a random question! I wonder what gave Z that impression. Oh, wait a second. I did kiss Sky twice yesterday at the beach. Maybe that's what she was referring to.
"Come again?" I replied trying to play it off.
Z pulled a Sky and rolled her eyes at me. Wait a second. Did I just say she 'pulled a Sky'? Since when does someone rolling their eyes equate to them having 'pulled a Sky'? Why am I even thinking about Sky right now?
"I saw you checking out Sky's butt while we were battling that monster today! If I didn't know any better, I'd say you purposely stayed behind Sky just so you could enjoy the view!" Z exclaimed.
I felt my cheeks begin to heat up. I was really embarrassed that Z noticed that. I thought she was supposed to be focused on bringing in the monster not observing whether I was or wasn't checking out Sky's nice, tight, yummy, scrumptious behind. Oh dear. Get a hold of yourself Syd!
"I have no idea what you are talking about Z! You know how Sky is! Sky is always rushing into battle. So, of course, I'd be behind him!" I countered.
Z started snickering. I have no idea why though. I didn't say anything that was that funny now did I?
"I know you were behind Sky Syd. Speaking of behind, you like Sky's behind don't you?" Z asked.
I don't know what Z's problem was, but she was really starting to make me uncomfortable. It's not my fault that Sky looks smoking in spandex! It's not my fault if spandex accentuates certain features of Sky's gorgeous body! I went to find my Prince Charming…or…uh…Sky because it certainly beats getting teased by Z.

I knew that Sky was still probably filling out paperwork, but the question was where? I kind of felt bad that Sky had to fill out all that paperwork by himself. It would have been fairer if Jack had Bridge and Z help him out or something. Well, let's see. Sky wasn't in the common room, so maybe he's in his bedroom. I made my way to Sky's bedroom, and just as I was about to arrive, I saw Jack come out from Sky's bedroom.
"Hey Jack, is Sky in his room?" I asked.
Jack gave me this weird look like 'Why are you looking for Sky?' Why does everyone seem to think that there is something going on between Sky and me? There is nothing going on between Sky and me! Would I like there to be something going on between Sky and me? Yes, but that doesn't change the fact that there's nothing currently going on between Sky and me!
"Yeah, but he's filling out paperwork still. With that being said, you might not want to disturb him. You know how crabby Sky can get when you interrupt him while he's working," Jack answered.
Hold the phone. Did Jack just say Sky gets crabby when I interrupt him? Or was his 'you' a general 'you' that meant someone? I'm sure Sky gets crabby when anyone interrupts him while he's working, not just me. Sky is your typical workaholic. Wait a second. Or maybe Sky is just trying to avoid me. Well, if that's the case, two can play at that game Sky! I decided to head to my room and avoid Sky.
XXXXXXXXXX
When I got to my room, I lay down in bed and tried to take a nap. That was easier said than done though as I just lay there wide awake thinking about Sky. Why was I thinking about Sky so much? I've known Sky for a good two years now and he's never been on my mind like he is now. Why then all of a sudden am I finding myself attracted to him?
"Why can't I get Sky out of my mind Peanuts? Could it be because I saw him in nothing but boxers for the first time in my life yesterday? Perhaps it's because I saw how gorgeous Sky looks when he's all wet for the first time in my life yesterday? Maybe it's because we work together and we live under the same roof together?" I asked my stuffed elephant, Peanuts.
If you were to ask me a couple of years ago if I had any romantic feelings toward Sky, I'd say you had to be out of your mind. If you were to ask me before we became power rangers the same question, I'd say you were delusional. Wait. That had to be it. Ever since we have become power rangers, Sky has changed. Granted he didn't change all at once, but gradually he did change. He loosened up more. He started to come out of his shell. He became less of a lone wolf. He actually did things with the rest of the team. He actually hung out with the rest of the team. Come to think of it, I actually got to know more about Sky ever since he was assigned the role of blue ranger.
"Who am I kidding though Peanuts? Like Sky would want to date me, the S.P.D. princess! He and I are practically polar opposites! Besides, he's too wanted! I mean what chance do I stand of dating Sky when practically every female cadet in this Academy also wants to date Sky?" I asked Peanuts who was sitting on my chest.

I must have fallen asleep because when I woke up it was nearly three hours later. I grabbed a change of clothes and headed to the common bathroom to take a shower because I had a severe case of bed head. I stopped by the linen closet on the way and grabbed a bath towel, and then I proceeded to the bathroom.
There was nobody else in the bathroom when I got there. I got undressed, put my change of clothes on the sink, and my towel on the rack on the shower door. I stepped into the shower, closed the door and turned on the water. I started to sing in the shower because that is a habit of mine. The song I sang was from my self-titled, double platinum cd.
Me, me, me, me now/ Let's talk about/ Me, me, me, me yeah./ So tired of talking, talking me./ Let's talk about you./ Tell me what do you think of/ Me, me, me, me, me, me, me, me now/ Let's talk about…
I sang this song over and over while I took my shower. Out of all the songs on my cd, this was my favorite. I wonder what Sky thinks of me. I wonder if he is attracted to me like I'm attracted to him. Wait a second. Am I still thinking about Sky? I turned off the shower and opened the shower door to see Sky standing there.
"Ahh!" I screamed while covering up my breasts with my arms as best I could.
"Oh God! I'm sorry Syd!" Sky said as he turned away from me.
I snatched the bath towel from Sky's hands and wrapped it around my body making sure to cover my cleavage. A little late to be sorry now Sky considering that you already saw me naked!
"I didn't even know anyone else was in here! Why did you snatch my bath towel by the way? Aren't there any bath towels in here? Wait a second. Did you do that on purpose?" I asked poking Sky in between the shoulder blades with every word of my last question.
Sky slowly turned around to face me. I just glowered at him for his pathetic attempt to be polite and respectful when he just saw me come out of the shower naked! Wow! Sky looks so cute when he is guilty. Is he blushing?
"Um…no there aren't any hand towels in here, which is why I grabbed your bath towel. I was going to return it and then you uh opened the shower door and uh yeah," Sky said.
Awww! Was Sky stuttering? Sky sounds so adorable when he stutters! Just then, something caught my attention. I noticed a bulge in Sky's pants. My eyes widened and I let out a soft gasp before storming out of the bathroom. My feet were still wet though, and that caused me to slip on the floor. I thought I was going to land on my back when I felt a strong pair of arms catch me before any harm was done.
"Are you ok?" Sky asked instantaneously.
I didn't respond to his question. I just gazed into his eyes as he gazed into mine. A silence filled the bathroom as we both remained in that position. Sky then helped me to my feet and let go of me. He laughed nervously.
"I uh…have to turn in that paperwork to Cruger, so um…I'm going to go now," Sky said before leaving the bathroom.
I just stood there and watched him leave the bathroom grateful that Sky was there to catch me. Then I remembered the bulge in Sky's pants and decided Sky would get his just desserts for a) having a bulge in his pants and b) for seeing me naked in the bathroom.
XXXXXXXXXX
It wasn't long before I figured Sky would go in to take a shower. I mean I don't think he'd want to walk around the Academy with a bulge in his pants. I hid in the supply closet where the mops, brooms, and things of that sort are, which conveniently was located close to the bathroom. Sure enough, I eventually heard someone enter the bathroom and odds were that it was Sky. At least I hoped it was. I didn't want to barge in on somebody and have it not be Sky. I crept out of the supply closet and quietly shut the door before sneaking into the bathroom. It was definitely Sky in the shower. I heard shower water running and I saw Sky's clothes on the floor and on the sink. Yep, only Sky would fold his dirty laundry.
"How could I be such an idiot? Syd probably hates me now!" I heard Sky say.
Aww. Sky, I could never hate you. I didn't care for you seeing me come out of the shower naked, but I don't hate you. You're not an idiot Sky. At least you're not an idiot all of the time. When you are though, you're my idiot. Wait a second. I'm supposed to be mad at Sky. I opened the shower door.
"There now we're ev…wow!" I exclaimed licking my lips at the sight before me.
Seeing Sky naked is a dream come true. I'm sure every girl at the Academy dreams of seeing Sky naked. And I thought Sky looked hot wet yesterday. He looks even better a second time! Sky has such an amazing body. It looks like it was sculpted out of granite. No! Sky, why are you turning away from me?
"Syd! What are you doing? I didn't open the shower door while you were taking a shower!" Sky yelled.
Maybe, but I'm glad that I opened the shower door while you were taking a shower Sky. I reached my hand out to touch Sky, when I felt how cold the shower water was. I yelped as soon as it touched my hand.
"Sky! Are you taking a cold shower? I don't believe it!" I hollered.
I am the only one who is allowed to have impure thoughts of you Mr. I saw Sky's clothes on the sink, and I got a great idea. I scooped up his clothes in my arms and made sure to also grab his bath towel and left the bathroom. That should teach him a thing or two.
"Syd! This isn't funny! Get back here with my clothes!" I heard Sky shout.
Why should I do that Sky? I like this idea so much better.
XXXXXXXXXX
I made my way back to my room with Sky's clothes and bath towel in tow. I found Z lying on her bed with her headphones on. When she saw me come in, she took off her headphones and sat up on her bed.
"What are you doing with Sky's clothes or do I even want to know?" Z asked.
Oh yeah, real funny Z! Not! How was I going to explain this to Z? Was it even necessary for me to explain myself to Z? I decided to tell her anyways. It was better than having her ask me questions about it until I gave in and told her.
"Sky saw me come out of the shower naked, so I decided to get him back by stealing his clothes while he was taking a shower. The best part was that I actually saw Sky taking a shower. Oh, that totally made my day!" I explained.
Z's jaw dropped open after I had finished giving my explanation. Then she started cracking up.
"Wow Syd! Where do I even start? I can't believe Sky saw you naked! I can only imagine his reaction to that! Stealing his clothes? Isn't that a little evil of you Syd? You may call it payback, but I call it flirting," Z remarked.
It wasn't flirting, it was payback. How could Z see that as flirting? Why is Z so convinced that Sky and I are more than just friends? I just glared at Z.
"Wait until Jack and Bridge hear about this!" Z exclaimed as she got out of bed and left the room to find the red and green rangers.
I sat down on my bed and hugged Peanuts. I let out a dreamy sigh.
"Peanuts, did I ever tell you that I love my job? I mean I get to be around a hot guy like Sky every day of the week. Granted, I usually only see him in uniform, but still he looks hot even in his uniform. Did you ever notice how you can see Sky's muscular chest muscles even with his uniform on? Our uniforms are nice and snug, but I like snug especially on Sky's uniform," I said.
Just then, I saw Sky barge into my room. What the heck? That's in direct violation of rule 4708-B. 'Cadets will not enter another cadet's living quarters without invitation.'
"You have some nerve pulling a prank like that on me Sydney! Once Cruger finds out about this…" Sky said before I cut him off by planting a kiss on Sky's lips.
Once that happened, I forgot that Sky was breaking an S.P.D. rule at all. I was too into the kiss. I loved kissing Sky. I loved being with Sky. It just felt right to me. I wrapped my arms around his neck and started to kiss him more passionately. Then, I decided I'd stop as that was a good enough surprise for now. I pulled my head back.
"You were saying?" I asked mischievously.
