Sorry it's been a while since I updated… I had writer's block… heh Ok, in this new chapter, I'm gonna try and make this even better than the last three put together… Forgive me if it doesn't… xP


The Rangers lined up in front of the Commander. Cruger was pacing back in forth in front of them. Bridge was taking this as a bad sign. He was getting more nervous by the second at Doggie's silence; he began to sweat, thinking that the Commander was preparing to yell at them, again. Oh boy… what have I got myself into? Bridge was struggling to hide his fear and nearly flinched when the Commander sighed.

The Commander paced in front of his Rangers, deep in thought. An alien or monster that we've never even HEARD of before… Cruger sighed this does not bode well… He looked up at his Rangers. None of them looked to happy, especially Bridge; Bridge looked like he was going to faint. "Carson," the Commander began, "are you feeling well?" Bridge shook his no but Doggie sensed that Bridge was hiding his feelings. "Well, whatever IT was, I'm sure you can capture it next time so until the next emergency, you are all dismissed."

Bridge was confused. Wait. The Commander isn't going to yell at us? Upon realizing this, Bridge sighed inwardly with relief; he relaxed. Cruger noticed this and smiled inwardly; he understood now why Bridge was so uptight, although Doggie wondered why he thought so. The Rangers all filed out of the Command Center and Doggie turned to Kat.

"Yes Commander?"

"Did you notice how nervous Bridge was?"

"Yes… I found it a little strange… Even IF you were going to yell at them, he shouldn't be THAT nervous…"

"Maybe it's something else…?"

"I highly doubt it sir…"


The Rangers were relaxing in the Rec Room where the Rangers spent their free time when they weren't training, dealing with a case, or doing their duties. Syd sat on the couch leisurely, painting her nails; Z sat next to her reading a magazine. Sky was reading and Bridge was, once again, standing upside down. For a few minutes no one spoke; Syd was the one to break the silence.

"So… anyone wanna go out and do something?"

"Syd," Z groaned, "I'm way too tired to go out. Find someone else to go with you…"

"Aww… How about you Sky?"

"Nah, I'm with Z. Too tired…"

"Bridge?"

Bridge grunted in response. Syd pouted and sulked off to her room. Z yawned and put down her magazine. "I'm gonna turn in early." Sky nodded. Bridge grunted. Z smiled when she looked at Bridge. He looks so funny when he does that… She left yawning.

Bridge was deep in thought. Thoughts rushed into his head; he thought about past experiences, wondering what to eat for dinner, new projects (like his hybrid pizza maker/TV for example…), and the earlier debriefing. Man, I hoped I didn't look too nervous… Sky. That was it. I was thinking of Sky... but, is that so bad? Bridge looked over at the man in question. Sky turned a page. I wonder what he looks like in a shower… Bridge shook his head; the rapid movement caused him to fall, HARD. Sky immediately put down his book and rushed over to Bridge. "You ok?" All the Blue Ranger could manage was a nod; he was still dazed.

Bridge, although everything was blurry, could see Sky clearly. He grinned. Sky smiled back; he helped his friend back up. "You ok?" Bridge nodded, not trusting himself to speak. "Alright… Be more careful, 'kay?" Bridge nodded again. Sky gave him another smile and left shaking his head, leaving Bridge with his own personal thoughts.


Bridge was headed for the showers; he thought better in the shower, he found out. He looked around in the locker room, cautiously. Good no one was there. Bridge didn't know why, but he felt VERY uncomfortable around other guys when they were naked. Although I wouldn't mind if Sky were… Bridge snapped out of his daydream. What's wrong with me? He sighed and opened his locker. Bridge looked around; he didn't want anyone to see him naked… Convinced that no one was there, he took off his jacket and shirt. Taking another look around, he took off his pants and boxers; he then rushed into the showers.

Bridge first turned the knob for the cold water. For a few seconds he stood there, letting the cool water barrage his weary body. Then he turned the knob for the hot water. He sighed sensuously, feeling the warm water assuage his body and mind. For a moment, he felt completely relaxed and was about to reach for the soap when he heard a metal door bang shut. His entire body went rigid and cold despite the warm water.

Bridge, despite his fear, turned to see who it was. To his surprise, it was Sky. He gulped; Sky walked into the shower and turned on the hot water. Wow. Doesn't it hurt when he goes to hot right away? They stood there for a few minutes; Bridge was deep in thought. He was snapped out of his thoughts when Sky turned and spoke to him. "What are you doing here? Why didn't you shower with the other guys?" Bridge started to get nervous. What should I say? Finally, after much deliberation, he answered. "I, uh, kinda fell asleep in our room…" Either Sky didn't really care, or he bought it, as he didn't question him. Bridge, feeling even MORE uncomfortable, quickly finished showering, turned off the water and left the showers. Sky watched him leave. What was THAT all about?
