Chapter 6: The Girls on Bridge and Sky

"I wish that bouncer over there wouldn't stare at me like that," grumbled Z as she and Syd entered the nightclub, Trance.

"Well, what'd you expect?" grinned Syd, nudging her friend playfully. "You look hot tonight."

"Yeah, but I'm still not some object to be gawked over," said Z, going all feminist as she adjusted her low-cut yellow tank top and pulled up her skin-tight leather pants.

"Speaking of which," said Syd, spinning around in her glittery, hot pink mini-dress. "Bridge was starring at you tonight like you were Kira Ford or something."

"Translation?" begged Z. "I don't speak Teen Vogue pop culture."

"Kira Ford?" repeated Syd, looking at Z like she was dense. "Your predecessor as a yellow ranger…"

"I know that," cut in Z, rolling her eyes.

"And only the hottest singer of our generation," added Syd. "Plus, guys think Kira is a total babe."

"So Bridge was starring at me earlier," said Z, trying to play cool. "What's the big deal?"

"Wow, you really are oblivious tonight," replied Syd, shaking her heawd.

"I am going to pretend you of all people did not just say that," retorted Z, raising an eyebrow.

"HELLO?" shouted Syd. "Bridge so likes you! You can't actually tell me you haven't noticed!"

Z stayed silent for second, before throwing her hands up in the air. "Ok, ok, I kinda figured it out Bridge likes me," admitted Z. "I mean, the way he's always reading unnecessarily over my shoulder and choosing me each time to practice his aura-reading skills on. It was kinda obvious."

"Oh yay!" said Syd excitedly, clapping her hands. "You and Bridgey are going to be girlfriend and boyfriend!"

"Hold up there, sister!" said Z, swinging her arm out in front of Syd. "Who said I wanted to go out with Bridge, let alone be his GIRLFRIEND?"

"But Bridgey would treat you so well," argued Syd. "He'd always dote over you, buy you lots of nice presents and treat you like a princess. And who doesn't want to be treated like a princess?"

"ME!" burst out Z. "I don't want romance and all that corny, courtship stuff. I just want someone I can be chill with."

"Drats," grumbled Syd. "I really wanted you and Bridgey to get together."

"Why?" asked Z, deciding it was her turn to have some fun. "So you could have Sky all to yourself?"

"WHAT?" screeched Syd, clearly flustered. "I, I, you know, I mean I have no idea what you're TALKING about!"

"Uhhhhhh," drawled Z knowingly.

"I just wanted you and Bridge together 'cause it would be great to see my fellow female teammate and the guy who's been my brother all these years in a couple together."

"So you don't like Sky?" pressed Z.

"Sky is really hot," thought Syd to herself. "He's definitely got that tall, dark and handsome thing going on. But I can't tell Z that. She'd laugh at me."

"What about you?" asked Syd, deciding to turn the question around on Z. "You don't like Bridge. Does that mean you like Sky?"

"Sky is really hot," thought Z to herself. "And I love a guy who's a challenge. But I can't tell Syd that. She'd laugh at me."

"You never answered my question," reminded Z, trying to avoid giving her own answer.

"Of course I don't like Sky," spit out Syd a little too quickly.

"Same goes for me!" exclaimed Z in an extremely over-the-top tone.

"Come on," said Syd, linking arms with Z. "Let's forget these SPD boys and go find some real men to be interested in."

"Exactly," agreed Z. "We'd never be interested in an SPD boy."

"Well," thought Syd to herself. "Except one."

"Well," thought Z to herself. "Except one."

Each girl catching the other glancing at her uneasily, Z and Syd shook off the uncomfortably moment and walked into the Trance nightclub laughing heartily from all their girl talk.
