Chapter 9: Lost In Your Thoughts?

After the fight the four rangers headed back to SPD headquarters. Z decided to take a walk, so she changed into a pair of jeans, a white t-shirt and her yellow leather jacket. When she got outside it was nearing sunset. It was nice to get a chance to clear her mind. She started walking, no where in particular.

Jack was happy and she in turn was happy for him. They were both doing something that they really wanted to. It was still sad because it meant that they wouldn't be together as much. Jack and Z had been together for so long and through so much. True they would still be there for each other but…it just wasn't the same. It would take a while to get used to.

Syd had become her friend—one that she needed. She never had friends growing up and the first friend she had was Jack. Having a girl as a friend was really nice. Although it didn't mean she liked having a friend who was as girly as Syd. But they worked well together and Syd wasn't as dumb as first impressions would seem.

Bridge. She was attracted to him right away. But than who wouldn't be. Bridge was amazing. At the beginning he was always trying to meld the two teams and help everyone understand each other. He was never very obvious about it, but he was the one who tried to understand everyone the most. Bridge had gained a special place in her heart.

Then there was Sky. He despised her and Jack at the beginning, not like it wasn't mutual—kind of. There was more to Sky than met the eye. In fact Bridge had pointed out to her once that they had more in common than the other thought. Both had horrible childhoods and lost ones they loved. They both had dreams—to which now they had come true. Sky was a bit hard at first, but they had somehow come together. She wasn't exactly sure when but soon they had more talks, they'd go on walks…simple things, friend things, it was nice.

Somewhere along the way she had fallen for him. It wasn't his good looks that had done it. Instead it was fighting along side him, seeing that he did what he believed in. He didn't give up. He was strong and yet he could have a gentler side come through. The way he looked out for everyone—especially Bridge—it seemed like they had a brotherly bond. That was the type of guy she could see being with. Now she just had to find one that wanted her the same way.

Z sat down on a bench in the park. The sun was setting. Another day had come and gone and nothing. Nothing from Sky. Sure there were times when it seemed like he liked her, but was that just him opening up some more, or was it more? But Z wasn't going to let this ruin her life. Why should she sit and obsess over the fact that one guy didn't care about her the way she cared about him. Just as she was about to stand up someone behind her spoke—"Lost in your thoughts?"

Author's Note: Is it the guy who's been preoccupying her thoughts or someone else?
