Ever since she had been a little girl, she had always dreamed of being a princess. She dreamed of flying dragons and wizards. She dreamed of living in a beautiful castle, waiting for her one true love to come and find her.

If one thing could be said about her that was true, it would be that Sydney Drew was a dreamer.

Sometimes she imagined herself to be Sleeping Beauty. To be placed under a deep spell and for her mysterious handsome Prince to kiss her awake. Other times, she would pretend to be Cinderella and wait for Prince Charming to discover her with a glass slipper. Once in awhile, she would be Ariel, the little mermaid that lived in the ocean that would trade in her tail for a pair of legs to be with her Prince. But no matter whom she was, she always dreamed of her very own Prince to come to her rescue.

Fairytales weren't real, Sydney knew that. She would never be able to live in a real castle (she supposed her mansion came pretty close though!) or have glass slippers (it would hurt too much to wear them). She would never fall under a sleeping spell or be kidnapped by a flying dragon. She would never meet a witch that would place a spell on her (Morganna didn't count!).

But she could always have her own Prince Charming. She just had to keep wishing.

"Sydney?"

A voice interrupted her thoughts and Sydney looked up. Sky looked down at her, a curious expression on his face. "What are you thinking about?"

"Oh, nothing in particular," she smiled.

Sky shrugged, deciding to let the issue go. "Okay. Bridge and Z are waiting in the game room to play some light ball. Want to join us?"

"Sure," she replied cheerfully.

Getting up from the couch, she moved to follow Sky as they headed to the game room. As they walked, Sydney observed her companion in silence. Sky was tall, towering over her by a couple of inches. His arms were muscular and toned from years of training and being a ranger. He was confident in his abilities and also very attractive. Sky was noble and also very chivalrous; Sydney had been harboring a crush on the blue ranger for a very long time.

Sky noticed her looking at him and gave her a soft smile. Sydney returned the smile with one of her own, a soft blush gracing her cheeks. They entered the game room, where Bridge and Z stood waiting impatiently. Sydney cast one last glance at Sky before putting on her light ball glove. Okay, so maybe she didn't have to have her own Prince Charming.

She would settle for a blue knight.
