"Sky, give it back!"

"Try and reach it."

"Give it to me!"

"Come on, pinky. Can't you reach for it?"

"Oh, Schuyler Tate, quit being so annoying!"

The blue ranger held the worn notebook high above his head as he regarded Sydney with amusement. The pink ranger was jumping up and down, trying with vain to retrieve her beloved diary.

Sky had long ago decided that he liked seeing the pink ranger this way. Sydney was cute when she was irritated. And besides, he was having a lot of fun bugging the hell out of her. He had seen Sydney sitting on the couch in the common room holding her diary and he just couldn't resist baiting her. And so he had snatched the diary out of her hands. He wasn't going to read it, of course. He just liked seeing her all worked up.

"Sky, just give her back the damn diary," Jack sighed from where he sat on the couch, watching as Bridge and Z played a card game.

The blue ranger ignored Jack's words and took a step backwards, smirking as he did so. Sydney's blue eyes continued to flash with annoyance as she jumped up and down, in hopes of getting back her little pink notebook. Sometimes it didn't pay to be so short.

"Come on Sky," she whined. "Give it back!"

"You're going to have to come up with a way to get it then," he teased, grinning widely.

Sydney pouted, making him weaken just a little. A mischievous smirk appeared on her lips. Seeing the blue ranger let down his guard for a few moments, she quickly lunged for the small notebook.

No such luck.

Sky was too quick and reacted instantly. He took a giant step backwards, the notebook still held high above his head. Sydney growled and tried again. And again. And again. And again. Sky smirked seeing her expression. 'Yep, definitely cute when she's angry.'

He took another step backwards and suddenly found himself backed against a wall, the diary still high above his head. Before he could make a run for it, Sydney had him pinned, her body pressing tight against his.

He froze and shock came over him as the pink ranger grabbed the collar of his shirt, forcing his head to move down slightly. He stood numbly, unable to think as she pressed her lips to his. The notebook fell from Sky's hand to the floor with a plop!

Syd's lips felt so soft and Sky brought his hand down to her waist, his other hand moving to her hip. He closed his eyes and began to kiss back when she suddenly pulled away.

Quick as a flash, she bent down to retrieve the notebook that had fallen to the floor. Sydney flashed him a quick triumphant smile before scurrying off to her room, disappearing behind the sliding doors.

Sky looked on in shock. After a minute of staring at the pink ranger's bedroom doors, he shook his head and licked his lips. Sydney had left imprints of her lip gloss and it tasted faintly of strawberry and vanilla. The blue ranger grinned.

He would have to steal her diary more often.
