Sorry, sorry, sorry (have I said it enough times?) I really meant to keep up on this it's just that life keeps getting in the way… You know how it is right? So here for you is a short (sorry) chap to hopefully tide you over until I can get down to writing a bit more. Thanks to everyone who reviewed you make me feel LOVED!

The Green Ranger shuffled down the long hallway distracted by the mostly mechanical object in his hands. Judging by the occasional beeps and even more frequent grinding noises he had miscalculated somewhere… that was certain. Where he had miscalculated … now that was up for debate. So intent on his gadget (maybe gizmo) was the Green Ranger that he never saw the wall that he walked into. Okay so no one but him could have seen it anyway but nevertheless there it was blocking his path to Kats lab, the only place where he might be able to pilfer the parts he needed to fix his …miscalculations.

The wall of emotion was so strong Bridge stumbled backwards just barely holding onto his project while staying upright. Quickly glancing around he wondered how many people had been involved in the residue of the fight that had so effectively halted his progress down the hall. Finding no one he braced himself against the wall and was about to continue on his way when he saw the source of all the ruckus.

There was the Yellow Ranger standing in the middle of the hallway. Okay standing was a bit of an understatement. It was more like she was glued in the path of an oncoming zord with nothing to do but stare slack jawed at her fate. Cautiously Bridge approached his teammate, quietly whispering her name.

"Z?" there was no response

"Zeeee.." it was like she didn't hear him

"Zeeeeeeeee" he spoke a little louder wondering if she was catatonic and if so how was he going to carry her to the infirmary while simultaneously holding on to his gizmo (maybe gadget)

"Maybe I should call Sky …" the Green Ranger briefly wondered out loud before a shrill voice made him jump back for the second time in the last 5 minutes.

"HOW DARE HE!" the Yellow Ranger turned her furious gaze onto the unsuspecting Green Ranger on the floor. Bridge looked around frightened and alone.

"How dare who?" he asked meekly.

"HOW DARE HE!" she shrieked slightly louder than the first time.

"How dare who Z?" Bridge grunted while getting himself off the floor.

"He just cant..."

"You just don't go around blurting that kind of thing out!"

"Who does he think he IS!?"

"It's not FAIR!"

"What am I supposed to say?!"

"I just...how could he...what was he thinking?! "

"HOW DARE HE!" she screamed frustatedly not letting the Green Ranger get a word in edgewise.

And with that she did an about face and tried to outrun the tears to her room.

Once there she continued her tirade yelling at no one but her roommates stuffed elephant Peanuts.

"I just don't understand. All this time and he just NOW decides to tell me? What was he thinking? I mean … and now what am I supposed to do?" Z stopped and stared at the impassive gray face as though waiting for an answer. When none came she fought the urge to kick the offending animal by turning and throwing herself back first onto her bed instead.

Z was confused. This was not how things were supposed to go. There was an order to these kinds of things. A way of it. Rules … there were rules and he had just broken them. HE of all people had broken the rules! And worse than that he had run away. What was she supposed to think? What was she supposed to do? A few silent tears ran down the Yellow Rangers cheek. She had never been in love before but she had a suspicious feeling this is not how it was supposed to go.

Sky entered the gym without really realizing it. He had had no destination until now just a desire to get as far away from the humiliation as possible. What had he been thinking?! Since when could he not keep control of his own thoughts? HIS own mouth for pete's sake! And now she knew. She knew and all she could do was stare at him, although in all fairness it's not like he had given her much of a chance to react. He had been so mortified over the words that had tumbled out of his mouth without permission that he did the first thing he could think of (god save him if Jack ever found out) he ran.

Absently the Blue Ranger made his way to his locker and began to change into his workout clothes.

What if she doesn't feel the same way? Did you consider that these feelings might not be mutual?

"Of course I did! That's what makes this so hard" He answered himself out loud. A few other cadets turned to look at the Ranger but quickly thought better of it when his glare turned their way.

You keep talking to yourself and people are going to think your crazy.

"But in a way I am." he mumbled to himself before shutting his locker with force and stalking out to the gym to work off some of the growing tension.

Again sorry it is so short but hey…it's something right? (you know you love me!)
