Author's Note: So, here's chapter 5. To my readers, the average waiting time for a new chapter to be uploaded is approximately three days.

Terrific Tina: I think so too! But let us see if they will get together.

Hot Pink Girl: I know you are an absolutely huge fan of Bridge/Syd. But I can't just base my chapters or stories to what you like alone. Some people may want a change in the pairings. I'm looking at things in a bigger perspective instead of just one concentrated area. I hope you'll understand.

Last time… Syd felt tears welling up in her eyes and were threatening to fall anytime. I can't believe this. She buried her face in her palms and cried her heart out.

OOOoooOOOoooOOOoooOOO

Bridge and Kayla returned from their outing around parts of New Tech City, with Kayla carrying cake boxes. They were headed towards Kayla's room when she began to giggle.

"What's so funny?" asked Bridge. "Is there something on my face?"

Kayla giggled again. "No silly! I never imagined the future is like this!" exclaimed Kayla while twirling on one foot. "Its amazing!"

"Well, I can't really say much because, I'm not from the past. I see all those outside everyday too." Replied Bridge.

Kayla smiled at him in an 'I understand what you mean' manner. When they reached Kayla's room, both of them were silent. Neither of them knew what to do or say. That was until Sky came by to check on Kayla. Bridge saluted him. He then looked at Kayla and waved goodbye and left. Kayla waved back and turned her attention to Sky. She pressed a button and the door slid open. She motioned to Sky to enter.

"So, how was your outing today?" Sky asked while walking into her room.

"How did you know I went out?" Kayla answered with another question.

Sky pointed at the cake boxes. Kayla laughed sheepishly and said, "Oh."

To hide her embarrassment, she held up a cake box towards Sky and said, "This one is yours. Its vanilla flavoured cheese cake."

Sky took the box and opened it. The smell of vanilla wafted up his nose and he smiled. "How did you know I like vanilla? Did Bridge tell you?"

Kayla shook her head. "He didn't. I just guessed." She shrugged her shoulders and walked over to her dressing table and sat down on the chair. She motioned for Sky to sit beside her on a second chair. Sky accepted the invitation.

When he sat down, Kayla asked, "What else would you like to know?"

Sky understood what she meant. "Has any other memories came back to you?"

Kayla slowly nodded her head. "Yes. While walking around the city. Memories of my family. Who I worked for." Kayla paused for a moment and took in a deep breath. "And the reason I go shot."

Sky was amazed that in one day, so many memories could be recovered. "What can you tell me, then?"

"My family is filthy rich. My mother was a model and actress. My dad was a pilot. My sister was a scientist. As for me, I worked for the government."

"You worked for the government? At such a young age?" Sky was clearly shocked at her statement.

Kayla nodded her head. "When I was ten, some government officials came to my house. Said something to my parents. They didn't seem the least bit surprised. I was taken away. Everything after that is still a blur."

"You worked for the government. So, I can assume that, you were an assassin? Working for the government?" Sky said slowly. He was quite afraid that he might offend her.

"I don't know." Kayla answered curtly.

"Continue, please."

"The reason I got shot. I saw a laser on my mum's chest. She was wide open. I ran in front of her and took the shot. I heard people screaming and my mum saying something. Then, everything went black."

Sky was silent for a moment. He didn't know what to say to Kayla. He had his fair share of danger. But never was he on the verge of death.

"Kayla," he began. "I'm sorry." He placed a hand on her shoulder and gave it a gentle squeeze.

"It's alright. That was in the past. Let it stay there." Kayla looked at Sky. She then tilted her head.

"What?" Sky asked.

Suddenly, Kayla wrapped her arms around Sky. She was hugging him. Sky was shocked at first but in the end returned the hug.

"Thanks Sky." Kayla whispered.

"You're welcome."

Kayla pulled away from him and smiled. She then took one of the cake boxes and said, "Well, i'd better give this to Bridge."

Bridge was in his room. He was hand standing when the door slid open. He turned to his left and saw Syd entering his room. He stood back up with his feet on the ground and gave Syd his hearty greeting. "Hey there, Syd!"

Syd didn't answer. Bridge found this very strange. "Hey, are you okay?"

"Bridge, what would you say if someone, a friend, told you that she likes you?" Syd asked in a slow manner. Her voice wavering along the way.

Bridge scratched his head and tapped his foot. "Well, it will depend on who this friend is."

Syd crossed her arms and took in a deep breath. "Bridge. I like you. I like you a lot."

Bridge may be blur, but he sure knows that what Syd just said, was a confession from her heart. "Erm…I don't know…"

He was cut off by Syd. "Bridge. This feeling has been bugging me for a week. And I really mean it. I really like you."

"Syd. I'm sorry. I… I don't like you in that manner."

"Is it Kayla? It's her isn't it?"

Bridge was taken aback. "What? Syd, leave Kayla out of this. She's got nothing to do with me not liking you the way you like me."

"I don't think so. You've been dedicating your time to her! You've always been busy with her! Wherever she is, there you'll be!"

"Syd, please. I don't want to argue with you. This is pointless."

"Bridge I know that you are falling for Kayla. You can't hide that."

Suddenly, a thud was heard from outside Bridge's room. Bridge went over to the door and pressed the button. It slid open and revealed Kayla. Her eyes were as wide as saucers. Her body was rigid. A cake box lay on the floor, slightly squashed.

"Kayla, its not what you…" he didn't get a chance to finish his sentence. Kayla ran off to god knows where like a bullet. Bridge was left shocked. He turned to face Syd. She too was shocked.

Bridge decided that he could deal with Syd later. He tried to run after Kayla but had no idea where she went. He cursed under his breath and ran his hand through is hair. This is going to be difficult to explain to Sky.

Author's Note: How is it? I know it's short but I'll keep it as it is until the next chapter. Review!
