You Found Me: A Story of Sky and Syd

Disclaimer: I will own Power Rangers as soon as Chris stops being hot. So…never.

Challenge: Distraction

Timeframe: Can take place anywhere after Endings.

"Why is it that I always get stuck on a stakeout on my birthday?" Sydney Drew huffed.

"Stop being so juvenile Sydney," Sky Tate ordered, lugging a silver briefcase full of spying equipment over to the window. "We're here on duty, not to whine about your social calendar."

Sydney glared at him. "Just because you think it's silly doesn't mean I don't want to be there. My mom had to cancel everything at the last minute and it still cost a fortune."

"The last I heard Uncle Carter and Aunt Dana weren't in need of money."

"Oh shut up," Sydney pouted, smacking his arm lightly. She looked at the floor. It was wooden, oak maybe, and in dire need of a good polish. "This place is so gross."

Sky glanced at her sideways. She was upset and he thought fleetingly that he should have brought one of the others. It did seem a little unfair that he'd made her work on her birthday, especially after what happened with Jack the year before.

No. Sydney knew that as a power ranger she had to be ready for anything, including working on birthdays if that was what the case called for.

"You'll live," he told her. Sky sat down on the black leather couch in front of the window and held a pair of binoculars to his eyes. Sydney perched on a stool, scowling.

There was silence for a while as Sky watched the building across the street and Syd stewed in her anger.

"You did this in purpose," Sydney accused.

Sky lowered the binoculars. "I did not."

"Oh yes you did," Syd shot back. "You think everyone's life revolves around SPD just because yours does. Well I've got news for you Sky, I have a life!"

"Get over yourself, Syd."

Syd snatched the binoculars from him and began watching the building. The silence was maddening.

"You really think I did this on purpose, don't you?"

Syd nodded. "You think I'm a selfish prissy little princess and this was your idea of teaching me a lesson."

Sky stared at her. "I don't think that at all," he whispered softly, turning away from her.

It was Syd's turn to gape at him. She shook her head.

They sat in silence a bit longer. Then Syd got up from her spot on the stool, swung her right leg up onto the windowsill and reached gradually for her foot. She then repeated the process with her left leg.

Sky watched out of the corner of his eye. Watching her stretch like that…the apartment they were in grew very hot suddenly. It was almost as if she was flirting with him.

Then, smirking, Sydney sauntered over to the couch. Devastatingly slowly Syd straddled Sky's waist, grabbed him by the front of his jacket and smashed her mouth over his.

Yes, Sydney Drew could be quite distracting when she wanted to be.

OK then…please tell me it was halfway decent? Please?

Smile is up next. That one should be way better.
