You Found Me: A Story of Sky and Syd

Disclaimer: Me owning Power Rangers is as likely as Chris Violette becoming ugly. (Hint…not going to happen)

Challenge: Song

Timeframe: It doesn't matter, I suppose, but we'll go with after Endings. This challenge is also slightly AU.

"Presenting, ladies and gentlemen, for the second time, Mr. and Mrs. Carter Grayson!"

Carter and Dana came out onto the dance floor. Dana was blushing furiously, but looking quite ecstatic all the same.

Sydney Drew clapped and hollered at her parents along with the other guests. She thought it so sweet and romantic they had decided to renew their vows. Turning her attention back to the table, she watched Uncle Wes offer his hand to Aunt Jen, who took it with a smile.

Sky Tate, Uncle Wes and Aunt Jen's son and Sydney's fellow B-Squad ranger, shook his head.

"They're a couple of teenagers," he scoffed. "Honestly."

Sydney leaned across the table and smacked him lightly. "They're in love. Lighten up."

Sky folded his arms over his chest tightly.

"You're a really boring date, you know," Syd informed him. "You won't even dance with me."

"This isn't a date," Sky protested. "We came as friends, at your request."

"But if we hadn't come as friends you'd be boring me to death. No wonder you're still single," she teased. There was no way in hell she was letting on his statement had cut her to the core.

Syd left the table and wandered over to her Uncle Ryan and Aunt Kelsey.

"Hey brat," Ryan greeted his niece. "What's the matter, Sky doesn't wanna dance with you?"

Sydney shook her head. "But it doesn't matter," she added quickly. The last thing she wanted was for anyone in her family to discover that she was, in fact, in love with Sky.

"Well it's a shame for a pretty girl in a pretty dress not to dance at least once," Ryan remarked casually. "Come on brat."

Sydney shared a dance with her Uncle Ryan only because she knew he was trying to cheer her up. Then her daddy cut in on them, leaving Dana with her brother.

"You alright there, Princess?" Carter asked quietly, regarding his daughter fondly.

"I'm fine, Daddy," Sydney replied, beaming up at him for good measure. "It's such a nice reception and the ceremony was beautiful."

Carter returned Syd's grin. "You sure everything is alright, baby girl?"

Sydney nodded her head and then song ended. "Go find Mom," she instructed her father.

Carter did as he was told and Syd wandered back to her table, shooting longing glances toward Sky.

Both Wes and Jen noticed this. Jen took it upon herself to engage Syd in conversation while Wes muttered to his son.

"Make Syd feel better. Go dance with her."

Syd looked over at Sydney, who was chatting animatedly with his mother. "She looks perfectly happy, Dad."

Wes's response was cut off by Carter's appearance by the microphone.

"This next song is particularly special to Dana and I. Most of you know our daughter Sydney. When Syd was two years old, she went through a period of chronic ear infections. Dana stayed up with Syd, trying to find some way to soothe her.

Well, anyone who knows Syd knows she loves music, so Dana had the bright idea to turn on the radio. The DJ mentioned the music video was about a firefighter, which caught Day's attention. She fell completely in love with it and ever since then it's been our song." Dana and Carter found their way to the dance floor yet again, lost in their own little world.

Sydney couldn't help sighing at her parents' happiness. She wanted someone to hold her close the way her daddy was holding her mom.

Slowly, other couples, including Wes and Jen and Ryan and Kelsey, joined them, swaying in time to the music.

Again she was at the table with Sky. His arms were still folded tightly over his chest, the sleeves of his tux obscuring what Sydney knew to be fairly large biceps. (A/N- Seriously…remember in Walls when he was training with the punching bag?) God he was hot.

Sky felt her azure gaze on him. He could check her out, then, since that was obviously what she was doing to him.

Syd was wearing the same pink dress as his mother and Kelsey. It was strapless and hung about halfway down her calves. The pale pink sheen of satin complimented her golden curls. She looked every bit her nickname of SPD princess.

She glanced up, their blue eyes locking onto each other. Wordlessly they rose, took the other's hand and found themselves surrounded by other couples.

I wanted

I wanted you to stay

Cause I needed

I need to hear you say

That I love you

I have loved you all along

Sorry for the delay…
