"What is going on here?" A familiar voice subjugated the room. It was Commander Cruger; behind him were Kat and the rest of the rangers whose faces were occupied by weariness.
Syd and Sky quickly let go of each other and stood still in reverence to the commander.
"Uhm… We were – we were just…" He didn't know what to say.
"Are you actually saying that you two just made up?" Z was intrigued by what she just saw.
The green ranger quickly thought of a punch line. "Made up? Or made out?" Bridge's remark made both of them blush.
Before the others could even think of something worse, Sky decided to change the topic. "What are you all doing here?"
Kat explained that the Eastern branch of SPD was attacked by an unknown troupe of invaders. The rangers, including Syd and Sky, quickly prepared for their mission and went off.
-------
Upon reaching Xiamen, China, where the East branch is located, the rangers split to be able to find the microchip they had to destroy. The two girls set off together; Sky and Bridge teamed up; Jack went alone.
-------
"According to Kat, we have to destroy the circuit in less than— hey, are you even listening to me?" Bridge noticed the sudden change in his teammate.
Sky had a smile tattooed on his face. His mind was clearly occupied by something else.
"I knew this would happen." Bridge said, seeing Sky's aura. "But don't get too carried away. People might think you're crazy."
"What?" Sky pretended to be clueless of what Bridge was saying.
Bridge mischievously gasped for air. "Nothing. I just smell love in the air." For the past five years, this was the first time he saw his friend this enthused.
The blue ranger hit him and smirked. "Shut up."
-------
"Are you gonna tell me what happened or are you just gonna let me think what I'm thinking?" Though she already knew what was happening, Z wanted to hear directly from Syd what the score was between her and Sky.
Sydney opened her mouth to explain, but before she could even utter a word, Z immediately interrupted. "Don't worry. I know you don't kiss and tell!"
"That is SO not true!" Syd scoffed. "I mean -- we didn't kiss. We just made up."
"And what was that passionate hug all about?" Z multiplied herself into five to surround Syd.
Being interrogated by Z makes Syd feel dizzy. What more could five clones of her do? Sydney didn't know what and how to respond.
-------
"Gosh. I am sooo exhausted." Z whined as she put her stuff on top of the table. They are just back from their latest mission, which they accomplished swiftly.
Bridge positioned himself on the couch right away and closed his eyes. "Yeah. Me too. – Good thing we finished early."
Z sat beside Jack and drank from the bottle of energy drink she was holding.
"I think it helped that they're inspired." Jack referred to the rangers who were not in the room at that time.
Bridge and Z gave nods of agreement.
-------
Sky was seated beside the near pond, practicing yoga. But even how much he tried, he couldn't clear his mind. Sydney's face kept appearing; he didn't know how to stop what he was feeling.
He was baffled. He was fully aware on what he was feeling for the girl. Could it be love? He didn't know. He has never fallen in love before.
Upon opening his eyes, he looked at his reflection on the water and was surprised at what he saw. Instead of his, he saw Sydney's visage. He thought that it was just hallucinating until he heard her voice.
"Spending some time alone, are you?" Syd bent to sit next to him.
"The ground's dirty." He warned her, but she still sat.
"Don't worry. I'll get this dry cleaned later." She looked at the pond and noticed a Lotus flower floating. "Don't you think it feels alone?"
"The flower?" Sky noticed the sudden glow in her eyes. "Not anymore."
He pointed out another one on the other side of the lake. "Even how far away those two are, they're still connected to each other. – They have something no other specie in this pond has."
Syd was enthralled by what he just said. She put her attention back to the Lotus. "It's very beautiful, isn't it?"
"But not as beautiful as you." Sky said, looking directly into her eyes.
