-------

A day has passed, Sky and Syd still hasn't reconciled. Neither was modest enough to apologize so the team was pretty much divided at that time. Z was with Sydney as usual; the boys stuck together like they always do.

"I'll see you guys later. I have to talk to Commander Cruger." Sky bid goodbye to Jack and Bridge. They had just finished with this week's simulated training. The two left the room; heading towards the cafeteria.

Sky started walking. He walked through the corridor connecting the main building and the commander's underground office. On his way, he noticed a suspicious shadow that was walking outside Cruger's office. He did not waste his time and immediately approached the silhouette. Sky grabbed the persons arm and twisted to prevent the person from escaping.

"Who are you and what are you doing sneaking around the commander's office?" Sky interrogated the unidentified person.

"I-I'm here to see Sydney Drew. – I'm her fiancé." That was then when Sky found out that the person he seized was in fact, his rival. Sky slowly let go of his arm.

Sky apologized to James and upon finding out that commander Cruger wasn't in his office, walked him to the SPD receiving area.

"S-so, how long--" He was hesitant whether he should or should not ask him about his relationship with Syd.

To his surprise, James somehow knew what he was trying to ask. "Yesterday. I've only met Sydney yesterday."

Sky's mouth dropped (not literally) because of what he just heard. "Yesterday?"

"The reason why Syd and I are engaged is because our parents set us up. – I found out about it two years ago. But I was on navy training so I didn't have the time to--" He stopped when he saw Sky's astonished expression. "I'm sorry. I guess I'm boring you."

"N-no. No. I was listening. Something just came up in my mind." Sky was flabbergasted how he didn't hate James the way he was supposed to.

"So when I finally finished training, I grabbed the opportunity to meet my future wife." James continued.

The words 'future wife' kept echoing inside Sky head. "Does that mean that you agree with the engagement?"

"At first I didn't really know what to do. But when I met her---" Before he could he even finish, James was once again interrupted by a familiar voice.

"James? Sky? W-w-w--?" They met Syd at the receiving area. She was with Z who was as surprised that the two were together.

Z crossed her arms. "Has the world gone mad? You two – together!?"

"Sydney. I've been looking for you. – Sky was kind to direct me here. I was hoping we could talk about our situation." He walked towards her.

"That would be a good idea. – By the way, this is Z." Syd was glad that she'd finally know the details about this "engagement" James was talking about.

"Nice to meet you." James' smile made Z blush like a 9th grader.

Z leaned over Syd. "Oh my gosh. He IS hot!"

"We'll see you guys later. It was nice meeting you too, Sky. I'm glad Sydney has friends like you here in SPD. He bid farewell to both Z and Sky.

"What do you think they're talking about?" Sky asked in a very anxious voice. He and Z were at the receiving area waiting for Syd and James.

"Hmm… Their wedding most probably." Z started laughing when she saw Sky's frightened reaction. "I was just kidding, silly."

Sky sighed. "I-I know."

A few minutes later, Syd came. "Hey."

"So how was your "talk"?" Z asked slowly.

Syd sat beside Z. "He told me everything." Her face changed from relieved to serious. "And he wants to push through with the wedding."
