Chapter Two: The Universe Hates Sky Tate.

A/N Wow…the responses to this little story have been wonderful and I can't thank you all enough…one lovely lady even wants to put it on her website dedicated to Sky and Syd and all their goodness. It's All In The Chemistry is the name so check it out!

--SPD--

Two weeks…

Two really long weeks….

Sky sat in the lounge reading the revamped SPD handbook trying not to act like he was avoiding the perky blonde that he couldn't seem to shake from his thoughts… and failing miserably because the universe hated Sky Tate. That was the only reason he could come up with for why said perky blonde chose that moment, to enter the common room dressed in pink sweats and a gray SPD tee shirt.

It just wasn't fair for someone to look so…tantalizing in a pair of baggy sweats and a tee shirt. But then, Sky thought as he tried not to stare too much, when that someone was Sydney Drew, and when that someone had walked in on you naked as the day you were born…it did tend to change things.

"Hey Sky," Syd flashed him a grin and sat down next to him close enough for him to smell her perfume.

Oh Dear God….

"Sydney." He said curtly. As discreetly as possible he tried to inch away from her ever so slightly—

"Sky?"

Damnit! She caught on. Now she was looking at him with a semi hurt look on her face. Now he would have to apologize. Cursing the universe and subsequently any deity he could think of he took a deep breath--

"Syd I….."

"So Z would you rather have no nose or no ears?"

Saved by the Bridge…

"No ears," Z retorted. "Then I wouldn't have to listen to you ask me stupid questions all the time." But she smiled when she said it, and Bridge winked at her. Sky fought a groan. It was no secret that Bridge and Z were "famously" in love as Jack put it every time he visited. And as annoyingly cute as the two were, Sky found himself suddenly envying them which shook him more than he cared to admit, even to himself.

"Sky, Syd thank God!" The Yellow Ranger greeted as she plopped down on to the couch practically in Sky and Syd's laps. She seemed oblivious to the tense moment she and Bridge had interrupted and began chattering about how grateful she was that she had the two of them there to save her from Bridge's constant questions and ramblings.

In the wake of Z's rambling only Bridge seemed to notice Syd was uncharacteristically quiet. He secretly took off his glove and flicked his fingers at Syd. The sudden movement drew Syd's gaze and she sent him a puzzled look.

The Blue Ranger sent her a gentle smile and she caught on to what he had done. Annoyance flashed across her face to be replaced by a small, quick smile of her own. He really was only concerned. Bridge was far from invasive. She must have been broadcasting quite a bit for him to read her.

Deciding that some sort of apology was in order, Syd got up from the couch and threw her arms around Bridge.

"You're the best Bridgey!" She said hoping he got her silent apology. His extra squeeze confirmed that he did. And without another word she walked out of the common room to head to the gym.

--SPD—SPD—SPD—SPD—SPD—SPD—SPD—SPD—SPD—SPD—SPD—

"Umm…what just happened?" Z asked five minutes after Syd's departure. She gave Sky a pointed look, as if her walking out with barely a word were all his fault. Okay so maybe it was. But it was just that he could feel his body reacting to the Pink Ranger in a way it hadn't before. And it should be against regulation to look so desireable in a pair of sweats. Sky put his head in hands. It was official: the Universe was mocking him. As he geared up for yet another apology he was once again saved by Bridge.

The Blue Ranger, in response to Z's question shrugged and said: "What can I say? I'm a hit with the ladies." Followed by a startled "HEY!" as a gray pillow hit him square in the face. Sky couldn't help it. He grinned.

Note to self, buy Bridge a few extra loaves of bread for buttery toast.

"You totally deserved that! Quit flirting with Syd! I know the two of you do it just to get on my nerves and-"

Bridge did the only thing he could think of to shut Z up. He walked over, pushed Z back into the couch and kissed her.

Kill me now…

Sky didn't need Bridge's psi abilities to get the message. With a sigh loud enough to let them know he was annoyed (not that they cared at any rate)he walked out the common room and towards the gym. He decided he needed a workout. Afterall, if the Universe hated him, he might as well be in a position to stand up to it. He had a fairly good idea of who would win that stand off.

Yeah I know the characters are a little OOC. But it's not ment to be a sweet romantic fic. It's ment to be funny. Lustful. Passionate. It's a bit longer than I had anticipated. I'm under the impression that I can't write one shots. Oh well. I hope you guys enjoy! And I think that if Sky really was going all like omg Syd's hot that maybe one way of expressing it would be to basically feel like he was being conspired against. We all know our Sky loves order…falling for or lusting for (youll find out) Syd probably isn't an organized or regimented thing.
