It Was You All Along
Disclaimer: *Sighs* I do not own POWER RANGERS!
(A/n: Get ready for the start of Sky/Z friendship...I mean they were friends before but now is their journey towards being in love...but don't expect Sky/Z love now. OMG I'm babbling like Bridge :P Just see this as the phase between friendship and love.)
After destroying and containing the monster Z and Tylor came back to the command centre. Kat who was standing with Sky smiles and says "Congratulations Z I could see real leadership quality in you today..Doggie would be so proud. And Tylor congrats on your first mission...And.." But she couldn't complete when Boom came running covered in smoke screaming "Kat Kat I screwed the quantum enhancer I screwed the quantum enhancer!" Everyone rolled their eyes except Tylor who looked genuinely concerned. Kat saw the concern and said "Don't worry this happens a lot I'll fix it." And goes after Boom leaving Sky, Z and Tylor in the command centre.
Sky then smiles and says "You were really good today Z, the pro-combat training you did 6months ago in planet Xenux has really made you a great fighter." Z blushes a bit and smiles and says "Thank you commander." Sky then moves on to Tylor and says "As for you Tylor, you need to improve even more, you are third in command, I advice you to do more training. Dismissed." Z who looked confused because she thought Tylor fought well saluted with Tylor and was following him to leave when the commander said "Not you Z." She then stopped and when Tylor went looking disappointed Z asked Sky "You didn't think he fought well today Sky?" Sky looked her and said "No Z he still needs to learn a lot." Z still confused asks "Learn what?" Sky then glares at her and says "Why are you taking his side I just felt he needed to improve." Z now seeing Sky glaring at her shoots "Hey I didn't think he fought that bad he, Kyle and SOPHIE have all completed SWAT training and we've trained them ourself on Earth so I think they're pretty good, best of C-squad as per me." She now didn't need to mellow down because Sky was not depressed like he was two weeks back. Sky smiles "So the old Z is back." Z sees his smile and smiles back "She never left, she just didn't come out much but now she will." Z winks at Sky. Sky laughs and says "Yeah I think I was pretty hard on him I'll talk to him later." Z then comes and sits on one of the chairs of the round table and Sky sits on another chair.
They both smile and both remained silent but then Z said "Hey Sky we really miss you in the common room even though you used to sit by yourself reading the SPD handbook or making a model plane or drink coffee or simply glare at us for having fun, but we still miss you." Sky smiled causing Z's heart to melt and said "I miss it too Z, I miss your constant mockery, witty replies but I love being commander too." He says with his chest puffed with pride. Z simply rolls her eyes and was about to say something when her morpher beeps she picks it up and finds out SOPHIE is on the other line telling her to come to the common room pronto as Bridge is having a buttery toast eating competition against Kyle! Z gets all excited and Sky smiles, she then looks at Sky who motions her to get going, Z's smile goes away as she knows Sky wont be joining her and sighs and tells she'll be right there and tells them not to start without her.
Z then looks at Sky and says "Lighten up Sky!" Sky smiles remembering when she told him this 2 and half years back during Syd and Jack's birthday party. He then shakes his head slightly to remove thoughts of Syd.. Just when Z was about to go she tripped and was about to fall when Sky got hold of her. She looked into Sky's eyes and he was directly looking into hers too, Sky felt his hand touching Z's waist and the other on her shoulder and he was enjoying it. He then sees strands of long hair on Z's face and removes his hand from her shoulder still holding her firmly by the waist and removes any hair that was hiding her beautiful face...Sky then let his finger remove the hair from her forhead touching her face from the forhead to her cheek to letting the hair fall back.. Sky's morpher beeps, an alarm for something, ruining the moment as Z and Sky both looked embarrassed and Z's face was pinker than SOPHIE's uniform. Z then mutters "Damn heels." Sky only smiled as he saw how the wedge heeled boots looked so good on her. Z completely embarrased gave him a salute and left. Z then thought why did she salute him omg what must he be thinking shes so dumb! She then reached the common room only to see everyone waiting for her and as she entered Tylor said Ready Set Go! And Bridge and Kyle started stuffing their faces with buttery toast while SOPHIE recorded the whole thing! Z laughed seeing Bridge's face but all she could think was about the moment she had with Sky in the command centre...
(A/n: Well how was the moment?)
