It Was You All Along

(A/n: Sky/Z moment coming up!)

Z simply sat and smiled thinking about what happened earlier in the command centre, how much she loved Sky's firm hands holding her, his eyes fixed on hers, the way her heart beat grew by the second, her thoughts were interrupted by Tylor literally screaming "Z!" Z suddenly snapped out of her dreams only to see everyone looking at her, Kyle with a balloon face stuffed with buttery toast and Bridge's face even more swollen with half a toast sticking out. She said "Wh...what?" Bridge says something with his mouth full but is only understood as mumble, SOPHIE cuts him and says "We've been calling you for some time now but you just weren't paying attention and…"
"Whatever but Kyle won right? He won." Tylor said not letting her finish. SOPHIE glares at him "No he hasn't all I've been saying is that Bridge has won so you can suck it okay?" Both Tylor and SOPHIE continue their heated argument, Z simply chuckles and looks down. After the buttery toast competition Bridge and Z went for their scheduled patrolling on the jeep, Bridge driving and Z sitting on the side looking out for anything suspicious. Bridge then breaks the silence saying "Hey Z you look a bit off these days, I know you miss Syd but I think there's something else too..." Z looks at him and sighs "Yeah Bridge there's a lot going on in my head but I'd rather not talk about it you know." She smiles sweetly. Bridge smiles at her and looks ahead and says "All right." After some time Bridge says "Hey isn't that Jack and Ally and oh..." he stops talking when he sees them kissing in the park. Z simply laughs. They stop right in front of them causing Jack and Ally to break apart, Z smirks and says "Bro get a room." Jack sees his friends in the jeep and laughs "Heyyyyy. So patrolling? How much do I miss this." Z and Bridge both sensing the sarcasm in his voice roll their eyes, Bridge saying "Yeah right!" Suddenly their morphers ring as Z answers hers Kat says "A robot is coming your way i've sent the others." Bridge tilts his head to answer into Z's morpher "We're on it Kat." Just then the green, yellow and pink rangers come on three patrol cycles. Z glares at them "Hey that's my ride!" Tylor who is sitting on her blue patrol cycle smirks and says "Hop on then." Jack glares at him and Z simply rolls her eyes and says "Get off!" as she hops on her patrol cycle, Tylor laughs and gets on his green patrol cycle, Bridge hops on his red one and Kyle and SOPHIE hop on the jeep and scoot off with Z shouting "Bye Jack Ally!" leaving Jack simply annoyed by the way Tylor flirted with his little sister. Ally sees his annoyance and scoffs "Oh c'mon Jack she's big enough to handle herself!" Jack smiles at her thinking how perfectly she reads his mind and says "Yeah my sis is the blue ranger..." he looks down n smiles then looks up playfully at Ally and continues "Now... where were we?" Ally giggles and leans in to capture his lips as he kisses her passionately.

That night Z had a tough time sleeping as her mind was still fixed on the memories of earlier that day, how she felt perfect being in Sky's arms. Still smiling at the thought she sees the time its 10:30pm and gets up tying the strings of her sky blue night-robe over her white tankini top and dark blue pajama shorts, she walks towards the common room, as she gets her hot chocolate and walks in the empty hallways towards her room she sees the commander's room is slightly open, she finds this weird and knocks and almost whispers "Sky? Sky you alright? Sky?" She then squeals when she feels a strong hand on her shoulder and while abruptly turning back a bit of hot chocolate falls on her right thigh and she screams in a whispering voice "Ow ow ow ow ow... Sky! You scared me ow ow ow!" Sky then stands there amused seeing Z hopping on one leg with one hand holding her open hair together and the other holding the hot chocolate... She looks so cute he thought and with a wide smile said "Sorry Z! Here come I'll put some ice!" He takes the hot chocolate from her hand and holds her upper arm and takes her to his room. Z looks at the room in amazement and sits on the chair Sky brought her to and says "Wow when did we check into a 7 star hotel?" Sky chuckles as he takes a cube of ice from the fridge and says "Yeah the room is pretty nice." "And big don't forget big! Ooohh you have a fridge too? Sweet! And whats..." She said pointing towards a big metal guarded box "...that big met...oww!" Her excited outburst was cut short when she felt ice on the spot where the hot chocolate fell on her thigh, she then looked down to see Sky kneeling down and gently applying ice on the burnt part, she smiled and her face resembled a bright red apple.

When Sky looked up at the now silent Z, he smiled seeing her flushed face and asked "What is what? You we're asking something." She didn't hear anything because she was imagining herself and Sky making out in his room and then going down for their 10th wedding anniversary party where their twins waited for them and...and her thoughts were interrupted when she was shaken by Sky saying "Z!" She then asked "Huh sorry what?" He rolled his eyes "What were you thinking about cadet?" He smirked. It was her turn to roll her eyes and said "Ohh nothing mighty commander!" He laughed and said "Well that is a safe in which all the main criminal containment cards are kept safely." She then looked at him innocently confused. He then saw her confused face and said "Weren't you asking about that?" He said pointing towards the big heavy box. "Uhhh nevermind what has gotten into you Z? You've been well, NOT you since the past days." Z smiled and said "Oh it's nothing I just have a lot on my mind." Sky then smiled and said "Hey c'mon I want to show you something." He then took her to the big balcony attached to his room and she was just awestruck by the city view in front of her. The wind blew causing her hair to fly and light blue robe to flutter... Sky then saw how beautiful Z actually looked, he just never noticed. He then pulled Z to sit beside him on the mattress on the floor with pillows. She sat and they talked and talked about everything not caring about the time.

It was 12:15am and the commander exclaimed "You've never had a boyfriend? I mean how is that even possible!" Z still chuckling at his amazement says "Hey what's there not to believe! I just didn't find the right guy! I thought I had a boyfriend in a guy named Chris when I was 15 but now when I think of it, it was nothing but a silly teen infatuation" Sky still amazed asks "You've never even kissed anybody?" Z looks down her cheeks slightly pink. Sky looks at her embarrassment and teases "Ohooo you have!" Z blushing hard "Yeah! It was with Chris. That was my first and only kiss till now." Z says still blushing.
The clock shows 2am and laughter can be heard from both Sky and Z and Z saying "Wait wait so you're telling me you actually wore a sarong to school?" Sky trying to contain his laughter "Well I had no choice Fred challenged me to! Oh my God now when I think of it..." He couldn't complete because he burst out laughing at that thought again, Z laughing the whole time.

4:59am and the sun is bright showing two friends sleeping on a balcony half-covered up with a black quilt, with Z's head on Sky's shoulder, a faint smile on both faces. Sky's morpher rings to show its 5am. He had put the alarm in the night incase Z crashed in his room and Z could then get back to her room without being caught. Sky wakes up seeing Z sleeping peacefully and smiles but then wakes her up "Hey Z get up." Z's eyes slowly open and when she sees the city skyline in her view her eyes become wider. Sky chuckles "Don't be startled Z we were talking and then both of us slept here, I think you should get back to your room." Z looking at him smiling says "Yeah you're right." She gets up, Sky following suit, she then ties her robe tighter and combs her messy bed hair with her fingers and wears her bed slippers and gets into his room and proceeds to leave his room but before she leaves she looks back at Sky who was simply looking at her tired because of the lack of sleep, and says smiling "I cannot remember a day when I laughed so much with you Sky thanks for opening up. I had a great time." Sky smiles and replies "Me too Z. I needed that." Z nods still smiling and leaves. Sky sighs and jumps on his bed still smiling, puts an alarm for 6am and sleeps. Z tiptoes her way into her room and puts an alarm for 6:30 and jumps on her bed and almost immediately sleeps.

(A/n: Awww so sweet right?)
