It Was You All Along

Disclaimer: Same ol same ol. Sigh. I do not own Power Rangers.

Sky was walking briskly, ignoring Bridge's calls and got inside his room and to the balcony, he left his door open for Bridge to enter, as Bridge entered he closed the door and fell on his back on Sky's bed panting and saying "Skyh!" "You knowhh!" "Youh.. could've respondedhh to myh calls!" "Or simplyh slowed down ah bit!" "Phew!"

Sky simply rolled his eyes and shouted from the balcony "You know where the water is!"

Bridge then opened his uniform jacket to reveal a red spd tshirt and went towards the fridge to get a small bottle of water for himself and another for Sky and went to the balcony.

Sky who was standing leaning on the railing and simply staring out took the water when Bridge offered saying "Thanks."

Bridge then drank the whole bottle in one breath causing Sky to chuckle seeing how thirsty he was and said "Sorry buddy I just didn't want to make a scene in front of anyone."

Bridge now cooled down sits on one of the chairs in the balcony and motions Sky to sit on the chair opposite his.

Sky sighs and sits down, drinks a gulp of water and asks "So time for the guy talk huh?"

Bridge smiles and says "Yup. I know everything Sky you know that right?"

Sky looks at him like he grew another head and asks "Know what?"

Bridge thinking about how Sky's face shows his new love for Z and how he is still indifferent to those feelings, he simply chuckles "Sky you are never gonna change. You have always been like this. Even with Syd. You knew you started liking her but you were too stubborn to admit anything."

Sky's body language changes at the mention of Syd.

Bridge notices this and asks "You've forgiven Syd right?"

Sky first nods his head then immediately shooks his head, Bridge then asks "You didn't?"

Sky says "I mean I don't think about her and I'm sure I do not love her either but I still can't forgive her for what she did to me, I mean Z always tells me to let it go..."

Bridge suddenly cut him off "Hey when do you and Z talk so much? I've never seen you talk to her that much during daytime, and you always tell me about a joke Z had cracked or when you two laughed but when does this happen?"

Sky almost laughed at Bridge's utterly confused face and said "We talk during the night, she comes to my room around 11pm when Soph's asleep and leaves my room around 5am and sleeps for an hour in her room and no one knows about this."

Sky saw Bridge's shocked or a more appropriate word would be horrified face and then thinks about what he said and the way he said it and then suddenly shouts to clear the BIG confusion "No no no no Bridge its not like what you're thinking! Z doesn't come to my room to...I mean...we don't sleep together...I mean we do but not in the way you're thinking!"

Bridge's face still having an alarming expression caused Sky to take a deep breath, look down and say "Bridge! Z and I are just good friends. We meet in the night just to talk about the day and stuff and eat some burgers or pizzas! It started one night 6 or so months ago when Z couldn't sleep and while coming back to her room with her hot chocolate she brought from the common room she saw my door open and came to check on me because I was a mess that time because of Syd and I startled her and she burnt her leg when hot chocolate fell on her and I applied ice and we ended up talking and it kind of became a routine. I mean not the burning part but the talking part. We do not sleep together Bridge. Z is not that type of girl."

Bridge laughed at the end and Sky looked up and asked "Why are you laughing?"

Bridge said "And you guys say I babble!"

Sky then hit his arm and said "Shut up. You should have seen your face!"

Bridge chuckled "Sorry! This was a lot of new information and I just never imagined you to be, you know, so spontaneous. And you've been so happy and laid back lately and Z...well Z has the quality of making everyone happy no wonder half of the SPD male population is after the beautiful and funny blue ranger including the green ranger, he is nuts for her."

Sky suddenly felt a dash of pain which could easily be seen in his face.

Bridge saw this and chuckled "Same old Sky."

Sky lifted one eyebrow up and asked "What do you mean?"

Bridge said "You still can't see you've fallen in love."

Sky's eyes widen but he scoffs "No Bridge I'm not in love with anyone. So please."

Bridge simply rolls his eyes "Okay just hear my questions out and the first person that comes to your head remember her or him or it..no need to tell me who you thought about."

Sky laughs "Seriously Bridge? Again? You did this with me once before too."

Bridge says "Yup. Now first question, whom do you love spending time with?"

Sky thinks 'That's easy! Z.'

"Who can make you feel happy even when you're sad?"

'Z. She always tries to cheer me up.'

"Who's the biggest goof in the world?"

Sky laughs as he remembers many of Z's antics.

'Z again wow.'

"Who's sadness makes you feel like you should try to make them happy?"

'Poor Z when she was punished for throwing the light ball on me. I had to dismiss her in the morning then give her a box of chocolates later that night after seeing her sad face.'

"Who makes you jealous?"

'That stupid Tylor and those C-squad and D-squad cadets who drool over Z...wait Z again?'

"When you are close to which person, your heart starts beating really fast?"

'Z...'

Sky was then lost in the many times he and Z were close that made his heart beat faster and Z to blush, God he loved when she blushed. His thoughts were interrupted when Bridge clicked his fingers in front of Sky's face, having a smile on his face because he knew by Sky's expression that he had only thought about one person and that was Z.

Bridge then got up leaving Sky to his thoughts and said "Last time when I asked you these questions and later on you told me the answers, Syd was the answer to only a few of them." and left.

Sky sat on his chair still thinking about everything. Did he really love Z? Even if he did the bigger question was did she love him back?
