Sky and his friends were done eating, they went in an arcade, while they let RIC head back to the clock tower and started to play some of the games, going separately with the partners they had before at the town fair.
"Nice one, Jack. You know how to shoot some hoops." Bridge said.
"Well, I was a street kid, played with many kids and didn't care if I was homeless." Jack said.
"Let's not forget, you and Z did some stealing too." Bridge said.
"Yes. Though you know we did it for a reason." Jack said.
"I know, I did read both your aura's, you both weren't bad people." Bridge said.
"But, I will admit I do miss being a ranger, but since there is no danger now going on in New Tech City." Jack said.
"Well so far, no danger going on in the past few days with no sign of that criminal." Bridge said.
"Commander Cruger and Kat are probably wondering why we haven't contacted them." Jack said.
"If they knew our equipment was stolen by the criminal and those robots along with those two accomplices." Bridge said.
"They'll sort of know, when they sense were in trouble." Jack said.
"Your right, but enough talking let's keep on playing." Bridge said, and both went to play another game. While Andrea and Syd were by the crane machines and had no luck getting a stuffed animal.
"That's like the fifth one and no luck." Syd said.
"These crane games are tricky." Andrea said.
"Let's try another one, with the few tokens we got." Syd said.
"Hopefully I can get this one." Andrea said, while moving the crane when finally it got a stuffed animal.
"Look at that, you did it." Syd said.
"Yes. I did. Sky always tells me to keep trying and never give up." Andrea said.
"So we've been told. By the way can I ask you something?" Syd asked.
"Sure." Andrea answered.
"Has your dad ever tried to date, since your mom died?" Syd asked, and Andrea was a bit surprised.
"No. He hasn't. It has been really hard on him, I don't think he has eyes on for any other women." Andrea answered.
"Understood. Well, let me ask you this: What would happen if your dad was dating someone? Would you and Sky be okay with it?" Syd asked, and Andrea was still a bit surprised.
"To be honest, I wouldn't be okay with it, that would mean he would forget about my mom, even if he is dating someone, he would tell me and Sky about it, he wouldn't keep secrets from us." Andrea explained.
"I understand, so I assume you and Sky wouldn't be okay with it." Syd said.
"My dad wouldn't love anyone else who isn't my mom, to be sincere here, and knowing my brother, he would never speak to him." Andrea said.
"I'm sorry, maybe I shouldn't have asked you this." Syd said.
"Syd. Do me a favor and don't ever mention this to my brother on what we talked about." Andrea said.
"I won't. You have my word." Syd said.
"Thanks. And you don't need to apologize, you just wanted to know my opinion." Andrea said
"Yeah. No worries. Why don't you teach me to play some games." Syd said.
"Sure. Come on." Andrea answered, and both went to play on one of the games, while Z and Tyler were playing air hockey.
"Looks like I won again for the eighth time." Z said.
"Yeah. Lucky you." Tyler said.
"You know, you weren't even trying. I think you were just letting me win." Z said.
"I guess you can say that." Tyler said.
"Something on your mind? You want to talk about it?" Z asked.
"Can we sit somewhere?" Tyler responded.
"Let's go sit by that bench." Z said, and both went to sit. "Well, whenever your ready, I'm all ears."
"I don't know where to begin." Tyler said.
"Something has been bothering you for a while, hasn't it?" Z asked.
"Yeah. You guessed right." Tyler answered. "I've been trying to talk to my dad about something that I know he won't be happy about."
"As in what?" Z asked.
"Well since I was a kid, I have looked up to my dad, I liked what he does as being a Silver Guardian, I wanted to grow up to be just like him." Tyler explained.
"You want to become one of those Silver Guardians." Z said.
"It's what I always wanted to be, though when I received a letter that I got accepted to college, I tried to hide it from my parents, but they found out about it and they were proud of me that I got in." Tyler said.
"You didn't want to go college, did you?" Z asked.
"It was what my parents wanted for me, when I told my dad that I didn't want to go and that I wanted to join the Silver Guardians, I thought he was going to be happy about it that I was going to continue on as one, but he was upset with me and wasn't going to let me join." Tyler explained.
"Was there a reason why he didn't want you to join?" Z asked.
"He didn't want to tell me, not at the moment he told me. I was surprise that he raised his voice at me saying I should to to college. I told him I hated him and I got so mad at him I slammed the door at his face." Tyler answered.
"Sounded like you were really mad at him, but you shouldn't have told him you hated him." Z said.
"You didn't know how angry I was, so my mom then talked to me and thought I should give college a try, at least she understands and believes in me." Tyler said.
"You didn't stay mad at him for long, did you?" Z asked.
"No. We talked and I apologized for saying that I hated him, he even apologized for raising his voice at me, so then I gave college a shot for the last four years and well...let's just say it was never for me." Tyler answered.
"I kind of have to agree with you on that, studies weren't for me." Z said.
"My dad has been proud of me, though I don't know how to tell him that I don't want to continue going to college anymore." Tyler said.
"Let me guess, your afraid he'll react the same way he did when you told him you didn't want to go." Z said.
"Yeah. Pretty much, he's going to be very disappointed in me." Tyler said.
"All I can say is whatever reason your dad doesn't want to let you join, listen to him and try to explain to him on why you don't want to continue to go to college." Z said.
"I hope he understands, and maybe I'll try and understand him." Tyler said.
"Feel better talking about it?" Z asked.
"Yeah. I do. Thanks for listening." Tyler answered.
"Your welcome." Z responded, and they both smiled at each other.
"Why don't we do another re-match of air hockey." Tyler said.
"Sure. Try to play furreal this time." Z said, and both went by the the air hockey table to play, while Sky and Megan were playing a laser gun game and both ended up winning.
"That was so fun, you shot the most targets." Megan said.
"Years of practice, is all I can say." Sky said.
"Want to take a little break?" Megan asked.
"Sure. Let's sit at that bench." Sky answered, and they both went to sit.
"You know, I can't believe after all these years, you didn't know it was your step-dad, who saved your grandfather from dying." Megan said.
"Yeah. He didn't know I was hiding in the closet surprisingly." Sky said.
"I remember how sad you were wanting him to get better." Megan said.
"I remember, when I had to spend the night at your house while my mom stayed at the hospital with my grandfather." Sky said.
"Neither of us couldn't sleep, we all wanted your grandfather to get better." Megan said.
"My step-dad did tell me he wanted to save him again, but his heart wasn't strong enough." Sky said.
"We were thirteen, I remember it was a really sad day for all of us, my dad gave a eulogy at his funeral." Megan said.
"Your dad said a lot of kind things about him, my mom told me he did the same with my dad at his funeral." Sky said.
"I remember, when my parents always visited him, so he wouldn't feel alone, since he lost his only son. Your grandfather did see my dad like a son and saw me and Tyler as his grandchildren." Megan said.
"The one thing I remember after my grandfather's funeral, my mom told me ever since my dad died, she told my grandfather about me, and was happy to know he had a grandson from his only son, you know what he said." Sky said.
"What did he say?" Megan asked.
"That meeting and knowing about me was the best that has ever happened to him, because his son knows he was no longer alone." Sky said.
"He was right, you did changed his life, because he was happy again." Megan said, when they both smiled at each other and started to get a little close, when Andrea and Syd came walking by them.
"Hey Sky. Megan." Syd said, and they both turned around.
"What is it?" Sky asked.
"The arcade is closing in ten minutes. We should go now." Andrea said.
"Okay. Will go. I'll go find the rest. Both of you stay with Megan." Sky said, as he went to go find his friends. After he found them and headed their way out, Tyler, Megan, and Andrea were starting to walk their way back home, same with Sky and his friends heading back to the clock tower.
