“Smile,” Syd told him as she leapt over the couch and joined him in sitting extremely still but hardly as silent as he was currently doing. “Everything is all alright now.”
“I suppose so,” Sky replied a few moments later with a hint of a sigh in his tone-of-voice. “So what's your point?”
“My point is pretty obvious, have fun and come and celebrate with us,” she ordered him, with an overexcited grin on her face.
Sky had not been informed about this celebration. However it was now really obvious by the way Syd was currently dressed. It was not just any excuse to dress up this time. This was the party they had been secretly looking forward to all year, even though no one knew it would happen, or even if it could.
“Celebrate?” Sky asked as he raised her an eye-brow.
“Celebrate,” she repeated while nodding at him, “the fact that we finally won, Grumm and his army have finally been defeated by us. We finally did it, Sky.”
Sky was forced to smile with her over-enthusiasm at the idea at the party and more at the idea that they had finally won, and that they had worked so hard for it all year. “It was a long and tough year, wasn’t it?”
Syd nodded back at him, “but we got through it all as a team.”
“When we finally realised how to work as a team,” Sky replied. He was thinking in particular of when he took an immediate dislike to Jack, only because he had took the position of the red ranger. Sky knew it was his destiny to become the red ranger, and it sometimes came in-between the team and caused rifts between certain rangers. Mainly him and Jack.
“You were a bit of a nightmare when you became the blue ranger,” Syd laughed, and then she nudged him playfully, “but you then learnt that heroes came in all colours.”
“So what did you learn over the past year then?” He then asked her smartly, while turning to face her which he had not done previously.
Syd had to think for a few moments before answering his question. “I guess I learned to trust my team-mates. Also that we can all be friends while taking into consideration how different we all are.”
“We have made some great friends,” Sky told her as a matter of fact.
“We really have. Jack and Z… And even Piggy,” Syd laughed out loud to him, “I hope we don’t loose touch with Jack now he has left. I mean he will be at the party bu---”
“If I know Jack… And I do, he will make sure he visits occasionally,” he reassured her.
She then smiled back at him. He always made her smile, even when he did not intend to, he did. It was his speciality in being her friend, just like it was creating a force field in his personal powers that they all had.
“Thank you, Sky,” she told him as she cuddled up to him. Syd then rested her head in his neck which made her feel more comfortable and also more relaxed.
“Thanks for what?” Sky smiled sneakily, he knew what really.
“Being my friend. I know it must have been difficult sometimes,” she admitted.
“Well throughout the year you have become a lot less self-centred, which made me like you even more than I did when I first met you all those years ago,” he grinned to himself.
“You thought I was self-centred?” Syd asked while she pouted mockingly. She then laughed at him when he was quite worried that he had offended her, “I am joking, I know I was, I do actually admit that. I think I have developed with that as well. Becoming more independent, not relying on my family’s money so much and getting used to all the hard work.”
“Your childhood must have been so easy,” Sky sighed.
“You have no idea! How people only wanted to be my friend because of the big house and the slight hope that I might have gotten them an expensive present for their birthdays,” Syd admitted to him. She then rubbed her eyes as she did not want to show him the tears that always followed when she told someone all of that.
“Is that why you joined the academy?” He then asked.
“Well kind of… That and I wanted to make things happen on my own. Like I am now no longer known as the spoilt young girl who always relies on her parents, just because they are made of money and throw it towards me at every single opportunity.”
“I never thought that about you,” Sky smiled. “I have to admit the first thing I thought of when I first saw you though was what is someone so beautiful doing in a place like this?”
Syd blushed. It was not exactly aimed to be a complement to her, but it still made her feel better. “Your not so bad yourself.”
Sky laughed at her latest comment, that was more like a complement, rather than what he said.
Syd then looked up at Sky knowingly. They both knew what was coming so when they leaned inwards, neither of them pulled back before both of their lips met. They both fell into a passionate embrace which lasted until they could no longer breathe.
Syd continued to look up at him and smiled, “So how about this party?"
