-1Disclaimer: I do not own Power Rangers S.P.D.
Sorry for the late update. Got other stories to finish and I almost forgot about this story.
At last, the day all the cadets at Space Patrol Delta had been waiting for has arrived. The S.P.D. dance. Everyone at the academy is preparing for it. Well… almost everybody.
"Aren't you gonna prepare for the dance Jenny?" Lisa asked, as she got up from the couch of the D-squad's common room.
"Nah," Jenny replied, as she placed another card in hr solitaire game.
"Come on girl. This is the first dance since… Ever. Please?"
"Sorry. I'd rather not. You go."
"I can't just leave you."
"Yes you can. Go on. I'll be fine."
"You sure?"
"Yes."
"Okay."
Lisa, with the other D-squad cadets walked out of the room and left the teen to her card game.
One hour later…
Syd is just passing by the D-squad common room when a familiar brown haired girl caught her eye.
"Cadet?" she called, entering the room.
Jenny stood up and saluted.
"At ease," Syd said and Jenny relaxed. "What are you doing in here? The dance is starting in an hour and a half."
"I'm not going ma'am," Jenny answered.
"And may I ask why?"
Jenny blushed. "It's a little embarrassing."
Syd smiled. "Try me."
"Well.. You see… I don't have anything to wear and-"
She paused. She didn't want to mention that fact that she's avoiding the B-squad Blue Ranger. After her accidental confession, she avoids all the possible places he is.
"And?" Syd asked, curious.
Jenny shook her head. "Nothing."
Syd sighed. "Come with me cadet."
"Where to ma'am?" Jenny asked.
Syd smiled a knowing smile. "You'll see."
Twenty minutes later…
"Are you sure about this Syd?" Z asked, as she looked at Jenny. Her duplicate is putting make-up on the fifteen year old. "She looks… Scared."
Syd shook her head as she rummaged through her closet for some of her "old" dresses. "She'll be fine. Besides, you know Bridge will be upset if she's not there. Ah! Here's a good one!"
She pulled out a simple, sleeveless, pink dress with sparkles. She laid it out on the bed and turned to Z's duplicate.
"Are you done with her?" she asked.
The duplicate nodded.
"Good!" Syd replied, happily.
The duplicate disappeared. She turned to Jenny.
"Are you by any chance a size six?" she asked.
"Um… Yeah," Jenny replied nervously.
Syd clapped her hands. "Perfect!"
At the Dance…
"What does she look like again?" Jack asked Sky, as he looked around for Bridge's crush.
(A/N: Jack is at the Dance because he used to be a cadet himself and the fact that Z invited him.)
"Brown hair that's curly at the end, blue eyes and Bridge is looking at her while drooling," Sky replied, smirking at the Blue Ranger.
Jack laughed but Bridge didn't acknowledge what the Red Ranger just said. He keeps on turning his head in all directions but he couldn't find the one he is looking for.
"Where are the girls anyway?" Jack asked again.
"Don't know," Sky replied. Syd's probably still deciding what to wear."
They both laughed again but still, Bridge is not paying attention.
"He's really serious about this isn't he?" Jack whispered.
Sky nodded. "He is."
Just then, Sky saw his girlfriend at the door with Z and a familiar girl… Who looks exactly like…
He nudged Jack and pointed to the door. Seeing their girlfriends with another girl with them, he turned to his friend.
"Is that her?" he whispered.
Sky nodded. Before Bridge knew it, his friends grabbed his shoulder and turned him around to face the door.
"What the-" he began but stopped short.
He just saw the most beautiful girl on the galaxy. Jenny. Her hair is in a half ponytail and she's wearing a pink, sleeveless dress and silver, high heeled shoes.
He watched as she said good-bye to Syd and Z and walk towards her friends.
One hour later…
"Go on Bridge," Syd urged. "Ask her to dance."
Bridge swallowed and slowly walked toward the brown-haired girl. Lucky for him, she's alone because her friends were dancing.
"Um… Hey Jenny," he greeted, nervously. Krybots, monsters, robots, Grumm nor Broodwing can't scare him but talking to Jenny? He'd rather fight them all at once right now but he's already in front of her so why back out?
Jenny looked surprised to see him and fought her own nervousness.
"Good evening Mr. Carson," she replied.
"You look really nice tonight," he said, smiling.
Jenny blushed. "Thank you. You look nice yourself sir."
"Thanks."
Silence.
"Um… Jenny?"
"Yes?"
"About the other day…"
Jenny looked at him confusingly.
"What do you mean sir?"
"You know… When you accidentally confessed that you're in love me."
"Oh."
Jenny blushed and Bridge noticed she looks cute.
"What do you like about me?"
Jenny blushed.
"I don't exactly know why… They say you look ridiculous when you're clueless but I think it's kinda adorable," she replied, her cheeks turning a bright pink.
"Oh… I'm adorable… Wait! I'm clueless?" he asked, being… Well… clueless.
Jenny giggled and Bridge blushed.
"Mr. Carson?"
"Um… Yeah?"
"Is this conversation going somewhere?"
"Um… Nowhere I guess… And why do you keep calling me Mr. Carson? It's Bridge."
Jenny looked at him as if he's crazy.
"You're my superior. I can't just call you by your name."
Bridge nodded. "You're right. Hmmm… Tell you what. You call me Mr. Carson during S.P.D. business. But if we're in Dances such as this, or it's our day off and I ask you out or I see you at the cafeteria at night getting hot chocolate, or-"
"Um… I hate to interrupt you sir but, can you please just get to the point?" Jenny said, fighting a giggle.
"Uh… Right. Yeah… All those. Call me Bridge, okay?"
He smiled that genuine smile of his…(A/N: We all know Bridge's smile is genuine right? sigh) Jenny couldn't say no.
"Yes Mr.- I mean… Bridge," she said, feeling the blood rush to her cheeks.
"That's better."
Silence.
Just then, a slow song came up. Bridge didn't know what to do. He wanted to dance with her but he's…Well… Shy. And he didn't know why he feels like eyes are glaring at him. He turned towards the direction of his friends and he saw them glaring at him.
"What?" he mouthed.
"Dance with her doofus!" Syd mouthed back.
Bridge swallowed and said, "Hey Jenny, you wanna dance?"
"Sure!" Jenny replied happily.
We
were strangers
Starting out on a journey
Never dreaming
What
we'd have to go through
Now here we are
And I'm suddenly
standing
At the beginning with you
Jenny never dreamed that she would be in the arms of the only guy she had ever felt so deeply in love with.
No
one told me
I was going to find you
Unexpected
What you did
to my heart
When I lost hope
You were there to remind me
This
is the start
No one told Bridge that he would find the girl whom he feels differently about.
Life
is a road I'll be there
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna
keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful
journey
When the world stops turning
I'll
be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be
standing
At the beginning with you
Maybe after this night, a new journey awaits them. A journey together.
We
were strangers
On a crazy adventure
Jenny remembered all the times she would try to get his attention. She remembered when she almost threw up in front of him while he was observing one of the D-squad trainings. She giggled at the memory.
Never
dreaming
How our dreams would come true
Jack and Sky were right. The one you love will come at the time you least expect.
Now
here we stand
Unafraid of the future
At the beginning with you
They never knew that the person they have been waiting for in a long time would finally be with them, thanks to Sydney Drew.
Life
is a road I'll be there I knew there was
somebody somewhere Life is a road I'll be there Life is a
road and I wanna keep going
And I want to keep going
Love is a river
I wanna
keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and forever
Wonderful
journey
When the world stops turning
I'll
be there
When the storm is through
In the end I wanna be
standing
At the beginning with you
Like me alone in the dark
Now I know my
dream will live on
I've been waiting so long
Nothing's gonna
tear us apart
And I want to keep going
Love
is a river
I wanna keep flowing
Life is a road
Now and
forever
Wonderful journey
When the world
stops turning
I'll be there
When the storm is through
In the
end I wanna be standing
At the beginning with you
Love is a river I wanna keep going
on...
Starting out on a journey
Life is a road and I wanna
going
Love is river I wanna keep flowing
In the end I wanna be
standing
At the beginning with you.
"Um… Jenny?" Bridge asked, as the song ended.
"Yes Bridge?"
"You available tomorrow?"
"Yeah. Why?"
"Wanna go out with me?"
"Like on a date?"
"Uh-huh."
"Sure."
Bridge kissed her on the forehead and Jenny laid her head on his chest. Another song came up and they kept dancing. Meanwhile, Jack, Sky, Z and Syd are all congratulating each other, especially Syd.
"You made him so happy tonight," Sky said, as they danced.
"I know," Syd replied, smiling.
It's not much but I hope you liked it. Please review.
