Aw. Widdle Sky, Dru and Bridge are so cute! Especially Bridge with all his false bravado. <3 You make me really wish Dru was on the team. ;_; They make a cute trio!

&hearts I already have more stories in this time/universe planned because I love writing them like this- before Sky became a total tightass and when Dru was still his BFF. Awkward little D-Squad cadets are adorable.

Glad you liked it!

...how did I miss this before?! This is lovely. I really like this glimpse into what they were like, and I also kind of dig that the ADULTS are the ones to save the day! I mean, I love seeing where innocent/brave/skilled kiddies manage to fix everything but it's SO good to have something balancing that. :) :) :) Bridge and Dru are smart and gutsy, but experience counts for something.

I also really dig the relationship between the three musketeers. Very believable. POOR SKY.

Yeah, they've got to mess up once in a while. ;) They really had no idea what they were doing when they went after him, which I think is so much more realistic than them coming in and being totally competent and knowing just what to do. It'd make more sense if they were a higher rank, but in this story, they're all rookies. Maybe a little full of themselves and overestimating their own abilities.

I also really dig the relationship between the three musketeers. Very believable. POOR SKY.I hope to write more stories in this universe and explore their relationship some more. Just from Bridge's reaction to Dru's appearance in "Idol" I got the idea that they kinda didn't get along; maybe they tried to but just didn't like each other. Dru is the only person I

Oh, I'd love to see more here. I really like the way you're setting it up; it's very believable that Bridge & Dru would make efforts with each other mostly for Sky's sake, but it just wouldn't... quite... work. :)

I'll have to be careful with it so it's not TOO angsty/doesn't make Dru too much like his appearance in S.P.D. canon, though; just because the viewers know he betrays Sky doesn't mean he has to act like it. :x
