I amuse myself way too easily ...
-Cannot stop laughing- Okay, these are the birthdates and coresponding Zodiac signs I gave B Squad in Bright Skies. Then I ran a 'Love Compatibility' for each possible pairing among the group. According to the stats from Goto Horoscope.com, Z and Syd are perfect for each other while Bridge longs for Z from afar. And Sam will have to make the choice between Sky and Jack. Now if they can just get him to demorph ...
I think I may run through the business compatibility in my next post, because this was just too entertaining. A bit disappointing, though - Sky could temporarily tolerate Bridge, but Sky and Jack will never work out. ^_~
Best part to me is that I'm a Scorpio. I should just be friends with Sky, Z and I would have great sex but we shouldn't get married, I'm only attracted to Bridge sexually, and Syd and I would drive each other crazy. Sam and I would have 'a seccessful sexual mutual relationship', while me an' Jack would be love at first sight. I think I may be falling in love with Jack just for that knowledge alone. Sorry Bridge; at least you'll always have my eyes on your body!
The italicized section is supposed to be the best pairing for that person.
Sky: September 19th, 2011 Virgo (August 24-September 22)
(Sky and Z) Virgo and Libra love compatibility
Virgo lives according to her/his rules while Libra is absolutely different creature. There are also other discrepancies of characters. Virgo is more interested in money, than in sex. Libra finds it inexcusable. Stay-at-home Virgo resents Libra's socialbutterfly instincts and pursuit of pleasure. Libra's tastes are expensive. Virgo is careful, not to say miserly. Libra finds Virgo fussy, critical, completely inflexible. Virgo can also be a grumbling and tiresome person with dictatorial propensity. Libra will not stand it too long and start searching for support somewhere else. Virgo, is more straight forward about his/her approach to sex and Libra methods of the "dance" can drive him or her up the wall. This is a doubtful connection and extremely complicated marriage.
(Sky and Bridge) Virgo and Sagittarius love compatibility
The Sagittarius' attitude to love drives Virgo out of his/her mind. The Virgos' feeling of safety is vanishing. Sagittarius doesn't try to understand the Virgo's needs. Elsewhere, Virgo looks for order and simplicity whereas Sagittarius looks for excitement and new experiences. Virgo wants a long term commitment; Sagittarius has to be free to roam. Since Virgo is not one to place too great an emphasis on the sexual side of life and does not have the same appetites that Sagittarius has, Sagittarius may well feel that he or she is justified in finding a new lover from time to time which will cause many fights. They will be able to stay together for a week, but not for the rest of the life.
(Sky and Jack) Virgo and Pisces love compatibility
The love is closely connected with the stability, physical needs, intellectual compatibility. The love for the Pisces is a beauty and emotional experiences.

(Sky and Syd) Virgo and Gemini love compatibility
Both are Mercury ruled and have a mental approach to life. But similarity ends there; these two are star-crossed from the beginning. Gemini treats Virgo as a boring creature. There are precise representations about sexual behavior in the Virgo's head. The Gemini will show indecision. After attenuation of passion's fire Virgo will start to grumble and criticize Gemini. Gemini will start searching for entertainment with someone else in his/her turn. Passions run on a low thermostat; their sex life soon turns chilly. This is going to be as short as flash relationship, which has not a chance to last long time.
(Sky and Sam) Virgo and Capricorn love compatibility
Virgo's neat orderly mind meshes well with Capricorn's self-discipline and capacity for hard work. Both take pride in their home, enjoy having a few close friends rather than many acquaintances, and admire each other's intellectual abilities. The Caoricorn's practicality suits the Virgo's accuracy perfectly. There are possible misunderstandings in the field of sex, but they know and feel each other so well, that these misunderstandings don't disturb them. They are both - clever, conservative and patient. This relationship could suffer from lack of romance, as both tend to be a bit reserved in this area. Generally there is a good basis for a long union.
Z - October 12th, 2011 Libra (September 23-October 22)
(Z and Sky) Libra and Virgo love compatibility
Virgo lives according to her/his rules while Libra is absolutely different creature. There are also other discrepancies of characters. Virgo is more interested in money, than in sex.

(Z and Bridge) Libra and Sagittarius love compatibility
The people who were born under the Sagittarius' sign is fond of adventures, so Libra will never be bored with him/her. Sagittarius will remain indifferent to the Libra's adventures. Charming, clever Libra knows how to appeal to Sagittarius's intellectual side and easily keeps Sagittarius intrigued. The main problem is that Sagittarius does not like remaining on one place and aspires to independence. On contrary, one of the most important things for Libra is a reliable partner. If they manage to overcome these distinctions, than there is a quite good chance for a short-term affair as well as for a long-term relations.
(Z and Jack) Libra and Pisces love compatibility
Here there is mutual attraction, but it seldom lasts long as they start off fine, since both are sentimental and affectionate. In a way they are alike: both want to impose their romantic visions on reality. Libra can get along will with mast people, but Pisces is more discriminating, and this is the source of their disagreements. Nothing makes Libra more miserable then a sulky, complaining Pisces. Finally Libra will become tired with a Pisces' desire to rely on someone. As for the Pisces -they can't stand the fact that the Libra has a vast variety of interests. If Libra becomes quarrelsome, Pisces will plunge into despondency. Does it sound sadly? Yes, it does.
(Z and Syd) Libra and Gemini love compatibility
These two air signs are well suited intellectually and every other way. It is difficult for the representatives of both signs to control their passions. If love makes this world spinning around then this couple gives an initial push for it. This is an ideal partnership. Both favor similar changes of interests. In the case of this pair, Libra is the judge and Gemini is the responsive jury in the nuptial courthouse. The combination's intellectual and artistic interests are compatible. Both sides of the Gemini nature will be under stood by the Libra. Both of them are passionate and nobody is too jealous at the same time. They characters have a lot in common , and they perfectly understand each other in bedroom. Libra is highly sexed and their lovemaking will never go lacking. Their sex-life will never be dull. This is a perfect connection; warm and happy married couple.
(Z and Sam) Libra and Capricorn love compatibility
Capricorn has a strong sexual interest in the Libra. Libra in her/his part likes the Capricorn's aspiration to earn money. However, the Libra's propensity for laziness irritates the Capricorn who got used to work without a rest. As a result the Libra will be dissatisfied by a Capricorn's sober practicality. The Capricorn wouldn't like Libra's constant attempts to be center of everyone's attention. Capricorn will even bring his/her work to bed, literally, and it will be up to Libra to distract him/her long enough for sexual relations to take place. A sign such as Libra is not about to put up with this for very long before greener pastures are sought out. There is too big personal incompatibility for a successful marriage.
Bridge - December 21st, 2012 Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
(Bridge and Sky) Sagittarius and Virgo love compatibility
The Sagittarius' attitude to love drives Virgo out of his/her mind. The Virgos' feeling of safety is vanishing. Sagittarius doesn't try to understand the Virgo's needs.

(Bridge and Jack) Sagittarius and Pisces love compatibility
These two ignite in the bedroom, but the compatibility ends there. None of them can give another the feeling of reliability. Independent Sagittarius is too much of a rover to satisfy Pisces's need for attention and devotion. Sagittarius's sharp tongue will hurt Pisces's romantic sensibilities. Pisces wants to get close but is constantly confused and rebuffed by Sagittarius's struggle to free itself of the heavy emotional demands. The Sagittarius thinks that, that he/she is constrained by shyness of the Pisces, and that his/her energy and optimism are slowly drowning in a bog of despondency. This is an extremely difficult connection. The marriage is almost impossible.
(Bridge and Syd) Sagittarius and Gemini love compatibility
These two are opposites in the zodiac and are attracted to each other like magnets. They are both tireless, changeable and not frank enough as lovers. Gemini are inclined to criticize the Sagittarius' behavior in bed. They may be disappointed sexually, since neither is demonstrative-and Gemini is very quick to criticize. There are also some other weak points in their relationships while the strength is that they are both undemanding people. Their affair will probably begin impulsively and will be finished suddenly as well. The marriage can turn out to be quite good but it will require efforts from both of them.
(Bridge and Sam) Sagittarius and Capricorn love compatibility
Unless Sagittarius can clip their wings a bit, there is strong warning against this combination. The Capricorn loves making love in some certain places while the Sagittarius is ready to do it everywhere. The Capricorn is cautious and conservative. He/she always worries about safety. The Sagittarius is a careless and irresponsible player. The Sagittarius will be irritated by the close-fisted Capricorn. Their sex life is very apt to be frustrating for both parties, although Sagittarius will feel this more keenly than Capricorn. This is not the best connection, and will end up as unsuccessful marriage in the future.
Jack - February 22th, 2012 Pisces (February 20th-March 20)
(Jack and Sky) Pisces and Virgo love compatibility
The love is closely connected with the stability, physical needs, intellectual compatibility. The love for the Pisces is a beauty and emotional experiences. The Virgo's cautious, prudent attitude the to sex satisfy unlimited desires of the Pisces . The marriage will probably be unsuccessful.

This is an extremely difficult connection. The marriage is almost impossible.
(Jack and Syd) Pisces and Gemini love compatibility
The passion quotient is high, and so are the problems. The Pisces are too emotional for Gemini. Emotional Pisces for his/her turn is too easily hurt by thoughtless Gemini. Gemini is mischievous and playful, but Pisces is sensitive and takes things to heart. It creates an atmosphere of suspiciousness and mistrust. There can be a feeling of flame between them but the instability in their relations will destroy connection as a result. This is a rather risky connection and unhappy marriage.
(Jack and Sam) Pisces and Capricorn love compatibility
The Pisces will probably try to cheat on the Capricorn, because it is in their character, but the Capricorn is able to cope with it and will be the leader in bed. The Pisces will soon decide to follow him/her. The Pisces are affectionate and sincere creatures and can make the Capricorn's life full of joy. Capricorn provides a ballast for Pisces's drifting dreaminess and supplies the stability that Pisces needs and admires. And there's nothing Capricorn likes better than being admired. These very different people supplement each other emotionally. It is a good combination with complimentary values. They will find comfort in one another providing Capricorn displays his/her emotions at least once in awhile. There is very good forecast for these relationships.
Syd - June 3rd, 2012 Gemini (May 22-June 21)
(Syd and Sky) Gemini and Virgo love compatibility

(Syd and Sam) Gemini and Capricorn love compatibility
They have different sexual natures. The Saturn ruled Capricorn will be at odds with the Mercury ruled Gemini. The Gemini are usually easy-going, amorous people, while the Capricorn are sluggish, devoted, cautious. Capricorn will have a hard time holding the reins on excitable, flirtatious, wayward Gemini. All of Capricorn's patience is needed to deal with a partner it considers to be capricious, extravagant, and scatterbrained. In order for the sexual relationship to be a success, Gemini will have to distract Capricorns mind from his/her career and the problems that go with it. The initial interest can not last very long.
Sam - January 15th, 2018 Capricorn (December 22-January 20)

And look! Something else to post!
Also on a strange note, apparently the word 'thingy' is in the Microsoft Works dictionary. o.O
Mwaha! And the S.P.D. Rangers are about to have their first major catastrophic event. Which, even in the womb, they have the ability to create. Because B Squad is just special like that. -Evil grin-
Comfortable
"Hey, Rose? You seen Nes?" Wes asked, poking his head into the Tech Department.
Rose Ortiz glanced up at him, raising her eyebrows in a look he could see through her protective goggles all the way across the room. "Shouldn't be keeping your own tabs on your wife?"
He sighed, debating whether or not to argue over Vanessa not being his wife, then decided it wasn't worth it. "Have you seen her or no?"
"She was complaining about you again when she left, if that means anything."
"Ah ... " He nodded in understanding. "Baby issues."
"You know, it's sorta freaky how well you understand each other for two people who swear they're not dating," Ethan commented, brushing past him as he went into the lab.
Wes scowled. *Ethan* he could argue with; Rose was just ... scary sometimes. "I could say the same thing about you and Conner."
Ethan glared at him. "We're *not* dating."
"Neither are we," he retorted. "But at least I can say that Vanessa doesn't stay in my room every time she visits S.P.D. and spends half her time following me around until she finally gets bored."
Ethan flushed. "We're still not dating," he insisted.
"But you're something."
"No, we're not! Why does everyone have to label everything? Why can't Conner and I just be friends?" he ranted.
"With benefits?" Rose murmured absently.
Ethan spun around, reaching for something that looked heavy and blunt, and Wes bid a hasty retreat. He was *not* getting in the middle of one of their arguments. The last time it had escalated bad enough for Andrew to call security. T.J.'s nose was broken, Carter had a dislocated shoulder, Zack limped for a week, and Hunter managed to 'accidentally' electrocute all the Grunts *and* Techs.
And Ryan had been nasty to everyone for almost a month. No one had been willing to ask what *he'd* injured.
"Hey, Dustin!" Wes called.
Dustin stopped, turning around to blink at him, then beamed. "Dude, Wes! What's up, man?"
"Thanks for the M&Ms," he told him with a grin.
Somehow Dustin's smile seemed to grow even wider. "Easter's coming, Dude. We gotta stock up on Tori Colors while we can," he told him seriously.
Wes shook his head, amused. "I'll take your word for it. You seen Nes?"
Dustin frowned, scratching his head for a moment. "Uh ... I think I saw her somewhere around DVD. She was taking a look at that project I had. The robot dog thing?"
Wes smiled, inwardly wondering why in the world anyone would want a robot dog. But with Dustin, he'd found it was better not to try and understand his reasoning. "So she's in there?"
"Uh, no Dude. At least, I don't think so." He hesitated. "I left 'cause Carlos and Ronny were, uh ... " He shifted uncomfortably. "'Talking'."
Wes raised his eyebrows; he could *hear* the quotation marks in that sentence. "'Talking'?"
" ... Yeah. Um, try with the Floaters. She might have gone that way. Just uh, try and keep away from the main Drill Sarge office."
He looked at him oddly.
Dustin sighed, glancing around the hallway for anyone that might overhear. "Jason and Taylor are uh, talking too. And they're sorta loud."
He stared.
"Later!" Dustin said quickly, hurrying down the hall.
After a minute, Wes slowly shook his head. He *really* didn't think he'd needed to know that.
He'd been a member of S.P.D. for about two months now. It had been hard to adjust, but he was beginning to start enjoying himself here. There was always something to do, and some sort of crazy situation or rumor running around.
The Rumor Mill was a almost entirely a product of the Ambassadors, Kimberly, Zhane, Mack, and Tyzonn, although Zack had been seen snickering with them more than once. If there was anything to know or anyone having some sort of development in their love life, the Rumor Mill knew about it. Their current topic, now that the disbelief of that Taylor had *finally* cornered Jason long enough to ask him out - he'd had to listen to her debate over it for *weeks* - was over, was all the flirting between Carlos and Ronnie. Something they all feared, after the last time the pair had gotten into a fierce race while test driving the newest S.P.D. - issued jeeps. Carlos was normally a pretty calm and amiable guy, but something about Ronnie brought out a competitive streak in him no one had realized he had.
For some reason, some of the S.P.D. former Ranger crew had decided that they need a morale committee, or 'The Happy People' - Dustin *really* needed to stop nicknaming everything. Zhane apparently didn't have enough to do between his duties as an Ambassador and the Rumor Mill, so he'd recruited Dustin, Rocky, Dax, and Chip to help keep everyone's spirits high. Any pranks, strange decorations, or random gifts were all credited to The Happy People. They were the ones who had somehow managed to sneak into his room and redecorate it in enough shades of red and white you could barely see any of the gray anymore - not that he minded that one so much. They put up holiday decorations, re - labeled doorways, hid silly string in strange places, spray - painted washable graffiti, and whatever else they could come up with. The happy face posters they'd put up all over the place seemed to be their symbol. Their most recent protect had been to pass around M&Ms for Easter - Ranger Color specific, of course.
Wes now found himself with friends all over the place. He had Taylor when he needed someone to complain with, Carter, Ryan, Andros, or Jason if he wanted to spar and work off some steam. Karone had taught him a lot about the galaxy he lived in, let alone the ones beyond them whenever he visited her. All of the Docs, Aisha, Ashley, and more recently Katherine, led by Dana, mothered him the moment they got the chance. Surprisingly he'd found a kindred spirit in Mack Hartford, who was able to complain heartily with him about overprotective wealthy fathers while his own father Andrew pretended to ignore them in the background. And of course Vanessa, his confidant and best friend. Anywhere he went, there was now someone to laugh and talk with, someone to tease and make himself smile in return. S.P.D. was already more than just a job; it was a family.
And the more he thought about it that way, the more he kinda liked it.
"Nes! There you are!" he called in relief. "I've been looking all over for you!"
Vanessa gave him another dark look. "I'm bloated, I'm tired, and I can't get comfortable no matter what I do. And it's all your fault. Choose your next words wisely: what the hell do you want?"
He held up his hands in surrender. "I was trying to answer the memo you sent me, but I'm still having trouble with the e - mail voice - message system thingy, so I figured I'd just track you down in person."
She rolled her eyes. "Honestly Wes, it's not that complicated. You select message mode, find the person you want to send it to in the database, label it public or private, press record, look at the screen, and say your message."
"I feel like I'm talking to myself whenever I do that," he complained. "And half the time I hit the wrong button instead of record, so I really *am* talking to myself. And I never get that public/private thing right."
She sighed. "We're getting ready to do the first tests for the Morpher Project next week. I thought you might like to be there. Are you coming or not?"
He blinked. "Sure," he told her, feeling flattered. The first testing for S.P.D.'s new morphers? That was a historic event. "Are you sure I have enough seniority to be there?" he asked after a pause.
She laughed at him. "Wes, it's not anything official. Our department and the Awesome Trio are just getting together for a test run. Dustin's showing up for any mechanical issues, and we had to promise Cruger we'd get one of the doctors and a couple of people from security. You can pretend you're working with security for the day; you've got the experience," she added with a teasing grin.
He made a face at her, secretly pleased that he'd been able to cheer her up. The pregnancy had been unexpected and unplanned, and she'd admitted to having trouble dealing with it at times. "Just for that I outta bring Hunter or Blake in with me, since you're going to have Ethan and Rose in the same room again."
"No!" she said sharply. "No one with any electrical abilities is setting foot in that room.
He grinned. "You know they'd take offense if they heard you call it 'electrical'."
"Good for them. I'm already unhappy about Blue Brat and Perfect Pink being in a room together. Especially with His Royal Highness, the all - mighty Cam technically in charge of everything."
He gave her an amused look. "You know, it almost sounds like you hate everyone who works on the technology floor."
"You know me better than that by now," she pointed out with a humph.
He did; they drove her crazy, but Vanessa only complained about the people she loved and respected most.
Which said a lot about their own relationship when he thought about it.
I think I may run through the business compatibility in my next post, because this was just too entertaining. A bit disappointing, though - Sky could temporarily tolerate Bridge, but Sky and Jack will never work out. ^_~
Best part to me is that I'm a Scorpio. I should just be friends with Sky, Z and I would have great sex but we shouldn't get married, I'm only attracted to Bridge sexually, and Syd and I would drive each other crazy. Sam and I would have 'a seccessful sexual mutual relationship', while me an' Jack would be love at first sight. I think I may be falling in love with Jack just for that knowledge alone. Sorry Bridge; at least you'll always have my eyes on your body!
The italicized section is supposed to be the best pairing for that person.
Sky: September 19th, 2011 Virgo (August 24-September 22)
(Sky and Z) Virgo and Libra love compatibility
Virgo lives according to her/his rules while Libra is absolutely different creature. There are also other discrepancies of characters. Virgo is more interested in money, than in sex. Libra finds it inexcusable. Stay-at-home Virgo resents Libra's socialbutterfly instincts and pursuit of pleasure. Libra's tastes are expensive. Virgo is careful, not to say miserly. Libra finds Virgo fussy, critical, completely inflexible. Virgo can also be a grumbling and tiresome person with dictatorial propensity. Libra will not stand it too long and start searching for support somewhere else. Virgo, is more straight forward about his/her approach to sex and Libra methods of the "dance" can drive him or her up the wall. This is a doubtful connection and extremely complicated marriage.
(Sky and Bridge) Virgo and Sagittarius love compatibility
The Sagittarius' attitude to love drives Virgo out of his/her mind. The Virgos' feeling of safety is vanishing. Sagittarius doesn't try to understand the Virgo's needs. Elsewhere, Virgo looks for order and simplicity whereas Sagittarius looks for excitement and new experiences. Virgo wants a long term commitment; Sagittarius has to be free to roam. Since Virgo is not one to place too great an emphasis on the sexual side of life and does not have the same appetites that Sagittarius has, Sagittarius may well feel that he or she is justified in finding a new lover from time to time which will cause many fights. They will be able to stay together for a week, but not for the rest of the life.
(Sky and Jack) Virgo and Pisces love compatibility
The love is closely connected with the stability, physical needs, intellectual compatibility. The love for the Pisces is a beauty and emotional experiences. The Virgo's cautious, prudent attitude the to sex doesn't satisfy unlimited desires of the Pisces . The marriage will probably be unsuccessful.
(Sky and Syd) Virgo and Gemini love compatibility
Both are Mercury ruled and have a mental approach to life. But similarity ends there; these two are star-crossed from the beginning. Gemini treats Virgo as a boring creature. There are precise representations about sexual behavior in the Virgo's head. The Gemini will show indecision. After attenuation of passion's fire Virgo will start to grumble and criticize Gemini. Gemini will start searching for entertainment with someone else in his/her turn. Passions run on a low thermostat; their sex life soon turns chilly. This is going to be as short as flash relationship, which has not a chance to last long time.
(Sky and Sam) Virgo and Capricorn love compatibility
Virgo's neat orderly mind meshes well with Capricorn's self-discipline and capacity for hard work. Both take pride in their home, enjoy having a few close friends rather than many acquaintances, and admire each other's intellectual abilities. The Caoricorn's practicality suits the Virgo's accuracy perfectly. There are possible misunderstandings in the field of sex, but they know and feel each other so well, that these misunderstandings don't disturb them. They are both - clever, conservative and patient. This relationship could suffer from lack of romance, as both tend to be a bit reserved in this area. Generally there is a good basis for a long union.

Bridge - December 21st, 2012 Sagittarius (November 22-December 21)
(Bridge and Sky) Sagittarius and Virgo love compatibility
The Sagittarius' attitude to love drives Virgo out of his/her mind. The Virgos' feeling of safety is vanishing. Sagittarius doesn't try to understand the Virgo's needs. Elsewhere, Virgo looks for order and simplicity whereas Sagittarius looks for excitement and new experiences. Virgo wants a long term commitment; Sagittarius has to be free to roam. Since Virgo is not one to place too great an emphasis on the sexual side of life and does not have the same appetites that Sagittarius has, Sagittarius may well feel that he or she is justified in finding a new lover from time to time which will cause many fights. They will be able to stay together for a week, but not for the rest of the life.

Syd - June 3rd, 2012 Gemini (May 22-June 21)
(Syd and Sky) Gemini and Virgo love compatibility
Both are Mercury ruled and have a mental approach to life. But similarity ends there; these two are star-crossed from the beginning. Gemini treats Virgo as a boring creature.

Gemini will start searching for entertainment with someone else in his/her turn. Passions run on a low thermostat; their sex life soon turns chilly.

They have different sexual natures. The Saturn ruled Capricorn will be at odds with the Mercury ruled Gemini. The Gemini are usually easy-going, amorous people, while the Capricorn are sluggish, devoted, cautious. Capricorn will have a hard time holding the reins on excitable, flirtatious, wayward Gemini. All of Capricorn's patience is needed to deal with a partner it considers to be capricious, extravagant, and scatterbrained.

(Sam and Sky) Capricorn and Virgo love compatibility

And look! Something else to post!
Also on a strange note, apparently the word 'thingy' is in the Microsoft Works dictionary. o.O
Mwaha! And the S.P.D. Rangers are about to have their first major catastrophic event. Which, even in the womb, they have the ability to create. Because B Squad is just special like that. -Evil grin-
Comfortable
"Hey, Rose? You seen Nes?" Wes asked, poking his head into the Tech Department.
Rose Ortiz glanced up at him, raising her eyebrows in a look he could see through her protective goggles all the way across the room. "Shouldn't be keeping your own tabs on your wife?"
He sighed, debating whether or not to argue over Vanessa not being his wife, then decided it wasn't worth it. "Have you seen her or no?"
"She was complaining about you again when she left, if that means anything."
"Ah ... " He nodded in understanding. "Baby issues."
"You know, it's sorta freaky how well you understand each other for two people who swear they're not dating," Ethan commented, brushing past him as he went into the lab.
Wes scowled. *Ethan* he could argue with; Rose was just ... scary sometimes. "I could say the same thing about you and Conner."
Ethan glared at him. "We're *not* dating."
"Neither are we," he retorted. "But at least I can say that Vanessa doesn't stay in my room every time she visits S.P.D. and spends half her time following me around until she finally gets bored."
Ethan flushed. "We're still not dating," he insisted.
"But you're something."
"No, we're not! Why does everyone have to label everything? Why can't Conner and I just be friends?" he ranted.
"With benefits?" Rose murmured absently.
Ethan spun around, reaching for something that looked heavy and blunt, and Wes bid a hasty retreat. He was *not* getting in the middle of one of their arguments. The last time it had escalated bad enough for Andrew to call security. T.J.'s nose was broken, Carter had a dislocated shoulder, Zack limped for a week, and Hunter managed to 'accidentally' electrocute all the Grunts *and* Techs.
And Ryan had been nasty to everyone for almost a month. No one had been willing to ask what *he'd* injured.
"Hey, Dustin!" Wes called.
Dustin stopped, turning around to blink at him, then beamed. "Dude, Wes! What's up, man?"
"Thanks for the M&Ms," he told him with a grin.
Somehow Dustin's smile seemed to grow even wider. "Easter's coming, Dude. We gotta stock up on Tori Colors while we can," he told him seriously.
Wes shook his head, amused. "I'll take your word for it. You seen Nes?"
Dustin frowned, scratching his head for a moment. "Uh ... I think I saw her somewhere around DVD. She was taking a look at that project I had. The robot dog thing?"
Wes smiled, inwardly wondering why in the world anyone would want a robot dog. But with Dustin, he'd found it was better not to try and understand his reasoning. "So she's in there?"
"Uh, no Dude. At least, I don't think so." He hesitated. "I left 'cause Carlos and Ronny were, uh ... " He shifted uncomfortably. "'Talking'."
Wes raised his eyebrows; he could *hear* the quotation marks in that sentence. "'Talking'?"
" ... Yeah. Um, try with the Floaters. She might have gone that way. Just uh, try and keep away from the main Drill Sarge office."
He looked at him oddly.
Dustin sighed, glancing around the hallway for anyone that might overhear. "Jason and Taylor are uh, talking too. And they're sorta loud."
He stared.
"Later!" Dustin said quickly, hurrying down the hall.
After a minute, Wes slowly shook his head. He *really* didn't think he'd needed to know that.
He'd been a member of S.P.D. for about two months now. It had been hard to adjust, but he was beginning to start enjoying himself here. There was always something to do, and some sort of crazy situation or rumor running around.
The Rumor Mill was a almost entirely a product of the Ambassadors, Kimberly, Zhane, Mack, and Tyzonn, although Zack had been seen snickering with them more than once. If there was anything to know or anyone having some sort of development in their love life, the Rumor Mill knew about it. Their current topic, now that the disbelief of that Taylor had *finally* cornered Jason long enough to ask him out - he'd had to listen to her debate over it for *weeks* - was over, was all the flirting between Carlos and Ronnie. Something they all feared, after the last time the pair had gotten into a fierce race while test driving the newest S.P.D. - issued jeeps. Carlos was normally a pretty calm and amiable guy, but something about Ronnie brought out a competitive streak in him no one had realized he had.
For some reason, some of the S.P.D. former Ranger crew had decided that they need a morale committee, or 'The Happy People' - Dustin *really* needed to stop nicknaming everything. Zhane apparently didn't have enough to do between his duties as an Ambassador and the Rumor Mill, so he'd recruited Dustin, Rocky, Dax, and Chip to help keep everyone's spirits high. Any pranks, strange decorations, or random gifts were all credited to The Happy People. They were the ones who had somehow managed to sneak into his room and redecorate it in enough shades of red and white you could barely see any of the gray anymore - not that he minded that one so much. They put up holiday decorations, re - labeled doorways, hid silly string in strange places, spray - painted washable graffiti, and whatever else they could come up with. The happy face posters they'd put up all over the place seemed to be their symbol. Their most recent protect had been to pass around M&Ms for Easter - Ranger Color specific, of course.
Wes now found himself with friends all over the place. He had Taylor when he needed someone to complain with, Carter, Ryan, Andros, or Jason if he wanted to spar and work off some steam. Karone had taught him a lot about the galaxy he lived in, let alone the ones beyond them whenever he visited her. All of the Docs, Aisha, Ashley, and more recently Katherine, led by Dana, mothered him the moment they got the chance. Surprisingly he'd found a kindred spirit in Mack Hartford, who was able to complain heartily with him about overprotective wealthy fathers while his own father Andrew pretended to ignore them in the background. And of course Vanessa, his confidant and best friend. Anywhere he went, there was now someone to laugh and talk with, someone to tease and make himself smile in return. S.P.D. was already more than just a job; it was a family.
And the more he thought about it that way, the more he kinda liked it.
"Nes! There you are!" he called in relief. "I've been looking all over for you!"
Vanessa gave him another dark look. "I'm bloated, I'm tired, and I can't get comfortable no matter what I do. And it's all your fault. Choose your next words wisely: what the hell do you want?"
He held up his hands in surrender. "I was trying to answer the memo you sent me, but I'm still having trouble with the e - mail voice - message system thingy, so I figured I'd just track you down in person."
She rolled her eyes. "Honestly Wes, it's not that complicated. You select message mode, find the person you want to send it to in the database, label it public or private, press record, look at the screen, and say your message."
"I feel like I'm talking to myself whenever I do that," he complained. "And half the time I hit the wrong button instead of record, so I really *am* talking to myself. And I never get that public/private thing right."
She sighed. "We're getting ready to do the first tests for the Morpher Project next week. I thought you might like to be there. Are you coming or not?"
He blinked. "Sure," he told her, feeling flattered. The first testing for S.P.D.'s new morphers? That was a historic event. "Are you sure I have enough seniority to be there?" he asked after a pause.
She laughed at him. "Wes, it's not anything official. Our department and the Awesome Trio are just getting together for a test run. Dustin's showing up for any mechanical issues, and we had to promise Cruger we'd get one of the doctors and a couple of people from security. You can pretend you're working with security for the day; you've got the experience," she added with a teasing grin.
He made a face at her, secretly pleased that he'd been able to cheer her up. The pregnancy had been unexpected and unplanned, and she'd admitted to having trouble dealing with it at times. "Just for that I outta bring Hunter or Blake in with me, since you're going to have Ethan and Rose in the same room again."
"No!" she said sharply. "No one with any electrical abilities is setting foot in that room.
He grinned. "You know they'd take offense if they heard you call it 'electrical'."
"Good for them. I'm already unhappy about Blue Brat and Perfect Pink being in a room together. Especially with His Royal Highness, the all - mighty Cam technically in charge of everything."
He gave her an amused look. "You know, it almost sounds like you hate everyone who works on the technology floor."
"You know me better than that by now," she pointed out with a humph.
He did; they drove her crazy, but Vanessa only complained about the people she loved and respected most.
Which said a lot about their own relationship when he thought about it.
