If you're wondering what No Man's Land is, it's the piece of land that separates Sydney's and Garrett's property. No one owns it so it's called No Man's Land. Sydney and Garrett have always gone there to meet in secret, a place where their parents couldn't see them. Until Mayor Rutledge had a wall built there. Garrett and Sydney were both stunned and upset. Soon after though, Garrett carved a small hole in the wall so they could still meet. But after that, when they met, it was for business, not pleasure.
Swans Crossing has had its share of romances. Some are from the past, some are brand new. We watched some of them develop right before our eyes. Some of them were friendships that blossomed into loves. Some are just good friendships. Some of them never really happened, only in someone's mind. Sydney & Garrett - They have a love-hate relationship. Some would call them soulmates because they are almost the same. They would both stop at nothing to get what they want. They have sort of a Romeo & Juliet romance because their parents hate each other and forbid them to be together. Mila & Garrett - Garrett is Mila's first real boyfriend. It's new and exciting, until she learns about the deal. After that, all Garrett wants is Mila and he uses Sydney to get her. Glory & J.T. - The only couple on Swans Crossing who have been together since the beginning and have stayed together. They have a great relationship and even admitted they loved each other. Callie & Jimmy - My favorite couple on the show, they've had a thing for each other since the first time they saw each other. They just have been fighting ever since that they haven't had time to follow their hearts. Luckily, towards the end of the series, Jimmy and Callie stop fighting and get close and almost kiss about 4 or 5 times. Jimmy & Sophia - Sophia is the older woman. That's the only thing Jimmy likes about her. They never truly had a relationship that we know of but Sophia did get in the way of Jimmy and Callie more than once. Callie & Saja - Strictly friends, Saja was the second person in Swans Crossing to set eyes on Callie. He has secretly had a crush on her since then, but Callie only has eyes for Jimmy. Sandy & Saja - They never noticed each other until one night when they met each other walking home. Saja helped Sandy with a line for a song. This was close to the end of the series so we never got to see much of a romance develop between them. Sandy & Owen - They've been making music together ever since they were kids. Sandy's always had a crush on Owen but he was always too into his music to notice her. Owen & Mila - Strictly a figment of Owen's imagination. Mila thinks of him as a good friend. Owen thinks of Mila as his fantasy girl-always having dreams about her. Jimmy & Nancy - I never truly understood this relationship. We know that in the sixth grade, they went out but Nancy jilted him. Nancy still has feelings for Jimmy though. She even had a strange daydream about her making his life more organized. Jimmy never even looks at Nancy. Neil & Glory - Of course, they're friends, with J.T. being his partner and all. Neil has said that he hates girls and could never like one. But I have a strange feeling that Neil secretly liked Glory all along. Nothing ever happened between them, though. J.T. & Mila - We thought J.T. only had eyes for Glory but in the last few episodes, J.T. and Mila start spending some time together because they are both so interested in poetry. Mila likes Chandler for his poetry, which was really J.T.'s poetry so in a way, Mila really likes J.T.
During the second week of the series, Sydney and Garrett had to find a way to be together without their parents knowing. Garrett thought up the idea of using Mila as a decoy. Whenever Mila was around, Garrett and Sydney could be together. This worked fine until Sydney went back on her end of the deal. Then things got ugly! Here's the deal: 1. I will work very hard to make Mila like me. 2. I promise to dance with Mila, but not too close. 3. I will never do anything with Mila that Sydney would not like. 4. I will always like Sydney. 5. Mila will never suspect I am seeing her just so I can secretly be with Sydney when the three of us are around. 6. I agree to go to the movies, but no love stories. 7. I agree to go horseback riding, but only on separate horses. 8. I agree to hand-holding, but no other kind of touching. 9. I also agree to picnics but only within public view. 10. 11.On one condition, Sydney had to promise to stand up to her mother and be seen with Garrett when the time came.
