<P>Andros runs one final scan of the engines before going to the bridge to put
away his pad. When he arrived he finds Ashley with her head on her bent hand and
the other had stretched out and grasping a different pad. Ashley’s eyes were
closed and her short, blond-brown hair was shifted to her left. Andros smiled
and lifts her into his arms from her chair after putting both of their pads on a
different console. He first goes to her quarters and finds (to both his dismay
and happiness) that it’s locked. Andros then carries her to his quarters and
puts her gently on his bed. He removes Ashley’s boots from her feet and her
gray flight jacket uniform. Andros tucks her in, placing his blanket over her.
He smiles to himself and kissed her forehead before going out. He comes back in
a few hours later and climbs into bed with her and falls asleep with a contented
smile on his face.</P>
<p><center>~*~</center></p>
<P>Andros awakens when he heard a soft moan from beside him and felt someone’s
head in his arms. He grows concerned and remembers what had happened last night
with a small smile. He gets up from his bed with the smile still on his face.</P>
<P>“Deca,†he called softly.</P>
<P>“Yes Andros,†the soft famine voice of the ship asked.</P>
<P>“Are the others awake?â€</P>
<P>“No Andros,†Deca replied. “Would you like me to wake them?â€</P>
<P>“No Deca and don’t disturb Ashley†Andros said as he heads for the
showers. After he showered he proceeded toward the mess room with his jacket in
hand. He goes to the Synthetron and gets his breakfast. Andros sits down just as
the others started to arrive.</P>
<P>“Morning T.J.†Andros said as T.J. came in, his eyes semi-opened. The
young man grunts his reply. T.J. pressed a button and sits down on the bench
with a hard thump as Carlos comes in with his head down and his eyes closed.</P>
<P>“Morning Carlos.†Carlos does the same as T.J. and lands beside T.J., who
had moved over to allow him to sit next to him on the bench while at the same
time dumping ketchup all over his food.</P>
<P>“Morning Zhane.†Andros said as Zhane comes tumbling in tripping over his
own two feet. Zhane gives him a grunt of acknowledgement after he yawns. Then,
his best friend sits down across from him and yawns again. Andros takes T.J.’s
hadn’t been eaten muffin and threw it in Zhane’s mouth.</P>
<P>“Hey!†Zhane exclaimed, well actually he said “mmph!†due to the
muffin in his mouth. Both T.J. and Carlos looked up to see what the light skin
boy was saying and chuckled. Zhane bit down on the muffin, chewed, and swallowed
it.</P>
<P>“That was not funny.†Zhane scowled. Andros shrugs his shoulders and
smiles. “I’ll get you later.†The four boys continue eating. Ashley comes
bounding in, happily, with Cassie beside her, both having big grins on their
faces. Carlos took one look at the two girls and scowls, grumbling. “I don’t
know what you girls are so happy about, it’s time for school again!†The two
girls laughed. Ashley sits beside Andros grinning like what on Earth was called
a Cheshire cat.</P>
<P>“Of course you won’t Carlos!†Cassie teased, “You really aren’t the
morning type.†Then, Cassie’s eyes lit up, “I know! Why don’t you try
sleeping in the morning and wake up <I>grumpy</I> at night!â€</P>
<P>“Shut your trap Cassie†Cassie laughs and pops down next to Ashley.</P>
<p><center>~*~</center></p>
<P>Andros finished the last of his breakfast, gets up, and heads for the Bridge
to check on the ship. The now happy group of Earth Rangers arrives on the bridge
and helps him out. Afterwards, they head over to the semi-deck for their regular
Ranger morning workout.</P>
<P>“That was a great workout!†T.J. said as they powered down.</P>
<P>“I think I should pump up the workout to a tougher level,†Andros said
thoughtfully.</P>
<P>“Don’t Andros!†Zhane protested with horror. “This is suppose to be a
‘light workout’ so we can conserve our energy for the monsters!â€</P>
<P>“We must Zhane, it might prepare us.†Andros pointed out, “I’m going
to make these programs think like the other monsters we had battled before.â€</P>
<P>“But—“</P>
<P>“Andros’s right Zhane.†T.J. said “It could be useful for us.â€</P>
<P>“Alright, Alright!†Zhane said throwing his hands up in surrender.</P>
<P>* * *</P>
<P>The group then left the semi-deck to shower and change into their civilian
clothes. Andros tugged at his new red shirt he had gotten and made his morpher
disappear. He placed his Earth money into his semi-baggy jeans and left with the
other Rangers, after giving Alpha a few instructions of course, to school.</P>
<P>Andros walks with his fellow rangers to class then leaves with Zhane to see a
movie. The two wandered around town having fun and goes back to Angel Grove High
to “pick-up†their friends. Later, they all continue on to the park, got
their homework done (both Andros and Zhane couldn’t help themselves, they had
to help their fellow Rangers with their homework, and tease them about their ‘primitive’
homework), and went back to the ship. Andros tells them that they need to go to
KO-35 to refill the antidote box. Ashley stays behind saying that she had to go
help Adelle today. Andros nodded and the group left for KO-35 leaving Ashley on
Earth.</P>
<P>Andros had a bad feeling about leaving Ashley behind but he shrugs it off
saying to himself. “Ashley can take care of herself.†But that feeling did
not leave his mind no matter how many times he tells himself that. He pushed
away the thought when they arrived on his home planet. But the alarm in his head
refuses to be ignored.</P>
<p><center>~*~</center></p>
<P>Ashley goes to help Adelle unload her Surf Spot van, the van that was taken
by the thieves but than returned with Andros’s persuading. Ever since that
experience they’ve all decide to take the time for precaution (meaning that
they keep their windows tightly locked whenever they drive somewhere).</P>
<P>When the day was over Ashley was paid for her help and she walked to her
house taking the shortcut through the park. Suddenly, Quantrons appeared! Ashley
quickly morphs and battles the Quantrons alone. They prove to be too many for
her so she is quickly weakened. The Quantrons kicked her and she tumbles head
over heals dropping her morpher, causing her to demorph! Ashley unconsciously
reached for her communicator in her pocket that she didn’t know was there and
got hit on her head and blackness descended on her. Andros and the others
appeared, morphed and ready. Andros was busy with his Quantrons, but when they
left he sees Ashley getting grabbed by a monster.</P>
<P>“Ashley!!!†Andros yelled, his rage building up. He gets his Astroblaster
out and fires once not wanting to risk hitting Ashley. The monster take a direct
hit.</P>
<P>“I’ll be back Rangers!†The monster growled and disappears with Ashley.</P>
<P>“NOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!†Andros screamed panicking as he ran toward
the spot where they were. “I’ll find you Ashley! I promise I will!†he
said to assure both himself and Ashley before they teleported to the bridge.</P>
<P>“Alpha, Can you see if you get Ashley’s location?†Andros asked as soon
as he arrived on the bridge.</P>
<P>“I’m sorry Andros but I lost her signal, I can’t find it!†Alpha said
in a frustrated and sorrowful tone of voice.</P>
<P>“It’s okay Alpha, continue scanning.†Zhane said reassuring the little
robot. Then, Deca said.</P>
<P>“Rangers! I am receiving an incoming transmission.â€</P>
<P>“On screen!†Andros commanded</P>
<P>“Rangers!†Growled the monster that had taken Ashley. “I am Honorlord;
I have who you want and I am going to take her to Astronama!â€</P>
<P>“Let her go Honorlord!†Andros snapped with anguish as Honorlord grabs a
tied up and unconscious Ashley toward the screen.</P>
<P>“Ahh, I will, for an exchange of one of you, for I do not like turning in
girls.â€</P>
<P>“And if we don’t?!†Carlos snarled with bitter hatred.</P>
<P>“Then I will give her a quick and honorable death.†Honorlord said with
an almost dreamy smile. “If you, however, do comply to my orders, meet me at
the park for an exchange within twenty-four hours, starting at the end of this
transmission, alone!†Then, the transmission ended with Andros’s face
turning red with rage.</P>
<p><center>~*~</center></p>
<P>Andros stomps off the Bridge and toward his room. He lies trying to sleep and
think at the same time. Andros slowly began to fall asleep.</P>
<I>
<P align="CENTER">It’s not that I can’t live without you
<BR>It’s just that I don’t even want to try
<BR>Every night I dream about you
<BR>Ever since the day we said good-bye
<BR>If I wasn’t such a fool Right now I’d be holding you
<BR>There’s nothin’ that I wouldn’t do
<BR>Baby if I only knew
<BR>The words to say The road to Take
<BR>To find a way back to your heart
<BR>What can I do To get to you
<BR>And find a way back to your heart</P>
</I>
<P>In his dream he sees Ashley standing in the corner dusty from the explosion
at the Command Center, her civilian clothes a bit torn, and on her face was the
expression of confusion and disbelief when she sees him, when he gotten back to
the Astromegaship after spying on Dark Specter.</P>
<I>
<P align="CENTER">I don’t know how it got so crazy
<BR>But I’ll do anything to set things right
<BR>‘Cause your love is so amazing
<BR>Baby you’re the best thing in my life
<BR>Let me prove my love is real
<BR>And made you feel the way I feel
<BR>I promise I would give the world
<BR>If only you would tell me girl
<BR>The words to say The road to take
<BR>To find a way back to your heart
<BR>What can I do To get to you
<BR>And find a way back to your heart</P>
</I>
<P>He remembers being poked and Ashley tells him that he was human. He regrets
giving an almost snappish response to her. He smiles when Ashley tries to
impress him during their first introduction.</P>
<P>Down at Angle Grove Park a boy, a young man, and a young lady walks on a
stroll talking. Both males then left the young lady to continue walking while
they head over to the boy’s house. The young lady bids them goodbye and trips
over something a few minutes later. She picks up the item, examines it, and her
eyes widened. Pocketing the item she heads back the way she came.</P>
<I>
<P align="CENTER">Give me one more chance, to give my love to you
<BR>‘Cause no one on this earth loves you like I do, tell me
<BR>The words to say The road to take
<BR>To find a way back to your heart
<BR>What can I do to get to you
<BR>And find a way back to your heart</P>
</I>
<P>Andros remembers her looking at him a bit bashfully and he lays her hand on
her shoulder blurting out, asking, if she would go out with him to see Hailey’s
Comet and the spark in her eyes when she heard it.</P>
<I>
<P align="CENTER">I turn back time To make you mine
<BR>And find a way back to your heart
<BR>I beg and plead Fall to my knees
<BR>To find a way back to your heart
<BR>The words to say The road to take
<BR>To find a way back to your heart
<BR>What can I do to get to you
<BR>And find a way back to your heart</P>
</I>
<P>Andros woke up from his dream and (although he was alone) rubbed his face
trying to hold back his tears but to no avail. And for the first time since his
sister, Karone, was kidnapped, he cried.</P>
