First Kiss

"You're going to be no use to anyone if you continue to stay up until 2 in the morning working." Ashley reprimanded, placing an hand on Andros's shoulder.

The striped-hair man leaned into her touch, before recoiling and starting to type again. He really needed to finish scanning the Quinyla system for any information on Zordon. The wizard was depending on them to save him.

"C'mon Andros, Zordon will be there in the morn-"

"That's just the thing! We don't know if Zordon will be alive tomorrow, much less if Dark Specter will keep him in the same location! We need to keep searching for him!" The Red Ranger half-shouted harshly.

He didn't care if he looked like the bad guy. He sometimes wondered if the former Turbo Rangers understood how serious their situation really was. How at anytime, something could happen.

If the Alliance of Evil killed Zordon...

Andros warily turned and looked at Ashely's face, expecting it to be confused and hurt, but was surprised when it showed a rather calculating look.

Pursing her lips, Ashley locked eyes with Andros. Her chocolate eyes showed tons of determination and passion. Passion for what, he wasn't sure.

"That may be true. Hey, Zordon might very well be dead already for all we know, and something else is delaying the Alliance of Evil instead. But if we do find Zordon, we're all going to need to be at full strength to save him. There is no way that will happen if you insist on working yourself to death. You're human Andros, not a robot."

"As you so kindly pointed out." Andros chuckled, recalling their first meeting.

Ashley blushed at the memory, but regained her serious gaze. Sighing, Andros pressed a few keys on the control panel. Soon enough, the map powered down, and Andros turned around.

He had expected Ashley to look appeased, maybe even amused at him. What he hadn't expected, was her to softly press her lips to his cheek.

"Now, was it so hard to actually listen to your friends?" She asked coyly before walking away. Andros watched her leave, her hips swinging more than they usually did.

Shaking his head, he grabbed a few things and made his way to his room. The antics of his teammates had always amused him, but what Ashely did confused him.

She was something that he couldn't predict, and she was always making him second guess himself. Zhane said that was a good thing, that he needed someone to remove the stick from his butt.

Zhane had been forced to do guard duty with Carlos because of that, to his dismay. Carlos had a reputation for falling asleep on guard duty. And he was a cuddler.

Chuckling, Andros entered his room. The spartan walls made him sigh, and he soon took off his jacket and collapsed onto the bed. Ashley had been right, he was tired.

And that frustrated him more than anything.

The Yellow Ranger was unsettling, to be blunt. She was something that was so inconsistent and random, especially for the seemingly innocent package.

Ashley truly was like a puzzle to him. One so baffling, that Andros was actually considering giving up on how to figure her out.

But, Andros couldn't help but to try and put all the pieces together, and solve the puzzle. Something about her, made him want to try. He would keep trying until the ungodly hours of the day if he had to.

Pressing his fingers to his cheek, Andros closed his eyes and started to doze off. While searching, there would be time to find out everything he could about Ashley. He could relax for now.

Before falling asleep, one thought ran through Andros's head: If down the road there are more nights like tonight, then it's worth it.

A/N: First drabble down~! I see a lot of these types of fics, but they never seem to finish. I I thought I would try and do something like that for Power Rangers, while brushing up on my writing. First real time writing something that wasn't slash, so I hope it wasn't too bad ^^"
