Disclaimer: The Power Ranger's do not belong to me; to be actual truthful I don't even remember whom they belong to anymore. Oh well, I just gotten into the mood to write a bit about them, so I am not necessary concern about details. I just write, to entertain my friend Jade, and other people, and fans.

Relationship: Andros/Zhane relationship, it isn't graphic to tell you the bloody truth. However, if you cannot handle these types of relationship, please avoid at all cost, and don't take it out on me.

Note: Another thing, I am not really following any continuum of PR, in fact most of the continuum has been screwed with so much, that I am not really concern about order that much like I use to be. -_- Not to mention minor details and all those things, I am more into making some dreams coming true. I also don't really care about pairing, I can write any sort of pairing even canon. So I don't really feel anything about the groups of screaming people about people have to be paired with whom. That is all I have to say, and that is that onto the story.

Secrets Held Series
Chapter 1
Holding Silver Hope

Saving a life, is something that one must do, and yet, to me the most precious life then my own is someone I love. I don't regret it one bit, for he is part of me as I am a part of him. ~ Zhane the Silver Astro Ranger

Andros! Andros! Laughter sounded around the room of his mind mentally. Friends forever? The whispers of words crept into his subconscious, and into his mental realm. Love you, Andros. The whispers kept on creeping forward more insistent, reminding prompting the Red Astro Ranger awake, sweat trailed down his face, mingling with his tears.

Face red, while scrunched up in pain, he whimpered like a wounded animal, while hugging onto a stuff animal, in the shape of a dolphin in human size, and rather a amazing shade of silver. It glisten in the room by the star filled night, heart beating in anguish, the leader of the power ranger, swung his leg over the bunk bed.

A red light from DECA's camera came on, while a soft hush voice of the Astro Mega Ship's computer asked in concern tone. "Andros, is there something wrong?"

"It's…" Andros trailed off half focused, while feeling his body shudder from another one of his mournful sobs, "It's nothing DECA, just another dream." He crept forward, the stuff dolphin still in his arms, a talisman to ward off the disturbing dream demons of his mind. His door swish open automatically, as he trailed out into the hall, his red jumpsuit pajama's with imprints of teddy bear, made the teenager look like a mere child. A child that craves comfort from his nightmares, walking faster, he went into the auxiliary control, toward the secret chamber, that hid his secret from the rest of the crew of the Astro Mega Ship. The secret panel popped open from where his hands lay, typing in the code to get in, he slide into the room quietly, the door shut with a hiss, as cold greeted him, from where the cryogenic tube housing the silver ranger lay.

The steady beeping sound, at where monitors stood, shows the sign of life that was living in the tube, stabilized in status, and safe in his tucked up sleeping chamber. *Zhane!* Andros sends, hoping with out hope that there would be a response after all these lonely years from, his best friend, love, and soul mate. Any sign that would tell him that he would awaken in seconds to demorph and smile his cocky smile, while making the burden placed upon the Red Astro Ranger diminish.

Faint memories slowly swamped the teenager, with thoughts of the past, where skin across skin smoothed against each other, and laughter, while pillow fights were ensured between the two.

"Oh come on now Andros!" The Silver Ranger teased innocently, "You know you're in love with me, not because of just my body."

Laughter bubbled up from the Red Ranger, "And knowing you Zhane you would be cocky enough to think that was so true."

Smirking at Andros, Zhane smoothed his fingers across Andros's lips. "I am cocky enough, because you love me you know that don't you Dros?" Eyes twinkle mischievously and yet inside laid the vulnerable boy, which can be distorted and destroyed by one single answer.

"Hnn you may be right about that…" Andros lean closer to the silver ranger, knowledge that he still held so much power over his friend, made him cherish the boy, and man in front of him. "I do love you, so I guess I have to put up with your attitude."

Zhane's eyes lit up happily at the admission, no matter how many times, those words came, he always felt like it was the first time, it was admitted to the air. Learning forward, lips touched gently against the other. *Thank you.*

The kiss tingled up and down the Red Astro Ranger's spine; the deep meaning in it brought warmth through his soul. Hands entwined with the other, they both sighed in each other's arms, while surrounded by a red and silver dolphin stuff toy, both given to them, on their birthday, by their parents.

Shaking his head out of the daze, Andros pressed his lips to the frozen tube, while wiping the ice away to look at the morphed silver ranger. "Our time was short, but I won't lose you again, you have to fight Zhane. Not just for yourself, but for us…" Closing his eyes, he breathes slightly in, while clenching his arms around the dolphin closely, on its tail small symbols spelled out the words. Z-H-A-N-E 1 *Please come back to us.*

Walking away, he didn't notice, the beeping of the monitors change into double beats, or the twitching of fingers from beneath the glass, as the door closed behind him. His stuff dolphin nestled in his arms, as he went back to sleep, only to dream of Zhane, even though they didn't get far in loving, only mere kiss's and snuggling, it was something pure that it was enough in his memory of what he did with Zhane, to keep him warm, and hoping.

Hoping, that his true love, would wake up from his eternal sleep to be with him, and live happily ever after. Musing slightly about the Earthling's tales of Sleeping Beauty, he fell unconsciously asleep.

The calling, he didn't hear, as Mr. Sandman cast his sleeping sand upon him, telling him, he would not escape from the dreams that was destine for him. Darkness crept; his mind didn't register the soft insistent calling of his name by a familiar voice. Andros! Andros!
