A/N: I know I said I'd wait until I finished Unsealed Fate to put up Mirror, Mirror Part 2, but I like this story. And since I can't seem to stick to just one story, when I'm done with Unsealed Fate, I'll put up another one. It's even semi-fluffy. :P

Chapter 1

The Megaship

"Almost home," TJ said, checking their coordinates. "Two, three more hours."

"Two hours, twenty-seven minutes, and eight seconds," Deca informed him in a show of technological superiority.

"Thanks, Deca," he said. There really was no other answer, not if he wanted to continue living aboard the Megaship. Although, now he didn't need to. He grinned.

"Hey, Carlos, Teej," Cassie said. "Check this out."

TJ leaned over Carlos to glance at Cassie's scanners. They showed unusual energy readings, which Deca pinpointed as coming from one of the habitable, but deserted planets in the system.

"Deca, tell Andros to get in here," TJ ordered. It was probably nothing serious, stranded travelers who had been trying to escape the war most likely. Andros appeared several minutes later, Ashley on his heels. TJ snorted. "What have you two been up to?"

"I don't know what you're talking about." Andros did a credible job of maintaining an innocent expression, or would have if Ashley hadn't broken down laughing. He grinned. "Did you want something?"

"The energy readings for this planet are too high," TJ said. "Deca detects several life forms. Should we check it out?"

"Probably," Andros said. "Anything suggest otherwise?"

"It's safe," Carlos said. "At least the planet itself is."

"Let's go, then," Andros decided. "Deca?"

"Course altered," Deca announced.

"I'll go see what it is," Andros said as they landed. "You guys stay here."

"How come you get to go play hero?" Zhane protested, poking his head into the room, Karone beside him. "What are we doing, by the way?"

"Strange energy readings," Carlos informed him.

"Oh," Zhane said. "Never mind, Andros can go play hero."

"I have no objections to that," TJ said. "I'm feeling a little lazy right now."

"Same here," Cassie said.

"Yeah, me too," Carlos agreed.

"I'm going with you," Ashley said, slipping her arm through Andros's. "Someone has to keep you out of trouble."

"No offense, Ash," TJ said. "But I'm not sure you're the right person for that."

"Shut up." Ashley stuck her tongue out at TJ, and Andros grinned.

"You guys need your morphers reactivated?" Carlos asked.

"Nah," Ashley said. "The communicators are fine. Evil's gone, remember?"

"Okay, then," Carlos said. "Deca, initiate teleportation sequence. Have fun."
