Author's Note- This story takes place after the series ends. It's written as if Karone, Zhane & Andros stayed with the other rangers.
Chapter 1: Home Sick
Andros lies atop of a hill in the park propped up on his elbows looking out at the people in the park and at the sun setting over Angel Grove. Ashley stands at the bottom of a hill and sees Andros lying on top of it alone. She looks up at him longing to be held in his strong and loving arms. She walks up the hill unnoticed by Andros. She stands behind him his eyes fixed on the setting sun.
"Beautiful afternoon isn't it?" Ashley asks as a surprised Andros turns to see her standing behind him.
" Yes it is." Andros says a bit distracted as he turns to look at the sun set again.
" What's wrong?" Ashley asks as she sits next to him.
Andros looks at the girl siting next to him, her curly brown hair half in pigtails and half down. He stares at her for a long moment pondering whether or not to tell her what's wrong.
" Nothing's really wrong… I just miss KO-35." Andros says solemnly as he turns his head to face the sun set again.
Ashley looks at him for a moment then puts her hand on top of his. Andros looks down at their hands then up at Ashley in surprise. Ashley smiles at him. He smiles back and turns his hand to intertwine his fingers with Ashley's.
" It's understandable that you miss you're home… Maybe we should go on a trip there." Ashley says and Andros sits up.
" That's a wonderful idea Ashley. There are so many things on KO-35 that I can show you." Andros says happily giving Ashley's hand a gentle squeeze.
She squeezes his hand back and smiles happily at him. Then Andros moves closer to Ashley and kisses her. He pulls back quickly and looks down at the grass ashamed and embarrassed.
"I'm sorry. I-I shouldn't have…" Andros says trailing off when Ashley lifts his face with her freehand.
She puts her hand on the back of his neck and tries to pull him closer to her. Andros moves hesitantly towards Ashley then he follows and their lips meet in a tender and sweet first kiss.
***
On the Mega ship Karone sits on the bridge looking at a picture of KO-35. Zhane walks into the bridge unnoticed by Karone. He walks up behind her and sees what she's looking at.
"Home sick?" Zhane asks curiously as Karone jumps.
"DECA, discontinue image." Karone says hiding her embarrassment.
She turns around and looks up at Zhane her cheeks slightly pink. He smiles down at her.
"It's ok. I miss KO-35 too. There's nothing to be ashamed of by missing your home." Zhane says smoothly making Karone smile and her pink cheeks to disappear.
" Thanks Zhane. It's nice to know someone else feels the same as I do." Karone says smiling.
Zhane kneels down in front of Karone and puts his hand on her shoulder.
" It's no problem, Karone." He says smiling.
Karone's smile widens as she moves her face closer to Zhane's and their lips meet in a tender kiss.
