A/N: Yeah this is probably the last thing I should do right now: post another story. I have very few chapters written for this but I had promised SweetSaS that I would post this today. Today's her 18th birthday so everybody go wish her 'Happy Birthday'. Love you girl. Hope you like your present. I don't know when updates for this will happen since I have a lot of stuff to do and 'Facing Grave Danger' is my top priority, despite not getting any reviews. Review, please!(Is it just me or I only post stories on my friend's birthdates?)

Lips of an Angel

Summary: Two years after following separated paths, they face each other again… How will they react?

Chapter 1

"Andros?" – Her voice came, to interrupt this awful memory, which was becoming clearer on his mind. He opened his eyes and sighed. She got closer and leaned in the balcony, near him.

"What are you thinking about?" – She asked.

"My sister, Karone. The last time I saw her was in that park, way over there." – Then he took a break – "Something tells me I'm really close to finding her."

She put her arms around him and said – "I hope you're right. Come on."

He put the locket back where it belonged; around his neck. He turned his back to the park and followed her back to the Megaship. While they were walking, her hand went up to his shoulder.

"Andros?"

He opened his eyes and sighed. She walked to him and her arms wrapped themselves around his body – "You got me worried when I woke up and you weren't there… are you okay?"

He stepped out off her embrace and turned around, so he was now facing her – "Yeah… I just needed to catch some fresh air."

"You could have written a note, you know?" – She said, with a little smile – "If you had, I wouldn't have got so worried and wouldn't have looked for you everywhere…"

He touched her cheek – "I'm sorry. I didn't mean to scare you like that."

She smiled again – "Relax… I found you, everything's okay now."

He gave her a brief grin, but then the same sad look he had moments before took over his face again. He turned his back to her and stared at the place where, a year before, the Megaship (that had been his home for years) had took off, to disappear on the horizon and never to come back again.

"You miss them a lot, don't you?" – She asked, after a while.

"When they left, I said that my home was here, on KO-35. But, let's face it… I spent almost two years flying alone in the ship, only speaking with DECA. Then, I met them… and they become my best of friends. Along with Zhane, of course, but he was asleep back then. When I saved my sister, when we saved Earth and the rest of the Universe… it was teamwork, you know?"

She nodded and Andros kept speaking – "They taught me the meaning of 'teamwork'. I had always thought that I would be able to do everything by myself but I was wrong. And they were patient enough to get to know me. I do miss them a lot!" – Andros paused before going on – "Now, I wonder if KO-35 is really my home…"

"Listen," – she reached for his hand – "When I was little, my mother always told me that home was where your heart is. So, what does your heart tell you? That is what you have to question, if you want to live here or if you want to go back to Earth… that is what you have to question."

They fell back in silence for what it seemed hours and then she proposed – "Why don't we go visit them, sometime?"

"We won't be able to afford a trip for a long time… you know that!" – He said, a bitter tone emerging from his voice.

"Andros…" – She bit her lip and pushed her hair behind her ear – "You'll find another job soon, I'm sure you will. And, in a year, I'll graduate and I'll find a part time job, so that I can attend college and, at the same time, I get some money for us." – She got closer to him – "Please, stop thinking about this?"

"Okay… I'll stop."

"Promise?"

"I promise." – Andros assured her, with a smile.

"Perfect then! Oh… I have to hurry. My parents are waiting for me." – She kissed his lips, briefly, and walked away.

Andros stood there, quiet, for a minute, before turning around and watch her leave. Halfway, she turned back – "Oh, and Andros…"

"Yeah?"

"Last night was the most perfect moment of my life…" – She said – "Thank you!"

He walked to her and looked deep in her eyes before kissing her passionately – "There's nothing to thank for… nothing to thank for."

She smiled and hugged him. He held her close and wrapped his arms around her. She was a little smaller than he was, so her head was resting in his chest, listening to his calm heartbeat, as the night before.

"I love you, Andros." – She whispered and he kissed her again. After a few minutes, she pulled back from the embrace and said, "I really must go now."

Andros nodded and she started walking away again.

"Valerie…" – He called. She turned around and he asked her what he had been willing to ask for a long time – "Would you come live with me, on Earth?"
