summary: Andros lost Ashley. Now he's come back for her, but a surprise is waiting for him once he finds her.
Chapter 1: Returning
Andros stood on a cliff overlooking the lake in Angel Grove Park. He sighed. What was the last time he had been here or on Earth for that matter? He didn't know. All he knew was that it had been too long and that he stood here alone.
Another sighed escaped his lips. Not long after he had left Earth all that time ago had he last seen Ashley.
Tears filled his eyes at the mere thought of her name.
She had joint him, Zhane and Kerone when they decided to return to KO-35. He still couldn't comprehend what had happened between the two of them on their way there, nor how it came to be, but he had been in utter bliss and had loved every moment of it.
Then they had arrived on KO-35 and he had had to come back down to earth. How it had happened he could not recall, it happened too fast. An old friend of Zhane showed up and pretended to be his long lost girlfriend or something. She just wouldn't leave him alone and didn't listen to his protests.
Five days later she had cornered him and just started kissing him. Ashley just happened to walk in on them before he had time to push her away. Before he knew what happened Ashley had left.
He knew he should have gone after her, but he didn't. Why? He didn't know. Maybe he was scared of what would happen, but he had let her go back to Earth without trying to fix things.
Now, after (how long had it been anyway?), he was back to look for her and get her back. Zhane and Kerone would join him soon. His four and a half month pregnant sister had not been feeling too good, so she and Zhane decided they would wait until she felt better, so they wouldn't be endangering their unborn child.
"Andros?" A familiar female voice broke his train of thoughts.
He looked down to see TJ, Carlos, Cassie and Saryn, better known as Phantom, standing on the beach. He signalled to them he would come down.
As he turned around and began to make his way down, his thoughts started to wonder again. He was now leaving one of the most secluded places in Angel Grove. Ashley had showed him and called it their spot. It wasn't that people didn't see you at the top of the cliff, that was for sure, but to get up there you had to make your way through some tall bushes and if you didn't know there was a path behind them you wouldn't even look at them twice.
Very little people knew how to get onto the cliff. Ashley had told him she and Jeff, her older brother, had found out by accident while playing when they were little. Jeff didn't think it was that interesting, so he never came there, but Ashley had loved it and Andros could see why. If you were standing on that cliff, you could look out over all of Angel Grove Park and a small part of the city, especially the sunrise and sunset were beautiful from there.
He pulled himself back into reality once he stopped in front of his friends.
"Hey man, long time no seen." TJ greeted. "What brings you here?"
"How long has it been?" Andros voiced one of the many questions spinning through his head.
"One and a half year." Cassie answered softly.
"One and a half year?" Andros asked shocked.
His heart dropped to the pit of his stomic. Surely Ashley would have moved on after this time. Where was she anyway? Shouldn't she be with her friends?
"Yeah." Carlos confirmed, looking at his kerovan friend strangely. "You okay?"
"Yeah, I'm fine. Where's Ashley?"
The four faces turned grim.
"Well, one moment she was going to stay with you guys on KO-35 indefinitely, the next she's back on earth saying you cheated on her and two days later she disappears completely." Cassie explained.
"She's gone?" Andros asked stunned.
"Yeah. What happened on KO-35 anyway? She was a bit too hysteric to make sense." Carlos spoke.
Once again Andros sighed and began to tell the story. After he finished his friends gave him sympathetic looks.
"Well, better late than never." TJ tried to lighten the mood.
"We'll find her, Andros. Don't worry, right Saryn?" Cassie asked her boyfriend.
Saryn, who had been quiet all this time, smiled lovingly at his girlfriend and nodded.
"If we found each other again, then there is hope that you'll find Ashley, Andros."
Andros gave him a small smile.
"Maybe you're right."
"We'll help you find her." Carlos smiled.
"Yeah, Cassie dropped out of college to be with Saryn and Carlos and I will have our Christmas break soon, so you can count on us." TJ grinned.
"But not today, you're probably tired form the trip, right?" Cassie smiled.
"Yeah, I am. You know, maybe in the meantime you could get me up to date on what has been happening here."
